Chapter 365: Noble Council

This Bishop John is different from the previous Bishop Claude; so overbearing, so direct... Audrey maintained her elegant smile, nodding gently at Klein.

"I will inform my father of the Bishop's thoughts," Audrey said. Her father was a great noble and a major banker, holding a very high status in noble circles and possessing a certain power to interfere with the Noble Council.

"Hmm..." Klein nodded gently. After thinking for a moment, he decided to be more aggressive, "I will write to the Royal Family and the heads of the major Churches."

"That would be even better." Audrey's smile became more sincere; not needing her father to step forward was the best result.

"I am a bit busy recently, so I will take my leave now." Klein said directly, and after nodding gently to Audrey, he left the conference room.

"Why is he like that?" Susie suddenly spoke up, whispering. This behavior of Klein's, leaving a lady alone here, was already very impolite.

"The Dream Sect is just like that." Audrey, however, had no other thoughts, "Have you forgotten that the previous two times we didn't even get to see that Archbishop?"

"Oh, I suppose that's true." Susie sat in front of Audrey, wagging her tail, "But I feel like he recognizes me? Or perhaps he identified me as an Extraordinary Creature right away?"

Audrey's beautiful willow-leaf brows furrowed slightly, "That is indeed a bit strange; he had the same reaction when he saw me..."

"But I am very certain I have never met him before."

Audrey and Susie quickly fell silent, as a female Dream priest walked in.

The person who heard the report was silent for a while, slowly shaking their head, and picked up the documents on the table to read them carefully.

"Comfortable!" Klein had never done such an easy mission.

One hour later, Klein received replies from the Storm Church, the Evernight Church, and the Augustus Family.

Otherwise, the internal meeting of the nobles certainly would not have allowed others to participate.

On the other side, Klein returned to his office and truly sent several telegrams in the name of the Dream Sect to the Royal Family and the Churches.

"Good."

Ah, no, implementing the "Survival Act" was the Dream Bishop's responsibility to begin with.

"Claude delegated all the Archbishop's power; now, the Dream Sect in Loen is run by him."

"However, I wonder what such a strong-willed Dream Bishop will bring?"

"Miss Audrey, we need to begin."

"... First, please allow me to welcome Bishop John to Backlund in the name of the Augustus Family... It is our honor that the Noble Council can receive the attention of the Dream Bishop... Hereby, I formally invite Bishop John to attend the Noble Council held at Order Mountain in three days..."

To put it bluntly, it was a form of forcing the palace, just like when the heads of the major Churches went directly to the Loen Royal Palace before.

"... The people of the Dream Sect are indeed full of oddballs."

"John Constantine?" At this very moment, the information on the new Dream Bishop, who had been in office for less than a day, had already reached the desks of all relevant forces.

"This is the charm of power." Klein felt not a shred of guilt for abusing his power.

"From the Solomon Empire..." This person stood up, unable to sit still because of this document.

"... This resume is simply perfect for a 'Dream' believer."

The middle-aged man wearing a crisp military uniform had a grave expression.

Coming from the Solomon Empire meant that even for their military, investigating the authenticity of this Bishop's identity had become a monumental problem.

—For over two thousand years, the Solomon Empire's Royal Family and Angel Family had held absolute, terrifying control over their country; even "MI9" could not reach inside.

Combined with the age of the newly appointed Bishop John, this Major General formed the same conjecture as Bishop Claude.

Perhaps he was the offspring or student of some big shot here to gild his resume, and he might rise step by step in the Dream Sect in the future...

"In that case, many methods cannot be used." The Major General frowned slightly, then ordered, "Continue the investigation!"

"Yes!" His subordinate retreated respectfully.

And in the few minutes after the subordinate exited, the Major General lit a white candle and waited quietly.

Poof! The flame suddenly surged, and an elderly man with a refined temperament walked out from the fire.

"Qiunas." The old man looked at the Major General, who stood with his hands behind his back, and nodded slightly.

"Herwin, in three days, you may need to attend the Noble Council at Order Mountain. There is someone who requires you to provide a professional psychological assessment and profile."

"Who is it?" Herwin Rambis asked.

"John Constantine, the newly appointed Dream Bishop." Qiunas Colger handed the relevant documents to this Master of psychology.

"Dream Bishop?" Herwin Rambis's hand holding the documents stiffened slightly. This was truly not a good target; for them, the high Spirituality of the "Dream" Pathway was no secret, and even a Demigod-level "Spectator" could easily be discovered.

"There is no need to take action against him; just determine if he has any influence on our plan." Qiunas stated his request.

"... Very well." Herwin Rambis thought for a moment and finally nodded.

Time came to three days later. Klein put on the specially prepared white and gold divine robes and arrived at Order Mountain.

This was a mountain located in the Backlund Queen District, said to have been built by the ancestor of the Augustus Family, the "Founder" William I, symbolizing the majesty of the Loen Kingdom's laws and order.

Klein straightened his clothes and walked toward the palace on Order Mountain. During this time, he unsurprisingly met Saint Anthony of the Evernight Church and the "God's Singer" of the Storm Church.

These two were the pinnacle of the Church forces in Backlund, and they were more than a head above Klein in Sequence and status.

"You are John Constantine?" The "God's Singer" Ace Snake looked at Klein with silver eyes, making Klein feel as if this old man might hit him with a bolt of Lightning at any moment.

But Klein was now the face of the Dream Sect, so naturally, he could not show cowardice. He looked at this "God's Singer" and nodded gently.

"Not bad, more reliable than Claude." This serious-looking old man suddenly revealed a smile, which almost frightened Klein.

"Snake is of the Punishment Angel lineage." Beside him, Saint Anthony had already restrained his terrifying side, smiling as he introduced him to Klein.

The "Punishment Angel" in the Storm Church was the incarnation of the "Supreme Dream".

Every other Church also had similar Dream factions, which were relatively more inclined toward the Dream Sect.

Klein understood, his expression softening significantly, and he nodded and smiled at these two true Church bigwigs, "It was my oversight for not visiting the two of you earlier."
