Chapter 62 : Do me a favour
Chapter 62 - Do me a favour
Huh? What's going on?
In the queue, Winnie suddenly noticed something strange, his Virtue had increased by 160 without him knowing.
From 6744 to 6904.
And according to the prompt, it seemed to have increased during the rehearsal.
Ѐ n̂ü_m а
Hmm, was it when he was admiring the thick thighs? Because only at that moment would Winnie be so focused that he wouldn't notice the increase in Virtue.
Weird, which female lead had an emotional fluctuation towards him again?

Aesphyra? Doesn't seem like it. Aesphyra is only generous towards Vanessa, and the Virtue she gives him never exceeds 100. She's extremely stingy.
But this does fit her character. That promiscuous and heartless woman is only gentle and generous towards girls. For boys?
Sorry, please keep a polite and conscious distance of at least five meters, no physical contact, not even fabric friction, or else she'd have to wash herself several times when she gets home.
Moreover, Aesphyra shouldn't have had the chance to give him Virtue. He didn't deliberately provoke her, so how would this penny-pincher reward him with Virtue?
E n̄ ümа̂.і̌ d́
Could it be Mirexia again?
But he thought he hadn't done anything to cause Mirexia's emotions to fluctuate so dramatically just now.
Winnie felt it was very strange, a bit baffling.
“Alright, alright, Alfarin, we are well aware of the situation at Carillian Academy. They are the great heroes who resisted the Demon God Pillar, loyal followers of the Goddess. What are you trying to say?” On the other side, seeing this, the amiable Archbishop immediately stepped in to smooth things over.

But why didn't he step in right after Alfarin spoke? Why wait until after the explanation?
Let's just say those who understand, understand. Everyone knows it, but no one will point it out openly.

“I hope you can adjust your attitude towards the Goddess's attendants and the Pope's envoys!” Alfarin, having been given a way out, still maintained a very high posture.
Winnie, however, began to see through it somewhat.
Their posture was likely intended to pressure Carillian Academy, to take the initiative and facilitate what they planned to do next.
It was a classic case of good cop, bad cop, since they were in cahoots all along.
The Archbishop from the Horaleth family remained silent, not communicating with Luna. They only had a brief eye contact when they got off the carriage, and that was it.
If Winnie hadn't been observing the Archbishop and accidentally caught a glimpse, he probably wouldn't have noticed.

“Alright, Alfarin, we are all devout believers of the Goddess. Thanks to Carillian Academy, the Demon God Pillar crisis was nipped in the bud, preventing the contamination from spreading. Even the Goddess has favored their courage. Your words are quite inappropriate for the occasion.” The amiable Archbishop straightened his posture and then put on a smile as he addressed Morinkate.
“My apologies, Instructor. Archbishop Alfarin's temperament, as I'm sure everyone has heard, is quite straightforward, and so is his speech. We are truly sorry. Our visit here is in accordance with the Goddess's will, inspired by her, to offer our condolences and assistance to those who have bravely resisted the Demon God Pillar and its followers.”
“Your courageous efforts in battle have earned the Goddess's recognition, even to the point of her divine manifestation. It's both admirable and regrettable, regrettable because we were not fortunate enough to witness the Goddess's descent.” With that, the Archbishop shook his head regretfully.
“Always remember, we are of the same clan, comrades on the same front, devout followers of the Goddess. If there's any place where you need assistance, you can always tell us, and we will help to the end.” Then, the amiable Archbishop chuckled.
“Indeed, I will keep that in mind, esteemed Archbishops. Please, this way.” Under Morinkate's guidance, the three Archbishops entered the open gates of the academy amidst the queue of instructors and students.
The Holy Cross Knights surrounded the three Archbishops like stars around the moon.

Being protected by the Holy Cross Knights is an honor only the Archbishops of the Church of Radiance can enjoy.
“This must be Princess Mirexia, right? I've heard some rumors about you. Truly, heroes emerge from the young.” Walking in the middle, the Archbishop stroked his beard and praised Mirexia, who was walking alongside Morinkate.

“I dare not take the credit. I merely bask in the glory of my forebears and family.” Mirexia spoke modestly, with a respectful attitude.
Having Mirexia, the princess of the Camella Kingdom, welcome the foreign dignitaries was most appropriate.
Mirexia, with her high status, noble lineage, and great strength, knew exactly how to converse with people of this level.
After all, she had been trained since childhood, and this was one of her specialties.
W̄ ѐ b̆ nо́ v̆ êl̄ Еǹum̂ a
Morinkate and Mirexia accompanied the three Archbishops, surrounded by a group of Holy Cross Knights.
Winnie's attention occasionally drifted to Luna, only to find that the Horaleth Archbishop had no intention of greeting her, and Luna had no plans to seek out this elder. Apart from that brief eye contact earlier, the two seemed like strangers.
Was their relationship in the family not good? Clearly not.
This middle-aged Archbishop seemed to be one of Luna's elders, and a relatively close one at that.

From the original story, it's clear that Luna holds a significant position in the Horaleth family, possibly even the next head of the family.
Yet they didn't communicate at all.
Ѐ ñùṁ а.і̃ d
Winnie suddenly wondered if both were deliberately avoiding each other.
After all, many students here didn't know Luna. If the Archbishop were to approach her now and address her by her family title, it would cause quite a stir.
And Luna herself might not be interested in such attention, or perhaps she didn't want to rely on her family's influence to prove herself.
Thus, she didn't plan to approach him, as if afraid others would know of their connection.
At this thought, Winnie's favorability towards Luna increased slightly.
Regardless of whether she recognized him earlier or if it was intentional, her spirit of not relying on family and forebears was quite admirable.

Morinkate was the chief combat instructor.
Though strong in battle and having held this important position for many years, he wasn't particularly eloquent. At this moment, Mirexia's role became evident.
As both the student council president and the princess of Camella Kingdom, her status and qualifications earned her a certain level of respect from the three Archbishops.
If it were anyone else as student council president, they might have been nervous and stuttering, a result of the pressure from the status and experience gap.
But Mirexia was more than just the student council president of Carillian Academy; she also bore the title of 'future Queen of Camella Kingdom.'
Moreover, she spoke with grace and elegance, which made her conversation with the three archArchbishops quite pleasant.
Ê ňũ mӑ . î d́
Winnie couldn't help but think that if it were him talking to these three old fogies, he'd probably kill the conversation in minutes, leaving them with nothing to say.
After all, his knowledge and experience were far too limited compared to these old men who had lived for so many years.

As the three passed by the student queue, Winnie felt a glance in his direction. He looked back and found it was from Archbishop Alfarin.
The latter calmly glanced at him, his eyes filled with a natural disdain and arrogance.
Ah, the familiar flavor.
Winnie didn't know if this old fogey knew his identity, if it was personal, or if he used this look on everyone.
Ê n̆um а̂ . ǐd.
But it made Winnie very uncomfortable.
So, Master Winnie retaliated with the same look and even stuck out his tongue in a teasing gesture.
Who do you think you are, old man? What, you can glare at me, but I can't glare back?
“Ahem!” Alfarin seemed completely unprepared for Winnie's retaliation. Apparently unable to make a scene in public, he could only cough dryly.

The Archbishop in the middle was still talking to Mirexia and seemed not to notice, but the Horaleth Archbishop's lips curled up slightly.
So did a certain silver-haired individual, who, upon noticing Winnie's antics, couldn't help but chuckle but quickly composed herself before anyone else saw.
Ё n̆ ūṁa
Besides these few, someone else noticed Winnie's expression, the red-haired female guard captain walking beside the three Archbishops.
She merely adjusted her sword hilt and said nothing.
But
Do you think Winnie did all this just out of frustration, dissatisfaction with the church, or a momentary impulse to provoke the old fogey?
Well, Winnie would say you're only seeing the surface. You think he's at the second level, but in reality, he's at the top.
Mirexia didn't notice Winnie's expression. As she walked, she introduced the post-catastrophe reconstruction work at Carillian Academy and the specific buildings that were damaged.

“Hmm, it seems the repairs will be quite costly.” The Archbishop in the middle stroked his chin. “But don't worry, the church will cover the expenses.”
“We appreciate your kindness, but I believe the academy has its own plans.” Mirexia glanced at Morinkate.
Of course, such an offer should be accepted immediately. These benefits aren't free; they're a setup for something the other party will ask for in return.
“No matter. You have the Goddess's recognition. As the executors of her will on earth, it's only right for us to provide assistance.” The Archbishop waved his hand.
“Moreover, the Goddess's manifestation repelled the Demon God Pillar. We believe this is a miracle worthy of being recorded in history. Therefore, we've brought the church's historians to document the entire event in detail, from its cause to its conclusion.”
“This is to enrich human history, so that future generations facing similar challenges can learn from it and overcome them. We ask for your understanding and cooperation in this matter for the greater good of humanity.” The Archbishop chuckled. “Our Pope takes this very seriously. To this end, we've enlisted the help of other church-affiliated students currently studying here.”

‘This was interesting. It could be seen as their meticulous attitude towards historical records, but digging deeper, the subtext was, 'Carillian Academy has church-affiliated students who are our informants. We've already gathered the general situation from them. It's best not to hide anything, or else some statements won't align.’
“Rest assured, we will answer all questions regarding this matter.” Morinkate replied confidently.

“Good, that's the best.” The archArchbishop smiled.
The queue arrived at Saintness Selina Cathedral.
“Fortunately, Saintness Selina Cathedral, though located in the heart of the disaster, was not heavily affected. Only a few statues fell. I believe this is due to the protection of the Goddess and the Saintess.” Mirexia introduced.
At this topic, Winnie couldn't help but glance at Aesphyra, who remained expressionless, as if the topic had nothing to do with her, even though she was the one who had protected the cathedral.
E ṅù m̄ а ._і́ d̊
And the moment Winnie's gaze landed on her, Aesphyra noticed and looked back, her eyes carrying a hint of an ambiguous smile.
Winnie averted his gaze.
They entered Saintness Selina Cathedral.
This place was usually closed to the public, except when the Church of Radiance's Archbishops visited.

Thus, this was its first opening since the disaster.
Inside Saintness Selina Cathedral, the three Archbishops paid their respects to the Goddess statue, and all the Holy Cross Knights knelt on one knee, holding their sword hilts, lowering their gaze in the highest tribute to the Goddess and the Saintess.
Е̄ñûm̂ ӓ . id
After entering the cathedral, the Holy Cross Knights moved even more carefully, as this was the resting place of Saintess Serena.
The students and instructors did the same, except for one, Winnie.
He entered the cathedral as if he were at home, completely at ease, with no hint of reverence in his eyes.
Fortunately, no one paid him much attention, so few noticed.
But someone did.
Someone who had been keeping an eye on Winnie.

The harsh Archbishop Alfarin.
To this, Winnie was indifferent.
He did this precisely to make the Church of Radiance people notice. If they didn't look at him, he'd feel like he wasted his effort.
Perhaps because this was the resting place of the Saintess, where disputes were unwelcome, Archbishop Alfarin remained silent.
When they reached the cathedral's side hall, where high-ranking clergy visiting the academy would stay, everyone stopped.
The student representatives' job was only to escort them here. After a night's rest, the Archbishops would meet with the academy's higher-ups to discuss matters, which were no longer the students' concern.

Having escorted the Church of Radiance Archbishops here, the instructors and students were to return. The Holy Cross Knights would handle the security, so there was no need for them to worry.
Among the dispersing crowd, Winnie quietly approached Mirexia.

“Mirexia, I need a favor.”
“What is it? What favor?” Though Mirexia still had some reservations about Winnie's earlier interaction with the honey-haired girl, she could tell from his expression that this was important.
She knew the difference between urgent and non-urgent matters.
“Later, you'll help me act out a scene. We'll do it like this...” Winnie pretended to walk alongside Mirexia without speaking, whispering so only she could hear.
Е n ú m̆ а
“You mean?...” Mirexia glanced at the archArchbishops behind them and nodded slightly. “I understand. I'll cooperate.”
“Good.” With that, Winnie's steps veered off course. Seeming tired, he didn't follow the others out of the cathedral but instead found a bench to sit on, crossing his legs in a very casual manner.
