I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 673

Chapter 673 Chapter 131 “Anomaly”
“You say anomaly?” Verafia was slightly surprised, raised her eyes, and looked around.
In her vision, it was entirely the interior of a church, with carved reliefs writing scriptures, statues of deities, majestic and sacred… and books collected on bookshelves, she didn’t even notice the slightest strangeness or abnormality.
However, she didn’t think Ig was talking nonsense.
Although she was a goddess, the divine sense she could use was very limited, while Ig possessed the True Sight Eye, so perhaps he perceived more than her.
After thinking for a while without an answer, she still looked up at Ig as if asking a question.
“Young Lady, don’t you think the atmosphere in this church is too ordinary?”
Ig said with a serious face, “Tomorrow is the church’s Divine Hymn Ceremony, and according to Miss Tais’s budget, the conspiracy they need is about to be carried out. But look, apart from the knights stationed outside the church, the atmosphere here is exactly the same as usual. Instead, it makes me feel strange…”
Verafia was stunned for a while before reacting to his words.
“You idiot, what could be strange about it!”
Verafia was so angry that she wanted to laugh, her big eyes glaring fiercely, “No matter what conspiracy Trist or Cardinal Bro has, how could they tell everyone in the church. At most, they would just tell them to be careful of attacks from Frost Calamity followers.”
Before her voice had even finished, she saw the slight upturn of the young man’s lips, knowing that this guy was deliberately teasing her again.
Verafia stomped her little foot angrily, turned her head, and ignored this hateful guy, hugging the church’s books with both hands, puffing her cheeks, and walking forward alone.
…
Under the nun’s robe, white stockings wrapped her legs, and she lightly stepped in round-toed leather shoes, making faint crisp sounds on the floor.
From time to time, devout nuns passed by. After walking through the previous corridor, they arrived at a corridor approaching the Bishop’s Cathedral. Compared to the scene illuminated by burning flames before, both the light and the sacred religious atmosphere were much richer.
Verafia stopped, her faint shadow cast beside her by the light. She raised her head, looked around, and her beautiful eyebrows could not help but wrinkle slightly.
Near the main church of the church, the scene appeared solemn and sacred.
Furthermore, the Church of the Fire Saint, being an enemy of the Frost Calamity, also revered deities of flames, so naturally, they revered the power of flames even more.
Many statues and murals were inlaid with flame crystals, and the emanating flame elements made Verafia instinctively feel comfortable.
This was not because she had noticed anything wrong.
It was just like what she had said to Ig before. This church had no anomaly. The vast majority of priests and nuns were praying as usual, or hoping that the Divine Hymn ceremony the next day would bring them the hope of defeating the Frost Calamity.
However, another indisputable fact was that such a church was also shrouded in the conspiracy of the Frost Calamity… Knowing this, even the most peaceful scenes made her feel displeased and a strange sense of being in a cold abyss under the filter.
“Trist is undoubtedly a follower of the Frost Calamity. But, other than that, Cardinal Bro, and the two Counts whom Trist invited into the city…”
The young girl murmured softly.
Behind her, Ig, pretending to be nonchalant, caught up. His gaze swept outside the window.
“However, there are quite a few knights stationed in this church. Not only Trist’s Judgment Army, but the coat of arms of some people are exactly the same as the knights who surrounded Shiel’s castle.”
“Isn’t that very normal?”
Breaking away from her thoughts, Verafia gave him a roll of her eyes, “Since Sir Trist has a reason to defend against the Frost Calamity followers, would these clergy refuse him and a request from a Cardinal?”
As she spoke, Verafia turned her small face, her big eyes glancing slightly sideways. Outside the window, the brilliance of the frost moon seemed to blend with the candlelight inside the church. The light reflected from a piece of knight’s armor stabbed her eyes. She suddenly sneered.
“Of course, even if the vast majority of people are on the opposite side of the Frost Calamity, Trist is a spy of the Frost Calamity… and, besides those two Counts, who knows how many people who also believe in the Frost Calamity they will have planted among the knights.”
Ig nodded. Although Trist controlled the entire city with the reputation of a hero and the prestige of the Commander of the Punishment Army, if it were known that this Knight Commander colluded with the Frost Calamity, the vast majority of people would stand against him.
However, as Verafia said, he could completely draw out a group of people truly loyal to him, as knights, to come to this church under the guise of protecting the church.
Even if Trist’s true face was revealed, based on this church alone, even with the soldiers loyal to Shiel and the Kasha Cult, they would likely not be able to contend with Trist.
Ig felt a moment of difficulty, “Then, Young Lady, what is your intention?”
“At least, find Azer first. I have some guesses as to why Trist captured him, but I can’t confirm them yet. As for Cardinal Bro…”
Verafia’s eyes flickered slightly, her gold eyes raised slightly.
She could feel that Cardinal Bro and the imprisoned Azer, although not in the same place, were in the same direction.
As for Cardinal Bro, she judged based on Mistetinn’s Staff in the possession of this Saint. As for Azer, he cultivated part of her laws… As a goddess of flames, even though her divine spark was gone, within a certain range, Verafia could roughly deduce his location.
She shook her head slightly, “No matter what, if possible, we should confirm the stance of this Saint Rank. If he has also defected to the Frost Calamity, that would be the worst outcome…”
—As for the best outcome, of course, it would be that this Bishop Lord is as rumored to be, stubborn but also a devout follower.
If Cardinal Bro saw her display the divine power of flames, descend as the goddess of blazing flames, immediately kowtow three times, and worship her as the true form of the Fire Saint, and then obediently offer Mistetinn’s Staff, that would naturally be the best thing.
Under the nun’s hood, Verafia’s lifted face hooked a smile, and she let out a crisp laugh.
She shook her head, driving away the thoughts that popped into her mind during this fantasy time.
Azer cultivated some of her laws, but he was still imprisoned in the church. As a Saint Rank, Verafia did not believe that Cardinal Bro would not have the slightest inkling.
If Cardinal Bro was truly a fanatic, and she displayed the divine power of flames, she would likely be regarded as an evil god by this stubborn Saint, and be hacked to death while chanting religious prayers.
