Chapter 1714: Chapter 939: Fink’s Response
Morris looked at Lis, at a loss for words for a moment.
Although Lis hadn’t said it outright, the implication was already clear.
Do you want the Holy Maiden of the Dawn Church to meet your disciple?
What are you trying to do?
Do you want to woo our Holy Maiden away?
Even though Serafina has not officially succeeded as the Dawn Saintess, such a thing is quite outrageous.
"What do you want to do?"
Morris looked at Lis and said with some helplessness.
If it were anyone else, Morris probably wouldn’t even bother to pay attention.
But Lis is different.
Whether it’s his identity as a World Tree Favored or his demigod strength, both are worth the serious consideration of the Dawn Church.
"I don’t want to do anything, just a meeting."
Lis glanced at Fink beside him, pulled Morris to the other side of the chapel, and whispered:
"You see, my disciple here is an honest person."
"Hmm."
Morris nodded, but clearly appeared somewhat skeptical.
Fink, as Lis’s disciple, naturally drew the attention of the Dawn Church, although Morris hadn’t paid much attention before.
However, for Fink to become Lis’s disciple, Morris didn’t think he was just an honest person.
"Don’t be anxious!"
Lis said to Morris with a smile:
"I’m not yet clear on the situation within your Dawn Church. It’s not like this hasn’t happened before."
Previously, in the Dawn Church, there was a Holy Maiden who followed a legendary hero, though the hero was actually a Divine Son of the God of Dawn.
However, this matter is a hidden secret of the Dawn Church, known to very few.
But Lis, having practically emptied the Elf Clan’s library, knows about these things too.
Seeing Morris wanting to say something more, Lis spoke directly:
"Of course, I’m not here to ask you for your Holy Maiden."
"Morris, you see, this kid Fink seems to have fallen for your Holy Maiden."
"Of course, it seems he hasn’t spoken to your Holy Maiden about this yet."
The smile on Lis’s face grew even brighter.
"I think, since I’ve brought him here, why not let them meet each other."
"If Serafina isn’t interested in Fink, let’s make it clear today so my disciple can stop brooding."
"You haven’t seen how this kid’s been drinking himself into a stupor these past few days, lovestruck!"
"As a teacher, I feel I should lend a hand."
"And if... the outcome is not as you expect?"
Morris looked at Lis, initially wanting to ask what if Serafina was interested in Fink?
But saying such a thing seemed undignified given his position.
"Um... hahaha."
Lis laughed and patted Morris, somewhat absentmindedly:
"Let the kids handle their own matters."
"I think, if they do form a bond, it wouldn’t be too much of an issue for you all, right?"
"If all else fails, I’ll just go talk to His Holiness Pope Blais!"
"..."
Morris looked at Lis, somewhat helpless.
I knew it; Lis coming here indeed signaled no good.
Serafina is almost confirmed as the next Dawn Saintess, and any disturbance now would surely cause some chaos in the church.
But as Lis said, within the Church of the Gods, everything comes with a price.
As long as it’s worth it, even His Holiness the Pope could make sacrifices.
And a Preparatory Saintess, until she officially becomes the Dawn Saintess, does not significantly impact the Dawn Church.
Still... such occurrences always leave Morris somewhat miffed.
"Alright."
Morris also felt somewhat helpless.
It’s something, as an archbishop, he can still decide on.
You can’t truly let Lis go to the Pope, right?
In fact, the relationship between Kane Floating City and the Dawn Church has always been quite good.
As Lis said, if anything happens between Fink and Serafina, it’s not entirely unacceptable to the Dawn Church.
"Thank you."
Lis said with a smile.
For the Dawn Church, this is ultimately a somewhat disgraceful matter.
And within the church, there are often some old rigid minds who would firmly oppose such things.
Of course, Morris is not such a rigid person.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had such a good relationship with Mr. Stephens, never putting on airs in front of him.
Soon, a petite figure in a white robe emerged from the back of the chapel.
Lis watched this scene with interest, scrutinizing the young girl before him.
Serafina’s skin, under the morning light streaming into the chapel, glowed with the sheen of pearls, delicate and smooth as if could break with a whisper.
Her face was exquisite and beautiful, carrying a few degrees of holy majesty while not lacking the softness of a young girl.
Her eyes were bright and profound, the light flowing within them conveying endless warmth and hope.
Simply standing there, Serafina exuded an atmosphere of warm and harmonious dawn light, akin to a Goddess in the morning, sacred and inviolable.
Exceptional indeed!
Lis assessed the Serafina who came before him and Morris, nodding slightly.
No wonder she could captivate Fink so thoroughly!
The key is, she even took away Fink’s courage to confess directly, sending him to drown his sorrows in drink instead.
"Are you Serafina?"
Lis looked at the girl before him and said with a smile.
