Chapter 2444 The Letter

Karolina thought for a moment, picked up a piece of paper and a pen from her desk, and quickly wrote a note. After sealing it carefully, she handed the envelope to a Holy Realm knight standing beside her.

“Norbert, deliver this letter to Bishop Will at the Holy Light Cathedral. Follow any instructions given by Bishop Will.”

“Yes, ma’am!”

Norbert respectfully took the envelope from the Holy Realm knight.

“Bai Mu.”

Fang Heng stepped forward and responded, “Yes.”

“Norbert’s identity might cause some trouble during the delivery. Accompany him to ensure the letter reaches its destination.”

“Understood.”

[Hint: The player has triggered a mission-Delivering the Letter.]

Mission name: Delivering the Letter

Mission difficulty: F

Mission requirements: Accompany Norbert and deliver Karolina’s handwritten letter to Bishop Will at the Holy Light Cathedral.

Mission reward: Favorability rating, Holy Court faction reputation.

Fang Heng glanced at the mission and began to ponder.

Originally, he had planned to investigate the next steps of the Holy Realm’s actions, find a way to lure them into Frost Hell and use the shady line to trap them. Instead, he found himself inexplicably involved in a mission for the Holy Court faction.

Karolina waved her hand, and a dark golden teleportation gate appeared in front of them, floating in mid-air.

“Do not delay. Go and return quickly.”

“Yes, ma’am!”

Norbert respectfully tucked the letter away, glanced back at Fang Heng, nodded slightly, and stepped into the teleportation gate.

Fang Heng followed closely behind.

…

[Hint: The player has entered an advanced game world-Land of Holy Radiance.]

As they stepped through the teleportation gate, Fang Heng’s vision gradually adjusted to the surroundings.

He felt bathed in warm, radiant sunlight.

Land of Holy Radiance.

One of the high-level game worlds of the Holy Court, serving as a major base of operations.

Despite Norbert’s covert allegiance to the Holy Court, his background in necromancy made him uncomfortable in this environment.

“Let’s go. We need to deliver the letter to the Holy Light Cathedral.”

Karolina had used a fixed-point teleportation passage, so upon arrival, they appeared directly in the city center where the cathedral was located.

The city’s inhabitants were all followers of the Holy Court. Norbert quickly grabbed a passerby to ask for directions.

“It’s that way.”

The young man pointed toward a towering structure in the heart of the city, “That’s the Holy Cathedral. It’s Sunday, so there are many worshippers here today. You don’t look like locals. You must have come from outside for worship. Since it’s already quite late, it might be too late to get in now. I suggest you wait for the next service…”

“Got it, thanks.”

Norbert barely had time to listen, quickly acknowledging and pulling his subordinate along.

“Let’s go.”

Soon, Fang Heng and the others arrived hurriedly at the entrance of the cathedral.

The Holy Light Cathedral was located in the city center and covered an area of about half a football field. Despite its size, the queue of believers waiting to enter for worship wrapped around the cathedral several times.

“Let’s go over there,” Norbert directed as he led Fang Heng to an internal passage, stopping in front of two high-tier Holy Court guards at the entrance.

“We are here on the commission of Purifier Karolina, and we need to deliver an urgent letter to Bishop Will personally,” Norbert said, handing over the envelope. “This is the letter, and it must be delivered directly to Bishop Will.”

The two high-tier Holy Court guards examined the envelope carefully but did not immediately let them pass. Clearly, they harbored doubts about Norbert’s identity.

Norbert’s undead aura was unmistakable, and it was difficult to dispel the suspicion it aroused. Everyone’s gaze towards Norbert and his subordinate was marked with undisguised skepticism.

Fang Heng quietly asked, “Did Karolina not provide any proof of identity?”

“No,” Norbert replied, visibly irritated, thinking to himself that Fang Heng was present at the time.

Fang Heng raised his hand and showed the Book of Creation to the guards. He then turned to Norbert and asked quietly, “They don’t seem to be hostile towards me. Should I try taking the letter in alone?”

Norbert thought for a moment before shaking his head slightly. He was uneasy about Fang Heng’s unclear background.

Seeing Norbert’s mistrust, Fang Heng shrugged and fell silent. He was curious about the contents of the letter but had not had a chance to even touch it, as Norbert had kept it securely throughout their journey.

After several rounds of negotiation, the guards relented after making the necessary inquiries and allowed them to enter the Holy Light Cathedral. They were led to a lounge at the entrance to wait while the chief guard was notified.

Despite being told they could rest, a few Holy Court guards remained stationed outside the lounge’s door to keep watch.

Norbert and his companions grew increasingly impatient as they waited.

Knowing that the Purifiers from the Holy Realm could only stay in Punoze for 24 hours, if they did not complete the mission within that time frame, they would have to return to the Holy Realm. And what about him?

What would he do?

If he failed the mission, not only would he lose any benefits promised by the Holy Court, but he also wouldn’t be able to stay in the undead faction. It would be a complete disaster.

At this point, Norbert had no way out.

Fang Heng, on the other hand, occasionally focused his gaze on Norbert. He had been severely wronged by Norbert in the death knight space. He was looking for an opportunity to exact some revenge.

Let’s start with this letter delivery mission.

“Norbert, waiting here is not a solution. They seem to be least hostile towards me. I’ll try to communicate with them.”

Although Norbert did not fully trust Fang Heng and was reluctant to let him cause more trouble, there didn’t seem to be any other option. Desperate times called for desperate measures, so he decided to let Fang Heng try.

What if it worked?

“Alright, just be cautious.”

Fang Heng stood up and walked towards the door.

The door creaked open.

The two Holy Court guards stationed outside the door looked at Fang Heng as he stepped out from the wooden door.

“Ah, it’s fine. I was feeling a bit bored and thought I’d get some fresh air. Don’t mind me, continue with your duties.”

Ignoring the guards’ gaze, Fang Heng waved his hand dismissively.

After waiting at the door for a full two minutes, Fang Heng turned around and returned to the room.

This time, however, Fang Heng held a compound eye of Hell Faram in his hand behind his back. At the same time, the omniscient eye appeared in his right pupil.

“Everyone, I am the assistant responsible for the Holy Light Cathedral. Are you here to see Bishop Will?”

Norbert immediately stood up and said, “Yes, that’s us.”

In the eyes of Norbert and his two subordinates, Fang Heng’s appearance and attire had undergone a significant transformation.

Fang Heng continued, “May I ask what the matter is?”

“We have an urgent letter from Purifier Karolina of the Holy Realm, and we need to deliver it personally to Bishop Will.”
