Chapter 72
Chapter 72 Compromise
The Goddess of Light was perfect and flawless. But her beauty was simulated and could only exist in this virtual game world.
She always looked arrogant and otherworldly as if she was superior to all human beings. There was no emotion on her perfect face and it seemed that she had no idea about sorrow, joy, and suffering. She was the goddess for the common people and she looked at human beings as if they were bugs or insects.
But Xiaofeng was dissatisfied with her attitude. Why was she superior to others?
Xiaofeng couldn’t help thinking dark thoughts. To the common people, the Goddess of Light was sacred and distant. What would she do when meeting the God of Light? She might be subservient and servile at that time.
However, the Goddess of Light might notice the dirty look of Xiaofeng. She looked at Xiaobai who was holding his thigh tightly and became angry. She was not unapproachable at this moment and she looked at Xiaofeng with angry, which made her more perfect and charming.
“Human adventurer, you’ve made a huge mistake!”
Goddess of Light remained silent while a group of old cardinals took the lead to criticize him. Two serious bishops with white beards came forward. They were Kaiser and Renault.
Renault said coldly, “The advent ceremony of the Bright Mountain is held to welcome the Oracle! But you turned the Oracle into your pet!”
Renault pointed at Xiaofeng and said angrily. Looking at Xiaobai who was holding Xiaofeng’s thigh, he was furious and wanted to complain once again.
“Haha, please calm down.”
Bishop Kaiser smiled and came forward to play the peacemaker. He said, “The adventurers have the ability to tame the pets and this is the rule made by the Creator. Since the Oracle has become the pet of this human adventurer, we must accept this fact and can’t violate this rule.”
Then Bishop Kaiser looked at Xiaofeng and said, “We find a solution after discussing with others. Under the auspices of the goddess, we passed it by voting.”
“What’s the solution?”
Xiaofeng asked with doubts. He felt that Bishop Kaiser was cunning and crafty.
“The Oracle belongs to the Bright Mountain and you can’t take her away.”
“What? No! She’s my pet and I’ll not leave her alone in this place!”
Xiaofeng refused their proposal immediately and shook his head without hesitation. Xiaobai had a strong fighting capacity and would help him a lot. He would never leave her in the Temple of Light.
“Well, you have no right to refuse our proposal! The Oracle is of great importance to the Temple of Light and she must stay here! You’d better accept this arrangement, otherwise, you’ll be imprisoned in the Bright Mountain and will never leave this place!” Goddess of Light snorted and said coldly.
“I’m not afraid of that! You can have a try! I’ll immediately put Xiaobai into the pet space and the Temple of Light will never find your Oracle!” Xiaofeng also said shamelessly.
The Creator mentioned by them should be the system. It meant that they also couldn’t violate the system rules and the pet space was the private system of the players.
“You bastard!” The Goddess of Light immediately became furious and stopped talking with Xiaofeng. Her ample bosom heaved and her face turned cold.
“Please don’t be emotional. Please calm down. We can discuss and find a better solution!” Bishop Kaiser interrupted them once again and looked at Xiaofeng with a smile.
“The Goddess of Light is right. The Dark Army appears once again and we hold the advent ceremony and summon the Oracle to the Land of God to destroy it. So the Oracle has to shoulder great responsibility. Although she’s your pet now, she’s still charged with important tasks. Therefore, the Oracle must stay in the Bright Mountain.”
Xiaofeng opened his mouth and wanted to contradict him, but Bishop Kaiser interrupted him once again and continued to say, “Please hear me out.”
“Because you interfered with the advent ceremony, the Oracle is not mature now. She is not strong enough to destroy the Dark Army. So she has to stay in the Bright Mountain to restore her strength.”
This solution seemed to be more acceptable to Xiaofeng now. Xiaobai was strong enough for Xiaofeng and the ordinary players. But it was obvious that these high-level NPCs were not satisfied with her strength. After all, Xiaobai was his pet. If she could stay in Bright Mountain and improve her strength, she could better help Xiaofeng and improve his fighting capacity.
Xiaofeng touched his chain and was lost in thought.
“This is the biggest concession that the Temple of Light can make. We can admit that you are the master of the Oracle. But you must faithfully believe in the God of Light and support the bright forces after the Oracle becomes your pet. When the dark forces come back, you have to help us to attack them and make your contributions.” Bishop Kaiser continued to say. Although his tone was soft, he was threatening Xiaofeng.
They’ve passed this solution by voting and Xiaofeng’s objection was invalid. He was at level 12 and was just an insignificant player. If he insisted on his opinion, these bishops would take tough measures.
Xiaofeng clearly understood this point. Even Bolton, the captain of the knights in the Tianlong City branch, was a horrible BOSS and nearly reached the mythical level. These bishops standing in the Temple of Light must be of higher level and he was no match for them.
“Pet is the capable assistant to our adventurers and we can only have one pet. If I leave Xiaobai in the Bright Mountain, I’ll have no pet and this will greatly affect my fighting power!”
Xiaofeng touched his chin with one hand and touched the small head of Xiaobai with the other. He accepted this proposal but he wanted some compensation.
If he couldn’t take Xiaobai with him, he would lose a pet position. He was at a disadvantage because other players had pets while he didn’t.
But it was obvious that Xiaofeng was being unreasonable. Xiaobai’s passive skills could be shared and he could enjoy the skill effects even if she was far away from him. He couldn’t use her attacking capacity if she stayed in the Bright Mountain. But he didn’t suffer huge losses because the passive skills of Xiaobai were strong.
“Of course, we have also taken this into consideration. After all, according to the rules made by the Creator, the Oracle belongs to you and we shouldn’t keep her in the Bright Mountain. You’re the master of the Oracle. After deliberation and discussion, we decide to bestow the Honorary Archbishop of the Temple of Light on you!”
Xiaofeng was staring at Bishop Kaiser and waiting for his compensation. When Bishop Kaiser finished speaking, Xiaofeng asked with doubts, “That’s all?”
“Yes!”
Bishop Kaiser’s face became rigid. He stared at Xiaofeng with anger and was dissatisfied with his ungrateful attitude.
“You’re so greedy! The Archbishop of the Temple of Light is powerful! You can have privileges that you can’t imagine on the Land of God! You’re the master of the Oracle, otherwise, we’ll not give this title to an adventurer! There are less than ten people in our Temple of Light who have the Archbishop title!”
Bishop Renault couldn’t hold back his anger and he shouted at Xiaofeng.
“Well, I see.”
Xiaofeng sighed with resignation. The compensation was just an honorary title and it wouldn’t bring any substantial impact on him.
“You agree to leave the Oracle on the Bright Mountain and I confer on you the title of Light Archbishop as the compensation. You can’t take the Oracle away from the Bright Mountain without my permission.”
Goddess of Light said softly. She stepped forward and gently touched Xiaofeng’s chest with her white finger.
At the same time, the golden light formed a more gorgeous badge on his chest and covered the badge of the Bright Apostle.
“Hey! You’ve got the honorary badge: Archbishop of Light.”
Xiaofeng looked at its attributes. It was also the special equipment like the badge of the Bright Apostle. It didn’t have extra attributes but players could wear several different badges at the same time and choose to use the effects of one badge.
Honorary badge: Archbishop of Light.
Type: special equipment
Attributes: After wearing it, you’ll be treated as the Archbishop in the spheres of influence of all the bright forces. You can exercise the rights of the Archbishop in all the branches of the Temple of Light.
Particularity: After you wear it, the title of Archbishop will appear above your character name.
The attribute introduction was also similar to that of the Bright Apostle and Xiaofeng didn’t find any substantive privilege. This might just be an honorary title for players. He couldn’t mobilize the knights of the Bright Temple like the NPC bishops.
“Bring the Oracle back to the holy pool. She can restore the light power in that place. And remember, don’t summon her without my permission.”
Goddess of Light left after speaking and the group of cardinals also walked away.
“You bastard…” Bishop Renault hurried over to him and wanted to argue with Xiaofeng once again. But Bishop Kaiser interrupted him.
“Well, Bishop Renault, please pay attention to your attitude towards the Archbishop.”
Bishop Kaiser deliberately coughed to remind Renault but he smiled as if he had vented his anger.
After hearing what he said, Xiaofeng immediately showed the title of Archbishop on his head. He looked at Bishop Renault seriously as if inspecting the subordinate.
“…” Bishop Renault immediately became silent. He blushed and finally gave up after seeing the title on Xiaofeng’s head. Then he said, “Archbishop, please improve your level as soon as possible. The Oracle is your pet and her level will be restricted by you. It’s difficult for her to restore all the strength while the Dark Army is strong. The Temple of Light can’t even deal with their remaining forces. Without the help of God, people living in the Land of God will be in great misery like thousands of years ago.”
The consequences were serious and Xiaofeng had to promise him. But he would try his best to improve his level without being reminded by them.
Then he returned to the holy pool behind the central temple. Looking at Xiaobai, Xiaofeng was at a loss for what to do next.
