The target is a goddess!Sacred Path of the Scrap Succubus

"But now it's becoming more and more difficult for me to decide who to choose as my successor."

"Aurora is very good, and Serena is also very good, and they have been targeted by the king recently. I think that if I accept them as disciples, I can minimize the king's drive to them, but... ..."

But there is only one chief saint, and Ingrid's choice will directly determine the future ownership of this position.

It is unprecedented to accept two disciples at the same time.

As the real incarnation of the goddess in the world, the chief saint is unique.

Even if the church made an exception to appoint two, it would be impossible to get two powers—they were all agreed with the goddess at the beginning, and there was absolutely no hope of increasing them.

From the heart, Ingrid still prefers Aurora.

In her opinion, Aurora is upright and brave, firm and pure, the kind of child who can bring hope to others.

On the contrary, Serena was too complicated for her to understand.

She reviewed the situation that Serena faced time and time again, and the results of each review could not satisfy her.

Even the title of Unsullied can hardly explain Serena's series of actions.

In other words, it was precisely because Serena was an innocent person that the feats she accomplished after that became even more unreasonable.

Ingrid even wondered if Serena had some way to deceive the perception of divine arts.

If it wasn't for her lack of evidence, she really wanted to lock Serena into a confinement room and question her thoroughly.

But Serena's achievements are too dazzling.

Whether it was in the southern border, Foss County, or the northern wilderness, Serena could be called upside down, supporting the situation with her own strength.

Not rewarding meritorious service is not the normal way of doing things.

Serena, who has continuously made great achievements and greatly enhanced the prestige of the church, if she can't become the chief saint, it will definitely arouse widespread suspicion inside and outside the church.

【{&

Even if Ercle III has effectively suppressed the internal opposition in the past year, he may not be able to withstand this level of questioning.

As for Ingrid's mentality, Elcle III felt that it was unnecessary.

"Ingrid, you just think too much. This kind of thing is not necessary [%

The Pope smiled in relief, and stroked the silver hair on Ingrid's forehead.

"I am the Pope. I will take care of all these things. Don't worry, I will be there for everything."

"But this time!"

Ingrid dodged the Pope's hand with some annoyance, raised her head stubbornly, and looked straight into his eyes.

"It's different this time. My decision is related to the future of the church. For at least 20 years in the future, whether the church will skyrocket or struggle is all in this decision. I can't..."

"Well, you can't, but there's still me."

The Pope looked at Ingrid with a little loss, and then expressed his thoughts.

"Have you ever thought that I can actually accept disciples?"

"what?"

Ingrid was taken aback and looked at the Pope again.

"what do you mean……"

"That's right, we can each take one person as a disciple, so that we can avoid the immediate problem."

The Pope smiled smugly, even showing a childish look.

Ingrid glanced at the Pope in a daze, and suddenly fell into memory.

After a few seconds, she returned to reality again and asked another question.

"So, what do you mean, this time not only the successor of the chief saint must be determined, but also the successor of the pope?"

"But in the past 200 years, the church has never had a female pope. If the two most important positions, the pope and the chief saint, are both women, others will..."

"so what?"

The pope asked back with a little arrogance.

"Our god is still a goddess. If they want to question their gender, shouldn't they first ask why the goddess is a woman?"

"Besides, there are precedents for this kind of thing after all, and it does not violate the agreement with the goddess in the original scriptures. That is to say, the goddess has never objected to this kind of thing happening."

"Since we are the Church of St. Gillian, the meaning of the goddess is the ultimate rule. As long as the goddess has nothing to deny, we can all try, right?"

Ingrid's breathing became heavy.

If this decision becomes a reality, it will be regarded as groundbreaking.

But if you think about it carefully, this solution is really not a bad idea.

Everyone is the dependent of the goddess. Since the goddess has never objected, there is indeed a possibility of manipulation.

Moreover, with this operation, the two rare talents, Aurora and Serena, can both get suitable positions, and they will not develop into a situation where they fight against each other.

That's right, the two have a very good relationship now, and Aurora even took the risk to rescue Serena.

But Ingrid has seen too many childhood friends turn against each other.

Human nature is like this, in the face of more and more realistic interests, pure and beautiful friendship, love, family affection, everything will be smashed to pieces sooner or later...

She really couldn't bear to see these lovely children turn into sworn enemies who hated each other.

However, she soon had new questions.

"Then who will be my disciple and who will be yours?"

The pope smiled and gave the answer.

"Is that so?"

After listening to Ingrid, she nodded and let out a sigh of relief.

That's okay, with such a distribution, she can also devote all her energy to teaching her disciples.

…………

At this time, the convoy of Serena and others was slowly entering the gate of the royal capital.

"Finally back!"

Looking at the familiar scenery, Serena showed a relaxed smile.

In any case, her journey turned out to be a happy one.

Not to mention the successful completion of the task, and abduction of a dragon lady, the days to come will be more and more hopeful.

"I don't know what is waiting for me in front of me?"

Chapter 1 Huh, is that me?

Serena sat on the bench with some trepidation, waiting for Ingrid to read out the assessment results.

Beside her, the other five apprentice saintesses, including Aurora and Margaret, were also full of anxiety, looking in the direction of the small door helplessly.

This is an important moment that determines everyone's fate.

It will be clear in the next few minutes whether it will soar into the sky or become a mortal world.

Serena certainly wasn't expecting to be chosen as Ingrid's apprentice.

She just hoped that Aurora would be elected smoothly this time—or if she couldn't, Margaret would be fine too.

With Margaret already having substantial progress, Serena is also happy to see Margaret become the chief saint.

In a sense, Margaret is in better control.

However, Serena also knew that everyone's performance during this period was actually very different.

To say that the most conspicuous achievement must be her own.

But according to Serena's analysis, the Church would probably fear the relationship between her and Tempus.

Anyway, Serena also has the status of a nobleman now, and she is still a nobleman directly under the king.

Anyway, Serena felt that this alone should put her out of the position of chief saintess.

If you think about it differently, she can't tolerate someone who might be a second or fifth boy occupying a key position.

Besides her, Aurora is the brightest new star.

After shining brightly in the navy, Aurora successfully harvested the reputation of a group of judges by exposing the fraud.

During a series of hunting operations, she also met many sheriffs and chief executives, and established a deep network of contacts.

Although this also created many enemies for her, Serena felt that Aurora's current position happened to be the most suitable to be the chief saint.

Straightforward, group and not party, as the de facto supreme force of the church, shouldn't the chief saint be in this state?

As for Margaret, she was really nothing compared to the two of them.

But the excavation of the ruins and the successful diplomatic mediation from Serena's side are enough for anyone to become the chief saint under normal circumstances.

If the church's senior management has concerns about the consequences of Aurora's actions, Margaret is indeed a good substitute.

Moreover, choosing Margaret can also open the door for the local development of the church—after all, Margaret was born in a local nobleman, and she can easily move outside the capital with the connections of the Granster family alone. up.

As for the remaining three...

Serena glanced at the three from the corner of her eye, only sneering in her heart.

The strongest among them is just not going to fail.

If you want to help such a guy become the chief saint, the price is too outrageous.

Serena looked at Aurora again, seeing that her hands were trembling slightly, she couldn't help but said:

"Take it easy Aurora, you're the best, aren't you?"

"what are you saying?"

Aurora replied in a mosquito-like voice.

"Are you laughing at me? I can't achieve your achievements... This time, it's probably you."

That's what she said, but Serena could tell from the bulging veins in Aurora's hands that she didn't intend to admit defeat at all.

She wanted to say something, but her hand was suddenly grabbed.

Looking again, it was Margaret who was gesturing with her eyes while grabbing her hand.

Serena followed Margaret's gaze, immediately withdrew her hand, and sat up straight.

Well, Saintess Ingrid has already walked out of the door at this moment, looking towards them.

Seeing that all the saintesses had calmed down, she nodded slightly and stood in her place.

"In the past year, you have all gone through various tests and handed in your own answers."

"Let me read out your results first. This report card comes from the feedback from the heads of various fields you have come into contact with this year."

As expected by Serena, her own grades were straight A;

Also within her expectation, Margaret's grades were also perfect;

As for Aurora's achievements, they can only be described as mixed—although this is not uncommon.

After all, she has offended many people, including some bishops of the church.

Even so, Aurora's performance can still be ranked third, which shows how muddy the other three are.

At the same time, Serena also made sure of one thing: this assessment result was unexpected [%

"The results have been announced, and everyone should have a good idea of ​​the gold content of this result."

"In short, this result is an important reference."

"Based on this result, combined with other observations and feedback, I have drawn my own conclusions."

The breathing of the six saintesses stopped immediately.

Everyone pricked up their ears, not daring to miss a word.
