Chapter 410: Let the Gods Descend
Li Meng wrapped his left arm around Tabesa's waist and pointed at the angel statue with his right hand.
"Tabesa, from now on, I am your god, not a mere statue!"
Li Meng initially wanted to destroy the angel statue in one blow to show off in front of Tabesa.
But after thinking about it, he restrained himself.
After all, this was the Holy See's stronghold, the Papal Cathedral.
If he caused too big a commotion, it would be difficult for Tabesa to explain.
Tabesa glanced at the angel statue.
Then she turned back to look at her master's handsome face.
Her eyes were filled with struggle and confusion.
As the High Priest, she had been indoctrinated with the faith in angels since childhood.
Giving up the faith she had held onto her whole life was no easy task.
Even though she had once doubted the purity of the Holy See,
In the face of faith, the private morals of the clergy were insignificant.
She couldn't deny her faith just because of the ugliness within human hearts.
After all, she herself had fallen and compromised before.
To gain power and status, she had become the mistress of a married man.
"Hoo!"
Tabesa took a deep breath.
She pushed aside the messy thoughts in her mind.
Her faith was no longer pure.
Her soul had already been tainted by her master.
She had fallen, with no way back.
"Master, why have you come?"
Tabesa smiled at her master's handsome face.
Compared to the weird master from before, she liked the current master more.
Because now, he was truly handsome.
Also, this was the Prayer Hall. How did her master get in?
The only entrance to the Prayer Hall was behind her, not far away.
But that door had remained shut the whole time.
Li Meng grinned, smiling meaningfully at Tabesa's beautiful face.
"Because someone was thinking about me, so I came."
Hearing this, Tabesa shyly lowered her head.
Before her master appeared, she indeed had been thinking about him.
Could it be that her master's appearance was really because of her yearning?
Li Meng lifted his right hand and pinched Tabesa's chin.
Making her lift her face to look at him.
"Tabesa, I want you to do something for me!"
Facing her master's gaze, Tabesa was extremely shy.
She could feel her heart racing.
She desperately wanted her master to tightly embrace her.
"Ma...Master, wh...what do you want me to do?"
Li Meng leaned down and kissed Tabesa's lips lightly.
"Tabesa, Menia City is a good place. Let the gods descend!"
Menia City?
This name reminded Tabesa of something.
The vanguard of the Crusade Army was gathering toward the capital of the Kingdom of Armenia.
And the capital of the Kingdom of Armenia was "Menia City."
What exactly was her master planning?
"Master, I don't understand!"
Li Meng smiled slightly, stood up while holding Tabesa's waist.
Then turned Tabesa around.
Making her face the huge angel statue.
"Tabesa, I believe you will understand."
Tabesa lifted her head to look at the angel statue before her.
Summoning an angel was only one method.
But the price for this method was far too great.
Only when humanity faced an existential crisis would they conduct the Divine Descent Ritual.
"Master, I am just the High Priest, I..."
Tabesa's voice suddenly stopped.
She turned around, scanning the hall with a confused expression.
Just a moment ago, her master had been behind her.
How did he disappear in the blink of an eye?
The door was still tightly closed, showing no sign of opening.
"Could it have all been a dream?"
Tabesa reached out and touched her belly.
No, it wasn't a dream. Absolutely not.
That feeling was so clear, it couldn't have been a dream.
"Divine Descent, huh..."
Tabesa turned back to look at the angel statue.
Her expression shifted several times.
After a long while, a sigh echoed through the Prayer Hall.
Tabesa turned and left expressionlessly.
------
Irisis Principality.
Garrison Fort, former Count's Mansion.
That night, under the blood moon and full moon.
"Has His Majesty gone in?"
In the corridor on the upper floor of the mansion,
A maid stopped in front of a room door.
She asked another maid waiting outside.
All the maids wore light green, tight-waisted, low-cut long dresses.
The maid asking had a slightly darker dress.
Each queen had her own maids, usually 3 to 5.
They served as maids and also as concubines.
Each queen had a head maid to serve them,
Responsible for managing the other maids and the queen's daily life.
"You can go rest. I'll stay here."
The maids exchanged glances.
"Yes."
The two women left reluctantly.
The head maid stood at the door, quietly listening to the sounds from inside.
There was a lot of noise; she heard the queen's voice.
It sounded like crying, but also like joyful moaning.
Listening made the head maid's body go weak, her face blushing.
If His Majesty summoned her inside, she too could become a queen.
At this moment, on the large bed in the room,
Li Meng was pressing down on a human woman.
The woman appeared about thirty years old.
Her skin was very fair, and her figure was excellent.
The curves of her waist and legs were particularly graceful.
Her face was flushed, her eyes seductive.
Her hands tightly gripped the blanket.
Her snow-white body was covered in sweat.
At times she parted her lips slightly, at times she bit them tightly.
[That woman probably won't work. Even though she holds the title of High Priest, she can't influence the decision-making level of the Holy See.]
Xiao Bai's voice suddenly sounded in Li Meng's mind,
Startling him so much that he rolled his eyes.
"Xiao Bai, I'm busy here. Are you doing this on purpose?"
[I don't understand what you mean, Master.]
Li Meng lowered his head to look at the flushed face of the queen beneath him.
This woman was truly beautiful, exuding a noble aura.
Either she was a noblewoman's wife from a merchant family,
Or a wife of a noble of glory,
Or perhaps a naturally charming adventurer.
As for her name, Li Meng didn't know.
He had too many queens.
Therefore, he used numbers instead of names for his queens.
Whether queens or concubines, they all wore badges on their shoulders.
Queens had golden badges, concubines had white ones.
The badge on the woman beneath him had the number 66.
"As long as her opinion can reach the decision-makers, it's enough. This time, the demon race's invasion of the Southern Continent is no small matter. Humanity alone can hardly resist. Without me, the demons would likely take what they wanted and leave, avoiding a full war with humans. But I changed the demon's strategic goal. Therefore, the situation humanity faces will become even graver. Sacrificing the strong to summon angels is humanity's only chance to defeat the demons!"
This demon invasion was no small skirmish.
Humanity would realize it soon enough.
By then, some things would be out of their control.
"Your Majesty!"
The queen beneath him suddenly cried out in passion.
Her face flushed deep red, her eyes hazy.
Her hands wrapped tightly around Li Meng's neck.
Li Meng grinned, lowered his head, and kissed her lips.
