Skyward City Judicator, there are a total of three major enforcement teams.
They are the Church Knights, Church Inquisitors, and Church Mages.
Each team has 10 official squads, making a total of 30 squads and 120 people.
Currently, nearly half of them are present here.
They all stand in neat formations, disciplined and orderly.
Except for Jiang Chen, who sat down on a chair at the table, exchanging glances with Gway.
"Why does he get to sit?"
"No sense of decorum at all!"
"Completely lacking in virtue, why would someone like him join the Church?"
...
The members of the Judicator were all indignant, voicing their complaints one after another.
"Enough, everyone shut up! What kind of behavior is this, shouting like that!"
Gway glared around at everyone, and the room immediately fell silent.
Then, he turned to Jiang Chen and asked, "Holy Envoy of the Mortal World, are you really signing up alone?"
"Of course!"
Jiang Chen replied with a serious expression.
"Alright then, I'll register you."
Seeing Jiang Chen's determined attitude, Gway nodded.
Although he had learned from Gandalf and Bai Dingyang that this Holy Envoy had a special status, participating in the arena alone seemed a bit frivolous, almost like a joke.
However, since the other party insisted on participating, wanting to have some fun, he could only register his name.
[You have received a special task: Participate in the Skyward City Judicator arena competition. The team that wins first place will receive four blessings!]
"Thank you, Master Gway!"
Receiving the prompt, Jiang Chen's face broke into a smile.
"Holy Envoy of the Mortal World, let me briefly explain. The competition is tomorrow at 8 AM. Fourteen teams have signed up, and with you, that makes fifteen."
"The competition rules are team battles, with opponents chosen by drawing lots. Winners advance to the next round, and losers are eliminated."
"The final winning team will receive four blessings."

Gway explained slowly.
"So if I win, I also get four blessings?" Jiang Chen asked.
"…"
Gway was momentarily stunned. This Holy Envoy sure had ambition!
However, he replied seriously, "Yes, if you win, you also get four blessings."
"But I'm just one person, what about the extra blessings…"
Jiang Chen was slightly puzzled.
If he remembered correctly, each person could only receive the blessing once, so what would he do with the extra blessings?
"Well…"
Seeing Jiang Chen seriously contemplating the allocation of blessings, Gway was amused and exasperated. Did he really think he could get first place?
He thought for a moment and replied, "If you really get first place, you can allocate the extra blessings to anyone you want, as long as they are part of the Light Church."
"Alright, I understand."
Jiang Chen nodded and smiled, "Tomorrow at 8 AM, I'll be there for the competition. I'm determined to get those blessings!"
With that, he got up and left.
Dozens of eyes watched him leave, though most of them were filled with anger.
Some even clenched their fists involuntarily.
Jiang Chen naturally didn't care. He quickly left the Judicator and headed to the church's front hall.
"I still need to talk to Bai Dingyang."
Jiang Chen thought for a moment and then walked inside the church.
Soon, he passed through the central altar and arrived at the main hall of the church.
Inside, there were also very few people, as if everyone had gone to rest.
However, in front of the statue of the God of Light, there stood an old man in a black robe, holding a scripture.
"A church priest?"
A priest's status in the church was second only to a bishop, but they held no real power, only a title.
Even the stewards below them managed more than they did.
Of course, every priest was still highly respected by the church members.
Jiang Chen saw that this person's information showed his name as: [Bjor]
"Priest Bjor."
Jiang Chen immediately walked over.
"And who might you be?"
Bjor was slightly puzzled.
It was his first time seeing Jiang Chen.
He hadn't seen him during the daily prayers either.
"I am the Mortal World."
"You are the Holy Envoy of the Mortal World?"
Bjor seemed to have heard of this name and asked, "What brings the Holy Envoy to me?"
"Priest Bjor, do you know where Bishop Bai Dingyang is?" Jiang Chen inquired.
"At this time, the bishop should be in the residential area at the back." The priest replied.
"Thank you for the information!"
With that, Jiang Chen walked through the main hall to the church's back courtyard.
Further in was the rear garden.
And to the left was the residential area of the church.
Jiang Chen quickly turned left.
Soon, a series of dormitory buildings came into view.
Among them were also several standalone houses.
Jiang Chen had never been to Bai Dingyang's residence, but he knew that the largest house must be the bishop's.
Having found his target, Jiang Chen quickly moved forward.
Soon, he arrived in front of a three-story building surrounded by a wooden fence.
There was a lawn and a garden in front of the house.
A middle-aged man was sitting at a stone table in the garden, holding a cup and drinking fruit tea.
Beside him were four young women in white gauze dresses, attending to him.
Two of them were pouring tea for him, while the other two were massaging his shoulders.
His hands occasionally wandered over the young women, his expression one of utter contentment.
This man was Bai Dingyang.
"This guy really knows how to enjoy life…"
Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed as he quickly walked to the fence gate and called out with a smile, "Bishop Bai!"
"Hmm?"
Bai Dingyang was startled and looked towards the voice.
Seeing Jiang Chen, he immediately came over cheerfully, "Holy Envoy of the Mortal World, what brings you to my humble abode?"
Humble abode?
Looking at the three-story building before him, Jiang Chen pursed his lips.
They gave me a small flat, and he lives in a three-story building, calling it a humble abode?
However, he held back his urge to complain and smiled, "Naturally, I've come to see Bishop Bai for something."
"Come in and talk."
Bai Dingyang immediately invited Jiang Chen into the garden.
Soon, Jiang Chen took a seat.
The young woman in the gauze dress beside him also served him a cup of tea.
"Let's get straight to the point."
Jiang Chen said directly, "I want Eilili to study theology and practice magic!"
"Eilili?"
Bai Dingyang was momentarily confused.
"My maid," Jiang Chen replied.
"Oh, I almost forgot."
Bai Dingyang nodded, then asked with some confusion, "Holy Envoy of the Mortal World, why would you want a maid to learn these things?"
"Because I want to groom her into a high-ranking member of the church, to be my insider!"
Jiang Chen thought to himself, but what he said was, "Why not? My maid should be worthy of me, shouldn't she?"
"So, the Holy Envoy of the Mortal World likes women with status?"
Bai Dingyang had an expression of understanding, his face beaming with a smile.
"This guy…"
Seeing his expression, Jiang Chen was speechless, but he still smiled and said, "As long as Bishop Bai understands, so…"
"Studying theology is not a problem, and I can even make it easier for her in the theology exams, but as for magic…"
Bai Dingyang paused, then continued, "Without a magic talent, it's very difficult to practice magic!"
"Let's try first. If she really doesn't have the talent, we'll talk then," Jiang Chen said directly.
"In that case, I have a magic-testing crystal here. You can have your maid come over to test it."
As he spoke, Bai Dingyang took out a transparent crystal ball the size of a fist.
It emitted a soft glow.
"A magic-testing crystal?"
