Chapter 19 Three Gifts

"Francis, although you are a clever child, I don't want to talk to you in the language of politicians. Let me put it this way..."

Ferdinand gestured for Du Chen to sit beside him, looking at him like a caring elder would look at their child. "You are a descendant of a Legendary fighter god, and you share a bond with the Holy Church. Therefore, the fighter god behind you is also a friend of the Holy Church. So, I forgive him for everything and will keep his secrets from everyone!"

Du Chen's nervous heart finally settled. Ferdinand was being honest; he had a powerful fighter god behind him who could assassinate high-ranking officials of the empire. This meant that he had great value to the Holy Church, and they would spare no effort in helping him!

"Father, I understand what you mean. Although I have never met that fighter god, once I do, I will convey the goodwill of the Holy Church!" Du Chen replied.

"You are truly a clever child!" Ferdinand stood up and walked towards the door, smiling. "Tomorrow, the Holy Church will inform King Balgna of Lanning, concluding the case of the Finance Minister's gruesome death. No one will associate it with you! As for the masked fighter god who stole the Kaman relic, hehe, I believe he is likely your friend, so no one will know about this matter either!"

Well, in the early morning of the next day, the murder case of Du Chen by Frith, under the operation of the Holy Church, would be as if it never happened.

Anyway, the entire Frith's family was dead, so it didn't matter what the Holy Church said.

This was Ferdinand's first gift!

"Thank you, Father!" Du Chen escorted Ferdinand out of the door. When they reached the entrance of the tower, he asked, "Does my father know about my guardian fighter god?"

"If he knew, would he dare to let you live in such a place? This matter can only be seen in the most confidential archives of the Holy Church by successive Fathers."

Ferdinand gently stroked Du Chen's forehead, smiling kindly. "Kind child, you are still young and don't understand the power of the Holy Church. If the Holy Church doesn't want people to know something, then no one can know!"

Du Chen understood perfectly well. This was a theocratic world similar to medieval Europe in his previous life. Just think about the power of the Holy Church in the 'dark' age of his previous life, where fanatical Jesus followers could put kings on the stake, and he could understand the power of the Holy Church in the world of fighter gods

Du Chen moved to open the door, but Ferdinand waved his hand, indicating that he still had something to say.

"The virtue of St. John's City. Although Frith is dead, his sins cannot be erased. I will keep an eye on his redemption money for you. Just be patient for a few days!"

This is the second meeting gift.

Ferdinand pushed open the door. He felt that he had already given Du Chen enough gifts for now. Once the forensic experts determined the strength of the mysterious fighter god, he would adjust Du Chen's gifts accordingly.

Outside, the Anges family was still waiting.

"Respected Father, is the death of the Finance Minister's family related to Francis?" Anges asked.

"Vice Chancellor, you are thinking too much!"

Ferdinand smiled mysteriously and noticed the cold gaze that Anges gave Du Chen. He was intrigued.

The fighter god who killed Frith in St. John's Cathedral could also kill him. It wouldn't hurt to give some extra benefits to someone who could threaten his life!

With this in mind, Ferdinand gestured for Du Chen to stand in front of him and placed his hand on Du Chen's forehead. "I, Ferdinand, bless Francis once again. Saint, Sigru, Kein!"

This was the third meeting gift.

Anges was stunned, and Charlie beside him had a fiery look in his eyes, full of envy. Steve, on the other hand, looked at Du Chen and the Father with a mix of surprise and joy.

"Ferdinand," he said, "I have blessed Francis twice already and personally baptized him. In the future, you must treat this child well! Besides, please allow me to have some small secrets with this kind child!" After saying this, he walked away without giving Anges any explanation.

This was the status of the fighter God Holy Church. Its Father did not need to explain anything to the Vice Chancellor of the Empire!

Du Chen understood. Ferdinand's blessings definitely came with some benefits. He did this to win over the guardian fighter god behind him, but he wouldn't accept them for nothing!

"Why him!?"

After Ferdinand left, Charlie shouted in frustration, "Why does the Saint Kain family, the shame of the Cain family, receive Father's blessings twice!? Ancestors above, I..."

"Charlie, shut up!" Angus gave Du Chen a strange look and said, "Francis, I don't know what you said to the Father, but since you have his blessings, Steve, you are responsible for finding him a new place to stay. From now on, his monthly allowance will be the same as yours, one gold coin!"

After speaking, Angus walked away in annoyance.

Charlie glared at Du Chen with resentment and also left.

Du Chen coldly looked back at Charlie, but he was puzzled. Could two blessings really bring such great benefits? At that moment, Steve suddenly hugged him and wailed, "Oh, my dear little brother, your big brother, poor Steve is so envious!"

"Big brother, please behave yourself. Your little brother is not interested in men!" Du Chen joked, pushing Steve away and laughing. "Tell me, what are the benefits of the Father's blessings?"

"Oh, ancestor Sigru, little brother, you don't know?" Steve rolled his eyes and said, "There are many, many benefits. Let's start with the two most direct ones. First, it can be used to absolve sins. Second, it can earn you extra points in the exams at the Fighter God School established by the Holy Church!"

"Two blessings are worth twenty points. If I had those twenty points, I wouldn't have failed the exams twice!" Steve suddenly sighed and lowered his head, looking quite dejected. "Perhaps, I should have been admitted to the Fighter God School this year. Otherwise, the spirits of our ancestors won't forgive me!"

Du Chen hadn't fully integrated into life on the Eynes continent and didn't understand Steve's disappointment. He comforted him, saying, "Big brother, it's just an exam. You are the eldest son of our father, the Duke's heir. What does it matter if you can't get into some mediocre school?"

"Mediocre school?!" Steve grabbed Du Chen's collar and shouted, "Dear little brother, do you know? The 'mediocre' school you mentioned is known as the 'cradle of fighter gods' and the 'path to success.' Let me tell you, on the day of the God's Peace Festival, the day when the students of the Fighter God School graduate, hundreds of countries and thousands of families from the three continents will flock to the gates of the Fighter God School just to hire a graduate!"

Du Chen shook his head in confusion. It seemed like he wasn't listening to a school on the Eynes continent, but rather a world-class prestigious university from his past life.

Steve patted Du Chen's shoulder again and said, "Dear little brother, do you know who was the top graduate of the Fighter God School last year? He was just an ordinary fighter before entering school, but do you know what position he was recruited for?"

"The deputy commander of the Third Legion of the McLaren Empire, a MarquisScof the first rank!! And he also married the most beautiful princess of the McLaren Empire!"

Du Chen smiled indifferently. As the Fighter God School implied, only fighter gods could enter. As someone who couldn't sense natural energy, he didn't stand a chance. It was better for him to focus on cultivating the "Lotus Treasure Mirror."

Thinking of the " Treasure Mirror," Du Chen suddenly remembered that he hadn't done any good deeds for several days. His hands were itching uncomfortably!
