Chapter 140 - Rewards (3)
( Church of life , inner district , PurpleHaze city )
Rudra was inside the prayer hall of the church of life talking to Cardinal Lee about the specofics of the battle.
" Soo at the end i destroyed the teleportation array from the inside soo that the paladin could not chase the son of archangel sariel , however i got killed by his spells as i am but weak ". Rudra said pitifully .
He had learnt the subtle art of humblebragging and he made sure to make his story sound extremely tragic to Cardinal Lee.
Cardinal Lee was moved to tears learning of his sufferings as he showered praise after praise to Rudra.
He then said " I had a talk with the archbishop , he told me to award you as i deem fit for meritorious service towards the church , donot worry , the church shall not do you wrong ".
System notification : Your t.i.tle Emmisary of the Church has been upgraded to Honorary Bishop of the Church !
Rudra called up his stats pannel.

[ Honorary Bishop of the church of life ] ( t.i.tle) : You shall have unrestricted access to the Church of life"s most resources such as holy water and infamy reduction
You yourself will not gain any more infamy upon killing enemies as anyond you kill shall be considered an enemy of the Church
Any opponent attacking you will have no way of reducing infamy inside Hazelgroove kingdom.
Unless acquitted of " Treason " , the local administration cannot capture or detain you.
It was a very very important t.i.tle , and its benefits were obvious! ,Rudra had a big smile on his face . However he was not satisfied yet .... The pain he went through in the quest needed him to get more!!!
He smiled at Cardinal Lee " I am honored that you found this lowly adventurer worthy of such a t.i.tle ". Rudra had fake tears in his eyes
As Cardinal Lee"s heart moved again .... He felt like Rudra was the purest soul around , reliable and a genuine devotee of the G.o.dess. He was convinced in his choice of granting the t.i.tle.
Next Cardinal Lee said " You may choose one of the three rewards next.
1) you may use this opportunity to get any one item from the church"s warehouse
2) you may use this opportunity to ask for the blessing of the pope once .
3) you may use this opportunity to exchange for one tear of life.
Rudra thought his ears were ringing ... Did the Cardinal just say the tear of life?
The tear of life was the Church of life"s most treasured posession , only given to the most elite paladins after years of service.
Upon consuming it permanently gave a +50 bonus to all stats ( Excluding hidden stats), drinking it was akin to gaining ten levels at once.
Rudra never expected such a treasure to be offered.
The second option was intriguing too , he could meet the pope to gain his blessing. The pope was an extremely powerful existance at the peak of the power chain at tier 5 peak and some rumors saying at tier 6 , any blessing from him could be worth a big deal.
Rudra had been to the Church warehouse twice now , hence he knew that there were great treasures inside , it was sure to be good .
He had a big dilemma here to choose option one , option two , or option three.

( Meanwhile the alliance meeting )
" Leaders , the backer who invested the large amounts of funds has sent a representative to state some demands at this meeting, please welcome Mr Nakul ". Introduced Ilovesmas.h.i.+ng
Nakul looked around the room in a cold gaze , as he sized the seven guild leaders sitting around him , then he scoffed and shook his head. Then he said " Look , we all know your guilds are just trash compared to the True Elites , and it will be trash untill that guild exists in the kingdom , your current objective should be aimed at crus.h.i.+ng the Elites ".
Viens popped on the guild leaders foreheads upon hearing the rude man , ofcourse they knew that compared to the elites they were inferior , however noone wanted that fact being shoved down their throats.
With great self control and restraint PinkLotus said " How would you suggest we do that ? ".
Nakul said " we have given soo much money to you beggars , use it to hire more beggars , every G.o.dd.a.m.n third rate and adventurer group you can afford , buy them all and put them under contract , increase your numbers by a large margin. The Elites ident.i.ty is their exclusivity , however against 100,000 soldiers even the strongest 1000 shall fall".
Yua wanted to bang the table hard , but she restrained herself barely .... The guy treated had the gall to call her beggar?
She ? The daughter heir of Nakatomi Corporation? The leader of the First Rate Guild AzureLotus?
She looked around to see that the other guild leaders were also barely swallowing their pride , if not for the truly immense funds poured , they would have slapped that dog to death !
" There are only 9 days left in the Elites war cooldown meter left ..... Its time to nip that problem in the bud!". Nakul said as he left the room.
Noone wanted to meet each others eyes at this point, as there was no point in discussing , they had to do as instructed , fortunately or unfortunately , they had became slaves of the Ambani corporation after they accepted the ma.s.sive investments.
They could only prepare for the upcoming war and do their best to win now.
