Doctor of Science's Journey into Another World

Chapter 457: Rude Temporary Person in Charge

There were less than two days left before everyone was to enroll in the Ornolan Advanced School. Bai Hao had wanted to stay in the Mage Tower to explore the other values ​​of the Divine Power Bank, and finally use a small hammer to beat it into the final product.

However, the steward of the manor and the accompanying Priest of the Bright Moon Guard both suggested that Bai Hao should perform a routine prayer before leaving Campbell County, in the Church of the Bright Moon Goddess located in the inner city of Campbell County, just as Bai Hao did before he set out south for study half a year ago.

After all, this trip to Orleans to go to school will take longer, and according to the customs of the Central Plains, humans must pray to the god of faith before leaving home to ensure that everything goes smoothly on the journey.

Bai Hao didn't think there was much need for it. Instead of going to the Church of the Goddess of the Bright Moon to pray, it would be better to worship himself right where he is. This is not only convenient and efficient but also legitimate. Is there any place closer to the gods than Bai Hao?

Despite this, Bai Hao finally decided to follow the advice and visit the local Church of the Bright Moon Goddess. To be honest, he missed it after being away for so long. In the past ten years, the Campbell family, as devout believers of the Bright Moon Goddess, had gone to church almost every week to worship.

After changing into a luxurious dress, Bai Hao took everyone on the journey on a carriage to the Bright Moon Cathedral in Campbell County. The last time he was with Elsa, his mother should still be leading troops to fight on the battlefields of the distant Central Plains countries.

By the way, this time coincides with the annual church meeting of the Bright Moon Goddess sect. Archbishop Odom of the local church should have been attending the meeting in the Suville Royal City, and 90% of the senior leaders of the Bright Moon Goddess churches across the Central Plains should have also gone.

With this thought in mind, Bai Hao in the carriage became somewhat curious about the Bright Moon Priest who would receive him later. After all, the lineup of his group was quite magnificent. Bai Hao himself was recognized as the future Holy Son of the Bright Moon Goddess Sect, and his entourage even included three Patriarchs of the Bright Moon Goddess Sect, all of whom were powerful elementalists!

Originally, the most suitable person to receive Bai Hao and his party must be Archbishop Odom. According to etiquette, he should even take the initiative to come to Campbell Manor in advance and accompany Bai Hao to the church to receive them with the highest standards of the Moon Goddess sect's etiquette.

But now, Bai Hao and his party were even ready to arrive at the Bright Moon Goddess Church, but through the car window, Bai Hao did not see any high-level Bright Moon priests coming out to greet them. Although Bai Hao and the priests were not pedantic people who adhered to etiquette, as the saying goes:

I can't not want it, but you can't not give it.

In the past, every time the Campbell family's carriage drove into the intersection of Church Street, the smooth guy Odom would have been standing on the street waiting in his wrinkle-free priest robe, perfectly interpreting the way of dealing with people of the old Central Plains nobles.

Therefore, whenever some gifted light elemental mages appeared in Campbell County, they would be immediately recruited by Odom to join the sect. Aisha wanted to add a powerful light elemental healer to the Campbell barracks, but it was unsuccessful as she was always snatched away by Odom.

The previous missionary Qi Xuan was the best example. He was originally a Campbell soldier, but was forced to convert to the church by Odom. Even when Elsa went to the church to ask for people in person, it was of no avail. Odom always had various ways to deal with it calmly.

Bai Hao had no doubt that if he was not the young master of Campbell County, he would have been pulled into the Moon Goddess Sect by Odom by now. Although he was an archbishop of noble status, Odom's missionary skills were definitely the best in the entire sect.

At this moment, several priests around Bai Hao had begun to show displeasure on their faces. It was obvious that the etiquette of the local Bright Moon Goddess sect made them uncomfortable.

"I've heard that Archbishop Odom is well-known for his respect for etiquette. He has served as the etiquette instructor for two consecutive saints. How come the priests in the diocese under his jurisdiction are so ignorant of etiquette?"

"I came to Campbell Territory to perform official duties several years ago. Archbishop Odom even brought a dozen high-ranking priests to greet me at the outskirts of Campbell Territory. Afterwards, they held a grand banquet and provided me with meticulous assistance. They were truly courteous and considerate!"

"Archbishop Odom is indeed a qualified priest, but he took most of the local high-ranking priests to the Kingdom of Suville to attend the meeting a few weeks ago. I'm afraid that the temporary bishop of Campbell is inexperienced and not good at etiquette..."

Bai Hao could only agree helplessly after hearing this. Although the priests said that they did not like the strict etiquette, they could not help but complain when they were actually treated so rudely. After all, their status was there, and they were respected by local believers wherever they went.

When the carriage of Bai Hao and his party stopped steadily in front of the Church of the Bright Moon Goddess, there was still no priest coming out to greet them. Only a few low-level female church members who were sweeping the floor in front of the door exclaimed in surprise at the large number of carriages. They looked quite flustered, as if they had no idea that Bai Hao and his party would come today.

This was the first time in all of Bai Hao's life that he had seen such a situation in the Church of the Goddess of the Bright Moon in his own Campbell Territory. It did not look like a high-end church with a resident archbishop, but rather like a small church in a remote village.

A stern-faced priest couldn't stand it any longer, so he quickly went to the door and said to the several female church members who were still shouting, "I'm Owenelite, the Minister of Discipline of the Central Cathedral and the Patrolling Priest of the Moon Goddess Sect. Where is the highest person in charge of the local church? Have him come to see me immediately!"

"Yes, yes!" A cute blonde girl trembled and gave a standard Bright Moon greeting. Apparently, she was frightened by Owenilite's identity. She could only stammer, "The person in charge is Priest Qi, Qi, Qi Xuan. He is currently in seclusion in the church basement, trying to comprehend the magic of salvation!"

Another tall blue-haired girl quickly added, "The missionary never allows anyone to disturb him when he is in seclusion. We even have to tiptoe when delivering food to him. Last time, Xiao Tao accidentally fell and he scolded her for a long time!"

"Yes," a short red-haired girl said with a sad face, "The missionary is so fierce, we are afraid to send him food..."

Ovnet took a deep breath after hearing this, and then said calmly: "Lead the way, I want to see how fierce this Qi Xuan is!"
