Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

Chapter 237 No, This is an Ancestral Potion

The old Pope was not surprised by Lilith's inappropriate expression, because his expression was even more exaggerated than Lilith's at that time.

After hearing what the old Pope said, Lilith understood a lot of things in an instant. No matter what, even if it was said to be beyond belief, this potion was not holy water, but the ancestral potion of the Governor of the North.

But Lilith still couldn't believe it and asked:

"How many of these 'Northern Governor's Ancestral Potion' do they have?"

"Your Majesty, you should have read the battle report..."

After hearing this answer, although Lilith couldn't believe it, she still understood that the ancestral potion in the battle report was really holy water.

This is also one of the few areas where Capet is ahead of Anjou in terms of intelligence. At least the Goddess Church still has some foundation.

The old pope continued to answer, "If it weren't for the war in the north, we might not have been able to get this ancestral potion. This bottle is not original. It took a lot of effort to collect it on the battlefield, so the liquid is a little turbid and the purity is not enough. But the other party originally added some materials to the potion, making it look no different from ordinary potions."

Lilith finally understood what it felt like to gasp in some novels. Not pure enough? To be honest, the potion in this plain bottle, even if it was collected on the battlefield and had strange materials added to it, was almost as pure as the holy water in the other side.

The purity is too high, so high that it seems like an industrial product.

With a long sigh, the old pope continued, "It's a pity that we are now helpless against the North. Even the church has been cut off. If the governor wants, he can use this to snatch believers. No... it can't be considered snatching... Maybe the governor is the orthodox of the goddess..."

The old Pope was right. If the governor wanted, he could just wave his hand and turn it into a theocratic regime. With the holy water, believers would only think that the goddess has abandoned the current church, and the goddess religion under the management of the Northern Governor is the orthodox one.

This is a miracle, a real miracle!

Once the North uses this news to build momentum, even the Vatican may have to doubt whether it is still orthodox.

If he had known earlier that the other governor had the ability to mass-produce holy water, the old Pope would have directly dispatched the Crusaders to "invite" the person back at all costs.

This is a living saint. Why unify the North? Just invite him to come and revive the glory of the Church. If the Church has a saint with this ability, let alone Lilith or Clan, even Augustine III can only crawl at the feet of religion and be a devout believer.

The first person Lilith thought of was the original heroine Isa, but that was not right. The cooling time of Isa's skill in making holy water should be quite long. Even if Isa had been making holy water since she went to the North, she still felt that she could not afford the free holy water usage reported in the battle report.

Thinking of the various sci-fi style weapons in the hands of the time traveler, Lilith had a horrifying guess in her mind that the other party not only had the ability to mass-produce holy water, but had even begun to follow the industrial process.

This made Lilith feel desperate. What was the point of this? Her position as the Saint should be occupied by that fellow villager, and the Saint's gender didn't have to be so rigidly determined.

The Pope, noticing the subtle change in Lilith's expression, consoled her, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The Governor doesn't seem to have any intention of making a big fuss about this holy water. At least it's safe for our Church."

Then, the old pope continued to analyze:

"The governor doesn't seem to want to rely too much on the power of religion to help him, lest the power of religion take over. So, before the power of the North continues to grow, he probably won't use these potions to make a fuss."

"Then Your Majesty, as long as the governor does not make it public, these potions are not holy water, but the governor's ancestral potions. Even if we admit that he is a descendant of the old empire, and say that these potions are made with the technology of the old empire, as long as these potions are not holy water, I can even personally stand up for the governor and prove that he is a descendant of the empire."

If the Oracle Lantern only caused the Vatican to split and made choosing a Pope more complicated, then this secret could really subvert the current Vatican. The other party possesses a miracle that can produce a large amount of holy water. So is the Northern Church under the other party orthodox, or is the Central Church in the royal capital orthodox?

If it were in the past, the Central Vatican would have completely suspected that the other party's holy water was produced by some evil method, and requested to investigate. If they refused to cooperate, they would directly seal it up, no matter what the reason.

For example, labeling the opponent as a heretic, cursing them when using them, and saying that the production method is a blasphemy against the goddess.

In order to protect its own status and the majesty of the goddess, the Holy See has done similar things in the past.

But it doesn't work now, at least this method doesn't work for the North. Unless the Tower lifts the restrictions on the high-level powerful people of the Holy See, the current Holy See cannot guarantee that it can defeat the North.

Lilith also nodded. Now Lilith and the Holy See are deeply bound together. At least the Holy See cannot fall now.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have decided to meet the Governor in person. I will discuss this matter with him in detail."

It seems that there is one more thing to discuss with that fellow villager. It would have been great if I had known the secret of this so-called ancestral potion earlier. Now Lilith and the Holy See know that this ancestral potion is holy water, but they are helping the other party to cover it up.

Otherwise, the foundation of the Vatican’s faith would be in danger of collapse at any time.

Lilith gently held the old pope's trembling hands, and the old pope finally calmed down and nodded, saying, "That's good, Your Majesty. I'll leave everything to you."

After leaving the church, Lilith thought about it and decided to discuss the matter with Nora first, because Lilith was actually still very pessimistic about the holy water. The other party had not revealed any information about the holy water before, and after this war, it seemed that they suddenly relaxed the intelligence control in this regard.

In addition to the fact that they had to use a large amount of holy water in the face of the huge pressure from the demon monsters, Lilith felt that the other party was willing to give this order because they no longer cared about the secret of the holy water being leaked. After all, with their current strength, they really didn't need to care about the church's thoughts.

If this is the case, then other forces including Anjou will surely gradually learn of this situation, and by then the Goddess Cult will probably be in a very passive position.

Fortunately, we have learned the news in advance. As long as the Goddess Church and the Northern Territory insist that this is the ancestral potion of the old empire, there will be no problem.

Thinking of this, facing the subsequent negotiations with the Governor of the Northern Territory, Lilith's heart was shrouded in a shadow of pessimism. Her bargaining chips did not increase, but the other party gained an extra bargaining chip out of thin air.
