Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 666 - 220 Flandre: In every sense, it’s out of control now (10.2k)_5

It was from that time that the sacred Briania once again became a truly holy existence in the hearts of all the continent's believers of the righteous gods, and allowed the several churches of the Holy Hall to always maintain their position at the forefront of the righteous gods' churches.

Flandre had heard the Bartlett Monarch say at a Cardinals' report meeting:

"If sacred Briania truly wants to return to the peak of its state, it must make adjustments to the internal structure of the Holy Hall."

Such behavior could almost be considered an open challenge to the legitimacy of the rule of the Holy Hall within sacred Briania.

At that time, the mountain range of the Holy Mountain was recorded by newspapers with the Bartlett Monarch's wild claims urgently printed 11 times, with half a page dedicated to reporting on that continent-shaking report meeting and thoroughly analyzing the Bartlett Monarch's concepts and thoughts.

More than 170 years ago from today, based on this meeting report, Briania initiated internal self-reform within sacred Briania and named this event the "Listening to the Reformation Declaration."

This event could be considered the starting point for the self-reflection within the Holy Hall, where the lambs of God bowed their heads, admitted their mistakes, and called the Bartlett Monarch the "Elder Who Listens to History."

He was thought to be a Mage without borders, who made a great contribution to sacred Briania, but when the Bartlett Monarch thought of returning to the then-city state of Yibel, everything changed.

As it turned out, sacred Briania was not a land of free coming and going, and the "equality and great love" preached by the lambs of God also had their flexible judgment thresholds.

Especially for a genius like Bartlett.

The Inquisitors of sacred Briania personally came to him, using the excuse that the Bartlett Monarch had concealed communications with Yibel, and took him to the interiors of the Holy Court.

Even so, no one chose to employ any underhanded tactics against the Bartlett Monarch.

Even though the Bartlett Monarch did not resist much, they consciously relaxed their control.

The only thing that gave them a headache was that after the Bartlett Monarch entered the Holy Court, he neither ate nor drank nor slept, as if he had built a mental wall between himself and the outside world.

Once such a repelling stance was spread, it immediately provoked dissatisfaction from numerous people.

They berated the Holy Court for persecuting others again, and even the dean of the Academy for God-scripture Education and Research personally took charge, and after the efforts of many parties, with a substantial bail and the dean's personal supervision as a guarantee, they managed to return the Bartlett Monarch safely to his home.

Yet, a Magic Monarch, an existence that could be considered to have reached the pinnacle within his own Domain, was forced by this incident to lose fifteen kilograms after leaving the Holy Court.

Even after returning home, the Bartlett Monarch still did not regain his freedom.

The former head of the Holy Court, Berunaru, personally sought out the current head of the Holy Court and sternly expressed the warning that "Bartlett must never return to Yibel."

"He personally created the Artificial Saint Angel! He knows too much! Whoever possesses him could match each Holy Church's specially crafted God's Chosen and Prayer Corps!

If he were to return to the Yibel City State and help their soul generation technology and Manipulation Mages reach our level, it would impact the entire world's Church system!"

These words directly determined that for a considerably long time afterward, the Bartlett Monarch had to live under the surveillance of the staff dispatched by the Holy Court for more than seventy years.

Then... not long after the Yibel City State was reformed into the Bell Federation, war broke out between the Federation and the High Forest.

He, who was burning with impatience, ultimately could not hold back.

All these years, he had only been able to conduct magic research at home, and regular Mages would have collapsed if they kept up such a regimen, but the Bartlett Monarch, caught in difficulties, still began his new research.

This time, he researched a kind of mental poison specifically targeted at the Elves' frontline "Tree People," and completed "The Principles of Manipulation Magic Control" after 30 years.

Soon, the mental poison spread across the frontline of the High Forest battlefields.

And "The Principles of Manipulation Magic Control" once again brought the number of employed Manipulation Mages, or rather Enchantment Mages, back to their peak.

Leveraging this theory, the Bartlett Monarch was told by a teacher and dean of the Academy for God-scripture Education and Research:

"You've completely surpassed me in the field of Manipulation!"

Flandre recalled her father telling her that he personally rushed to the scene at the release of "The Principles of Manipulation Magic Control," intending to meet the Bartlett Monarch in person.

That day, her father saw the dean of the Academy for God-scripture Education and Research sitting beside the Bartlett Monarch, trying to persuade him to stay in sacred Briania.

However, the Bartlett Monarch picked up his wine glass, approached Flandre's father, and toasted with him.

Bartlett was using this gesture to show his determination to return to the Bell Federation; nothing could change his decision.

Flandre has never forgotten the expression her father had when he returned home and spoke of this incident.
