Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 1287 - 359: Protection of the Saint Lord

Liu was shocked, but Joan of Arc was indeed pregnant, and it had been two months.

On that day at the Yale Oasis, the Undead Mage Zandi completely paralyzed Liu with the much-coveted treasure "Death Lord bracelet" and raised his hand with a Seven-Star Crossbow. One of the steel arrows shot Liu with a sinister intent to end his lineage, the arrow’s momentum unabated, hitting Joan of Arc in the ovary.

The arrowhead was the prime culprit of this significant incident.

To systematically explain this event, the Andulan elder took a full half hour.

Once people age, they tend to become a bit long-winded, and the Andulan elder was no exception.

He repeatedly talked about how Joan of Arc was so pure, so kind, so chaste, and from various perspectives, argued for the possibility of this bizarre pregnancy, which essentially boiled down to one point—Richard, you little wretch, don’t even think about denying this fact.

Master Puskas didn’t say anything, just crossed his arms with a smile on his face.

Mage Stefano and Mage Aymar kept praising how powerful Master Puskas’ Prophecy Method was, eliciting admiring glances from all around.

Liu zoned out for a whole half hour, then bowed his head and chain-smoked cigars one after another.

The Andulan elder started to steer the topic towards the gender of the baby, and he solemnly declared that since Joan of Arc came from the human race with the most outstanding reproductive ability, if she bore a girl, Richard would have to keep trying until Joan of Arc gave birth to a boy.

The elder’s blatant preference for male children embarrassed Master Puskas.

"Senior Shaman of Andulan! We have something we haven’t told you, and now is the time to inform you and His Majesty Richard!" The Jade Dragon Knight Gaxia had been patient for a long time, and since she saw the elder’s no sign of stopping, she immediately interrupted the elder’s endless nonsense, "The child Joan of Arc is carrying is absolutely a boy!"

"Oh?" The Andulan elder looked up at this beautiful dignitary of the church, "How do you know?"

"The pregnancy of a Saintess in the doctrine of St.Paul Church represents a kind of miracle! Only the Most High God can impregnate a Saintess without any act of desecration! This child must be the Holy Child, necessarily a boy!" Jade Dragon Knight Gaxia said righteously: "Our church refuses to acknowledge that the infant in Joan of Arc’s womb is the biological child of Richard, the Shaman of Bimon Divine Songs. As a Dragon Knight, I must be responsible for my loyal honor and beliefs!"

This matter was already bizarre enough, but Liu was struck dumb when an unexpected challenger appeared along the way, cigar still in his mouth.

Everyone else was also baffled and shocked, except for Master Puskas.

"Of course, we acknowledge that His Majesty Richard is the foster father of the Holy Child, that point is beyond reproach! His Majesty will have the right to add the title ’Saint’ before his name, but he is not the Holy Father, he is the foster father of the Holy Child!" Gaxia added: "We have already notified the Holy Vatican a few days ago, and we believe that Pope Paul II will respond soon!"

"Not Richard’s child? Bullshit!" the Andulan elder burst into fury, "Do you two understand what medical science is? In medical literature, I can find seven or eight similar cases of bizarre pregnancy like Richard and Joan of Arc. How can he not be the child’s father?"

"We don’t care about these! In history, there are no instances of pregnancy due to arrow wounds that befell a church Saintess!" The two Dragon Knights were as stubborn as if they had eaten iron staffs, "Joan of Arc is the church’s candidate for Saintess, and from any perspective, it means a miracle!"

"Miracle my ass!" someone sneered dismissively, "Are you two crazy? You can go begging wherever you like, why come here to act wildly? Damn!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere immediately became tense, with both parties glaring at each other in anger. Although they refrained from fighting due to saving face, the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

Liu’s eyes were in disarray, clearly still not recovered from the shock, one hit after another left him overwhelmed.

Vieri prepared a dagger, ready to bleed his boss at any moment to prevent him from dying of a heart attack due to rage.

The others were mostly tongued-tied in astonishment.

As for St.Paul Church, the number one religion on the Aegean Continent, those present had some understanding of it. This denomination advocated monotheism and was incompatible with the Aegean Continent’s original belief in animism and polytheism, possessing a broad base among humankind and having launched several wars against heretics, like exterminating the Ascetic Monks and expelling the followers of the Frost Goddess, etc.

It is said that originally, the St.Paul Church was a minor religion, but the Most High Saint Paul impregnated a devout virgin woman without wedlock, who gave birth to the Holy Child Saul in a stable on a winter’s day. Under the guidance of Holy Child Saul, St.Paul Church quickly became the largest religion on the Aegean Continent, and thus the birth of Holy Child Saul also became humankind’s foremost festival—Jostre Festival.

Joan of Arc’s identity was that of a candidate Saintess for St.Paul Church, and now she was indeed pregnant without any act of original sin. By the church’s standards, the child in her womb could really be considered the Holy Child.

With this relationship in place, everyone felt even more confused—this mess made no sense!

"The two Dragon Knights, are you implying that... Richard, the Shaman of Bimon Kingdom is about to become the foster father of the Holy Child of St.Paul Church? But His Majesty Richard is a Beamon Shaman! Can your church acknowledge this?" Even the Swan High Priest Mourinho couldn’t help but interject in disbelief.
