Kuboert widened his eyes, but his mind was racing. After several minutes of silence, he finally relaxed and let out a deep sigh. Even though he was extremely reluctant in his heart, he also knew that what Lynch said was indeed correct.

"Lynch, I need assurance." Kuboert looked at the Mage and said word by word, "You must pledge with your integrity and the friendship we forged when we stood against the undead army together that the temple will still be the same temple."

"As long as there are still good people in the world, the Light Temple will definitely return to its original state." Lynch patted his shoulder and said, "In fact, even if the Mage Association disappears, I believe the Pate Temple will still exist."

Feeling safe, Felps leapt in front of Zilvra, completely ignoring the disdainful look of the female Drow. He said, "Is everything resolved? Can we proceed to the next step now?"

It was only then that Kuboert realized that this Halfling and the Great Mage beside him had long planned to target the Pate Temple. Consulting with him now was merely because they had no choice, as they encountered him coincidentally during the plan's execution.

Lynch immediately saw through Kuboert's thoughts and hurried to explain the entire situation to him without omission—from the discovery of the temple's abnormalities by Littlefinger to Lynch's own investigation into the intelligence on the Black Teleportation Stone, and the evidence found in the bishop's secret basement of his collusion with the Snake-men.

The Priest nodded, indicating that he understood all the circumstances. However, there was one aspect of the plan that he found hard to accept. It was that the person who was going to play the role of the archbishop was a Disguiser from a thief gang. The thought of such a person soon preaching to all the Light Temple's priests, leading them in prayer; it made Kuboert feel a sense of nausea.

"Does it really have to be a thief... wanderer?" The Priest said, "He is not a true believer of the Light God; how can he fulfill such a duty? Moreover, if he does anything strange, who can control him?"

"Hehe, it's not like he's really going to become a bishop, so why worry about it?" The Halfling squinted with a smile and said, "Of course, if Mr. Kuboert can find a devout Light Priest in the Light Temple who can tell such a gigantic lie and claim to be the archbishop, I'll naturally recommend him for this task."

"That is, of course, impossible! True believers of the Light God would never lie!" Kuboert frowned tightly, bending down towards the Halfling and said, "Can you guarantee that guy won't do anything harmful to the temple?"

"I've suddenly thought of a better idea." Littlefinger blinked and snapped his fingers. "Why not have Mr. Kuboert oversee the task execution inside the temple, and have that impersonator report to you?"

"This..." Kuboert hesitated. Because the temple was nearly in shambles now, he couldn't find any fellow believers he could completely trust to help supervise. To be honest, he was more inclined to return to the front lines to help Wislin secure victory in battle, rather than here directing a puppet.

While the Priest was mired in distress, only Lynch seemed to eye Littlefinger meaningfully. From the brilliant, joyful expression on the Halfling's face, it seemed this little fellow had more to say.

"You only need to join our organization!" Littlefinger clapped his hands and said to Kuboert, "I'm not asking you to change your faith. Just become my deputy in name, and that Disguiser will follow your orders directly, with no ulterior motives whatsoever. In our organization, obedience is the most important rule."

"Is this some kind of joke?" Kuboert stood up, shaking his head vigorously, "You want me to join a wanderer organization? Light God above! Is this also part of your test for me?"

Lynch gave the Halfling a reproachful look, thinking this idea was too outrageous. But the smile on Zilvra's face gave him a whole new perspective. If this matter were approached differently, perhaps it wasn't impossible.

"Kuboert, if you secretly join Felps' organization, it would be the greatest sacrifice for the Light God. You'd be exchanging your honor for time to rebuild the temple, which is a sacred test." Lynch smiled and said, "I greatly admire your actions, so I can join the Pate Temple as a condition in exchange for you accepting this task."
