"A philosopher from the eastern kingdoms?" The first apostle Jacob looked at Francis, confused.
Jacob wasn't questioning this philosopher's abilities or background — He had passed Avando's test and won "Crown" Ell's trust. Jacob had raised the question hoping to learn more to make a better judgment about Francis' proposal. After all, he was the Secret Praying Congress' main leader.
The other apostles shared similar concerns. Even Lucien bore a similar expression.
The situation of this world is rather special. False gods, including those that have Moon as part of their domain, are plenty. When the authentic God of the Silver Moon, Alterna, fell to this world, She would be attracted to those whose godhood is similar to hers. It was possible that she would try to reclaim her powers from them. After all, She was also the Primordial Ancestor of the Vampires and was able to harness blood and godhood.
