Chapter 342 The Second Chosen One

"Speechwriter? I wrote it myself."

Upon hearing Shard's request, Priest Augustus pointed to himself and asked with a puzzled tone:

"Is there an issue with the speech?"

"No, there's no issue, it's just... Priest, are you good at writing such things?"

Shard inquired further, and Priest Augustus nodded with a hint of pride:

"I've been in the church since my twenties, and most of that time I've been responsible for similar clerical work, writing speeches and public documents my whole life."

Shard looked at the elderly man in front of him with great admiration, thinking him even more talented than Dorothy, who often polished reports.

After the speech concluded, Shard's work in the church was essentially complete. Bishop Owen took time out of his busy schedule to meet him, and not only did he give Shard 20 pounds for his speech, but he also encouraged him to visit the church often, suggesting the bishop thought this outlander had the potential to be a deeply devoted believer.
