Chapter 166
The bright sun shines into the room, and there are already a few flowers blooming on the green vines outside the window, welcoming the coming spring, and letting the last silhouette of the harsh winter be in this birds, speech, Flowers, Fragrances's morning star forest disappeared.
Loren leaned against the chair and sat by the window with some difficulty, a little blood on his pale face. Although the footsteps are still a bit vain, at least he can go to the ground by himself without the support of others.
According to this rate, at most one week will be able to restore the peak state by itself. Of course, there must be some internal injuries on his body, but he is still young and will not have much influence on his actions at all.
"I can rest assured that I see you are still alive, Lord Loren Torino!" The little priest sitting across from the black hair wizard kept praying, with a bit of excitement in his eyes: "Thank the Holy Cross for your blessing, I didn't let me lose a friend like you who is not only brave but also extremely pious!"
When I heard the word "religious", Loren was just faintly laughed, not What to do in response.
He still has some impression of this little priest. He helped himself a lot when he was in Ancient Wood Town, and his knowledge of faith and doctrine is better than Farnesis and other priests. He is much more tolerant-he even believes that there are devout believers in the wizard, which is simply a different kind in the church.
"I heard those elves say that you led an expedition into the forest and defeated an ancient evil pagan Spiritual God!" The little priest got more and more excited: "This must be the Holy Cross It puts its divine force on you, so that you have the power to transcend the mundane and end this terrifying disaster!"
"I saw it a long time ago The potential in you, Lord Loren Torino. You must be able to become a disseminator of the doctrine of the Holy Cross, and even become a role model-let those who do not believe open their eyes and see, even in the wizard, there is Those who have been blessed by the Holy Cross!"
"You really praised, I just made some insignificant contributions." Loren faintly replied: "Without the sacrifices of the elves, hundreds of thousands The ogre has already stepped through the ancient wood forest and poured into Duchy’s land."
"This is undeniable. Although these elves are not citizens of the Holy Cross, they are indeed in resisting evil creatures. Made an indelible contribution." The little priest solemnly nodded: "We must all thank them-even if we are not afraid of sacrifice, but without the elves, we would be impossible to bathe in the glory of God in peace!"
"I heard some rumors about this..."
Loren suddenly changed his expression, and looked towards Little Priest with some "curious": "It's about Duke Lotaire and Morningstar Lin’s alliance."
"That’s right, if there is no support from Ruben count, this matter may not be so fast." Little priest nodded, there is some pride in his expression: "For support In this war, Holy Cross Church also gave out one-fifth of the annuity, and also provided a large amount of medicine, and organized the believers to transport spontaneously. Many elves and warriors also survived because of this!"
"That's a great act of kindness." Loren's words changed. "But what I want to say is not this, but about the conditions of the alliance-if you don't accept the faith of the Holy Cross, the Duke will not form an alliance with the elves, is it true? "
The little priest's expression immediately became a bit more embarrassing.
"Whether it is the duke or the church, I can understand the reasons for wanting to do this. After all, it is the highest honor to spread the doctrine." black hair wizard shook the head slightly: "But is it doing this now? Is the best time? Right now we actually need elves. Is it really appropriate to have an evil relationship like this?"
"This is actually..."
The little priest suddenly looked around. After confirming that no one was eavesdropping nearby, he lowered his voice in embarrassment and looked at Loren quietly opening the mouth and said with a serious look: "In fact, Lord Farnesis requested an extra request, not Lord Bishop and Lord Duke!"
"Farnesis?" Loren raised his right eye slightly, face doesn't change.
"Yes, Lord Farnesis said that if the elves are unwilling to believe in the Holy Cross, it means that they are not in a sincere alliance with the Duke, and they must have different purposes." Little priest nodded: "Lord Friede I think it makes sense, so I agreed."
"But this is actually just an additional condition. Lord Duke didn’t take seriously—otherwise, it’s not just me who came here. Priest, it’s Lord Farnesis himself."
"Why?"
"You don’t know this and it’s normal-in Holy Cross Church, if a priest can open up A new diocese, then he can immediately become the priest of the local church; and in a place as big as the eastern forest, the church may even set up an extra bishop!"
The little priest’s expression is very helpless, It also seemed to be a bit regretful: "Although it may not be appropriate to say that, I am an ordinary trainee priest who is impossible to shoulder such a heavy responsibility."
"And now Bishop Fabian is already getting older. He may be photographed by the Holy Cross at any time, and there are many priests who are ready to compete with Lord Farnesis for the position of the bishop. If this involves a new diocese, how can he rest assured to let others do it?"
right hand On the chin, the black hair wizard's eyes were a little clearer.
Loren still remembers how high-spirited and vigorous Farnesis was, and even the church guards had to serve him-but now, the situation is so critical that he must use this method.
Obviously, the Wimpal Academy incident has traumatized Farnesis's prestige and power, so that other priests dare to challenge his position as the heir to the bishop.
Now he urgently needs some opportunities to make up for his loss, so he hits the target on the elves. If he can use this opportunity, all the elves in the Morningstar Forest and even the Eastern Forest will be settled. Incorporated into the embrace of the Holy Cross, he is qualified to become a new bishop by virtue of this feat alone!
Even if he didn’t succeed, he had worked hard and proved his piety and "loyalty" to the Holy Cross, and at the same time there would be no loss, so why not For?
So the entire "missionary" incident is a risk-free gamble by Farnesis-it is good if you win, and you won’t lose much if you lose, and you don’t need to be there in person. An eye-catching priest will do.
For example, the one in front of me...
"I will execute the orders of Lord Farnesis as much as possible, but I will not force the elves." Little priest shook the head: "Forcing or even blackmailing to kidnap others, that is definitely not what a Holy Cross believer did!"
"But I am here today for another thing to tell you, Loren Torino Your Excellency."
The little priest's expression suddenly became serious: "In fact, I have met Your Excellency Dalton Kander once before coming back. You should know each other?"
"He is my mentor." Loren nodded, a not-so-good premonition rise in the mind: "What happened?"
"He... something happened."
The little priest twitched his throat fiercely: "I know it's weird to speak of which, because he and I are only one side, but he is indeed missing-I have visited Wimpal Academy afterwards, from He never went back after that day!"
"Then how are you sure that something happened to him?" Loren squinted his eyes: "Maybe he is just going out for a long time, and the tutor often needs to go to other places to work. Yes."
"Because someone told me about it personally, and then asked me to pass it on to his apprentice—that is, you, Your Excellency Loren Torino."
Little Priest The more he spoke, the more panicked he was, and he was obviously shocked: "Your Excellency Dalton Kander was caught by that person and detained-the only condition for the other person to release is that you go there in person, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?"
"Otherwise he will do something...not very sensible--this is what he said!" The little priest's expression was tangled: "I originally planned to wait until you are almost recovered before telling you, but..."
"No, very suitable!" Loren held the opponent, the corners of his mouth cocked slightly-just in front of him The little priest can feel the killing intent on him.
"My patient needs to move his muscles and bones!"
