Chapter 181: Exclusion and War
At this moment, in the eyes of the clone Paladin, there were ten thousand white light elements wandering around the old man! This is equivalent to the existence of a magician! A mage who follows the sacred magic! The clone Paladin immediately became more vigilant. With the existence of a magister, it was too easy to kill this clone with only 500 golden light elements.
"Bobby, who did you bring here? This is a very strange smell..." The old man raised his head, minding his own business, and his completely blank eyes showed that this guy was blind. Paladin looked at the old man hesitantly, but when he saw the archbishop next to him, whom the old man called Bobby, he immediately smiled respectfully and said: "This is our archbishop Somaba, who is now ninety-five years old." "Hehehe, It turns out to be the new Archbishop whom I heard about recently... that Ding, where is that guy Salil? Why do you suddenly want to give up your power and go into seclusion? "
After hearing that Bobby said that this old man was the archbishop who led the entire Casmi domain, Paladin was immediately very respectful and even cautiously stepped forward and knelt down on one knee. He gently raised his wrinkled and skinny hand and kissed it. He clicked the ring on his hand and said softly: "Are you the Archbishop? I have admired you for a long time." "Hehehe, don't mind, young man, my eyes have long been blind."
Somaba smiled kindly, and just as Paladin stood up straight, the rolling sound of a carriage suddenly sounded outside the door. The three Paladins just turned their heads when they saw seven or eight young archbishops also wearing purple robes, opening the door and walking in. "Oh! Dear Somaba! May God bless you!" As soon as these archbishops saw the old man sitting in front of the statue, they immediately walked up to him with excitement as if they had been given chicken blood, and knelt down to kiss him one after another. Behind the ring, an archbishop who was only forty years old glanced at Paladin, and suddenly curled his lips and began to sneer: "Today, the archbishop brought us old guys together to discuss things. How could a priest come in?"
"Hey, Archbishop Bonaparte, this is the recently appointed Palatine Archbishop. You can tell by the scarf around his neck. Such achievements at such a young age are really enviable." "It's hard to say, I heard Salil That guy likes virgins, I don't know, actually..." Upon hearing this, the seven or eight archbishops suddenly looked at each other and laughed together, the contempt and rejection in them being obvious.
However, Paladin faced such an insult with a faint smile and showed no sign of getting angry because of it. At this time, Somaba pressed his hand, and the laughter of the archbishops stopped immediately. The blind old man said in a leisurely tone: "Archbishop Flamel, I hope you don't mind. They just like to make these jokes, time You will naturally get used to it after a long time." "Don't worry, Archbishop, the love and concern of all the elders, I can clearly feel this warmth in front of the statue of Enos."
After saying this formulaic answer, many archbishops secretly curled their lips. Somaba nodded with a smile. Several archbishops immediately stepped forward to help him stand up, but they heard him say in a kind voice: "Come this way, I have prepared a banquet. Let's say some words in the restaurant." As soon as the words fell, from Several priests who ran out immediately bowed respectfully and said: "Please come this way."
Ten people rushed to help the old Somaba up to the second floor. But Paladin looked calm, with no intention of flattering or flattering. Seeing Paladin's actions, the archbishops secretly looked at him with contempt and disdain.
On the second floor, a spacious restaurant comes into view. The head of the monster hangs on one side as a decoration, with various patterns decorating the corners. On the floor are fine raw silk satin carpets, velvet chairs, sterling silver tableware, and pure gold candlesticks. Except for the cross placed in the middle, it doesn't look like a church restaurant at all. Instead, it looks more luxurious like a noble room. …,
After everyone personally helped Somaba to sit on the main seat, they immediately sat down separately for the guest and the host. As soon as Paladin reached the dining table, his steps suddenly stopped and his eyes narrowed slightly. Because this dining table has no extra chairs at all. There was no chair set up for him. "Hey, why doesn't our Paladin sit down?" "Oh, you must like to eat standing alone, right?"
When the other archbishops saw Paladin's current situation, they immediately taunted him with all kinds of ridicule. At this time, the smiling Somaba suddenly whispered: "Those priests must have forgotten to be worthy of the position of Archbishop Flamel. They are really ignorant children who don't know any sense of propriety and rules. How dare they come to serve us? "Paladin listened to the sarcasm hidden in the words of Somaba, a blind old man, and still smiled without saying a word. At this time, the priest standing on one side immediately came forward, lowered his head and said respectfully: "I'm very sorry, we don't have enough chairs, we only have a small stool."
Hearing this, the archbishops looked at each other and smiled secretly. The archbishop named Bobby immediately said: "Then you haven't brought it yet? How can we let our new archbishop stand? Paladin, you are such a noble and holy person. You won't mind a bench." "Of course you won't mind, it's my honor." Paladin replied with a smile, and the priest immediately took out an old bench from where he was just sitting and placed it on it. The counter at the end of the dining table. "Please, Archbishop Flamel." The priest looked at Paladin with a joking look, but the latter kept smiling and walked to the bench to sit down peacefully.
At this moment, everyone was holding back their smiles and looking at Paladin, as if they were expecting something and said nothing. But Paladin was calm and composed, crossed his hands and clenched his fists and said, "Can we start praying?" As soon as he finished speaking, Paladin ignored the somewhat surprised archbishops and found that Somaba, who was sitting with his eyes closed, revealed a little bit. Surprised expression.
"Thank you, Father in Heaven, we humbly call your name, Enos! Thank you for giving us food and wine, thank you for spreading beauty and kindness to the world, thank you, praise you! Amen."
After a round of speeches, the ten people picked up the sterling silver tableware and began to cut the prime beef on the dinner plate and eat the mashed potatoes in the bowl. At this time, Somaba spoke first. I saw him put down the red wine in his hand, closed his eyes and turned his head sideways and said: "Recently, the Archduke told me that there is going to be a war again. Archbishop Salil, who was the leader of the field priests a year ago, resigned from his post. Who should be sent this time? What?" "I suggest that Archbishop Flamel is young, and Archbishop Salil has said in public more than once that his healing skills are superb. And his health is much better than that of us old antiques. Let him be the one to serve in this battlefield. The leader of the priesthood." "I second the proposal." "I also second the proposal." "Second the proposal."
These cunning guys shook the knives in their hands to show their intention to second the proposal. Paladin immediately said without hesitation: "I feel very honored to be able to serve as the leader of the Field Priests. If you don't want to compete, I am willing to accept it." "Okay, let's do it." Paladin The speed of the compromise was beyond everyone's expectations. Somaba hesitated slightly, but without feeling that he was at a disadvantage, he simply agreed. Everyone was happy. Some archbishops, including Barbi, labeled the young archbishop: "a cowardly young man who knows the current affairs."
"Sorry, I want to go to the bathroom." After a while, Paladin stood up and left the restaurant. As soon as his figure disappeared around the corner, the archbishops immediately frowned, stared at the frightened priest and cursed: "What's going on? Why didn't the bench fall apart?" The priest was so frightened that he immediately leaned down to check. Then with a slight touch, the bench was so fragile that it broke into several wooden pieces and scattered on the ground. It’s hard to imagine how Paladin could have sat on such a stool for so long. …,
"Get out." Somaba suddenly told the priest to get out. Ignoring this guy's frightened escape from the restaurant, he said to the surprised archbishops: "It's enough that things have reached this point. Young people are not sensible, but they are not ordinary people. If there is nothing extraordinary in the future, Just let him go." The archbishops looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
After the meal, with Somaba seeing him off, the archbishops got into their luxurious carriages and left. When Paladin, who was the last to leave, walked to his carriage, he saw that the two wheels of the carriage had been pried open with tools, making it impossible to move at all. "Your Excellency, Archbishop, I went to the restroom and saw this when I came back...I, I really don't know what happened!"
The church groom tried his best to explain to Paladin in fear. The expressionless Paladin glanced at the wheel, then turned his head slightly and squinted at the tower on the church and Somaba standing vaguely by the window. Suddenly his face became angry, and he slapped the groom over and scolded: "You are obviously the one who took off the wheel, so why are you making excuses! Let's go, I don't need you anymore." After that, Paladin stepped forward resolutely, He walked towards the forest road alone. The groom was left with a nervous look on his face, and he chased after him desperately. Somaba, who was watching all this in the church, slightly turned his pure white eyes and said to himself: "Know the current affairs, know the current affairs."
Naturally, he didn't see that Paladin, who had his back turned, looked calm at the moment, where was the angry expression just now? But only he understood that although his idea of joining the field priests had been realized, this kind of teasing made him more or less angry.
PS: Sorry, this chapter is a bit late. The school student union held activities in the evening, and I returned to the dormitory very late, trying my best to get out. Forgive me.
