On the other side of the northern fortress, after bidding farewell to Duke, Agnes and Simon hurried for more than ten days, and were now getting closer and closer to the destination of their trip.

As the patriarch of Beijing, Rogier lived in the Guangming Church in Noster, the largest complex in the north, except for a few occasions, he worked or presided over ceremonies in the city, and when he went out, he only went to the estates of the nobles in the suburbs to make necessary contacts and friendships with them.

Moreover, Rogier himself liked to be quiet and did not have much ambition in his heart, so he behaved more deeply and secludedly than the previous patriarchs, as if he were a monk who lived in seclusion in the city, praying in the church every day.

On that day, Agnes and Simon had traveled most of the northern border, and finally arrived at his residence within the time limit demanded by Rogil.

"I thought you'd arrive a little later than I had set the deadline. ”

There were no servants in the house, and Rogier personally opened the door for Agnes, and when he found that it was his student Agnes who knocked on the door, he was so surprised that he blurted out what was in his heart.

You know, his unscrupulous student had never been so punctual and didn't seem to knock on the door much, so much so that he asked Minis to set the deadline a few days early, just in case Agnes was suddenly late.

"Eh, what are you talking about, teacher, I've always listened to you the most. ”

Agnes said with a grin, then took a step back to look at the teacher she hadn't seen in a long time.

Today, Rogier had finished his day's work and prayers, dressed in dark household clothes, he was not very old, even young in the Cardinal Order, but now his temples were gray, and his back was a little rickety, so that Agnes did not dare to recognize him at first glance.

"You seem to be much older, are there so many things in the church?"

Without waiting for Rogier's invitation, Agnes squeezed in by herself, speaking as she went.

Simon, who was following her, could only helplessly spread his hands to Rogier, and Rogier immediately nodded in understanding, and the two of them instantly felt a sense of sympathy for each other.

"There aren't too many things in the church, it's just that there are too many people to deal with and I feel haggard. ”

Seeing that Agnes was already sitting in the living room, Rogier smiled and took out his precious tea leaves from his cupboard, and went to the kitchen to wake up the cook to prepare some desserts for Agnes.

"Come on, I don't know about you yet?" Agnes pursed her lips, unimpressed by what Rogier said, "Tell me, what are you looking for me this time?"

Asked by Agnes, Rogier was silent, and he quietly brewed the tea leaves without making a sound.

"What about you pretending to be dumb? I've been called back by you, aren't you going to say it?"

Agnes didn't have the patience to wait for Rogier to organize the language, and after waiting for a while, he didn't speak, so she snatched Rogier's teacup directly, drank the tea, and impatiently urged her teacher to speak quickly.

"You, after so many years, you may not be able to learn more steadily. Rogier smiled helplessly, and then sighed and said, "Do you know that the Norse Empire and the Wess Kingdom are going to war?"

"You know, these two families are originally feuding, so it's not strange to fight, right?"

Originally, Agnes didn't know, but after a period of popular science with Duke, she had learned a lot, and in her opinion, this thing didn't seem to have much to do with herself and the church.

However, Rogiel's next words still surprised her very much, and she only listened to him: "Well, it's not strange to fight, but we still have some credit for fighting so quickly." ”

"We?"

"They, the blasphemers who want to think they can do the glory of God!"

Speaking of this, Rogier couldn't control his emotions a little, and his hands holding the teacup were a little shaky.

"Blasphemers" is the term given to radical reformers by the conservative faction represented by Rogier, who considered themselves to be the agents of divine brilliance and thus put themselves above everyone as blasphemous and haters.

"Those traitorous nobles on the border of the Norse Empire, I checked and found that they all have dealings with the blasphemers, and some of them are directly those blasphemers who changed their clothes and pretended to be. Rogier said to himself, "The guards of the Duchy of Weiss are too, and I don't think they can get out of it......

Rogier then continued to ramble on and on about many things he had investigated, but Agnes suddenly interrupted him: "Stop, stop, I'm asking why you asked me to come back? I don't want to hear those intrigue stories, do you want to fight?"

"Fight?" Rogier was taken aback directly, afraid that Agnes would really do such a thing, and hurriedly said: "It's not that far yet, I just want to ask you to come over and talk to His Majesty the Pope first." ”

"Why don't you say it, this kind of thing still makes me a junior?"

"You are her godson, what you say has a lot more weight than mine, and His Majesty's attitude has always been unclear, you are not involved in either faction, just to test it. ”

Although Agnes is a disciple of Rogil, she is not strictly biased towards that faction, and even if she is invited today by a representative of the radical reformers, she will gladly attend the appointment, the only difference may be that it is not as informal as it is now.

"That can help you, too. Agnes touched her smooth chin as if moved by Rogiel's words, but she quickly changed her words and looked at Rogill with a grin and said, "What good can you give me?"

Simon on the side directly covered his face and stopped looking at Agnes, only feeling that this meeting directly exposed her own shameless behavior, which made people doubt the character of a certain moral model who had brought her for so long.

"What benefits do you want?"

Rogier was also surprised, originally thought that Agnes would agree directly, but he didn't expect this to happen.

"That's right. Agnes was suddenly a little embarrassed, "When I left, I owed Duke Duke of the North a powerful magic item, you see?"

"You said it earlier! It's easy, I'll pick one out of the storeroom and give it to him later." ”

"No, no, no!" Agnes hurriedly waved her hand and refused, "You have picked it and show it to me first, and I will send it to him myself." ”
