Chapter 124: The Disaster of Innocence
When Duke first arrived at Agnes' residence in the castle, she had already prepared the tables and chairs, and looked very formal waiting for Duke's visit.
In addition, this time she also put on a very formal white gold-trimmed priest's robe, and sat on the throne with a precarious seat, looking at Duke in some dust.
From the moment he entered the door, Duke was very uncomfortable with seeing such a formal reception scene, and the difference between this style of painting and Agnes's usual impression was too great for him to react to.
But soon he felt from the bottom of his heart that what the other party was going to do this time might be extremely difficult, and there must be a demon when things go wrong, and being able to make such a jumping Agnes look like this lady shows that what she asks for must be beyond the ordinary.
"Are you stimulated? How can you arrange it so formally?"
After dispersing the maids and servants he had hired, Duke closed the door and asked casually, hoping to return Agnes to her original style of painting, so that he would not feel uncomfortable talking.
However, Agnes was not moved at all, still maintaining her original posture and said lightly: "This is the basic etiquette for entertaining the honorable Duke, I think it is better to follow the rules." ”
"Alright, I don't know who you are? ”
Duke, who was uncomfortable, said bluntly, he just wanted to get out of here quickly, he didn't want to have too much to do with her, he just wanted to end this strange meeting quickly.
"Okay. Finally, a vivid expression appeared on Agnes' tense face, and she spread her hands and asked Duke, "Since you are not used to this kind of meeting, why did you put my teacher's messenger in?"
"Your teacher went to such great lengths to get people to come and tell you to obey etiquette?"
Originally, seeing that Agnes had finally regained his vitality, Duke was relieved, but he didn't expect that the messenger who was scared to death yesterday and carried a magic ring that could destroy the world in his pocket was actually just to teach this unruly madwoman a lesson.
Although Duke was still very willing to see Agnes being reprimanded, it was just that the teacher's operation was true and he was a little incomprehensible.
"Of course, this is only one aspect, so I wanted you to experience it first, but your face was more bitter than mine, and I said that the rules of those old guys have long been unworkable, and everyone came to scold me. ”
Agnes jumped up and shouted, although the bulky priest's robe was deliberately made a little smaller, but her petite figure still looked quite funny as she walked around the room.
It was the first time Duke had seen her dressed like this, and he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to show it, so he could only change the topic and say: "Then what are you looking for me for, you can't just be disgusted by being scolded and disgusted with me, right?"
"Of course not, this saintess is very busy, who has time to care about you. It was really inconvenient to wear a priest's robe, so Agnes sat back in her seat, and while swiping the dessert on the table with a silver dagger, she casually asked Duke, "I wonder how much the Duke knows about the factions in the church?"
Sure enough, Duke replied quietly: "I'm not a believer myself, and I really don't know much about this, so I don't know at all." ”
In fact, the number of believers in the Church of Light in the entire northern fortress is also very limited, and most of them are shallow believers similar to Joseph, who carry the God of Light out to worship when there is something, and can't remember that he is still a believer when he is fine.
Therefore, this is also the reason why Agnes, the saint of the church, did not cause much sensation when she came to the northern fortress, and most of the onlookers were still curious about what this saint looked like, and they were not very interested in her special status.
"Oops, it was my mistake. ”
Agnes exclaimed, exaggeratedly, and then explained to Duke, "I think you could simply assume that there are two factions in the church, the old school and the radical school. ”
"So which side do you belong to?"
Although he didn't want to hear Agnes say this, this was the subject of this meeting, so he could only tentatively ask Agnes about his faction, so that he could have more information in the rest of the conversation.
"Well, me. Agnes smacked her lips and took another plate of dessert before she said mysteriously, "I'm a centrist!"
Centrist?
Seeing that the other party was a little proud and a little proud, Duke's brows jumped, and he wondered if this crazy woman was playing tricks on herself again, obviously just said that there were two factions, and now there was a centrist faction immediately, so will there be a two-faced faction or some messy faction running out in the future.
Fortunately, Agnes quickly added: "I don't tend to any faction, so it's equivalent to no faction, and I name myself the centrist, isn't it very vivid?"
"As far as I know, centrists generally don't end well. ”
Seeing that she was still there with pride, Duke casually sarcastic.
As a result, Agnes, who was still a little proud, sighed faintly: "Do you think I almost died in the north this time?"
Duke stared at Her Highness the Holy Maiden who was shrouded in grief, but his heart was not infected by her at all.
If he had been impressed by her words before the rescue operation, he would have been deceived by her at all if he had watched his rescue target poke all the people who wanted to assassinate her with a spear in his hand.
"Eh, you're so unsympathetic, and you don't say anything when I'm so sad. Seeing that Duke didn't take the bait, Agnes shook her head in disgust and put away her coy gesture.
"So you're in trouble because of someone inside the church?" Duke probably understood what Agnes was trying to say, and asked along with her.
Then he quickly reacted and said, "Are the people in the Church of Light still colluding with the people of the Church of the End?"
"It's not what I said, it's all your own guessing, don't implicate me when you are burned!" Agnes was taken aback by Duke's dangerous speech, quickly waved her hand and moved her chair back, keeping a greater distance from Duke, while declaring to the god of light that she was not involved in the above dangerous conversation.
"Isn't that what you mean?"
This time it was Duke's turn to wonder.
"Actually, what I really want to say today is that not only me, but you are also targeted by the church!"
