Chapter 698: The Red-robed Archbishop
Pu New District.
Cathedral of St. Robia.
A red-robed figure stood quietly in front of the idol, facing the idol, his hands crossed in front of his chest, his eyes closed, as if praying silently.
As we all know, the people of the Dragon Kingdom have no faith and do not believe in religion, but there are many people who come to pray in this church on weekdays.
It's like some people who don't believe in Buddhism and go to the temple to offer incense during the New Year's holidays, seeking just a temporary peace of mind.
Perhaps because the end of the year is approaching, the church was closed a week ago and is no longer open to the public, and the church is now empty and deserted.
"Squeak......
Suddenly, the heavy door of the church was pushed open from the outside, and a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance slowly approached.
The red-robed figure in front of the statue was unconscious, still motionless.
Footsteps rang out in the silent church.
The middle-aged man, who was not good-looking, walked to the statue without hurrying, looking at the tall and majestic statue, his eyes were as calm as water.
He was not religious.
I didn't come here to worship God.
After a few minutes, the red-robed figure seemed to notice that there was an uninvited guest beside him, and his hands around his chest gradually drooped, and he slowly turned around.
The hat that was connected to the red robe covered his hair, revealing only one face, giving him a sense of mystery in his plainness.
"I see that Your Excellency has no reverence for the statue of God, so there should be something else to do here?"
His voice was very gentle, but also melodious, and it rose and fell in the empty church, like a bell striking people's hearts, and it had a kind of shocking power.
The middle-aged man also turned around, and a calm and friendly smile appeared on his ordinary face.
"The Bishop has come to the Dragon Kingdom, and it is reasonable for me to come to visit from now on. ”
The red-robed man also smiled slowly, his hands on his cuffs.
"I have heard for a long time that the Dragon Kingdom is hospitable, and it really deserves its reputation, dare to ask Your Excellency's name?"
The middle-aged man reported his home kindly.
"Dragon State Health Bureau, Luo Wenzhou. ”
The red-robed man seemed a little surprised.
"I didn't expect it to be Director Luo in person, and I have admired the name for a long time. ”
"Your Excellency Bishop is polite, I wonder what Your Excellency has come all the way to the East for?"
The red-robed man smiled kindly: "I have heard for a long time that the Dragon Country is a treasure of heaven and earth, and the people are outstanding, so I have always wanted to come and see it, Director Luo will not be unwelcome, right?"
"Of course not. ”
Luo Wenzhou shook his head and said: "Since the opening of our Dragon Country, we have always welcomed tourists from all over the world to come as guests. ”
He paused, then continued.
"My lord, I am a rough man, and I may speak a little straighter, so please don't be surprised. ”
The red-robed man shook his head, his smile did not change, and his smile was frank and sincere.
"I admire Director Luo's dedication and patriotism, but please rest assured that I have no ill will towards your country. ”
Luo Wenzhou stared at him for a while, and said slowly: "Your Excellency, my country has always had a friendly relationship with your organization, and we hope that this friendship can always be maintained. ”
"Of course. ”
The red-robed man smiled and nodded.
"Our temple has always upheld the principle of friendship and common development with all governments, and it was, is, and will continue to be, and this will never change. ”
"With the words of the bishop, I am relieved. ”
Luo Wenzhou withdrew his gaze from the red-robed man's face, and turned his head to look at the tall statue of the god enshrined in front of the church.
"Your Excellency, this must be your first time in the East, right?"
The red-robed man nodded, turned around, and whispered to the idol: "The development of your country really surprised me very much, and those ignorant Western countries should all come over to take a look." ”
Luo Wenzhou smiled and was noncommittal.
"The bishop is new to the city, and I'm afraid I'm not familiar with many places in my country, so why don't you be a tour guide and take the bishop around?"
"Director Luo is too polite, you are so busy with official business, how can I let you waste time with me. ”
"Your Excellency, the bishop is wrong, the end of the year is approaching, I actually have nothing to be busy with, after a busy year, it is time to give myself a vacation, people always have to combine work and rest. ”
The red-robed man smiled and nodded.
That's true. ”
"So, the Bishop is also here at the right time, if the Bishop doesn't dislike it, can I let him be a companion with the Bishop?"
Luo Wenzhou was pleasant, but his attitude was extremely tough.
No matter how nice the red-robed man said, it was impossible for him to relax his vigilance easily.
It is a very dangerous thing to let such characters come and go freely in their own land.
For example, the last time in Kunnan, an entire village was killed at the hands of Wu Muku, which is a bloody lesson from the past.
Although the human tragedy was effectively suppressed and not exposed, it is obvious that such a thing cannot happen a second time!
In any case, he must strictly control the whereabouts of the other party.
The red-robed man fell silent, staring at Luo Wenzhou with pale dark green pupils.
Luo Wenzhou smiled at the corner of his mouth, and did not dodge or avoid looking at him.
"Since Director Luo is so gracious, then I might as well be respectful. ”
After a few seconds, the red-robed man smiled and spoke, as if he had chosen to compromise.
Luo Wenzhou's smile became brighter, "It is also a blessing for Wenzhou to be able to travel with the bishop." ”
The red-robed man turned around and looked out of the church through the door that Luo Wenzhou had pushed open.
Squinting slightly, he said leisurely: "I have heard for a long time that the East China Sea is the most developed city in the Dragon Kingdom, if it doesn't disappoint, next, I wonder if Director Luo can take me to Kyoto for a spin?"
It seems that he really just came for sightseeing, and after visiting the richest cities in the Dragon Kingdom, the next target is to lock the core of the Dragon Kingdom's power.
Luo Wenzhou's eyes flickered quietly.
As a red-robed archbishop, in the temple, he can be regarded as a core figure, and he naturally doesn't believe that the other party's purpose is really as simple as playing as it seems on the surface.
Suddenly arrived in the East China Sea without warning, stayed for a few days, and after being found by himself, he immediately proposed to go to the capital, what did this red-robed bishop want to do?
He couldn't figure out the other party's thoughts, and the only thing he could do was to keep the other party in his sight.
"Of course there is no problem. ”
Luo Wenzhou agreed very boldly.
Whether it's going to Kyoto, the Son of Heaven is heavily guarded, and when he goes there, his pressure will be much less.
The red-robed man withdrew his gaze from outside the door.
"I wonder if Director Luo still has something to do in the East China Sea? If not, we can leave immediately. ”
"In such a hurry?"
"It's a shame to waste time, isn't it?"
The red-robed man stared at him, his eyes deep and dark, as far as the eye could see.
