Chapter 46: Flickering Candles

Rhodes stood in front of the altar and turned back, like all the statues, holding white candles in both hands, as if he were the embodiment of God. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The man knelt down, raised his head, and looked up reverently, and it seemed to him that the huge idol behind him seemed to merge with the figure in front of him, and his eyes were wide as if he had seen a miracle. He stretched out his hand, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it, and eagerly pulled up the hem of his robe and kissed it.

The man's behavior satisfied Rhodes, and there was a hint of truth in his smile.

"You did a good job, ordinary people can't join the battle between the contractors, you followed my instructions well, and of course kept your companions out of danger."

The candlelight accentuates the color of the light brown pupils, but does not inject warmth into them.

"I remember your wish was to join the Church Guard, right? Settle down, God has heard your pious pleas, and your wishes will be granted. ”

The man kissed the hem of his shirt again, he was one of the six patrol guards, he was the one who stopped his companions when they heard the noise and found the battle in front of the door and wanted to help, as a low-level guard, because he had always obeyed the instructions of the priests, so he was convinced by his companions, so everyone hid in the library, watching the battle of Arthur and the others from afar.

It was also he who delayed the briefing.

The candle flame flickered again, and soon returned to peace, and the great sanctum sanctuary fell silent for a moment.

Rhodes stood quietly in the square inch where he had stood for nearly twenty years, the altar, the pulpit, and the sanctuary in front of the statue, and the figure of the priest Rhodes had perfectly integrated with the city of Se'an and all things in Se'an.

The candle flame in his hand burned quietly, and Rod didn't actually know what he was looking at.

He listened to the wishes of the people, repented, and became a substitute for all the sins and desires of all, but no one ever asked Rhodes what your wishes were, why did you repent, and whether you believed in the master to whom you swore allegiance.

"Looks like things are going well." A few minutes later, someone stepped out of the curtain, and the rings of various colored gemstones alternated on their fingers stood out in the relatively monochromatic sanctuary.

"It is indeed a powerful person, and your vision is still so accurate." Tilting his head slightly and looking behind him from the corner of his eye, Rhodes placed the candle on the candlestick, "Originally, I was worried about whether they could do it. ”

Mr. G took off his fur hat and pressed his hand to his chest in respect, and his cunning and calculation were restrained in the face of Rod.

"Thank you for your trust."

"The Moby Dick Chamber of Commerce is naturally trustworthy."

"But does it really matter? The Great Sage will not condemn himself? ”

Rod snorted softly: "To condemn is to admit that they sent someone to secretly investigate, and with my relationship with Heaslow, they don't dare to tear their faces." ”

"The object is Char's Book, even the Great Sage Capital has to be cautious."

"Even the priest Rhodes has been defeated, the library is badly damaged, and as soon as the morning dawns, the news will spread all over the streets of Se'an and become the focus of people's discussion. The whole of Sean became my witness, and the Great Sage could only believe that Char's Book had been stolen, and even if he doubted it, it would be useless. I have to feel sorry for them, I finally found out that the three are in my hands, and now I am in the unknown again. ”

"It is worthy of Lord Rhodes, even if it is a transaction, it can be used to get rid of the tracking of the Great Holy Capital and avoid a crisis."

"What can be used must be used to the end. However, this book of Char has been in my hands for many years, and I am really a little reluctant. ”

"For the people in the church, Char's book is a hot potato."

Rod turned his face to look at Mr. G: "It's a hot potato, and it's also a treasure." ”

Mr. G responded by leaning slightly in respect.

"By the way, does Mr. G know that the young swordsman is a contractor?"

"Ha, how could it be, I'm not a contractor. Adults also know that I have always been very accurate in seeing people, and those children are capable, driven, and not deeply involved in the world, and such people are the most suitable for use. ”

Rod took out the broken necklace in his coat pocket, looked at the neat cut marks on it and said, "It's still tender, but it has a lot of potential, it's a pity to die now." After saying that, he raised his eyes to look at Mr. G, "You know what I mean, right?" ”

"Of course." Mr. G smiled and nodded, "Then, thank Lord Priest for patronizing the Moby Dick Chamber of Commerce again, and the deal is complete." ”

When the people were about to leave, Rhodes suddenly spoke: "Does the Moby Dick Chamber of Commerce really not know who revealed the news that I have the Book of Char?" ”

Mr. G, who had already taken a few steps, half-turned, and under his fur hat was the usual merchant smile: "The business scope of the Moby Dick Chamber of Commerce is only related to history, and we are historical merchants, right?" ”

"Nature." Rhodes made a "please" gesture, "God willing." ”

"God willing." Mr. G nodded slightly, and quickly disappeared behind the heavy curtain.

Hiding from the arriving soldier guards and church guards, Arthur and the others fled into the middle of nowhere, sheltered in the night, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they could not hear any sound.

Seeing that the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, the tall man who had been secretly following walked out, and it was the mysterious person who led them to the Moby Dick Chamber of Commerce.

All three sensed that he had been following, and neither Werther nor Nayin said anything, only Arthur showed an unhappy expression.

"Now, hand over Char's Book." The man stretched out his hand under the cloak.

Arthur took a step forward and stretched out his hand at the same angle as the other party: "What should I be given something?" ”

"I don't trust the Moby Dick Chamber of Commerce, and I really don't know anything." The man sneered, but seeing Arthur's determined eyes, his outstretched hand returned to the cloak, took out a wooden box the size of a book, and reached over again, "The things of the High Priest of Zait, is this okay?" ”

Arthur raised his face slightly, and Werther took out the cloth-wrapped Book of Char from his waist bag and handed it over.

Arthur handed Char's Book in one hand and the wooden box in the other, and immediately took a step back when he got the thing.

After the man confirmed, he put the book in his cloak and said, "The transaction is complete, and when the remaining two things arrive, someone will naturally contact you." Rest assured, it won't be too long. Well, thanks for patronizing the Beluga Chamber of Commerce, goodbye. ”

As soon as the person turned around, Arthur stuck out his tongue and grimaced, and when the person walked away, he exhaled heavily, with a bitter face, and said in a long tone: "Ahhhh ”

Seeing Arthur sigh repeatedly, Witt comforted: "It's very important to you, isn't it, it's not bad to be experienced, not everyone can have the opportunity to fight against the priest, and the first time to fight with the contractor, that's a valuable experience." ”

Witt knew that Arthur was worried that the trade with the Moby Dick Chamber of Commerce would put himself and Nain in danger, so he wanted to dispel his thoughts, but before he could finish what he wanted to say, Arthur stuck out his tongue at him and grimaced, and Witt immediately swallowed back the words he had thought of and changed them to a helpless sentence: "Stinky boy." ”
