The news of Bishop Gavin's arrival immediately reached Leo's ears as quickly as possible. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Coming?" Although he was mentally prepared, when Leo heard the news, his heart still trembled involuntarily, and he had a feeling of weakness and delusion that he had been discovered by the teacher for cheating in the exam. But at this point, escape was completely impossible, so upon learning the news, Leo immediately stood up and went downstairs as fast as he could to meet the big man from the Holy See, Cardinal Gavin.

Although Leo had guessed in his mind about Bishop Gavin's appearance when he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep last night, he couldn't help but be taken aback when he actually stood in front of the cardinal.

This veritable top figure of the Church of Light did not bring any of his followers, but drove the carriage himself. And judging from the dirty white monastic robes on Bishop Gavin's body, the cardinal should not have any other spare clothes.

If it weren't for Bishop Gavin's presentation of the Holy See token, Leo would have suspected that the bald old man in front of him would be an imposter like himself.

And this cardinal is obviously only one person, so as long as he comes on horseback, why should he drive himself? A suspicion flashed through Leo's mind, but the thought was cast aside by Leo in an instant.

"Antonidas Prol, Diocese of Varna, Diocese of Galognia, see Bishop Gavin." Leo respectfully bowed to Bishop Gavin, following the rules of behavior of the middle and lower subordinates of the Church of Light when meeting with their superiors.

Bishop Gavin smiled and stretched out his hand to help Leo: "I heard that Bishop Antonidas is not only young and handsome, but also has a devout belief in the God of Light. ”

"Where, where." Leo hurriedly humbled up: "I have only done a small amount of work personally, mainly thanks to the wise leadership of His Majesty the Pope and Archbishop Gavin, as well as the cooperation of my colleagues and devout disciples in the diocese of Varna, which has made me such a small achievement today. Lord Gavin, this way, please. ”

At the moment when the two made physical contact, a small bulging bag was quietly transferred from Leo's hand to Bishop Gavin's hand, containing two hundred gold coins, which were part of the money Leo received after selling the two pieces of magical equipment he had seized earlier.

When the money bag was stuffed into Bishop Gavin's hand, the cardinal was slightly stunned at first, and then quietly put the money bag into the cuffs of the wide white monk's robe, and the smile on his face did not feel a little thicker.

Money is easy to do, this has almost become an unwritten rule in the Church of Light today.

The two of them were polite and came to the reception room on the second floor of the cathedral.

The hot tea was quickly served, and the door was gently shut, leaving only Leo and Bishop Gavin in the reception room.

Bishop Gavin sat leisurely on the throne that originally belonged to Leo, sipping his tea, and didn't seem to mean to speak immediately. Due to his identity, Leo, who is a subordinate, can only honestly bow his head and stand in front of Bishop Gavin. It was for this reason that Leo suddenly discovered something strange from Bishop Gavin's body.

The cardinal had a sword hanging from his waist.

Although Leo didn't see the blade in the scabbard with a clairing eye, judging from the black scabbard with a unique shape and a strong sense of antiquity, the sword inside was definitely not ordinary. Judging from the three big characters carved on the scabbard, the name of this sword seems to be called - Sky Breaking Sword.

That's a bit weird. Although a cardinal does not have to be a powerful cultivator, almost every cardinal who is a cultivator is a sorcerer by profession like Leo, and this is due to the cardinal's own clerical tendencies. Leo really hadn't heard of a cardinal who had ever used a sword.

This discovery adds to the mystery that Bishop Gavin has in Leo's mind.

"You like to use a sword?" Bishop Gavin, apparently spotting Leo's gaze, asked in a very gentle tone.

"Huh?" Leo, who was discovered, immediately shook his head and said with some embarrassment: "Lord Hui, I am a magician, and I am not good at close combat. ”

Bishop Gavin smiled, and the cardinal's smile was very gentle, making people feel like a spring breeze: "Actually, I don't like to use a sword either, this sword was given to me by a friend last night. Bishop Gavin suddenly reached out and untied the Sky Breaking Sword from his waist, and put the sword that was in the hands of Lynch, a powerhouse in the Sanctuary not long ago, on the table in front of Leo: "I remember that the name of your personal guard should be Darwin, right?" If you like it, give it to him. ”

"How does this work!" Leo was taken aback, and immediately excused himself again and again: "Lord Gavin, please take back your fate!" With such a great sword, I think only you, Lord Gavin, can be worthy of him. ”

Leo is not stupid, although the cardinal in front of him looks weird and weird, he is definitely a human spirit in his bones, otherwise he would not have climbed to such a high position as a cardinal. A person like this can't do anything without a purpose, just like this Sky-Breaking Sword can't be given to him for free. If Leo accepts the sword, then it will be equivalent to owing Bishop Gavin a favor.

Owe this old fox a favor? This kind of favor is not so easy to pay off, and I am afraid that when the favor is repaid, Leo will not have to pay the same price as a sword in front of him, and the reward demanded by Bishop Gavin at that time will definitely give Leo a headache, maybe if he is not good, he will lose his life! Therefore, Leo would never do such a thing.

"Are you afraid of owing me a favor?" Bishop Gavin actually understood Leo's thoughts, and couldn't help but smile; "I learned about your past before I came, and from your experiences, although you are still very young, you have surpassed many of your peers in terms of how you behave and what you think, and you can be called a model of youth and old age. Therefore, I do not think, nor do I hope that I will be able to gain your friendship with this mere sword, because you can take it with confidence. ”

After a pause, Bishop Gavin glanced at Leo meaningfully, and asked slowly, "Do you think what I just said is right?" Leo. ”

Leo only felt a chill suddenly surging from the soles of his feet, and the morning sun was shining warmly on his body in the summer, but at this moment, Leo seemed to be standing alone in the ice and snow of the far north, and his whole body was covered with bone-chilling cold.

He called me Leo?

He even called me Leo!
