Chapter 22
As the supreme leader of the Varna Cathedral and the entire Varna Parish, Leo deservedly acquired the best room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis room, which originally belonged to the former bishop, was covered with a soft carpet floor, followed by a large and comfortable sofa and a velvet bed, and a mahogany desk, which was as good as the rest of the furniture, and from the window it overlooked the city of Varna. The extravagance and extravagance that are revealed everywhere can be said to be very different from the simple appearance.
Although the impersonation scheme has been an initial success so far, and some upright priests of Lothar obviously do not know Anthony and believe Leo's identity just because of the letter of appointment, Leo does not have any joy in his heart, but a little more irritability in his heart. If the deacon, who seems to be a little mysterious at the moment, is not a big deal, then this Viscount Juan who sent the invitation has a big problem in Leo's heart.
The reason why I say this is because the invitation is so fast! Leo even suspected that as soon as he entered the city on his front foot, some of the guards guarding the city gate on his back foot had run to the Viscount's Mansion to deliver the letter, otherwise the invitation in his hand would not have been delivered to him so quickly. Then this can only mean one thing - Viscount Juan must have already greeted the guards in advance, telling them to pay attention to the new Blue Cardinal.
Although Leo didn't know why the lord was paying attention to the new blue-coated cardinal, in fact, although the bishop's jurisdiction and the lord's territory overlapped most of the time, the vast majority of lords and bishops kept the well water in a state that did not interfere with the river water.
In view of the recent increase in the distance of the emperors from the Church, it is only natural that the lords who are firmly on the side of the royal family have shunned the bishops, even to the point that in recent years many bishops have not met with the lords in their jurisdictions from their inauguration to their departure.
In this context, the significance of our lord, Viscount Juan of Varna City, who sent the invitation in the first place, is very worthy of scrutiny. In Leo's opinion, there are only two reasons why this viscount did this, the first is that this viscount has something very important that must be discussed with the new bishop as soon as possible, but Leo does not think that anything can be so urgent.
The second reason is the source of Leo's real concern, and that is that this Viscount Juan may know the real Bishop Anthony! Given that they are both nobles and the speed with which the invitations are delivered, the two may still have a close relationship!
The more Leo thought about it, the more worried he became, he was sure to go to the appointment, so if this second reason came true, the exposure of his identity would have become inevitable, so wouldn't this impersonation mission just start and be forced to end immediately?
Although Leo's heart prefers to find a place to practice the magic recorded in Lemuel's Book in his hand with peace of mind, rather than coming here to be some kind of Rausch bishop. But there is no doubt that if he refuses to pretend to be Anthony, let alone the mysterious powerhouse Lei Feng who can kill the holy ascetic Ambrossi, I am afraid that the temple warrior Darwin who signed a soul slavery contract with Lei Feng will turn his face and act with him as soon as possible.
At this time, he only had the strength of a first-level sorcerer, of course, he could never be the opponent of the middle-level temple warrior Darwin, so he had to come and pretend to be Anthony, who had died in the Lito Mountains. But what if your identity is revealed? In view of the ruthless methods of the Holy See of Light against blasphemers and heretics, Leo is very sure that he will face the pursuit of those terrifying inquisitors from the Inquisition, not to mention a mere middle-level warrior Darwin, and even whether Lei Feng behind Darwin can save himself is a big question.
All in all, whether it's Lei Feng or the church, both sides are behemoths that we can't afford to provoke our new young magician, Leo. But Leo had to be caught between the two for himself, and no matter which side he offended, it was a dead word. "Alas, I knew I would have hanged myself in the Lito Mountains at that time." Leo couldn't help but sigh.
"Idiot." Darwin, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"Huh?" Leo couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at the temple warrior with a puzzled gaze.
"I mean, you're just an idiot." Darwin looked at Leo with disdain: "If that Viscount Juan really sees through your identity, then he just needs to quietly send a letter to the Holy See, and then wait for the adjudicator to come and kill the two of us together, why send this invitation so much?" Darwin's tone, though scathing, was to the point.
"That's right!" Leo couldn't help but pat his thigh, the worry in his heart instantly dissipated without a trace, and his face couldn't help but laugh: "Why didn't I think of it?" ”
"To use a proverb from my hometown, you're called a fan of the authorities." After saying this, the temple warrior sitting on the couch transformed back into a statue that could not speak. Leo, who was in a good mood, ignored Darwin, but walked out of the door and beckoned a church handyman who happened to be passing by: "You go and help me get the priest of Lothar." ”
Soon the priest of Lothar came to Leo's room, the priest who seemed to be a little straight seemed to be busy with something, his face was full of sweat, and after entering the door, he saluted Leo: "May I ask the bishop, what is the calling?" ”
Although from the expression on Lothar's face, he was a little dissatisfied with Leo's sudden summoning, but Leo did not feel sorry for it, but appreciated the middle-aged priest's straightness even more. In any case, this kind of subordinate who writes everything in his face is better than the guy who is loyal on the surface but is actually going to stab you secretly at any time, isn't it?
Therefore, our Bishop's tone was quite gentle: "Pastor Lothar, I have come to you this time to learn more about our lord, Viscount Juan. ”
"Lord Viscount?" Lothar was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Leo to ask this question, but he quickly replied, "I wonder what you want to learn from me, Lord Bishop?" In fact, because of his busy schedule, I don't know much about him. ”
"Busy?" Leo couldn't help but sneer in his heart, if he was not mistaken, a thin layer of dust had fallen on the pulpit in the church hall, which was obviously not evidence of his busy business for the priest Lothar, who was in charge of the ministry. Coupled with the secretive attitude when asked about the deacon now—hmph, it seems that this straight pastor is actually hiding something from himself.
But Leo knew in his heart that this was not the time to care about this, so his tone was still very gentle: "Just tell me everything you know." ”
"Okay." Lothar nodded, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Lord Viscount was sealed here two years ago, and in the past two years, he has done a lot of good things for Varna City, defeated the gangsters in the city, put many scum in prison, and also reduced many of the harsh taxes of the previous lord, in general, the people here think that this young viscount is a rare good lord." ”
"That's all?" Leo waited for a while and found that there was no more to come, so he asked.
"That's all." Lothar nodded.
Leo pondered for a moment before he spoke, "Then you go and get busy." ”
Lothar answered, and withdrew.
"Gone, Darwin." Shortly after Lothar walked out of the room, Leo got up from his chair.
"Where are you going?" Darwin asked.
"Let's see if our straight pastor is telling the truth." Leo laughed.
