Having just returned from Bishop Nelson's mansion, Leo was about to take his little girlfriend to his room for a good time, but a sudden arrival of a guest disrupted his plans.

"Bishop Leslie is visiting?" Leo frowned, and after a moment said, "Then take him to the living room." ”

After a while, Leo met the cardinal.

To be honest, Leo is not familiar with Bishop Leslie, before the identity of "Bishop Gavin" Lucifer was revealed, Leo only knew that Bishop Leslie belonged to one of the seven cardinals on his side, and after the death of Pope Enhill, Bishop Nelson pulled up the divisive banner and Leo openly fought against Bishop Nelson.

Now that Bishop Nelson is dead, what is the meaning of Bishop Leslie, who has once again lost his patron? Surrender, negotiation, or even a blatant declaration of war?

Leo met with Bishop Leslie with doubts.

Bishop Leslie was a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, with a gentle smile on his face all the year round, a bulging beer belly and a fat figure that obviously seemed quite in line with what a man of his age should look like, summed up in eight words - pampered and pot-bellied.

If it weren't for the fact that he was wearing the cardinal's red robe, Leo would have thought that he was facing a big merchant from the business district of Ridmar City.

After some unnutritious politeness and pleasantries, Leo felt that it was time to get to the point: "I wonder what Bishop Leslie is here for today?" ”

Bishop Leslie smiled slightly, and I have to say that even this smile is the same as those profiteers, which looks very gentle, but in fact it is hypocritical and philistine: "I won't tell you the truth, Lord Leo, in fact, I, Leslie, have come here today to persuade you of one thing." ”

"Oh?" Leo's face deliberately showed a look of surprise: "So what is it?" ”

Bishop Leslie coughed, cleared his throat, and said to Leo very seriously: "Presumably, Lord Leo also knows that since Bishop Gavin's return to the heavenly realm, our Church of Light has been leaderless, and tens of millions of believers are very likely to become scattered in the absence of a leader. So I'm here to hope that Lord Leo can stand up at this moment and heroically assume the responsibility of this leader, although I, Leslie, am not talented, but I am also willing to cheer for Lord Leo and do what I can personally. ”

Leo narrowed his eyes slightly, a smile appeared on his face, if Leo still didn't understand Bishop Leslie's words at this time, it would be a fool, it was obvious that this Bishop Leslie came this time, he wanted to come to Leo's side!

This made Leo want to complain a little in his heart: "His sister, why didn't you come when Bishop Nelson didn't die before, and now that Bishop Nelson is dead, you know to find a backer again?" It's just a two-and-five-year-old. ”

But complaining and complaining, Leo thought again: "But it is a good thing for Bishop Leslie to choose to come to me at this time, in this way, four of the five bishops who are still alive are already on my side, so it can be said that the overall situation has been decided." And the three bishops who were originally on my side are not sure if they will be bought by the entropy demon, so it seems that it is not bad to have more Bishop Leslie alone, and it can play a role in case of emergency. ”

After thinking about it, Leo also had a plan in his heart, and now he put a smile on his face, and smiled at Bishop Leslie: "Lord Leslie, this is a fallacy, I think I'm only twenty years old, and my qualifications can't be put on the table, so I was lucky to get the favor of the Supreme God of Light, and I am already sincerely afraid of my status now, where do I dare to have any delusions about the Pope's throne?" ”

Bishop Leslie snorted and said, "I don't agree with Lord Leo's words, as the saying goes, the older ones are not necessarily the ones who are talented, and the truly talented people should not be bound by such things as age and seniority. And don't forget, Lord Leo, in the history of our church, there have been several His Majesty who took over the papal throne in their early twenties, so Lord Leo is naturally fully qualified for the position of pope. I don't care about other people's attitudes, but I, Leslie, support Leo absolutely and unreservedly. ”

This could not have been more obvious, so the smile on Leo's face became even stronger, and he stretched out his hand to Bishop Leslie, and said, "In that case, then I think I will have to rely on Lord Leslie's help in the future." ”

Bishop Leslie also stretched out his hand with a smile on his face, and shook Leo's hand heavily: "How dare you, Leslie only hopes that under the leadership of His Majesty Leo, Leslie can make a small contribution to the cause of light, and serve the tens of millions of light believers in the continent, so that Leslie will not be in vain." ”

The two looked at each other and laughed, but it is unknown how much of this laughter was sincere.

It stands to reason that this should be said and said, and it seems that the meeting should be brought to a successful conclusion, but Bishop Leslie did not leave, but sat down and continued to talk with Leo about some innocuous topics.

Chatting about this, Bishop Leslie seemed to ask casually: "Lord Leo, where is Lord Cheetos, why haven't you seen him?" ”

Leo laughed, "Lord Cheeto, he's out on business." ”

"Out?" Bishop Leslie's eyes suddenly flashed with an essence, and this essence flashed away, so that Leo, who was sitting opposite him, did not even notice this change in Bishop Leslie's expression.

The two of them chatted for a while, but Leo soon realized that something was wrong, for for some reason Bishop Leslie's face began to show frequent hesitation, and he became often distracted when he spoke, and even sometimes spoke a little upside down and did not know what to do.

Just when Leo felt that it was becoming more and more impossible to talk this day, Bishop Leslie seemed to finally make up his mind, glanced at the empty hall except for himself and Leo, and asked Leo softly, "Lord Leo, are you sure that no one is eavesdropping on our conversation right now?" ”

Leo couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart, this is the Inquisition, okay, how can anyone dare to eavesdrop on the conversation in such a place? Moreover, you must know that the second adjudicator in the Inquisition is now ordered to act as a personal bodyguard by Leo's side, and any cat or dog will definitely not be able to hide the sight of this Sanctuary assassin if he comes in.

So Leo nodded with great certainty: "Bishop Leslie don't worry, if you have something to say, please speak directly, I guarantee that absolutely no one nearby can eavesdrop on our conversation." ”

"That's good." Bishop Leslie took a few deep breaths, and then said to Leo with some difficulty, "Lord Leo, to tell you the truth, it was actually the Entropy Demon who sent me. ”
