The moon is in the middle of the day. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

A horse-drawn carriage was parked lonely in the roadside forest without a village or a shop, and next to the carriage was a small burning fire, on which was the hind legs of an animal, and the burning of the flame made the grease fall into the fire drop by drop, making a sizzling sound.

Next to the fire, there was a man in a white monastic robe, about fifty years old, this man was not very tall, and his brown hair was very thin, revealing the top of Cheng Guangwa's head. The man sat cross-legged by the fire, muttering words and a copy of the Church's Book of Oracles rested squarely on his knees, as if he were praying before a meal.

A breeze blew through the fire, and the flames trembled, and just after this gust of wind blew, suddenly there was a man next to the fire, a man in gray clothes and green hats.

"You're here." The man in white who was praying slowly opened his eyes, and he didn't seem surprised at all.

"Since you're here, of course I'm coming." Lei Feng sat down on the other side of the fire, reached out and tore off a piece of meat from the hind leg that had been roasted to exude a burst of fragrance on the fire, and threw it into his mouth: "Wild porcupine, still young, the meat is tender enough, not bad." But I have to say that your roasting skills are as bad as ever, Gavin. ”

The man in white, bald, and holding a book of oracles in his hand was Gavin, one of the twelve cardinals of the Church of Light.

Gavin smiled slightly, obviously unimpressed by Lei Feng's sarcasm: "Your mouth is also so mean and unforgiving, old friend. It doesn't matter if the meat is roasted well or not, the important thing is that it can be filled. ”

"Humph!" Lei Feng sneered, and seemed to be unimpressed with Gavin's statement: "Then you should go and eat pig food every day, instead of taking burnt porcupine pork here to entertain old friends who haven't seen you for many years." Having said that, Lei Feng still reached out and ripped off a large piece of porcupine pork again, and wiped it out after a few moments.

Lei Feng's words made Gavin suddenly fall silent, and the cardinal standing at the top of the church's power hierarchy looked at the figure in front of him under the gray cloak and green hat, and his tone suddenly carried a hint of nostalgia: "We shouldn't have seen each other for twenty years, old friend." ”

"Twenty-seven years." Lei Feng corrected Gavin's words, then ignored the scorching flames and the smoking grease, and reached out again to rip off a large piece of porcupine. "We haven't seen each other since we graduated."

"Twenty-seven years?" Bishop Gavin was obviously a little surprised by this answer, and after a long time he let out a long sigh: "So much time has passed. ”

Lei Feng nodded, and there was no obvious sarcasm in his words: "It seems that you have forgotten all other things over the years except for fighting for power and slapping Enhill's sycophants. ”

Such a disrespectful sentence to His Majesty Enhill, the current Pope of the Church of Light, came out of Lei Feng's mouth so easily, and there was a cardinal sitting opposite him.

"Slap on the back?" Gavin couldn't help but laugh, picked up the Book of Oracles in his hand, and gestured to Lei Feng: "You should know that I have always been only interested in following the footsteps of the Supreme Light God, and everything else is just a floating cloud in the sky for me. ”

"Really?" There was obviously a hint of doubt in Lei Feng's words: "If you are indeed as you say, you are only obsessed with the doctrine of the Supreme Light God, then how did you become a member of the cardinals?" As far as I know, there is only one criterion for becoming a cardinal, and that is that it must be the old immortal dog of Enhill. ”

This sentence not only scolded Pope Enhill, but even the twelve cardinals, including Bishop Gavin. But Bishop Gavin still didn't seem angry, and just shook his head again: "That's because Pope Enhill suddenly discovered recently that instead of finding some dogs who are obedient on the surface but actually secretly doing some small things, it is better to let me be a hands-off shopkeeper who doesn't pay attention to anything other than the scriptures." Speaking of this, a smile suddenly appeared on Bishop Gavin's face: "But to be honest, every time I have a meeting with His Majesty the Pope, I have to sit upright, and this old waist is really uncomfortable after a long time." ”

Lei Feng under the hat was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "You really haven't changed, Gavin." ”

"You're wrong old friend, I did change." Bishop Gavin carefully put the Book of Oracles aside, then reached out and grabbed a piece of porcupine and stuffed it into his mouth, winking at Lei Feng by the way: "I'm getting old." ”

Lei Feng was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but let out a laugh.

"Alright." Although Bishop Gavin didn't look fat, he was torn off when he ate, and he ate the piece of pork on the shelf, which was as much as five or six catties, and wiped his mouth with the sleeve of his white robe by the way, and then raised his head and smiled at Lei Feng: "I think you shouldn't have come to this wilderness in the middle of the night to talk to me, tell me your purpose, old friend." ”

The reminiscence is over.

"Good." Lei Feng nodded, straight to the point: "Judging from the Holy See's operation within the Spany Empire for so many years, I think you should have figured out Leo's identity, right?" ”

"That's right." Bishop Gavin also nodded very dryly and replied, "Both parents died, my uncle opened a bookstore, and he is a giftless magic apprentice, because he happened to run into the battle between you and Ambrossi, so he was chosen by you to be the host of Shengdan, right?" ”

"You've overlooked the fact that Leo is still a god, and I think his identity is obviously crucial to you in the Church of Light." Lei Feng Road.

"Divine Favorite?" An inexplicable smile suddenly appeared on Bishop Gavin's face: "Old friend, I think you and I know very well in our hearts that the true Divine Favor has already left Varna City. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lei Feng suddenly fell silent.

"Old friend, do you know why His Majesty the Pope has sent me," Bishop Gavin picked up the book of oracles again at some point, and gently rubbed the title page with his hand, "because my prayers are the only ones in the whole Holy See today that have ever been answered by the Most High God. ”

"What?" Lei Feng Huo Ran raised his head: "You are already able to communicate with the Supreme Light God?" ”

"No, you're mistaken, old friend." Bishop Gavin shook his head lightly: "I am just an insignificant speck of sand under the feet of the Supreme God of Light, and I am fortunate enough to have seen the great and endless brilliance of the gods. ”

"So that's the real reason why you were promoted to cardinal, right?" Lei Feng was silent for a while, and then said slowly.

"That's right." Bishop Gavin smiled mildly and said to Lei Feng, "That's why I can feel that the aura of the Divine Favor has gone away, but that's not really the point of today, right, my old friend." I think the real crux of our conversation is, how much are you going to pay to convince me that this little piece of your hand is trying to fool around in front of His Holiness the Pope? ”

A humid night breeze gently blew through the forest in the hills and mires, and the moisture in the air gradually increased a little more unconsciously, making the night even colder.
