CHAPTER XXI
For a magician, praying and practicing magic is almost all there is to life. Leo, on the other hand, www.biquge.info the author of "Fun", because he did not have the slightest belief in the God of Light in his heart, it was naturally impossible to ask him to sincerely pray three times a day in the morning, noon, and night. Therefore, in addition to traveling and eating, Leo devoted all his time to cultivating divine arts.
As the saying goes, Leo is born from the heart, and Leo has a holy pill in his heart, so after five nights of cultivation, when Leo was tidying up his appearance by the small lake outside Varna City, he found that his temperament had changed slightly: "Make no mistake, why does it feel like I should have been mature with melancholy, and wisdom mixed with vicissitudes of life, and now I look a bit like a magic stick?" Nineteen-year-old Leo touched his nose in confusion and looked at the reflection in the water and fell into contemplation for three seconds.
But this is not bad news, for a magical apprentice who is deeply influenced by the magical knowledge system, the so-called god stick temperament is of course completely intolerable. But for a magician who is about to impersonate the Cardinal in Blue, such a temperament is indeed more than good, and it is impossible to ask for it.
Leo was slightly relieved, loosened the tight neckline of the monastic robe that Darwin had "borrowed" from a monastery on the road, and then turned to walk towards the temple warrior behind him, who was already waiting impatiently. The city of Varna was in front of his eyes, less than half an hour away.
Half an hour later, Leo led Darwin into the city of Varna, and although he was questioned a little as he entered the city because of the unfamiliar faces of the two men and Darwin's undisguised sword hanging from his waist, all problems became no longer a problem after Leo revealed his identity - this identity was certainly not Prona's magic apprentice, but the Bishop of Varna.
Although he already has some understanding of Varna City, when his footsteps really set foot on the land of this city, when his eyes clearly see the grass and trees in the city, Leo still has a trace of disappointment in his heart: "This city is too small, I don't think it's much bigger than the town in my hometown." ”
Darwin shrugged his shoulders and did not speak. Leo sighed, and was about to ask for the address of the church from the side of the road, but Darwin reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and then pointed in a certain direction in front of him. Leo followed Darwin's finger and saw a white building, which was only visible to the circular vault at the very top, but that was enough. Five minutes later, Leo and Darwin were standing in front of Varna Cathedral.
Although the church has a "big" in its name, it is actually just a small four-story building with a square dome. Even so, it is already the tallest building in Varna. In the square in front of the church, there is a two-person statue carved with an angel holding a sword in his left hand and a shield in his right, which looks like he is engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy, and three pairs of wings fluttering behind the angel's back, which looks lifelike.
Walk through this small square from the side of the angel statue and climb dozens of steps to the main entrance of Varna Cathedral. "Strange," Leo looked at the church door in front of him, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice, "Why did you close the door in broad daylight?" After knocking on the door a few times, Leo, who didn't get the slightest response, simply pushed open the somewhat heavy door and stepped inside.
With the creak of the door, the interior of the Varna Church is revealed to Leo. In front of the hall was neatly arranged rows of benches, at the end of the benches was the preaching stand used for preaching and preaching, the windows around were wiped very clean, and the sunlight poured into the hall through the glass, bringing a touch of life to this room full of solemnity and solemnity. Leo suddenly had a feeling in his heart that this place hadn't been used in a while.
"What people!" A shout suddenly entered Leo's mind, pulling back his originally somewhat distracted thoughts. Leo subconsciously looked in the direction where the voice came from, and just saw a middle-aged man in a monastic robe glaring at him, obviously taking the two of them for uninvited intruders. "Someone finally showed up." Leo couldn't help but touch his nose, and a big smile appeared on his face: "That-me, I'm your new bishop here." ”
"Oh?" The middle-aged man was stunned when he heard this, and a suspicious expression appeared on his face: "The news from above is that it will take at least two days for Lord Bishop to arrive, how can you prove that you are the new Lord Bishop?" ”
Leo didn't say much, he took out his letter of appointment and handed it over, although this letter of appointment was only a thin piece of paper, but it was stamped with a seal of appointment from the Holy See, and the rich divine aura emanating from it could not be faked at all. It was the middle-aged man who quickly confirmed Leo's identity and bowed: "Varna Parish priest Lothar, I have seen Lord Bishop. ”
"Pastor?" Leo's eyes froze slightly, and he carefully looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Pastor Lothar doesn't have to be polite. "The priest is generally responsible for the preaching and development of the faithful in the diocese, and is one of the middle leaders of the diocese, and is a very important helper for the Bishop in Blue.
Lothar got up, and then said to Leo, "Please wait here for a while, and I'll go and gather the others to come and meet your lord." After speaking, he didn't wait for Leo to reply, and went straight away. This man is a straight man. Leo couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at Lothar's back, which had disappeared in an instant.
Lothar's efficiency was okay, and soon people came to the hall one after another. Varna Cathedral is not large, and there are not many people in it, and there are only about 20 people in total. With the exception of the ten Knights Cathar, most of the others were helpers. "Wait, what about the deacon?" After everyone had gathered and been introduced, Leo suddenly asked his subordinates.
The deacon is another middle leader in the diocese, with the same status as the priest, who is mainly responsible for the day-to-day affairs and operation of the diocese.
Leo originally just asked casually, after all, he came early, and it was normal for the deacon to go out for something. Unexpectedly, under this question, everyone in the church, including Pastor Lothar, looked at each other and didn't know what to say. But Leo is not a fool, and he can't see that these subordinates don't know, but they don't want to tell themselves. Leo, who looked at everything in his eyes, couldn't help sneering in his heart, and was about to make a show of official authority on the spot, when someone suddenly brought him a message.
"Viscount Juan asked me to have dinner at the Viscount's Palace?" Leo looked at the invitation in front of him and couldn't help frowning slightly.
