In the side nave, a cardinal dressed in red was already waiting there.

"How is it, dear Urban, my friend, the disciple I recommended to you is not bad, right?" said the cardinal when he saw Urban.

"I saw this boy years ago!" Urban replied.

"Oh, you've seen this boy?" The cardinal was amazed.

"Bynum, do you remember what happened five years ago when I escorted you to the diocese of Baden?" said Urban.

"Of course I do!" Bynum nodded.

Five years ago, Bynum, still a purple bishop, was sent by the Holy See to Baden Province to serve as Archbishop of Baden. Later, the Assassins attacked and were captured by Urban to interrogate the news that a demon altar would be born in the city of Faun in the province of Baden. Those believers tried to resurrect the demons sacrificed at the altar of demons, but they were afraid of being detected by the Holy See, so they wanted to assassinate Bynum and cause chaos in the diocese of Baden in order to facilitate their actions. After receiving the results of the interrogation, Urban immediately went to the Barony of Nochi, the place where the demon altar was born, to investigate, but to no avail. Urban had planned to return and re-interrogate the Assassin, but the Assassin died in prison for no apparent reason, and the matter was closed.

"You mean, that young man is the son of the baron of the Barony you visited when you searched for the Demon Altar in Faun City?"

"That's right, I also taught him the crude Dou Qi cultivation method at that time!"

"That's right, it seems that you guys are quite fateful, I didn't help you find fault with your disciple!"

"After he entered the Augustan Academy, he did well and caught my attention early. I did want to recruit him into the Radiant Crusaders, but I never thought of taking him as an apprentice. Bynum, why do you want me to take him as an apprentice?"

"Urban, you don't seem to be very satisfied with this disciple, can you tell me why?"

"Character!" Urban frowned, "When I first saw him five years ago, he may have been a piece of gold and jade, with a pure heart, but now I don't see it all. Although I am at odds with Marshal Harris, to be fair, this kid has gone too far in the matter of Marshal Harris's niece, and has violated the rules of knighthood, which makes me disdainful! As a general, I welcome such soldiers, but as a teacher, I don't like such disciples!"

"Hehe, Urban, people outside don't know the inside story, don't we still know? The young man and girl who were originally in love with each other, one was a dilapidated country noble, and the other was a powerful person in the imperial capital, and because of the political marriage of the woman's family, he was beaten with a stick! On the night when the Purifying Light Array was activated, when I found this kid on the street, he was covered in injuries. Later, after the Heywood family came to ask the boy to leave, Robonia begged me to continue to heal the boy!

"But he did use force on a woman!"

"Two young people in the same room are the easiest to do firewood, and men are always a little more impulsive than women in this regard!"

"Why do I think you sympathize with him? Oh, I almost forgot your reputation as a 'Merry Bishop' and your 'glorious' deeds! Bynum, you can't have seen the shadow of your youth in this kid, do you?"

"Ahem, my dear friend, you are really good at laughing! Where was I like him when I was young?" Bynum coughed violently, trying to hide his embarrassment.

"Forget it, I don't want to expose your old story, let's not talk about this! You haven't answered the reason why you want me to take him as an apprentice!"

"Haven't you always wanted to find a disciple, I heard that this guy's swordsmanship is good, so I recommend it to you!"

"You say it's 'recommended', but I can hear the 'must' in your tone!"

"Hehe, you can refuse!"

"Bynum, you and I have been friends for many years, and this is the first time you have asked me. Although I don't really like this kid, since you have spoken, for your sake, I will not refuse. But I want to know the real reason, the reason you just said, do you think I'm going to believe it?"

Bynum hesitated for a long time before he said, "It's Cardinal Grant's meaning!"

Urban was surprised, "Lord Grant, why does he want me to take this kid as an apprentice?"

"Well, I really don't know!" Bynum smiled bitterly, "Lord Grant didn't say why, so I don't want to ask, after all, he is one of the three vice-presidents of the College of Cardinals, and he is my immediate boss." Although you are the vice-head of the Knights Templar and are under the authority of the Holy See, your position is a vacant position. Your true authority comes from the Radiant Crusaders. Although the Holy Radiance Crusaders accepted the dual leadership of the Holy See and the Empire, they were generally more secular and attached more importance to the Imperial orders. Therefore, Lord Grant is not going to use his teaching position to press you. He knew that I had a good relationship with you, so he asked me to be a lobbyist, and he asked me to make sure it happened!"

Urban frowned slightly, Cardinal Grant had just left Catalan for a few days, and it seemed that he wanted to solve his doubts, so he could only wait for him to return to Cataloland.

"How's the investigation about the demon's invasion of Catalan and the activation of the Purifying Light Circle?" "Urban stopped asking about his apprentices, and instead asked about one of the most talked about things in Catalan City lately.

"No progress!" Bynum shook his head.

"There wasn't a single witness to the movement that day?" said Urbanch.

"No! I was the first person to arrive at the scene, and it turned out that the entire street was hypnotized with mental power, and no one knew what was happening on the street! In addition, according to the investigation after the incident, in addition to the eight mercenaries who died at the scene, two other mercenaries also appeared at the scene. Three days ago, the Holy See had finally found the two mercenaries, but they had turned into cold corpses. It is believed that the time of death should have been the night of the Purifying Light Circle, which means that they were killed shortly after fleeing the scene.

Speaking of this, Bynum glanced at Urban deeply and said, "Actually, the new disciple you recruited was also the object of the Holy See's key suspicions, but the Holy See failed to find anything related to the demon in him. Later, the Heywood family came to ask for someone, and the Holy See handed him over as a favor! Now I have a guess, maybe there is something really wrong with your disciple! Lord Grant wants you to take him as an apprentice, maybe it is the common meaning of the adults of the Holy See, it just so happens that you are both sword learners, let him learn sword with you, sooner or later he will show his feet in front of you?"

"Impossible!" Urban directly denied Bynum's speculation: "There are two reasons: first, if the Holy See really has such an arrangement, it will definitely greet me in advance! Second, I have no intention of keeping him by my side for a long time, and he will soon be sent to the northern grasslands!"

"You sent him to orc territory, and why?" asked Bynum, looking surprised.

"Military secrets, no comment!" said Urban, lightly.

Bynum nodded, in understanding, and didn't ask any more questions.

"Regardless of whether there is a problem with that kid or not, since Master Grant has arranged for you to be a disciple, it must have a deep meaning. Aside from anything else, that kid is at least good at kendo, and I don't think it's a bad thing that he's hurt by love in a sense!" Bynumpin argued.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Only by having no distractions can you concentrate more on sword training and achieve extraordinary achievements! Isn't the highest state pursued by your swordsmen 'there is nothing but the sword'? Urban, I have seen in you the best interpretation of this realm, you are over forty years old, but you insist on refusing to marry a wife and have children, and are only obsessed with the way of the sword. You must know that you are the hottest diamond king in Catalan City! As long as you relax on the matter of marrying a wife, I am afraid that the threshold of the Holy Radiance Crusader camp will be trampled by matchmakers from all walks of life in an instant!"
