6. Chop first, then play
The distance is gradually approaching, from a black spot in the distance to a distance that can almost see through the other person's heart. And they seem to have noticed the sneaky action, but ......
"Hoo ......"
After a sigh of relief, Freya didn't mind looking at the pursuers of the Inquisition, who she should have been hiding from.
The other party looked away as if to avoid suspicion, and no one had any suspicion about the "little girl" who suddenly looked at them in front of them. Sure enough, the arrival of these ombudsmen was just a "private action" without application, and if this is the case, it means that the matter of their "archbishop" in the Inquisition should still be in a state of lockdown.
If these were the ideas of the oracle, it seems that this time she is finally qualified to question her command. Whether she wanted to let her life go ahead of her life like this, or wanted to "solve" herself by letting her pursuers "solve" herself in a foreign land, these plans were too naΓ―ve for her.
Perhaps, it would be a good idea not to ask the oracle questions for the time being, and instead concentrate on rectifying these hapless Ombudsmen?
β¦β¦
"Your Excellency, you seem to have finally woken up."
Contact was only a face-to-face encounter, and after that, neither Freya nor Pandora wisely had no choice to continue looking. Superfluous observations will only turn the other person from hiding to alert.
After confirming that she had left the position where the other party would never hear and catch up, Pandora laughed as if she had reacquainted Freya, "It looks like the Inquisition is still a little saved." So. Your Excellency the Bishop. What did you just see? β
"Machine spirits. This time, the pursuer sent was a machine spirit. β
Although it was only a cursory glance, Freya still had the confidence to take note of the faces she had encountered, and the dull and dead-headed feeling that was unique to most of the Inquisition's machine spirits.
However, although these machine spirits basically can't do anything smart, they are still relatively firm in their obsession with completing the task. Moreover, since it is a machine spirit, I'm afraid that their captain will ...... You must be able to clearly recognize your own ballet after cross-dressing.
She wasn't there just now, and she was really lucky on her side.
"But it's probably just one team. There must be captains in other places. β
After a pause, Freya continued to explain to Pandora that since she had already been regarded as a "helper", there was nothing to hide.
"But they're all just artificially created machine spirits, so they're in ...... I'm afraid that the emotional intelligence is a little lower, although there are exceptions, but there is still no need to worry too much. β
"Huh? Are you still making machine spirits? Pandora muttered softly, but quickly resumed her role as a listener, "But just now, it looks like it's all guns." β
"Hmm...... It is a new type of machine spirit made to cater to the development of the times, and the only small trouble this time is probably the leading one...... Most of them are guys who know me well. The rest...... Whew......"
A light sigh with a smile. The plan that had been formed in her mind made Freya feel a little more similar than she had seen in a long time.
It's very similar to the mood I had when I was in the court before, but this time there are some different things. If it were my previous self, I would probably have been thinking about what the reason was. But now I can calmly ignore this inner knot.
It's not always necessary to throw something that gets in the way of the road to the side of the road, and sometimes it's easier to just step over it.
"Ah, you're suddenly so determined, and I'm very ...... on my side."
"Priest Pandora......
Before Pandora could finish complaining, Freya turned around with an aura that would never make anyone refuse, "You and your companions, it should be ......
β¦β¦
"Will you help me?"
Later, although Pandora's previous reply was ambiguous, it still did not affect Freya's determination, and instead chose to exchange the evening prayer for a "heart-to-heart conversation" that Mandala and Pandora had no strength to refuse anyway.
Pandora, who didn't seem to want to think too much, threw the pot on Mandala from the beginning, and after saying something like "that stupid pig is okay, my side is okay", it turned into official mode. Naturally, the most important and difficult decision also fell on the head of the mandala.
However, these were naturally ignored by Freya.
"I don't know what you two want, but ......"
Not only did she not know the other party's preferences, but Freya, who had only stayed in this strange church for a long time, didn't even know the identity of the two strange priests. Although these are suspicious, they inexplicably make Freya feel trusted.
"Ahh......h There's not much that can help you. β
After shaking his head like a sparrow, Mandala gestured with his hand and interrupted Freya's slightly anxious "plea", "Although I would like to say that it is true, but we are still priests, and it seems that we cannot refuse orders from the bishop or something." β
"That means ......"
"Your Excellency, Bishop?"
As if with the permission of the mandala, Pandora, who had been silent before, asked slowly, "Do you remember the question I asked you earlier?" What do you think people have been believing in? Well...... It doesn't matter if the oracle you are talking about is really an 'oracle', what are you going to do now? β
"I ...... I don't know. β
Ah, is it the question that Pandora asked in the morning that has bothered her for almost the whole day? If everything that God has made is really a "will", then what you let yourself do is not counted for the time being, and destroying yourself must also be part of the "will", then the very fact that you are still alive is already a taboo.
In other words, if things are really the same as Pandora said, then he is no longer a "bishop", and perhaps it is better to be called a "fugitive". But now that he has not only turned his back on the oracle, but is even planning how to return to the Inquisition, isn't this like ......
"I don't know, so I'd like to save that question until I'm back at the tribunal. Now I need your help, that's all. β
The strange two fellows were supposed to be clergymen who could close their eyes and do their part every day with their hands open, but they were just doing things like vow-breakers, with only a minimum of faith.
Obviously it should be like this, but why do they seem to have some kind of firm faith than themselves? I'm afraid I can't figure it out now, but it doesn't matter, it's enough that they are trustworthy now.
"Ah...... I was perfectly dodged. Pandora grimaced, and after a long time, she stood up with the mandala as if she had given up, "But it can't be helped, the requirements can't be too high." I don't know what I'll be assigned, but ......"
"Your Excellency, you look ready for it."
(Anyway, today is Singles' Day, and I'm poor and I can't even afford bones.) But I still wish everyone a day every year, and a future every year. (To be continued......)
