23. Archbishop

Although I don't quite understand what it means, I am afraid that it is literally a "messenger of God", and a servant of God is a little more difficult to hear. Although these identities sound a little suspicious in the current world, Nangong, who has already seen the "Inspector with Wings" and the real "Demon", no longer wants to doubt her authenticity.

Let the gods be the gods.

It is true that there is a belief in the ancient West, but as long as there is faith, there will be liars who use this as a starting point to exploit loopholes, whether in books or anywhere, there are examples of complete "ordinary people" pretending to be gods and fooling those simple and devout believers.

However, if it is a person from the Inquisition, it should be very strict to investigate and prove secretly, judging from Filily's admiration for the "divine messenger", although it does not look like a fake, it cannot be ruled out that she was carried away by excitement.

It doesn't matter, as the saying goes, the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, since they are fortunate enough to see this "divine envoy" after recovery, they can also observe the other party from the perspective of an "ordinary person" who does not believe in God, and see what kind of guy such a messenger who does not eat fireworks in the world. If she really came to help the Inquisition, she would naturally be respected, but if she ......

"Please wait a minute."

Trying her best to be majestic, but unfortunately she still owes some fire to the female voice that pulled Nangong back from her thoughts. That's right, after the leg injury was already healed, Nangong accepted Filili's request to go with her to meet the oracle who had recently arrived suddenly, and to explain the matter of the demon Beluseb that she had encountered before.

Obviously, though, it may not be easy to meet the oracle. At least in this empty hall that made Nangong feel a little cold, the only female priest who appeared in the hall did not seem to be so welcoming.

The perfect priestess. But that's about it. Although, as a clergyman, her majesty and calmness are indeed beyond words. But this somewhat rigid cold feelings should not be fully embodied in a young girl.

"Filily, what are you going to do?"

"It's such an archbishop." Fei Lili owed slightly, of course, this kind of subordinate salute to the boss Nangong did not need to do. With her answer, the identity of the priestess standing alone in the corner also revealed.

She is the archbishop that Filily has always respected, I thought she was an old man who was about to "retire", but she didn't expect to be unexpectedly very young. It stands to reason that the Inquisition should not allow a young man to occupy such an important position, but is there any convincing advantage of the archbishop?

"This is Mr. Nangong, the colleague I mentioned with you before, and this time he and I want to explain some explanations about the previous battle with the Divine Envoy. Of course, I did make a reservation in advance. So ......"

"Is there an agreement?" The archbishop frowned slightly, to be honest, Nangong had never seen her smile from the beginning. Although it is said that this is a serious place, it is really a bit sinister to keep a straight face without the slightest relaxation.

"Why don't I have this impression."

"Ah, that's right, at that time, I happened to meet the great god of the traveling gods, so I took the liberty of asking for it." Filily lowered her head, "If you have any doubts, you can check with me." ”

"No need, you're not a liar."

It was obviously a word of praise but was said and reprimanded by the archbishop, and after looking at Nangong coldly, the archbishop's gaze naturally fell on the weapon behind Nangong.

"Your sword is not suitable to take to the Divine Envoy. If you believe me, please keep it with me, or please come empty-handed. The same goes for Fillily. Leave your saber behind. God has made it impossible for adults to be threatened by the slightest outside threat. ”

Hey...... Shouldn't the oracle be very powerful? Why does the archbishop always feel like he's protecting a weak princess? However, her judgment was not wrong at all, Xijing might not really be suitable to stay in such a "sacred" place.

"Then I'll leave it to you."

has already come here, Nangong naturally has no reason to go home. While handing Xijing to the archbishop, her cold hands like dolls also made Nangong touch the cold sweat on her forehead. Although he has a cold face, this archbishop is really not such an easy person to deal with, as if he has detached himself from this whole society and reached a new height.

The place where the priests are usually responsible for praying has been replaced with the residence of the oracle at this time, after all, the people who want to pray have already come, is it possible to stay there and grab a place for the oracle to live? Although he must be alone, this kind of divine envoy who can no longer be regarded as a "human" probably doesn't care. On the contrary, the archbishop, who has an aura that is not close to anyone, and does not seem to have many human feelings, and she didn't even look back at the "divine messenger" who was so close when she opened the door, what was this bishop thinking?

No, the focus should be on ...... "oracles" now, right?

Filily closed the door lightly, but judging from her stiff movements, it was clear that she was a little excited at this time. Can...... Is it really that divine? The "divine envoy" not far in front of him obviously did not feel any nervousness or "sacredness" in his own opinion.

Maybe it's because the other party wrapped herself in a white cloak? I thought it was a goddess-level person, but now it doesn't seem to have any big characteristics. The black hair was tied into braids, and there was no "holy light special effect" around him, if he was placed on the street, Nangong would not notice it much. Maybe it's really just because of a lack of faith?

In Filily's mouth, this somewhat "ordinary" divine envoy "came" when the believers were praying one day, of course, it was said to be coming, but in fact, the way was still a little special. The idol closest to the archbishop was suddenly blown to pieces, and just as the angry and astonished believers wanted to find out why, the oracle was already standing quietly where the statue had been blown up.

The archbishop stopped the angry believers, because he was able to easily and easily come to the place where the believers prayed, and the guy who blew up the idol with "boldness" was beyond the level of the "hairy thief". The believers have probably begun to get used to the fruitless prayers they have been praying for many years, and have even forgotten that the content of their prayers is to look forward to the coming of "God". And the archbishop was the only one who saw clearly and realized this, and it was not until she said "This is ...... 'oracle'" that the believers reacted, and they were so nervous that they lost even the most basic movements.

After that, the oracle stayed in the place of prayer, refused food and water, and remained there in the company of unimaginable loneliness. She may have had conversations with the occasional archbishop, but it was apparently only the second time that she had spoken so head-on to the oracle.

Here it comes...... Obviously, Filily beside her was already nervous and began to tremble, why didn't she feel nervous at all? Is it because I don't have enough faith or is it ......

For what other reasons? (To be continued......)
