Chapter 287 - Compensation (continued)
Is there going to be a result?
Hathaway put down the book and looked out the window...... From this angle, you can see the gate of the courtyard.
The courtyard door opened, and a priest walked in, and Hathaway vaguely felt a little familiar, she must have seen it in the correctional center just now, but she didn't have a room to remember.
When the pastor came to the living room, Hathaway was already waiting there, and out of dissatisfaction with the church in her heart, she did not greet her, but confronted the pastor with such wide eyes.
"Hmph."
The priest snorted softly from his nose, and although he was equally dissatisfied with Hathaway's 'rudeness', he had come by order, and he had to show self-discipline as a clergyman, whether he wanted it or not.
"Your Excellency, the Archbishop wants to see you, please come with me." The priest said with a sigh of relief.
I heard that I wanted to see that Alain. Archbishop Stephen is here, and Hathaway is a little apprehensive. On the surface, however, she was very calm, and when she heard this, she straightened her clothes, and then, following the priest, walked outside.
Hathaway noticed that this time they were heading in the direction of the church, and through the back door, and after entering the building that exuded mysterious coercion, they made their way through several corridors to a stop at the door of a room.
"Please wait a minute." The priest asked Hathaway to wait outside, and he went into the room to report.
Soon, the priest came out and said with a straight face, "Go in." ”
Hathaway settled down and walked into the room...... There is a magic enchantment in the door, exuding a natural and fresh atmosphere. It is very comfortable, and it can be used to relieve fatigue, tension and many other negative feelings. The décor of the rooms is not luxurious, but it is very elegant, whether it is the carved decoration on the walls or the choice of materials for the floor and ceiling, there is a natural beauty from the inside out.
There is a very good green blanket on the floor. On one side of the wall is a bookshelf, on which there are a lot of books, and on one side of the floor-to-ceiling window, an old man with gray hair is still working, if it weren't for the archbishop's costume on his body, his identity is revealed. It's no different from an ordinary old man at home.
Hathaway came to a stop not far from the other party: "Your Excellency Archbishop Stephen." ”
"Count Bell. Have a seat. "Alain. Archbishop Stephen looked up and glanced over Hathaway's face, a smile on his face, and gestured to the bench by the other wall.
"Yes." Hathaway sat down.
"I heard. That underground dwarf mine in the Alps was destroyed by your leader? "Alain. Archbishop Stephen took a sip of tea. Asked casually.
The big guy has the demeanor of the big guy. Sitting there at the moment, even though drinking tea is just a casual action, it looks incredibly natural. It's as if the whole person is at one with the surroundings.
"It's just a fluke." Hathaway replied humbly.
"Fluke? Hehe, there is a king of the hill there, and the army of underground dwarves may be reinforced at any time, otherwise the surrounding countries would have sent troops to expel them. ”
Alan. Stephen suddenly changed his words and asked, "Count Bell, you should know about Bishop Beyoncé, right?" ”
"Yes, I found out the day after the accident, which is a pity." Hathaway was speaking with a timely expression of resentment.
Hathaway's table xiàn, falls on Alain. Stephen's eyes were very normal. If she did restrain her true thoughts, the archbishop would be worried.
"We have to investigate the people who were in the vicinity that day and who had contact with Bishop Beyoncé, and we hope you can understand that this is not aimed at you." Alan. Stephen explained briefly.
With his status, there is actually no need to explain, but since it is to give Fei Wenlie eighteen faces, it is better to do it completely. Of course, he didn't mind that Hathaway held a grudge, just a great magician.
"I understand."
Hathaway had become calm, "Your Excellency, I don't know if the investigation into me is over, you know, the Cordillera Territory has a lot to attend to right now. ”
"Of course I know that His Excellency the Earl is very bold, accepting hundreds of thousands of immigrants at once, and not wanting the imperial side to pay financial subsidies, I'm afraid that in the entire Otiga Empire, no lord can do it."
"The archbishop has an overreputation, I'm just a broken jar." Hathaway had a helpless look on her face.
"Oh? How do you say that? "Alain. Stephen asked with slight interest.
"The Archbishop of the Cordillera Territory must also know that there are alien races active in the territory, other lords covet it around, and it borders the dark region. I have just calmed down the unrest in my territory last year, and now the Cordillera Territory can be said to be full of holes, except for the abundance of land, there is no other advantage, and now I give the immigrants a place to live, whether they can survive or not depends on their luck. Hathaway said.
Alan. Stephen smiled silently, although Hathaway had done a little famous in the Cordillera Heights before, but after all, she was young, her time was still short, and the so-called peace was only temporary, and she lacked the support of her family behind her, and even if she had achieved something, she lacked foundation.
"I have read your hearing report. Congratulations, the investigation shows that you are innocent. ”
Alan. Archbishop Stephen had a warm smile on his face, "In view of your full cooperation in this matter, and the fact that the Cordillera Plateau is adjacent to the Dark Regions, which will be the front line of battle in the event of a war, I have sent you a subordinate team of priests on behalf of the Church, consisting of twelve priests, six priests, and one knight of the Guards. ”
For this, Hathaway already knew that it was originally a condition that His Majesty the Emperor had agreed with the church, but her face still showed a look of surprise very appropriately. Stephen thanked him.
"Your Excellency, who is the commander of this team?" Hathaway asked tactfully.
The question of leadership is very important. Hathaway wanted such a team, but she didn't want it to be a completely uncontrolled force. Of course, she didn't expect the other party to be loyal to her, and I was afraid that those people might be tasked with spying on her.
Alan. Stephen smiled, he understood Hathaway's scruples, and he didn't think so. For the church, the Cordillera Plateau was not worth fighting for, and it is still not worth it. However, it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to send in a group of people to find out.
"Rest assured, they are your subordinates, of course, to assist you. However, the Servant Knight's mission is only to protect the Priests, who do not join your battle sequence. ”
"I understand, thank you, Your Excellency." Hathaway said with a grateful face. (To be continued......)
