Chapter 50: Satisfactory Results (Part II)
"Come in, don't be too inhibited, just sit down and rest for a while. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
In Father Anthony's drawing-room, Farnes, who sat on a bench like a master, greeted Loren with a smile and a very warm gesture, as if he had been living here for a long time.
"Thank you for your hospitality, but no more. Loren, who was "respectful", refused the other party without a trace, and stood in front of Farnesis with his hands in his hands: "I'm just a little wizard, and I'm really not qualified to sit in front of you." ”
"A knight too. The rejected Farnesis flashed with anger in the corners of his eyes, but he didn't show it: "I've heard about your master, Leonardo Turin, but I didn't know he had an heir - but he would be very surprised if he knew that you had become a wizard, wouldn't he?"
"Things are unpredictable, and I didn't have many choices at the time. The other party sarcastically mocked himself, but Loren didn't hear it, with a mask-like smile on his face: "I just don't know, what else can I do for you?"
"Do you think I asked you to come because I still have something to look for you?" Farnesis was stunned for a moment, then laughed softly: "I'm sorry, it looks like I made you misunderstood. ”
"The reason why I didn't let you go wasn't because there was something that needed you. Rather, I hope that you can send a message to Wimpal College to ease the awkward situation between us. ”
Loren's hands behind his back rubbed them gently, thinking and waiting for the other party's next step.
"As you may recall, I visited your college and had a one-sided acquaintance with Dean Peter. Farness's expression was a little embarrassed: "But my attitude at that time was not very friendly. ”
I guess you want to tear down the academy on the spot, right...... Loren sneered inwardly.
"Because of the situation at the time and objective reasons, there was naturally some of my personal bias, which caused a lot of misunderstandings between the two sides. Fanesis skimmed the whole thing lightly: "In addition, many people feel that Anthony's sacrifice is because of the academy, which also affects my judgment. ”
"But now that the truth has surfaced, we must return the Academy's innocence. Farnesis explained: "If it were me, of course, I could go to the academy without any scruples and apologize to Dean Peter, but ......"
"At this time, I must also protect the face of the Church, especially of Bishop Fabion - this kind of gross negligence and mistake must not be seen in the Church, otherwise the devout believers will lose their purpose of following and trusting. So I hope you can convey my meaning to Abbot Peter, and I'm sure he will understand. ”
Farnesis looked at Loren sincerely, his eyes burning as if he were about to roast him.
So the whole thing is that the Holy Cross Church knows that it is wrong, but it can't tear down its face to admit it, and of course it is impossible to admit it. So by conveying such a message by himself, he resolved this contradiction in private, and both sides acted as if nothing had happened.
That's a ...... What a cheeky one.
However, considering that there is no capital to resist in front of his church, he can only admit it. Loren bowed slightly: "Please rest assured, I will definitely bring the news." ”
Whether Peter and Dalton would have swallowed that breath was another matter.
"Please also convey to Your Excellency the Dean, that Bishop Fabion is very optimistic about the recent initiative of the Academy, and hopes that you can continue. Fanecis said very casually: "This also shows that the wizards of the Wimpal Academy are also devout followers of the Holy Cross, and they are very important in re-establishing the image of the Academy." ”
"I understand. ”
At least Dalton definitely didn't laugh when he heard the news. Apparently the church was so pleased with the recent "unpaid giving" of the college that it was going to continue to be a practice until the college was completely untenable.
If the former one is cheeky, this one is basically a shameless level. Loren's lowered gaze swept over Farnesis' smiling cheeks, as if he could already see the arrogant face hidden in the smile.
"Of course, the most important thing is that Father Anthony's sacrifice was not in vain and allowed us to catch an evil blasphemous organization. Farnesis suddenly said in a righteous voice: "The patriarch of the Lyle, Grimm Lyle, this man is simply the embodiment of evil, and terrible pus is bleeding from head to toe. ”
He first killed his brother for inheritance, then Father Anthony discovered and killed him, and finally reached out to his father, intending to take complete control of the entire town of Gumu. For the sake of this evil plan, he did not hesitate to find equally evil people to work for him, and let those lowly scoundrels and beggars become his lackeys!"
"Luckily, we were able to detect and stop this in time. Farnesis stood up and patted Loren on the shoulder excitedly: "The Holy Cross will remember your exploits, boy." ”
And the Holy Cross never forgets to praise and encourage those who have the courage to give. As he spoke, Farnesis handed a silver ring to Loren, "This is something I have for you, wear it, child." ”
"Thank you for your gift. After a moment's hesitation, Loren put the ring on his hand - a sterling silver ring, with two sharp swords folded into a cross engraved on the face of the ring, delicate and simple.
"Although you have chosen the path of a wizard, you still have the status and title of knight - this ring is an acknowledgment of you in the name of the Church, and when you meet a lord you want to serve one day, you can ask for treatment that matches your title. ”
"You'd better engrave your own name underneath, it's a rare honor after all. Not all knights are able to win this honor. ”
Loren, who was grateful, left with a thousand thanks under the gentle gaze of Fanesis, as excited as if he had just become a knight's little squire.
It wasn't until he left the church and put on his hood again that Loren gradually removed the "mask" on his face and looked at the silver ring on the little finger of his right hand with a sneer.
Are you going to buy me off on that alone? Is it really cheap...... Or does the other party really think that as long as he talks to him and appeases him a little, he will bow his head and bow down?
From Anthony to Fanecis, even the rather zealous little priest, these people of the Holy Cross seem to be born with an inexplicable sense of superiority, looking down on all living beings with pride. In their eyes, it seems that bribing others is just a matter of words, and it is the natural obligation of all people to serve and dedicate to them.
Who gave them the courage to think this way, Holy Cross...... Loren almost burst out laughing, but quickly regained his composure.
Yes, if there can be a strange "heresy" like Asriel, why can't the Holy Cross really exist?
The world in which I live is a world that can influence reality with spiritual power, and even reverse reality. Then even the emergence of a "true God" who rules the whole world does not seem to be impossible.
What really made Loren more concerned was the final definition of the murder of Father Anthony by Lord Farnesis.
The real culprit behind the scenes is Green Lyle, everything is led by him, everything is instigated by him, and all the charges and black cauldron are detained on the patriarch of the Lyle family, which is really a trouble-saving way.
It's just that there seem to be a lot of obvious clues that are overlooked, such as the skinny wizard and the trap behind Lyle's house......
This Lord Phanesis seems to be very deliberately covering up some clues. However, now that the other party has taken over Gumu Town, it will be very difficult for him to continue the investigation.
But at least I have got the result I wanted most - no matter what happened to Father Anthony's death, the church and Fanecist have nothing to do with it!
