After an interval of about a month, Luo Lan returned to the territory of Sedaon.

He lived in a low-key church temple near Cass Ardon Castle.

The war has passed, and the military forces that have been built up in the whole region have fallen into the hands of the opportunistic Angdor.

Groups of clergy and Angdor's cronies who had no roots were promoted, filling the vacuum of power that had been left behind.

In this situation, Luo Lan, who seemed to have no background on the surface, did not attract anyone's attention.

There is only one exception.

Looks like he's been waiting here for a while.

Looking at this familiar figure hidden under the cloak, Luo Lan looked a little surprised.

The hood was slowly lifted, and the heroic face of Commander Temos was revealed, and he said in a calm tone: "Where have you been during this time?"

Luo Lan looked helpless, as if he had encountered something unlucky, waved his hand, and sighed: "Don't mention it, you don't know, in order not to reveal my identity, I almost died in the mission of that cross flag, and I didn't come back until now." He spread his hands and said, "It seems that I will have to find a place to hide when this happens to me in the future." ”

Priest Temos's gaze was fixed on Luo Lan's face, there was no joy or anger in his eyes, as if he was about to find some clues from the latter's face, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "Maybe there is a place you can choose." He took out a roll of leather from his bosom, the crimson fire paint was very striking on the pale leather, and it was covered with a clear cross intaglio, and the rich divine aura was emanated at once

Luo Lan's eyes widened slightly, this is ......

He was surprised at first, then suppressed the excitement in his heart, stretched out his hand and took it slowly, but he forcibly did not untie the fire paint, but slowly put the leather roll into his pocket.

Temos was slightly surprised, and said, "Don't you want to see where your parish fief is?"

Luo Lan smiled slightly, he let out a long sigh of relief, as if he was about to spit out all the past depression out of his chest, and said with a smile: "No matter where it is, the result always does not change." He frowned again, and said in surprise: "Doesn't it take a year?

Temos smiled faintly and said, "Thanks to the defeat of His Excellency Pope Pidoca II in the territory of Sedaon, which has caused his prestige to plummet, and some of the dioceses that were originally obedient to him have defected, and in the current situation, it makes little sense for him to allow it." Sedaon is a prime example of this, where the establishment of a new diocese is a matter of time. ”

Luo Lan's eyes flickered.

For a long time, he had been enveloped in a myriad of stresses that made his breathing and his hands and feet sluggish, as if he were moving under sticky water.

In his veins flowed unrestrained and hopeful blood, but from the first moment he came into this world, it backfired, and when he tried his best to escape from the thief teacher, he found that he could not really dominate himself, he was like crawling out of the exit of a cage, only to find that he had only crawled into another cage, albeit a bigger one, but the essence remained the same.

He used to think that strength could change everything, but he also found that no matter how strong a person is, he is still small and ridiculous in the face of a huge force.

Only by first attaching to the wings of a certain force, gaining a firm foothold in the cracks, and then slowly climbing upwards with the help of the power of this force, and finally ......

Luo Lan smiled coldly, he had been waiting for the harvest of this fruit, but he didn't expect that when this moment suddenly came, after the initial excitement passed, what rose in his heart was calmness and vigilance.

Is this really that easy?

A new diocese, in addition to money, needed not only the support of the local nobility, but also the construction of temples and the concentration of a large number of clergy.

If it is a slightly remote area, the local religious power is also a force to be reckoned with.

This is not something he can do alone.

So, this parchment is so far nothing more than a procedural license order, not worth much more than a piece of paper.

What's more, before that, he has an even more important thing to do.

Luo Lan said expressionlessly, "Do you know the origin of Daphne?"

Temos glanced at him and said in an emotionless tone, "She is a disciple of the former Archbishop Moro Eton. The fiancée of the current High Commander of the Sedaon Military Alliance, Ondor, she also has close ties with the Mage, and her background and power behind her are very deep. He paused, as if to remind Luo Lan, and said in a deep voice: "The matter of Sedaon is very complicated, and we don't want you to get involved. ”

Luo Lan raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "Hehe, we're just cooperating, aren't we?"

Temos looked at him deeply and said, "We won't add any restraint to you, just kindly remind you, you have always been very sensible, Mr. has always admired you, I hope you will not let him down." ”

Luo Lan smiled faintly and did not speak.

Temos slowly stood up and reminded him again, "Be careful about your whereabouts recently, there are several groups of people who are investigating your whereabouts, and it is very beneficial for you to maintain your current false identity."

Luo Lan's expression froze, and he read some hidden danger from the other party's words.

Demos didn't say anything more, in his opinion, it was enough to say something once, and it was not his style or his duty to be bitter.

Although Luo Lan is now only a nominal missionary, the two are already equal in status.

Temos raised the staff in his hand, and a faint white light emanated from it, "According to the regulations, the Missionary Teacher needs to have more than ten high-level paladins to follow, but this time, the Holy See has only assigned a fifth-level paladin from the Holy Knights to protect you." ”

He looked outside and said, "Hyjes." ”

Luo Lan turned his head, and a female paladin with a golden hair bundle walked in, she was about twenty years old, tall and fit, but she was not wearing enchanted armor, her clothes were neat and simple, and she only wore a cross sword on her waist.

She walked up to Temos, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully, "I've seen Lord Priest." ”

Temos nodded lightly, he pointed at Luo Lan, and said: "From now on, you must always protect the life of Pastor Lantiston, in addition, whatever he needs you to do, you must do it, and you must not violate it at all, do you understand?"

"Yes, my lord!" Celjesus' face was firm, she turned to face Luo Lan, bowed her head, and said, "Lord Pastor, Lady Hyjes is willing to serve you. ”

Luo Lan glanced at Temos, then looked at Xi Jiesi, and said slowly, "What do you say?"

There was no fluctuation on Xi Jiesi's ice-like face, and she replied without hesitation, "Anything!"

Luo Lan just wanted to speak, but suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside.

Temos's eyes flashed, and he brought the hood up again.

A young man rushed in, his chin raised, and he said in a condescending tone, "According to the orders of Priest Daphne, all the clergy will immediately assemble at the castle lord's mansion. ”
