"Sam?"

Luo Lan's eyelids jumped, this guy actually dared to come here to attend the banquet behind my back? He thought about it, no! When he left Beiselen, Sam should still be in the bishop's mansion to reprimand a clumsy maid, how could he arrive in Samarino Town before he had the teleportation array?

He smiled coldly, there must be something greasy in this. 【Latest Chapter Reading.】[]

The crowd split into a line, two female prayer teachers walked in the front, sprinkled with the dew from the bronze basin on the road they passed, behind several male priests holding pure gold crosses, muttering doctrinal scriptures, followed by dozens of white-robed believers, their hands clasped to their chests, hanging their heads and groaning slowly forward.

Before the real big man arrived, an atmosphere of piety and solemnity had spread to the surroundings, gradually infecting everyone present.

The girl looked at the front nervously, her breath was a little short, and the hand that grabbed Luo Lan's arm became tighter and tighter unconsciously.

Luo Lan frowned slightly, he shook his head, and then stared at the figure that came out, and gradually, a subtle arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

This man was about thirty years old, his face was well-defined, his eyes were sunken inward, his lips were pursed, his deep eyes were full of melancholy, he was dressed in a white papal robe without a trace of wrinkles, gold trimmed flowers stretched along the neckline all the way to the placket, he held a short-handled staff in his hand, he wore a sacrificial crown on his head, and a golden cross with a string of silver chains on his chest.

"The gods descend on their kindness and give life to all things, until there is light in the heavens, and earth on the earth, and air in the clouds, and water in the great ravines," he said calmly, drawing a cross on his chest, "and the mercy of my lord remains in the heavens and the earth." It also exists in your heart and mine. ”

The deep voice drifted in the night sky, coupled with the surrounding lights and solemn atmosphere, for a moment, everyone was invaded by this oracle word. I felt a trace of awe, and the originally boiling crowd gradually fell silent.

This man's expression and every move are worthy of the title of big man, standing in front of him, you can feel your own humility and insignificance, he seems to have dedicated his whole body to God.

Either way. No one would doubt his identity, even more competent and religious than the clergy in the temple.

The temperament of the clergy seems to have been tailor-made for him by nature.

Luo Lan felt that the soft body around him was trembling slightly, and the girl leaned into his ear and whispered, "I think, I will be a devout cultist." ”

Luo Lan looked at it, it turned out that this person was here to preach today.

He can be sure that there is no such person in the diocese of Bethlehem, but there are no other dioceses, and it is worth pondering.

Listening to the girl's words, he smiled faintly and said, "That's a pity." The Holy See of Light does not accept commoners other than nobles as Catholics, and I am afraid that the Diocese of Bethlehem is no exception."

"Don't you know?" said the girl, looking at him with wide eyes, "as long as we hand in a full sum of gold, the Lord will accept our land." ”

Luo Lan was stunned for a moment, and then mocked: "Yes, it turns out that the Lord can also be bought with money."

The girl suddenly said with some anger: "Don't say that, that is the Lord's opportunity to atone for the sins of the world, and it is a way of redemption." How can you desecrate it?",

Luo Lan looked at her and said curiously, "Who told you all that?"

"Those pastors are right. The girl thought for a moment, then bit her finger and said, "Isn't it what the priest said, isn't it the bishop?

Luo Lan was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes, you are not wrong at all. ”

As the man said all kinds of miracles in a magnetic voice, the people under the stage gradually became confused. =STARTER==CAN BE FOLLOWED. Their gaze became firm again, and the shift between the two was so rapid. It came without the slightest warning.

Luo Lan was silent, he suddenly found that once these civilians were attached to their beliefs, they were so blind, and maybe even a little fanatical, it was at this time that he began to seriously consider the suggestion of the Rust sacrifice.

But then, he shook his head, the foundation is unstable, everything is empty talk.

At this time, someone in the crowd asked aloud: "Excuse me, what kind of man is the bishop of Bethlehem?"

This topic aroused Luo Lan's interest, and he couldn't help but listen attentively.

"My Mentor," said the priest, who called himself Sam, with a cross on his chest and a respectful look, "Lord Rantiston is a venerable elder, a kind old man, a knowledgeable clergyman, and a benevolent bishop. ”

"Old man?" Luo Lan touched his face.

"yes. The girl looked at Luo Lan with some puzzlement and said, "Aren't those bishops all wise elders worthy of respect?"

Luo Lan said: "But I heard that Lord Bishop participated in the battle of dragon slaying and is a real dragon slayer, at such an age, I'm afraid it doesn't match the rumors......"

"I know this," said the girl, with a smug expression, pointing to the priest on the stage, "Actually, I know that he is lying. ”

"Really?" Luo Lan was slightly surprised, he was a little impressed by this girl.

"Actually," the girl said mysteriously, "that dragon slayer is the eldest disciple of the bishop in front of him, and after he defeated the black dragon, he did not want to take it for himself, but pushed it to his own mentor, and his noble sentiments are worthy of our respect." ”

Luo Lan looked at her, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

"And," said the girl, snapping her fingers, "it is this great disciple of the Bishop who repelled the armies of millions of orcs in Beiselen, and overthrew the tyranny of the barbarians, but this devout and selfless believer once again gave this credit and honor to his mentor. ”

"Millions of ......" Luo Lan said with difficulty: "Are you sure you are not wrong?"

"Yes," the girl nodded seriously, and said, "Millions, that is, there are so many ants in a nest, but in fact, there are not many." ”

Luo Lan found that he who was usually good at speaking suddenly became speechless.

At this time, his eldest disciple on the stage "ended the words that touched people's hearts, and a middle-aged man came out of the queue, and he said, "Everyone. I am a personal entourage of the Bishop of Landiston, Diocese of Bethlehem," he suddenly knelt down, took the silver cross on his chest in his hand, and kissed it. In an infinitely deep tone, he said: "Your Excellency the Bishop is my faith, my life, my all. ”

At first, he reported his identity Luo Lan was surprised at first, but he didn't expect that he actually saw an unknown "acquaintance" again, and he felt that his name was so loud here at the same time he was a little funny, and then disdainful. In the end, the "heartfelt" confession made him feel a chill, and there seemed to be countless small insects crawling quickly on his body, unconsciously pulling the placket of the lichen on his body.

The girl asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

Luo Lan sighed: "It's a little cold. ”

The man who claimed to be his personal entourage had a righteous face, as if he had the temperament of the Bishop and the aura of a god on his body, and he continued: "Your Excellency, you are welcome to live in the Eastern Continent, which is now vast and sparsely populated. The wicked barbarians have been driven by us to the deserts and forests of the north, and the free city-states are thriving with us......" The middle-aged man said at last, spitting at the end of the scroll, waving a large Scarlet Indian parchment, and said, "Your Excellency, you have promised to give you a piece of land if you have cultivated it for three years. ”

This sentence immediately caused a commotion underneath, obviously. These tangible material interests are more attractive than empty religious rhetoric.

"Is there anything to prove it?" someone asked, after all, not everyone is a fanatic.

So, the "great disciple" stood up and said gently and politely: "I am here to prove the sincerity of the bishop. ”

The crowd boiled again, and the noise woke up the silent night sky again.

Luo Lan looked at this scene in a daze, could this be a scam planned by the Thieves Guild?

It would be ridiculous to say that this was the intention of the Thieves' Guild. Maybe some ordinary lower strata of the union will use this method, but the upper strata absolutely disdain to play these tricks from time to time, so what is the truth?

Luo Lan immediately realized, maybe. Behind this incomprehensible appearance, there is a larger conspiracy.

At this time, in a farmhouse not far away, two deacons of the two bands of thieves were having a secret meeting. The thief entered the house and said, "Lord Deacon, things are going well, and there is definite news. That man did come here. We're searching, and it won't be long before we can find him. ”

"Oh. Hehe, I've heard rumors about this man, and I'm going to see if he's as difficult to deal with as rumored," said Immanuel, the deacon of the Evil Thieves, with a smile, "Don't be careless, wait until everything is laid out." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Immanuel turned his head and said, "Deacon Sophie, as long as this mission is successfully completed, we will all be able to give an explanation to the union." ”

Sophie, the deacon of the dark blue thieves group, is a middle-aged beauty in her thirties, the years have added a little crow's feet to the corners of her eyes, a pair of slender beautiful eyes always reveal an indifferent light, her skin and figure are well maintained, and she looks very charming, she didn't speak at the moment, just nodded lightly.

"Since I joined the thieves' union, I have never seen such a large-scale commission, no wonder this time it alarmed our two thieves' unions, and also sent the deacons of both of us to go out in person. ”

Deacon Sophie said lightly: "However, our local opponent is also extraordinary, and it is more likely that we are the biggest opponent since the establishment of the Thieves' Guild. ”

Immanuel narrowed his eyes, smiled, and said, "Wait." "What's going on, please log in to .qidian, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
