The sharp knife shook slightly, humming a little song, cutting the white bread into pieces, slightly smearing a little bit of tender yellow cheese, and picking it up with the tip of the knife and putting it in your mouth. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Well...... It would have been perfect if I could have another glass of wine.

The clean and tidy room, the peaceful atmosphere, and the morning light through the window all together make up this perfect morning. Loren, who was in a happy mood, enjoyed the breakfast quietly, not at all like he was under house arrest.

Just what he knew, there were two cavalry members of the Holy Cross Church outside his door, and if it was expected, there should be someone else nearby. As long as you dare to walk out of the room, three knives and six holes are definitely not the worst result.

What exactly happened last night?

I managed to clean up the skinny wizard and the two mercenaries, and then the people of the Holy Cross arrived--only half a day away, indicating that the other party had arrived earlier than him, and that there was also a heavily armed cavalry team, I am afraid that it was definitely not just a matter as simple as the new priest taking office.

Is the other party here for Father Anthony?

It's possible, but it's not entirely certain, but it should at least be one of the goals. With such fanfare, the appearance in Gumu Town is definitely not small.

If the gloves or the remaining bottles of alchemy synthesis were still there, he might be able to find a way to leave here quietly, but the other party obviously wouldn't leave anything for himself - from the time he entered, all the things on Loren's body, including the "bright silver", were taken away, leaving him with only a short knife that he carried with him.

From last night until now, Loren has been in this room, and the other party has no intention of talking to him and understanding the situation. If not for this purpose, then what is it for holding yourself here for?

Extinguish?

The corners of Loren's mouth curled slightly, and he felt that he was close to the truth of the whole incident. It's just that there is still a little bit of incomprehension, only a layer of window paper, and the "gentleman" hiding in the shadows will appear in front of him.

It only took one day to get from Gumu to Wimpal College, and four days after Dalton got the news of Father Anthony's death, the Holy Cross Church arrived at the college - minus the time difference between them, and we know that after Dalton returned from Gumu, the church was heading towards Gumu.

There is absolutely no coincidence, and there has never been a coincidence. Dalton didn't say it explicitly, but he must have inadvertently noticed something and attracted the attention of the church, which is the only plausible explanation.

The people of the church should not be so mad as to kill a priest. So what is the origin of this group of people, and what are they trying to do? It seems too strange to say that this group has nothing to do with the church, otherwise why didn't the two groups of people appear for half a day?

Loren's mind was full of confusing information, and he didn't even hear a knock on the door. He didn't react until someone walked into the room. The nervous little priest caught his eye.

"Great, I thought you were ...... after I heard about last night's incident Holy Cross bless!" The nervous and happy little priest quickly retracted the second half of his sentence, and walked forward with great concern and asked, "Your Excellency Loren Turin, are you alright?" ”

"It's business as usual. Loren shrugged his shoulders and asked very casually: "It's outside, how is it now—are there still many believers outside the church?"

"Thank you Holy Cross for getting us through the most difficult days. And, of course, Lord Farnes and the warriors who came with him. While sitting down, the little priest did not forget to say a few words of gratitude: "Now that everything has returned to normal in Gumu Town, Lord Fanecis has taken over this place for the time being, and the rest just needs to wait for the new priest to come." ”

Farnesscist ...... It was the one who came to the academy last time, and Loren's heart was clear: "This lord must be particularly religious, right? I heard that he is not very friendly to people like me. ”

"Uh... Indeed, but that was only out of faith in the Holy Cross, and other than that, the adults were very friendly. The little priest defended himself a little embarrassedly, "I have already explained to the adults that all this is a misunderstanding, that you and those blasphemous fellows are not in the same group, and the adults have already believed it. ”

Did you believe it, or did it be clear from the beginning...... Loren sneered in his heart, and his face was a deep blue of gratitude: "Thank you so much." Even though I'm a shaman, I'm still a member of the Holy Cross - since we're all devout believers, we shouldn't be treated differently because of who we are!"

"That's right, I think so too!" the little priest nodded a little excitedly: "Believers should not be different because of their status, we are all the same humble souls in front of the Holy Cross, we are all lambs who yearn to go to heaven!"

"It's just...... Neither Father Anthony nor Master Fanecscist were very supportive of my point of view. The little priest shook his head with some regret: "Maybe it's just my wishful thinking......"

"No, no, no, you're not wrong, they're just imprisoned by the thoughts of the past, and this kind of thinking of yours is the future. Loren looked at the little priest with great certainty: "Believe me, this kind of thinking will definitely become more and more prevalent in the near future - so don't doubt yourself, just keep going!"

"Uh...... Thank you. The little priest nodded, "But I don't think you should be so disgusted with the Fascist - after all, if his soldiers hadn't arrived in time last night, we probably wouldn't have been able to sit here and talk, would we?"

Well?

Loren was stunned for only a moment, and then regained his grateful expression: "Ah...... You're right, it's a good thing they arrived just in time, otherwise I wouldn't know if I wouldn't have been able to catch my breath. ”

"Everybody is grateful to them, too. The little priest showed an expression of "sure enough": "This is the warrior of the Holy Cross, always so reliable!"

The smiling Loren and the little priest chatted without saying a word, and by the way, they tried to get as many words as possible from each other's mouths, asking about the current situation outside, the recent rumors in Gumu Town, and what the Lord Farnesis was doing here.

Although the young priest knew almost everything, he was only a probationary priest, and it was impossible to know much about it. Being able to come here to visit me is probably deliberately arranged by Lord Fanecis to dispel his vigilance.

"Bang!"

The door was slammed open, and the startled little priest almost screamed, but he quickly shut his mouth when he saw that it was Master Fanesis' retinue who had entered.

"Master Farnesis wants to see you, wizard. The attendant looked at Loren with a look of disgust, and didn't even bother to call his name: "Immediately!"

"Yes. With a formulaic smile, Loren stood up and stepped forward very casually - the other party was the knight who almost trampled him to death last night, and obviously remembered his "rudeness" at that time.

After seeing Loren follow, the indifferent knight didn't even look at the little priest before turning away.

After leading Loren to the door, the knight stopped and did not step forward again. Loren nodded slightly, and prepared to step forward. Before he could go far, the knight's right hand suddenly pressed down on Loren's shoulder from behind, as if it were about to crush his shoulder blades.

"In front of Lord Fanesis, you should know very well what to say and what not to say. The knight's cold voice came, "Your Excellency may be able to forgive you, but I won't. ”

"I understand proportion. Holding back the pain in his shoulder, Loren smiled and said, "Please trust me, I won't say a word in front of that adult, you can rest assured." ”

"You'd better know what you're talking about, wizard!" the knight let go of his hand, "Under the light of the Holy Cross, all evil and magic will be hidden!"

"Then borrow your good words, Lord Knight" Loren took the opportunity to relax his shoulders: "Actually...... I am also a devout believer in the Holy Cross. ”

Of course, as for whether or not the Holy Cross "Church" is a devout follower...... This is indeed debatable.
