"Priest Rust, in order to be able to solve this trouble, please answer me honestly to the next question I ask. Luo Lan's expression became extremely solemn, and under the influence of his serious tone, the Rust priest squeezed the staff in his hand slightly nervously and looked at Daphne, who nodded gently at him and gave him a reassuring look.

Rust was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Okay. ”

Luo Lan nodded, his eyes fixed on Rust's face, and said in a deep voice: "First question, is the Diocese of Morgan Mona in the Western Continent suffering from a spatial mutation?"

Rust's face changed, and he said, "Do you need to know this too?"

"Please answer me. Luo Lan's tone remained unchanged.

Rust hesitated for a moment, squeezed the muscles in his face, and then reluctantly said: " As early as more than 100 years ago, in addition to nominally respecting the center of the Holy See, our dioceses in the western continent actually exist independently, whether it is theological understanding or the way of belief, they are very different, that is also because under our sky, not only the light of God, but also the shadow of the Celestial Cult, the struggle between us has never stopped, in the past ten years, the priests of the Celestial Cult have been agitating several neighboring countries to wage war with us, the original only three dioceses have fallen to two, and now only we Morgan Mona are left to support independently, but our believers have been lost in large areas, because of successive defeats, so that they no longer trust us. Speaking of this, he seemed to have forgotten that he should have had reservations about Luo Lan, and said indignantly: "We have asked the Holy See for support, but as believers in the Lord, no one has paid attention to us. ”

Luo Lan pursed his lips, if it was a hundred years ago, or not so early, even if it was only ten years ago, the Holy See might have intervened in order to expand the believers in the Western Continent. But now the situation is different, at that time, the Holy See is probably busy planning for the expedition of Sedaon and how to annex the forces of the major dioceses, right?

And now, the center of the Holy See is unable to protect itself, and can only barely maintain the supreme spiritual rule, which is even less capable of that.

Luo Lan pondered, so to speak. It was impossible for this temple guard to return to the Western Continent. He then asked, "The second question, is this temple guard 100% obedient to you when necessary? Do you have the right to control it directly?"

This question seems equally difficult to answer. Rust's expression froze, he tilted his head, dodging Luo Lan's gaze, and replied in a flickering voice, "The highest position in the temple is except for Bishop Midler. There were only three priests, and I was one of them, along with three Templar swordsman captains......"

The corners of Luo Lan's mouth pulled up a faint smile, from the vague language, he captured the subtle psychology of the other party, and at the same time, he also saw some clues.

After Midler's death, the Rust priest may have been the nominal priesthood, and he may have been here because of his acquaintance with Daphne rather than because of his own prestige. So he might not be able to command the temple guards.

That's not a small guard, Luo Lan made a preliminary estimate, although he didn't know what level the priests in the Western Continent were, but if everyone had a subordinate dialect, the fifty-person priest group would have nearly two hundred subordinates. The strength of the three hundred Templar swordsmen must not be much inferior.

He pursed his lips, and there was still a sweet taste of "drinking dew" on his lips, which was extremely intriguing.

"Third question," Luo Lan paused deliberately and looked at Rust meaningfully. Said slowly, "Before the priest came to Priest Daphne's place. Have you been in contact with any of the other monks?"

Hearing this, Rust couldn't help but be shocked. He looked at Luo Lan in horror. "You ......" He snapped his mouth shut and opened his mouth, without making any sound, and glanced at Daphne in horror.

Devonie's face is calm and unwavering, so that people can't see what is going on in their hearts.

Luo Lan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Rust Priest, you don't need to panic, because even if you don't go to them, they will come to you, this result, presumably Priest Devany has already guessed, you are here, then I think it is because she sees that she is the same believer as the Lord, so she doesn't want to pursue it too much, Lord Priest, what do you say?"

Devany smiled tolerantly and nodded, "If the Rust Priesthood had been protected by the Lord, it would probably not have come here." ”

Rust looked at the two of them in disbelief, he did have private contacts with several other monks, and some of the conditions offered to him were quite appealing, but the main reason why he couldn't make up his mind was that he had not yet contacted Daphne, and he didn't know if there would be any more favorable conditions. In addition, in his deep heart, there are also some hidden worries. His fear was not that Devany would know that he had been in contact with the other Monks, but that no one would trust him once the news spread, and not only that, but he would be passive even in the Temple Guard.

Just as he was fidgeting a little, the brown-skinned Cynthia kid behind him leaned down and whispered something in his ear, and the former couldn't help but nod his head, let out a long breath, and reached out to grope for something.

Luo Lan gave the Cynthia a deep look, then smiled, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, handed it to the maid beside him, and motioned to hand it over to Rust.

"Is it the silk of the East?" After Rust took it, he originally wanted to wipe the sweat on his head, but the silk was very luxurious in the Western Continent, where the diocese was not as rich as the diocese of the Central Continent, and could not enjoy the treatment of a great nobleman, so he was reluctant to look at it, stuffed the handkerchief into his pocket, and took out another woven handkerchief and wiped it on his forehead.

This small action may seem to others to think that this priest is very stingy and greedy, but in Luo Lan's eyes, he saw a lot of unknown details.

"Priest Rust, since you have come here, then we have the obligation to remind you, haven't you noticed that the danger is approaching, and now your situation is very bad?" Luo Lan showed an unfathomable smile.

"What do you mean, what danger will I have?" said Rasteon, laughing, but his inner apprehension was evident.

"In this way, I might as well guess the conditions that the other two Monk Masters have given you, then Monk Olaser will not say it for the time being, because he is the last one to ......consider it" Luo Lan pondered for a moment, he tapped his finger on the table on the side, and said: "If it is Brother Morgowards, he will most likely arrange you a position in the Central Sacrifice Order, and Brother Dean Lance will most likely promise you a priest-level offering." ”

Rust said palely, "How do you know, don't you ......?"

"No, no," Luo Lan smiled and waved his hand, "These are all matters within their authority, and if it is an unfulfilled promise, then what can it be with the title of regional bishop?"

"Can't make it?" Rust's breath quickened, he finally knew where his uneasiness was coming from. "As a Templar swordsman or a priest, no matter which diocese they are loyal to, their role and devotion to the Lord are unquestionable, but you ......," Luo Lan sighed.

"Am I not devout enough to the Lord?" Rust stood up with an excited expression, but when he looked at him with a smile on his face, he immediately came to his senses, and beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Your faith?" Luo Lan laughed, pointed at him, and said, "The Diocese of Morgan Mana has been separated from the Holy See for more than a hundred years, is your faith still so pure?" I just want to tell you that even if they appease you temporarily, because you have too much influence in front of your original subordinates, the best outcome is to take up an idle position in the temple, and the most likely result is to disappear inexplicably and skillfully, or return to the arms of the Lord unexpectedly during a certain mission. ”

Luo Lan's words hit Rust's heart one after another like a hammer, echoing in his ears, the cold sweat on his back trickled down, and he was stunned for a moment, he finally came back to his senses, looked at Luo Lan and stopped talking: "That...... We ......"

In an anxious mood, Rust was a little incoherent. Having traveled thousands of miles to the Central Continent, what he wanted was to maintain his original status and power, not some hellish beliefs and oracles, and the temple guards under his command relied on battle and bargaining chips, once lost, what was the difference between him and an ordinary clergyman? But in the current situation, he was like being trapped in the cracks, and he was in danger, what could he do?

Luo Lan glanced at Daphne, whose beautiful eyes fixed on him, with appreciation, doubt, and anticrisy in his eyes.

He sighed secretly, whether he had revealed too much today, but this step had to be taken, he wiped his chin, a glimmer of light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and smiled: "You don't have to worry, the current situation, if we take advantage of it properly, there is still a good opportunity......"
