Volume 9 The Journey of Slaying the Dragon Chapter 45 Stratagem (5)
All eyes converged on one focal point, causing the originally dark corners to suddenly become unconcealed and delicate. [Full text reading.]
The crowd looked at the man in the priest's robe, in the eyes of the crowd, he could not have the slightest relationship with the word spy, he stood straight and straight, his expression was indifferent, his calm gaze was calm and profound, the woven white robe on his body was clean and neat, the badge symbolizing his status was worn uprightly on his chest, the cross emblem was clearly visible, he did not look like a conspirator who had been exposed to the deception, but like a real sage.
At this moment, the hearts of countless people were swaying, could it be that the previous negative speculations about him were wrong? Is he really a clergyman who does not care about honor and fame?
Naolaser sneered imperceptibly, in his opinion, this was just a gesture, and it would not be long before the mask used for camouflage would be torn and torn apart under his further attack, but he lifted his chin, not in a hurry to do it yet, and the staff in his hand pointed lightly at the cross on the other's chest, telling himself that that was his real goal.
At the beginning of the Dragon Slaying War, he tried his best to ensure that the Mage Guild could occupy enough seats in the Monks' Guild, although there were many deviations and accidents, but today, this opportunity finally appeared in front of him, how could he not take advantage of it? He had already taken a step closer to his own efforts, and had even seen that those guys who stood high on the altar were about to take off their hypocritical cloaks.
"Hah! a glorious priest! a priest! a believer in God!"
Naoraser emphasized the identities of several other parties one after another, and his language was implicitly sarcastic, and the corner of his eye swept over the two chief monks from the Holy See, but it was already as sharp as the tip of a spear.
Mogowatts' face changed slightly, and he immediately tasted the true intention behind this sharp gaze, under the faded blue robe. The deep-sea beast, which had been silent for a long time, finally opened its eyes, revealing a dangerous light again.
Naoraser took two steps forward. Look the man up and down. Narrowing his eyes slightly, he stared at the other party and said, "This young priest, I admire your honesty and courage, but can you explain the reason why you gave up your honor to Knight Alexander?"
This is a difficult question to answer, because no matter how you answer it, the sparkle of the answer is not enough to convince everyone, and its doubts will be magnified and extended. exploitation, even irrefutable.
Luo Lan looked at Na Olaser calmly, looking at the conspiracy and traps flashing in his cloudy blue eyes, he smiled slightly, turned around and glanced at the seat, and said lightly: "Before I answer you, I can't help but ask, is this the answer you personally need, or is it the answer that the monk will need?"
The corners of Olasser's eyes twitched slightly, and he twisted his neck. Da Yi said awe-inspiringly: "It is a matter of the safety of all the monks of the Monks' Association, as the chief monk, I have the right to ask you to tell the truth?" Luo Lan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Let me correct one point first, since you have time to go back to the scroll, then you should be able to see that Knight Alexander is still a knight of high moral character, and he did save the whole ship, not that you lied." ”
"And what about you?" said Olasser, staring at him intensely. He said sharply: "Why do you want to hide your existence? At your age, you are here to participate in the dragon slaying battle for glory, so why do you deliberately do this? I have to doubt your motives. ”
Luo Lan sighed slightly and said, "As for your accusation, it is obvious that my explanation can no longer make you believe it easily. Mark 1, but I can't help but ask the monk a rhetorical question. What are you going to do with me?"
"Your actions are strange, but for the safety of the Monks. If you can't come up with a convincing and reasonable explanation to clear your suspicions, then for the sake of the safety of all the noble monks, we have to consider detaining you until the day when the truth is revealed!"
Things were moving in the direction that Olaser had expected, and he smiled slightly in a conspiracy smile, and then it was time for the man he had arranged to stand up and speak......
"No, Pastor Lanton isn't who you say he is, absolutely not!"
To Naorasser's surprise, it was not the person he had arranged to stand up, which was not in line with his plan, but when he saw the person who spoke, he couldn't help but be surprised from the bottom of his heart, and his heart was beating wildly, if he was not an atheist, I am afraid that he would have praised God for his favor at this moment.
Luo Lan looked at this person in surprise, she was actually the female pastor who had been rescued by him from the sea, he didn't expect that at this time, this seemingly weak girl would actually stand up and defend herself.
"Estia, what are you doing?" said Mogo Wadsten, who stood up suddenly, and said with a slight hint of anger, "What do you know?
"Oh, Miss Estia?" said Olasser, looking at her in surprise and puzzled, "Why are you so sure?" he turned to Morgowatts, smiled deeply, and said, "Brother Morgowards, your daughter may know a little bit of the inside story, and it would be better to ask her to tell the truth in order to clear up the doubts of those here." ”
Mogowatts looked at Naoraser coldly, and sat down with a gloomy face.
Estia's delicate body trembled, her beautiful face was a little pale, under her father's sharp words and the strange gaze of Naorasser, she realized that she seemed to be a little impulsive, stepping into an unknown trap, but she did not regret it, and still plucked up her courage and said loudly: "When you entered the harbor that day, you all knew that our ship was attacked by the Harpys, I had accidentally fallen into the sea, I had hoped that there would be a warrior in the harbor to come forward to rescue us, but I was disappointed, no one, no one... ...”
She spoke resentfully, chokedly, and with sadness and disappointment, while Mogowatts let out a long sigh, a little tiredness in his deep eyes.
"Just when I thought I was about to sink to the bottom of the sea...... It's him!" Estia stretched out her hand, pointed at Luo Lan, and said with all her strength: "It was this gentleman of high morals who rescued me regardless of the danger. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, could such a person be a spy in the mouth of Lord Auratha?" she took a step back, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and shook her head, "No. I don't believe it, and I can't believe it!"
I saw that some people present were whispering. Somewhat unpleasant was that Olasser. He hurriedly coughed and interjected, "Miss Estia, I have to say that your statement is too unconvincing. After all, the real enemy is always hidden in the invisible corner, doing hypocritical acts that make it impossible to distinguish between the real and the fake. ”
"Brother Orather," said a middle-aged nobleman, standing up, "if it is as you have analyzed, but he is only a small priest. It is not a threat to us, so I have reason to suspect that there may well be a greater enemy lurking, and that someone has seen it......" He hesitated for a moment, and said, "Brother Morgowards has had a private and secret meeting with this man. ”
Very well, you showed up too timely, that Olaser secretly praised in his heart.
These words not only offset the atmosphere that Estia had just created, but also took people's minds to another path, suggesting that Luo Lan was just a small chess piece, and the real conspirators were still hiding behind.
Several people with a lot of empathy immediately set their eyes on Mogowatts. There was no strangeness and suspicion in his eyes.
Naoraser also turned slowly, and looked towards the seat where the chief monk was, although he didn't say anything, it was enough to arouse the reverie of those who cared about it.
Mogo Watts' face was a little stiff, but his face slowly relaxed, and the corners of his mouth curved into an incomprehensible arc.
Olasser's brow furrowed, as if he felt that he had missed something.
"I would like to make a point about this Reverend Lanton," said Mogoworth, looking mockingly at Naorasser, "the surname Migritt only exists in the southern parishes. As it happens, one of my subordinates is a connoisseur of Southern genealogical heraldry, and after my daughter was rescued by Pastor Lanton that day, I decided to repay him well, so I met him personally. But this connoisseur is motivated by hobbies and habits. Pastor Langton's family flag and badge had been studied, and the results were astonishing......" he scoffed. "He's not a priest!"
Olasser's facial muscles twitched, and he never thought that Mogoworth had already made arrangements. However, he still did not give up, and immediately sneered: "Since this is the case, Brother Mogowards should have seen through his face a long time ago, why didn't he expose him?"
"I only found out about it yesterday. Morgowatts smiled, lightly revealing this detail, and then added, "I originally had the same opinion as Brother Naorather, and thought that there was a hidden shadow behind it, so I wanted to take a step back, hehe, because your method is too straightforward, I don't know if you are intentional or wrong?"
Naorather's face turned ugly, but after only a moment, he smiled again and said, "It seems that we have to ask Pastor Landon to answer this question." He turned around suddenly, two sharp eyes pierced Luo Lan's cheeks, and said in a fierce voice, "Who are you?
His heart was full of anger and anger, this person was not a pastor, so wouldn't all the arrangements he had made to weaken the influence of the church be in vain?
Luo Lan was silent for a moment, as if he was a little helpless, lowered his head and sighed, and said, "Brother Morgowatts, you are not at all right, I am indeed not a priest, and my name is not Langton Migret, I just don't want to reveal my identity." ”
His admission caused an uproar in the entire hall, and Estia's eyes were filled with disbelief, even disappointment and heartache, and Daphne was even more shocked, and her body trembled slightly.
"So, ...... is you?" did the enemy finally give up? Olaser took a step back and asked cautiously, fearing that the other would fight back to the death.
There was silence all at once, as if waiting for his answer.
Luo Lan slowly raised his head and glanced at Olaser with contempt.
Naoraser trembled, he felt that there was an endless abyss in his gaze, it was not sharp, but it had gathered enough power to seem to be able to smash all obstacles, and at that moment, he had an illusion, as if what stood in front of him was not a small nobleman of humble status, but a colossal figure that could not be overpowered, a god standing on a peak that he could not imagine, he was dignified, he was in charge of the right of life and death, he was holy and noble, looking down on all living beings.
A calm voice began to float through the silent and wide hall, exuding an endless majesty: "I, Lundy Lantiston, my identity is - Missionary!"
"What?" said Morgowards, standing up, his eyes full of shock, completely oblivious to the demeanor he needed to maintain at all times.
The minds of many followers of the Illuminati were buzzing, preaching, in the Church of Light, this title equivalent to the level of bishop is only slightly lower than that of the Pope, even the central sacrificial group has to salute when they see it in public, and none of the clergy present is as high as this status!
And now, he is standing in front of him!
There was a dead silence in the audience.
In the distance, there was an empty sound, it was the sonorous echo of steel boots on the ground, it struck on everyone's hearts one by one, reminding people that this was not an illusion, Cejess was dressed in golden ceremonial armor, she held the gold-rimmed robe with a wide robe on a blue background, the bishop's crown and a scepter, and walked step by step to the middle of the main hall, under the light that penetrated from the top of the hall, under the fluttering cross flag, under the gaze of many stunned eyes, she slowly looked around the audience, held high the scepter that symbolized the only Pope, and said with a solemn expression: " Fellow Catholics, standing before you is a noble missionary who will one day become a bishop of the region, according to the canon handed down by the first Pope, in the light of the Lord, perform the rites of reverence!"
Estia's beautiful eyes glowed with strange brilliance, unquiet ripples rippled in her clear eyes, and a few crystal tears hung in the corners of her eyes, she was the first to bend down and said respectfully, "Meet the pastor." ”
Devany looked at Luo Lan with complicated eyes, she didn't know whether it was surprise or sourness in her beautiful eyes, she took a deep breath, stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, that is the real bishop's scepter, a sacred symbol. She looked at Luo Lan deeply, bent down, and said respectfully, "Meet the pastor." ”
No need to doubt it!
One after another of the clergy stood up and bent down again, including priests and prayer masters, templar swordsmen and holy knights, priests and district priests, who said in unison, "Meet the Pastor." ”
On such a solemn occasion, even Dean Lance had to get up from his seat, and made a gesture to Mogo Watts, who was standing indifferently, indicating that he was not qualified to be on the high ground of a missionary, and he walked down the steps until he came to Luo Lan, bowed, and bowed, "I have seen the pastor." ”
At this moment, the daylight that has gone up to the sky is spreading down, and the brilliant light is dazzling, illuminating this hall brightly!
And Olaser stared blankly at the scene in front of him, his face as miserable as death.
