Chapter 116: Race
"Huh? The Bishop ......"
Everyone who had not yet left was surprised by Archbishop Gamori's words, and Candace was no exception.
And several suspicious glances that were originally cast on Candace were all attracted to it. Soon after the nun came in, the archbishop not only woke up quickly, but was also able to get out of bed and walk immediately, which was really incredible.
"I think this brave young man can say two words, don't worry, this body still has the strength to say two words." The archbishop's wrinkled and white old face was expressionless, and he said slowly: "It's really rude, please go back to the others." ”
He raised his wrinkled right hand to apologize.
Some of the people in the courtyard who had not yet left had already recognized Li Fang, a soldier who had behaved exceptionally in the demon incident a few months ago.
Disappeared for so long and then suddenly appeared?
In any case, because he was specially left behind by Archbishop Gamori, and the archbishop was quite gentle towards him, this has made many people remember Li Fang's appearance.
……
The furnishings in the room were not as religious as Li Fang expected, and if you put aside the religious symbols on the walls that were like a lightning bolt in two wings and some hanging oil paintings, this place just looked like a well-to-do house.
Due to its location in the south and close to the ocean, the temperature in La Baule is not too cold despite the winter day, but there is still a fireplace in use in the room.
Candace carefully helped Archbishop Gamori into the room and sat him in a cushioned chair, while another clergyman, who seemed to take care of his daily life, found a blanket to cover his legs.
At this time, Archbishop Gamori was already showing his old age, and his breath was a little weak, and he was no longer as calm and calm as he was just now.
"Alright, Morrill, you go out and look around, and if anyone hasn't left, get out. She's here, it's fine. ”
With the archbishop's words, the clergy who cared for him nodded and exited the room, the air flow from the door closing through Li Fang's hair, and he was standing by the door, leaning against the wall.
Now, there are only three people in the room.
Gegu and Xue Du naturally didn't get in, and they should have gone back by now.
"Don't be nervous, come and sit down." Archbishop Gamori looked at Li Fang: "Although this is the first time you have been invited to be a guest here, you don't need to be too restrained. ”
"In addition, there is no need to hide something unusual about you, I already know about this."
There was no surprise in the old eyes.
But when Li Fang heard this, his whole body suddenly tensed and stiffened! He thought with a slight frown.
Fortunately, his brow soon furrowed.
"It's just that the fight is more powerful, and it was thanks to that big sword to deal with demons in the first place."
It should have been the Great Templar Demon incident a few months ago that made him pay attention to himself.
But things were not as Li Fang thought, Archbishop Gamori just smiled a little and said, "I guess, you saved me today, right?" ”
"After waking up, I suddenly felt that there was an endless stream of 'vitality' in my body gone, and someone must have done it."
The smile that was obviously very affinity, but it made Li Fang feel a chill behind him.
"Why do you guess it's me?"
Li Fang couldn't help but look at Candace, the archbishop shouldn't know about this, could it be that Candace had the ability to reveal himself to him before?
No, Li Fang first denied it in her heart, she shouldn't do this kind of thing, could it be inadvertently leaked? Some panicked emotions made his brain a little sluggish.
Standing behind the archbishop, Candace noticed Li Fang's puzzled eyes, she shook her head and made a "no" lip shape, looking a little anxious, just trying to clarify her appearance.
It's not her, so what's going on?
"Because you're not an ordinary person."
"You're laughing, I'm just back to Rapoll today, and I've been outside the house before, so it's the priests who heal you and the goddess who bless you to save you."
Li Fang reluctantly kept smiling in response.
"It's okay if you don't admit it, cough cough ......" The archbishop coughed weakly twice, and after sorting out his breath, he beckoned to Candace behind him: "You can also sit in front of you, the next thing I want to tell you is the old thing that has long been covered up, but it should have something to do with you." ”
Isn't the ability to produce equipment exposed? Otherwise, he wouldn't have fooled me so casually.
These words made Li Fang breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, but he didn't understand what the Archbishop Church said to them for a while.
The two sat down on two wooden chairs facing the fire and waited for the next step.
"Books rarely lie," he said, looking at the shelves on the wall, "a lot of things that humans can't remember on their own, they remember." And all these things I know are from the previous archbishop and many ancient books, and of course there is a little speculation on my part. ”
As if telling a story, Archbishop Gamori slowly explained what he knew: "Whether you have seen it or not, there are actually many intelligent races in this world, and we humans alone are different from each other. ”
"Let's talk about us humans first, like some people have pointed ears and some people have blue eyes," said the archbishop, looking at Candace, "and they're mixed races. ”
"The reason why I say mixed race is because on this continent, people think that these differences are like a thousand people, and there is nothing strange about it, so after a few generations, there will be no other races."
"Of course, it can also be said that ordinary humans do not exist anymore," the archbishop sighed slightly, "but there will be some people who will have some characteristics of other races. ”
"Ordinary human beings are like me, birth, old age, sickness and death, there is nothing special, but other races are slightly different, and their characteristics are more prominent in some aspects!"
Bishop Gamori's gaze stayed on Li Fang and Candace, and then sighed: "I have always thought that the fact that other races mentioned in ancient books will have some special features is the author's grotesque conjecture, because all the people I have seen, including Candace, who are suspected of being of mixed race, are not much different from ordinary people. ”
"Until I learned of your existence, Li Fang." Archbishop Gamori's eyes suddenly showed a little excitement, and his voice was a little hoarse.
"No one can kill a demon alone as easily as you do, no! If Rapoll had you, ordinary demons wouldn't have to sacrifice so many soldiers' lives, and you would have such magical healing powers......"
"Please wait a minute......" Li Fang suddenly felt very dry in his mouth, and he swallowed his saliva with difficulty, this remark was really beyond his expectations. He wondered what else the people in charge of the church knew.
"There's nothing special about my appearance."
"But your special abilities are real and unique, and as I said, there are no pure ordinary humans on this continent anymore."
"If they have special abilities, do you know what motivates other races to blend in with us?"
Bishop Gamori nodded slightly, and explained in a slightly heavy tone, "Because beyond this continent we live in, there is another continent that is even vast. It was only because of the currents and the boats that we were almost cut off from there. ”
"But a long time ago, news from that continent would come from time to time, mainly from people who had fled, and I heard that the war was still raging there. But now, there is no news from there. ”
