Chapter 43: The Identity Crisis
"That little lady in front, your gold coin has dropped!"
Familiar, a gentlemanly elegant and magnetic voice reached Firena's ears from behind. However, since she crossed over, in addition to her relatives who are very familiar to her, the only one who can make her feel familiar to her is simple.
Turning around, she quickly hid herself behind the Director-General, revealing only half of her face, staring cautiously at the man who stopped them, Firena disguised herself as a very timid and shy girl.
"Sure enough, it's him, damn it, how did he run away to the Valeron Empire!"
The first time Firena saw him, her pupils constricted involuntarily, and she couldn't help but curse inwardly.
It was a man that Firena was very familiar with, but the blue robe in her impression had been taken off and transformed into a white robe unique to the bishop of the Holy See.
William Walter, Firena recognized the identity of the white cardinal in front of her at first sight. As Firena's first governess, he was as familiar with Firena as his own parents. But what puzzled Firena was how William, as a member of the Commonwealth Magical Association of the Vensel, could fall into the thigh of the Church of the Light in just one year, and become the bishop of Marwan Town.
You must know that the town of Marwan is an important town in the south of the Valeron Empire, and being able to become a bishop here is equivalent to ruling most of the dioceses in the south of the Valeron Empire, and the status is not at all inferior to the archbishop of other regions, and may even be one level higher.
"This lord, my young lady's gold coins are all here, so you must be mistaken!"
Seeing the strangeness of his master, the chief secretary nodded understandingly, and took the initiative to block in front of her, blocking the aggressive gaze of the white-robed bishop.
Then he shook the space bracelet on his wrist and said to him with a smile: "Look, the things in here will not be lost!" ”
"Hahaha, I'm so sorry! Looks like I'm really mistaken! ”
Putting the gold coin in his pocket, William withdrew his aggressive gaze before nodding to Firena with a slightly apologetic expression.
"Two young ladies, William Walter below. Bishop of the Church of the Holy Light in this town. If you don't dislike it, it's better to take a nap and drink a cup of hot tea, and apologize for having a good chat, otherwise you will have trouble in your heart! ”
Pulling out a thick, gilded canon from his robes, William revealed his status to Firena, and then pointed to the ornate church behind him and extended an invitation to them.
Seeing such a sincere and enthusiastic invitation, the head secretary looked at Firena, who was hiding behind him, and saw his master shake her little head like a rattle, tugging at the corners of his clothes behind him, and constantly tapping his back, giving a vigilant code.
After understanding his master's thoughts, the head secretary also began to be wary of the bishop in front of him, coughed slightly, and explained to the bishop with a little apology:
"I'm really sorry, my young lady is a little scared, so please forgive me!"
"Oh, what a regrettable decision."
Seeing that Firena and the Director-General had rejected his invitation, William couldn't help but show a look of disappointment on his face. However, he didn't dwell too much, but asked Firena and the others curiously:
"Seeing the two young ladies with extraordinary appearances, presumably only the noble family of the Versel Federation can cultivate such an extraordinary woman as the two young ladies!"
Hearing William's tentative words, Firena's heart suddenly sounded the alarm bell. She sensed that William seemed to be beginning to doubt his identity. So he kept hinting at the back of the director-general to prevent the director-general from leaking his mouth and causing a flaw to be exposed.
"Hahaha, the Bishop laughed. My young lady is a nobleman who belongs to the Great Qin Empire, and I hope that the bishop will not speculate. Otherwise, we'll be angry! ”
Receiving the hint given to her by Firena, the intelligent general secretary immediately knew the intention of his master, and directly blocked William's next inquiry in one sentence.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, hahaha." Feeling the dissatisfaction of the Okita Soji, William immediately made a round and explained with a smile: "I see that the two young ladies are young and beautiful, and their temperament is extraordinary. I'm afraid that the vulgar mercenaries here will scare the two of them. Oh yes. It just so happens that I have a team of knights here to guard the church, and if the two young ladies are willing, I can ask them to escort them back. ”
What a troublesome fellow, Firena thought to herself. Although William suffered a loss in the last round of verbal confrontations, he still persevered in testing Firena's true identity, and even tried to find out where Firena lived at this time in the name of protection.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, but I am completely sure of the knife in my hand!"
The general director, who had become completely wary of William, rejected his kindness. After taking out the katana at his waist, the head secretary gently pushed the blade of the begging clear light through a gap with his thumb, and the bright and sharp blade emitted a cold light under the illumination of the magic lamp.
"If the Bishop has nothing else to do, then I will take my young lady to leave."
Although the words were still polite, the cold tone made anyone know the dissatisfaction in the heart of the person who said it at this time. Without waiting for William to reply, the Director-General and Firena saluted him and left the area quickly.
"I'm sorry to disturb the time of the two young ladies, but may the glory of the Lord be with you."
Seeing that the head secretary insisted on leaving, William didn't want to do too much to stay, so he returned the salute to the head secretary and them, and walked to the church, after walking into the shadow of a big tree, William stared intently at Firena's back, constantly comparing with the girl who was confirmed dead in his mind.
"Like, it's too similar. But isn't she dead? Did I worry too much or did I really ......"
William looked at the figure stepping into the darkness, shook his head, and couldn't help but think suspiciously and walked to the inside of the church.
"Stand down, I pray to God! Don't let anything bother me! ”
Having drunk away the nuns and knights around him, William entered a small room, which was simple and shabby, with nothing but a large idol of the god. William, kneeling in front of the idol, began to chant an unknown incantation. As he prayed, the idol's eyes grew brighter.
At the same time, Firena, who stepped into the blind spot of her vision, breathed a sigh of relief, and at the moment when she turned to leave, she noticed that William's gaze behind her was locked on her, and it was not until she stepped into the blind spot of William's vision that this feeling of being locked disappeared.
"Master, what the hell is going on?" Seeing that his lord was so abnormal, the head secretary asked her about the reason with some concern.
"Go back, Sanson, Shakespeare. Go and see if there's any tail. ”
Without much explanation to the Director-General, Firena quickly gave orders to the other two servants, and immediately took the Chief's hand and walked towards the hotel.
After deliberately making a long circle around the inn, Firena walked to the hotel where she was staying, and after rushing into the room, she plunged headlong into the bed without saying a word. After a while, the figures of Sanson and Shakespeare appeared beside her with a flash of golden light.
"Master, I didn't find any trackers along the way."
Seeing his master fall on the bed without saying a word, Sanzon also stood aside after reporting to him, waiting for Firena's new instructions.
"What do you think, Shakespeare?"
Firena, who fell on the bed, turned over, looked at Shakespeare, who had been with her for the longest time, and couldn't help asking.
"I don't know, master." Stroking his beard, Shakespeare said in confusion: "This is completely unreasonable." Could it be that the guy really just cares about you and has no other ideas? ”
"No way, if that's the case, you won't come and test us. I even suspect that he threw the gold coin on the ground himself. ”
Hearing Shakespeare's opinion, Felena thought for a while and then said no. You must know that the vicinity of the church is a place with a large flow of people, and a gold coin is not a single amount, if someone else discards it, it will definitely be picked up in a short time. And there was no one around at that time, a gold coin was lying in the middle of the road, and the four of Firena could notice it, but it was easily picked up by William, which was abnormal enough. Besides, he repeatedly asked for his own information, there must be a ghost in it.
"Master, what the hell are you talking about! And who is the bishop I met today! ”
Listening to the conversation between his master and Shakespeare, the head secretary was as confused as if listening to a book from heaven, and couldn't help but take the initiative to ask his master for the reason.
Seeing the anxious and confused look of the Director-General, Firena couldn't help but burst out laughing, and her originally overly tense mood was slightly relieved by this laughter, so she told the Director-General about her relationship with William and the reason why he might find out.
"In other words, Master, do you suspect that the man already knows your identity? Then let me kill him! ”
After listening to the cause and effect of Firena's words, Sang Song clenched the big sword in his hand and directly told Firena his idea.
"Ahh That's what I thought, too. ”
Nodding, Firena also agreed with Sanson's opinion, after all, only the dead do not tell their secrets. But thinking of William, who is now bishop, Firena frowned, and said helplessly:
"But in each regional church there is a team of paladins and a team of judges, and there are many knights and monks. And it just so happens that the Marwan Church is a regional church belonging to the southern part of the Valeren Empire, and it is not easy to kill a bishop inside the church. ”
However, while Firena was discussing how to kill William, in a small room in the church, the light in the eyes of the idol gradually faded, and at this time, William's eyes flashed a little essence, and then said to himself:
"I hope you're that Firena Oldney, after all, I've wasted five years of my life to prove my suspicions!"
