Chapter 5: Meet General Burnham

Sein shrugged his shoulders helplessly, a trace of complaint flashed on his honest face, but there was no resentment, he lowered his head and whispered, "Oh, I know! The tone was flat, and I couldn't even hear the slightest hint of loss.

The aristocratic celebrities, who had just reacted from Burnham's fierce words, fell into a stupor again.

If the nobles and celebrities had just been surprised or dissatisfied with General Burnham's casual presentation and removal of the Iron Oak Order, now they were shocked that Sean had behaved so casually and even generously with the Iron Oak Order, which was coveted by everyone in Noxus.

Then Sain's words made the group of nobles and celebrities who were speechless and shocked even stunned and speechless. Sein scratched the back of his head, his tone was quite helpless, and he whispered to himself: "No wonder the boss said that if I want to get the Iron Oak Medal, I must accumulate at least a dozen Iron Oak Medals, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve positive results after all!" ”

But no matter how low his voice was talking to himself, it was louder than ordinary people's voices. After talking to himself, Sein looked at the person in power in Noxus in front of him with a somewhat helpless expression, and asked weakly: "General Burnham, including this time, I have five Iron Oak Medals with the boss, right?" ”

This sentence made the Egustin Cathedral silent, and thundered everyone to the outside. The dozen or so young men who were about to receive the Iron Oak Medal standing beside Sain suddenly gave birth to this Iron Oak Medal, which seemed to be not very rare.

Five Iron Oak Medals.

A few simple words made the nimble nobles secretly smack their tongues. If they were looking at Sain and Augustus with a little joking interest, then now the joke and joking interest was completely changed to attention by the five Iron Oak Medals in the mouth of the swaggering Sain.

It's not hard to speculate. The Order of the Iron Oak is awarded once every three to five years in peacetime, while during jihad, the Order of the Iron Oak has been reduced to once a year. This means that each person can only receive a maximum of one Iron Oak Medal per year.

Three years, five pieces.

In other words, one of them received two Iron Oak medals and one received three medals in three years. And the very unprecedented thing is that the medal, which was regarded as a symbol of the highest glory of Noxus in the whole of Noxus, was so speechless that it was seized by General Burnham, waiting for a handout.

Noxus is known to be strict with the management of the Iron Oak Medal. Basically, the Order of the Iron Oak will never favor one person twice at the same time. After winning the Iron Oak Medal for the first time, if you want to get the Iron Oak Medal for the second time, the difficulty factor will suddenly increase.

If it weren't for the fact that the honest big man in front of him and Augustus, who had not yet felt the award ceremony, had made a great contribution to the holy war of Noxus, it would never have been possible to have such an honor.

Burnham frowned. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, staring at the honest Sein and sneering: "Maybe there will be a unique guillotine ceremony in this sacred Egustín Cathedral!" ”

The burly, with explosive muscles all over his body, like a little giant, stood like a small giant, and suddenly shuddered, and glanced back at the church. He took a deep breath and said with a look of trust: "The boss promised me that he would arrive!" "Put your hands into fists and clench them.

――――

Sister Evelyn is an ordinary white priest who has been determined to dedicate her life to the Lord Almighty since she was a child. As an ordinary monk in the Cathedral of Egustin, he was responsible for guarding the library. belongs to the kind of people who have been unknown all their lives and cannot be recorded in the annals of the Holy See.

Since childhood, Evelan, who has never thought of becoming the center of power in control of the Holy See, has never wanted to be the center of power of the Holy See, and the happiest thing every day is to quietly read the books in the library, or obscure as the starry sky or the mysterious, such as the sea or simple and interesting papal texts.

Today was a good day, but Evelan, who was holding a large stack of precious papal texts, did not have time to step on the marble tiles with different patterns printed on the corridors of the Cathedral of Aegustin, and dance the usual favorite checkered step.

The heavy books "Castle in the Sky", "Teachings", "Apocalypse of Light", and "The Hand of God" in both hands, the papal texts that were even more important to Evelan's life than her life, as a standard devout believer, holding a stack of precious texts and laughing and doing other things, it was simply blasphemy against God.

The hallway was a short distance from the library she was in. Passing cautiously past the council chamber, which should have been filled with noble nobles and holy monks today, Evelyn was nervous and expectant. Perhaps today you may see the Holy Cardinal Pangudra.

The largest and most famous church in the capital of Noxus, the largest and most famous church in the capital of Noxus, has never been short of big names. These magnates were profound or majestic, but they were out of reach for Evelan, and only Cardinal Pangudra had a wise and holy smile when he saw her, a lowly white priest, which was enough to be excited for days on her face.

Carefully holding the precious papal texts before he stopped a few steps down the hallway, Everan's eyes widened at the slender figure who had climbed over the walls of the Cathedral of Egustín and fallen into the walls of the cathedral with a dog.

Bang. The four books in his hand, which had been consecrated by the Holy See, fell to the ground.

Looking at the slender young man lying in the garden after eating, Evelyn was stunned: "Oh my God, someone dares to desecrate the sacred like this??" ”

The walls of Egustín Cathedral were a symbol of the Lord's rules for the world for Evelan, a devout monk who had been guided by the Holy See since childhood, and to cross the wall was to violate the rules set by the Lord, and then to blaspheme the sacred.

The young man patted the dirt on his ass without grace. Walking directly towards Evelan, this young man was about 1.8 meters long, he didn't look handsome, he was wearing a white cloak that was very popular among civilians, and a white linen dress that was a little rough, everything proved that this strange intruder was an ordinary civilian.

But this ordinary civilian was not small, and after seeing someone witness his actions, instead of fleeing as a frightened mouse, he walked directly towards the witness Evelan.

"Honorable monk. Is this how you usually treat the supreme texts of the Holy See in the hearts of our believers? The civilians looked at Evelyn and said first.

Evelyn panicked and picked up the religious scriptures that had been thrown into the ground in fright. At this time, the commoners also bent down at the right time to help pick up a copy of "The Hand of God". Gently touching the golden cover of "The Hand of God", the civilian said with a little emotion: "God gave people a lever, but he didn't give people a fulcrum, so we can't pry up the world!" It's not because God Almighty has forgotten, it's that God doesn't want humanity to accumulate the original sin of laziness, and the fulcrum is there. As long as we follow God's guidance and persevere in our pursuit, one day we will find the fulcrum and use the lever in our hands to pry up the world. ”

Originally, Evelyn was very hostile and wary of this reckless and unobtrusive civilian who broke into the Cathedral of Egustín. But when she heard that the ordinary civilian monk could utter one of Santiago's favorite words in The Hand of God, Evelyn felt a little more fond of the reckless commoner.

"For a devout believer who has read The Hand of God, God should not care about the occasional apparent behavior of that believer." Sister Evelyn thought to herself.

"Have you read the Hand of God by the Santiago Saints?" The little nun asked politely.

"I've seen it a few times." The civilian youth replied with a faint smile.

Seeing that the civilian youth did not talk deeply about the meaning of the book "The Hand of God", Evelyn took the "Hand of God" book from the young man's hand and stood up. With a faint smile on his face, he looked at this ordinary civilian believer and said, "You came to the church to worship the Lord, right?" I'm sorry, the Cathedral of Eugustín is not allowed to enter today, I know there is a path to exit the Cathedral of Eugustín that will take you away. ”

The civilian youth glanced at the silent wall, turned back and smiled softly at Everan, showing two rows of white teeth, and said in a calm voice, "Praying for the Lord's blessing is the most important reason why I came to Egustin Cathedral. But there is another reason for me, I am here for today's award ceremony! ”

said. The young man made a very formal and meticulous religious salute to the monk Everan, and smiled awkwardly: "The Cathedral of Egustin is so big, I can't find where the church council hall is?" Can you take me there? The civilian youth looked sincere.

Evelyn froze for a moment, staring into the eyes of the civilian youth in front of him, and after a long time, Evelyn said, "Okay. I'm going to the library, anyway, I can take you along the way to the church hall! Devout believers, are you sure you're really going to the chamber? ”

The civilian monk scratched the back of his head and said shyly, "If the investiture ceremony is held there." I'm sure I'm going there! ”

Evelyn did not speak, but walked with suspicion to the church chamber with the believer, who had been sentenced to death in her heart, and that the liar should be punished by God. "Bestowal ceremony? It's already been more than ten minutes. Evelyn mused.

The conference hall is located at the very front of the corridor and is in a very prominent position.

This corridor, which is only about 100 meters long, passes through two groups of monks, one of whom is the white bishop of Evelan.

The group of people, as usual, did not look before them, bowed respectfully, and the pious little nuns walked forward meticulously, as if they were not bound by anything in the world.

The civilian youth smiled and said, "Arrogance is not the quality of a monk, Evelan, you are more suitable than them to be a white bishop and spread the glory of the Holy See!" ”

Evelan, who was as weak as grass in the eyes of the young people, looked at him, and his face showed a holy light that surprised him, and said, "I salute them not because I am afraid of their robes, which symbolize the white priests, but because of my devotion to the Lord!" As long as I'm pious, that's enough! ”

The young man of the common people restrained a smile on his face, looked at this ordinary and inconspicuous nun with a solemn expression, and said sincerely: "Godfather, thank you for guiding the lost shepherd!" ”

Sister Evelyn chuckled, pointed to the council chamber in front of her, and said, "Where is the council chamber, believers who like to lie, don't lie again next time!" With that, Evelyn walked directly past the civilian youth.

The civilian young man looked at the quiet and indifferent white-clothed back and smiled slightly, and said to himself: "What a lovely little nun." "Look at the council chamber and walk. At this moment, if the little nun Evelyn turns around, she will find that an arrogant and domineering temperament has emerged from the ordinary civilian youth, as if she has walked through the sea of corpses and blood.

"Just now, the white cardinals seem to be talking about General Burnham's desire to cancel the honor of Augustus, who has not yet arrived at Egustin Cathedral and is about to receive the Order of Iron Oak." Thinking of this, Evelyn couldn't help but slow down with a stack of books, and an astonishing thought popped up in her mind: "That ordinary civilian just now may be the late Augustus??" ”

Evelyn immediately shook her head, didn't think about it anymore, and walked towards the library.

After only two steps, a very familiar voice reached his ears: "Augustus has seen Burnham?" General Darkwell! ”

Evelyn slowly turned her head and looked in the direction where the voice came from, it was the council chamber! (To be continued.) )
