In the small parlor of the church, the old priest poured a few cups of flower tea for everyone.
To communicate with the priesthood is to be unabashed, to have something to say, just like Kielie is now.
The paladin sat down and said in a dignified manner: "In addition to the fellow priests who want to help, we have a companion who wants to join the mercenary union, which requires a letter of recommendation from a well-known local priest. ”
Isn't this just going through the back door? Is that appropriate? Sigma is a little suspicious, aren't you priests the most disciplined?
"Mr. Mage, I feel the mysterious power of controlling death in you, you are a necromancer." The old priest showed a sigma expression and said with a pleasant face, "I would like to ask, do you have the status of a mercenary?" ”
"Nope." Sigma replied, just kidding, the land of the frontier is extremely chaotic, the forces of all sides are fighting each other, and the Washington family has more than once fought with the mercenary group of people, and he will only become a mercenary when he is idle.
"I see, the reason why you have doubts is because you have not experienced the difficulty and tediousness of mercenaries applying for membership, and we are serious about being given the right of recommendation by the mercenary union." The old priest smiled and said, "This Miss Paladin's intention was not to let me say good things and go through the back door, but to let me take this opportunity to investigate Miss Athena." ”
"Investigation?" The more confused Sigma became, "You also have a referral spot in your hand?" ”
"No, an old man who has been shepherding in Baihe Village all his life, where will he be favored by the big shots of the Mercenary Guild." The old priest laughed to himself very open-mindedly, "Only the head of the church in the town has such a thing. ”
…… Then you inspect a chicken feather.
Sigma frowned, but knew that the old priest had something to do, so she waited patiently.
"So, I put Miss Athena to the test if she can do it smoothly. I would write down the process and results of this test as a reason for my recommendation and send it to my colleagues in charge of the church in the town. The old priest took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "Out of trust in my colleagues, and the belief that this letter of recommendation must have been carefully considered by me, and that the followers of the Light will not disgrace the Holy See because of their own selfish desires, the head of the church in the town will rely on it." Give Miss Athena a formal letter of recommendation, and that's how simple it is. ”
Simple...... It's a yarn.
Sigma looked at Gilly, who nodded her head again and again, "That's what I thought", and then at Athena, who had an expression of "it should be like this", and wondered if the users of the Holy Light were so kind-hearted? Do you believe that each other's character is strong?
I once thought that this old guy was the hidden boss behind the scenes, that the head of the church in town was his illegitimate son or student, and that he could handle Athena's affairs with just a little hello...... In fact, the darkest one in my heart?
He could not accept this fact. It can only be thought that those who play with the Holy Light are all stream-of-consciousness neurotics, and as long as they meet the radio waves, they can hit it off - Athena didn't care about this, she took the initiative to ask, "What do you need me to do?" ”
"Rest easy." The old priest smiled, "Before that, Miss Athena, allow me to ask you a question. What would you do if Ron were left to you to dispose of? ”
The three of them were stunned for a moment before they figured it out. Ron is Ari's father's name, what a name that doesn't have a sense of zài.
Athena thought about Ele's unrepentant lazy appearance, and her anger grew again, and just as she was about to say the word "cut", she was glared back by Sigma.
However, she is the adopted daughter of the Adjurifying Angel Tyris, who is usually in charge of the justice of Heavenly Mountain, and Athena has never eaten pork but has seen pigs run, referring to the usual thinking pattern of Tyrese's mentor. After a little thought, Athena came up with the answer that she thought was most appropriate: "Ron owes a gambling debt first, and at the request of his daughter, the church applies for funds to pay off the debt, and he should be grateful, change his life, and welcome a new life with his daughter, and pass on the assistance and love of the Holy See to him." In this case, he turned out to be cute, not only betraying the trust of his woman and you, but also taking away the funds of the village, putting you in an embarrassing situation when you took him in. Undoubtedly, his actions have constituted a clear crime. I think the most appropriate way to deal with him is to send him to the military training camp of the Holy See, where he will be baptized by the Light and tempered by an iron will, to get rid of his gambling addiction, to reform his character, and when he has become a qualified warrior and to the point where he is responsible, he will return to the village and start a new life with his daughter, I have finished. ”
"You seem to be well suited to a judicial job in the Empire......," the old priest's words made Athena smile smirk, but the next moment, the smile immediately froze on her face, "But, unqualified." ”
Athena was a little angry: "Why? Am I doing something wrong? People like that......"
"Because it's not our job. You are not a magistrate of the Empire's judiciary, but a future mercenary who follows the Light, and we have no jurisdiction or the power to lynch a citizen of the Empire at will......"
"So what to do?" Athena wondered, "Send him to the town's sheriff's office?" ”
"No, it would lead Ron to face at least three years in prison, and even be forcibly conscripted into military service, separating Ellie from her father forever."
"What the hell are we going to do?" Athena was a little crazy.
"The empire is ruled by the emperor and the law, but it's not just the imperial power and the law that keep the town running. If the law is a cold ordinance that lays out a framework for everyone to protect each other, then the significance of the mercenaries and the church is a supplement to the cold and temporarily immature law. The old priest looked at Athena and smiled gently, "The law is an instrument of domination, and a tool for protecting the weak and the good, and the meaning of mercenaries and clergy is to make a warm supplement to the law when it cannot serve a protective role due to some limitations, as it is now...... Ron did do bad things to the village and should be punished accordingly, which is the meaning of the law, but Ellie will be sad because she really loves her father, Miss Athena, and this is what I want you to do......"
"I want you to be a warm addition to Ron as a future mercenary when Ron is punished......
After leaving the church, Sigma said to Kelly, "It seems that I was right not to be a mercenary...... Are all the clergy who have been designated for recommendation such troublesome old men with incoherent speech? ”
