When Gawain took Amber and Hetty and followed the soldiers to a construction site near the brick factory, the strange priest who suddenly appeared in the territory had been busy for a while.

He was a large, unkempt, dusty, and unusually sturdy man, who was carrying a basket of heavy bricks with the workers to the place where the wall was being built, and although it was already the cold frosty moon, he was as tired as the workers in sweat, so that he took off his tattered priest's robes and tied them around his waist as a girdle, revealing the muscles of his upper body and his bronzed skin.

It was as if it was ready to die with the heathen.

The workers were working with the man who had suddenly appeared, but from time to time they were secretly looking up at him, apparently discovering that this was a strange stranger, while the supervisor (and recorder) of the construction site was watching helplessly, and when he found out that the lord was coming, the overseer immediately trotted up to meet him: "My lord! You've got it, it's really"

"What's going on with this guy?" Gawain looked at the sturdy man on the construction site who was burying his head in moving bricks, "The priest of the Holy Light Church? This style of painting? Why did he suddenly come to my territory and get to work? ”

"We don't know where he came from!" The overseer looked frenzied, "He said he had been ordered to come to the South as a missionary, and then asked the workers if anyone was interested in the Light—who knew where this man came from?" Of course, no one paid attention to him, and I told him that now everyone's work was not done, and no one had time to listen to him, but this man ran to move bricks without saying a word, and he couldn't stop him - his strength was terrifying! ”

"Just look at that body shape, you know that the strength is not small," Amber glanced at the big man in shock, she just heard that there was a suspected Holy Light Sect priest who ran here, and she was still excited, and she was ready to fight with the other party for three hundred rounds (or be beaten by the other party) and then find Gao Wen to pay a sum of money for medical expenses, but Rao didn't expect that it was such a number one person who came to her brain circuit, and she suddenly couldn't react, "This is really not a paladin who went out and wore the wrong clothes and put on a robe?" ”

The overseer spread his hands: "I asked, I said that I was a missionary who traveled from the central region." ”

Gawain frowned, and waved his hand to the soldiers who came with him and the overseer in front of him: "Don't be nervous first, I'll go over to contact you." ”

With that, he led Amber and Hetty forward.

The workers who were working soon saw Gawain approaching, and one by one they nervously and awe-inspiringly stopped what they were doing and prepared to salute, but Gawain stopped them with his eyes and waved his hand: "Don't worry about me, just do your own business." ”

The sturdy man who was working finally noticed the change in the atmosphere, he unloaded a basket of bricks from his shoulder, looked up, and then turned to look at Gawain: "The steward is here?" Is it in charge? ”

This style of speech is really not like the kind of priests that are common in the Church of the Light.

Gawain is now wearing a rare civilian clothes, although he carries the sword of the pioneer with him, but it is blocked by a scabbard, in addition to his height, it may be difficult for an outsider to associate this big man who can't be seen by a decent guard when he travels with Duke Cecil (Amber belongs to a decent guard), and realizing that the strong man in front of him did not see his identity, Gawain also followed him and said: "Yes, I am the steward of this area." What do you do? ”

"It's great to finally see someone who works!" The big man looked extremely happy, he wiped his sweat casually, then took out the robe tied around his waist for a long time, and finally took out a crumpled document and handed it over, "Can you help me give this to your lord?" I had been standing on a high place and looking at it for a long time, but I couldn't find where his castle was. ”

Gawain took the paperwork, found a pile of bricks to sit down next to him, and motioned for the other party to sit down as well, and then he looked down and saw that the paperwork written in high-grade parchment had only a simple sentence: I hereby appoint the Lord's loyal servant, the priest of the Light, Wright Aviken, to go to the south to preach the teachings of the Lord and the way of the Light.

Below is the emblem of the Church of the Light and the seal of a bishop.

Is this really a missionary?

Gao Wen was stunned, and put away the paperwork casually: "Okay, I'll transfer it, but I have to ask you a few questions first." ”

"Okay, wait a minute," the big man nodded halfway through when he suddenly stood up and stopped a serf who was walking past him, "Wait a minute, there's something wrong with your arm." ”

The serf stopped blankly, suddenly nervous when he saw Gawain sitting next to him, but the latter only nodded slightly, indicating that he didn't need to care—Gawain was also curious about what the inexplicable missionary was trying to do.

Then he saw the missionary named "Wright" with one hand on the shoulder of the serf, and with the other hand drew the emblem of the god of light in the air, and recited the words of the prayer, and as the prayer progressed, a faint white light also appeared on his two hands, and a quiet and peaceful aura filled the air around him—the bare-chested, unkempt strong man seemed to have a slight sense of holiness in this holy light.

Soon, the treatment was over, and the missionary Wright withdrew his hand and nodded to the serf: "Okay, a little dark injury, and it will not rain on cloudy days in the future." May the Lord bless you. ”

The serf moved his shoulders incredulously, probably feeling obvious comfort, and he couldn't help but nod his head to Wright with an excited expression, and then moved his shoulders back to his working position.

Missionary Wright slapped his face as if he had finished a trivial matter, and turned to look at Gawain: "I'm done, you ask." ”

Gawain watched the whole process indifferently, and was only slightly surprised at the end that this "missionary" only said "May the Lord bless you", instead of taking this opportunity to pull people to preach the way of the Holy Light for half an hour, and then he came back to his senses and nodded to Wright: "Are you here to preach?" ”

"It's all said on paper, the Central Diocese sent me," the man nodded, "and it's Bishop Megael who signed it." I've been on the plain of the Holy Spirit for more than a year, a little on the road, most of the time on the mission, and a stop and go along the way. ”

Then he added: "I only recently learned about the Cecil family establishing a new frontier here, originally my last stop was Tanzania, but now, my last stop is here. I'm going to stay in this place for a long time, and if I can get permission from the resurrected duke, I'm going to start a church here. ”

Amber poked Gawain's arm and muttered, "Oops, what about you."

Gawain quietly tensed the muscles in his arm, causing Amber's fingers to retract as if they were poking on a steel plate, and then looked at Wright with a frown: "Then why did you suddenly come to help with the work?" ”

"The overseer just said that you don't have time to listen to me preach," Wright shrugged, "Then I'll help them finish their work, won't they be able to preach." ”

"That's it?"

Wright took it for granted: "Yes, that's it." ”

At this time, Hetty finally couldn't help but speak: "Forgive me for taking the liberty, but I have also seen the missionaries of the Holy Light Church who have traveled abroad, but they are not like you, are you a paladin before?" ”

"I'm a priest, and I always have been," Wright looked down at the muscles on his body, and once again took it for granted, "but it's more dangerous to preach abroad, and you often encounter beasts and robbers, and the priest himself has too little fighting magic, so it's good to exercise and protect yourself." And sometimes I don't have enough money, so I have to do some work for the locals in exchange for food, and I can't do it if I am not strong. ”

"The missionaries of the Church of the Light don't have a tradition of working for food," Hetty said with a strange expression, "I don't know of a transcendent person who doesn't need to sell his physical strength wherever he goes, let alone an ordinary person. ”

"Ma'am, you're not right," Wright immediately looked serious, "The Way of Light tells us that people can't get something for nothing, and the Way of Light tells us that everyone is a child of the Light, so since they are all people of the Light, why should there be any ordinary people who are not ordinary people?" ”

Amber looked the strong man up and down in surprise: "Do you really take these words seriously?" ”

Wright once again showed a natural expression: "How can the teachings of the Way of Light be regarded as fake? ”

Looking at this strange missionary, Gawain didn't speak for a while.

He quickly wondered if there was anything suspicious about the man in front of him, whether he had something to do with Princess Veronica's previous visit, and how much he believed what he said.

If those words are true, then there seems to be nothing to worry about - the priest of the Holy Light has been traveling since a year ago, and the arrival of this priest was an accident before he Gawain had even uncovered his coffin.

If none of this is true, the sudden arrival of a Holy Light missionary in this territory is a sensitive matter in Gawain's opinion.

But somehow, looking at this Holy Light missionary with a strange painting style, Gawain always felt that this matter really had nothing to do with conspiracy.

But no matter what, even if he has a slight wariness and estrangement from the belief in the gods in this world, he can't just drive out such a missionary as a lord, especially when the other party has not broken any laws in this land at all, and even takes the initiative to help work and treat the sick, he can't do so—otherwise the law and order he himself will be hit.

And he also wanted to observe and see where this person came from and what his purpose was.

While Gawain was thinking in his heart, Missionary Wright was also looking at the three people in front of him, and suddenly asked, "By the way, are you three interested in the path of Light?" ”

Gawain and the three of them did not agree at all:

"I am a believer in the goddess of magic, and I don't want to believe in him anymore."

"You're lame, I believe in the Shadows!"

"Not interested, thank you."

Missionary Lytter nodded: "Oh, forget it then." ”
