A finger taps the rough wooden round table, and a bright light overflows from the fingertips and spreads quickly to the entire round table, turning it into a shiny lighting fixture.

The darkness in the living room was dispelled, and not far away, Tracy, who was laboriously striking flint with a dagger, simply dropped the iron and candle in his hand.

After looking at a few people sitting on chairs not far away, he sighed: "No wonder this stone is so bad that it hasn't been replaced, it turns out that Bernie has a more convenient way to illuminate." ”

His words fell, and the three people sitting unconsciously let out a burst of laughter, which made the seriousness and dullness in the atmosphere dissipate a lot.

Bishop Rhodes, who had arrived with his deputy and Tracy, was also laughing, but not at the incident itself, but at the faint but holy power contained in the light on the surface of the round table in front of him.

This power was warm and continuous, and in his eyes, it seemed that the warm sun of the morning shone on his body, and it dispelled a lot of the tiredness he was eager to come.

It also makes people feel a lot more relaxed unconsciously.

But......

Looking at the brown-haired young man sitting opposite, thinking of what the other party had just said, the ease on Bishop Rhodes' face unconsciously converged,

"If it's true, then the whole thing is clear."

He summed up what Bernie had just told about the situation, as well as some of the information they had previously investigated.

"Boswell, the abbot of the Amos Monastery, is both a hidden devil believer and a participant in a holy water trafficking gang."

"Perhaps because of the interest in the resale of holy water, several monks in the monastery who were responsible for the preservation of holy water conspired to kill Boswell's lover and blame Bazel and his group at the top of the holy water interest chain."

"Dean Boswell was suspicious of this, so he went to find Bazel to question him face to face, but during this time, Bothwell's illegitimate son Mondstadt overheard the truth about the blame, so he used the devil's book left by Boswell to contact the devil Enid Scott Darkfire, caused the Amos massacre, and followed the devil's will to open the sealed sarcophagus."

After a pause, he continued:

"On the other hand, the massacre will inevitably provoke our full investigation, so if the only survivor, Boswell, is still alive, he will inevitably be strictly interrogated by us, which risks exposing the chain of interests of holy water. So before Boswell could return to the monastery, Bazel sent men to intercept him. ”

As a result, because he was a devil believer, Boswell did not die completely, but instead transformed into a necromantic corpse on the night of the Blood Moon. and determined to take revenge on Bazel who killed him. ”

"So he went to Neuham and found Bernie, hoping to tell us about it through Bernie, and then deal a blow to Bazel and his gang......"

After saying this, Rhodes rubbed his frowning brows, "There are some details that we still haven't figured out, but the general situation shouldn't be wrong." ”

The whole thing is one, but in fact, there are two directions so far, one is the devil's problem that broke the seal, and the other is the chain of holy water interests that have surfaced now.

And Rhodes putting them together at this moment is certainly reviewing the reason and process of the whole thing, but it also contains another layer of meaning.

"You're going to report this?"

Sitting next to Rhodes was his deputy, the middle-aged knight who had been there to witness Bernie's baptism.

He understood the meaning of Rhodes's words, so his expression was worried, "I think there will be a deeper level of personnel involved in the holy water matter, so I think we should be cautious." ”

"The breaking of the devil in Ibiza is now of great concern even to His Holiness the Pope."

Rhodes said slowly: "And if we get to the root of it, we can find that the problem of the holy water smuggling problem in Neham was an important factor in the devil's breaking of the seal. ”

The meaning of this is tantamount to saying that the devil can be used to break the seal to enhance the attention of the case.

It's just that if you really do this, it will inevitably set off another twist and turn.

The middle-aged knight was silent when he heard this.

Because no one knows who will be dug out if they dig deeper along this clue, and if these people can't move down for a while, how much hatred and hostility will be caused to them-

Since the end of the Scarlet Age and the renaming of the Lea Continent to the Land of Radiance, the church has been developing steadily for more than a thousand years, and the internal forces have long been intertwined, affecting the whole body, and some things are not so easy to do, especially internal related things.

"What do you think, Bernie?"

Bishop Rhodes suddenly looked at the brown-haired young man sitting not far away.

"If there is a reason to report to the Pope, why not leave it to the Pope himself to make the decision." Bernie said quietly.

These words made several people present stunned, and after looking at each other, the originally heavy atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.

yes, why not let the Pope decide?

If the Pope decides to investigate, then they will naturally have no worries about finding out about it.

And if the Pope does not let the ......

Thinking of this, Rhodes frowned.

After this reminder, it was hard for him not to wonder what was the truth behind the same common phenomenon of buying and selling holy water in other parts of the Lea Continent.

Is the case of Neham just an example?

Or is this kind of thing actually common?

If the Pope does not allow the ......

Bishop Rhodes did not speak for a moment, but he was in a very depressed mood.

The room fell silent.

……

It was already the middle of the night when the group arrived at Bernie, and after a long time of talking and reporting, the sky was already bright outside.

The dimness of dawn shrouded the figures of several people in the room, except for their upper bodies and faces, which were relatively clear by the small glowing round table that surrounded them.

But as time passed, the originally bright white light on the round table had gradually dimmed, and even flickered like a fluorescent.

Bernie raised his hand and touched the corner of the round table, and a sparkling luster was born on his fingertips, and quickly spread along the edge of the table, so that the faint light of the round table returned to its original brightness.

This brought Bishop Rhodes back to his senses, "Sorry, something unpleasant came to mind. ”

He sighed, and then said, "Then report this matter to His Majesty the Pope himself." But the words of a necromancer alone cannot be used as evidence. Before we can do that, we need to find more conclusive evidence that this is true. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the deputy next to him, "Warren, you immediately return to the Rowland Islands and call—"

Rhodes stopped before he could finish his words, and the deputy who was listening to his order was puzzled, but after a while, there was a soft knock at the door, and the three of them looked at Bernie.

The person shook his head at this, saying that he also did not know who it was.

So Bishop Rhodes snapped his fingers, and his and the other two bodies disappeared for a moment, and then disappeared from sight.

Bernie himself came to the door, opened it and looked.

The young nobleman named Livay Cambore, whom he had met once, came into view.
