John and his party marched in a hurry along the way, except for the two people who had to take care of Bridgestone on a sunny day and were able to sit in the carriage on a sunny day, everyone else rode horses, and there was almost no rest along the way, chewing a little fried noodles and jerky when they were hungry, and drinking light wine in a water bag when they were thirsty; they could only go in to replenish supplies when they encountered a town or a post station, and they could rest for three or two hours, and they could not stay in the same place in the field for more than half an hour.

It was under such strict demands that the people finally saw the gates of Nimitz.

Since the front-line priests used methods that John did not know to pass the message to the cathedral, as soon as John and the others arrived at the city gates, they saw the knights of the cathedral.

When John saw them, the Knights, who had been staying by the gate, also spotted John's team. I saw the man in the leader of the Cavaliers wave, and the rest of the Cavaliers dispersed, isolating the pedestrians who were queuing up to enter the door from John and his party, and did not let anyone approach.

After doing all this, one of the knights walked up to John, looked up at John on horseback, and asked, "Excuse me, you are Mr. Viscount John Yuel Vulcan?"

John looked at him, did not answer, and said, "Explain your identity and purpose first, and if you are mistaken, you will be identified by us as an enemy who is blocking our advance." ”

When the knight heard this, he hurriedly took out a parchment scroll and opened it in front of John: "This is an order issued by the archbishop, please accept it." With that, he turned sideways to prevent himself from getting in front of John's horse.

John reached out and took the parchment scroll, looking at the message on it, which was indeed in the handwriting of Archbishop Eleanor. Thinking about the church appointment he had received at the front to send the child to the top of the archbishopric level, John nodded to the knight to show that he understood the legitimacy of his actions before he began to watch.

The message of this parchment scroll was simple, just that John received the scroll and immediately went to the cathedral with the knights who came to escort him, and handed the child over to the Pope.

John closed the scroll and said to the knight, "I already know what you are here for, now lead the way, Mr. Knight." ”

Seeing that John and the knight who led the team had already negotiated, the knight brought by John took back the hand that was originally on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

The knight knew that if they hadn't taken out the scroll in time, they might have been attacked, because John was not mistaken, and there was a line in their orders that could attack any enemy who stood in their way. The knight sighed first, knowing that he couldn't assume the identity of the Knights of the Cathedral, so he naturally walked in front to lead the way with some resignation.

The civilians who were about to enter the city or had just entered the city but had not yet gone far were watching from behind, which made the mood of some knights leading the way even more complicated. When in the past have I not received reverent gazes? This time I was treated like a circus clown. But this can't be helped, I am obviously at a disadvantage in the conflict just now, no matter who looks at me, I am just a foil for the other party.

However, he did not raise any jealousy, anger and other emotions, as a knight directly under the cathedral, his understanding of the doctrine was naturally more profound. And in the teachings of the Eternal Radiant Sun Sect, whether it is jealousy or anger, it is an emotion that should be forbidden as much as possible, so as soon as these two emotions appeared, this knight suppressed them.

Although he did not feel angry with John, the knight had no desire to talk to John because of what had just happened, and took a horse from the garrison and rode it himself, so as not to make himself look like a squire leading a horse.

Riding side by side with John, behind them was the carriage in which the turnip was sitting, surrounded by heavily armed knights on horseback, and then by knights in armor. With such a scale, even if it is a big noble, not every family can have such pomp and circumstance, which is naturally eye-catching.

Quickening the pace, John's party was already advancing at the speed of a rapid march to the rear. At the entrance of the cathedral, John met the only archbishop he knew: Archbishop Eleanor.

Archbishop Eleanor couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw John's formation: "Mr. Vulcan, didn't you expect you to be guarding?"

John nodded, got off his horse, and said, "Yes, because the only people who can take care of Bridgestone right now are my men." At the same time, I don't have any important military positions on the front line for the time being, so I asked me to escort Bridgestone back here. ”

Bishop Eleanor nodded in understanding, then looked over to the carriage behind John.

Then all the knights on their horses got off their horses, saw the old woman in front of them, and saluted. Although most of the knights who escorted Bridgestone here were only knights under the leadership of the diocesan bishop, the white priest's uniform with gold trim alone indicated the old woman's status in the church.

Eleanor couldn't take her eyes off Bridgestone as she saw Radish get out of the carriage with a child in her arms. Turning his gaze away, Bishop Eleanor asked, "Is this the rumored Divine Descendant and Saint?"

John turned his head to Bridgestone, who was still asleep in the arms of the turnip, and said, "If you were the one who caused the mutation in the barracks, it was him." ”

Eleanor walked over and carefully snatched Bridgestone from his carrot's arms, a gentle gesture that made John feel that even her own children and grandchildren had never been so gentle.

Bishop Eleanor gently hugged Bridgestone and said to John, "Mr. Vulcan, the Pope needs to personally preside over Bridgestone's identity verification, and you can come in too." That's right. And Mr. Orms over there, come in too. ”

Follow Bishop Eleanor into the cathedral and stop at one of the gates. Bishop Eleanor then turned to John and Radish and said, "This is the most important altar in our cathedral, and it is also the place where the gods pay the most attention, so do not panic when you see any movement in the future, lest you collide with the gods." John and the turnips naturally said yes.

Bishop Eleanor saw that they understood what they meant, and knocked at the door. I heard a voice coming from the door, "Come in." ”

Pushing open the door, Bishop Eleanor walked in first: "Pope, Bridgestone has been brought, and now it is at the door." ”

"Bring him in. The voice just said.

Eleanor beckoned to John and Radish outside the door and pushed the door open.

John walked in and saw a large prayer array, with a baby cradle in the center, and on the other side of the array, a figure wearing a red robe with gold trim, kneeling down in prayer before the idol.

Put him in that cradle, and God will give us the answer. Pope Francis said.

Radish stepped forward silently, put the sleeping Bridgestone into the cradle, and retreated.
