Chapter 136: Thompson's Doubts

readx;? The fog in the courtyard had gradually lifted, revealing a shadowy figure among them, and an old man in a red and white robe still standing in front of the door with a guard. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info other people scattered all over the courtyard, most of them were helping the wounded were overwhelmed by the fog, and then they did not dare to move, at this time the visibility in the courtyard was restored, and everyone began to continue the previous rescue.

Thompson ignored the others and flew straight in front of the old man.

"I've seen Lord Bishop. ”

Thompson was quite dissatisfied with the red-robed old man's request for mercy to his subordinates twice, and even connived at the enemy's departure, but he knew that the old man's identity was extraordinary, so he still saluted the old man's brother and said respectfully.

After speaking, Thompson turned to the red-robed old man, a middle-aged man in a red-edged white robe.

"Bishop Owen, please notify the Pooh City Sheriff's Department immediately, martial law throughout the city, and search for fugitives. ”

Bishop Owen in Thompson's mouth is talking about the head of St. Vignie's Cathedral - Owen. As a Templar, Thompson was less polite to an assistant bishop, almost commanding. But Owen didn't mind, just smiled and nodded at him, but didn't answer, but looked at the old man in red robe, waiting for the old man's order, obviously in his eyes the old man in red robe is the most qualified person to issue orders here.

"Master Thompson, don't worry, I know in my heart that the prisoner can't escape. ”

The red-robed old man waved his hand and denied Thompson's request, which made Thompson unhappy for a while, but because the old man's status was extremely high, he didn't show it.

The red-robed old man's name is Garcia, and he is not only famous in the southern wilderness country and the surrounding areas, but also a heavyweight who is deeply trusted by the sect emperor S. Hepburn even within the Holy See. Because in addition to being the bishop of the diocese of the Holy See of the South Field, he is also a cardinal of the Holy See. It is said that when the young Dis Hepburn became the 16th Pope, Garcia, who was still a bishop at the time, contributed a lot, so when Dis Hepburn became Pope, he was soon promoted to cardinal, and after the conquest of the Nanno country, the largest diocese of Nanye outside the country at that time was handed over to Garcia under full management.

Garcia's performance in the southern field did not disappoint Des Hepburn, he used just a few years to turn the southern country into a parish almost as faithful to the Papal States, and therefore, Des Hepburn relied on him even more, and he and the later Bishop of Higg were almost the right-hand men of Dis Hepburn, in the words of Dis Hepburn himself in private:

As long as the two dioceses of Minamino and Higg can be stable, he can rest easy. It is also true that Minamino and Higg respectively hold the two major exits of the Holy See to the north, and any force that wants to pose a real threat to the Papal States must first settle the above two dioceses, but there is one exception, that is, the Elven Forest, which is directly bordered by the Papal States to the south.

Therefore, there are even rumors within the Holy See that the Pope is ready to recall Garcia back to Winston to serve as a cardinal to assist the Pope in managing the internal affairs of the Papal States, which is equivalent to the position of the chancellor of an ordinary human empire, which can be said to be above ten thousand people under one person.

What makes Thompson a little strange is that Garcia did not go to Vanston, but suddenly ran to Pooh City, although Pooh City was indeed Garcia's station before, but with the surrender of the Higg Empire, the overall power of the Holy See moved north, and Garcia's station was also moved from Pooh City to the capital of Nanno, which was further north, leaving only his close assistant bishop Owen in charge.

What made Thompson strange was that before Garcia came, St. Vinnie's Cathedral didn't get any news, and even he, the Templar, was kept in the dark.

Did something big happen, or did the Lord have something else planned?

The ability to send a cardinal silently from one residence to another overnight was the only power that the Church Emperor S. Hepburn had.

Thompson's heart was not only a little apprehensive when he thought of the always inscrutable Lord, but he knew that he would soon have an answer.

"Lord Thompson, you're welcome. ”

Garcia smiled and stopped Thompson's salute.

"Your Excellency, why did you suddenly appear here?"

Seeing Garcia's smile made Thompson's heart feel a little more reassured.

"I'm here specifically for that prisoner. ”

"The elf?"

"Exactly. ”

"Since I'm here for him, why would my lord stop me from chasing them?"

When Thompson heard that Garcia was also here for the prisoner who had just escaped, his heart was even more confused.

"I can't say much here, but Master Thompson comes in with me. Owen, you immediately arrange for someone to go outside to disperse the onlookers, and you can think of your own reasons. ”

Garcia seemed to have known that Thompson would ask this question, but he was not too busy to explain and it was inconvenient to explain in public, so he let Thompson into the church and took the opportunity to separate the coadjutor bishop.

"Yes, my lord. ”

Ou Wenbai was afraid that he was not qualified to know the content of the next conversation between the two people, so he was ordered to leave.

Garcia led Thompson to a conference room on the second floor, and waited for the idlers around him before he spoke:

"I am here on an urgent order from the Lord. ”

"What kind of order? Wouldn't it be okay to arrange for someone else to pass it on?"

Thompson said so, but Garcia's words still couldn't solve the doubts in his heart.

"What an order, you can see by looking at it. ”

Garcia pulled a delicate-looking parchment roll out of his sleeve and handed it to Thompson.

"If the Lord asked us to bring the elves back to Winston, why didn't the Bishop let us track them down after he stopped me from killing them?"

Thompson took the parchment and opened it, just glanced at it, and his face changed, he finally understood why Garcia stopped him from killing, but then he had another layer of doubt, it was understandable not to kill, but it was impossible to explain letting the enemy flee without chasing.

"Do you think I'm going to do such a stupid thing?"

Garcia said with some dissatisfaction when he saw Thompson's fuss.

"Thomps is not questioning the Lord, but the Lord's actions are indeed contrary to the Lord's commands. ”

"How dare I disobey the Lord's command, but the Lord has told us to take people to Winston, and has not prescribed how we should bring people there. ”

As soon as he saw Thompson mention the Lord, Garcia had to immediately become serious.

"What do you mean ......?"

Thompson became even more confused.

"Do you know why that guy named Kronis was caught?"

"I heard it was for a woman. ”

Thompson said.
