Chapter Seventy-One: The Desireless
The adjutant of the Messiah felt that the atmosphere inside the church was a little strange recently, not only the atmosphere of the church, but also the atmosphere of the entire city of Nolan.
On the orders of his superiors, he called on the other missionaries in Nolan to begin transcribing the new gospels.
The so-called Gospel is an old piece of paper on which the teachings of the Holy Religion are written, and the people are informed of the appearance of demons in the city.
This time, the adjutant mainly wrote about revealing that the demons behind "Beauty and the Demons" were actually secretly manipulating, and that there was a demon's lair hidden in Nolan's tavern called Hearthstone, hoping that Nolan's people would always be vigilant against demons and not be deceived by them.
But at the time of writing, the adjutant found that his conscience was condemned for the first time, because his main content was to tell Nolan's people about the conspiracy behind Beauty and the Devil.
If it was to comment on the demon prince, it would be fine, the lieutenant could easily write hundreds of words condemning the demon of sin, but he had a problem writing the character of Belle.
First he had to tell Nolan's people that Belle was a demon in disguise, or that she was the heinous kind of thing...
But... The glory of the gods is above, and after watching the movie "Beauty and the Devil", he really can't write anything to condemn Belle.
Belle is such an innocent and kind girl, and the final ending is so tragic that even the most hard-hearted executioner will shed a few tears because of this girl.
Not to mention him as a missionary.
But the dominant person behind the movie "Beauty and the Devil" must be a demon, and Belle's identity is most likely disguised by a demon.
He had to make it public! This is the best way to get a group of believers in Nolan, as long as the people of Nolan believe that the city has been invaded by demons.
If successful, he will most likely be promoted from a small missionary to a priest, so that he will not have to do the daily chorus.
"Adjutant, is Father out today?"
"Yes, Lord Messiah, Father Cozes is in a hurry and has left the house early."
The adjutant had not had time to soak up his fantasies for long when the sudden appearance of his number one boss, the Messi, forced him to stand up and salute at the back of his errand.
"I can represent some of the priests, what do the Messiah needs?" The adjutant asked.
"The savings I put in the church ......"
Messi's tone grew smaller as she spoke, but she soon found her confidence, and her voice was once again filled with a noble sense of mission.
"I need to take some out!"
"It's... Of course, no problem, Lord Messiah, please allow me to make a bill. ”
The adjutant said that, but he noticed that his commander had been getting very strange lately.
The Messiah can be said to be incorruptible, orderly, kind, and righteous in the Holy Army... and so on behalf of the words of praise.
The Holy Cult Army is not too strict about food, entertainment and even marriage, at least after the Holy Cult Army retires, they can find a girl they like to marry, and they can get together and toast happily after winning the battle.
But rumor has it that this knight of the Holy Army named Messiah is so strict with himself that he is like an ascetic.
All her possessions were given to the church for safekeeping, and she never used them for herself, and her diet was the most modest standard in the army, and money was really like something outside her body, and only the light of the Lord was the most important thing to her.
But in the last two days, the knight lady had often come to the priest of the church in order to withdraw the money she had stored in the church.
Of course, the priest handed it over to her directly, but it was the adjutant's turn to find it particularly strange.
Could it be... A symbol of the integrity of the Holy Army... What did the Messiah Knight do in this city...'unbelievable'?
The adjutant didn't dare to ask more, the status of the Messi was much, much higher than him.
He made a note in the church's ledger and took a hundred gold from the room where the gold was stored in the church and gave it to his prefect.
"Complete the production of the Gospels as soon as possible."
Weighing the gold in her hand, she persuaded herself that it was all for the glory of the Lord, and then told her lieutenant what he was doing.
"Understood, sir."
So under the watchful eye of the adjutant, the female knight left the church, and the adjutant glanced at the Gospel with dense handwriting, and his mood was very complicated.
The main reason is because the movie Beauty and the Devil is so good, although the adjutant knows that this is something made by the devil to deceive people, but he... He just loves what can be done with this movie!
Maybe... Is this what the devil really is for? The adjutant made a bold guess, suddenly realizing that the current situation might not be something they could solve.
He spent nearly two hours transcribing the Gospels.
The adjutant heard the voice of his mentor, the priest in charge of the church, from the prayer room outside.
The adjutant immediately stood up and walked out of the study, and walked quickly into the hall, where he found that the remaining five Holy Cult soldiers had already arrived, as well as the clergy working in the church.
This meeting made the adjutant instantly know that it was bad, and it must be a big man at the bishop level who had come to this church.
When the adjutant hurried to his own queue, he soon saw the rickety figure standing in the center of the church.
It was an old man on crutches, his thin figure seemed to fall down in a gust of wind, and the clothes he wore were also a somewhat inferior burlap coat, which looked like a victim of distress regardless of temperament and appearance.
But the adjutant clearly knew the identity of this old man, one of the archbishops of the Holy Religion Country, a saint with the title of Desireless.
The archbishop's true name had never been known, and it was the first time the lieutenant had seen this being able to appear in an ancient legend.
The first impression was that it was very ordinary, so ordinary that he could easily ignore the old man.
"Don't be restrained, it's useless for you to respect me, I'm not a god."
He spoke, his voice a hundred times younger than the adjutant had imagined, and the adjutant felt his gaze glancing around.
This gave the lieutenant a sense of horror, as the eyes of the desireless were tangled in dirty, old bandages, and theoretically there was no such thing as sight.
But the adjutant still felt like he was being targeted.
"Can you tell me, why is there one less Holy Cult Army stationed here, and where is my disciple Messi?"
When the Desireless asked this sentence in a tone that would make everyone present fall asleep, the adjutant trembled, and the other Holy Cult soldiers stationed in the church also glanced at each other, and they could see the confusion in each other's eyes.
The actions of the Knights of the Messiah, the commander of the Holy Cult in the past two days, were so strange that they had almost no chance to meet their chief in the church.
"Can no one answer?"
When the desireless asked this question, the adjutant always felt the archbishop's gaze on him, and finally under this pressure, he had to stand up and say what he really thought in his heart.
"My lord, I think... I know the answer. The adjutant said with some uncertainty.
