Temple Island, the second floor of the main church.

"Lord Bishop, the new head of the witch hunters, Mr. Edmund wants to visit you." The attendant knocked on the door.

Cha Pei was dressed in a white blouse, which was richly decorated, with gold threads sewn on the edges, and a fiery red robe on the outside, and his face was gloomy, his whole face was a little sickly pale, his forehead was densely covered with fine beads of sweat, and the bridge of his nose was a sickly red.

Before the squire arrived, he had been standing by the window with a golden scepter and gazing at the city of Novigre.

After hearing the attendant's words, Cha Pei's face changed slightly, and he slowly paced to the table and sat down, "Let him come up." ”

The squire nodded in resignation, and after a while, there was the sound of footsteps rubbing metal boots against the floor.

A tall man in red armor with a sword at his waist walked in, different from the rustic-looking witch hunters, he was more like a knight, with his head held high, and every step seemed to be deliberately measured distance, but when you noticed the cold eyes of him, you could tell that he was not a good person.

Standing at his desk, Edmund leaned over and bowed slightly to show his respect for the Bishop.

"Excuse me, Bishop? After all, I'm the first to visit you after taking over Manji's shitty job. Edmund glanced at the documents with the royal seal on the table, and said sorry, but there was no apology in his tone.

Cha Pei gathered away the papers scattered on the table, pushed them aside, silently stared at Edmund for a few breaths, and asked slowly, "You shouldn't just be here to visit, right?" ”

"It seems that the Bishop has received the news, and in the weeks that followed, the Rose Knight ...... Oh no, the witch hunters will take over the duties of the church temple guards, and it's time to clean up the evil in the city, the bishop has been very incompetent all these years. The corners of Edmund's mouth rose, he did not have to become a subordinate of the bishop like the dead predecessor this time, but to seize control of the church over Novigre with a relatively equal position, so when he spoke, it sounded like he was announcing orders, and he was not qualified to negotiate terms with Chappei.

Clenching the scepter in his hand, Chapper stared at Edmund's aggressive eyes unwillingly, "Impossible, you're doing this to ruin my years of hard work, I'm the bishop of Novigre, and I'm the administrator of this city!" ”

"Soon you won't be anymore, Bishop, and maybe this will be the last time I'll call you that." This time, Edmund didn't even need the honorific title, squinted and smiled.

"Bang!"

Cha Pei slammed the table, and the water in the silver cup was slammed out, soaking the corner of the document, "It's not up to you!" ”

"Don't worry, while you can stay in this position for a little longer, continue to enjoy the good life as a bishop, although Manji is dead, he still has a lot of useful things left......" With that, Edmund turned and walked towards the door, not even saying a word of farewell, leaving Chape leaning back in his chair with a pale face.

"By the way, the tavern owner who killed Manji's idiot must be a thing of the past today." As soon as he reached the door, Edmund suddenly turned around.

"Damn it!"

Originally, I just wanted to take advantage of Manji's injury in bed to teach the other party a lesson, but I didn't expect an overnegligent other party to die because of a wound infection, and now things got worse, I didn't expect this guy named Edmund to be sent over so quickly, those documents that Manji had investigated him when he was alive hadn't had time to find out and destroy them, Cha Pei felt that it was time for him to give up this identity, after all, his life mattered.

Cha Pei, who was tangled, rubbed his eyebrows and leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed.

I don't know how long it took, the attendant shook Cha Pei awake, "Lord Bishop, Captain Harold of Xicheng District has brought a criminal. ”

"Well, why did the criminals come to us?" Hearing the attendant's words, Cha Pei was very puzzled.

"According to Captain Harold, the prisoner invaded a tavern last night and is suspected of killing the owner of the tavern, who was originally a witch hunter."

......

On the third floor of the tavern, the top floor of the tavern has been cleared and converted into a spacious training ground, with a lot of exercise equipment in the corner, and two oversized dumbbells are being tossed up and down like toys by Alice.

In the center of the training ground, Zhang Lin, who was holding a short sword, was engaged in a one-on-one duel with Feng Yan, who was wrapped in his thoughts.

said it was a duel, but in fact it was more guidance, Feng Yan was able to dodge Zhang Lin's attacks with ease, while guiding Zhang Lin's movements, although she had some off-line actions from time to time in her daily life, but compared to other women, Feng Yan has rich experience in hand-to-hand combat.

For a long time, Zhang Lin's hand-to-hand combat skills are not very good, after all, he has never undergone any systematic training, and without any ability, Zhang Lin even has to be abused by Xili, so after seeing his rough fighting style, Feng Yan, who has been idle and bored, decided to train his master for a while.

From simple power skills to flashing and moving footwork, Feng Yan guided Zhang Lin one by one.

"No, it's not like that, do you want to lose your balance without hitting the enemy?" Feng Yan staggered to dodge Zhang Lin's slash.

"So, so?"

"Okay, keep it this way, keep attacking me!"

Zhang Lin while analyzing the problem of his own movements,While adjusting the state,Although there are still problems with many movements,But it is constantly improving,The connection of the movements is not as stiff as in the past,It can be said that in the past, he was more like relying on skills to carry out half-round battles,And with the improvement of combat skills, he gradually mastered the combo skills,Shift to a faster-paced action game mode。

And downstairs, Emma welcomes guests.

Harold, the captain of the guard, led Bishop Chape into the tavern, the two of them were draped in ponchos, dripping water constantly, and a small robot was surrounding their feet to quickly clean up the water stains, which surprised Chape, who had seen this kind of thing for the first time.

"Hello, Mr. Harold, what would you like to drink?" Emma asked in a soft voice when she saw the regulars coming.

Before Harold could speak, Chape stepped forward and said, "I want to find the owner of the tavern." ”

"This is the Bishop of the Church of Eternal Fire, Lord Chappe, and the matter has to do with the former witch hunter you asked me to send today." Harold whispered to Emma.

Emma, who was about to come out with a wine glass, paused, and Cha Pei, who seemed to be a little pale, glanced at him, nodded and said, "Okay, you guys come up with me." ”
