Chapter 115: The Priest's Plan
Rhine did not hide her suspicion of Pat, she carefully observed Pat's expression, and there was no more obvious question in her red eyes.
"Actually, with such a combat force, even if it is to help those people...... It is also possible to buy time. Rhine's eyes narrowed, "I didn't expect the priest to do this. Although considering the past deeds of the Iop Church, it is normal for the priests of Iop to do this. β
Pat smiled at Rheins's scrutiny, and did not refute Rheins's meaningful words.
"I know that in the eyes of many people, Father Priest is unfathomable, and in fact, it is impossible for me to know what kind of thinking Father Priest uses to make every decision." Pat touched his chin, his expression still indifferent, "But what I can be sure of is that the priest must have inherited the priest's will, and it is still the same." β
Reins raised an eyebrow.
"To be able to say such affirmative things to people like you, it seems that there is something special about the church."
Pat was still smiling, as if he didn't notice that he was being secretly ridiculed.
"It's just a little thing in the church, and once you know what's going on, you won't feel that weird."
The meaning of Pat's words Rhines naturally understood that not everyone could easily explore the affairs inside the church. Considering some of the confusion that had occurred since Pat's first meeting with them, since a man of his character could be so conclusively assured, there must have been some reason in it.
Anyway, whether Pat lied or not, she was still able to judge a little. If Pat could really disguise herself to the point where she couldn't see through it, then there was no other plan to do.
"So......" Reins rolled her eyes, an intriguing smile appeared on her face, and the magic array in the room disappeared little by little, "You didn't promise Rossiel for a long time, just for this?" β
Pat didn't seem to expect Rhines to start such a topic, and couldn't help coughing violently. However, Reins had no intention of letting him go like that.
"I've never heard that the church doesn't allow love and marriage." Reins said happily, "Could it be that the priest has this rule?" β
ββ¦β¦ The Church does not restrict the private freedoms of its members. "As long as you don't do things that hurt the innocent, the members of the church just need to prioritize helping the church." β
"So what are you afraid of?" Reins asked with great interest, "If you don't like Roselle, why don't you settle with her as soon as possible?" That child is not a fragile character, and although it will be sad to be rejected, it will not be to seek death and life. It's not a good thing to drag like that, Pat. β
The leader of the "Divine Messenger" seemed to be too embarrassed to speak, and his companions remained silent, although they did not need to speak from the perspective of their status, but in the present predicament, Pat may not appreciate their "discerning" behavior.
"This ...... Naturally, I would have had a plan. Pat also seemed to realize that he couldn't get away with the question, "We might just talk about Tshiro......
Reins looked Pat up and down, and finally mercifully spared him before he could shove his head under the table.
Despite believing Pat's claims, Reins made a magical pact with Pat before taking them out of the conference room.
Pat's movement on this trip was really not small, even if the gods arrived at Morfi in the next second, it would not be surprising, so Reins could only hurry up and take them to Filly's station.
Filly's garrison had quite a few defenses that even Molfi didn't have. It's not that Rhines is hiding their secrets, it's just that many of them need people with rich magical powers to live here for a long time, and use their magic power to echo those magic circles and props. This kind of scope restriction is quite harsh, and the people of the Philip mercenary group alone cannot afford to supply the entire Morfi.
Ever since the exodus of Silua and Ticharo, Reins has added a highly targeted magic circle to Fili's residence. It suppresses the magic of everyone who walks here, including Fili himself. If you want to use offensive or spatial magic in Fili's residence, you must have the approval of Rhine.
Of course, if it was Sirua who wanted to do something, no matter what he wanted to do, this magic circle would directly tie him up and throw him into the small black room.
As soon as Pat and his party walked into Filly's station, they showed a subtle expression.
"How's that, don't you feel like you're hanging heavy objects on your hands and feet, and you're a little out of breath?" Reins glanced back at them and raised a slightly gloating smile, "No way, in order to protect Ciruo these days, I can only raise the level of our defenses." Usually they're only used against my ignorant brother, so you've probably never tried this experience before. β
"Hmm...... It's a novel feeling. Pat's wry smile was fleeting, and the innocent smile returned to his face, "Can it be adjusted by you at any time?" β
"Some can, some can't." Reins shrugged, "I don't think they'll last long for you, though. Once you're used to it, you'll be able to move normally, and they won't kill people, but if you want to fight...... It depends on my mood. If you want to know the consequences, ask Hermiria. β
Pat grimaced, and calmly followed Rheins with his men, not trying to make any unwarranted attempts like his colleagues.
In Filly's living room, one of the church's "oracles" was sitting on the floor with his girlfriend, staring intently at the screen in front of him that was larger than half their bodies.
"Apaya was afraid that they would get bored if they stayed in the station all day, so she made something like this." Reins walked over to the screen and tapped the edge of it, "Supposedly, you can use it to play games or watch movies...... But anyway, I haven't tried it. β
An engineer who would become extremely jealous when it came to Rhines would never allow anything he made to compete with him for his mercenaries.
"I think it's pretty good." Ciruo, who had come back to her senses because of Reins's movements, blinked, "It's very useful to pass the time, otherwise I would have been bored and rolling around here." β
"We don't need your clothes to clean us, girl." Reins said lazily, "Well, leave this thing alone for now." Now that the Lord is in front of you, are you going to continue to waste your time? β
Tshiro and Smofa looked at Pat together, and of course they noticed the people behind Pat, but they believed that Pat would give a reasonable explanation.
"You're in a much better state than I thought." Pat walked up to them with a smile and sat down directly on the ground, "I suddenly didn't have any news, I thought you would be so scared that you would cry when you saw me." β
The two of them rolled their eyes at him at the same time, even if they really had been anxious for quite some time, they would never be so fragile as to need to hug someone else and cry.
"Well, Pat, you heard Rhines too." Ciruo frowned, "Don't waste time, hurry up, what's the situation now?" β
Pat nodded, and began to explain to them what he had been doing during this time. Taking advantage of this time, Reins took out his communicator and sent a message to a few people in the address book.
The people of Morphy need to know the attitude of the church so that they know what to do next. She also needs to let Apaya know that she doesn't have anything to do now, otherwise she will be bombarded with constant preaching from the other party in the future.
And...... Of course, there had to be someone else who knew about Pat.
Reins looked at the name in the address book, then at Pat, a malicious arc on the corner of her mouth.
ββ¦β¦ In short, that's it for now. "Actually, according to Father Priest, he wants you to let him see your situation for himself and then find a way to solve itβbut Father Priest is equally worried...... The uncertain factor of those adults. β
"So what do we do now?" Zruo frowned, "Are we going to start running away?" β
"It's not that serious." Pat pondered, "Actually, according to one of the ideas of the priest, we can secretly escort you back to church, but I don't think this method will be very popular. β
"Obviously." "That's the territory of the Church of Iop, and if we do something there, we'll be in a pretty bad situationβso, don't talk nonsense, what's the idea?" β
Pat half-clenched his hand into a fist, pressed it to his mouth, and coughed softly.
"Another thought, act......ually," he hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly, "Your Excellency thinks...... Those people are not irrational, so they can communicate. β
As soon as Pat had finished speaking, he seemed to be very interested in the patterns on the carpet, and lowered his head to look at them intently.
ββ¦β¦ Father Priest means ......," Reins' voice was full of suspicion, "I want to tell them directly about this matter, and beg them to be magnanimous enough to give us time to investigate and settle it?" β
Pat didn't look up, still staring at the pattern on the carpet.
"It's impossible." Smoker almost jumped, "We can't gamble with Tshiro's life!" β
"I don't think that's a good idea either." Reins simply sat down next to them, "The odds of success are too small, the rewards are too low, and it's not worth betting." β
ββ¦β¦ I can't say I didn't think about your reaction. Pat sighed helplessly, he was finally willing to look up, but looked directly at Ciruo, "So, Ciruo, what do you think?" β
As he asked, the other two also looked at the most important girl.
