At this moment, just as Irene was facing the line of life and death more than ten kilometers away, the castle in Baicheng was quiet and peaceful.

Of course, it can also be less peaceful.

The guards were still patrolling the walls, scrutinizing the gates of the castle, and they were so bored that they began to yawn.

On the other hand, there are two groups of people who have already begun to act.

Inside the castle, a fat, white-clad figure with a package on his back sneakily watched the movements of the guards, tossing back and forth, trying to get out of the city.

Outside the castle walls, a group of mercenaries of unknown origin gathered in the corner, throwing their claws at the walls again and again. However, each time it fell off after a "ding" sound.

"Did you hear anything?" asked one soldier on the rampart.

"It seems to be there, and it may not be. Another soldier replied.

"What do you mean by whether there seems to be or may not be?"

"Like, probably not. ”

Two soldiers stood side by side on the ramparts, but their eyes were facing inward. After all, they were tasked with keeping an eye on Gray and not letting him slip out of the castle. As for outside the city walls......

Is there going to be someone attacking the castle at this time? It shouldn't be possible, right?, they thought.

"What to do? The rope is too short. Why don't you just swagger through the gates? I've heard that they've put Baron Gray under house arrest, and if they see you standing in the doorway in armor, they'll definitely take you in. ”

"Oh, that's a great idea. The real thing was inside, and I swaggered in through the gates, Are you afraid I'm not dying fast enough?"

Yes, among the mercenaries hiding outside the city walls, there was the guy who pretended to be Gray and held Irene hostage, and he was wearing the same armor as Gray.

As for True Gray, True Gray was standing in front of the church looking up at the bell tower.

In the middle of the night, the whole church was pitch black, and there was not even a single light.

The wind blew softly, swaying the two large trees in front of the church, making a rustling sound. It was the only sound around at this moment.

"Should I go in?" asked Gray.

"You first have to make sure the pastor isn't there. The black cat replied with a blank face.

"Wouldn't the pastor be there?"

"At least I should have slept. Can't you wait until tomorrow morning to see what time it is?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until tomorrow morning, and I'm going to feel suffocated. It's really uncomfortable. I desperately need his guidance. But can he enlighten me?"

"As much as I hope you cheer up quickly, ...... Are you sure the lich breathes?"

"I'm just a metaphor, a metaphor, a metaphor, isn't it okay?"

"Alright, let's get the priest out of bed and see what he can do!"

"Good!"

Gray slowly lifted his legs, and just as he was about to take his first steps towards the church, a voice suddenly came.

"Baron Gray, did you see a suspicious person trying to leave the city?"

A group of guards hurried to Gray's side with torches.

"I'm not going to go out of town!"

"We know you're not going out of town, we're asking if you've seen any suspicious figures. ”

"I'm not suspicious!" Gray shouted.

The guards were helpless, so they hurriedly saluted Gray and left.

Only Gray was left in front of the church.

"They're suspicious of me, of me sneaking out of town......"

"Oh my God. I hate sentimental lichs, really. The black cat rolled his eyes helplessly: "How do you see that they suspect that you are going out of the city?"

"Isn't it? I'm the only one in the castle who wants to get out of the city, at least that's what they think. Therefore, they must have doubted me by saying these words, suggesting that I should not act rashly. I don't go to church!"

With that, Gray turned to leave.

"Stop!" the black cat hurriedly exclaimed: "You used to have a tendon in your brain, and you didn't want anything. Now I'm thinking too much about it. I really can't take it anymore...... Didn't you think maybe there was another person in the city who wanted to go out? There were so many people, there was always one, didn't it?"

"How is it possible, it's just me. ”

"Maybe there's another one?"

Before the words fell, I heard a "bang" not far behind me, and something fell from the tree.

Turning around, Gray saw a fat man lying on the ground, a parcel of things scattered all over the ground. After a few muffled wails, he got up from the ground and scrambled to pack his things.

"Mr. Pastor?"

Yes, this man is the pastor of the private church of the Bashire family.

He looked up in horror and stared blankly at Gray.

"Pastoral ......"

"Shh

The priest quickly got to his feet and grabbed Gray by the hand and pulled him into the church.

The door to the church was unlocked, and they easily entered. Keeping Gray in the way, the priest looked out cautiously through the crack in the door.

The soldier who had just walked by hurried back again.

"There seems to be some sound just now, it should be here!"

"Baron Gray was just here, could it be him?"

"Probably not. ”

"Hey, there's something on the ground?"

"It seems to be a pastor's. ”

"Knock knock!" came a knock on the door.

"Mr. Pastor, are you there, will you please open the door?"

The priest turned his head and shh

The torches in the soldier's hands shone through the crack in the door, illuminating the priest's face.

"Mr. Pastor, are these things yours? We picked them up outside and scattered them all over the place. ”

"Oh! it's mine, it's mine! I'm sorry, I just fell out of the second floor tidying up my things!

"Drop so much at once?"

"Uh...... Maybe twice? Anyway, thank you!", the priest snatched the thing, then slammed the door shut, and then leaned back against the door and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Reverend ......"

"Baron Gray, you are a pious knight, and you will not betray the priest who is a servant of God, right?" said the priest, spreading his hands, and walked in front of Gray.

"Look, another. The black cat muttered quietly.

......

Jones stood in the darkened living room, looking out the window expressionlessly.

The red moonlight swayed through the glass on his face, and there was an eerie feeling.

......

Finally, the mercenaries outside the city wall finally hung their flying claws on the city wall and began to climb up little by little.

"Slow down! Be careful! There are a lot of guards in here! If we are discovered, we will be finished! Especially if we are found after going up, it will be even worse, there is nowhere to escape!"

"So who is the one who is specifically advocating this kind of task?"

......

With Gray with him, the priest went to the small, cluttered living room of the church, put everything on the table, and lit the oil lamp.

"You may be seated. Baron Gray. ”

Gray sat down on the couch in a daze, looking around curiously.

The priest poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Gray, then poured himself a glass and drank it with a grunt.

"So, Priest, were you just planning to sneak out of the castle?"

"Poof!" the priest squirted water all over the ground, blinking at Gray, wiping his mouth and smiling awkwardly, "Huh...... Shall we change the subject? I noticed that you have been standing in front of the church for a long time, are you here to pray, or do you need to repent?"

"I'm here to enlighten you. Gray said.

"Oh, yes? You need enlightenment, I think your faith may be stronger than mine. I'll try my best, though. The priest took a deep breath and sat down across from Gray, "Please. ”

"I'm confused. ”

"Which one?"

"About chivalry. ”

"Well, and then what?"

"I used to believe in it, but these days, I don't know if I should continue to believe in it. ”

"Exactly?" the priest rolled his eyes.

"That's it...... Ireen is having a hard time right now, I hear about it every day in the castle, I have a vow with her, and I feel like I should help her. But she told me to stay in the castle and not go anywhere. This is also part of the vow. I didn't know what to do, and no matter what I did, it was like breaking my oath. ”

"Oh. ”

"Also, I'm willing to help everybody, as long as they ask me for help. But I'm not sure if helping others really helps them. I strictly follow the knightly oath, but...... I seem to have messed everything up. Things are not at all what I imagined. I should have paid attention to everyone's thoughts, but I couldn't fully understand what they were thinking, and they didn't even believe me. And to make matters worse, the knightly oath doesn't seem to be what it seems. It left me confused, hesitant, miserable, and I didn't even know what to do. Everything seems to be doable, and everything seems to be a mistake. ”

"Hmm...... Anything else?"

"No more. ”

The priest frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "Let me guess, you're trying to be a great knight, and trying to make everyone accept that you're a great knight, right?"

"Yes. Gray nodded.

"That's the problem. Listen, there is no one in this world that is acceptable to everyone, not even the Holy Spirit. Yes, you heard it right, and I didn't say it wrong. Neither can the Holy Spirit. I've met a lot of people who say they believe in the Holy Spirit and ask for His blessing. But I know that in their hearts the Holy Spirit is not. I used to hold a Bible in my hand every day, but after holding it for a long time, I felt that maybe not a single word in it was right. But this is not the confusion of faith, this is the confusion of life. Because you can't see the 'real' clearly. ”

"What is 'real'?"

The pastor tapped his hand lightly on the location of his heart, smiled and said, "'Truth' is your own heart." ”

Gray was stunned and stared blankly at the priest.

"Amazing, this magic stick is really professional. The black cat smiled and sighed.
