Chapter 254: Master and Apprentice Reunited
Chapter 254: Master and Apprentice Reunited
The monk recovered from his surprise, and the old man was extremely happy to reunite after a long absence, and he was extremely happy in his heart, in the face of this knight captain who was at the same level as himself at the current level in the church, and whose actual power was much higher than that of the paladin candidate, the monk did not feel uncomfortable, in his heart, the idea of respecting teachers and valuing education in his previous life can be said to be deep-rooted.
The expressions of the people around him were almost the same, these people could be said to be high-ranking figures in the province of Escal, usually calm and steady in the face of believers and others, but this time they were all extremely unified and long-mouthed, as was the old-fashioned and square Cardinal Jaén.
The Viscount Henry in front of him is the son of a great nobleman of the Empire, who has always traveled outside and has no reputation, but after returning to the Odan Empire with his partner three years ago, he joined the Knights of the Church of Light. This incident caused quite a stir, because according to Henry's family background, there was far better position waiting for him, and everyone thought that it was a hot-headed behavior of a gentleman.
However, to everyone's surprise, after Viscount Henry joined the Knights, he sat up step by step from the most ordinary knight with his martial arts and hard work, and within two years, he went to the Knights directly under the Church of Light in the Odan Empire as the captain, among which his strong martial arts and rigorous demeanor were particularly commendable.
Henry can be said to be the star of hope for the Church of Light of Odan, and many people are even optimistic that he will become the leader of the Knights of the Church of Light of Odan.
But such an outstanding person actually called Frit, who was about the same age as him, as his teacher, and his attitude was still so respectful, that several young priests couldn't help but look at the scenery outside the window, presumably to verify whether the sun was rising in the east today.
Hui Gang ignored what other people thought, and carefully looked at Henry, who had stood up straight, Henry's appearance had not changed much compared to a few years ago, but that kind of flying and jumping temperament had been replaced by the calmness of the whole body, the meridians had just been strengthened, and the sharpness in his eyes when the martial arts were first formed had been replaced by solemnity.
The current Henry can be said to have improved a lot compared to that time, but this kind of improvement Hui Gang understands in his heart that only by cultivating those martial arts and mental methods that he has taught can he reach the current realm.
You must know that the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin, even the basic martial arts, contain the cultivation of Buddhism, and the most important thing is to exercise people's temperament.
The reason why Henry is more respectful now than then is because over the years he has found that with his continuous cultivation of the martial arts taught by Hui Gang, the improvement in all aspects is faster than that of people with the same foundation, and the more he practiced, the more he felt that the time when he benefited the most from his life outside may be the time when he and Hui Gang got along in Red Moon Castle for a short time.
The monk nodded with satisfaction, although he looked rather strange as a young man, stretched out his hand to pat Henry's shoulder, and said softly:
"I haven't seen you for a long time, it seems that your martial arts are good. ”
At this time, Hui Gang was gentle and elegant in his every move, and he couldn't see any domineering, but Henry, who also practiced Shaolin martial arts, had a rare feeling, just like when he met Hui Gang near Red Moon Castle, although this blonde young man who was called Master by himself looked weak, but he exuded a fierce aura all over his body, as if he was not afraid of being enemies of the world at any time.
But now Hui Gang, up and down the body is like a mountain, I can't see any edges and corners that can make people feel involuntary respect, the first time I met Hui Gang at that time seems to be the stormy waves in the river, and now the monk is the sea, although quiet but contains the boundless sea.
Feeling the strength of Huigang, Henry, the respect in his heart strengthened a little.
Cardinal Hahn on the side finally recovered from the shock, looking at the two knights who came to Matt with Viscount Henry with an incredible expression, and only felt that everything seemed to be a magical anomaly, maybe the time and space had been reversed.
Cardinal Hahn coughed at first, then asked:
"Your Excellency Henry, you call Mr. Fleet (seeing Henry's respect, so he also added the title of Mr.) as a teacher, this is ......"
Seeing the reactions of these people, Henry immediately understood what kind of surprise his happy behavior brought to everyone, but he also had nothing to do with stage fright, and he generously followed the introduction of everyone, he raised his right hand in front of Hui Gang's heart, which is the posture used in the aristocratic circle of Odan to introduce his status to others as a close friend or elder.
Henry said respectfully:
"This is the teacher who taught me martial arts and saved my life, and my reunion with the teacher today is really a surprise. ”
Someone had already dropped the cup in his hand on the ground, and Cardinal Hahn felt that the atmosphere was getting more and more confused, and hurriedly interrupted, took a parchment scroll from the hand of the clerk next to him, nodded at Henry, and said:
"Your Excellency Henry, please tell us about this mission. ”
When Henry saw Hui Gang sit down, he nodded at the people present who had not yet recovered their surprise, and said aloud:
"Under the orders of Lord Pulin, the deputy head of the Knights of the Church of Light in Odan, the dangerous heretic Bastia has left the territory of the Leggins family and headed for the province of Escal of the Empire, Bastia's departure has broken the tacit agreement between the Legins family and the Church of Light, so all the Catholics of the Church of Light in Matt City must pay full attention to all the actions of this heretic and be ready to support at any time. ”
Hearing the name Bastia, the people who were still a little caught off guard by the reunion of the master and apprentice who suddenly appeared in front of them suddenly began to be surprised by this matter, and the Marquis of Bastia Leggins is now a hot topic of discussion in the aristocratic circles of this city.
Therefore, the bishop who presided over the church, a middle-aged man about forty years old, he was one of the people who had the most dealings with the outside world in the Church of Light, so it was very unexpected, when he heard that the task brought by the messenger who came this time was to deal with a marquis, and he was also a marquis of a big family with real power.
Immediately, with some fear and panic, he asked:
"That's a marquis, and the Doge has received her, and she's now the center of conversation in the aristocratic circles of the entire Matter. ”
After the bishop's words were finished, he suddenly saw that there was silence around him, and everyone looked at him with strange eyes, Cardinal Hahn had a trace of cold anger in his eyes, and his expression was still so old-fashioned, and he slowly opened his mouth:
"Al, as a radiant believer, what we need to do first is devotion to God, and then to earthly power, you know?"
Alton's face turned pale, knowing that he had said the wrong thing. Hui Gang sighed in his heart, thinking that this person was about to be unlucky, and sure enough, Hahn said in a stern tone:
"The town of Tosca needs an experienced priest to preside over the church, and Al is a good fit, so let's go now. ”
Tosca was a wild land in Escal, where the only specialties known were horse thieves and rocks in the barren land, and Al's face was covered with cold sweat, and he was sent there as a bishop to serve as the head of the Cult, no different from exile. Looking at the faces of his colleagues in the room, I knew in my heart that I had indeed said the wrong thing.
Because these words are tantamount to a ruthless loss of Cardinal Hahn in front of the messenger of the Church of Light in the capital of Odan, that is, Henry, to put it more seriously, it is a loss of face for the entire Matt Church of Light. So when the colleagues below saw him, their eyes were either disdainful or gloating, and those who had a good relationship also turned their heads around.
On the contrary, Henry is a little awkward there, his personality has become more and more measured in recent years, knowing that such a punishment is too heavy, and many of them are for them to see, if he doesn't speak, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to get the sincere cooperation of these local people in the future, he glanced at Hui Gang, the monk naturally knew what it meant, and nodded with a smile.
Henry turned to Cardinal Hahn and said:
"Lord Hahn, Lord Al must have considered whether the secular nobles approved of our actions or not, please do not blame him too much, this is the light of the God of Light that can spread widely in the world. ”
Since there was a step to go down, Cardinal Hahn nodded, and said to Bishop Al:
"Well, you'd better go to Tosca for a month, and then come back and go down and get ready. ”
After speaking, he waved his hand impatiently, inspection and preaching are completely two conceptual things, Alrumeng amnesty, he saw the exchange of looks between Huigang and Henry just now, and knew in his heart who should receive the affection, but he didn't say anything, glanced at it gratefully, and then left in a hurry with a cold sweat.
Seeing such a stern attitude of Cardinal Hahn, whether it was the bishop of the diocese below, or the head of the guard knights, they all expressed their full support to cooperate with Henry's monitoring and the rest of the actions, Hahn remained silent on the sidelines, and waited until basically everyone was doing what he did next, and then stood up and said lightly:
"Now that everyone is back to their work, please keep your today's secret. ”
