Although the other party seems to be kind and kind, Luo Ming will not be easily deceived by appearances.

No, it is too strange for such a high-ranking assistant bishop to say such flattering words to himself......

But if you think about it, it's more like a dubious new religion or a pyramid scheme than flattery?

Before Luo Ming could say anything, the third bishop of the Spring Goddess Church took advantage of the old man's slight pause to catch his breath and regain the right to speak.

She coughed, and then said, "As a nobleman of our Duchy of Lothar, loyal to the royal family, the goddess of spring water will definitely bless you!"

Now Luo Ming understands a lot - this old man is bored here, and wants to dig the corner of the principality by the way.

If the Church of the Lord of the Dawn poached a talent, then the Duchy would be considered one less talent - and the talents of the Duchy could basically be counted as the talents of the Church of the Goddess of Springs, so the third bishop of the Church of the Goddess of Springs would interject.

It's not that Luo Ming boasted, he became a sword master in his early twenties, that is really a talent among talents, and it is so rare.

Although the Orthodox Church, as well as between the Church and the state, will not easily engage in armed struggle, this kind of poaching is still often done.

The side that lacks fresh blood will naturally decline, while the side that has been adequately replenished will prosper, and will gradually rise and fall apart in peace without the need for armed struggle.

The old man laughed awkwardly twice, and said no more, just whispered something to the Templar chief beside him.

Then he declared the end of the inquiry.

"After the investigation by the trial court, it was confirmed that Mr. Lockin and Ms. Grant had no fault or guilt in this cult incident, and that they bravely and firmly fought against evil and made outstanding contributions.

Accordingly, Miss Grandi was awarded a Meritorious Defender of the Order of the Third Class and a Meritorious Defender of the Second Class was awarded to Mr. Login. ”

The old man tapped the gavel, and then a waiter next to him came over with a tray in his hand.

The two brass medallions were held in a jewelry box, which was not expensive and not very beautiful, but it was significant.

Medals have also existed on the mainland for hundreds of years, and they basically represent glory and martial arts. In particular, the medals issued by those who are in authority, such as those issued by the prince and emperor or the church, are a very decent decoration even if they are brought to the ball where the great nobles gather.

The medal awarded by the Inquisition, although it was really cheap, was of great significance—for example, the one that Luo Ming received was an honor that was recognized by the Grand Duke and the various temples present in this transcript.

The so-called "Order of the Ardent Defender" is a symbol of honor awarded to heroes who are not members of the Church but are dedicated to fighting evil.

As long as Luo Ming holds such a badge, in the eyes of these churches, he can be regarded as half of his own people. It would be easier for him to deal with the church, whether it was to ask the pastor to perform magic or ask the church for assistance.

With that end of the questioning, Lormine and Grant gave another salute before exiting the courtroom-like lobby.

However, before they could walk out of the door of the Inquisition at the end of the corridor, a door suddenly opened, and the coadmiral bishop of the Church of Dawn emerged from there.

It's a tribunal that can be turned into a military fortress at any time...... Are there so many secret passages inside?

"Is there anything else, Lord Bishop?" Luo Ming asked casually, as he muttered in his heart.

"Mr. Lockin, would you like to be a knight of the Inquisition?" said the old man in a sincere tone, "Your territory is in Vanchyshire, and our Dawn Church has 100,000 acres of territory in the parish of Vanchy, and if you are willing to become a knight of the Inquisition, you can receive a large amount of money every year." If you are willing to join the Knights of our Church of the Dawn directly as a supernumerary member, then I can sign an agreement now to give you 10,000 acres of territory as a fief-"

"Thank you very much for your kindness, and I am also very fond of the teachings of the Lord of Dawn because of Miss Grandi's upbringing.

Still, I hope to be a traditional aristocratic ......"

Sometimes there is no need to say much about this kind of old fox, Luo Ming thinks.

After all, people with a lot of experience and deep wisdom are more likely to expand on short words without authorization, and add a whole lot of their own understanding.

And for this matter, the old man did carry out excessive interpretation.

Traditional aristocracy...... That is, maintaining a relatively friendly but not intimate relationship with the church, there may be some friction in private, and there is a appearance of harmony on the table.

The aristocracy that gets too close to the church will basically be ostracized by the other nobles.

Although it is possible to enter the kingdom of God after death by believing in the true God, the true God is not a monopoly, and it is not the only one. Since it is believed that any true god can ascend to heaven after death, then the nobles must be left and right, and they can only gain more benefits if they do not stand in line.

Having created such a long explanation in his mind without authorization, the old man pondered for a moment, and then still maintained a smile and said:

"Well, young man, I wish you never waver in the right path, never fall into the temptation of the abyss, never succumb to evil, and keep your noble and upright aspirations...... Of course, if you change your mind in the future, you can always come to the Dawn Church to find me. ”

Then he glanced at Grant again, and then left without saying a word.

Luo Ming was also about to leave, but found that Grant was stunned, so he patted her on the shoulder and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Ah...... I always feel like I've seen this old man somewhere. Granty looked up, trying to remember.

"Maybe he's a friend of your grandfather's old friends, probably when he met him when he was a child, and then his memory became blurry. ”

Luo Ming said.

Then, he suddenly realized that there was a suspicion in such an explanation.

The old man just now was the second-in-command of the Dawn Church in the principality, and he was the most likely to take over as the number one - he could be regarded as a top figure in the entire church system.

He had stared at Grant several times before, obviously knowing what she looked like.

Such a big man will know Granty, and only by knowing her grandfather can he explain.

So what kind of big shot is Granty's grandfather?

If he is not of the same position as the assistant bishop, it is hard to imagine that the assistant bishop knows that he has such a granddaughter and is impressed.
