Chapter XXIV: The Back of the Letter

The cathedral at night is different from the daytime, and there is no constant stream of worshippers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ€‚ info Occasionally, a few priests or knights hurried through the corridors, but it made the place seem more quiet and solemn, full of oppression.

Benjamin sat in the previous confessional with Michelle's letter in his hand, waiting for the bishop's arrival.

The day-to-day work of the church did not seem to be busy, and the bishop soon came to the other side of the confessional. Of course, it is also possible that the church attaches great importance to Benjamin, no, it should be said that it values Michelle, which is why it came so quickly.

"Lord Reese, night is not a good time to repent. โ€

Through a thin veil, only the bishop could be heard speaking slowly. There was no blame in his tone, it should have just hinted that Benjamin had something to say and not to waste time.

Benjamin was not verbose, and immediately spoke, making a look of panic:

"Your Excellency, her letter is here again. โ€

As he spoke, he handed over the envelope in his hand.

The bishop took it, opened the envelope and looked at it, his movements in stark contrast to his prevarication.

The content of the letter is not much, and it will not take much time to read it. But the bishop read it and did not speak, but stared at the letter paper, muttering, and the deep outline was imprinted by the light on the tulle of the confessional, and he was moody.

Benjamin waited for a moment, but he couldn't wait for the bishop to speak, so he had to speak first:

"What should I do, my lordship? If I go to such a chaotic place in the ruins of the prison, I am afraid that I will be held hostage by her again. The Bishop ......"

Benjamin was only halfway through his play when the bishop waved him off.

After interrupting Benjamin, the bishop pondered for a moment, and finally spoke: "Where did this letter come from?"

Benjamin immediately replied, "My lord, I found it under the pillow in my bedroom." It was so horrible that I didn't see her at all, and she just sneaked into our house without even noticing. Your Excellency, you must protect us. โ€

He wanted some practical protection from the church. Not to mention helping him lift the curse, but at least so that he won't have half the ability to protect himself when Michelle suddenly appears.

"God will bless you. โ€

With a word, the bishop blocked Benjamin's request. Before Benjamin could be disappointed, he heard the bishop ask, "Was there anything unusual about this letter when it appeared, and why didn't it spontaneously combust like the last one?"

Benjamin was shocked.

Oops, he ignored that.

Previously, in order to win the bishop's trust, he fabricated Michelle's "first letter" to him, which he said spontaneously combusted after reading it. However, at the moment, there is no sign of spontaneous combustion in this letter, which does seem a little suspicious.

Why does the first letter spontaneously combust and the second letter does not?

This is no small problem. Benjamin only regretted why he hadn't thought of it before.

Although the tone of the bishop's question was not very serious, as if it was just a casual question, Benjamin knew in his heart that if he did not handle this issue well, it would definitely arouse the bishop's suspicion. No one will trust an inconsistent person.

At this moment, countless thoughts passed through Benjamin's mind over and over again. He had to answer the question and not yet show hesitation. It would be worse for the bishop to see his hesitation than to give a bad answer.

Therefore, he had no time to think, so he could only make a look of ignorance and reply:

"Uh...... I don't know, why didn't it spontaneously combust like the last time?"

This is not a well-founded answer. Benjamin knew in his heart that this was not even an answer, but pretending to be a white person doing tai chi. As soon as the words came out, regret began to sprout. He regretted that he wasn't smart enough to handle the scene better......

However, the wood is already in the boat, and it is useless for him to regret it here.

He had tried to make his tone as real as possible, but whether he could convince the bishop was left to fate.

However, at the end of the confessional, the bishop pinched the letter and did not speak.

Benjamin couldn't help but get nervous, he was so nervous that his soul was going out of his body. He sensed that in the next second, the bishop might lift the veil and shout at him, "You liar who deceived God! Go to Hell!" and burn him to ashes with the Holy Light.

What the Bishop would think, Benjamin had no clue. Will he be suspicious? Will he be angry? Will he already know everything? Is there already a paladin all around, just waiting for an order to take him down?

It's like the Last Judgment.

The bishop's silence was no more than twenty seconds, but for Benjamin it was as long as twenty years.

At last, he spoke, and Benjamin had never found the dull voice so uplifting:

That's because she found you a faithful servant of God. She gave you this letter knowing that you would give it to me. She wanted to use this to set a trap and take shameless revenge on the church. โ€

Benjamin was pardoned.

Half his life is going to scare him away.

OK...... Thankfully, he thinks so. The worst didn't happen, and the bishop guessed Michelle's intentions, but didn't suspect Benjaminโ€”at least as it sounded.

He didn't know whether to say that the bishop was not vigilant enough, or that he was too lucky.

Of course, perhaps the bishop didn't think about himself from beginning to end, so he didn't think in that direction at all, Benjamin was just scaring himself.

Or, perhaps, the bishop has only Michelle in his eyes. Whether Benjamin has a different heart or not doesn't matter to him. He only needs to figure out Michelle's intentions and concentrate on dealing with Michelle. Benjamin is a teenage hairy child, and he doesn't pay attention to it at all.

I hope I never let the bishop look at me. Benjamin thought so.

"My lord, in five days, do I want to go to the lower city......" He did not end his panicked performance, and continued to test the bishop's thoughts.

"No need. It's her trap, and there's no way she'll ever be found there. The bishop replied calmly.

Hearing this, Benjamin had a headache again.

Michel's previous letter reads: "Give the second page to the bishop of St. Peter's Basilica and convince him to believe what it says." Now the bishop did not doubt himself, but he did not believe the letter anymore. Benjamin didn't know if the situation would satisfy Michelle.

He can't say that he doesn't know, but in fact, he knows very well that the bishop will definitely make Michelle angry when he sees through Michelle's plan. If Michelle gets angry, she will have to suffer.

Moreover, it is also contrary to his own "bitter meat plan".

I had to find a way to convince the bishop...... At the very least, Benjamin had to convince him to send someone to the prison site that day. Even if only one knight was bruised together with Benjamin, it should make Michelle feel that he was still obedient.

After thinking about it again, Benjamin had no choice but to bite the bullet and become Michelle's "lobbyist":

"But, Lord Bishop, is that why she will be spared? she wants to take revenge on the Church, and she will definitely leave a trail there, and we cannot just let her go. Your Excellency, a servant of God, never fears the Fallen who are tempted by the Devil!"

Michelle's lobbyist is not good, and Benjamin can only barely pull out a few words. It has to be convincing, but it doesn't make the bishop feel that something is wrong, and it doesn't seem to be too smart. Benjamin came up with such a "theological" point of view after several deliberations.

You're right, God's servants never fear the lackeys of the devil. However, when it comes to "theology," the bishop is still a step ahead, "but the devil has always been cunning, and we cannot fall into their trap in vain." God is powerful and wise. God sees that every faithful servant never makes a fearless sacrifice. Therefore, we should not risk our lives. โ€

Benjamin was speechless. Clearly, the bishop was still jealous of Michelle's exaggerated strength.

He really wanted to tell the bishop that Michelle's magical prowess was actually like that, and she couldn't even beat a team of "cleaners", but he held back. Don't forget, the Church had extracted his memories, and the memories of him and Michelle hiding from the "Cleansers" were not within the scope of the Church's extraction.

He could only watch as Michelle wielded her non-existent chips and made a show off in the battle with the church.

To be honest, as long as Benjamin helps the church kill Michelle, the church will naturally help him lift the curse. But the actions of the church were so constrained, and Benjamin was not confident that they could kill Michelle completely.

If you can't kill Michelle completely, he's going to suffer himself. Therefore, he can only vacillate between the two parties, entangled.

"In that case, Bishop, can you give me a little more protection? This witch is so unscrupulous, I am worried about the safety of me and my family. She can put the letter under the pillow in my bedroom today, and if she takes me away again tomorrow, I will no longer be able to provide news to God. After a brief hesitation, he shifted his goals and said.

There are downsides to swinging, but there are certainly benefits to it. Benjamin can only do his best for the good now.

As for whether Michelle will be dissatisfied with the failure of his plan, it is not something he can consider at this moment. He could not convince the bishop, who feared that he would doubt his purpose and loyalty.

Seriously, he felt that this trip to the church was much more of a failure than the last one. If he couldn't get some benefits from the bishop, then he wouldn't be able to live this life, so he just banged his head against the pillar to see if he could wear it back.

Naturally, God does not neglect any faithful believer. The Bishop also seemed to realize that it was unreasonable not to give Benjamin something, so after a brief silence, he handed Benjamin a cross necklace through the tulle, "This is a token infused with divine powers, which will protect you from any demonic power." However, you should note that the divine power in it can only last three times, and after three times, it will lose its ability to exorcise witchcraft. โ€

That's what I want!

Benjamin swept away the gloom of his mood and happily took the cross.

With this, although Michelle was still able to threaten him with a curse, at least, she couldn't kidnap herself again - it was impossible to kidnap him without restraint magic, he had a mouth, he would scream.

Moreover, this cross is something that Michelle does not know. As a result, it can be its own hole card and pull another round back for Benjamin at a crucial moment, just like the last time.

A cunning person like Michelle is not afraid of someone who is stronger than her, but afraid of what she doesn't know.

"You hold the cross in your hand and pray in your heart, and you can also alert the nearest knight patrol. They will rush over to help you. Benjamin was not happy enough to hear the bishop add, "But this feature can only be used three times, so don't use it until your life is in danger." โ€

Hearing this, Benjamin became even more excited, and looked at the cross in his hand like a baby.

Put it in the online game,This is the god costume! Not only can you be exempted.,You can also summon powerful fighters.,Even if there's no attribute bonus.,But it doesn't occupy the equipment column!

This thing will be his gold medal for avoiding death in the future!

"Thank God for His gift. With excitement, Benjamin felt that this sentence was a hundred times more sincere than before.

"As long as you pray, God will bless you. The bishop said lightly, "Okay, you have enough time to repent, and I will let the knight escort you back." Today's confession exists only in the memories of God and you and me, and no one else will know about it. โ€

"Yes, Your Excellency. Benjamin didn't say anything more, but nodded in agreement. Everything he could have done was done, and he was ready to leave, and the bishop's eviction order was exactly what he wanted.

After getting the good things, he had nothing else to ask for.

Benjamin stood up and walked out of the confessional. The bishop in the confessional did not do anything, and a knight walked in and sent Benjamin out of the church very respectfully.

And so, although things didn't go as planned, Benjamin left the church with some satisfaction.

The bishop himself, however, remained in the confessional until Benjamin was completely gone, silent and motionless.

Another knight approached, stood on the edge of the confessional, and called softly, "Lord Bishop." โ€

The bishop waved his hand and motioned for the knight to remain silent.

So the knight was silent, and followed the bishop in an eerie silence.

"What the hell is she trying to do?"

Suddenly, the bishop looked at the letter in his hand, and his voice echoed from the confessional to the dome of the synagogue.

A stunned look appeared on the knight's face, and he wanted to answer, but soon realized that the bishop was not talking to him. Therefore, he chose to remain silent.

I saw the bishop muttering to himself as he raised his palm. Out of thin air, a golden flame appeared in his palm, the flame swaying, brilliant and holy.

With his other hand, he placed the letter on top of the flame and roasted it quietly.

The knight stared at the letter, curious, but did not dare to ask more. As time passed, the firelight reflected on his face, but it reflected his expression of surprise little by little.

"This is ......" In the end, he couldn't help but open his mouth in shock.

The bishop's voice, still as calm as a dead man, said:

A message from the Fallen. โ€

I saw that on the back of the letter, a line of words that had not been there before appeared silently at this moment.
