Chapter 254: Ghosts
Alyssa walked the corridors of the church, and she rushed back to the church as soon as the tide appeared, but when she arrived, the Knight of the Round Table Gawain had already taken the lead in the front, and now Ramov would also lead the Inquisition to support the advance force. Their departure gave her the opportunity to meet the bishop in private.
Fighting monsters has always been a long and difficult task, but before rushing to the battlefield, she must solve the doubts in her mind.
At this time of nine years, she and Melia, the second alternate of the Round Table, were given the same task of protecting the V, but now, nine years later, the latter has long been excommunicated, and it now appears that she has been taken in by the Moussa consortium and has become the number one soldier under Eric.
However, there are still many doubts in this.
The Church's verdict against Melia characterized her as a murderer who had lost her mind, and with what Elisa knew about Melia, the latter was by no means as insane as the Church had been, at least when she worked with Melia, the other person was nowhere near as bad as the Church had portrayed. But this time, she found that Melia had completely changed, and that Melia would never insist on chasing and killing a little girl.
When doubts arise, Alyssa leaves the Muses Consortium alone and re-examines the events of the year in the church's notebook.
There are more doubts.
For such a momentous event and verdict, the handbook recorded only a few lines. If it hadn't been for the accident nine years ago, Melia would have been the one who would have competed with her for the Knights of the Round Table, and for such an important knight, the report about her would have looked like it had been written by hand later.
Someone may be hiding something, and someone who knows about the events of nine years ago is now in the church. And she also has the right to dialogue on an equal footing.
Before Alyssa could push the door, she heard the sound of conversation in the council.
One of the voices came from the bishop, and the other man's voice was faintly familiar to her. The atmosphere of the conversation did not seem pleasant, and after the man asked questions, there was a long silence in the council.
He asked, "I also happened to hear about Melia's situation over the years, which is a violation of the original agreement. ”
"I am very sorry for what happened to Melia, the candidate of the Round Table, but don't forget that the reason why she has fallen to the position she is today is also the result of your will, and if it were not for that massacre, the Church would have intended to promote her to a higher position. ”
"Tut, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you're still so good at shirking responsibility and saying pretty things. ”
The man's tone was slightly mocking.
"Watch your attitude!"
"Otherwise, don't you want to fight me here?" the man raised an eyebrow.
Seeing this, the bishop changed his attitude: "You and I both understand that sometimes sacrifice is inevitable, I regret what happened to Knight Melia, but if there is a chance to do it again, I will still make the same decision without hesitation, if you really thought about her in the first place, you shouldn't let her get involved." ”
"It seems that there is nothing left between us to talk about. ”
"You came here overnight just to accuse the church of what it did?"
"Of course not, but I'm losing trust in the Church, and if you need more movement from the Chaos Church, you'll have to trade it for the corresponding chips. ”
"Chips?"
"Based on Cyndora's recent movements, I have reason to believe that she is preparing more far-reaching plans in exchange for this...... The trial of Melia nine years ago was revoked. ”
"No way, I hope you understand who you're dealing with - this is the church, not the Chamber of Commerce!"
"It seems that the negotiations have been stalled at the beginning, but it doesn't matter, I will change all this in my own way. ”
"What do you want to do?" the bishop immediately became alarmed.
"That's where your creativity comes in...... Speaking of creativity, didn't you choose me to do this task because of that?"
The man said no more, he knew that nothing would be gained even if the conversation continued, and he was not willing to devote his time and energy to a fat man who was getting richer and richer. It is better to sneak into the women's bathhouse or molest the young and beautiful female knights of the church.
With a little index finger, the council was pushed away by an invisible force, and when he reached the door, he pretended to be abrupt and reminded without looking back: "Oh, by the way, you have to deal with more than just the small demon tide in the north, I happened to find that the sixth was almost killed on the way here, and now I have been going for a long time, I don't know if the Henry clan is dead." ”
With that, he walked out of the room.
With a hook of the index finger, the invisible silver thread sealed the door, leaving the bishop with a blue face and a white face.
Before the man could take a few steps, someone stopped him.
"Wait a minute. ”
Looking at the other person's tall back, Alyssa vaguely thought of someone familiar.
Only now he was wearing a black robe, his whole face was hidden in the cloak, and when he turned his head, the dark green flames under the skull mask flickered at her a few times. His armband was long gone, with the golden sword and shield emblem symbolizing glory, and he looked like a ghost wandering in the darkness.
"Oh, what an adventure, Alyssa. ”
Seeing that the person who stopped him was Alyssa, the man's tone immediately turned a hundred and eighty degrees, and he said enthusiastically: "I heard that you have been promoted to Knight of the Round Table, congratulations, I was unable to attend your ordination ceremony due to official duties, but now I have some time, do you want to have a drink or a candlelight dinner together? ”
The man's familiar tone made Alyssa stunned for a while.
She was not familiar with each other, and the only few encounters she had came from his blatant flirtation with Melia in the church, and she had seen each other a few times during the nine years of guarding the royal city.
Belvede, the Knight of the Round Table, the most lascivious and most unchivalrous guy in the Council of the Round Table.
"What ...... are you dressed for?" Alyssa couldn't react for a moment.
"Would you believe me if I said I went to the Chaos Cult's drag party just now?" Belvede replied in this way, the neighing of monsters outside the church became more and more obvious, and through the hidden window, he could faintly see more and more birds and monsters in the sky: "It seems that now is not the best time for a candlelight dinner, next time, I'll have a treat." ”
Alyssa doesn't know how Melia can put up with the other party, but with Belvede's appearance, things seem to take a turn for the worse.
"Before you leave, tell me what happened nine years ago, and what's going on at the palace?"
"Yes, but in exchange, you'll have to promise me one condition. ”
Belvede smiled slyly.
