028: The Lord Says: 'Covetousness is Sin'
The dazzling cold light pierced the inky night, the sharp sword split through the thorns that stood in the way, and the stumps and leaves that rose into the air slipped from Fred's shoulder, and when they fell to the ground, they could only faintly see his back in the darkness.

Through the moonlight, it was evident that Fred was surrounded by a faint blue flame, and from the magic patterns that flickered from time to time, it could be judged that this was a clever use of the two dark spells of 'Bloodthirsty' and 'Blight', which could greatly increase Fred's speed.
At this time, the excited smile on his lips, his eyes were even brighter, staring straight ahead with a mixture of ferocity and joy, like a hound staring at his prey, sweeping along his line of sight, and it could be vaguely seen that there was a slender figure fleeing not far away.
The chase did not last long, and the old man who was hobbling was finally chased by the heroic Fred in an open field, as if he knew that there was no hope of escape, and the old man stopped here and turned around.
"It was a great surprise to me that no one would have thought that such an inconspicuous old man as you would be a bishop when I was in the dining room."
Fred, who threw his blonde hair back and was steaming, slowed his pace with his sword, as if enjoying the thrill of catching up with his prey, while his eagle-like eyes stared more directly into Bishop Dipheck's eyes, as if trying to see something from inside.
To Fred's surprise, at this time, he did not read the fear and despair that should have been in the other party's eyes, on the contrary, some of them were calm!
Fred stopped.
The instincts honed on the battlefield made him realize that something was wrong, especially when he saw the other party's steady posture compared to his own breathing, which immediately made him understand why he tried his best to chase before, and it was always a fraction of a second.
"Excellent young man, I feel a great potential in you, no one will doubt that you will have that bright future, you have not failed, but you have less time to sharpen your sharp mind and the strength of your strong self," Bishop Dilfick said, with a compliment
Fred's face did not improve because of this compliment, he remained vigilant, and said coldly: "Say, lure me here, it won't be just to make me swell."
"Your wisdom has once again strengthened my faith in God the Father, and I have seen you in the darkness, and He has not forsaken us godly servants"
Seeing that the other party did not mean to move at all, but said strange things, Fred's face became very surprised, and at this moment, Bishop Difick slowly opened the bag he was carrying and took out a long sword, when Fred's eyes fell on the long sword, it was difficult to take it off.
The azure blue light shines on the silver-white sword body continuously, like purple lightning and blue frost, forcing the cold to seep out from the blade from time to time, as if as long as you hold the sword, the beginning of the frost blade is to capture the dragon and slay the dragon!
What made Fred's heart even more shocked was that he clearly felt a wave of magic power fluctuations from this long sword, obviously this was a magic weapon!
At the moment of temptation, the more alert Fred became, the hand holding the long sword tightened and loosened, and the magic power on his body surged up and then quickly faded, after a long time, he finally gave up the idea of killing people and snatching the sword, dissipated the killing intent all over his body, and muttered: "Say, what do you want?"
"I'm just an old man on the verge of death, and I don't want to live a precarious old age, and a place to spend the rest of my life is my greatest wish at this time," Difeck said sincerely, dragging his sword in both hands
Fred frowned, he naturally knew what the consequences would be if the remnants of the Holy See were discovered, not to mention that the seemingly ordinary old man in front of him was still a high-ranking bishop! Although the temptation in front of him was great, the corresponding risks were by no means something that could be underestimated.
"I think you, young master, and your family will need this sword, this night sword in the dark" Difeck's next words finally moved Fred, and he said in a sonorous voice: "A parish soldier, let your sword point, cut thorns for you"
.........
The white moonlight shone in from the window and sprinkled on Luo Xi's body, and his already white and handsome face was bathed in the moonlight, and with a hint of his slightly upturned mouth, the corners of his mouth revealed a strange taste.
Now he was leaning back on the bed, one foot slightly propped up, and a book with gold wire trimming placed on his knees, and he gazed at the pages, and read the hymn softly:
"The Lord said, 'Covetousness is sin'"
House 128 Varan Avenue
"Ahem!"
A slight cough sounded in the spacious hall, and Baron Cayo took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the spit on the corner of his mouth, his brow furrowed slightly.
Although he has always lived a life of cooking gold and jade, as he gets older, Baron Cailliaud still understands the meaning of the phrase "time is not forgiving", especially in the past two years, he feels a little powerless and out of shape for many things.
I want to let go of my mundane things and live a good life, but I can't find anyone to help with the burden on my shoulders.
Because of the infertile relationship between his wife in the early political marriage, Baron Cailliaud survived until the death of the main family, and only had his first child at the age of confusion, so that now he is dying, and the question of the relevant heir is still entangled in his sleep.
Although the two sons are very good, especially the rare martial arts talent of the younger son, if he is more stable, he can completely reproduce the glory of the family!
But his character... It's hard to be reassured... Otherwise, it would be beneficial for the whole family to let him go to the military department for a few years...
I think the Reeves family, who were the chief of the Landnott Elders' Cabinet at the beginning, are now reduced to the last seat where they have almost no right to speak... Whether it will survive this power dispute is still unknown...
"Ahem!"
At the thought of this, Baron Cailliaud coughed more and more
At this moment, a subordinate approached
"What's the matter?" said Baron Cailliaud, resuming his usual majesty
"Someone outside the door wants to see you," said the next person after saluting, pausing and adding: "It's the child of the Tello family."
"The Tro family?" Baron Cailliaud recalled slightly, frowning, and continued, "What is he doing here?"
After a pause, he waved his hand and said, "I made an appointment with Baron Bose for afternoon tea in the afternoon, so tell him I'm not there."
"But my lord...", the subordinate who received the benefit fee hesitated for a moment and said, "He said that he found a volume of Dou Qi cultivation manual when he was sorting out Baron Carlos's relics, and he hoped to give it to you."
"Carlos's vindictive handbook?" Baron Cayo's eyes lit up, and he pondered Shaoqing, and muttered: "Okay, you can take him to the study and wait for me"
"Yes, my lord"
The deputy stood in the spacious study, and Roshi's eyes fell on the huge oil painting in front of him, which depicted a family of seven brothers and sisters dining.
The painter's level is good, the colors are clear and the ink is appropriate, although it does not reach the exaggerated realm of breaking the painting as if it is here, but in the end it depicts the scene of a family dining vividly and vividly, and what is more interesting is that there are some interesting things hidden in this painting.
"A Happy Family"
A voice from behind interrupted Roshi's train of thought, and when he turned around, he saw Baron Cailliaud in a brown gown entering the study, with a kind and kind smile on his face, looking at Roch and explaining: "This is the name of this painting, I bought it from the auction house, it's been a long time, Roshi"
"Good day, Uncle Cayo, thank you for the wand you gave me when we parted last time..."A simple greeting, and at the same time, Roshi looked at Cayo's expression that was obviously disguised to look at his junior, and sighed slightly, and after saluting, he suddenly asked before Baron Cayo could speak again
"May I ask the name of the author of this painting? Uncle Cayo?"
"Looks like you're interested in this painting?" Baron Cailliaud smiled, paused and continued, "Maybe you're going to be disappointed, because this is from an unknown painter, and time has long since disappeared."
"Unknown painter?" Roch said in surprise, "It is hard to imagine that this is an unknown painter with such an ingenious brush."
"Do you know what makes this painting so special?" Cayo said
"Different, very aptly described" After agreeing with Cailliaud's point of view, Luo Xi pointed to the oil painting, pretending to be unintentional, and explained generously: "The bracelet with seven colors of our daytime distinction between high and low represents the status of the seven siblings, you see this eldest sister"
"She looked industrious and simple tidying up the table, and the golden pattern on the hem of her plain dress was clearly from the precious Merris gold thread, which had been used exclusively by the royal family since the war, and it symbolized power and status, which shows that the eldest sister is inconsistent."
"Look at the fourth and fifth brothers who are fighting with each other with paintbrushes, it looks like it's just ordinary fighting, but the direction of the arm and palm of the third brother wrapped around the neck of the fourth child is holding the throat of the fourth child, and the position of the brush on the third child is exactly his heart!"
"The dignified and generous third sister is matched with the stockings of a cheap prostitute, and the ink is heavy, and the blush on her face is not difficult to guess that she is pretending to be reading."
"The plate in front of the youngest sister, who was sitting at the table, only had traces of residual food in the middle, and her eyes were staring at the leftover food that her brother next to her was eating."
"The sixth brother who sat on the ground like an imbecile drooling and playing with toys is probably the smartest one among them, the tail of the wooden horse in his hand is extremely sharp, obviously a self-defense weapon, and his position is also the closest to the door, and the half-squatting and half-kneeling sitting posture allows him to get up and flee as quickly as possible."
"As for this second brother leaning against the corner..."Luo Xi looked at it carefully for a while: "I can't see it clearly for a while, but judging from the boss's eyes staring at him alone, there should be a lot of content."
"Anyway—" After recounting everything he could see from the painting, Roch turned to look at the stunned Baron Cailliaud, smiled slightly, and concluded
"It's really a 'happy family'"
