A quarter of an hour before the naïve and ignorant Great Demon King stepped into the bishop's chamber, there was such a conversation between the bishop and his knights.

"Francis, the abbot of the Abbey of St. Dores has made a wish to go to the Eternal City and wants to find a capable knight to accompany him, and I recommend you to him."

"I'm not going."

"Isn't it good to go to the Eternal City? It's a rare opportunity to see the Pope and open your eyes, and you can see the many saints and monuments there. ”

"I'm not going."

"Francis, you don't listen to my orders? Don't you remember the oath you swore to me? ”

"I swear to protect you, how can I leave you until your assassin is caught? What's more, you didn't mean to send me away, did you? ”

The bishop who was debunked coughed twice and did not speak.

The knight received this disguised affirmation, and he became more and more bold: "There are so many things to do now, and there are so few people under you, and you still want to support me—why?" ”

The bishop still did not speak.

"Sue me, why?" The knight stared at the bishop with his blue eyes with concern, pressing in step with each step.

"Uh--go to the Eternal City is also Sunnah, what do you do so much!"

"Someone threatened you?"

"Nope! Where do you think of it! ”

"That's ......," the knight suddenly had an idea when he saw that the bishop was reluctant to confide, "do you think that I have done a bad job and am not worthy to serve you?" He half-knelt at the bishop's feet and bowed his head.

"Where's the word!"

"But......" the knight's voice was muffled and slightly nasal.

"But." The Bishop frowned, he really didn't want to tell the truth to the knight—he didn't want to drag him into the water—the knight had been deceived by him out of sincere conviction. Not that kind of partner in interest, if the latter. He didn't care - he wouldn't hesitate to send a knight to battle. cause

It was also an honour for him to die by the sword - but the path he was about to take......

But looking at the current situation, if he didn't talk about it, let alone send the knight away, he couldn't leave him even a single step.

He thought for a moment, where to start?

Finally, he opened with a story that Luo Yi once told him: "If there is an iron house, it is windowless and difficult to break, and there are many sleeping people in it, and they will soon suffocate to death." However, from slumber to death, I do not feel the pain of death, and now I want to smash open this iron house

The shouting woke up a few people who were more sober, and made these unfortunate people suffer the irreparable pain of dying, and made them resent me, and they cursed me when they died, so that they could not die without worry......"

"How can you not feel pain when you suffocate like that?" The knight couldn't figure it out. "Once upon a time, we knocked people unconscious and threw them into the water, and when they were dying, they kicked their legs desperately!"

"That's because you didn't work hard enough, besides. It's a metaphor. The bishop clutched his head, and he thought of the terrible situation of Tournest, and spoke in a lower voice: "It's just a metaphor. You know, I'm going to scream for someone to get up and smash down this iron house. It's impossible to do and makes people angry.

Quite possibly, before the iron house was smashed, we were stoned to death by the angry men. And, even when we go outside, it's still snowy, and when they go out, they will starve and freeze, and when they think of eating and dressing, they will resent us, saying that it's better to be in the house than to die of hunger and cold outside

Suffocation comes refreshingly. ”

"Who dares to resent you!" The knight said angrily, his golden eyebrows raised like a lion erecting its mane, and he clenched his fist, and the muscles in his arms bulged, indicating that he was not speaking casually, "Who dares to smash you?" ”

"......" talked to a man full of muscles about philosophy, and he was really fed, "in short, you must know that if you continue to follow me, I am afraid that you will die a dishonorable death, and that people in the future will curse you, because you have ruined their hope of suffocating happily." ”

"That kind of fool, their admiration is not worth a penny, let alone their curse," the knight snorted, "and every clown I knocked off my horse cursed me not to die well, I am not alive and well, they died first." ”

The bishop was forced to tell the truth: "In order to break this room, I am afraid that I will seek the help of the devil...... That's why I'm going to send you away, you know? ”

Someone who is a little more familiar with the doctrine will realize that the bishop has embarked on an evil path when he thinks of this, and he must resolutely stop it, and if he can't stop it, he should denounce it, but ......

The knight was a pagan barbarian of northern origin, and he knew no more about the teachings of religion than the drawing of a cross, and in terms of piety, and even more so with the Duke of Ulrich, who was diligent in robbing monasteries and meeting with abbesses alone, and his devotion to the bishop came not from religion, but from the deeds of the other party

Rule.

So, when he heard this, he hurriedly followed in the footsteps of his idol.

Half-kneeling, he bowed his head and kissed the bishop's ring, and said—"What are you worried about, dear master? For your sake, even if you call me to Hell to fetch water now! ”

The unfortunate Great Demon King rushed in at this moment with his head held high and a large pile of drawings, witnessing this scene unprepared, and was hit by this flashbang at the moment, leaving only a layer of bloody skin.

Feed! You guys!

Watch the time! It's still daylight!

Pay attention to the location! This is the church...... Belch...... Watch out for the impact!

Pay attention to the behavior! You guys...... You guys...... What are you doing!

It's that you don't pay attention to the time, place, occasion, behavior, and influence...... Please close the door! That way, I'll at least knock on the door before I come in!

The Great Demon King, who was naïve and ignorant and did not read the book - did not read Balzac, so naively thought that what she did not know was that even if she knocked on the door, the result would not change much. Because such postures were actually common among master and servant in this era, the words spoken by the knight were used by Balzac to describe friendship and loyalty

The reason why she felt dizzy, lost too much blood and had difficulty breathing was because she had seen too much of the pure love of the green station recommended by her classmates, and her soul was corroded to the point of being full of holes, and her resistance to this pure and noble relationship was negative......

Next time I'll have to bring a bottle of salt with me, the Great Demon King thought in distress.

The two men thought she had been out of breath because she had been running away with such a large pile of papers, so they took the drawings from her hand and told her that they were ...... before she came.

"Don't say it, I don't want to hear it." The Great Demon King said weakly, "This is the reconstruction plan I just made" She gave one pile to the Bishop, "This is the defense system I made" She stuffed the other pile to the knight.

The two immediately split up and immersed themselves in work, and the Great Demon King was also unprepared for the bishop's subsequent actions because of this initiative to close his eyes and listen. (To be continued......)
