Volume 2 The Beginning of the Legend Chapter 45 Past Confidant

Russell rode his horse and followed the Buna Knight Chief, followed by a long procession, and the Buna Knight Commander did not mean to evade, but led the knights straight forward in the center of the road.

The roadside was filled with civilians passing by, and they looked at the Knights Cathar differently than the people outside, not too much fear, but more worship.

A boy standing on the side of the road, watching the knights pass by him in high spirits, said to his mother in a loud voice, "I will also become one of the Knights of the Protector in the future, and I will preach the teachings of the goddess of grain to the kingdoms." ”

The boy's mother hurriedly took him in her arms and warned, "Don't stand here and make a lot of noise, the knights don't like loud children, and the guards of the city will soon come and take you to jail!"

When the boy heard this, he fell silent, as if he were afraid of the guards in the city.

This scene made Russell on the side a little strange, obviously they are all the troops in Dinah City, why are the reviews of the two so different?

Russell also noticed that the roads in Dinah City were built by craftsmen very wide, and most of the roads were paved with uniform stone bricks, and there were guards patrolling both sides of the road, catching a few civilians throwing garbage on the road from time to time.

However, as the ranks of the Knights of the Cathar passed by, the hooves of their horses were constantly trampling on the ground, and it was inevitable that dust would be raised.

Russell whispered to Bunner, "Bunner, we're swaggering past here like this, and these guards guarding the road don't care about us?"

Buna replied smugly: "You told me about those guards? We raised dust here, but I dare to ask you a ticket, this group of guards definitely does not have the courage to rush to provoke us, there are people in this kingdom who are either on the front line of the battlefield, or have joined the church to conquer the evil existence, only these people who have some connections in the family and dare not go to the battlefield will watch the gate here." ”

Sure enough, as Buna said, when the guards saw Buna, instead of stopping their procession, they took the initiative to send a few bottles of wine to convince the chief knight of the church.

"Lord Buna, take this wine, you have worked hard to go out on errands, and the chief specially asked us to send this wine over to reward the knights!"

A slender guard ran over with a sneer, respectfully handing over a few bottles of good wine, which at first glance sold for a price.

"Then I'll be disrespectful!" Buna took the wine with the same smile, and immediately tossed a bottle to Russell.

"Thank you for us, sir, he can come to me later if he has anything!" Buna smiled and looked into the far corner, where a well-dressed man was smiling at Buna, and the man noticed Buna's gaze and raised his hand to beckon to them unhurriedly.

Buna's smile froze instantly, and without saying a word, he drove his horse in the direction of the church.

Russell felt a little strange when he saw this, but he immediately rode his horse to chase after him.

Russell drove the war horse to Buna slowly, and whispered, "Buna, what's wrong with you? Aren't you in a good mood just now, why are you suddenly angry?"

Buna struggled in his heart for a while, but still said what was on his mind,

"That guy's name is Alan, and he was born into a family of physicians, and my family owns a bakery, and he lives across the street from mine.

So he was a friend who I grew up with, and the two of us used to talk about everything, and we were inseparable friends who could trust each other with life and death.

His dream was to become a knight apologetic of the Church, and under his influence, I also set up this lofty ideal.

The friendship between the two of us lasted until the day the church began to select the knights of the cathar, and I still remember that time, when before entering the gates of the church, Alan suddenly repented, saying that he did not want to participate in the knight selection.

When I asked him why he gave up on his ideals so easily, he explained to me that he thought it was boring to become a knight cathar.

At that time, I was carried away by his frivolous words and demeanor, and beat him violently at the door, and from then on the two of us broke off, all I know is that he has become a guard without knowing what he has borrowed, and I don't want to know more about him. ”

Russell sighed silently after hearing this, Buna lost a confidant that he would never meet in his life, which was indeed a very sad thing.

Buna shook his head and said: "I don't want to talk too much about Alan, after all, we are no longer friends who talk about everything like before, if it weren't for the coincidence today, then we basically couldn't meet him, let's not delay time!

After Russell heard Buna's suggestion, he also nodded and agreed, Betty has not officially joined the Church of the Goddess yet, and it is the most important thing to settle Betty now.

Buna turned back and yelled at the knights, "Hurry up, are you all the weak and incompetent guards?

The knights, probably accustomed to the temper of their commander, did not reply loudly, but silently drove their horses from their seats, and the whole team hurried towards the church headquarters in the distance.

Behind the wall, Alan with a dog's tail hanging from the corner of his mouth watched the group of powerful cathar knights stay away from here, leaving only billowing dust in the air, Alan looked at the carriage surrounded by knights, and suddenly showed a mysterious smile on his face.

At this time, the guard in charge of delivering the wine returned, and he looked at his commander with a smile at the knights' procession, and suddenly remembered a rumor that was widely circulated among the guards.

The guard walked up to Allen's side lightly and asked boldly, "Sir, I heard that you used to be good friends with the famous Knight Commander Buna, and why does the Knight Chief seem to not want to talk to you?"

It took a few seconds for Alan to turn his head to look at the guard, his face expressionless, but the guard shuddered at the sight of his superior.

Alan slowly took the grass from his mouth and replied: "I have nothing to do with him, you should have heard something wrong, he is the head of the high church knights, and I, the head of the guard, can't match him!"

And the ground is full of dust from our knights, so why don't you, as the guard in charge of cleaning, bask in the sun with me here?

The guard was startled by Alan's roar, and he hurriedly gave a military salute to Alan, and then beckoned his companions to start sweeping the dusty road.

When Russell finally arrived at the church headquarters, he had to admit that the size of the city was really beyond his expectations, because the city of Dina was built on the side of a mountain, so there was plenty of stone to build the city, and the craftsmen could make full use of their skills to build a city that was ancient and wonderful.

Just like the headquarters of the Church of the Goddess of Cereals in front of Russell's eyes now, this can almost be regarded as a small city, the scale of the headquarters is even larger than the town of Baila, especially eye-catching is a statue of the Goddess of Cereals carved from marble, Russell suddenly remembered that Sister Marlene once told him that there is a statue of the Goddess of Cereals in the world in the city of Dinah, Russell thinks it should be the one in front of him!

Moreover, Russell noticed that the largest temple was almost a single building, and the buildings were very large and generally built very tall, with the statue of the goddess of grain as the center in a fan-shape, Russell guessed that if people stood on the hill outside the city and looked down on the temple, they would be shocked to find that the temple had become a pair of wings of the goddess arching to protect the goddess.

At this time, Russell's shoulder was suddenly patted, and Russell subconsciously looked back and saw that it was Buna who had just been handed over.

Buna smiled and said to Russell: "I have taken care of all the affairs, it is really troublesome, I have asked the bishops several times to change the rules of the church to deal with affairs, but these noble bishops probably ignored my report!"

Russell looked back at Bunner's side and asked in surprise, "Where is Betty, where is she now, why haven't I seen her?"

Buna patted Russell on the shoulder and replied, "You really care about Betty, Betty was directly introduced into the interior of the temple by the nuns just now, and as a rare 'god', of course she can't still wear the same civilian clothes as before." ”

"Oh, then I'm at ease!"

"It's not time for you to rest, you still have to go with me to the temple to go through the formalities for the selection of the Guardian Knights, and Bishop Vane also wants to see you, he knows that Sister Marlene admires you very much!"

Russell couldn't help but have a little head after hearing this, he thought that he could rest for a while after coming to the headquarters, but he didn't expect that he still needed to meet with Bishop Vaine, although he had heard the conversation between Sister Marlene and Bishop Vane before, but Russell would not be naΓ―ve to think that Bishop Vane was an amiable old man, and he knew that no one who became a bishop of the church was really pure and flawless.

"Don't waste time, come with me!" Buna didn't care about Russell's reaction at this time, he also had a lot of things to do, and after bringing Russell to Bishop Vene, he also had a lot of things to deal with.

Russell had to follow Buna very reluctantly into the interior of the temple, walking on the road Russell found that Bunner's identity was indeed very high, and all the clergy stopped on both sides in a hurry, bowed their heads and waited for the chief knight of Buna to pass by, Buna also restrained the smile on his face, and solemnly took Russell to the interior of the temple.

When Russell felt that his feet were a little sore, the two finally arrived at the door of Bishop Wayne's office, where there were few clergy passing by, and there was a garden full of all kinds of flowers and plants nearby, the environment here was very quiet, and it was indeed a good place to work, but Russell felt that his feet were a little weak.

Buna stepped forward a few times, raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door a few times, and whispered: "Lord Bishop Venn, I have brought His Excellency Russell to you, now do you want His Excellency Russell to come in?"

Soon after, from inside the door came the old voice that Russell had heard in the Transsonic Jewel,

"Come in, and you can come in too, Captain Bunna, I've been expecting to see Lord Russell for a long time!"

Before Buna could open the door, the door in front of him opened, and Russell was immediately startled by this scene, it was clear that Bishop Vane's voice was far away, but the door suddenly opened, which was really strange.

Buna was accustomed to Bishop Vane's magical abilities, and quickly entered the door with Russell, and Russell took the opportunity to take a closer look, and it turned out that Betty was also standing very restrained beside Bishop Vane.
