Volume 2 The Beginning of the Legend Chapter 46 Future Plans
After Russell entered Bishop Vane's office, he found Betty also standing next to Bishop Vane in a restrained manner, and Russell also noticed that Betty's old clothes had also changed, and it was no longer the blue dress that Russell had bought for her.
Betty has now changed into a clean white dress that resembles a nun, but it looks like someone has changed it to a small one.
And she also wore a round white gold-trimmed gorgeous hat on the top of her head, which further set off the noble and holy feeling of church clothing.
Russell couldn't help but admire the designers of church clothing, and after he came into the world, he thought that the most beautiful clothes were church clothes.
"Isn't it nice for Betty to wear this dress? This is a special dress that the nuns specially made for her, but this is not a nun's costume, but a special dress that can only be worn by the 'gods'. ”
Bishop Vane looked at Russell in front of him and said with a smile.
Russell then realized that he was looking too closely at Betty's new clothes, as if he was ignoring the presence of Bishop Vane.
Russell hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Bishop Wayne, I have neglected you, please forgive me!"
Bishop Vane smiled and said, "Your Excellency Russell, I have long wanted to meet you, Sister Marlene is full of praise for you, she is a student I have taught before, her unfazed temperament can respect you so much, it seems that you are really not an ordinary person!"
Russell smiled awkwardly when he saw this, and Russell didn't know how to answer, so he had to bring the topic over with laughter.
Bishop Vane looked into Russell's eyes and asked, "I heard from Knight Captain Buna that you want to join the Guardian Knights, right?
"Oh, okay!"
Russell hurriedly took the letter out of his pocket, walked over to Bishop Vane's desk, and placed it gently on his desk.
"Don't be too restrained, let's sit down!"
Bishop Vane kindly stretched out his hand and pointed to the chair beside him, Russell and Buna had been tired from walking for a long time, and they were not polite enough to take Betty directly to sit on a nearby chair.
Bishop Vane bowed his head and picked up the letter of introduction on the table, and with a single finger he cut open the hard envelope as easily as a knife, and the paper inside fell out of the envelope very silkily, and a valuable letter appeared in front of everyone in the room.
Bishop Vane picked up the letter and looked at it carefully for a long time, and finally carefully checked the seal of the Albert family, and finally Bishop Vane put down the envelope, nodded and said: "This is exactly the letter of introduction sent by the Albert family, Russell, you already have the qualifications to participate in the selection of the knight of the apologetic!"
Betty was immediately excited when she heard this, she had already heard Sister Marlene say that Brother Russell should be participating in the selection of the Guardian Knight, so that the two of them could live together forever!
Buna joked at this time: "Russell, you have to be mentally prepared! The selection is very difficult, and it will be too late to regret it when the time comes!"
Russell said: "I have decided to participate in the selection of the church, but Buna's trick can't scare me, so when can I participate in the selection?"
"Alright, alright!" Bishop Vane clapped his hands to silence everyone and continued, "Russell, you have just come to Dinah City, and you have not yet fully adapted to the life here, so you can live in the church for a few days and rest for a few days to recuperate, and I will inform you of the specific process of participating in the knight selection in a few days!"
Bishop Vane looked at Betty beside him and said, "Dear 'Divine Servant', I will ask the nuns to arrange you the best room in the temple, and after you rest for a few days, I will arrange someone to teach you about the Church's divine arts!"
Hearing this, Betty hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Vi, Bishop Vane, can you please not use this title on me? I'm just an ordinary child, you don't need to use this honorific title on me!"
Seeing Betty's panicked look, Bishop Vane laughed and said, "Okay, I was just joking with you, I also find this title very embarrassing, and I don't like the rigid rules of the church.
And to say that such a long honorific title is very unfriendly to my old tongue, so be it, I'll call you Betty, okay? You can call me Grandpa Vane or Bishop, whatever you want to call me anyway.
Now that everything has been decided, let's go back to your room and rest for a while, but don't sleep too deeply, I'll entertain you two guests in the evening!"
"Someone!" Bishop Vane called out the door, and the door opened, revealing two stern-looking priests standing outside.
Bishop Vane instructed the priest, "The two guests are very tired, let you lead the way and take them both to their assigned rooms!"
Seeing this, Russell hurriedly got up and followed the priests out of Bishop Vane's office, and sure enough, as when they entered the door before, no one touched the door, but the door closed automatically.
Buna looked at Russell who was motionless and looked at the door, and said: "This is just a basic magic technique, you will see more amazing magic skills in the future, then you two should go to the room to rest for a while, I'm a busy man and have to deal with all kinds of things, see you later!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Buna turned and hurried into the distance, and it seemed that he did have important business to attend to.
The priests bowed to Russell and Betty and said, "The two of you are still far away, and you have asked the two guests to follow me!"
Then the priests turned and walked forward, and Russell and Betty could only follow them as they continued to advance through the labyrinthine temple.
Russell noticed that the interior of the temple was full of clergy guarding the temple, and even knights hiding in dark corners, this was a temple and a strong fortress, and it was difficult for ordinary people and others to enter this place!
Just when Russell's legs felt weak, the priests finally led them to the vicinity of the room where they were staying, which was a large fork in the road, with a row of rooms to the left on one side and a spiral staircase on the other.
Betty also noticed the situation at this time, she still couldn't help but be a little scared of this strange place, but she remembered Sister Marlene and Brother Russell's instructions to him, forcibly endured the fear in her heart, she stretched out her hand to say goodbye to Russell,
"Brother Russell, I'll go up first, then we'll see you in the evening!"
"Then it's a deal!" Russell agreed with a smile, and then watched Betty, who had turned back three times, being led by the priest to the top of the temple.
Russell could clearly hear the knights on guard asking the priest, so Russell could tell that the guards above the temple would be tighter.
The priest took Russell through this narrow corridor, here are all rooms of the same size, it seems that the rooms are specially prepared for guests, here Russell did not see the figure of the knights of the cathars, probably the knights also have a special residence!
"This is it, Your Excellency, if there is nothing superfluous, I will withdraw, remember that in the evening the Bishop will have a banquet to invite Your Excellency, and at that time I will come to receive Your Excellency on time!"
The priest led Russell to the door of a room facing the balcony, handed the key to Russell's hand, instructed him on the matter, and then bowed to Russell and hurried away.
Russell did not enter the room first, but quickly walked to the balcony, Russell had just walked to the balcony, a gust of breeze blew in his face, and brought a burst of fragrance of flowers and plants, Russell looked at it, it turned out to be the fragrance from the garden outside Bishop Vane's office.
Russell could see the garden near Bishop Vaane's office from a long distance, which gave Russell a very absurd feeling, it was a very coincidence that they had been walking for a long time, but Russell could still see Bishop Vane's office.
Russell then looked elsewhere, and it was only when Russell observed that he was in the east side of the church, across from the office complex to the west, and here he could see that there were countless gardens in the center of the temple, and on this day when the weather was not too cold, there were birds everywhere, and the scene of birds singing and flowers everywhere was everywhere.
Russell had to admit that this holy scene, like the bard's poetry, could not be compared to even the royal gardens of the Empire, and the sight of this pleasant scene would make even those who do not appreciate the beauty fall into it.
After seeing this scene, Russell walked into his room quite satisfied, the decoration of the room here is also very luxurious, it can be said that this is the best place Russell has lived so far, Russell left his luggage and equipment, threw himself on the soft goose down quilt and fell asleep.
At this time, Bishop Vane didn't have time to rest, he was still dealing with affairs as high as a mountain, even if Bishop Vane used healing magic to relieve the physical and mental exhaustion, but the exhaustion revealed from his heart still made him rub his shoulders incessantly.
Suddenly, there was a knock on his door.
"Who is it?"
"Lord Bishop, it's me, Sarah, the matter you asked me to investigate a few days ago has been concluded, can I come in and report to you?"
"Come in!"
Sarah, who was waiting outside the door, seemed to know the magic of the bishop's door, so he did not rush to open the bishop's door, but waited quietly to let the door open on its own.
When Sara walked in the room, Bishop Vane was still reviewing the papers on the table, and the bishop asked without raising his head, "What news have you found?"
Sara said respectfully, "Recently, the mage rats lurking in the royal capital have shown their tails, and they are probably about to make a move recently!"
Bishop Vane heard the key point, and immediately raised his head with a frown and asked, "Are these people members of the Wizards' Guild?"
Sara shook her head and replied, "I'm sure they're not from the Wizards' Guild, I asked my subordinates to kill a few of them, and I didn't find the Magicians' Guild mark on their bodies!"
Bishop Vane knew that he had already determined the identity of this group of magicians who were engaged in mysterious activities, and had made a decision about their life and death.
"Then send someone to kill them all, by the way, let your men do some work, and don't show any!"
"Okay!" Sara agreed, and headed out the door.
Suddenly, Bishop Vane spoke up to stop Sara from leaving, "Remember to keep a group of magicians, it's useful for me to keep them!"
