The next morning, Meghan arrived at the foot of Cape Rambet in a large four-wheeled ox cart, accompanied only by a leopard warrior who was a charioteer, and Fricks, the priest who accompanied the army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Teacher, you slow down. ”

Frix helped the trembling Megan out of the bullock cart and walked slowly to the city gate. Liang Ke waited there early, and saw that Megan really came alone, so he took a few steps to greet him.

"Master Meghan is really trustworthy, and such a mind is admired by Aragorn. Liang Ke bowed deeply and said with a smile.

"Hehe! Colonel Aragorn's praise for me, an old man, is not to be true. Heroes are out of youth, Colonel Aragon dares to take risks alone, and I, a dying old man, am about to return to the arms of the beast god, what am I afraid of? Besides, I'm here to see old friends, not fights. Megan's old yellow eyes looked at the city, as if she was really looking for someone.

"I didn't have time to ask the master who his friend was yesterday, you can tell me his name, and I'll ask the guards to invite him to the master. His Royal Highness Prince Conrad is waiting for the Master at the City Hall, Master Please!"

After speaking, Liang Ke turned sideways and led the three of Megan into the city gate.

"No need. Prince Conrad is busy with official business, so he will naturally be able to see him when he negotiates the day after tomorrow. This time I was only meeting an old friend in a private capacity, and Colonel Aragon would take me to the temple. Megan walked very slowly, talking to Liang Ke as she looked at the bustling scene on both sides of the street.

Liang Ke heard that Meghan had no intention of meeting Conrad, so he had to send guards to inform the anxious messengers.

"Is the Master's friend a priest in the Holy Sect?" Liang Ke slowed down and stayed by Meghan's side.

"Yes, he was a minor priest back then, and I heard that he is now a bishop. ”

"Oh, could it be that your old friend is Bishop Alger?" said Liang Ke, surprised.

"Hahaha! yes, that guy's name is Alger, and after all these years, I don't know if he's still that fat. ”

High Priest Megan walked slowly, but very talkatively, along the way, you said a word to me, and Liang Ke had a very pleasant conversation, if it weren't for Cocoba's constant reminders, Liang Ke would almost tell this amiable old man all his secrets. Fortunately, when Liang Ke and Megan arrived at the temple, Bishop Alger had just finished the gospel spreading ceremony for the faithful, and heard that Aragorn had brought an old man to visit him, so he hurriedly changed into the bishop's heavy robes and welcomed him out of the office.

"God, Master Megan, is it really you?" Alger saw Meghan smiling and standing there, tears welled up in his eyes, he took off his gold-rimmed glasses, walked a few steps briskly with his round belly, and hugged Megan's thin body tightly.

Megan patted him lightly on the back and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay! Your belly is getting bigger and bigger, old man, I'm going to be overwhelmed by you." ”

Alger hurriedly let go of Megan, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, put on his glasses, and said with a smile: "Why is the teacher still making fun of me, you know, students can't lose weight! ”

"You guy, you still have your god on your lips with one mouth. Now that little Alger is a cardinal, it's really not appropriate to make any more jokes about you. But may the Bishop, an old man, invite me, to come in and sit down?"

"Oh yes, I'm just talking to the teacher, so please come in. Colonel Aragon, please come in too. Alger took Meghan's hand and walked inside, not noticing the glint in Meghan's gray eyes.

The conversation that followed in this office was relaxed and pleasant, and Liang Ke almost became a listener to the friendship story of teachers and students, and he couldn't insert a word. However, this story of teacher-student love is indeed touching.

Alger was born in a small village in Uwang, he worked in the church at the head of the village as a child, and gradually became interested in the teachings of the Delette sect, and often read books in the dimly lit library at the back of the church, and the priest in the church noticed this studious child, so he often took him to participate in some practical activities to spread the teachings, Alger was very intelligent, less than fifteen years old, he was already a well-known believer, and it was known that this fat boy would one day become a saint that everyone admired.

That year, a large number of domestic animals in the village died suddenly and inexplicably, and the native dogs in the villagers' homes would bark in the middle of the night, and after a few days, the children in the village began to babble inexplicably, and some would even bite their family members like crazy, and the villagers went to the church in panic to pray for God's help. When he was running out of options, a middle-aged mage came to the village, and this mage was named Megan.

He hung a huge fruit bat on the bell tower of the church that had swallowed poison, and then made a small cut in it, and the bat hissed sharply in pain, and the blood trickled down to the dark bronze bell. When night fell, people felt a breeze blowing in the courtyard, and those winds blew gently towards the little chapel, and soon the children of the village stopped crying, and the earth dogs quieted down, and on the bell tower gradually appeared a kind of transparent crimson monster, this monster was short in stature, with short arms and long legs, and a pair of small fleshy wings on its back, which looked ugly and terrifying, and there were dozens of them. When they greedily sucked the blood of the fruit bats, they found that their bodies had slowly stiffened, and the wings behind them could no longer provide the power to fly, and they rolled down from the bell tower to the ground.

Megan spat out the burned-out cigar, untied a milky bag from her waist, and threw the monsters into it one by one.

"Mr. Mage, can I help you?" Alger had been hiding from a distance and peeking at the strange mage, but finally he couldn't suppress his curiosity and walked out from under the tree.

Megan smiled and nodded to the cute boy. "As long as you're not afraid, of course you can. Don't touch their heads, or you'll become like them. ”

Alger carefully grabbed a monster and looked closely, these guys were really ugly, they didn't even have eyes, and their bodies were slimy. He tossed the monster into his pocket, wiped his hands on his pants, and asked Megan curiously.

"What are they?"

"It's a little devil called a 'goblin'. ”

"It's terrible, aren't the demons long gone? Are they dead?"

"No, just asleep. ”

"You're not going to kill these monsters?"

"yes!"

"Can't these hateful creatures be killed?"

"Oh, where in the world is there an undead creature? Maybe God ...... too."

"In that case, why don't we kill them?"

"Why did we kill them?"

However, they killed all the livestock of Uncle Kissley and Aunt Agatha, and frightened Brother Bibu into a terrible illness. Alger tossed another goblin into his pocket and tilted his head to look at Megan.

Megan looked at the trace of tyranny and incomprehension in the young man's clear eyes, and his heart moved slightly, and he quickly threw the remaining goblins into his pocket and tied the mouth of the bag with the forbidden magic ring. Then, with his pocket in one hand and Alger in the other, he walked into the deserted chapel, sat down on the dusty board, lit a cigar, and talked to Alger in the soft moonlight.

"What's your name?"

"Alger Luangsi, Mr. Mage. The boy replied respectfully.

"Alger, do you know why those little devils came to your village?"

"Yes!" little Alger nodded, "they're here to eat our livestock." ”

"Clever boy, you're right. These goblins have come to steal and eat your livestock, and they are starving. ”

"But if you're hungry, shouldn't you go back to your own house and eat?"

"Yes, they want to go home, too, but they have been lost in our world, and the only way home has been closed by us. ”

"It sounds like our fault, but no matter how hungry they are, they shouldn't eat those poor little animals!"

"Hehe, you don't eat pigs when you're hungry, don't you eat fragrant roast lamb chops?"

"That'...... That's different, we eat it when it's cooked!"

"Eating is eating, eating raw and cooked, what does it matter if you eat elegantly or ugly? ”

"But...... But it seems, those guys are evil. ”

"How do you know if our appearance is not more evil in their eyes, and isn't it a very evil sign that we have rudely interrupted their dinner?"

"Mr. Mage, what you said makes me a little confused, shouldn't those evil creatures be completely purified? Since we are all God's people, then light and love should be our only faith, is your practice a kind of connivance with evil?"

"Oh, little one, tell me, what do you think is light, what is charity?"

Young Alger thought hard and didn't think clearly how to answer the question, and for the first time he began to doubt his faith in God.
