What did Bishop Vane mean by what he said to him at the swearing-in ceremony?

The flickering light of the candles illuminated the dark room, and Russell looked up at the wooden ceiling, contemplating the meaning of Bishop Vane's words.

Is it because I am worried about myself? Bishop Vane just kindly reminded himself, maybe he didn't have any special thoughts.

To be honest, Russell was also a little surprised that in his knightly oath ceremony, there would be a miracle that was rare in a hundred years.

It's just that Russell knew very well in his heart that his belief in the goddess of grain was not as religious as those in the church, and he never believed in gods.

For Russell, he grew up under the rule of the empire, and the national conditions of the empire and the kingdom of Heka are very different, and the biggest difference is that there is no church under the rule of the empire, because the imperial family needs absolute authority.

So Russell is not at all like these people who grew up in a strong religious environment, and he doesn't have much respect for the gods in his heart.

In this world, the church can also proclaim the power of the gods to the people, and warn them that the order of the world depends on the gods.

However, Russell, who lived in a world without gods, understood that even without gods, people's lives and order were no different in the slightest.

War will still exist, poverty will still occur, and evil will still grow in people's hearts.

In the same way, kindness will become a human virtue, love will be desirable, and people will praise the epic of heroes.

What makes Russell laugh and cry is that he, a human who does not have much respect for the gods, was given a miracle by the gods as if he was destined, which is a very unreasonable thing.

For those fanatical believers in the kingdom of Heka, if they knew this fact, their faith and dedication to the gods who had devoted their lives to their life's pursuit, did not favor them, but instead sent down miracles on a person of shallow faith, if they knew this fact, maybe their faith would collapse immediately!

Russell had never seen the gods with his own eyes, and the most powerful opponent he had ever faced was none other than the Abyss Lord Edward.

With the power of the Abyss Lord Edward, he could become a true god in a world without any special powers!

Thinking about it, Russell couldn't help but sigh with palpitations that he was lucky, fighting with such a powerful powerhouse, a mistake can determine life and death!

If he hadn't had the help of the Sword of Dawn, and Lord Edward hadn't underestimated his enemies, the final outcome would have been predestined.

Russell's world will be completely conquered by the abyss army, and everyone will become slaves of the abyss, and they will survive under the oppression of the abyss for the rest of their lives.

Russell suddenly remembered his companions, who didn't know how they were doing, and whether the forces of the Abyss had been completely expelled from their world by the Empire.

Everything is out of Russell's expectations, and the normal trajectory of life is also disrupted, Russell is like a small boat in the ups and downs of the stormy seas, unable to find the direction of the future, unable to find a harbor of rest.

Russell was immersed in this sad mood, and his eyelids gradually became heavy.

After a while, Russell fell asleep with a thousand thoughts.

Tonight's dream is not as calm as usual, Russell does not sleep very soundly, he does not dream of the old man he misses as usual, he dreams of his hometown that haunts his dreams, but he dreams of some indescribable scenes.

In his sleep, Russell could hardly feel his own entity, he was like a gust of wind, and like a bright moon watching this dream coldly.

The scene in front of him was as indistinct as if it were obscured by fog, and Russell could only hear faint sounds.

Faintly, Russell saw countless tall figures crashing together, and dense unknown figures soaring above the sky.

Russell didn't know who they were or where he was, and before long, everything was gone, leaving Russell alone.

Suddenly, Russell felt as if he was being targeted by something, which was an intuition and instinctive foreknowledge of himself, a feeling of danger that Russell had never experienced.

The feeling grew stronger, and Russell hurried to get away from it, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move his feet.

Danger was approaching Russell, but he couldn't react, this was obviously his own dream, why couldn't Russell even leave here?

Russell was like a helpless lamb being watched by a wolf in the shadows, but he couldn't do anything about it.

At this moment of great crisis, a radiant staircase appeared in front of Russell, and under the influence of this light, Russell found that his legs could actually move.

Russell took a step forward with all his might, only to see a light in his eyes, and the feeling of danger immediately disappeared from Russell's side.

"Russell, Russell, don't sleep lazy, look how high the sun has risen!"

A familiar voice sounded in Russell's ears, and Russell was suddenly awakened from his dream by being pushed by his legs.

Russell immediately sat up from the bed, looked around in horror, and when Russell saw the familiar scenes and decorations in the room, he slowly exhaled a sullen breath, fortunately, it was a nightmare!

"Russell, what's wrong with you? Why are you sweating all over your forehead?"

Russell turned his head to look, and sure enough, Buna woke him up, and he was standing by his bed with his waist crossed, looking at him with some concern.

Now Russell's consciousness is still very vague, and after being reminded by Buna, Russell noticed that the clothes on his back have been soaked with cold sweat.

Russell had never had such an absurd dream, and the sense of looming crisis could not be described in words, and Russell could still vaguely remember the feelings in the dream.

Strangely, Russell couldn't remember the details of what happened in the dream, so he couldn't tell Buna the details of the nightmare.

Russell rubbed his brows and replied: "Buna, it's okay, I just had a nightmare, this dream is very weird, it should be because I was too tired yesterday!"

Buna whispered when he heard this: "Russell, if you feel unwell, then I will cancel today's task with Bishop Vane, and you can take the opportunity to take a good rest!"

"No need!" Russell stretched out his hand to stop Buna who wanted to go back to report the situation, "I just haven't eased my mind for the time being, it's not a big deal, it's just that I'm sorry to wait a little longer, I want to take a hot shower and change into comfortable clothes!"

Buna reached out and touched Russell's forehead, relieved to see that Russell was not sick.

Buna looked at Russell's sweaty face and said, "No problem, you clean up your appearance, I'll go to the restaurant to eat, and bring you some breakfast by the way!"

"Thank you!"

"The two of us don't have to be so polite!"

With that, Buna waved his hand at Russell, turned and strode out of Russell's room.

"Whew!"

Russell leaned his back on a soft pillow and tried to stabilize his emotions.

A quarter of an hour later, Russell, who felt much calmer inside, stepped out of bed, entered the shower room of the room, and began to wash the sweat stains on his body.

Just as Russell, who was refreshed, came out of the shower, Buna who had gone out for breakfast also happened to return here with Russell's breakfast.

"Russell, are you feeling better?"

Buna placed breakfast on Russell's table.

Russell wiped his wet hair with a towel and replied, "I feel much more comfortable, you have worked hard to run for me, and I have no problem now!"

Buna pointed to the breakfast on the table and smiled, "If you are okay, you can eat breakfast quickly, Bishop Vane informed me to go to him early in the morning."

According to the old law, Bishop Vane should have an urgent task to give us today, and if you don't eat, you won't have the strength to act with us!"

When Russell heard this, he immediately sat down in his chair and ate all the breakfast that Buna had brought over.

After breakfast, the two of them gathered their equipment and weapons, and hurried to Bishop Vane's office.

On the way, they met many of the Knights of the Aphar who had attended the Oath of Knights Russell yesterday, and they all greeted Russell warmly.

If someone else who doesn't know the inside story sees this scene, they will definitely think that Russell and these knights are comrades-in-arms who have fought side by side.

In fact, Russell was also a little surprised, it stands to reason that he really joined the Knights Cathar yesterday, and he should not have such a close relationship with the knights, and even some knights Russell can't call them by name.

It's just that they greeted themselves so warmly today, which really flattered Russell.

Seeing this, Buna smiled and explained, "Russell, don't be so surprised, you are a triage aphar who was miraculously descended by the goddess of grain!

This kind of miracle has not happened in nearly a hundred years, and everyone who has been given a miracle will be revered by the people, so the knights also respect you very much, and this is a matter of course!"

Russell smiled helplessly, his original purpose was to be friends with these comrades-in-arms, but now they all looked at him with admiration and envy, which invisibly created an insurmountable gap between the two sides.

Turner naturally does not have such a strange psychology towards Russell, he and Russell have been together for a long time, and they have long regarded Russell as their good friend, in fact, Bunner will not care about this kind of thing, for him, as long as Russell upholds the belief in justice, then they will be friends forever.

After a while, Buna and Russell arrived in Bishop Vane's office, but as usual, there was already a man in the room who Russell did not know.

When Bishop Vane saw Russell and Buna rushing to his place, he got up and pointed to the man beside him and introduced Russell: "Knight Russell, please let me introduce you to my right-hand man, the man beside me is called Sarah.

He was the one under my command who was responsible for gathering intelligence, or Sara was responsible for some of the Church's intelligence gathering in the royal capital.

This time I called you over because Sara reported something very strange to me, and after thinking about it for a while, I decided to send you to investigate the details of this matter, so it would be safer!"

Then, Sara stepped forward, took off the hat with a strange black fabric on her head, bent slightly towards Russell, and bowed to Russell very politely.

"Hello, Lord Russell!

I'm Sarah, a hound under the command of Bishop Vane, and I've heard of your name, and there aren't many knights who can be miraculously performed by the Goddess, and it's a pleasure to work with you!

Seeing this, Russell hurriedly returned the salute, but he was even more wary of the man Sarah.

This kind of person has long controlled the work of espionage and reconnaissance of the church, and if he is not careful, he will fall into very dangerous territory, he is definitely not as harmless as he looks, if they are not in one camp, then Russell will definitely put him on the list of great threats.

Bishop Vane clapped his hands and said, "It seems that everyone has arrived, so I will arrange the tasks that you will complete today!"
