Russell was not woken up by the pastor until late in the evening, rubbing his sour eyes, and sitting up from his bed with sleepy eyes, the voice of the pastor coming from the hallway outside.

"Your Excellency Russell, Bishop Vane has put a lot of food on the table in the banquet hall and is waiting for your visit!"

Russell heard the pastor's words, and suddenly his mind was completely sleepy, he got up from the bed, and replied loudly: "Please wait a moment, I will come out immediately!"

Russell immediately ran to the mirror in the room to see if his appearance had become disorganized from sleeping.

After Russell combed his hair, he straightened his clothes in the mirror.

It didn't take long for the handsome Russell to return to his original appearance.

Russell then opened the door and saw the priest who had been waiting for Russell in the corridor for a long time, he was the same person who had brought Russell just now, and it seemed that he was the clergyman who was in charge of receiving guests here.

Although the pastor had been waiting for Russell outside the door for a long time, he did not show any impatience, he bent down slightly towards Russell and said, "Your Excellency Russell, today's dinner venue is in front, let me show you the way!"

Russell followed the priest for about five minutes before entering the place where the clergy were eating.

It's also a large building, after all, there are so many people in the temple that if you don't build a huge dining venue, it is estimated that many people here will not be able to eat for a day.

At this time, many of the clergy had already begun to eat here, and Russell noticed that their food was very diverse, and it smelled very good, and it seemed that he would still be able to enjoy the food tonight.

The priest led Russell all the way through where people were dining, and into the innermost part of the building.

Suddenly, the priest leading the way stopped in front of a wooden gate covered in religious motifs.

The priest extended his hand to Russell and said, "This is the place where Bishop Vane has feasted you, and no one is allowed to enter this place except for the Bishop and the invited guests, so I can only bring you to the door." ”

Russell nodded to the priest, then strode open the door and entered the banquet hall.

As soon as Russell entered this hall, he felt a sense of enlightenment, he had just walked in a crowded place, and now he was standing in a very spacious banquet hall.

The scene here is not the same as the banquet hall in the Albert family.

The furnishings and furnishings in the hall are not as extravagant as the Albert family designed to show off their wealth, but rather a little simple and pure.

The roof of the hall, including the walls, has been painted white by craftsmen.

The walls are full of stories from the church, which have been inlaid with stones of different colors by craftsmen to form unique patterns.

In addition to some essential furniture, there is only a particularly large oval table and chairs for people to eat.

The nobles of the kingdom should hate the poor decoration here, but Russell likes this simple decoration, and the place to eat should be to eat well.

Russell wanted to go to the front of the wall and observe the pattern on it, maybe he could get some clues in his favor from it.

But before Russell could walk to the front of the wall, Betty's joyful cheers came from behind him, "Brother Russell, it's really good that you came here so early, but there seems to be more than one passage here, and the place where the two of us came in seems to be different, it's really interesting!"

Russell was reminded by Betty's words, and also noticed where Betty entered the hall, which was diagonal to the door where he entered, and Russell guessed that the superstructure of the church could also be connected to this hall from another place.

Russell couldn't help but wonder how many hidden roads there were in this temple, and it seemed that all the rooms were connected!

Russell slowly walked up to Betty and asked, "Betty, has anyone brought you here from your residence?"

Betty nodded and replied, "Brother Russell, how can I know how to get to this hall?" It is true that a sister nun brought me here, but she said that she was not strong enough to enter this hall, so she had to wait outside for me to go back. ”

Russell suddenly thought to himself, didn't Betty live in the church superstructure all afternoon, then he should be able to ask her about the superstructure.

"Betty, what kind of scene did you see when you went upstairs, can you describe it to me?"

Betty puffed out her mouth and tried to think about it for a moment, and then said slowly, "After I was separated from my brother, I was taken by the priest to the top of the stairs, where there were many knights of the cathars!

After we didn't cross a single intersection, the Guardian Knights came to check our identity, and if we didn't have Grandpa Vane's identification, it would have been impossible to move an inch on it.

And when I arrived at the room, I noticed that there was a staircase above my room, and the armor of the knights guarding on it seemed to be exactly the same as the armor of the chief knight of Buna, and the number of them had also increased several times!"

The speaker had no intention, but the listener had a heart, and Russell immediately noticed various details in Betty's words, first of all, the inspection of the superstructure was much stricter, and there was nothing serious wrong with this.

The upper rooms were inhabited by high-ranking members of the church, and there must have been a large number of knights guarding the place.

The second and most important thing is the building at the top of the temple that Betty said, if Betty didn't say the wrong details, then the person guarding the top must be the chief knight, and there are more than one person!

Could it be that the top floor of the temple contained something of great importance, as if it were more important than a bishop?

Russell's curiosity was immediately piqued by Betty's words, but he still forcibly resisted the curiosity in his heart, this was a heavily guarded temple.

And the people of the church were not very vicious, and Russell did not have to die to find out what was hidden at the top.

Suddenly, from the gate came the tired voice of Bishop Vain, "So the two of you have already arrived in the hall? I'm so sorry, I have too many things to deal with at once tonight, and I didn't finish the paperwork until just now, and I'm in a hurry here!"

When Russell heard this, Bishop Vane walked up to them with a tired face, and although he was very tired, he still forced a smile on his face.

Russell got up and said, "Actually, Bishop Venn, you don't have to set up a banquet to entertain us, and we have never been people who pay attention to pomp, so you don't need to put things down like this to entertain us for dinner!"

"It's okay!" Bishop Vane waved his hand at Russell, and then said, "The purpose of my banquet tonight is to let the bishops in the temple get to know Betty, they even have more work than I do on weekdays, so they only have free time at night, if the bishop doesn't know the 'divine favorite' chosen by the goddess, then it won't make others laugh!"

When Russell heard Bishop Vane say this, he no longer shirked the bishop's kindness, and took Betty to sit next to Bishop Vane.

After a while, the bishops rushed over from the rest of the temple, and some of the busy bishops even came in with papers.

Seeing that the invitees had arrived, Bishop Vane stood up from his chair and said loudly, "Colleagues, sitting here is the only 'Divine Favorite' that the Goddess has chosen in the past few decades, Lord Betty!

She is not very old, but she has a very devout belief in the goddess, and her heart is as clear and transparent as a sapphire, and she is indeed a true 'divine favorite'.

Then I'm here to officially announce Betty as a new member of the Church of the Goddess of Cereal!"

The bishops all looked up at Betty at this time, and Russell could feel Betty's nervousness very clearly.

Her body was trembling slightly, obviously frightened by the gaze of a high-ranking bishop.

Russell secretly stretched out his hand from under the table, held Betty's very cold hand tightly, and whispered encouragement: "Now all the bishops are looking at you, you are the goddess's 'divine favor', you must muster up the courage to face their gaze!"

Betty heard Russell's instructions, and her trembling body gradually calmed down, and soon her expression was no longer nervous, and her breathing became very smooth.

Russell quietly patted the back of Betty's hand, she was really not the crying girl she used to be, and her character was gradually becoming braver.

Bishop Vaine, who was sitting next to Betty, also noticed this detail, he saw that Betty's mood had become normal, the corner of Bishop Vaine's mouth showed a smile, and then said to the bishops sitting in front: "Since you already know Betty, I also know that you are very busy with work, and I will not delay your mealtime, let's start enjoying our food now!"

Although the bishops had mastered all kinds of powerful magic techniques, they could not satisfy their hunger, so they had already been hungry after a day's work, and after obtaining the permission of Bishop Vain, they immediately picked up their knives and forks and began tonight's dinner.

Bishop Vane turned his head to look at Russell and said, "Your Excellency Russell, I make you laugh, the bishops are really too busy every day, so their food is not too elegant!"

By the way, I have almost decided on the content of your participation in the selection of the Apsar Knight, and I believe that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you will receive the details of the knight assessment. ”

Russell didn't expect Bishop Vane to be so efficient, and it only took an afternoon to confirm the relevant content of the assessment, but it was also a good thing for him, he had to rely on a powerful force here to get the information he wanted.

"Then I'll prepare well after I go back, please believe that I will definitely pass your assessment!"

Bishop Vane laughed and said, "It's good to be young, I am not afraid of failure in anything, so I remember the past when I was young, and when I have time to rest that day, I will definitely talk to you about my youth! Now let's stop talking so much, let's start tonight's meal!"

Russell picked up the knife and fork and began to enjoy today's dinner, and after Russell tasted it, it was really as he expected, the food of the church was very delicious.

Looking at Betty's smiling face beside him, Russell felt that the pressure in his heart had also been reduced a lot, and Russell made up his mind that he must pass the selection.

Only by passing this first step can he implement the following plan step by step!
