Chapter 8: Shock
Next, the two discussed the location and details of some of the temples built within the territory.
Towards the end of the banquet, the door of the hall was violently pushed open, and a loud bang was made, which attracted everyone's attention. A priest dressed in black robes with a golden sun embroidered on his chest walked in, followed by two Templars.
"Archbishop Winston of the Temple of Light, when did he become a black-clad bishop?" Archbishop Custer let out an exclamation, and couldn't help but look at the sign on his chest, two red lines, which were the hallmarks of a level 10 priest. While he breathed a long sigh of relief, a deep doubt floated in his heart.
The most basic condition for the Grey Cardinal is that his strength reaches level 13, which is the primary level of the Earth Knight. There is also a special case, where the faith is pious enough and the gods give down divine graces. Huston does not have the aura of divine grace on his body, and his strength is obviously not up to standard, which makes people wonder. Either way, he decided to wait and see.
"Archbishop Winston, oh, it's the Black Cardinal now, I wonder what you're here for?" Thunder Ming also knows this guy, he is the Archbishop of the small temple of Grant City, and he has met a few times before.
"Your Excellency, please don't blame me for taking the liberty of visiting, I have been instructed to come and negotiate with you about the establishment of the Temple of Light in other parts of the Grant Territory to spread the faith of the Lord. Winston said reverently.
Archbishop Custer's face became a little ugly, this is to rob the faith.
Lei Ming glanced at him, a faint smile crossed his face, and said, "Sorry, Archbishop Winston, you're late. I have made a decision with Archbishop Custer to establish a temple to the Earth Goddess elsewhere in the realm. ”
"Viscount Thundering, don't you think about it anymore? Winston made a vague threat.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but I have established my faith, and it is my duty to promote the teachings of the Earth Goddess. His face was full of devotion, and he pretended to pray a few words to the goddess of agriculture. "Perhaps, you can talk to Archbishop Cust?"
Winston's face turned pale, and he didn't need to ask to know that Custer wouldn't agree. He is not stupid, in front of everyone, if he has a conflict with the Archbishop of the Earth Goddess, no matter what the result is, he may become an outcast from above. "Thundering, I suspect that you secretly assassinated Haman for the sake of the title and took it away. ”
A knight of the Temple of Light in the back quickly stepped forward and grabbed it.
Thunder deftly dodged, took two steps back, and moved behind Custer. As early as when Winston came in, he had already quietly used the Eye of Destiny, and he had been prepared for it.
"Stop. Fafer burst out of the crowd and struck the palm of the hand that was grabbing Thunder, blocking the Templar's subsequent attack.
"Earth Knight?" the Templar paused for a moment, reaching out and grasping the hilt of his sword, his eyes on Winston and the other Templar Knight.
Winston's face was a little unsightly, and he had already talked clearly before he came, the Grant family no longer had an earth knight, but now one suddenly appeared, obviously just breaking through and not having time for the career assessment. "What are you doing in a daze? ”
"Archbishop Calant, don't forget our agreement. Lei Ming kindly reminded.
Calant's face was cloudy, and by now, he had understood that it was all a thunderous trap. If he helps, he will naturally offend the Temple of Light, and if he doesn't help, the fat in his mouth will fly, and the Temple of the Earth Goddess will not let him have a good time.
After thinking about it for a while, he finally made up his mind. Take a step forward and keep the thunder behind you. "Wait, Bishop Winthon Blackcoat, what evidence do you have that Thunder sent someone to assassinate Haman for the sake of the title?"
"The Great God of Light, are you doubting my words? The Lord has taught us to be fair and honest, but at the moment we are only skeptical, and I hope that Viscount Thunder will think about it and cooperate with us to return to the church and accept the investigation of the Inquisition. Huston said sincerely.
"Justice?" sneered at Thunder, the doctrine of the God of Law and Contract. The Temple of Light advocates that fist is justice, when did it change its doctrine?
He wouldn't go to church anyway, and in his previous life, he had heard a lot about being beaten into tricks. What's more, the Inquisition of the Bright Church is a terrifying institution on the mainland, so don't think about coming out alive if you go in.
"In that case, I think it's better to investigate clearly and then come to Viscount Thunder!" Custer's face changed, as a member of the church, he knew the inside story of the Inquisition better.
A look of exasperation crossed Winston's face, he thought he had given in enough, but Custer was so unaware. "You go up and contain Custer, I'll do it myself." ”
Another Templar walked from behind to Karst, his right hand gripping the hilt of his sword, staring at him with a blank face.
The two looked at each other vigilantly, and neither of them chose to make a move.
On the other side, Fafer and the Templar Knights, each using their fighting qi to form an air shield to protect their bodies, raised their swords and desperately attacked each other. Both of them are junior earth knights, and their strength is comparable, and no one can help anyone in a short time.
Winston nodded in satisfaction, unleashed a simple body protection spell, and began to chant the spell of the fourth-level divine art, the Chain of Light. Four black chains appeared out of thin air, wrapping around the thunder.
By the time Fafer had fought another Templar, the noble merchants who had been attending the banquet had already run out of the hall.
Lei Ming was not surprised by this, and the nobles were like that. The Church of Light is powerful and does not have enough benefits, and none of these people will be stupid enough to come forward to help.
He looked at the attacking chains, drew the sword used to decorate his waist, poured his fighting spirit into the sword, raised his sword and swept it, bringing a string of wind to the wind, and splitting the entangled chains.
Click!
There was a crisp cracking sound, and the long sword was full of cracks, and despite the protection of the fighting spirit, the long sword was broken.
Thunder threw away the hilt of his sword, slammed his foot on the ground, volleyed into the air, and slammed his fist into Winston. The transparent shield shattered like glass at the touch of glass, and the afterglow slammed into his chest, knocking him flying.
Winston skimmed through the air, fell to the ground, spurted a mouthful of blood from his mouth, and asked in disbelief, "Grand Knight?"
"Great knight!" Custer was also shocked, he saw the battle just now, and was sure that Winston was not lying, which was what made it even more terrifying. How long has it been, half a month ago, Lei Ming seemed to be a knight's apprentice, and now he has become a great knight? This promotion speed is too terrifying, and I am afraid that only the previous generations of gods can be compared.
He couldn't help but regret watching just now, and glanced at the Templar on the other side, if only there had been a fight just now.
"Not bad. Lei Ming nodded lightly, now that it is exposed, the surname Suo is no longer hidden, and it will also deter some people with bad intentions, and weigh whether it is wise to be an enemy of him.
