Chapter 80: The Clergy

The iron gates of the monastery were hidden and unguarded, and it seemed that the management was quite lax.

It is important to know that a monastery is not a church, but a semi-enclosed school for priests or clergy, which is generally not open to the public, so it is also called a monastery.

Leon and his entourage walked through the mosaic tiles into the door, and in the middle of the courtyard stood a familiar statue - the dripping beak, that is, the gargoyle.

Its eyes were closed, its powerful hands clenched a long stone sword, and it was half-kneeling on the stone platform, and the fountain water spewed out of its mouth, which was quite artistic.

They came to a prayer room on the west side, and were about to push the door when they heard a loud frown.

Bang bang –

There was a knock on the door, and a lazy male voice came from inside: "Please come in." ”

Leon pushed open the door and saw two white-flowered figures entangled in front of the statue of the Virgin Mary in the prayer room, fighting heartily.

"Wait, three. ”

The man's breathing became rapid, and with a convulsion, he let out a sigh.

The handsome clergyman calmly withdrew, put on the white robe, and then patted the nun under him: "There are guests visiting, you should step back first." ”

Dressing up, the clergyman said politely, "I'm Father Martin, and you're witchers?"

Leon nodded, "Yes." ”

Father Martin laughed, "You've come much later than I expected, and if you don't show up today, I'll move back to the city with Tess." ”

Ineri said disdainfully: "At this juncture, you still have the heart to mess around in the monastery, so it's better to let you be killed by the black knight." ”

Father Martin was unimpressed, and still maintained a kind smile on his face.

He took out a gold coin, clipped it between his fingers, and kissed it.

"But you're going to lose half of your gratuity for that tooβ€”no one is going to have a hard time with these charming little ones, is there?"

His smile was different from that of Mr. Dante, who looked polite but was immediately repulsive, and the smile of Father Martin did make people want to be approached.

Even if he didn't despise his style, Li Ang had to secretly praise "It's really a good skin."

Inelle replied, "As a priest, shouldn't you be celibate according to the precepts, but you are not afraid of falling into hell if you mess with nuns?"

Father Martin blinked and smiled softly, "Just buy some indulgences after breaking the precepts, anyway, I don't want to be a pope, even if you say it, I won't do anything." ”

Although it is almost common for the priests and nuns of the convent to mess around, it does not mean that they are innocent, and several popes have been ousted by political opponents for keeping mistresses.

But for the low-ranking clergy, this concern is much less.

But Innelly insisted, "But if we say it, it will still affect you, won't it? You may even be excommunicated!"

Leon frowned, but didn't say anything to interrupt her, even though he didn't understand what Innelli was doing with all this.

The smile on Father Martin's face faded, and he asked, "What do you want?"

Innelli stretched out two fingers and said, "Gotta add money!"

Martin sighed, "It's too much to blackmail me as a low-ranking aco-priest, you should go to Imam Robert, who has three mistresses and wants to compete for the bishopric position." ”

Innelli repeated, "Gotta add money!"

Martin let out a wail, "Okay, I'll add you ten little gold coins of Genavino in my personal capacity, I should have stopped what I was doing with Tess if I knew you were so difficult." ”

"Deal!"

Inelli said decisively, "Next, let's ask Father Martin to tell us the details of the incident first." ”

Martin let out a long sigh and recalled, "That was half a month ago, that evening, a knight in a black robe visited the monastery, I at first thought he was a member of the Knights Hospitaller, but then he actually preached to us - to believe in the ancient evil god Fenrir. ”

"Of course, we will not accept his heresy, the Imam smashed him with a cross, and the Guardian Knight Mosilison attacked him, splitting his body and severing his head - but even if his head is different, he can still speak, and claims to take revenge on us. ”

"We were so frightened that the Imam took us to burn its corpse, and even tried to burn the horse he was riding, only to find that it was a dead horse wrapped in rotten flesh and the corpse of a child, which had long been emptied, and we realized that we had met the legendary Black Knight. ”

"After that, strange voices sounded every day, and after three days, people began to disappear in the monastery, and the imam and several high-ranking priests, worried about this, asked for help from you, and left the monastery and took up residence in the count's mansion in the city, leaving me and a group of monks and nuns to guard the monastery. ”

Leon asked, "How many people have been missing from the monastery by now?"

Martin said: "There are already three of them, namely the powerful Guardian Knight Mosilison, the night watchman Cheno, and my favorite Sister Diane. ”

Li Ang wondered: "It's been half a month since the incident happened, how can it be that only three people are missing?"

Martin spread his hands and said, "Maybe he still wants to preach to us." ”

Leon asked again, "What's the weird sound that rings every night?"

"If I could describe what kind of sound it was, I wouldn't use a word as loose as 'weird,'" Martin sighed. ”

Leon asked, "Are you sure they disappeared at night?"

Martin nodded, "I'm pretty sure, because I spent time in the prayer room with Sister Diane just before bedtime, but she disappeared the next day." ”

Li Ang said thoughtfully: "In other words, we just need to wait for the rabbit and wait until night, and then we can catch the black knight hiding in the dark?"

Martin hurriedly waved his hand: "You are professional, don't ask me about this kind of thing." But in my personal opinion, it should be like this. ”

Li Ang said: "In this case, then please arrange a clean room for us to rest first, and wait until the evening, we will naturally act." ”

"Only need one?"

Father Martin was a little puzzled at first, and then showed a sudden expression: "Sure enough, it's still you guys who are playing, and I've never tried a threesome." ”

He looked Innelli up and down, revealing an envious expression: "This witcher lady is still very beautiful, of course, even more ...... if there is no scar on her face"

Before he could finish speaking, the cold blade pressed against his neck.

"You probably need to understand what it means to be a mischief from the mouth. ”

A layer of cold sweat suddenly oozed from the top of Martin's head, and he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, please forgive me for my offense." ”

Inili put away her short sword and said coldly, "Although the gold coins are good, you should never expect a woman to be able to fully weigh the pros and cons, especially if she is already provoked. ”

Martin nodded like a chicken pounding garlic, where could he, who had lived in the monastery all year round, be able to withstand the murderous aura on Innelli's body.

He led the three of them to the resting room, and then said, "You must be careful, if you lose your life, you will not get the agreed honorarium." ”

Innelly closed the door coldly: "You don't have to worry about it. ”
