After this very "friendly" conversation, Gaylot Valence was obviously not in the mood to continue talking to Edward, and snorted coldly and rode towards the castle, without even saying hello. The people around him just nodded and watched him leave, obviously already accustomed to his attitude.

"How did you end up with this goddamn bastard?" It wasn't until Gaio was far away that Sir Leonardo turned his head and looked at Edward with a very surprised look: "Seriously, it's the first time I've seen him talk so much to someone he just met. ”

"It's nothing, it's just an accident at the King's Bridge. Edward smiled and shook his head, and briefly said a few words about the acquaintance of the two men - naturally, he also lightly avoided the events of that night, and only mentioned that he had met the Sacred Tree Knight at the entrance of the alley at night, and walked out with his injured shoulder.

"I see, no wonder he looks like he's going to kill......" Sir Leonardo nodded a little understandingly, and then patted Edward on the shoulder, as if to comfort him: "Don't worry too much, this guy is like this, we are all getting used to it." ”

"Almost all of the Knights of the Sacred Tree brethren know that Gaio Valence hates the Mineste family to the point of sickness! Leonardo gave Edward a reassuring look: "But this guy is also very rigid, as long as you don't make mistakes, it is impossible to deliberately embarrass you." ”

Edward nodded slightly, turned on his horse and followed Sir Leonardo, passing through the incomparably large steel gate, his eyes couldn't help but look at the precipitous fortress standing in the city.

From the inside, the castle was much smaller than the one in The Hague Fort, with a fairly large open space, but it had an astonishing number of towers, and the entire fortress almost looked like a myriad of spears reaching into the sky. Directly opposite the gate is a smaller-looking church, and behind it is the main building of the fortress.

But this rudimentary-looking castle is more like a fortified military fortress, with only a few hundred men to withstand the siege of tens of thousands of troops - so far from its original function.

"The castle was supposed to be a fortress on the hill of the fortified city of Turin, built to resist invasion from the east. After the Venerable Levy unified the entire kingdom of Turin, it became the headquarters of the Knights in the capital. ”

Sir Leonardo walked to the stables and fastened the reins to the wooden pillars, and said to Edward behind him: "Most of the time, there are only eighty knights here, plus a thousand soldiers of the Knights of the Sacred Tree, waiting for the call of His Majesty the King, the main force of the Knights of the Sacred Tree, forever stationed in the castles and fortresses of the East, on the lookout for the mad heretics east of the Blood Cliff. ”

"Of course, for the most part, our mission is to protect the trade routes within the King's realm and deal with some difficult monsters - just like the Blood Wolves in that case, if a lord rebels somewhere, it is the duty of the Knights of the Sacred Tree to follow His Majesty the King to quell the rebellion. Leonardo said in a deep voice, "It also has to do with our oath - didn't that bastard of Tornier tell you about it?"

"Just a little. Edward shook his head apologetically, most of his memories of his original body had disappeared with the collision of the two souls, and most of what remained was about swordsmanship, so he could only lie: "Sir Thernier rarely talks to me about the Knights. ”

"I knew it was going to be like this!" Sir Leonardo sighed scoldingly, but Edward still noticed the flash of loneliness on his face, and Leonardo, who had a heavy expression, shook his head: "Don't talk about these uncomfortable things, come with me, I'll go find you a place to rest." ”

Although it was not the first time, Edward noticed something different - Sir Leonardo seemed to be reluctant to say much when it came to Sir Torniel Gombray, and even avoided talking about it, as if he was desperately suppressing something, which made Edward have to worry a little.

The other thing is the atmosphere...... Despite the presence of more than a thousand people, the castle still looked empty, and the sergeants in the robes of the Knights seemed to be indifferent and never spoke, feeling quite close to the guy Gaio Valens, and the air above the entire castle seemed to be condensed with a stern aura.

It was the breath of clutching the hilt of the sword at all times, as if he had seen the chill of the blade - there was nothing more familiar and nostalgic to Edward, and the solemnity in the air almost made him feel the most real blood gushing.

It seems that the original choice was correct, and I really came to a good place...... The black-haired boy walked through the corridors of the tower as he followed Sir Leonardo's side, his dark eyes full of excitement and curiosity.

"Did you encounter anything happy?" Leonardo looked at Edward's face a little inexplicably, and the excited smile that came out of nowhere made him raise his eyebrows, pulling the corners of his mouth and muttering, "It looks like he's in a hurry to die." ”

"It's nothing, just the thought of becoming a member of the Knights of the Sacred Tree right away......" Edward's happy look seemed to be from the bottom of his heart, hiding a hint of madness in his eyebrows, "It's so happy." ”

"If you are troubled, go and find the source of your pleasure, find the treasure that pleases you most, and then set your foot on the journey......" The black-haired young man whispered the words of the little priest to his "Glorious Proverbs", and a happy arc hung on the corners of his mouth, revealing a pious smile that he had never felt before:

"Thank you Radiant Cross, your old man is not wrong at all!"

.................. "Well, ahem, ahem...... According to Cardinal Peter's arrangement, you will be one of the many priests of the Radiant Cross from today onwards. Priest Cardo, holding a brand-new priest's robe, looked at Weber standing in front of him with a very complicated look: "May the Radiant Cross bless you." ”

"Thank you for your blessings, and may the Radiant Cross bless you forever. The little priest Webb smiled and took the priest's robe handed over by the other party, which was slightly different from the one originally worn by Weber, although it was also made of wool, the style was more compact and closer, making Webb's already thin body even more weak.

For this pious little priest, Cardo still has a good impression, especially when he thinks of the other party's bloody and scarred soles and calves, he can't help but respect this priest who is much younger than himself, and even raises a little admiration in his heart.

And the final result also made Priest Caddor a little indignant for Weber, and he even forgot that he also regarded these two people as liars in the first place, including Weber's "bold" interpretation of the doctrine of the Radiant Cross when Weber was arguing with Bishop Peter, which made Cardo think of him as a liar who was good at sophistry.

But now it seems that Weber Alexander, who was a pure and extremely religious priest, was treated like this-Priest Cado thought he would leave, but Weber chose to stay in the Radiant Cross Church, which also made Cardo very happy for a while, and no one would not want to make friends with such a kind and pious man.

"Dear Webers, you know that the city of Turin is very large, and in many towns and suburbs, the churches alone are no longer sufficient to mention the devout believers. We need more good clergy to go out into the streets and bazaars to preach the Gospel to them and hear the voice of the Radiant Cross. ”

Speaking of this, Priest Cardo's face suddenly paused, and his face turned a lot red with embarrassment: "And the position you are responsible for is in a piece of Dongcheng District...... Outside the shantytown, across the door is a tavern, and you should be able to find that location if you go by!"

Cardo was too embarrassed to go on, for this arrangement was a humiliation! Normally, this preaching between the poor and the shabby would have been left to the preparatory priests who were still in practice—apparently Bishop Peter did not intend to make Weber's life in the capital any better.

"Oh...... I used to preach at Fort The Hague when I was there, so I have some experience. The little priest Weber obviously didn't react, but just smiled and nodded: "Is there anything else you need to order?"

"Please don't say it yet, I knew you would refuse, in fact......" Priest Cardo was just anxious to explain to Weber, and then the whole person was stunned, and waited for half a second before reacting: "You accepted?!"

"Why not?" Weber's brain cells obviously did not contain the so-called "deliberate harm", "malicious difficulty" and other words, and even showed a somewhat ashamed expression: "In fact, I have indeed seen a lot when I came to the Radiant Cross Church this time, and I still have too many shortcomings, maybe starting from scratch can make me truly understand what the mission entrusted to me by the Radiant Cross is." ”

As he spoke, the little priest Weber showed an extremely sincere and expectant smile towards Cardo, and stretched out his right hand: "Fellow Cardo, are you willing to help me?"

Cardo suddenly felt that the Radiant Cross was smiling at him.
