85_85536After hearing Father Peter say the name, William sighed secretly, knowing that this time he was in a big deal.

This priest Peter's original mysterious disguise, when unveiled in this way, actually has nothing. He is nothing more than an opponent of the Church of the Radiant Lord, a heretic hidden under the Holy Cloak. It's the kind of person who, as soon as he is openly discovered, will be killed by a large number of inquisitors from the Inquisition, and then tied up and burned......

William vividly remembers what his father, Baron Otto, had said to him solemnly a few months earlier. At the time, the knight, who seemed to be fearless, looked seriously and terrifying. And for Baron Otto's words "If you don't die, you won't die", William also thinks deeply.

"So it's a problem...... "William really doesn't know what to do now." If you turn your face, you will definitely die a miserable death. But if you don't turn your face, when this guy is arrested, tortured to extract a confession and ask if he has any accomplices, then he may be bitten in. It's more likely that Charlumi will be affected, as well as her father.

William, who has seen a lot of fundamentalists in the other world, and those religious madmen do immoral things, absolutely does not believe that if he shouts that he is innocent, those guys will believe that he is innocent.

In fact, at this moment, William has begun to lament the impermanence of fate, and why he is so unlucky.

"All in all, it's best to be able to kill the opponent in one go...... But the problem is that the other side, that group of heretics in the church does not know how much power they have. What am I going to do if they do a rake? Damn bastard...... Perhaps, I should have done things more modestly. Or rather, I should ...... Hmm...... "Thinking of this, William felt a very headache. Because he really can't think of anything about this guy.

Maybe he saw William's embarrassment, or maybe he did too much to pull people into Amway, so he had experience. So Father Peter was quick to reassure William: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Mr. William. "It's a heretic, but a stick is a stick. In Father Peter's smile, there seemed to be some kind of reassuring power, just looking at his smile like this, William's originally restless heart was re-stabilized.

"Yes, you don't need to worry too much. Mr. William. Perhaps to emphasize his tone, Father Peter repeated what he had already said once. Of course, if he just kept saying don't worry, don't worry about that, then William would definitely be worried. So, Father Peter was quick to give a specific reason for "not worrying":

"For hundreds of years, if not millennia, those who pursued the truth were the strongest, and those who were complacent were the weakest. Yes. Perhaps in the eyes of the vast majority of people, the Church of the Lord of Radiance is still an irrepressible and irresistible behemoth.

But in reality, its foundations have long since decayed. Today, in the north of the Gothic Empire, in the emerging kingdom of Briton, as well as in the Polotsk region. Our companions have gained an absolute advantage. The semi-public, or directly public, reformed churches, and the path of science have long since been paved to replace the decaying old religions. This trend is an irrepressible, irreversible process. I believe that it will not be long before we can ......"

“...... And what about Mazovia?" William couldn't help but ask the question: "About those regions you are talking about...... Yes, I did hear a few things about you. The refusal of the king of Briton to continue to obey the Pope's orders to reorganize the state religion. The casual beliefs of the Polotsks, the Reformation in the Northogothic, and so on...... But the question is, what about Mazovia? What about Mazovia? What about the kingdom of Wende?"

"The situation in the Kingdom of Wende, or Mazovia, is somewhat different from other regions. Father Peter said: "Of course, I do not mean that the power of the Church is great in this region. It's that here, neither the church nor those of us who oppose the church are very strong. Because...... After all...... Hehe......"

"Because Mazovia is poor. The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. It sounds good, what is responsible for human beings or something. Actually, it's just that the cake is cut small, so I just feel uncomfortable. I've seen a lot of this in later generations. You want to lie to me? William then said in his heart what Father Peter had not finished.

Having said that, however, Father Peter did prefer to deal with some of the statements made by the priest Peter, and his knowledge of the "opposition group", rather than standing with the backward and rotten ecclesiastical forces.

Of course, this does not mean that William trusts them, values them and truly treats them as his own kind and companions...... At least, until these guys don't show enough sincerity. He wouldn't do it.

"So, Father, are you a wizard besides a church clerk serving the Lord of Light?" asked William tentatively.

"Alchemists, to be exact. Father Peter replied. In this way, he calmly answered William's question - his identity. A heretic. He is also a servant of the devil wanted by the mainstream Church of the Lord of Radiance, a self-proclaimed alchemist who seeks truth, science, and human progress. A man with a special otherness of supernatural powers related to machinery, metal, casting, and the invention of the Zào.

"What shall I call you, then?" asked William.

"Just do what you are. Father Peter replied.

"Oh......?" Hearing him say this, he was a little surprised: "Do you think that faith is more important than your other identity?" Although it may have been a bit rude to ask, William couldn't help but ask such a question.

"Of course, faith is important. Father Peter's answer. Then looking at William's surprised expression, he laughed again: "It seems that young Mr. Knight, you have a certain misunderstanding about us...... In fact, there is no conflict between us, the beliefs of those of us 'Protestants', and the natural sciences. We do believe in the Lord of Light, but that does not affect our yearning for a good life, for the truth, and for the power to change this reality. Do you understand what I mean?"

"To be honest, I don't really understand. In fact, I can't fully believe what you say, Father Peter. William said this "very sincerely" to the other party.

After hearing William say such a thing, Father Peter was slightly disappointed.

After a period of observation, he thought he had understood William's values and his logical way of thinking. Although there is no real contact with these heretical alchemists. But William's thoughts do have many points that coincide with them.

Under such circumstances, Father Peter originally thought that he would be able to arouse William's sense of identity with only two or three sentences. And then fanned out, it can make William's blood boil and then bow his head or something.

Of course, after this, there is still a certain test, and then a certain benefit is charged, sponsorship fee, entrance fee or something, and after playing a trick to get away with it, William will be introduced to the club.

But he didn't expect it at all. William's city was much deeper than he thought. At this moment, it was William who played the trick of wanting to catch and indulge.

"What an interesting young man...... Father Peter was not discouraged, much less angry. After all, when it comes to the city, he is much stronger than William.

"It's just...... I don't know...... Hehe. Thinking of this, Father Peter smiled inwardly, and then said to William, "What do you want to do now? What do you want to do? Do you want to report me? Or do you want to choose to join us?"

William did not answer such a near-showdown question as Father Peter. He stood up and said to Father Peter: "Next, I ask the priest to pay more attention to the agrarian reform in Chersk." ”

With that, William stood up and left the tent.

“...... Hehehehe......" After that, Father Peter burst out laughing.

Unexpectedly, he didn't expect that William would give such an answer in the end. What is this? But can a single knight be qualified to cooperate with the only two huge organizations in this world?

Father Peter's answer, of course, was...... OK
