Faced with Nock's inquiry, Rhodes was a little distressed.

But he still replied honestly: "According to my personal wishes, I am willing to go in and have a look."

At the very least, we have to find out the true identity of the person inside.

But as an escort for adults, I don't recommend you to take risks. After all, we still have important things to do.

There is no need to make extraneous branches. ”

Hearing Rod's answer, Nock was relieved.

At the very least, Rhodes was competent as a bodyguard.

Unlike Finnet, who didn't understand the meaning of the guard at all.

He prefers to be adventurous, or rather to get into trouble.

If it's not Rhodes but Finet standing here today,

There was no need to wait for Nock to ask, Finet had already broken into the church by this time.

"Well, I don't want to be in trouble. But Richelieu's qualifications were too poor.

If he goes to officialdom to become an official, his qualifications are fine.

But wanting to stand out from a group of candidates and become a cardinal,

This qualification has no chance at all.

If I don't help him make a name for himself, then his trip will basically be for nothing.

If he doesn't become a cardinal, for me, it's not a help, it's a resistance.

I persuaded him to continue his journey to the Holy Court, and if he loses the election, he will definitely not be able to return to the Church in the Royal City.

I can only take him in Reims Cathedral.

But how can one church accommodate the two of us?

If he were just an ordinary bishop, he would still be willing to be subservient to me.

But even if he loses the election, his status is not below mine.

How dare I really take him as a subordinate?

After a long time, there will be a gap between the two of us.

It's not surprising that they turn against each other.

Richelieu understood this, too, so along the way, we both went separate and recruited people separately.

When the matter is done, then he will return to the royal capital with his team.

If he fails, he has a team that can compete with the master wherever he goes.

I don't want to turn my face with him when the time comes! ”

Rod didn't expect that there were so many ways in this.

Obviously, along the way, Bishop Ryan and Bishop Richelieu were as good as friends of life and death.

The two of them have been discussing countermeasures for going to the Holy Court, and they have checked each other to fill in the gaps.

I don't know how perfect the fit is.

Why is there such a danger inside?

Doesn't that mean that he is going to start watching out for Roger Fit now?

lest you have feelings in the future, if you really turn your face, you won't be able to do it.

Rod thought he understood Nock's intentions in saying these words, and immediately assured:

"My lord, I see. I'll keep my distance from Roger Feld in the future, and I'll remind Finett as well. ”

"Don't!" Nock directly interrupted Rod's words.

"Don't. We are allies now, and we should be close. Not because of something that hasn't happened yet,

There is a gap in my heart. That will affect our cooperation and eventually lead to the failure of cooperation.

Rod, we are not afraid of failure, as long as we are prepared to fail.

What we need to do now is to make things as perfect as possible and not let things fail.

Then, the worst outcome will not come and we are all win-win-win.

Then we can continue to be intimate.

So, you just have a bottom in your heart, and there is no need to deliberately alienate Roger Fett.

Otherwise, it will arouse his suspicions and ruin my relationship with Richelieu.

Richelieu and I are prepared for success and failure, so, whatever the outcome,

We can all accept it. You don't need to worry about us.

Don't tell Finet about this, or with his character, things will be bad sooner or later. ”

Only then did Rhodes understand what Nock meant, it turned out that he was just mentioning him.

Nock saw that Rod understood what he meant, and stopped beating around the bush.

He looked at the church in front of him and said, "If you want to succeed, you have to take some risks.

If there is a problem here, it may not be our chance.

Solving the problem here will allow Richelieu's reputation to spread.

In this way, we can solve a little more trouble along the way, which can increase Richelieu's chances of winning.

Of course, we only pick those troubles that we can solve and that are easy to get a good name.

Troubles like those of the Burgundian collar, we must not get involved. ”

Rhodes said he understood.

"My lord, what should we do now? Break in directly, or find the village chief and villagers, and then shoot? ”

Nock thought for a moment and vetoed Rod's proposal.

"You come in with me, and we'll make our identities clear and pay a formal visit.

I want to know, face me, the legitimate bishop of the Holy Church.

Father Pinocchio inside, how to deal with it.

However, you also have to be careful not to go too far from my side.

Also, give me your dagger, and I'll enchant a little bit of the Holy Light attribute for you.

Within a day, it's all valid.

If there's some dark creature in it that can't see the light, give it a chance.

If it's just some unscrupulous criminals, or reclusive criminals, then make a decision based on the situation.

As long as he is not a person who has sinned deeply, for the sake of his heart-washing, it is not impossible to let him go. ”

"My subordinates understand."

Rod handed the dagger hidden on his body to Nock,

Nok enchanted a sixth-level punishment spell on it,

He then returned the dagger to Rhodes and told him to put it away.

Get ready, Nock tells Rhodes to knock on the door.

For a formal visit, you have to come in secret.

Salute first, then soldier.

Rhodes vigilantly approached the church door, only to find that the iron door was unlocked.

"My lord, the door is not closed."

"Then go in and call someone!"

"Yes!"

The two entered the front yard of the church one after the other.

The yard is not big, but it is empty.

Except for some green plants that served as fences, there were no plants in the yard, not even weeds.

The floor is made of gravel.

"Is anyone there? My master, Bishop Lane, came to visit! I don't know where the priest of your church is! ”

Rhodes held the hilt of his sword in his hand, his eyes looking around, and he shouted loudly at the building in front of him.

The sound was so loud that Nock felt that even if it was a backyard, it should be able to be heard.

If it weren't for the fact that the church was located in the middle of nowhere, the villagers who lived nearby would have been alarmed by Rod's shouts.

But the reality is that the nearest house is 100 meters away from the church.

Rod shouted a few more times,

Still no answer.

Now, not to mention that Rod feels that something is wrong, even Nock feels bad.

"Holy Protection!"

Nock unceremoniously shielded Rhodes, and reminded at the same time:

"Rod, draw your sword and be on alert!"

Rod drew his sword and stepped back in front of Nock.

Ever since Nock found out in the col that Bill the Dragon Knight seemed to know his weapon and was still very jealous,

Nock was no longer secretive about the pair.

Always take it with you.

It's just that someone made a pair of holsters, and put [Holy Light and Punishment] in the holsters separately, pinned around their waists.

As long as he covered the hem of his clothes, no one noticed that he had a weapon on him.

Nock only pulled out the [Holy Light] and kept the [Punishment], maybe he could help the enemy in a critical moment.

"Radiance Shield!"

Nock put a shield of light on each of Rod and himself, and then motioned for Rod to push the main entrance of the church.

"Crunch—"

The sound of the main entrance being in disrepair,

This made both Nock and Rod frown.

Because, on the surface of this sound, the age of this church, is at least twenty years old.

But it was clear that they had received information from d'Artagnan that the church had been built at the expense of Father Pinocchio.

The age is definitely not more than eight years!

Because, Father Pinocchio came to Colora Village only eight years ago!

It seems that there is definitely something wrong with this church!

"Enter!"

Nock gave Rhodes instructions.

Rod was not ambiguous, pushed the door open completely, and strode in.

In the church, it was really dark.

Even though it was close to noon, there wasn't much light inside.

"Illumination!"

Nock didn't even think about it, and released a flare directly at the roof of the lobby.

"Squeak squeak!"

Startled by the sudden appearance of light, an animal makes a frightened sound and runs frantically from the top of the lobby.

"Something!"

Rod looked up in surprise, trying to find out who was the voice owner.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a frightened bat."

Nock reached out and tapped Rhodes on the shoulder twice, signaling him not to be nervous.

"Go, the most important thing now, find that Father Pinocchio and see where he is sacred."

At Nock's urging, Rod opened the way in front again.

The two searched the lobby and found no trace of people, but they also found clues.

"The lobby was dirty, there was a lot of dust, and there were cobwebs in the corners. It doesn't look like someone has been active for a long time.

However, near the two sides of the middle aisle, it looks like someone has sat on it. ”

Rhodes was quick to give the conclusion of the investigation.

Nock understood: "Leave the lobby alone, go to the back and have a look." ”

As the two of them continued to go deeper, there was a door to the right side of the lobby, which was supposed to lead to the confessional room or backyard.

Nock and Rhodes didn't notice that their every move fell into a pair of red eyes.

Seeing that they were going to touch the door behind the lobby, the owner of the eyes was a little anxious.

wanted to stop the two, but as soon as they came out of the hiding place, they were illuminated by the flares released by Nock.

Feeling uncomfortable, he hid back to his hiding place.

Watching the two of them disappear at the door, they were in a hurry.

"Sure enough, it's a confessional room, but it's darker outside!"

Nock looked at the environment where he could barely reach out and sighed.

"Illumination!"

Nock also released flares.

Flares are lifted into the air, and the environment of the confessional is in full view.

This confessional is not large.

It may be that there is only one priest.

There is only one separate compartment in the confessional room.

On one side it is for the penitent to sit and on the other side it is for the priest who listens to the confession.

The confessional room was dark, but nothing out of the ordinary.

There were no figures, and there was a thick layer of dust everywhere.

Only in the place of the penitent, there is a thin layer of dust, compared to other places,

There's a lot less dust here.

Nock and Rhodes exchanged glances, exchanged glances, and walked back into the confessional chamber again.

Because under the illumination of the illumination, the two found that at the end of the confessional room, there was actually a wooden door.

"Huh? There is a lock on this door. ”

Rod was surprised.

Nock asked directly, "Can you open it?" ”

Rod fiddled twice and replied, "It's rusty, I can't open it, but I can split it." ”

"Then it's a split!"

"Yes!"

The two stepped back some distance, leaving room for Rhodes to play.

"Drink!"

Rod let out a loud shout, and the sword body was entwined with fighting energy, and quickly slashed into the lock.

"Dangchang!"

The lock was split and fell to the ground.

"It's on!"

Rod said happily.

"Be careful, don't be careless."

Nock reminded.

"Got it."

Rod carefully opened the wooden door with the tip of his sword,

A stench poured out of the room,

So that Nock and Rod couldn't help but feel nauseous, and hurriedly retreated some distance,

They all covered their mouths and noses with one hand.

But this stench made the faces of the two change greatly.

Because of this taste, both of them are no strangers.

That's the rancid smell that forms after the corpse is decomposed!

There are corpses behind the door!

Is it Father Pinocchio?

Nock and Rhodes weren't sure, but they already had the worst in mind.

"Let's go! Replace me with the front door, and you watch out behind you. ”

Nock didn't care whether Rod objected or not, and walked directly past Rhodes and walked in front.

Rod wanted to stop it, but he looked at the small wooden door, and then at the long sword in his hand,

I have to recognize a fact.

His weapons couldn't be used in such a small space.

He could only resign himself to following behind Nock, always paying attention to the movements behind him, so as not to be attacked.

Nock threw a few flares into the doorway, spreading them all over the back of the door.

This time he didn't use the illumination technique because Nock was going to keep one hand.

The flare can be detonated when necessary, and it is distributed in all corners by Nok.

It's hard to prevent.

Unlike Illumination, which can only explode in the air.

With the flares, Nock was able to see the small room clearly.

It's just that, after seeing it clearly, Nock gasped.

The room was covered with bones, and I don't know how many bones there were.

Even some of the bones seem to have a sense of age and have decayed.

But there are also bones that are new.

And the rancid smell that Nock and Rhodes smelled came from a tattered corpse.

The corpse is already decomposing badly,

White bones have been seen in many places.

The tumbling corpse maggots on his body made Nock look sick to his stomach.

Although he has experienced life and death, he has also killed people.

But I didn't see a decomposing corpse.

Nock hurriedly covered his mouth and legs and walked out of the room.

Rhodes, who was standing outside the room, couldn't help but curiously walk into the door and take a look.

Just at a glance,

And he withdrew.

Although he didn't throw up against the wall like Nock, he didn't stop retching.

"Gross!"

Nock felt like he was about to vomit out his bitter gall,

But he still couldn't forget the image in his mind, leaning against the wall, retching frantically.

It wasn't until a long time later, when Nock finally got better, that he straightened up.

Stay away from your own masterpiece.

"Huh? What about Rhodes? ”

Nock wondered.

"Rod! Where are you? ”

Nock shouted.

"Master, I'm here! Sorry, I just threw up, and I was worried about affecting you, so I'll go over there. ”

Rod came out of the compartment where the confessional priest was sitting with his sword in his hand, a smile on his face.

When Nock heard this, he waved his hand absently and said, "Okay, don't explain." Let's go, get out of here first.

When I go to the village, I need to find some water to rinse my mouth.

I don't want to stay here for a moment. ”

Hearing this, Rhodes hesitated, "This ...... Master, what about the corpses here? ”

"What to do! I'm the master, and you should listen to me! Is it important for the corpse here or for me!

Originally, I thought that the priest here was the only one, and there must be a lot of money, and I could extort a sum of money.

I didn't expect it to be disgusting to me. Dog's day, the best corpse is that bullshit Father Pinocchio,

Otherwise, when I recover, I must make him look good! ”

With that, Nock ignored Rod's reaction and walked towards the door to the lobby.

Rod looked at Nock's scolding figure, and couldn't help but tighten the long sword in his hand,

The look in Nock's back changed......
