Back on the road, Leo suddenly remembered something and slowly stopped.

Her Royal Highness the princess sent someone to keep an eye on her, there should be no malice, maybe just to find herself. But he couldn't tell if there were still people watching nearby, and it would be too bad if he rushed to the Sun Church in case he attracted the suspicion of the other party, after all, he had traces of the Joseph family on his body.

In the Lunar Empire, except for a few churches that were listed as taboo, the administration would not hinder the spread of the doctrines of the true God, nor would it restrict anyone from choosing their faith, but the direct collusion between the nobility and the church was the most disgusting thing for the royal family. Because in the early days of the empire, there were several rebellions of high-ranking nobles, intending to overthrow the rule of the Cast royal family, which was simply started by blood. And in the middle of this, the shadow of the Church of the Gods can be seen almost every time, after all, if the family they support succeeds, the church itself will immediately become the state religion, and receive supreme glory and divine grace, even if it is worth the sacrifice.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the main physical plane of Gaia, for example, the medium-sized kingdom where the Holy Church of the Sun is located, the Kingdom of Holy Ureon, is the state religion of the Sun Church, and the authority of the Pope is even above the royal power. So, no matter how careful Leo is, he can't overdo it.

"Two hours, it should be enough. This letter has been delayed on the road for too long, and it is better to arrive early. Leo looked around quietly, and soon had an idea, and walked towards a nearby restaurant.

............

Martin Verro was enjoying a rare and wonderful nap, and as an elderly man and a Level 7 priest, he hadn't slept so soundly for a long time.

Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door, waking Martin from his dream.

"Come in!" the old man's voice was displeased, but at the same time there was a hint of anticipation, as one of the most authoritative people in the High Temple of Gaswell of the Church of the Sun, it didn't matter. Subordinates will never come to disturb themselves.

Sure enough, it was his henchman Paladin who pushed the door in.

The middle-aged paladin in bright silver full-body armor bowed down and said, "Lord Bishop, I'm sorry to disturb your lunch break, there is a young man outside asking to see you. ”

"Isn't the young man a messenger of the Joseph family?" the old priest looked puzzled, "why did he see me?"

The paladin replied, "The boy said that he was the messenger of the Joseph family, but he would not hand over the letter until he saw you in person." ”

"A young man is a messenger, and what tricks is Crimond playing......" Martin muttered for a moment, "bring him in." ”

A few minutes later, in the Temple of the Sun. The exclusive meeting room of Bishop Martin Verro.

Leo waited for the paladin who had led him in out, and carefully identified the old priest on the other side, and made sure that he was the one with whom he had met in Joseph's castle, so he took out the letter, handed it over, and said, "Your Excellency, this is a letter that the Count asked me to send to you. ”

Leo can understand why they want to use this most primitive and inefficient method of communication. After all, this is also the method with the highest level of secrecy, regardless of using long-range magical communication. Or use long-range magic communication, it is inevitable that it will be intercepted and eavesdropped.

Martin took the letter, but did not open it immediately, but looked at Leo with interest. He asked, "Doesn't the Joseph family have a group of excellent intelligence officers, why would they send one of your children to deliver the letter?"

"In fact, after Lord Leo left, the family's intelligence system has been paralyzed. The personnel also returned to the territory. As for why I sent the letter, here's how it happened......" After a few moments, Leo told the other party about the recovery of the letter. But of course he wouldn't say he owned the mage's mansion. Instead, he replaced that passage with a fluke of escaping pursuit.

Martin didn't doubt it, opened the letter and read it. When the last word is read, the unique material of the stationery suddenly burns, and in the blink of an eye, it turns to ashes.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Leo bowed slightly and said, "The letter has been delivered, then I will take my leave." ”

Martin raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute, when will you return?"

"I'm afraid I won't be returning anytime soon, and I'm going to take the magic joint exam next, maybe after the exam, I'll go straight to the magic academy. Of course, Leo knew what the other party was thinking, and replied very calmly.

"Hehe, I wanted you to bring my reply back, but it doesn't seem to work. Martin shook his head a little disappointed, smiled and continued: "Since you are going to take the joint entrance examination, you can temporarily live in the temple, the environment here is good, and it is very suitable for you to study." ”

Leo was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, the other party should not know that he had something to do with Princess Alice, so he issued such an invitation, so he hurriedly said: "Thank you for your kindness, I have already found a place to live." ”

Martin nodded: "Well, the Joseph family as a whole converted to the Church of the Sun, so we are close allies now, and if you need anything during the exam, you can come to me." I will do my best to assist as far as I can. ”

"Thank you so much. Leo responded gratefully, but in fact he was muttering in his heart that he would never come here again in the future. Just as he was about to say goodbye, he suddenly remembered that he had received the "Embrace of the Necromancy" before, so he asked, "Lord Bishop, what should I do if I want to believe in the Sun God?"

Martin was slightly surprised, and didn't quite understand what Leo meant, but he still replied: "It's very simple, you need to study the teachings and scriptures of my Lord first, and when you can open your heart to your Lord, you can go to the church or temple to be baptized, leave the imprint of my Lord in your soul, and become a true believer of my Lord from now on." ”

"It doesn't seem easy for me as a traverser. It's just about opening your heart...... It is estimated that it will be difficult to do. Leo muttered to himself, and then asked, "What if you want to change your faith?"

After saying that, he regretted it again, and said this in front of a priest of the true God, obviously with some provocative meaning.

However, Martin showed no signs of anger, and instead smiled: "I can't answer this question, but if you really want to know, you can go find a book called "Theory of Faith". ”

"It's that I shouldn't ask such a question. Leo bowed his head and apologized.

"It's okay, you're a mage, I can understand. "But if you really want to become a believer in my Lord, I can first ask someone to bring you some doctrines and scriptures." ”

Leo hurriedly replied, "Thank you, but don't worry about it yet, if I want to believe in a certain god, the Sun God Lord must be the first choice." ”

Martin did not force it, and said with a solemn countenance: "The glory of my Lord shines on you, and may your future path be bright." ”

............

At the same time, in a certain gorgeous palace, Alice listened to Ryan's speech and wondered, "How could you lose people?"

That kid is very ghostly. Ryan said helplessly: "He drank a lot of beer in the restaurant, and went to the toilet several times in a row, and the person who followed him relaxed, and the last time he didn't go to the toilet, the person disappeared." ”

"It's really ...... to use this method Cunning enough, hahaha. Alice laughed out loud, "You say, where is he going to go?"

Ryan shook his head: "I can't guess this, but Your Highness, why are you spying on him?"

Alice didn't answer, but said something else: "Oops, he found out that he was being followed, he will definitely think of me, it seems that he will apologize in person tomorrow." ”

Ryan rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "You're a little ...... him"

"Special people, always treat them specially. Alice smiled brightly and changed the subject, "What do you think I should do with Count Joseph's side?"

Ryan didn't dwell on the previous topic, and replied, "You already have an idea. ”

Alice wrapped her fingers around her long hair and said, "Although his ambition is not small, if he wants to achieve the threatening Cheng dù, it will not be enough to expand for another hundred years. Let's look at it first, I'm curious to see where this family will go. ”

Ryan sighed and said, "You have to understand that ambitious and capable people are double-edged swords, and if the sword gripper is not strong enough, he will only hurt himself first." (To be continued......)
