Chapter XIII Archbishop II
Austin walked out with some fury, and saw Hawthorn standing in the doorway, heavy sword in hand. And the soldiers of the surrounding church army all nervously held their weapons and surrounded Hawthorn, not daring to be careless, nor did they make the slightest move.
It wasn't until Hawthorn saw Austin walking out of the church angrily that he put away his sword, put it on his back, walked over, and asked, "Your Highness, didn't the archbishop embarrass you?"
"Give me three months to catch Charlotte, or let me mention Charlotte for trial. Austin said with a headache, "It's only three months, it's really forcing me." ”
"I'm going to check the town, it should still be there. Hawthorn heard Austin's words and said, and went to investigate.
Austin grabbed Hawthorn and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, this is not a place to talk about things, everything is still in the long run." Austin said, glancing at the soldiers of the Church Army who surrounded him.
Hawthorn nodded, ignoring the church troops surrounding him, and followed Austin out of the area. It wasn't until Hawthorn left that the Church Army breathed a sigh of relief.
After returning to the hall of the lord, Austin called Gray over as soon as possible, and when Gray came, he found that there was no one in the entire hall of lords except for His Royal Highness Austin.
"Your Highness, what's going on here?" asked Gray, looking at the empty hall of the lords.
"What I told you needs to be kept secret, and now no one but you and me should know. Austin said, then leaned into Gray's ear and whispered the task in his ear, "Gray, there is something I will leave to you to do, on the way here, there is a gang of bandits who need your ......." ”
After listening to Austin's words, Gray put a black line on his head and said, "Your Highness, what is this going to do?"
"Nothing, the archbishop gave me three months to find Charlotte, or else he would have to put me on trial in her place. Austin smiled and said, "You can't really let the archbishop burn me." ”
After Gray heard Austin's words, he frowned slightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why! It is the bishop who is judged, the church army guarding, what is in charge of His Highness, why do you want to find someone, and if you can't find it, you still need to be judged?"
"Who makes the family church great, forget it, don't have the same knowledge as them. So, you know what the mission is going to do?" Austin said
After thinking about the relationship before and after, Gray looked at Austin dumbfounded for a long time, and then stumbled and asked, "Wouldn't it be that you want to ...... the archbishop," he said, gesturing here on his neck.
Seeing Austin nodding, Gray almost jumped, this is too exciting, can't do this!
"Your Highness, this, it's not suitable! If you want to catch the witch, give me three months is completely enough, this, if you are not careful, it will be over, even Your Highness, you will be dead and alive. Gray immediately dissuaded.
"It's a bit hasty to decide this matter, it's three months anyway. In that case, you go and get rid of the bandits first, and I'll let Hawthorn go to suppress the bandits and cooperate with you. No matter what, we will definitely get rid of this bandit, so even if we don't need it in the end, we can get rid of the scourge of the trade road.
As for the future, we'll talk about it then, you are the last insurance. The church is watching from above, and I will personally do the arrest activities, and then see the attitude of the church, and finally make a decision. Do you think this is feasible?" Austin listened to Gray's advice and nodded, indeed, this is too risky, of course, the main thing is to do this, once it fails, it involves the people around him, if it is only himself, or an interest group, he will not hesitate, but the people around him are loyal to him, and it is not good to pit them like this.
"Yes" Gray was afraid that Austin would regret it, so he immediately ran out.
Austin looked up, looked at Hawthorne, and asked, "Aren't you like Gray and persuade me?"
Originally, except for Austin, the hall of the lords should be empty, but Hawthorn appeared from behind a pillar and said, "Persuade, will you listen?"
"Maybe I would. "After all, there's no need to do such a dangerous thing. ”
"If you want to live here safely, there's no better way to work with the church. Hawthorn said.
"yes, I want to live a stable life. Austin heard Hawthorne's metaphor and said.
"Since Your Highness doesn't just want to be stable, the church is here to stand in your way. This is at the junction of three parties, and the forces of all parties are here, and they are not very strong. So, Charlotte can riot here. She can, so can you. Hawthorn said.
"Isn't this a connection between the kingdom and the empire?how can there be three forces?" Austin asked, stunned.
"This is near an entrance to the Magic Forest. Hawthorn said.
"What is this? Could it be that there is a labyrinth strategy?" "For this worldview, Austin is already a little desperate, you say it's a fantasy worldview, but everyone doesn't have any true qi cultivation, hierarchy, you say it's martial arts, everyone practices martial arts and doesn't cultivate an internal force or something, but, it really has superpowers.
"Labyrinth Raiders?The Magic Forest is extremely dangerous, except for some masters, no one will enter it. But because this is an entrance and exit to the Magic Forest, there will be occasional demonic beasts, although they have not appeared in the past fifty years, but the empire and the kingdom are not willing to put too much energy here. ”
Austin heard Hawthorne's introduction, and although he smiled on the surface, he was extremely crazy inside. Can you still play friendly, do you dare to take the laws of this world seriously?
"So, what is a monster, is it a witch-like beast with supernatural powers?" Austin asked.
"Warcraft are just some big beasts, nothing. "As long as it's not a group action, there's nothing to fear." ”
"Oh, I see. "Because there is so much content that Austin needs to digest, Austin ignores a lot of obscure content. So much so that it wasn't until he knew about the beast tide that Austin paid attention to the so-called Warcraft, and before that, there had always been the impression that Warcraft was a large animal such as an elephant and a giraffe.
"Hawthorn, you seem to be ...... to the church," Austin wanted to use what word would be a better way to describe it, "without any reverence?"
"I'm not religious. Hawthorn said.
"Huh?" Austin looked at Hawthorn with some surprise, not expecting that he, the chief of the guard who was paid special attention to by the church, was not a believer, and then, Austin asked in a low voice, "Are there many non-believers?"
"If you look at the world, there are quite a lot, at least there are fewer religious people in the empire, and if it is far from the kingdom, there are many fewer people. Hawthorn explained.
"Oh," Austin nodded, then said, "Still, I have a feeling they value you." ”
Hawthorn nodded in agreement, not explaining anything.
This made Austin even more curious, although he had not seen Hawthorn do it, but just by carrying a one-person high heavy sword behind his back, he could feel his extraordinary, the heavy sword has no edge, it is not skillful, and it is light to lift weights, which is a profound martial arts realm in itself.
