Chapter 379: The Source of the "Plague".
"You should know that I want to see you, and no one can stop me. The cardinal said as he looked at the old man in front of him.
"Pastor Ilyin is not lying, I am indeed tired today. Pastor Theon said, "You see that I am so old, and I have to breathe for a long time to say a few words, so let me rest." ”
"You look old, but you and I both know that years or even more than ten years can't kill you, so why do you hide from me like this. ”
"How do you know I'll survive these years?"
The cardinal opened his mouth and hesitated for a long time, but still admitted the identity: "You are my teacher," he said, "of course I know what kind of strength you have." ”
"Bugatti, don't you see the gauze wrapped around my eyes? Everything has changed, and you and I can no longer control our future destiny. ”
Without saying a word, a light of faith flew out from the cardinal's finger and flew above the head of the old priest Theon. However, almost in the blink of an eye, the pure white light of faith suddenly turned into a fist-sized gray and yellow chaotic vortex! He wanted to collect the light of faith into his body, but it was too late. A tingling sensation suddenly appeared in his brain, severing him from the light of faith. "How did your future become like this!" exclaimed the cardinal!
"Whose future do you see?" asked the old priest calmly.
"The future of half of the inhabitants of the town of Peace is in chaos!" said the cardinal, "why is that? Why don't you send the news back to the south when you already know about it?" do you know that this is for us pastors...... It's a catastrophe!"
"Send the news back to the south, where will it go?" the old priest Theon sighed and said, "If the Bright Pope is still in the royal capital, I will naturally send the news back. But now, whose ears will the news reach when it comes back to the South? The king, who is as old as I am. What will you do when you hear this? I guess I'll send the Knight of Light to slaughter the town of Peace. ”
"Teacher! Are you crazy?! Although the Knight of Light has been controlled by the royal court, he still abides by the rules of knighthood! And do you know it! This is like a plague! From south to north, it has spread hundreds of thousands of miles! The people who will become a chaotic state in the future will spread to at least dozens of cities! At this rate, it will spread to the entire continent in less than ten years! At that time, what situation will we priests face? The royal power has suppressed the divine power for twenty years! If the priest loses the ability to prophesy, the royal power will directly wipe out the divine power on this continent! Do you know that it took me three years to find out that the peaceful town is the source of this 'plague'! You could have told me in advance. ”
There was silence for a long time, and the old priest Theon's face gradually darkened. "Bugatti, I'm getting old, but I'm not stupid enough to tell the truth. He said to the former student who was standing two steps away, "The royal family will not allow threats to appear in the royal capital, and if you can become a cardinal in charge of the royal capital, it means that you are already on the side of the royal family." So, we're on the opposite side now, so why should you take me for a fool. As your teacher, I feel insulted. Not because you deceived me, but because you betrayed the faith. ”
"I betrayed the faith?" the cardinal suddenly laughed angrily, "Teacher, in the past three years, I have traveled to hundreds of cities on the mainland, just to find the source of chaos, I have worked diligently for the Cult of Light, how can you say that I am a traitor?!"
"Then you can explain one thing to me, where does the religious tax come from?"
"It was laid down twenty years ago! What does it matter to me, I have only been a cardinal for five years!" retorted the cardinal.
"But in the last five years, the religious tax has tripled! The kingdom tax is heavy enough, what the hell is this religious tax? What qualifications do you have to pay taxes to believers on behalf of the God of Light!"
"Voluntary! It's all voluntary! It's the believers who voluntarily pay taxes, and I didn't force them!" the cardinal's tone became more and more serious, but then he realized that he was too out of shape, and added: "Teacher, I have been traveling around the mainland for the past few years, and I don't know about their unauthorized increase in religious taxes. ”
The cardinal's last tone was very sincere, as a student of the old Reverend Theon, he still had a part of his heart to be recognized.
Ever since he walked into the town of peace, he had already made plans to find out the source of chaos.
The old priest no longer "looked" at him, silently opened the universal canon in his hand, and stroked the paper inside with his hand. "Get out of here," he said, "or you, too, will be tainted with Chaos, for you are the second cardinal I have warned, the last cardinal to question me...... He should have gone to meet the God of Light, who knows?"
"Teacher, I can be honest with you that all my purposes are for the future continent!"
Old Reverend Theon looked down at the book and did not react to his words.
The cardinal stood there in silence for a long time, and finally, he had no choice but to leave the wooden building.
After walking out of the wooden building, he suddenly thought of something.
"No, why is the blue hat that just walked out of the church so special!?"
He thought as he walked out of the church.
In fact, when he came to the town of peace, he was amazed by the sight here. Because he urged prophecy to observe the inhabitants of the peaceful town, he finally found that almost half of the people had a chaotic future!
After discovering this fact, he slowly formed a habit that every time he met a new face, he would urge prophecy to observe it. So, when a young man in a hat walks out of the church, he rightfully invokes prophecy to look at his future. Not surprisingly, he saw a chaotic vortex, and to his surprise, the chaotic power above the blue-hatted boy's head was exceptionally powerful.
At that time, I didn't have an idea to stay away, and I just hesitated for a while, but when I thought about it, I was directly shocked.
The Chaos Vortex above ordinary people's heads was only the size of a fist, and it was grayish-yellow. Why is the Chaos Vortex above that blue-hat guy the size of a washbasin!? and it seems to be black and white?!
At that time, because he was in a hurry to see Mr. Theon, he did not check the condition of the "blue hat" in detail, and at this time, he was entangled in the problem of the "blue hat".
This doubt only flashed in his mind for a moment, and he was immediately attracted by the cold-faced man in front of him. "Why are you holding me back?" he said to the gatekeeper. "Did you apologize to me?"
The next moment, the gatekeeper said something that he couldn't even think of when he died:
"You trespass on the church, I must punish you! You can use the trick again, I think I can crack it. ”
"Who do you think I am? Idiot who accompanies you? Don't you recognize who I am? I'm a cardinal! My authority is above all the priests. You want to ......" The cardinal wanted to say something, but he was directly grabbed by the arm of the gatekeeper and twisted away several steps.
At first, the cardinal was still thinking about the "blue hat" and did not realize what was happening. But when the pain in his arm reached his brain, it activated not only his clear consciousness, but also his anger by the way. "You rude fellow!" he scolded, "you dare to be rude to me?"
"I will throw you out of the church on the grounds that you have not obeyed the rules of the church! ”
"I'm a cardinal......" Before he could finish speaking, he was pushed to the ground.
Looking at the statue of Heralex standing next to him, and looking at the gatekeeper who walked back to the door, his thin and distorted face suddenly calmed down, and he stared at the back of the gatekeeper with cold eyes and gloomy eyes......
......
......
"It's a big problem there!" said Peake, pointing to the stairs in the living room of the main building.
When he had just returned to the lumber yard, he drove the big black feet with a tendency to estrus back to the donkey shed, and then went to the new bamboo building to check the details everywhere. He found that the renovated staircase had serious problems. "Grandfather is old, why do you still want to build the stairs so high?" said Peake to Ryder, "I have a bit of a hard time going up, you think everyone is as tall as you?"
Ryder's eyes flickered, and a hint of guilt suddenly appeared on his face. He touched his nose and said, "You're still careful, Peake, I'll tear it down and rebuild." ”
Before entering the bamboo building, Peake revisited the structure of the main building. He knew very well that the main building, which had been shaking in the wind and rain for fifty or sixty years, was seriously old, and he had heard his grandfather say that it was built when he was a child. The structure of the building on the first floor is fairly stable, but the attic on the second floor often leaks, and there is always a danger for the elderly to go up the stairs frequently. Looking sideways at Ryder, he suggested: "Don't tear it down, it's very troublesome, it may not be finished in two or three days to repair, let grandfather sleep in your first-floor room, you go to the second-floor attic to live." ”
"It's a good idea, I've long wanted to sleep with my grandfather, and I can stand by the window and watch the scenery every day, which is great, and this time I have a good reason to change rooms with my grandfather. Ryder clapped his hands and laughed, but he immediately realized that there was a problem. I saw that his smile slowly disappeared, and he blinked his eyes, looked at Peake with a wicked smile and said, "Do you mean to let grandfather sleep with those five little nightingales? ”
Peake, who walked to the side of the stairs to check the stability of the stairs, was stunned, took the blue hat off his head, and straightened the messy hair on the top of his head.
How did I forget about this...... There were five more girls in Ryder's room. Peake picked himself up and stepped on the planks on the stairs. After a few more thumps on top of it, and when he was sure everything was solid, he walked down the stairs.
"Why haven't they gone yet," he asked, "didn't they say they were going to go the other day?"
"The one called Mandala said you stole her things. Ryder scratched his head and said, "What did you steal from her? You can hurry up and tell them to go, Dolly is done with the past few days, and she said that she is coming to our house for a few days? If she sees a bunch of little nightingales in my house, then why don't you tear me down? Grandfather said that he would prepare for our wedding when he was healed, this kind of thing can't go wrong!"
Did you steal something from her?
Peake was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was Zhu Tian who took her a piece of Ecstasy incense.
A piece of Ecstasy incense is not a valuable thing, he didn't go just right, he needs more Ecstasy incense now.
Zhu Tian's approach was indeed too rude, and now that he has a net worth of millions of gold coins, he can use gold coins to buy all the ecstasy incense from them.
With that in mind, he walked towards Ryder's house......
