"What you call action is to sell the captured prisoners?" The goblin representing the pope's crown asked in the secret room of the cathedral outside Longya City.
"No!" said Archbishop Dorzi Kaler outside the stone gate, with sweat on his face. "That's just bait."
"Where's the bait? Where's the fish?" The Pope's words were full of jokes. At this moment, Lant was in the stone room as the fish on the chopping board. As long as he didn't say anything, Dalzi would be able to see him when he walked in. When the time comes, Chong Mian The charges against him were much greater than colluding with heretics, but at this moment, the Pope was acting like a monkey, making fun of his subordinates.
"Priest Helf is searching. I will report to you as soon as there are results." The temple priest is trying his best to cover up his mistake.
"He's a landlocked guy and doesn't know much about fishing."
"You?" Dorzi was a little surprised, "Have you predicted it?"
At this time, Lant even felt that one of the Pope's countless eyes glanced at him. He was like a child who had played outside all afternoon and went home to hide behind his grandfather to prevent being criticized by his parents.
"Does this still need to be predicted? When you go fishing, you will put more than a dozen baits on one hook?"
"This..." Dorzi didn't know what to say, "Then I'll take a look first." After that, he left carefully.
Rant clearly felt that the temple priest (magister level) Dorzi Kallus cautiously backed away. In his eyes was only the awe of his subordinates for his superiors.
Really the Pope? Why is it that this pope has a kingdom of God, but he has no deterrent to the priests and priests below? Lant was quite doubtful.
"What they believe in is not me, but their gods." A piece of information suddenly came to his mind. "Each of them has their own righteous god, and I am the chief priest of all gods. I am not the sum total of gods. I just collect the prayers and devotion of the believers to God, and pass these on to the gods. Besides, their behavior today is to let you leave more priest positions for their dragon church. Don’t worry, Temple Alliance. There is a similar plan waiting for you in the Holy City."
"I'm really flattered," Lant looked at the divine body beneath his crown in the kingdom of God. "Wait a minute, can you hear me?"
"Yes, since you can get what I know here, I can also get what you want."
"Sounds really fair." At this moment, Lant thought of the magic goblin in the room where he was, and saw the pope in front of him, and he realized, "Could there be such a magic goblin in every church? Leading to your kingdom of God, right?”
"Yes, you are very smart"
"But wait a minute, since everyone's beliefs on the Galloping Horse Plains can also be gathered here, why can't the barbarian priests and Kay get a response from the gods?" Rant was a little confused. He originally thought that the signal on the plains was not very good. , but now he discovered that those beliefs can be received here.
"Recall the prayer you saw just now, was it either a powerful demon possessor, or a concentrated prayer of many demon possessors? The interference on the Galloping Horse Plains had a great impact, especially the voice of the demon-free ones was almost Completely concealed, while a single demon-wisher prays once or twice, it is difficult for the gods to notice.”
"Then we have to build a temple with that kind of white goblin on the Galloping Horse Plains?"
"You can also stay in the Temple Alliance, and I will share with you all the faith information on the Galloping Horse Plains. Maybe your head can bear it."
"Forget it, I don't think I can do God's work." Lant shook his head, rejecting His Majesty's good intentions.
"I think your spiritual ability is very strong. Okay, Dalzi has left. You can go back too. The goddess of the night is about to start mass, and I am still busy." As the Pope's voice fell, Lant I felt like I was being pulled away from the Kingdom of God, and when I opened my eyes again, I saw the secret room outside Longya City.
"The place you are in is the underground secret passage of the church outside the city. Change the direction and walk straight out. Now all the demon-lovers in the church are looking for you. They will not guess that you are in the church." Although. Lant left the chamber, but the Pope's voice still echoed in his mind.
"But, why do you want to help me?" Lant said somewhat differently, "Aren't they your subordinates?"
"They are just another group of priests. I am just the highest priest. We all serve the gods. They are not my subordinates, and I am not their lord." There was some helplessness in the pope's voice.
"Then you don't want the white flame fairy in my hand?"
"You can keep it for later use. Over the past 200 years since I became Pope, the number of believers has increased more than tenfold. If I hadn't had time to hold a full year's meeting of the College of Cardinals, I would have revoked the edict of that year."
After confirming that the Pope was no longer affecting him, Lant also secretly lamented that if it were left to him, he wouldn't be able to bear it. This is just the job of an operator, and there aren't many believers of the Pope himself.
With His Majesty personally releasing the water, the rest was not too difficult. Lant successfully left the church with the eggshell that sealed the magic goblin, and then went directly to Tierney's house. The reason was that he bought too many magic goblins. I want to store it here.
"Can you meet this kind of goblin?" Riel, the great arbor goblin, noticed the abnormality in the eggshell of the white flame goblin at a glance. "Aren't these kinds of goblins strictly hidden by the temple alliance? How could you get there?" In your hand?"
"I just find it strange that the people of the Temple Alliance actually put the pagan priests they captured on the black market."
"Hey, what's this? Isn't this just to trick you?" The old boss next to him, Corbin Joyason, knew it after listening to it. "Don't worry, as long as you don't get the stolen goods and you are not detained on the spot. If you enter the black market, the Temple Alliance can't do anything to you."
"Lant, call Dugan and your knights over here," Corbin said with a smirk. "Tierney, call all your uncles and uncles. Our patrol team in Longtai Mountain heard that If you find a heretic, you need to go and provide support as soon as possible. Otherwise, if Lant doesn’t show up all night, they should suspect that you are also in the night market.”
So half an hour later, the court earl and silver knight Corbin Gioson took a dozen of his own knights; the court earl and senior knight Lant, who was about to be crowned, took twenty knights and cavalry to the foot of the mountain. When they came to support Dalzi Kallus, the bishop and temple priest of the outer city of Dragon Tooth City, who was struggling to find Lant, and Helf, the bishop and high priest of the outer city church, the two bishops' faces were almost crooked with anger.
"Viscount Lant, when we were about to enter the black market, we were blocked by your knights. At that time, Knight Dugan said that he was following your orders, but he didn't know where you were at that time?" Herv turned pale with anger. of questioning rand.
"Bishop Herv" Corbin spoke first before Lant could open his mouth, "Lant and I have just come down the mountain. How did I hear that the heretics you arrested years ago ended up in the black market somehow? ?Did slave traders break into the church and take them away, or was someone planning to use the pagans as slaves to enrich themselves? "
Corbin is worthy of being a count-level veteran, and he directly caught Helf's key mistake, "Bishop Dolce, if you ask me, you might as well leave the search work outside the city to us, the church still has to investigate the internal problems. ." After saying that, he led the knights away leisurely, claiming to be searching the entire outer city.
