"Bost Donald has met the priest. I have offended you just now. Please forgive me, priest!"
Donald bowed his head, walked to Nok in small steps, and bowed again.
Nok did not speak, but glanced around coldly. After realizing that everyone in the room was saluting him, he put on a fake smile.
"No courtesy, no courtesy. There is no offense. I am just a servant of the Holy Lord. The Holy Lord teaches us to treat the world with tolerance. Tolerance is a virtue. You think so, Mr. Donald Viscount."
Nok's words made Bost break into a cold sweat, but he also understood the meaning of Nok's words.
Obviously, the priest apologized for the offense he had just committed, but gave himself a warning.
As the eldest son of the family, he has the qualifications to inherit the title of earl, but the brothers behind him are not without this ambition.
Everyone wishes he had made a mistake!
It's okay for him to be arrogant towards the people on weekdays. After all, no one would criticize him harshly because the nobles beat a few untouchables to death.
But if he offended the largest power group in the mainland, even his father would not forgive him.
They would even cancel his right to inherit the title and promote his two idiot brothers.
Although Bost is a bit arrogant, he is not an idiot.
Arrogance is also a manifestation of nobles flaunting their privileges against common people.
He was just doing what all nobles were doing.
But assessing the situation is the basic quality that a qualified noble should have.
Although he was warned by Nok, Bost was not worried anymore.
"Thank you, Father."
Bost stood up, looked at the priest in front of him who was a little shorter than himself, and introduced himself respectfully: "I am Bost Donald, the eldest son of Count Cantis Donald, the lord of Seine City. I don't know who the priest is..."
Bost's words were unfinished, but Nok understood what he meant.
"I'm just a traveling priest. Viscount Donald can call me Father Ryan. This is my guardian knight Gareth."
"It turns out to be Father Ryan. I wonder if I have the honor to invite the priest to my home for a talk? I think my father would also feel honored if he knew about it."
Bost extended the invitation politely, but Nok did not answer immediately.
He just looked at this qualified noble young man with a smile, but he was analyzing in his heart whether the other party was testing or sincere.
However, Nok quickly realized that no matter whether the other party was sincere or fake, he could not accept the invitation at this time.
Although Knock used the gimmick of the traveling priest as a reason, if he entered the city, the city owner would invite the city's bishop to a banquet to entertain Knock.
When people in the know talk to each other and ask about his history and who performed the baptism ceremony for him to become a priest, he will be cheating.
Even if Father John's suicide note and letter were taken out at that time, they would be mistaken for being picked up and stolen alive.
When the fact of impersonating a priest is confirmed, Nok and the two will be wanted across the continent, and that means they are really dead.
Thinking about this, Nok smiled even brighter.
It wasn't until Donald was laughing so hard that he said, "No. Thank you, Viscount Donald, for the invitation. However, for the sake of spiritual practice, I don't want to be involved in the turmoil of the world and the luxury of life."
"When I succeed in my practice, I will definitely find an opportunity to visit the Lord City Lord and Mr. Viscount."
"However, I feel a little embarrassed to have rejected Mr. Viscount's kindness. Instead, these snow wolf skins were harvested by the master and servant during their travels, and they were given to Mr. Viscount."
"I plan to visit a friend with the fur of the ice-armored bear as a gift, so I cannot give it to Mr. Viscount. Please forgive me."
Nok politely offered a snow wolf skin as an apology gift, but Donald dared to pester him.
He quickly stretched his hand back, and the discerning servant quickly handed over the money bag.
Donald put the money bag into Nok's hand and said: "Wherever I can get you to spend money, Father, I will use this little respect to support the priest's practice. Please don't dislike it."
Nok did not give in, but took it naturally and handed the money bag to Leo behind him.
"In that case, you're welcome. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first, so as not to delay everyone's return home."
"Don't dare, I'm just delaying the priest's time. I respectfully see the priest off on his way."
After Nok and Donald said goodbye in a false and affectionate way, Nok took Leo and walked towards the direction of the village he had heard about.
Looking at the two people leaving Nok, Bost Donald finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Donald's guard captain came over and asked in a low voice: "Your Excellency, is there any fraud? These two people are a bit..."
"Stop talking! No matter who the other party is, at least I, Bobst Donald, cannot spread rumors about insulting the priest. Do you understand?"
"My subordinate understands."
"Take the snow wolf belt back and find someone to process it properly. If that person is fake, I will teach you a lesson. If he is real, haha, who wouldn't want one of the furs given by the priest as a gift? In case someone What about becoming a bishop?"
bishop! That's a big shot.
Didn’t you see that the city lord has to show respect to the bishop in the city?
The guard captain thought, and had no intention of tracking down Nok or the two.
Donald took away his subordinates and the snow wolf skin.
The city gate became lively again.
The scene at the city gate also became the topic of conversation for these people tonight.
Therefore, although it was delayed for a long time, no one complained.
In the evening, night falls.
Nok and Leo finally arrived at the village mentioned by the city guard.
Nok never imagined that the two distances mentioned by the city guard were actually not two miles!
But a full distance of almost five miles!
It took the two of them three hours to find the village in the dark in the snow.
I still suffered the loss of not asking questions!
If they hadn't seen the lights of the village, the two of them would have been wandering around in the snow for a long time!
When the two stood at the entrance of the village, they saw a group of men armed with weapons.
Hoes, shovels, forks, sticks, wooden guns, hammers.
What a grand welcome ceremony.
"Ahem, don't get me wrong, we are not bad people."
Because it was too cold, Nok not only put on a cloak, but also a fur coat.
Therefore, in the eyes of the villagers, there are two hidden gangsters with malicious intentions outside the village.
Of course, this was because the sky was dark and the ice-armored bear fur behind Leo blended into the snow.
Otherwise, the villagers may not have the courage to confront them.
An old man who looked like the village chief stood up and said in a bad tone: "Stranger! Leave quickly, you are not welcome here."
Nok opened his hood and smiled: "Old man, please don't be angry. We are really not bad people. We are here to visit Baron Vostas. Please inform us."
The village chief was stunned for a moment, then looked at Nok suspiciously: "What nonsense are you talking about? The Baron doesn't live in the village at all. You're looking in the wrong place!"
"What!" Nock said in surprise: "Where does Mr. Baron live? Is it too late for us to rush there now? After all, it's already dark, and we found it with great difficulty. If the journey is too far, we may not be able to persevere. .”
The village seemed not to want to get entangled, and immediately said: "Mr. Baron lives in Seine City. He is the knight of the city lord and needs to be on duty in the city. He will only occasionally come to inspect the territory during holidays or tax collection. Therefore, You go quickly!"
Knock naturally knew that the baron was not in the village, otherwise why would he bother to come here.
Nok gave full play to his performance: "No! In the city? Oh my God, did I ask for it wrong? I really can't walk. Old man, it's better to do this. Can we go to the village to find a hotel to rest for a while? Late? Don’t worry, we will pay.”
"No! You leave quickly! Otherwise we won't be polite!"
Before the village could speak, the strong man with a hammer walked forward, stood behind the fence at the entrance of the village, and shouted at Nok.
"Bold!" Leo strode forward and scolded the villagers: "How dare you offend Father Ryan! Do you want to be punished by the Holy Lord!"
"Father?" the big man asked in confusion.
"Who is the priest!" the village shouted in panic.
Leo pointed at Nok next to him: "Of course it's Father Ryan."
Nok cooperated and took off his cloak and coat, revealing the black priest's robe underneath.
“Oh my god, it’s really a priest!”
"Please forgive us for our ignorance, Father!"
Seeing Nok wearing a priest's robe and holding a Bible, the villagers finally panicked.
Led by the village chief, they knelt down behind the fence.
Nok's heart was twitching, thinking: "You should open the door and then kneel down! Don't you know I'm cold?"
But Nok still smiled and reassured everyone.
"Excuse me, get up quickly. It's cold on the ground! The Holy Lord teaches us that we can correct our mistakes if we recognize them. It's an act of kindness."
"Thank you, Father!"
The villagers thanked him in unison and stood up from the ground.
"I don't know, can you let us in now? It's really cold outside."
Nok asked in a slightly embarrassed tone, which frightened the village.
"Quick, quick! Open the door! Ask the priest to come in."
"Alos, go and ask Makina from the tavern to clean up two rooms for the distinguished priest. Remember to make the bed with the best quilt!"
"Faith, go and notify my family quickly and ask them to bring out the best food and deliver it to the tavern. I want to entertain the priest."
The village's face completely changed, and it kept ordering the villagers.
The ignorant villagers did not consider whether Nok might be a fake.
As stated before, impersonating a clergyman is a capital offense.
Except for thieves, no one would pay attention to such a backward village.
The devil will be interested in the village, but the devil cannot touch the Bible!
The villagers are illiterate and cannot read the Bible.
But they pray regularly and go to the city to worship on weekends.
Therefore, even if they are illiterate, they know what the Bible looks like.
In this way, Nok and Leo successfully sneaked into the village.
