Was he trying to piss me off? Uriel looked at Brother Azby's pupils, hoping to find expectation or anxiety in them. But without the parchment in hand, even he himself could not believe his judgment. Iconi is right, I still need more experience to mature my experience. "I have to believe it," he told the monk. "If you admit that she is in your hands, no matter how rude you say, I can only listen. This means that you don't have to lie to me. And if she dies... ..." He paused for a second, "I'm afraid I won't be alive either."
His answer may not be the one that satisfies the ascetic the most. Azbi looked at him for a long time: "You are very different from your mentor."
"I'm far behind him."
"Mystery? No, Bai Zhizhi became famous in the disaster of the undead two hundred years ago, and you are still young. I mean the style of conduct. Do you know? Most of the empty realms in the mysterious field were defeated by his men. These people They pondered the relative limitations of his profession, magic and mystery, hoping to discover his weaknesses. But when they finally came to a conclusion, nothing changed."
Uriel didn't understand: "He has no weaknesses?"
"Even the 'Victor' Veronka has weaknesses. Although the White Envoy is a legend in the Sky Realm, it is impossible to compare with the King of the Continent in the Battle of Dawn." Azbi denied, "The White Envoy What he is good at is using his strengths and avoiding weaknesses. His weaknesses will always exist, but people cannot be easily knocked down just because they have weaknesses. More people have used their crooked brains and want to use his position and interpersonal relationships as a breakthrough. Needless to say the former, There is a reason why Croita has stood in the clouds for three thousand years, and as for the latter, he has few friends, and the existence of his relatives and partners is still a mystery like his past."
"Mystery?" My past is probably also a mystery to people other than Joey.
"As yet," said the ascetic, "no more."
I am Joy's apprentice, and Uriel understood what this identity would bring him as early as Brumnot. The Qing Envoy had already taught him a lesson. "I may not know the details of my mentor as well as a true mystical apprentice." This was certainly true, but even if he did, he wouldn't share it with anyone. Even if it's a mantra potion, Uriel has a way to deal with it.
"It can be seen that his teachings to you are also different from ordinary mentors." Fortunately, Azbi did not force him to do anything. "If I must say it, your mentor is not the kind of person who is easy to get along with. Gaia Church also No intention of going against the Tower - Eastman belongs to the Tower after all, and I think you feel the same way."
"I can't influence him at all."
"The church did not have such extravagant hopes. We just want to keep things peaceful and not interfere with each other."
"Is this the reason why you mobilized your power to capture Roma?" Uriel couldn't help but say.
He tried to anger the monk in turn, although this didn't seem wise. Azby was not angry at all: "Eastman is not a training ground for a brat like her. I will protect her." He assured the apprentice, "If we find Miss Roma, we will let you see her." .”
See me, or lock her up too? Uriel still firmly believes that Roma is still alive. Although the water fairy seems to like her very much, the little lion is not the mortal he previously thought. When she climbs out of the river, Sauron will tell her what to do next. They'd better not catch her.
"You don't have to worry about her, Uriel, you should think about yourself now."
"I'm really thinking about these questions. If I plan to arrive at Knights Bay tonight, will you reimburse me for the boat ticket?"
"The port is currently closed and is busy with reconstruction work. Before I decide what to do with you, we can only waive your accommodation fee. The church must maintain its reputation among mortals, and our Nightingale exists for this purpose of."
"I originally thought that only the judicial body of the Holy Radiance Council might have similar functions." Lucia valued justice and fairness more, and her paladin could not tolerate the goddess's teachings being tarnished in the slightest. Fifteen years ago, these fanatics even carried out massacres in Whinneys. He didn't know when the Church of Gaia had become a stranger. The Cross Knights hadn't been able to do anything like massacre yet, but if the Church continued its current behavior, it might not be too late.
"Every faith cares about reputation. This cannot be understood by shallow believers who only ask for the names of gods and prayers at a certain time." Azbi said, "You could have become a Knight of the Cross or a Knight of the Cross. Excellent apprentices of the clergy give up all the honors they can get as Gaia believers and devote themselves to the most difficult and dirty profession, without getting any reward while they are alive. You must know the secret of the wordless tablet in the cemetery, Yuri Well, before the Fallen defiled the resting place, there were many people like Iconi who slept under the stone monument. Gaia's honor is this kind of thing, and it is worth every one of us to maintain it at any cost."
"Gaia makes no mistakes?" Uriel asked.
"Absolutely not. Only we mortals can be tempted to deviate from the right path. You should know very well that the church is a huge organization, and we cannot let unfavorable rumors blow out of the church door and become the basis for those pagans to criticize and slander the goddess. .”
"That's what I want to do too."
"I can trust you, son. But I must be responsible to the Church, just as your mentor traveled among the vassals. Responsibility is our code and cannot be placed under any personal emotions. Iaconi Fairwin I am fully aware of the great responsibility I have, so I brought you to me. So——" Brother Azby leaned forward slightly, "Can you give me some advice? How should I deal with you?"
"I swear to the fire..."
"The Fire Oath is not foolproof. Why didn't you choose that parchment? That is your mysterious item, right? It has strange mysterious properties and is extremely effective. It seems to be a feasible method. Fairwin hopes to modify you It's easy to remember, and you won't notice anything while you're dreaming."
Uriel broke out in a cold sweat. "Modify my memory?"
"A witchcraft that goes deep into the fire, accessing specific memory fragments in the mind, pruning, splicing, and even reconstruction - a task with a huge amount of work, difficulty and high failure rate, but it is worth using it on you . There are very few wizards who are good at this. They eliminate pain for others and retain lessons and good memories. I guess there is no one among the wizards who come to Eastman now who can realize memory reconstruction and is willing to help. . But I rejected him. This approach is very disrespectful and worse than forcing you to swear. I will not fool the White Envoy and the astrologer in the tower as fools."
"Gaia is above me." He couldn't help but feel happy. Once the church decides to check his memory, they probably won't be so entangled at the moment.
"More importantly, I have considered the worst-case scenario." Brother Azby continued, "Layers rarely have a strong sense of responsibility and honor for the church. In this case, it is difficult for them to submit to the church. They believe that people close to them keep secrets - now it seems that Miss Roma is the first to know, and to allow an apprentice like you to leave the City of Floating Clouds, your mentor must also know the inside story. Erasing your memory will only anger people. Tower of the Sky.”
This is what really keeps me alive until now, Uriel thought to himself. "I'm here for an internship this time," he admitted.
"The branches of Gaia Church don't communicate with each other. The branch in Floating Cloud City had another accident... I don't know where you learned about this damn scandal. Now that the matter is over, I have to do something else. Plan. Please forgive me, child, but your trust and my own emotions are not worth mentioning. What the church needs now is the attitude of Bai Zhizhi. Whether your promise to me is true or false has no weight."
"What if there is a great astrologer who knows the inside story?"
"Why would such a high-ranking astrologer care about the scandal at the Charity House?" the monk asked.
Uriel was speechless.
Brother Azby used magic to light the extinguished fireplace and drive away the morning chill. "You see, our honor is worth nothing to them, and the Croita in my eyes is different from what you imagine. The goddess teaches us to understand others, because in essence, people cannot be other people. "Complete empathy is probably classified as mysterious." He carefully observed the apprentice's expression, and then poured a cup of hot water. "You still need to rest."
"Thank you." Uriel almost forgot how thirsty he was. His voice remained hoarse and his stomach felt empty. Iaconi said he slept for a day and a half. "I can't promise you anything on his behalf." Although he was sure that Joey would never go around spreading the news about the charity home. "I lost touch with him after he left for San Carlos."
"But he will definitely take the initiative to contact you." Brother Azby said, "It will be a matter of time. Uriel, fortunately you are a person who is more inclined to speak than to use a sword when communicating, and the White Envoy is just right. on the contrary."
I gave Sauron to Roma. Unless the little lion is also captured by the Cross Knight, you cannot wait until that day. Uriel had no intention of telling Azbi this information, but did he really not know? "I think your understanding of him is biased. The steps to solve the problem were exactly what Bai Zhizhi taught me."
"That would be great. The misunderstanding will be resolved satisfactorily." The monk nodded. "Seeing young people like you fail to become our companions is my biggest regret in recent years. The church has lost a loyal and reliable knight... and the tower has gained an excellent successor to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Maybe this is Gaia’s will.”
No, it was Otto's guidance. "Thank you for your trust, Lord Azbi. I also believe that the church can handle the matter of the Charity House. If you find Roma, I will be happy to help comfort her."
