Lind crossed out a name, "Any more?"
"No. 14."
Grab, grab, grab. The wizard looked up. "Judges?" Only they would use numbers instead of names.
"He was killed by the heretic, and the weapons were not brought back."
waste. Lind thought. He could imagine the sullen glare of His Majesty the Pope. Lord "Tattoo" doesn't like bad news, which puts him at a disadvantage in front of Lord "Theologian". They had long disputed the ownership of the ascetics. The judge originally belonged to the theological sect, but the level of Her Majesty Rosantoslin was far inferior to her witchcraft research. The church's defeat this time would allow her to get back on track.
"To be honest, Bishop Aimok, I can't believe you would send two Judges to attack the Paperclip Mercenary Group. They are excellent demon hunters, don't you think?"
Bishop Aimok's head was covered with sweat, his face was earth-colored, and his head with strong bones looked like a rock covered with dewdrops in the early morning. He had to pull up his sleeves and wipe his face. "I'm sorry, sir." Seeing Linde's ugly face, he added his assurance: "I will not transfer the judge again, sir. Next time, I will succeed next time."
"If you don't mobilize the judges, how will you succeed?"
"There are still a few high-ranking cross knights left in the main church of Honey Territory..."
"They are honorary knights who defend the cathedral, not thugs you call upon! That's enough, Aimok." Lind didn't even bother to add the bishop, "Tell me, why didn't you send Nightingale?"
"Nightingale? Nightingale...Tedonaradu lost his hand as early as Danlaw, and he left the work to the judge."
"Perhaps I should change this Tedonaradu to take charge of the task. The reason is obvious. He has a lot more brains than you. Two judges, Aimok, and two high-level priests, demon hunters! Among them! One of them is a master of magic! How dare you let them take a bunch of cross knights who can't even do odd jobs to go against the tower messenger? Are you playing house?"
嘘戅戅. The features on Bishop Aimok's face were all squeezed together. "But, sir, I don't understand...?"
"Three to two, right? War mercenaries aren't farmers with pitchforks, are they? They're outnumbered! You let the enemy outnumber us on our territory? Damn it, idiot. Why? Won't you send more judges?" Or just leave it all to those demon hunters. This is foolproof. Linde has long wanted to do this. "Or are you saying you don't know how to count?"
The bishop murmured: "He... Sir, I mean, Tedonaradu... that nightingale leader always exaggerates the real situation. I thought..."
"Nonsense! If Nightingale doesn't leave room for the opponent's true level, they will be dead long ago!" Lind roared angrily. Bishop Shitou opposite was so frightened that he remained silent. He took a deep breath for a few seconds to calm down a little. "Bishop Aimok, you underestimated the enemy and caused the church to lose a judge. I should have thrown you into the sewer to preach to rats. But now, Aimok, for your contribution to the church over the years, I will give you Your last chance."
"Yes, sir. I promise..."
"Forget it, I don't want your worthless guarantee." Lind interrupted him, "Go to Lord Kilbewick, Aimok, and give him the order letter with the Pope's seal." Even so, his hands didn't move at all. "You can do it, can't you?"
Bishop Aimok sweated even more, as if there were sponges hidden in his hair. "Pope's seal? Order to the captain of the judge? But... sir, I...?"
"Sewer rats, Aimok. They're waiting for you."
The bishop shuddered.
When the trouble was finally resolved, Lind set aside the list of casualties. A cat howled outside the window, which was more disturbing than the sound of rain. Damp and cold. Honey Collar appears to be another Cavalier Bay. I'd rather stay in Danlaw and chase those damn dark wizards. At least the city defense team will not complain to Linde because of the fire.
Returning to Honeyland was his expected result, but the increasingly serious situation involved him in the church. Linde looked at the stone tower of Wizard's End through the glass. The Holy Scripture was your opportunity, but you let it slip away from your hands...
It's that kid's fault. Linde gritted his teeth. Ever since meeting the White Envoy and his apprentice in Eastman, the wizard has never had a happy ending. Lord Tower survived the flood in Six Fingers Castle and took away a holy book. Lind hated him for this. As for Uriel. Damn it. To be honest, he felt that this brat was even more difficult to deal with than his mentor. After all, the White Envoy didn't care about the Gaia Church, but the apprentice was a clergyman.
Now that Uriel has come to Moniantoros, God knows what he will do. Linde knew that he had to be involved in this matter, and it wouldn't be too bad if he had a chance to retrieve the holy book from the White Envoy. There is a ransom for mortal nobles, and it is the same in the mysterious realm.
He finally found the motivation to solve church-related tasks, but bad news kept coming. Why can I never find a trustworthy subordinate? Linde didn’t understand, why couldn’t I get what I wanted as long as I left things to others? It's time for this to end. I want to find reliable collaborators and will never look to inferior people again.

Of course, there is a chance that the Pope, who is deeply involved in the drama, will ask for the Holy Scripture from the tower... but Linde cannot guarantee that he will have a chance. The girl burned the holy book to get her profession. Will the school allow him to burn again?
The answer is obvious. The wizard will of course conduct experiments on it, including but not limited to burning, tearing, flooding, corrosion... and other means of destruction. Previously, the school only regarded the holy book as a relic of a certain law wizard, but now its status is no longer what it used to be. Most things without owners will end up like this.
That's not what we have to worry about, Linde thought. It's not time to divide the victory yet. Compared with Danlao, that damn apprentice is not easy to solve. I don’t know how he persuaded the Paperclip Mercenary Group. Maybe he has to blame his own people for this... Someone knocked on the door.
Your Excellency "Tattoo" will not condescend to see him. "who?"
"Unwelcome assassin. I'm sorry to come so casually, my lord, but there is no crack in your place that I can get through."
Linde was not interested in wasting time with the other party. "Fortunately, you didn't try to mess with my glass. Let's talk about it after we come in."
The self-proclaimed assassin got into the door and stood about ten steps away from the steps. At first glance, he looked like a knight of the cross, but then he gradually changed. By the time Lind closed the door, the guest had completely transformed into a dirty stranger. He was plain-looking, with empty hands. He was wearing a worn-out waistcoat and blue-gray trousers, and his leather shoes were stained with mud. He looked like a street vendor, with his yellow eyes wandering around as if he had evil intentions. grab, grab, grab
"Where did your clothes come from?" The wizard looked at the other person suspiciously. The scope of personality aspects does not include external accessories.
"My own, my lord. No one is wandering around the church naked at this moment. It will bring shame to the goddess, I know very well. So." He tugged at the loose sleeves under the waistcoat, leaving a fingerprint. "In front of you, my lord, I still show respect for my original appearance."
Linde snorted. "Respect? Then you should change it back. This is Gaia's sanctuary after all."
"Dressing is a trivial matter, but it's a pity that most people don't care about other things. If this continues, I'm afraid there will be more ungodly guys appearing in the sanctuary. I can guarantee, sir, none of them care about dress standards. "
Although Linde was about to ask him about this, the other party's attitude still disgusted him. Tedonaradu was a low-class man, and even if he wasn't, he was used to being in their company. For the sake of the Codex, I have to tolerate this guy. "You gave Bishop Aimok wrong information, Tedonaradu, and I need your explanation."
"Information may be true or false, my lord. Only the gods can avoid making any mistakes."
"Then except for the gods, no one in the world is suitable to be a nightingale. Tell me, why do you and your subordinates need to exist?"
"I'm afraid I have to wait for the gods to change jobs before I can answer your question." #103#46#99#111#109#32#21434#21437
Lind felt that this guy was much more difficult to deal with than Bishop Aimok. Maybe this is not an illusion. "The whereabouts of the Paperclip Mercenary Group have always been under your control, Tedonaradu, don't say it's not the case. How could they get in touch with the tower messenger?"
"Obviously, the problem lies with the other side." Leader Nightingale stopped chatting, "Jerland's law enforcement team followed the paperclip mercenaries for nearly half a month, during which I only transferred them to the Mint Land once. However, sir, this is not hindering his mission."
The wizard knows without guessing. "Is there any of your spies among the adventurers?"
"Our secret agent." Tedonaradu corrected, "An army of pagans has set foot in the sacred kingdom of the goddess. It would be my dereliction of duty to fail to pay attention to their movements at all times."
"What did the tower messenger say?"
"He is also a believer of the goddess." The leader of Nightingale smiled slyly.
"Then we still have to welcome him?"
"Of course not, my lord. Based on the numerous crimes he committed in Eastman, this clerical knight from Croita has already strayed from the right path. What kind of clergy would destroy a sanctuary and harm innocent priests? In Iraq When he arrived at the Silver Roof City of Shiman, he began a barbaric massacre. The Ascetic monk Azbizien was brutally murdered, and Father Andron was also murdered by him. When he arrived at Knight's Bay, he instigated his mentor to attack the lighthouse. The town church launched a dishonorable attack, and at that time we were originally part of a unified order front."巘戅Miaobifangmiao#戅
Lind stared at him. "is that so?"
"It's absolutely true, sir." Leader Nightingale raised his eyebrows. The wizard suddenly noticed the characteristics of this forgettable face. His eyebrows on both sides seemed a bit asymmetrical. "The White Night War failed to reach the interior, and our intelligence network was well preserved... Until the end of the war, the trainee messenger of the tower destroyed every intelligence station in the church from north to south. The church suffered heavy losses. Here we are. Now, this damned scourge has come to Moniantoros, from Mintland to Danlaw, and every village with a church is afraid. He does not deserve to be called a follower of the goddess, my lord, Uriel the Tower Messenger is a complete heretic. "
