Chapter 1672 Bishop Will
In the magnificent church, several priest apprentices were chatting eagerly.
"I heard that Bishop Will will mobilize the city before the battle, pray to God for the warriors participating in the jihad, gain the blessing of divine power, and defeat all evil heretics." One of the priest apprentices said loudly, his words brimming with With joy and longing.
"That's right, that's right! Will is the youngest bishop. He devoted himself to spreading the gospel of God and made great achievements, and was rewarded by God for it. We must do the same to him." Another pastor added the apprentice.
"I really want to participate in this jihad and let God see my pious and heroic side, just like Bishop Will." The petite apprentice said with emotion.
Beside these apprentices, a tall and thin man quietly listened to their words, patted one of the apprentices on the shoulder, and said:
"Excuse me, I'm here to find Bishop Will, where is he now?"
The man was dressed in ordinary clothes, he didn't look any different from ordinary people, and he didn't have any features worth remembering on his body, only his eyes were sharp enough to make the nearby priests a little uncomfortable.
"Bishop Will is not something ordinary people can see. Have you made an appointment with the church in advance?" The apprentice pastor who was stopped by the man frowned and asked.
"No, but you can tell him that I am a friend of Samson, and I think the Church of Will would be happy to see me," the man said.
Several pastor apprentices looked at each other with puzzled expressions. They didn't know the identity of the man, but hearing what he said, it was obvious that he had another background, maybe he was an old friend of Bishop Will.
"Harry, go and report to Bishop Will." The gazes of several priest apprentices all fell on the short apprentice.
The apprentice pastor named Harry didn't dare to neglect, he immediately took action and ran towards the inside of the church.
Not long after, Harry ran out again and said to the man, "Bishop Will wants to see you."
Hearing what he said, the man showed an inexplicable smile and said, "Great, take me to see him."
"You must be Bishop Will's friend! Please let me guide you."
"No, he can't, I'm the best person to lead the way."
After learning that Bishop Will wanted to see this man, the attitude of the priest apprentices nearby changed instantly.
They all scrambled to ask to lead the way for the man.
The man curled his lips, casually pointed to an apprentice in front of him, and said, "Please lead me the way."
The selected apprentice showed a surprised expression, and he was exactly Harry who had reported to him at the beginning.
Under the envious or disbelieving eyes of other apprentice priests, Harry led the man into the church.
"What kind of person do you think Bishop Will is?" During the march, the man asked proactively.
"He is a man of noble conduct and recognized by God. He is committed to spreading the glory of God. Many lost people return to the embrace of God because of his guidance. Without him, the world would be much more a lot of suffering."
When Bishop Will was mentioned, Harry's words became more frequent, and his eyes showed more admiration.
And the man's face is calm, just from his face, it is completely impossible to see what he is thinking.
"Why did you come to see Bishop Will? Did you encounter painful things and want to confess to him? If that's the case, then you have found the right person. Many people who confess to Bishop Will are from the inside. Outwardly, I have a new look and gain the strength to overcome difficulties.”
The man nodded: "That's right."
Hearing what he said, Harry encouraged: "I believe you will be able to overcome the difficulties you encounter."
Soon, led by the man, they came to a room on the second floor of the church.
"Bishop Will is inside, waiting for you, so I won't go in."
The man nodded, then entered the room, and immediately saw a person in a white robe with his back turned to him.
The man turned around, all kinds of golden medals shone in front of the collar of the white robe, and the exquisite pendant hanging on his waist also made a slight sound due to the collision.
Looking at Bishop Will in the room, the man seemed to ask with some doubts: "Have I met you before?"
"Of course. According to Harry, you are Samson's friend, so you must have met me." Bishop Will said loudly, "Unfortunately, I didn't leave a deep impression on you. But I believe that after this time, you will definitely remember me firmly."
"You sound very confident."
Bishop Will smiled, and then said: "I heard from those priests that they mentioned the matter of Samson. You came to me, probably because of this matter..."
Speaking of this, Will's smile subsided: "Those hateful heretics, they actually let Samson fall... I have spent a lot of effort to make him prove his loyalty to God..."
Noticing the man not far away, his face was replaced with that very friendly smile: "Sorry, let you see a joke. I don't know why you came, what's your name?"
"You can call me Elote." The man replied, "Before the fall, Samson spoke highly of you, saying that you are expected to become a priest of the Holy See, or even a true apostle."
"Really? I think his words are exaggerated." Having said that, Bishop Will smiled even wider, "Have you encountered any difficulties? I believe God will help you."
"I want to know, can pure piety be rewarded by God? If a person does nothing but only be devout, will God bless him?"
The man's question caused the smile on Will's face to stagnate. This is not a question that can be answered so easily, and it even involves differences in doctrine within the Holy See. Will hadn't thought about this kind of question.
Complaining a few words in his heart, Will originally thought that the man just came here for some simple troubles, but unexpectedly he asked such a question. Even so, Will responded quickly and replied:
"Piety is important, but our behavior also reflects whether we are pious. Some people say they are pious to God, but their actual behavior is not like that at all. God will not forgive such behavior."
"How do you judge whether a person is really as devout as he appears? Or as long as he is devout enough, even if his heart is full of evil thoughts, he is still devout?" the man asked.
Bishop Will fell silent for a while before replying: "We have no way to judge this kind of thing...but the angels who are close to God, as well as those apostles, must have a way to judge."
