Chapter 121 The Duties of the Bishop

"Make me Bishop of Roseburg?"

When Annan heard the words, his eyes widened in surprise: "Are you an orthodox bishop?"

Although he did think about it, Bishop Darryl should give himself some benefits.

But he didn't expect that the bald fat man gave up his position directly...

Soon, Annan realized something.

He slowed down and asked softly, "What about you?"

"Of course I want to go back to the capital. Originally, I wasn't a native of Beihai. The climate here is too humid and cold for an old man like me."

Daryl shrugged, took out his pocket watch and checked the time. He raised his head again and looked at Annan with some eagerness: "How is it, Lord?

"Just take a name, don't really change your beliefs - Silver Sir does not force this kind of ritual, as long as it is good for the development of the church. And the beliefs of Silver Sir and Coldblooded Lady are not the same. Do not conflict."

"Ok……"

Annan pondered.

After thinking for a moment, he stretched and got up, put on his clothes, and put on his coat.

He pushed open the window of the room, and the cold air rushed in, and the air in the bedroom could wake up the brain.

Annan narrowed his eyes and took a few deep breaths of the cold wind.

He turned his head and looked again at Bishop Daryl, who was waiting for the answer.

There was no sleepiness in his eyes, and he became calm and indifferent again.

Annan pointed to the stool next to the tea table in the bedroom and motioned for Bishop Daryl to sit down.

"Please sit down... Your Excellency Bishop."

He said respectfully, then walked to the door: "I'll make you a cup of tea."

At this time, Annan did not choose a more intimate address, but took up a business-like attitude.

Afterwards, Annan temporarily left his bedroom.

He was walking on the road,

Secretly thinking.

Annan saw clearly.

Although it may be that most of the reasons for this invitation are because of the imprint of the Holy Light of Silver Sir.

——But the words of Bishop Darryl did hide the meaning of temptation.

His invitation is actually divided into two parts.

One is "to be named in the Church of Sir Silver", while the other is "to serve as a district bishop in the North Sea Territory".

That's it for the previous one.

But "Annan Winter" will not accept the latter one.

Because he is the only heir of Archduke Winter, the future Archduke.

It is impossible for him to hold such a high office in the church of a neighboring country—even an enemy country.

This must have made the Winters suspicious of Annan's decision. It will also become an excuse for others to attack Annan... It will even become the motive for the political behavior of the Grandmother's priests in the Principality of Winter who decided to leave the archduke camp and in turn began to weaken the authority of the archduke.

Of course there are benefits.

The biggest advantage is that he can get the strong support of the Silver Sir and the protection of the entire church.

No one dared to attack a bishop of a righteous god, let alone a district bishop who was half a level higher than the bishop.

After all, it is different from the nobles.

If an aristocrat was successfully assassinated, the other aristocrats may, after jointly issuing the wanted, turn around and start making up for the victim's family. After all, their interests far outweigh their responsibilities.

But the church is different.

All priests of the righteous gods have the common responsibility of purifying nightmares.

Any priest who dies outside the nightmare is a huge waste of resources.

Because not everyone has the gift of being a priest.

If someone kills a clergyman, it's the equivalent of other clergymen being suddenly given a short notice to work overtime: to complete the work of your hilarious colleague, and you can't get off work until you finish it.

No doubt this will attract the hatred of all priests.

——We are busy, what are you doing?

Therefore, even if they do not know each other, they are not even priests who believe in the same righteous god. But once they hear that someone in their own diocese has killed a priest of the righteous god, the bishop of this diocese will also try to find out the murderer, kill them directly or transfer them to the diocese of the incident.

The bishop's responsibilities are even heavier than the priests.

Their task is to regularly clean up the nightmares above the silver rank in the parish, to prevent ordinary people and innocent superhumans from straying into nightmares.

In other words, they are playing hard books.

Frozen water ports are a special case.

According to Salvatore, this nightmare was tried and failed forty-five years ago.

In the end, the bishop had to settle for the next best thing and blocked the "key". Therefore, only an ordinary priest from Louis was needed to guard.

It's a surprise to be able to purify, it doesn't matter if it can't be purified, anyway, I don't count on him.

It's a distorted nightmare after all.

Nightmares at this level are prone to life-threatening situations. Either it is eroded by the curse and becomes a monster that is neither human nor ghost, or it is extremely harshly bound and cursed to death.

Bishops are a real high-risk profession.

Naturally it will be respected by people.

Annan learned from Salvatore that 12 years ago, nobles in Noah Kingdom hired killers and murdered the bishop-because his plan to stockpile goods was deliberately sabotaged by the bishop and made him lose all his money. .

In the end, the killer was wanted by the whole country, and he was arrested and brought to justice within five days. Even nobles involved in murders were confiscated territories, stripped of titles, and exiled.

Even if bishops do have bad character or commit heinous laws, they are usually arrested after trial, sending them into "distorted" or even higher-level nightmares, constantly purifying them.

In this way, the last existence value is squeezed out.

- and kill them before they turn into monsters.

So murdering a bishop who is still healthy and sensible is a very big sin.

This is real "wasteful" behavior.

Because not all "keys" to nightmares are physical.

Distortion level and above nightmares, the key is usually something outlandish.

For example, "pronounce the word 'Bone Man'", or "open the door with a frozen fish over seven pounds," or "say twenty-three different things in one day. name" and other bizarre conditions.

The job of the bishop is to solve this nightmare.

Because if the key to the nightmare is released, there will be ordinary people trying to become superhumans, breaking into extremely difficult nightmares and dying tragically; or some people will simply use these strange conditions to carry out silent and deliberate murders.

Although at sunrise, the nightmare will be dispelled.

But not all those who enter the nightmare for the first time can survive until the sunrise...

And ordinary people are almost unaware of their nightmares. It's like really in a dream.

For them, this is a more real "death" nightmare.

And if there are ordinary people who really become superhumans... they will often get out of control, be cursed, or die in accidents, becoming a new nightmare.

——In this way, the number of nightmares has actually increased!

So, control the number of nightmares and keep cutting. It is a very important and long job.

As Salvatore said.

If you want to step on the path of transcendence, you must have the corresponding talent and determination.

The North Sea Territory is sparsely populated because of the cold weather. There are not many nightmares here, so the bishop is not too busy.

Just being a district bishop in Darryl is enough to suppress all high-level nightmares in the diocese without the assistance of other bishops.

on the other hand……

That is, if their bishop suddenly died, the entire North Sea Territory might turn into a mess.

So, as long as Annan becomes the bishop of the North Sea Territory.

Whether it is the enemy from Noah Kingdom or the hostility from Winter Principality, it will end here. The premise is that as long as Annan does not step down.

Then the conclusion is clear.

If Annan accepted this condition, it would mean that he exposed that he was not sent by the Principality of Winter.

——It is being hunted down by the Principality of Winter.
