Chapter 838 - The Lost Seraph
There was nothing missing, which meant that what I saw today was the fourteenth Longinus. Someone made contact from an alien plane and got a Longinus.
David Crodor's heart was filled with turmoil.
I almost committed a terrible crime, but it also proved that the Chinese was definitely extraordinary, at least not like an ordinary person.
A deliberate concealment and a misunderstanding brought even the church into the ditch.
Poor old Dupont is still lying in the hospital under 24-hour monitoring. His body is covered with electrodes and he is still in a coma.
And his confidant Clark was seriously injured and never woke up. He had no idea that one of the important items they exchanged had disappeared.
Not long after, several more calls came.
Father Will from Las Vegas and several high-level officials from North American dioceses are rushing to Los Angeles, asking David Crodor to entertain the Chinese.
This instruction confirmed David Crodor's guess that maybe this dragon knight Mo Lin was really a big shot. He was quickly supported until his feet felt like hot wheels, and he turned around to chase Lin Mo and Qi Fei. With unexpected enthusiasm, he tried to arrange Lin Mo to one of the best high-end hotels in Los Angeles, and said that during his stay in Los Angeles, all Lin Mo's expenses would be borne by the church.
"David, what's going on? Didn't you apologize?"
Qi Fei and Lin Mo couldn't understand David Crodor's unreasonable enthusiasm. Could it be that he hadn't been beaten enough and wanted to be beaten?
"No, no, Miss Qi Fei and Mr. Morin, please don't get me wrong. I truthfully reported what happened during the day to the North American Diocese and the Holy See Headquarters. They reprimanded me severely and not only asked me to apologize, but also I’ll treat you well, several senior church officials from North American dioceses are rushing over. I want to pay a visit to Mr. Morin! To express the church’s apology!”
As David Crodor spoke, he was crying in his heart. The knight's virtue of honesty, he didn't expect that one day he would throw his own integrity all over the floor with his own hands.
"Huh? Wooden wood. Don't you see that you are very famous? You can enjoy full board and lodging, and even people from the church come to visit you. Are you the reincarnation or incarnation of an angel or even a god?"
Qi Fei was puzzled that Lin Mo actually had contact with the church. She didn't know that she was also involved in this "contact". It happened to be an indissoluble bond with a small church that she passed by on the way to escape.
Even Lin Mo didn't know about this little accident.
Light microscopy was not enabled to assist in expanding the field of view. The dragon knight without an extra eye is not much different from ordinary people.
"How is that possible? It's okay. I've never known any religious people. I only believe in Marxism-Leninism! Mr. Crodor, it's not necessary. I have to catch a flight back to China! Taking off at night can save me jet lag."
If someone from the Chinese intelligence department hears Lin Mo's words, they will be moved to tears. Wealth cannot be promiscuous. Indomitable and unyielding, what a good comrade!
If you show your courtesy for nothing, you are either committing adultery or stealing!
Although Paladin David Crodor looked sincere. But Lin Mo didn't believe that such a huge "visit" was just to apologize.
What's more, he didn't suffer any loss. On the contrary, the paladin and the two bodyguards from the church were in trouble. They had just beaten the younger one, so why did the older one come to the rescue?
Without ruling out any conspiracy, Lin Mo immediately became vigilant and directly rejected David Crodor's hospitality.
"Mr. Morin" David Crodor wanted to continue working hard, but when he saw that the other party's face darkened again, he immediately smiled bitterly and stopped.
"Needless to say, I don't want to see anyone from the church either. I have to go to the airport now. The rest is none of my business."
The Dragon Knight is a strategic armed force belonging to the country and has never belonged to a religion, whether it is the Slan Empire or this world.
Therefore, even if the Divine Court enjoys the tribute of the world, there is no way to win over the dragon knight. Lin Mo's reaction was beyond David Crodor's expectation, and the other party did not appreciate it at all.
It's all his fault that Bai Qiu is too impulsive. It offends people so much.
David Crodor felt regretful for a while. He could only watch Lin Mo and Qi Fei call a taxi and leave, and quickly gave away the bad news.
Even though Lin Mo just dropped by to see him in Los Angeles, Qi Fei was already very satisfied.
After bidding farewell to Lin Mo with a kiss that was somewhat resentful, Qi Fei watched Lin Mo enter the security check area and could only look forward to their next reunion.
Earn more money, buy this man a plane, and let him fly freely. No matter where he flies, he will always return to his own airport.
The Longinus spear, which was inadvertently forgotten by many forces, was heavily insured and escorted to the cargo hold of the plane by a dedicated person, and left the United States with the plane.
By the time several important church figures from North American dioceses chased him to Los Angeles International Airport, unfortunately, the Boeing 773 flight to Shanghai Pudong International Airport in China had already taken off.
"David Crodor, you messed up this matter. Knight Hillen will take over your job in a week. You can go back to the church to collect the punishment yourself. I hope you can reflect on this in the future. Do you have any opinions on how to deal with it?”
Father Will, who once had a relationship with Lin Mo and was the link between Qi Fei and the church, was acting completely unlike an ordinary priest at this moment. His old body stood straight and he announced calmly. Penalty ruling.
"I have no objections and am willing to accept the punishment and pray for the Lord's forgiveness. Thank you, Archbishop Will!"
Holy Knight David Crodor lowered his head and half-knelt in front of Bishop Will. He was convinced of the punishment and had no complaints.
Presumably, when he returned to the church, what awaited him was only rough bread, salt and clean water for a long time, and he was far away from the ascetic practice in the big city.
"Archbishop Will! We are late! Is what David said true? I still doubt it, but I am not doubting you, my Lord Archbishop."
A priest wearing a black cassock looked at the Los Angeles International Airport, which had been shrouded in brilliant lights, and let out a long sigh.
"Father Allen, David is an honest child, and his two bodyguards will not lie. I think you should have seen the surveillance video clips from the Internet. Can ordinary humans do this? Even if they have been specialized since childhood, It’s not easy to achieve such results casually through training. This is just a small skill used by the Lord in the mortal world. It’s really a pity this time, it was a step too late.”
Father Will, who had been promoted to archbishop, had a face full of regret like everyone else. They had missed a very important person to the church.
Even within the church, only a few people know about the arrival of Seraph, and the discovery of the fourteenth Longinus this afternoon proves this point.
In the highly confidential information sealed in the church, the true identity of Longinus is not the weapon that killed Jesus, but one of the witnesses of the separation of God and the devil. In the legend, there is not only one , not just a dozen, but composed of a real Longinus main gun and one hundred and eight sub-guns.
It's a pity that the influence of the Holy See and the Diocese is not enough to make the departed passenger plane fly back. Otherwise, they will make sure that the passenger plane returns at all costs, but the series of consequences it will cause are unpredictable.
Father Allen continued to suggest: "Archbishop Will, we can try to entrust people from the Chinese diocese to help us investigate. After all, that is their home stadium."
"Chinese Diocese? No, no, that is only a Chinese Diocese in name, but in fact it does not belong to our Holy See. Their 'Chinese Holy See' is the government, and even if they are willing to help, I am afraid they are not able to help, let alone them. He has no knight of his own."
Will shook his head. On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, it was a completely different country. The influence of their church was almost negligible, and sometimes it was very difficult to deal with them.
One of the church personnel who came together this time, Bishop Thomas, said: "Send someone secretly to investigate! Knight Jones of the Holy Knights is an expert in this field. He was originally employed by the British MI6 to investigate and collect intelligence. Very good at it.”
The priests and bishops looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Professional matters should be handled by professionals.
In the last investigation, due to the simultaneous interference of the Chinese and American governments, the people of the Church found nothing. However, this time it was a personal business trip. It should not be so sealed by the two governments, so we should be able to find out something.
"Well, inform Knight Jones and let him lead the team to China. It is best to divide it into two teams, one light and one dark. Be careful not to arouse the resentment of the Chinese. That young man may be a soldier. Whether it is to offend the government or the military, Fang means that the gain outweighs the loss. If you can contact him, you must be careful to make friends and don't act too hastily. As long as he has a good impression of our church, it is half the battle. Don't be anxious. He is very young and we have plenty of time. We can wait. Starting from now on, after he retires, we must find a way to make him a knight of our church. I am looking forward to this day in my lifetime. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and maybe the glory of the Lord will truly shine. Amen to every inch of this star.”
Archbishop Will closed his eyes slightly. The three pairs of huge light wings he witnessed that day, Lord! Are you sending your Seraph to the mortal world?
We will definitely let the confused Seraph return to the embrace of the Lord, for sure!
"Amen!" All the bishops and priests made the sign of the cross on their chests and kissed the silver cross icon.
