Chapter 227

Although he had a smile on his face, he looked dangerous.

Next was Webster, who ranked third. The old man had changed his usual serious and rigid look. His face was excited, as if he had drunk alcohol, and he looked proud.

Next was Ms. Barbara, who ranked fourth. She had a kind face and was a little old lady who was easy to talk to, just like her grandmother.

The fifth was Bai Tu, who was smiling and had a red nose. He looked like an oriental middle-aged man, looked a bit sloppy, and kept winking at Lin.

In other words, except for the chief and the last bishop who were away on business, all the other six platinum bishops gathered here.

By the way, according to the positions of Western sects such as the Catholic Church, the chief archbishop is actually the pope, but there are some changes in the other world.

Lin and He Guang had inquired that the chief archbishop Tiga and the last bishop Ye were away on business at this time and were not in the holy city.

Of these two, the former is upright and hates evil, just like Bao Longtu reborn in another world, and the latter is very aloof and arrogant, even more difficult to deal with than Webster. The atmosphere will definitely not be good when he is there.

The next two are Ms. Ansel, the leader of the Armed Knights of the General Church. She looks to be 28 or 29 years old and has a heroic appearance.

However, it seems that people in the church cannot judge their real age from their appearance, and age is a secret of women. God knows how old she is.

However, at first glance, this person is the kind of person who is loyal and trustworthy, and can be very reliable. He speaks very nicely. Although he is a rainbow fart, he is very serious and honest from the heart.

The last one is He Guang, who is also the most talented among the second-level bishops, and has the potential to be promoted to archbishop in the future.

Well, all those who can come are here, one by one, as if they had discussed it beforehand. As soon as the front corner came in, the back followed.

Several people seemed to be in a good mood, and they happily raised their tea cups and smiled at Lin.

Ophelia: "Your Highness is good-looking, and I didn't expect that he is so good at cooking. He is also so generous and lovable."

Webster: "It is our honor to taste the delicacies made by Your Highness. I have already felt the glory and blessing of the goddess."

Barbara: "Good child, you can still think of us old guys and make such a big table of dishes. You are really a kind and innocent child. I wish I could have such a granddaughter."

Bai Tu: "I came as soon as I heard that Your Highness invited me. Your Highness understands me. I love this yellow croaker the most. Hehe, can I drink?"

Ansel: "Lord Bai Tu, please pay attention to the occasion. As a clergyman, you should abstain from alcohol. In addition, thank you for your invitation. I am grateful."

He Guang: "Come on, Lord Lin, clink glasses together!"

How can these people be so shameless?

At the beginning, He Guang ate for free, Webster came in, and then Barbara came. Lin had to stay. What happened to the next few?

It's as if I prepared this table specifically for them to have dinner.

Please, if you don't come, our family of three will have a better time, right?

Ah, you ask who is the husband, wife and daughter in a family of three?

I understand.

If these people didn't speak so nicely, Lin would really overturn the table and drive them away.

He showed a formal smile, reluctantly picked up the teacup, and clinked it with everyone.

"Thank you for your kindness, but don't call me Your Highness, just call me Lin, the saint thing is just a misunderstanding."

Everyone just smiled at each other and didn't respond.

Maybe except Webster, who sincerely regarded Lin as a saint, others just called her that with a little teasing.

No one wanted to be as paranoid as Webster, and they could still tell whether it was a man or a woman.

"Why do you keep saying that! I'm starving. If you don't let me drink, at least let me eat the food. It's cold."

As Bai Tu started to work, the table was immediately filled with clinking glasses and chopsticks waving back and forth.

Fei Miao hurriedly reached for her favorite piece of beef stew with tendons, but before the chopsticks reached her, Bai Tu had already taken one of the pieces.

She was stunned and hurriedly prepared to tear another chicken leg, but He Guang first tore one for his teacher, and the other one had long disappeared.

Fei Miao was a little angry, her hair was about to explode, she pursed her lips, stared at a piece of braised bone and took it directly, but it was taken away by Ansel again.

She was so angry that her eyes turned into cat pupils.

She opened the inventory and was about to take out the sword, but fortunately there was an extra chicken leg in the bowl.

It turned out that Xiye had cut one off with chopsticks like a knife before, and she wanted to eat it herself, but seeing the hero was anxious, she took the initiative to send it to her bowl.

Fei Miao turned to look at Xi Ye, with gratitude and infinite affection flashing in her eyes, and she almost meowed in public.

At this moment, Xi Ye was like her dear...sister to her.

"Look at you, aren't you embarrassed?"

Lin said, adding a large piece of sauced bone and a chicken wing to her.

The hero was overjoyed, his anger dissipated, and he buried his head in eating happily.

Among these people, Bai Tu was the most useless, his eating manners were not flattering and he smacked his lips.

Ansel had a big appetite, ate steadily and quickly, and was the same type as Xi Ye.

He Guang was like the enthusiastic person who was busy at a gathering of classmates and friends, pouring tea for this and picking up dishes for that.

Webster was the most honest, Barbara and Ophelia had little appetite and put down their chopsticks not long after eating.

Several people ate and chatted at the table, and Lin also learned a lot of secrets of the church.

For example, the previous saint was injured too many times because she was overloaded with magic and lifting curses, so she quickly resigned and has been there for several years.

But the church has never chosen a suitable saint, and the most suitable one is Elise. If people don't want to, they can't force her.

It's just that the church cannot live without saints, so to the outside world it is still reasonable to say that saints are still responsible. In fact, people have long since recovered from their illness.

Now the church from top to bottom is eagerly anticipating this.

Then it was mentioned that the Chosen Saint has not appeared for six hundred years, and she did not elope with the demons as rumored by the outside world.

Rather, it is because of the dark history of the church. The current pope wields power for his own purposes. He wants to return to the heyday of thousands of years ago when religion was greater than imperial power. He accelerates expansion and monopolizes power, excludes dissidents, and causes panic among the people.

In the end, he even poured dirty water on the God-Chosen Saint, saying that she was in cahoots with the demons, in order to capture her.

On the Day of Judgment, the saint was tied and burned in front of the statue of the goddess. When the saint died tragically, the statue collapsed, crushing everyone present at the trial to death.

According to their level, they should be able to dodge when the statue falls to the ground.

According to what a later pope said, at that time, they, supporters of the Holy Virgin, were tied and kneeling in the distance, witnessing those people motionless and being beaten to death in fear.

The goddess never sets foot in the world, and rarely interferes in the affairs between humans and demons. Only this time the death of the saint made her extremely angry, and she was punished by the gods.

Almost all the upper echelons of the church died, and it declined sharply. It took decades for the church to regain its position at the center of the world.

But since then, there has been no more God-chosen saint, which shows that the goddess still regrets this, and that dark history has been sealed in the dust, and only high-level officials have always known about it.

The reaction to the holy book this time represented not only the birth of the saint, but also the goddess's complete forgiveness of her devout people and the return of blessings to everyone. It was of great significance, and Webster was so excited.

After that, some interesting things happened in the church. After tea, the guests put down their chopsticks one by one.

Only Fei Miao was left, looking at the mess and empty plates all over the table with wide eyes, lips curled downward, very unhappy.

Rin leaned into her ear and whispered: "How old are you? Be good and don't lose your temper in front of outsiders. I'll make a table for you alone later."

Emilia then turned from anger to happiness, nodded, and continued to be in a daze.

Xiye is a qualified listener and listened carefully to the chats of her seniors from beginning to end.

Even though he is stern and doesn't like to talk, he still makes these old men and women feel good about him.

Of course, their rarest cub is Rin.

This guy has been surrounded by seven aunts, eight aunts, and aunts and uncles in the square since he was a child. "Pretending" to be a good kid can make a difference, and his behavior towards Lin Wuyue and his classmates is completely different, and he looks like a schizophrenic.

Rin is very good at conversation, and she is also an excellent supporter. Every time she asks a question, she can answer the question, which makes the older generation happy with something to talk about.

No matter in the eyes of teachers or elders, Rin is a good boy from other people's families, but among his peers, he has a bad reputation as being hard to approach because of his arrogance and poisonous tongue.

However, the teachers all liked him, but they didn't believe him even if someone complained, which made some students reject him even more.

"Why."

After talking about the recent turnover rate of priests, Barbara sighed.

"The victim found last night has been identified. He is Hoffman. He was a nice young man."

Webster was stunned and frowned: "Is he the priest who once had three toes cut off in order to save a few children and was unable to save him in time and has been disabled since then?"

"Well, someone quickly identified him based on his foot bones."

Bai Tu sighed after hearing this: "Maybe he was targeted because of his lameness and difficulty in moving."

At the dinner table, the atmosphere suddenly became dull.

Led by Ophelia, several people closed their eyes and prayed silently.

Rin experienced too much last night. At the time, she only felt scary. Now that she had thought about it, she became extremely angry and put the cup down hard.

"This kind of quarrel with the same kind, madness, cruelty and killing of good beasts should be punished under the canonical law."

Bai Tu heard this and immediately said: "You are right, this kind of person is more hateful than the demons. After being caught, he must be tried with the harshest judgment and brought to the statue of the goddess to be burned at the stake to calm down the public anger."

Webster sneered: "He should be forced to have no way out now, and he will soon fall into a trap because of the Wendigo curse. Captain Ansel, you must protect the believers and tourists. Make sure they all hang their dream catchers.”

Ophelia added: "The merchants responsible for the production should also keep an eye on them and don't produce defective products to harm others, otherwise they will also be punished together."

The church saves everyone with kindness, but it is limited to believers and good people. The judgment is very severe for those who insult and blaspheme the goddess and those who are bad-natured scum.

When everyone was talking about business, there was no room for Rin to interrupt, so she could only listen silently.

After talking for a while and praising Rin, everyone planned to leave and deal with their own affairs.

Just as he left the gate, a knight captain came galloping towards him on horseback. After dismounting, he slid down and knelt on one knee in front of everyone.

"My lords, just now our brothers discovered a woman who was acting suspiciously. They were about to investigate but she ran away and we didn't catch up. Now we have surrounded the departure area where she disappeared."

Bai Tu asked curiously: "Female?"

Webster said calmly: "Maybe the other party is good at disguising."

Ophelia frowned slightly, asked the other party to stand up, and then asked hurriedly: "Did you see her face clearly?"

"She looks young, no more than 20 years old. I didn't see her face clearly. She has blonde hair. When I asked her to take off her hood, she turned around and ran away. Oh, and she ran with a sword."

When Lin heard this, he immediately thought of the unruly girl he met when he first arrived in Shengdao City.

"Uh, she shouldn't be a cannibal."

Ophelia suddenly put her hand on her forehead, looking helpless: "Is her sword a rapier inlaid with purple gems?"

The knight recalled and nodded: "Yes, there seems to be an inscription on the sword, but I didn't pay attention to it."

Barbara looked at Ophelia in surprise: "If Lady Ophelia knows her, she shouldn't be a suspect, so don't worry about her, right?"

Ophelia gritted her teeth: "No, catch her and bring her to me, don't hurt anyone."

The rest of the people looked thoughtful, and Bai Tu chased after her and asked questions.

Unfortunately, Ophelia was not in a good mood, frowning all the time, and ignored him.

Several people left, leaving only He Guang and Webster, walking behind.

Rin stopped Webster: "Can I go out for a walk? I'm almost bored here."

Webster suddenly became serious. Just as he was about to say something, he heard his student muttering a few words in his ear, hesitated and nodded.

"Your Highness is protected by the Sword Saint, so there is no problem. Just be more careful."

Chapter 11 This goddess is never partial, Dai Mao guides both hands

It was already the third night in a blink of an eye.

The street patrol defense was tighter, and the residents stayed at home and never went out.

At this time, a guard ship flying the flags of the Kingdom of Qiduo and the Kingdom of Jiolal slowly sailed into the port.

However, the port was surrounded by ships, and the warship could not enter.

Fortunately, the patrol boat on patrol outside found the guard ship. After approaching, a sailor took out a horn and shouted to the people on the boat.

"Is it Princess Iris of the Kingdom of Jiolal on your ship?"

Soon, the captain of the guard ship came forward, waved to the patrol boat, and took out a horn to explain his identity to the other party.

"Now is a special period, please take our ship to enter the city, Lady Iris."
