Taking a quick glance at Warner, and taking a step back, Egeraz approached An Fei and said, "Sir, Pope William may have felt that he didn't have much time, so he used this method to identify Bishop Bergkamp's successor. Based on his identity, Bishop Salmado should be Bergkamp's competitor. He led his people to attack Bergkamp... nothing surprising.
"Would believers of the God of Light do such dirty and shameless things?" An Fei smiled sarcastically.
"That's not the case..." Warner defended carefully.
"Then what do you think happened?"
"Lord Bergkamp said that Salmado has fallen and is willing to become the lackey of the Necromancer."
"I can understand that if Salmado succeeded in getting the Scroll of Redemption, he would also say that Bergkamp has fallen."
"I...I mean what I said."
"Oh?" An Fei thought for a moment and opened the cage door: "You can come out now."
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir..." Warner's face showed joy, he sat up and rubbed outwards little by little.
The poor zombie has been imprisoned for a long time and has never eaten. He thought that the guy in front of him was bringing food. Who would have thought that now he is watching the other person leave bit by bit, and the zombie's eyes show strong attachment. With such a look, it crept over quietly and tentatively grabbed the clothes behind Warner's back. It could be seen that its intelligence was always evolving, and at least it could use reason to control its body like a truly intelligent creature. .
Warner rubbed it for a few times and suddenly found that he couldn't move no matter how hard he tried. He couldn't help but look back, and when he saw the face that was so close and exuding a fishy smell, he immediately screamed and started beating like crazy. Unfortunately, he only used his hips and feet as fulcrums, and his strength was pitifully small. , I can’t make any money no matter what.
"Let go!" An Fei shouted.
The zombie hesitated, then reluctantly let go of his hand, and then retreated to the corner. It curled up into a ball and let out a low whimper. It seemed that it was very sad...
Someone was crying outside, and it was Warner who was crying with joy. He struggled to stand up, nodding and bowing to the people around him like a chicken pecking at rice. He kept making unclear words in his mouth, and he was so excited that his tongue was curling up. .
"Ozguch, let him go." An Fei closed the cage door casually. He turned around and motioned for the dwarf to come over and lock the cage door.
Ozgucci came over, perhaps because he was ashamed of having knelt down to such a person just now. Ozguch's actions seemed very rough, and he deliberately tortured Warner for a while before untying all the ropes.
"Aren't you afraid of zombies? Why are you so afraid now?" An Fei asked calmly.
"That's because..." Warner's eyes fell on Susanna's hand, and the scroll of salvation was in Susanna's hand.
"Is it because there is a scroll of redemption?"
"Yes, my lord."
"Why do those zombies always follow you?"
"No one wants to become a zombie. Even if they have been dead for a long time, they still long to be redeemed." Warner laughed and moved his wrist: "Sir, this is what Mr. Bergkamp told me."
"It seems... the Scroll of Redemption is really a good thing." An Fei said with a smile. He thought of the mousetrap. In comparison, the Scroll of Redemption has a better booby-trapping ability. The former can only kill one, but the latter can kill countless.
"Sir, the Scroll of Salvation can only deal with undead creatures. It is still not as powerful as the Scroll of Doom." Aijeraz said softly.
"Doomsday Scroll?"
"I don't know the specifics, but according to legend, the Doomsday Scroll can instantly activate the light-based forbidden spell. Destroy all life within the range, including plants."
"Warner, have you seen the Doomsday Scroll?"
"No, sir." Warner shook his head hurriedly. He was so frightened that he would never dare to lie again.
"Bergkamp is just a bishop?" An Fei changed the topic.
"Yes...yes." Warner was stunned. He was a little surprised. Aren't the adults in front of him friends with Mr. Bergkamp? Why would you ask him this kind of question
"I don't understand. If Pope William wants to choose his successor, he should choose one of the high priests. How come Bergkamp was chosen?"
"Well...I can guess some reasons." Alice said with a smile.
"What do you think."
"Those in high positions in the Holy See, including the high priest, are all human beings, and naturally they compete for power. As far as I know, they are divided into two factions, fighting each other openly and secretly. The contradiction between the two factions has existed for a long time, and can even Dating back to the time when the first Pope, Holy Spirit Robin, was born, the hatred had accumulated too much and was difficult to resolve." Alice's smile was full of playfulness: "Pope William's arrangement was painstaking, regardless of which faction he came from. Whoever he chooses as his successor will only intensify conflicts. He doesn't want a tragedy to happen in the current situation of the enemy, so he chose Bergkamp. I guess... Bergkamp should be a centrist, which is why he is easily attacked. The reason is that if he is one of those two factions, he will definitely be protected by a large number of priests and light knights. How can this be the case
Being killed. "
An Fei's eyes fell on Warner, and Warner said excitedly: "You...you guessed so accurately..."
"Which faction does Salmado belong to?"
"Salmado is a disciple of the high priest Seramberg." Nanna said whatever he knew.
"Slamberg? You just said that Salmado was in collusion with the Necromancer. Could it be that Silamberg..."
"That's impossible." Alice said: "If you want to become a high priest, you must first have fanatical beliefs. It is absolutely impossible for Silanberg and his companions to cooperate with the necromancer. As for that Sarmado...if he really If he has any dealings with the Necromancer, it is his own decision to have no relations with other people."
"What a mess..." An Fei frowned, grabbed the Scroll of Salvation from Susanna, and handed it to Warner: "What's yours, I'll give it back to you." The Scroll of Salvation is indeed a good thing, but it's a pity that he can't use it, at least He couldn't use it until he understood what changes the seeds of light would cause. But just now he quietly let Susanna, Ozgucci and others try it. Susanna could barely open the Scroll of Salvation because she had absorbed the power of angels, and others There is no way at all. It seems that Warner did not lie before. Not everyone can open the Scroll of Salvation, unless they have the blessing of God.
"This...this is your sacred object..." Warner said with self-awareness.
"Go on." An Fei said impatiently.
"I..." Warner carefully observed An Fei's expression, trying to discern whether An Fei was testing him or whether he really planned to return the Scroll of Salvation to him. Maybe he had often speculated on Bergkamp's mind like this before, but he wanted to figure it out. An Fei's idea was undoubtedly a fantasy. After observing for a long time, Warner's hand just didn't dare to stretch out, even though he wanted to.
An Fei raised his hand and threw the Scroll of Salvation to Warner, then turned to Ozgucci: "Ozguch, find a place for Bishop Warner to rest. If we want to protect the town of Moramachi, we may not be able to do without Bishop Warner in the future. There’s help.”
Warner hurriedly took the scroll of redemption and showed a grateful expression towards An Fei. Unexpectedly, Ozgucci pushed him hard from behind, almost pushing him over: "Follow me, hurry up! "
"Ozgucci, when outsiders are around, not only you, but also me, must show sufficient respect to Bishop Warner. Do you understand?" An Fei said suddenly.
"Ah?" Ozguch was stunned. Seeing An Fei's serious expression, he hurriedly said: "I understand, sir, Bishop Warner, please..."
"Okay, okay, don't be too polite." Nanna was confused and had an unnatural smile on his face.
Seeing Ozguch and Warner walking into the alleyway, Alice signaled Aijeraz to retreat with the mercenaries, then waved away the dwarves and goblins, walked to An Fei's side and whispered: "Sir, your appetite... too big."
"Me? What's your appetite?" An Fei looked puzzled.
"You want to win over that Warner, right? Otherwise there is no need to respect him. He is just a poor frightened man."
"You also know the power of the Scroll of Redemption. Of all the people here, only Warner can activate the Scroll of Redemption. There is no doubt that he will be a strong help to us. Do I have to shut him out?"
"Of course, he will definitely be a strong help to us, but it seems that is not what you care about. Maybe one day in the future, Warner will become the next pope."
The muscles in the corner of An Fei's eyes couldn't help but twitch, and he slowly looked at Alice. Pope William handed the Scroll of Salvation to Bergkamp, which not only showed his attitude, but also allowed Bergkamp to use the Scroll of Salvation. Will gain more prestige and achievements. When the prestige and achievements have accumulated to a certain level, Bergkamp will naturally become the best candidate. Bergkamp can do this, and so can Warner, but this is Anfei's newly born idea, which is far from mature, and it feels uncomfortable to have someone's feelings revealed.
"The Pope? It's too far away!" An Fei said slowly: "When the undead creatures reach a certain number, their targets will no longer be those villages and towns with a population of only a few hundred. Blackwater City and Baishan City will definitely suffer from undead creatures. ’s siege, with Warner’s help, we can easily crush the plans of the undead creatures, and it will also bring us more benefits.”
"My lord, I didn't mean to offend you. I just wanted to be honest in front of you." Alice smiled bitterly.
An Fei realized that his expression was too stiff, but Alice was quick-witted and could easily see her unhappiness. She was silent for a moment, exhaled a long breath, and sighed: "Alice, you are so smart!"
"Don't you deny it?" Feeling An Fei's change, Alice's expression also became relaxed.
"There's no need to hide anything from you. I was just a little uncomfortable just now. I think you can understand." An Fei smiled: "But... no one can guarantee the future. Let's take it one step at a time."
