"Or...go talk to the Bishop?"
"Today is different. The monastery is under martial law. Such things should be rejected."
When several temple guards were discussing, Brother Booker just came over to inform them to change the time of defense change. When he walked out of the church vestibule and saw these guards, he stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"
The guards were in trouble for this, and when they saw Booker, they immediately told the story—perhaps because of the bard's story, Booker didn't have the common prejudice of city residents against the group of "adventurers" wandering outside, but instead He was quite fond of it. After thinking for a while, he reached for the package in the guard's hand and said, "The bishop is just about to say something. I'll take it up and show it to the bishop. Let him wait outside."
Booker walked around to confirm that the position of the guards was okay. Before leaving, he turned his head and looked outside the gate. His gaze stayed on the figure of the adventurer for a moment, and then he turned his head and walked towards the inside of the monastery.
"It looks familiar."
After walking a few steps, Booker felt that he had seen that face before, but because he couldn't see it clearly from a distance, he shook his head and left the church without thinking.
The afternoon sun is slightly warm.
In the open space behind the church, priests, monks, and nuns in the monastery gathered here, listening to Bishop Benjamin's arrangements for the arrival of the bishop in the middle of the month.
"The speech in the city square will be held on September 20th. His Excellency the Bishop has come with accurate information, so everyone should pay attention during this time..."
Generally speaking, these are some simple arrangements. The reason why we chose to hold the meeting behind the church instead of going to the church is because these things are not too important, and we only need to mention a few points.
After finishing speaking, Benjamin looked at Booker who came to him with the package in his arms, waved his hand to signal "the meeting was over", and then asked aloud, "What is this?"
"An adventurer outside said to give you something. It seems that when he came last time, you gave him a necklace as a token. I think it may be more important. I will show it to you—that adventurer still Waiting at the gate of the monastery."
Booker's ordinary words made Bishop Benjamin pause slightly, and he glanced aside calmly—Sally was talking with Chris, so she didn't notice this.
"Oh, I remember him."
Immediately taking the package in Booker's hand, Benjamin found a letter from it, opened the letter, frowned slightly after reading it, and said to himself: "Can Nilda write something like this? "
Before Booker could say anything, the bishop, who was always calm, turned around and walked towards the church in a hurry.
Booker only thought that the bishop had something to do, so he didn't notice the abnormality. At this time, although the monks had "dismissed the meeting", the few guys who could chat with Booker hadn't left yet, so he leaned over and chatted together like in the past.
A few minutes later, when Rhine, the archer "brainless fan", was comparing mercenaries and adventurers, who was better at archery, Booker remembered what happened at the door of the church just now, and interjected: "Rhein, you mean adventurers? There is an arrow outside the monastery." As for the adventurer, he looks a bit like the kind of guy a bard would say—"
"Oh? What kind? Is it amazing?"
Ryan and the others immediately became interested, and the discussion became louder—Sally, who was about to walk away, heard a few words, and suddenly stopped in her tracks, and asked, "Any adventurers want to see the bishop?"
"That's right," Booker nodded, "He seems to have been to the monastery once before, and the Bishop knows him. Hey—I said, why did I think he looked familiar before, this guy is very similar to that bard!"
"he came?!"
Sally was taken aback for a moment, and her delicate oval face showed undisguised joy, but then she thought of something, and her brows gradually frowned—it was a good thing that Rody came to find her, but...
"Oops!"
Breaking out in a cold sweat, Sally suddenly realized that she hadn't had time to tell Rody about the fact that she exchanged Rody's identity information for the sect to no longer pursue it!
Without even saying hello, Sally turned around and ran towards the church like crazy...
***
Back to three minutes ago, before Sally noticed everything, Bishop Benjamin had already met with Roddy in the room in the church where "Spiritual Home" was written.
"So, this is a letter signed by Priest Nilda and you found it by accident?"
"Actually, it's not unintentional, it's like this..."
Rody was wearing a gray robe, and he read the words written in the "task bar" with serious expressions, without flaws in his words - because this is a script written by the game itself, and the task itself is indeed related to the priest's depravity, there is no fabrication .
The formulaic task handing in was like this last time, so naturally there would be no surprises this time—Rody was full of confidence and sure.
Things like "reputation" must be done together with leveling up. Rody understood that even if he didn't need new bows and arrows, he would have to come here to do some related tasks sooner or later.
Because in his memory, the "Rose Cross" can definitely be called a very strong sect-this sect with a wide range of believers has always stood firm after the war, even when the country was lost in the late game, the "Rose Cross" He was still able to preach safely in a limited area, and organized several large-scale "jihad" armies in a decent manner, and the effect was even far better than that group of second-handed aristocratic armies who only knew internal friction!
Don't look at this group of magic sticks who don't seem to be involved in the Communist Party, they just know how to pray and pray all day long, but in fact, the "Rose Cross" has a deep foundation, a lot of resources, and is more ruthless in fighting battles than anyone else!
So starting to build a good relationship with this group of magic sticks now is definitely an investment that can obtain effective returns in the long run-in addition to buying more equipment with better attributes, if necessary, he can even find some priests to provide him with a period of time. A powerful "UFF" within the time limit.
And if you can achieve the "worship" reputation, mobilize the holy war army or something...
His head was full of obscenity, but Luo Di deeply realized what it means to be "the ideal is full, but the reality is skinny" in the second minute after the conversation started...
"The content of this letter is very important. On behalf of the Rosary Cross Temple, I thank you for your help," Bishop Benjamin smiled and spoke sincerely and politely. Looking at Roddy in front of him, he turned casually; "Then Captain Roddy, for the sake of helping the 'Rose Cross' so much a few days ago, do you have time to talk to me about other things?"
The originally harmonious atmosphere froze instantly because of these words.
Luo Di was stunned for a moment, and then he felt 10,000 grass-mud horses roaring past his chest!
Damn it... he actually knows my identity!
At this moment, Luo Di thought that the other party had recognized him, but he immediately rejected this situation - he didn't even show his figure on the balcony on the third floor, and it was impossible for the other party to know what he looked like... and Zuo Si After thinking to the right, he immediately thought of the only possibility.
"...Sally said it?"
He narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively.
Immediately, Roddy saw Benjamin raising his eyebrows, and seemed a little surprised to reply: "You have very keen observation skills, Captain Roddy, I just wanted to talk to you about Sally..."
As for what the bishop said afterwards, Roddy's brain was already a little bit overwhelmed.
If he hadn't known that the other party was the bishop of "Rosaceous Cross" and he was still in his church, Roddy would have turned the table and cursed "QNMLG" at the first time—the anger of being betrayed made his whole body tremble, even his brain Li can no longer hear what Benjamin said...
why why why!
He exhausted himself to rescue Sally, and at the risk of exposing his identity and offending the "Rosie Cross" sect, he helped her kill the assassin.
Is she fucking professionally selling teammates
Clenching his fingers into fists and putting them down again, Rody, who had a harmless smile on his face before, suddenly let out an undisguised icy breath.
For Rody, he actually doesn't have many "friends" in his heart. Even "comrades" like Soderol, Ruger, and Carter, it is difficult for Rody to really talk about the battle with his heart. outside topic. "Technical nerd" is lonely, so things like "friendship" become more and more precious.
Just like he would like that weird little wizard, even if the other party is NC, Rody will still ignore the ridicule of others and cherish that former relationship extremely.
As for Sally, although she didn't think too much about it, and even regarded her as a "chip" that would allow her to change the tragic ending of the kingdom in the future, Rody still paid a lot for it inadvertently, and even risked his life many times. Danger—either not to be friends, or to be friends for life, this is one of Rody's understandings of "friendship", and because of this, when he finds himself betrayed by "friends", he will have indescribable emotions angry emotion.
Why is she doing this? ! Why!
It never occurred to Roddy that he fell into Bishop Benjamin's trap at this time...
As far as Benjamin is concerned, he naturally understands that he actually owes the other party a favor. And according to the bishop's original temperament, after figuring out the stakes, he will definitely choose to repair the relationship with Roddy, and it is even possible to win the other party into the sect and become his disciple...
But after Sally had such a conversation with him, Benjamin immediately made up his mind: Sally and Roddy should not be allowed to contact each other again!
Sally didn't notice it herself, but at such an age, how could Benjamin fail to see the little girl's affection for Rody
The nuns of the "Rose Cross" cannot marry, let alone have any "scandals" involving emotions!
Although Benjamin knew that this was cruel to Sally, he firmly believed that there was nothing wrong with what he did—even when he owed Roddy a huge favor.
Up to now, Roddy has completely "misunderstood" Sally, and he will definitely hold grudges in his heart in the future. This is tantamount to cutting off the possibility of the relationship between the two of them continuing to develop, and completely achieving Benjamin's goal.
The sect rules come first, and Benjamin is not interested in understanding theories such as "freedom of love". What's more, in his eyes, even if Rody can kill a few orcs and find clues about Priest Nilda, it is not something that can be found. The role of the table.
What can a frontier scout captain change? What can be done? After all, they are just little people.
