"Look at you, you are the priest who will be the priest of the church. You are still a noble! Welcome, servants of God, our brothers and sisters. Welcome to this big family."
This statement is extremely elegant. Those who don't understand the situation will think that this priest is the real noble. Paladin was a little stunned. The rumored ruthless priest of the Holy See was so polite to a lowly priest! It was beyond his expectations. I thought that this person would also be dismissive and ignore himself. This is of course what Paladin wants to see the most.
So handsome, not only the surrounding mercenaries were dumbfounded, but even those third-rate girls were so red-faced that they could not wait to come forward and hug the priest and kiss him. But that's just in my head. If you really want to do it, you don't know how you will be treated. The clergy of the Holy See clearly stipulated that they could not touch women.
I saw this handsome priest suddenly stunned, shook his head helplessly, and said in a pious whisper: "Forgot to introduce myself. My name is Maurice. Chief executive of the sixth court of the Holy See. This brother and sister, It's an honor to meet you." "Uh, oh..." Paladin couldn't come back to his senses. This high-ranking Morris is a little strange to himself. Let Paladin not know what the other party wants to do. You can only follow his train of thought.
At the same time, Paladin sighed inwardly. This Morris claimed to be the chief executive of the sixth court of the tribunal. The Inquisition was divided into two divisions, as learned from the manuscripts of dead priests. One is called the Court of Justice and the other is called the Court of Justice.
The former is responsible for catching and killing heretics, while the latter is responsible for approving and recording heretics. In the court, there are a total of thirteen courtrooms. In other words, in the court, there are only twelve people at the same level as this Morris! It is conceivable how much power this man has.
Morris, who was smiling, suddenly stared at the silver cross on Palatine's chest, the only thing left to him by his unmasked parents. He suddenly smiled and said, "Pastor Palatine, the cross on your chest is very unique. Can you take it off and show it to me?"
Paladin, who suddenly felt that something was wrong, had no choice. He took off the cross with a licking smile and handed it to Morris. "Hmm~ Interesting stuff. Where did you get it?" Although Maurice smiled brightly, Paladin only felt a penetrating coldness running through his body. He lowered his hands subconsciously, avoided Morris' eyes, and said indifferently, "It's nothing, but it was exchanged from a wandering ascetic before. If Lord Morris likes it, just take it."
"No, no, thank you for the kindness of the priest." Morris laughed and gave the Palatine cross. Hearing this, Paladin was secretly relieved. But luckily, the happy old man, looking at the two big bags of noodles, came in happily from the back door with six pots of water in his hand. Morris saw that the dry food had arrived, and immediately folded his hands reverently and clenched his fists: "There will be a period later. May the supreme light god bless you all the time."
"Bless you too." Paladin hurriedly returned the salute. But I saw Morris turned around, and the five executives were holding bread and water in one hand. Open the door and walk away.
The potential danger came to an end, and Paladin just wanted to raise his hand to wipe the fine sweat on his forehead. At the end of the walk, Morris, who was about to step out of the tavern, suddenly stopped, turned around and suddenly shouted: "Paladin!" "Ah? Lord Morris called me? But is there anything else I need to do? "
This sudden shout made Paladin tremble. Fortunately, his real name was also Paladin, so he looked up at Morris without any hesitation. He immediately pretended to speak. Morris looked at Paladin's reaction, and suddenly smiled harmlessly, stretched out his hand to put on the hood from his stamina, and said casually, "It's nothing, I'm just kidding you."
After that, he left the pub. He and his five companions stepped on the pure white high-headed horse, a horse roared, and the six of them flew away with a puff of smoke. Until it was confirmed that Morris and the others had left, Paladin's face turned gloomy in an instant. If you look closely, you can find it. The hand that was half exposed on the sleeve was trembling rapidly!
"This Morris, found out that I was a fake? I should have noticed it, but there is no definite evidence and reason. Even he himself does not believe in his own guess. That's why he just walked away so easily. There are branch affairs waiting for them, why waste time on an obscure priest?"
Thinking like this, Paladin saw the old man come over flatteringly. It wasn't because he saw that he had a close relationship with CEO Morris, and he had the heart to win over him. Suddenly, Paladin only felt a nameless fire blazing, and the mask that had been pretending was taken off at this time: "Old man! Take me to the room soon!" Waving his sleeves, he went straight up the stairs. Although the old man was upset, he didn't dare to say it clearly. With a fake smile, he followed up. .
At this time, Morris and his party were galloping on horseback. The way forward is the branch of the Free Masons Association that Paladin finally escaped from! A tall executive who ran beside Morris saw the silence and thought under Morris' hood. He couldn't help but leaned forward to his side and asked in a low voice, "Chief, what's wrong with you?" "That priest named Palatine is very suspicious..."
When the tall executive heard this, he immediately lowered his head and waited. Because he knew Morris and would say it in detail. Sure enough, Maurice's far-reaching voice passed through the roaring wind and entered the executive's ears: "Through the test just now, I confirmed that his name is Paladin. It doesn't look like a fake. But it's strange. Yes, a priest who is about to become a priest in the church doesn't even understand the etiquette of meeting priests! It's really strange."
Not to mention whether Paladin would fall to the ground in fright if he heard this. But I heard the tall executive say indifferently: "It's nothing, my lord. You also heard that he is a nobleman. Maybe he just bought a seat with money. He didn't go to the monastery to study systematically. Morris waved his hand and said immediately: "Let's not say whether he bought the priesthood or not, but the cross on his chest is the one worn by the executive officer of our Inquisition and blessed with divine purification. There is no reason to learn from an ascetic monk. available there."
The tall executive was a little surprised, but Morris continued: "Also, when I was talking to him, he was sweating on his forehead, palms, and back. When he asked for the cross, he avoided my sight, his hands Cross. A very obvious self-protection action." "Then, what is it?" Hearing the subordinate's question, Morris looked up at the white clouds covering the blue sky, and murmured: "He's too nervous. . . "
