He hurried back to Edley, but what appeared in front of him was a scene that shocked Paladin even more. The city gates opened, and all the people in the city lined up on both sides of the main road, waiting for someone with flowers in their hands. There are security positions on both sides, and soldiers with hooked scythes and spears block the lively crowd. Makes a clean and spacious road in the middle of the crowded avenue. Palatine dismounted and pushed through the crowd. Not long after, I saw the Adley Cathedral towering in front of me.
"Don't push you!" Suddenly, a young man couldn't stand Palatine's push and turned around and yelled. But when I saw the Palatine priest's robe, and the lavender lace scarf that symbolized the archdeacon hanging around his neck. Immediately blew down: "Oh, oh, it's the auxiliary bishop Palatine, look at my eyes." However, Palatine didn't care about anything else at this time, squinting at the crowded church square in the distance, and asked at the exit. : "What are you doing here?" "You don't know?"
The young man was playing with his tongue, but saw Paladin's fierce eyes glaring at him. Immediately scared to say all the words: "That's it, Your Excellency Auxiliary Bishop. Our lord, Earl Torch, was ordered to go on an expedition by the Grand Duke! We are located in a remote place. Since the founding of the country, I have never seen what war is. It's a great place to make meritorious deeds praised by bards. So we send all the young people to join the army! Maybe a knight will come back!"
Palatine simply ignored the idea of these ignorant people rushing to die. He glanced at him and asked directly, "Why don't you go?" "Hehe, I have three brothers. All of them went. But who will take care of the old people after they leave? Hey, it's my life." Paladin watched for a while. The regretful young man suddenly said with disdain: "You will be grateful to your brother in the future." After saying that, he ignored the idiot and pushed the crowd away to Adrien Cathedral.
As soon as they came to the church square, they saw Bishop Andrew and Dean and Pastor Kanarava standing in front of the door in extremely formal attire. There were dozens of priests standing beside him. But the strange thing is that some people are frowning, and some people are full of joy. Suddenly, Palatine was slightly taken aback. He saw that the choir he had formed in ** was standing on the steps with Adley's choir at the moment, singing the hymn of blessing! "What's going on? My own choir, why did I come here without my approval?" Paladin suppressed the more disturbing thoughts in his heart. He walked through the crowd and came to Andrew, who was playing with his scepter with his head down, and said respectfully, "His Excellency, I'm back."
"Oh, you're back. Come, come, stand next to me." Andrew raised his head to see Palatine, and immediately welcomed him with a smile. However, Paladin could see very carefully that Andrew's smile was not as cheerful as before, but a barrier to him. "This is a very fake smile." Paladin was so certain in his heart, took the decorative scepter used for celebration, and came to Andrew's side.
Paladin frowned. He thinks there are more worries today than in the past combined. Quietly raised his head, he saw a burst of cheers on the road leading to the lord's castle, and the crowd boiled one by one. Vaguely visible, at the end of the front, a group of knights on tall horses, in armor and equipped with swords and spears gradually approached. And just as Paladin muttered to himself what went wrong. The Carava next to him suddenly coughed. Andrew nodded immediately.
The more Paladin looked at it, the more strange it became, but he didn't want Andrew to keep his head down and said in a voice that only a few people present could hear: "Paladin, did you know that Lord Torch is going to lead an army to fight against Ai Xinzhe with the Grand Duke?" Got it." Paladin lowered his voice. He listened carefully to Andrew's words. Because he knew that this old thing must have something important to tell himself. But what Andrew said next made Paladin almost roar!
"Then do you know that whenever the local lord goes out to lead troops, does the priest of the parish he belong to go out with him?" "What!" Paladin roared with eyes wide open. His eyes were full of disbelief. "Did you betray me? Andrew! And you, that Carava!" Paladin suppressed his anger and roared in a low voice. Because of Andrew's words, Palatine suddenly understood. The troops on the expedition must bring priests, not only to treat the wounded at a critical juncture, but also to bless and listen to prayers for soldiers who are usually stressed. Even before the war between the two armies, the priest must bless.
Regardless of the enemy or both, as long as the credibility of Inos. There can be no war or taking advantage of people's dangers at that time. There's nothing wrong with just looking at it. You can also meet some dignitaries. But, but! It was on the battlefield, and the sword had no eyes. Although it is expressly stipulated that the accompanying priests of both sides cannot be attacked in any way. It is above the offensive and defensive of the country.
However, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and cases of priests who were killed by mistake abound. There are also some who march in harsh environments. It is not uncommon for frail priests to die in the wilderness. Every year, there are more than 100 priests who die because of wars in the Orosen Continent! You can see what a huge casualty this is. That's why Palatine is angry. Because this is clearly an act of letting him die. Condemned Andrew and Canarava for abandoning him.
"Pay attention to your words and deeds, Paladin. You are not alone in the priest sent to the battlefield. There are also many priests who are subordinates." Paladin glanced back, seeing Cannarava's indifference, angry Teng Teng immediately rose up. Angrily, he smiled and said, "Then Kalava, maybe it's you who suggested that I go!" "What's in it for me?"
There was a look of sarcasm on Calava's face, but Palatine immediately replied: "Iron, armor! Now the war, you want to take away those three towns for gold coins!" He said in a low voice, "So what? All the local lords went to the battlefield. Instead of leaving you gold coins, it's better for me to decorate the monastery."
Paladin can guarantee that, if it weren't for the square now, he would immediately lock this bastard in his basement, and after all kinds of torture, he would become a stone of truth! Paladin, whose eyes were red like a beast, turned to stare at Andrew who was still bowing his head, shook the scepter in his hand and said, "Andrew, are you also abandoning me? Do you want to accept everything I have?" Careful of Palatine's angry voice, he said to himself, "What do you think? Dear Palatine. You are an auxiliary bishop. This is a definite fact and cannot be changed."
Even so, the anger on Palatine's face continued unabated. However, Andrew continued to say: "But I don't know when this war will be. Maybe it will be in the spring of tomorrow. So things during this period will naturally be handled by others. You are also tired, and treat it as a soup. Travel, relax and relax." If the position for half a year is given to others, will it still be your own position
In an instant, Palatine understood. Although it may not be their proposal to become an accompanying priest. But after knowing this news, not only did they not come to tip off the news, but they contributed to the flames! "You, are you treating me as a worthless abandoned child?" Paladin said in a low voice, but Andrew immediately answered with a strange smile on his face: "I heard that your family was exterminated by a magician not long ago. It's really a pity." Paladin was stunned for a moment. The destruction of the Flamel family was planned and executed by him. But putting it here, it is regarded as the fact that the last trace of use value has been lost! Abandoned Andrew and Nakalava completely! Self-inflicted sin, not to live.
"You will regret it." Paladin was silent for a while. At this time, he was no longer as angry as before, but fell into silence. Andrew and Nakalava looked back at him subconsciously, but saw Palatine's silent appearance, flashing with terrifying and terrifying killing intent: "You will regret it, old pervert and pedophile."
