Chapter 159: Bishop candidate?

Views:

"The church offers low-cost educational courses for believers, but poor believers don't have time, and most believers who have time don't need these basic knowledge. The church's propaganda has been going on, but the effect is not great, and the Kingdom does not want us to pass this kind of education. Ways to expand your influence... Let's not say that, in short, we now need a teacher who teaches basic arithmetic at night. The original gentleman has returned to his hometown to live with his family. Poor Mr. Foley, I wish him health .Oliver has complimented me on your arithmetic ability. It is enough for an hour every Wednesday from eight to nine o'clock. A class is 10 shillings... "

"no problem."

Before the old man finished speaking, Jenkins replied immediately.

"It's easy, and an hour is a short time."

He didn't say that he didn't need that money, after all, knowledge is valuable, which is written in the teachings of the sages.

"This is good."

The old man nodded, looking at the young students hurrying downstairs holding books, and looking at the chocolates in the flower garden.

"We also need a reason to cover up your identity. The royal family and some nobles know that you have a great relationship with the church. Some people are speculating that the diocese wants to train you to be the next or next bishop..."

"Why is there such a guess?"

Jenkins felt amused, tapped the floor with his cane, took off his hat, and put it on the window sill.

[Church of Knowledge and Books] Sure enough, it is rich, the window frames are made of some kind of brass-colored alloy that Jenkins can't see the material, and the clean floor of the corridor reminds people of some harsh nobles' large manors.

Judging from Jenkins' experience, the manor where he and Miss Hesha participated in the masquerade ball last time may not be as well decorated as this one.

"It's easy to understand. Your parents were believers of sages very early on. You followed them to worship in the church. You know most of the people in the church. Now you have 'reformed' and found a job through my introduction. , and successfully published a book; there is no problem with your ability, in the image displayed outside, and in the rumors arranged by the church, Mr. Jenkins Williams is a very assertive, neat, impartial and very pious Believers. If today I announced that you resigned from Oliver's job and recruited you as a priest of the church, then the whole city would know the next day that [Knowledge and Books] Church has a candidate. Although they can't be sure about this, but This kind of speculation is now the mainstream... "

The bishop smiled and looked at the steeple of the main hall of the church in the distance, and added: "I was born in a pious family, was assigned a humble job by the church, can publish books by myself, has a lot of connections with the people in the local church, and is familiar with the church's doctrinal classics. As good as any cultist...you meet all the ingredients."

Jenkins didn't know what to say for a while, he thought about it, and asked tentatively: "You don't really plan to..."

"Will you agree?"

the old man asked back.

"of course not."

He replied honestly, sighing softly in his heart:

"The secret of becoming a god is being revealed to me step by step. How can I have time to be a bishop?"

As he thought about it, he added again and again: "I'm not interested in secularism or the rights of the church. Although my literature and mathematics are not bad, management skills can't be cultivated in a short time. To be honest, even if I Let me be king, I don't even have time!"

Bishop Parode laughed: "You are still like this. I remember that when you were eight years old, Robert asked you about your future plans. You said something similar at that time. It was an autumn, but the first snow that year Be early... ”

He told the story of the past, and Jenkins stood by, smiling and listening. No matter who the soul is, he now has Jenkins' physical body and will help the original owner to live out his life.

After talking with Bishop Parode, Jenkins accompanied him to listen to the sermon in the church for a while, and then got up to look for Captain Bincy. But instead of him, Jenkins found Jerry Schleicher, as he was so busy with the Gearbug thing.

Because the bearded gentleman was attacked by the devil on the night of the devil incident, his body is still a little weak, so he was not assigned to work outside, and he still stayed inside the church as a guard.

"Williamt, long time no see. I'm planning to go to Oliver's father in a few days to thank you. The doctor who treated me said that if the trauma was not healed very early, this injury might leave me for the rest of my life." It's also a disease that can't be cured."

The place where the two talked was next to a flower garden near the back door. It was already October, but there were still some seedlings growing in the flower garden.

According to Mr. Schleich's introduction, this seems to be a very precious plant. The diocese got a dozen seeds by accident, and planted them here with the mentality of giving it a try. The left and right only occupy a small area, so it's not a pity even if there is no harvest.

After inquiring about Mr. Schleich's physical condition, Jenkins stopped making detours and asked straight to the point:

"I was also present when the gear germs were discovered yesterday, so I came here today to ask how the matter is going. It's okay, if this matter needs to be kept secret, you don't need to answer."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, indicating that he had no intention of prying into secrets.

"It's okay. In your capacity, there is no need to deliberately conceal this matter. But please don't talk about it with others outside. You should also know about the confidentiality agreement..."

He paused and fumbled in his pocket for a while before taking out a piece of silver and casually throwing it on the ground aside.

"Yesterday, after the church received the message from Captain Bincy, it immediately sent a message to other Orthodox churches. At the same time, it arranged for people to contact the municipal authorities to step up the search for people related to the fraudster. Now 12 infected people have been found. There are people of all identities. Generally speaking, one source of infection can infect 30 to 50 people. We don’t know how many people he had contact with before he was arrested, and how many people were infected. Now things are very troublesome. Let alone , there may be more than one hidden source of infection in Nolan City..."

As the man spoke, a deep sense of worry appeared on his face. Jenkins thought about what he said just now, and suddenly felt that Captain Bincy's head might be getting bigger now.

"How did the source of infection appear? Has this matter been clarified?"

he asked again.
