He turned around and looked at the young man in front of him silently: "So, Herbert, do you know what you need most now?"
“It’s strength.”
The other party's words were so obvious, Herbert knelt on one knee without hesitation and said sincerely: "Your Excellency the Knight Commander, please guide me on what to do!"
Bishop Rusty Nail looked at the sensible boy and nodded with satisfaction, then whispered in a hoarse voice, "Very good."
"You are very smart. After you found out that I had no ill will towards you, you guessed what I was thinking."
"Yes, I do hope that you can become a member of the Knights."
Herbert lowered his head and raised his eyebrows, a little surprised by the Knight Commander's words - had he already seen it
This Rusty Nail Bishop is not as ignorant of human nature as he appears to be.
"As a noble, it's good that you know how to communicate with others."
"Many times, monks seem too rigid in their dealings with others and don't know how to communicate with others."
The cardinal curled his lips, causing the rivets on it to collide lightly, making a slight buzzing sound.
"The nobles will see us as heartless lunatics, and fear that we will purge them along with their evil."
"And sometimes, even commoners regard us as lackeys of the nobles, fearing that we will charge high fees... heh."
Bishop Rusty Nail's gaze fell on the monks in the training ground. He shook his head silently, sighed, and closed his eyes in pain.
No more watching...
It makes me feel dizzy just looking at it.
"What they lack is... well, your tact."
Bishop Rusty Nail turned back and looked at the white-haired boy and nodded with satisfaction again, saying: "But these alone are not enough, you also need enough strength."
He held out his hand to Herbert, inviting him:
"Give up your job at the Inquisition and join the Knights. I will train you personally."
"I will never waste your talent. I will make you a paladin who can truly protect justice."
Herbert did not answer immediately.
To be honest, Bishop Rusty Nail's suggestion is not bad. He really needs a channel to systematically improve his training strength.
But...
Give up the job at the Tribunal
Herbert frowned, feeling that he was not inviting him, but forcing him to abstain from sex.
You are making things difficult for me!
"I… "
Bang!
Just as he was about to speak, the door behind him was pushed open, and a burly figure rushed in without any image, blocking the two of them.
"Herbert!!!"
Bishop Thorn's loud voice echoed throughout the training ground, attracting everyone's attention.
Everyone heard a roar that broke through the defense:
"Don't promise him anything-Ah!!!"
Chapter 56 Compromise (Please read!)
"Malcolm!"
"You vile noble!"
"I knew I couldn't trust your promise!!!"
The roar of the Bishop of Thorns was tragic, filled with passionate rage and sad resentment. It sounded like the roar of a man who had just seen his wife almost follow the yellow-haired man.
It was so miserable and sad.
Bishop Thorn is angry!
I'm so stupid.
real.
Why did I believe the nonsense of this crappy nobleman and really think that he would not secretly come to kidnap people
Damn it, are you trying to steal my girl
His sturdy body completely hid Herbert behind him, blocking the greedy sight of his competitor like protecting his calf.
"Oh, you came pretty quickly..."
When Bishop Rusty Nail saw his colleague appear, he knew that this matter could not be accomplished today. He snorted coldly and said lightly: "Don't make a fuss here."
"I make a lot of noise, don't I?"
Bishop Thorn was so angry that he laughed, and his eyes kept rolling back, but unfortunately they were all covered by the crown, so the lethality was equivalent to zero.
"I know what you want to do. Don't you want Herbert to join your Knights? You wish! There is no way I will agree to that!"
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
The Knight Commander said calmly, "You know in your heart that he is not suitable for the Inquisition. Staying in the Third Commandment will only waste his talent. You are violating the commandments."
You are committing a crime!
"I broke the rules? Fine!"
The judge was so angry that he laughed. He nodded repeatedly and said through gritted teeth, "I am too lazy to argue with a noble like you. Let's go directly to the Archbishop and let him judge for us!"
"See how your Excellency will reject you!"
After saying that, he kicked open the door that was already shaking after being hit by him, and quickly returned to the monastery along the same route.
"Humph, you only have muscles in your head... How could His Excellency the Archbishop care about you for this matter?"
Bishop Rusty Nail snorted, then turned to look at the people on the training ground and whispered sinisterly: "What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"
Alas!!!
In an instant, the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared, and everyone started exercising with full passion and without looking away.
His movements are more precise than before, and his expression is more serious than before!
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
Bang bang bang!
Boom boom boom!
Those who stabbed stabbed, those who kicked in the crotch kicked in the crotch, and those who got beaten... Hey, pay attention, don't really beat him to death!
Bishop Rusty Nail took in all their performance, snorted angrily, and then merged his body into the shadows under his feet and disappeared in a moment.
"… "
Herbert blinked, looked at the shadow under his feet, and then looked at the others around him who were already practicing seriously.
Nothing happened.
He scratched his head, feeling a little confused.
"Hey, I... I haven't gotten in the car yet!"
Aren't you fighting for me
Why did you leave me, the protagonist, here
.
.
"What are you two doing?"
Before sealing the sanctuary, a figure in a red robe holding a sword blocked the door and stopped the two bishops who wanted to enter the sanctuary to find the archbishop.
The wide red robe concealed the features of her body, and only some slight undulations could reveal her identity as a woman.
Her face was completely hidden by the shadow of the hood, with no skin exposed.
And she is the third cardinal of the Misty Abbey, known as the [Watcher] of the Bishop of Ashes.
"You two, do you know what you are doing?"
Bishop Ash's voice was extremely gentle, and his tone even sounded kind and gentle.
But to the two bishops, it sounded as terrifying as the wailing from hell.
"Your Excellency the Watcher."
"Your Mightiness… "
The two who were originally drunk now seemed particularly well-behaved and lowered their heads respectfully.
broken!
There is no way not to bow my head.
This being is much more mysterious than both of them, and has been stationed in the Misty Monastery for hundreds of years.
There are even rumors that she is a contemporary of the Archbishop!
It can be said that she watched these two bishops grow step by step from a down-and-out noble and a poor monk.
There is a kind of beauty that still makes your heart tremble when you meet the dean of studies after work.
"I'm not surprised that you two had a quarrel, but you should pay attention to the occasion and your status."
Bishop Ashes' emotions remained stable, as gentle as water, as if he was advising two immature children:
"This is the Sealed Sanctuary, the most important place in the entire monastery. The rule is that no more than two people can enter at the same time. Have you forgotten?"
"The power of the desecrated prayer statue has been very active recently, so the archbishop called me over to guard it together. If you have any questions, I will help you convey them."
The judge moved his mouth, coughed awkwardly twice, and whispered: "Uh, we don't have anything to ask, nothing..."
"Um?"
Bishop Ash raised his head slightly, looked at the sturdy man who was a head taller than him even with his head lowered, and asked calmly, "So what are you two doing here?"
! !
Howl again!
The presiding judge immediately realized that something bad had happened, but fortunately the Knight Commander took over the conversation and said respectfully: "Sir, this is what happened..."
He told the whole story quickly and without exaggeration.
This included Herbert's request for "leakage of information" and his own demands, which he stated completely without reservation.
"Your Excellency, you really can't waste his talent."
Bishop Ash nodded after listening to this, and after making sure that the presiding judge had nothing else to add, he entered the room.
But a moment later, she reappeared in front of the two and announced:
"The Archbishop gave his reply."
"Herbert can join the Knights, but it cannot affect his original work in the Third Order."
"He belongs to both the Inquisition and the Knights."
Bishop Rusty Nail's eyes lit up and he bowed his head respectfully.
He had actually guessed this result a long time ago and had always hoped for it.
On the other side, Bishop Thorn's expression was much more subtle. He had a lot to say, but in the end he said nothing and also lowered his head.
Now that things have come to this, we can only compromise.
Bishop Ashes looked at the two of them, nodded, and then said:
"In addition, regarding what Herbert said about the heretics' good behavior... the Archbishop also agreed to give them some rewards."
"But going out for a walk is not an option for now. The risk is too great."
