Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling…
Bishop Rusty Nail shook his head, causing his rivets to collide, and said calmly: "To be precise, they did it."
"Those heretic monsters really obeyed Herbert's orders and arrangements as he said, and wiped out all the heretics who attacked."
After saying that, he raised his eyelids and said with a hint of disdain: "Besides, your vision has always been poor. Don't talk as if you made a mistake this time."
"Oh, I won't argue with you."
The presiding judge sneered and did not continue to argue about this topic because he knew that he would definitely not be able to win the argument with his old friend.
On the one hand, this damn nobleman had a very vicious tongue, and on the other hand, what he said was true.
"Herbert is really surprising. He actually managed to convert those heretics... But even so, they are still five legends."
The presiding judge couldn't help but be amazed when he thought of that lineup. Even if he took action himself, it would take a lot of effort, and there was a high possibility that most of them would run away after a fierce battle.
He sighed, "They were all killed in one night? This is faster than the nuns in our Inquisition!"
Bishop Rusty Nail's eyelids twitched when he heard this.
Um
"... Wait, isn't your Inquisition only responsible for interrogations?"
The Knight Commander narrowed his eyes and said in a dangerous voice, "Doesn't the execution of a criminal require the consent of two cardinals before it can be carried out?"
"Oh! Ah, ahem! You know, there are always some unexpected things during the interrogation process. Tsk! Just take care of your Knights and don't worry about these insignificant details."
The chief judge coughed and waved his hand, saying, "Besides, those people are all sinful heretics anyway. Your Excellency the Warden knows that, so don't worry about it."
"… "
The Knight Commander stared at the presiding judge with his dead eyes for a long time before he finally shook his head helplessly, sighed, and closed his eyes in pain.
This idiot.
It's really unbearable to watch...
Chapter 117 I need a bodyguard (eye hint) (2/3)
In the Sealed Sanctuary, Herbert saw the Archbishop again and bowed respectfully behind him.
"Your Mightiness."
"Kid, you're here again. It looks like your plan has worked... huh?"
Hearing this, the Archbishop turned around, looked at Herbert carefully, and widened his eyes slightly in surprise.
"you… "
Herbert lowered his head humbly and did not offer to explain, waiting for the archbishop to come up with a reasonable explanation himself.
For such a leader with strong personal abilities, you don't have to explain much, he will be able to find reasons to convince himself.
Taking the initiative to explain some "parts he hasn't thought of yet" will only backfire and make him feel unhappy, causing him to develop a rebellious mentality of "What are you explaining? Don't I understand?"
Sure enough, after thinking for a moment, the archbishop smiled warmly and nodded in admiration:
"Haha, very good. Your talent in practicing holy power is even better than I thought. You have completely adapted to the transformation of your body by holy power in such a short time."
The Archbishop viewed Herbert’s physical improvement as a high degree of adaptability to the Holy Power.
This is still surprising, but it is possible.
He had seen too many geniuses in his life. The number of those favored by God alone exceeded the number on both hands. He had even seen several people who were deified through faith.
Although those who ascended to the gods only became subordinate gods at the lowest level of the pantheon, they had completely entered the realm of gods and transcended ordinary beings.
Although Herbert was excellent in adaptability to the Holy Force, it was not to the point where he would be dumbfounded.
The archbishop thought so and nodded slightly - well, it's pretty good, but his talent is still a little worse than mine.
After praising him, the Archbishop raised his hand and patted Herbert on the shoulder, motioning him to continue sitting in his previous seat.
"Since you have arrived safely, I believe those heretics have been successfully purified according to your plan."
"Yes, all the dark elf heretics have been purified."
"No one else took action?"
Herbert raised his head proudly and said, "Yes, just as I promised before, I can only rely on the monsters in the Third Commandment."
All of this was achieved without any help from anyone, only through the efforts of me and them!
We are so strong!
The archbishop looked at the proud and complacent young man, smiled kindly, and seemed to be in a very good mood.
As an elderly man, the Archbishop was very happy to see the young people's energetic spirit.
Although young people may not necessarily live longer than themselves, and it is difficult for them to go further than themselves, they represent hope for the future.
And good children need to be praised.
The archbishop did not beat around the bush and said a lot of chicken soup. He got straight to the point and asked, "Son, you came to see me this time. Is there any reward you want to get?"
At his level, there is no point in pretending to be nice, so it is better to be simple and direct.
Herbert understood this, and made no false excuses.
He sat up straight, stared into the Archbishop's calm eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Archbishop, I would like to leave the monastery temporarily and return to Frost Crystal King City to deal with some personal matters."
A little personal matter.
The archbishop raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, then nodded slightly: "Okay, is this the only request?"
"No, sir, I have other requests."
Herbert took a deep breath, clenched his fist silently, and said with some courage: "I think you can allow me to... take someone away from the monastery to protect my safety."
Um
The archbishop narrowed his eyes and looked quietly at the bold young man in front of him.
The young man did not flinch. He controlled the muscles in his body to remain calm. He looked back without the slightest trembling and calmly welcomed the scrutiny of the saint.
In an instant, the sanctuary fell into deathly silence, and time seemed to have come to a standstill.
Maybe a moment passed, or maybe half a day passed.
"… "
Just when Herbert felt that he had been seen through, the Archbishop finally withdrew his gaze, shook his head slightly, and said softly:
"Tell me, who do you want to take with you?"
The moment he opened his mouth, all the pressure disappeared.
call-
Herbert let out a long breath, bent down somewhat weakly, and took a deep breath with difficulty.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Even though he had been prepared for this, Herbert did not notice how much pressure he had just endured, and he didn't even notice it.
Until now, when he came to his senses, he actually felt like he was on the brink of life and death...
Is this knocking
Herbert quickly came to his senses and realized that this was a warning from the archbishop, which made his originally inflated confidence recede again.
What I give you is yours.
If I don't give it to you, you can't take it away.
Although the archbishop did not say it so bluntly, Herbert always had a feeling that way.
But after the palpitations faded away, Herbert was left with only ecstasy in his heart, and he laughed to himself.
“… Ha, ha!”
The bet was right.
No matter whether the process was dangerous or not... But in any case, he didn't refuse!
The archbishop did not refuse on the spot, so there was room for maneuver.
Herbert quickly adjusted himself, sat up straight again, and said firmly: "[Raging One]Valentina Moyan."
"I hope to be able to get Valentina to leave the convent with me."
Archbishop, I want this!
"… "
The archbishop did not give an answer, but asked slowly in a voice without any emotion: "Child, do you really understand what this means?"
Here comes the point.
Herbert knew that the key point was now, and he said firmly: "I know, I know very well what the price will be if I do this."
"To the world, Valentina is a very dangerous monster, and people are afraid of her."
"If she goes crazy in Frost Crystal City, it will cause tens of thousands of casualties, and I... will become the biggest sinner."
"Even so, I still want to choose her because she has really changed."
Herbert stood up, then knelt on one knee in front of the archbishop and pleaded, "I hope you can give me and her a chance to prove ourselves to the world."
"Tell them that she is not a monster who only knows how to destroy!"
Herbert spoke with great sincerity, but the archbishop was not impressed by his success.
The old man shook his head and said calmly:
"No, son, you are wrong."
"If she goes mad, it won't be you, or even the mad dragon, who will be the sinner. It will only be the Misty Monastery."
Herbert:!
Seeing the young man stunned, the old man continued: "The world will not care who you are. They will only know that the Misty Monastery released an evil dragon and allowed her to do evil in the world."
"By that time, even I won't be able to let her go again."
The archbishop's expression was calm, but Herbert felt a terrifying pressure that he could not resist at all.
The saint looked at the naive child with pity and ruthlessly announced the end of the evil dragon.
"I can only purify her...completely."
Chapter 118 Are you willing to go with me? (3/3)
In the Sealed Sanctuary, the old man looked at the young man lovingly, and there was no disappointment in his voice, but a hint of persuasion.
"My child, you have good intentions. You hope that Valentina can regain her freedom, and you also hope that the world can understand the truth that you know."
"But your approach is too naive."
Innocent…
Herbert gritted his teeth, forcing himself not to back down at this time, and struggled to explain again.
"But... Valentina won't."
"Your Excellency the Archbishop, you understand that too, right? Valentina is not a cruel and evil person, and she would not do anything that would hurt others easily."
The Archbishop must have understood all this, otherwise he would not have shown mercy to Valentina's men.
"I understand, but it's useless for me to understand alone. It's you who wants to take her out, not me."
The archbishop shook his head and sighed, "The question now is what can you use to guarantee her?"
"Can you really bear the cost of all this? Do you really have the ability to bear everything?"
"You are a smart child. You know it all in your heart."
"I..." Herbert opened his mouth several times to answer, but finally closed it silently.
Yes, he understood.
I am not qualified to make promises now.
