"Lord Ruibo, please don't talk about His Majesty the Pope casually. The gods are watching each of us." Another person immediately said in an unusually pious tone.
When the priest known as "Lord Ruibai" heard this, he immediately changed his tune and replied: "What you said is that I was rude."
Soon, the topic of the two of them shifted away from the Pope, and instead shifted back to the handling of the four people at the scene.
From what they said to each other, Benjamin gradually understood that the bishop and the pope were out of town for some unknown reason, and most of the priests were also temporarily absent due to various matters. Now there is not even a person in charge within the church, so the two priests are a little undecided.
Father Ruibo believed that they should immediately block the gates of the royal capital and strictly restrict the number of people entering and exiting every day until they found out who the murderer was. Another priest believed that such a reaction was too drastic and would cause panic among the people, so it was better to leave the whole matter until the bishop and the pope came back.
The two insisted on their own opinions and argued so hard that Benjamin even felt like he was listening to a debate. Both sides quoted various scriptures. Although one side was radical and the other conservative, both sides were so firm that they had no intention of giving in.
Therefore, Benjamin could only wait aside.
Noise slowly, and when you are tired, go for a drink of water or something, and his opportunity will come.
These two people couldn't find him anyway, so this was an excellent eavesdropping position.
Benjamin was in no hurry. In fact, from the debate between the two priests, he could also learn quite a lot of information that was difficult for outsiders to know. For example, the priest he killed was the young man the bishop was most optimistic about, and he was even expected to take over the position of bishop in more than ten years.
Therefore, it was actually a big deal for this priest to be killed quietly.
It seems that I accidentally made another big news.
Thinking of this, Benjamin shrugged innocently. He didn't mean it, and he didn't intend to disrupt the church's promotion plan.
Not only that, he also inexplicably heard a hint of secret joy in Father Ruibo's words. It seemed that this man was secretly happy about the unexpected death of the priest.
Unexpectedly, while the bishop was still alive and well, the fight for his successor had already begun.
Benjamin couldn't help but sigh that the struggle within the church was so fierce.
Beyond that, in addition to those internal church movements, they even mentioned Michelle. Father Ruibo cited Michelle as his argument, saying that an overly conservative approach would allow criminals to go unpunished. He also said that it was because of too many scruples that Michelle had fled abroad.
When he first heard it, Benjamin actually refused.
Michelle fled abroad? What the hell
However, Father Ripper was serious about what he said, and the other priest did not question this at all. If Benjamin hadn’t just met Michelle, he might have actually believed it.
It seemed that Michelle had played another trick and deceived the church people. Now, they all thought that Michelle had fled abroad, so they naturally relaxed their guard against Michelle.
No wonder no one came to protect Benjamin anymore.
The church is really strange. It always has the upper hand in major events involving nobles and mages, but it always makes mistakes in judgment in such small details and is fooled and misled by others.
In this way, Benjamin was here eavesdropping on the church's first freshmen debate competition, while waiting for the opportunity to come. Finally, after half an hour, their argument came to a halt due to an unexpected interruption.
"My lords, hundreds of drunkards suddenly appeared at the door of the church, shouting and sleeping on the steps. We suspect that the nobles secretly hired a group of people to deliberately cause trouble."
A paladin hurried into the room and said this to the two people who were still arguing.
As if a "free debate time is over" came from the referee, the two people stopped talking at the same time.
At the same time, Benjamin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.
The nobles actually started causing trouble again.
Hearing this, Benjamin was also a little speechless. The lower limit of this group of nobles is also low enough. What kind of trouble are they going to make if they find a group of people to cause trouble in front of the church
Is it possible that they think that by relying on this despicable method, they can make the church surrender and remove the listening cross on their children? It’s too beautiful to think about.
"What's there to ask? Just like the nobles who protested this morning, a group of drunkards, just drive them away." Father Ruibo turned around and gave casual instructions, obviously not taking this seriously.
"But, sir..." the paladin hesitated for a moment, and then said, "These drunkards are not afraid of trouble, and there are so many of them that it is difficult to drive them away. And in front of so many believers in the church, it is difficult for us to use force. Now. There is no one in the church who can direct us, and we don’t know what to do?”
Hearing this, the other priest did not give any instructions. He just shook his head and sighed: "These nobles have no sense of honor even if they can do such a thing."
Father Ruibo thought for a while, then suddenly turned his head and said to the other priest: "Let's go back to the church with him to deal with this matter first, and then leave it to me. Our original task is to stay in the cathedral, we can't Let this happen."
However, after hearing this, the priest shook his head again.
"No, you have to go back with me." His tone was extremely firm. "The bishop put me with you because he hopes that I can balance your impulses. If I leave, how will you handle things here well? ?”
Father Ruibo immediately retorted: "If I follow you back, what will I do here?"
"We can use magic to preserve the scene and let the Paladins seal it off. We will make a decision after the Catholic Lord and His Majesty the Pope return tomorrow."
"How does this work..."
The two priests got into an argument again, and they had to argue for three days and three nights. Seeing this, the Holy Knight on the side also looked in a dilemma.
But Benjamin, who was hiding in the secret passage, saw a glimmer of hope in this argument.
Swear to God, he will never laugh at the short-sighted behavior of the nobles again. If the nobles hadn't sent people to make trouble in the church, he wouldn't have gotten the opportunity he had now, would he
The conservative priest was just what he wanted. If he can win this debate and take this radical Father Ripper back to the church, then Benjamin’s spoils will be within easy reach!
However…
The two argued for another ten minutes, but still couldn't reach an outcome.
Benjamin had a look of despair on his face and almost started to yawn.
…How long will the quarrel continue
Fortunately, at this time, another paladin came here, with a more anxious look than the previous paladin, interrupting this long debate again.
"It's not good, the number of people making trouble is still increasing, and the remaining people in the church can't stop them. If this continues, they will storm into the church!"
Hearing this, the two had no choice but to stop arguing.
Benjamin was also surprised. How could these nobles do this? Not to mention the possible retaliation from the church, the cost of hiring so many people is certainly not a small sum.
If it was just a small fight before, now they can bring some trouble to the church.
From what they said, the church had just sent out all the priests. Originally, these two people were responsible for staying behind, but they came here because of unexpected events. Therefore, no one in the cathedral can make up his mind at this moment.
If the rioters really broke into the church...
That would be fun.
Benjamin couldn't help but start to gloat a little.
Things have priorities, and the death of a priest is certainly a big deal, but compared with the threat of the church being breached by rioters, it becomes a trivial matter.
Obviously, Father Ruibo also understands this truth. Therefore, at this time, he could only agree with the other priest's method, put aside the matter at hand, and the two of them returned to the church together.
In this way, Benjamin squatted at the entrance of the secret passage, almost without doing anything, waiting for the opportunity he needed.
My luck is not so bad after all.
The priest cast a magical spell on the corpses of several people, seemingly to preserve the scene and prevent them from decaying. Then, they asked a paladin to guard the door of the room, and the two hurriedly left, heading towards the church.
The two priests left.
In the blink of an eye, there was only one paladin left in the room.
