Chapter 49 (2/2)

Did you believe it, or did you know it from the beginning... Lauren sneered at the bottom of his heart, but his face was a deep blue of gratitude: ”I'm really grateful. Although I'm a wizard, I'm still a son of the Holy Cross - since I'm all devout believers, I shouldn't be treated differently because of my different identity!”

”Yes, I think so too!” the little priest nodded excitedly: ”believers should not be different because of their identity. We are all the same humble souls in front of the Holy Cross, and we are all lambs eager to go to heaven!”

”It's just... Whether father Anthony or Lord Francis, they don't support my point of view.” the little priest shook his head with some regret: ”maybe it's just my wishful thinking...”

”No, no, no, you're not wrong. They're just imprisoned by the thoughts of the past. Your idea is the future.” Loren looked at the little priest very firmly: ”believe me, this idea will become more and more popular in the near future - so don't doubt yourself, stick to it!”

”Er... Thank you.” the little priest nodded, ”but I don't think you should be so disgusted with the fascist talent - after all, if his soldiers hadn't arrived in time last night, we might not be able to sit here and chat, would we?”

Huh?

Loren was stunned for a moment, then recovered his gratitude: ”ah... You're right. Fortunately, they came in time, otherwise I don't know I can't breathe.”

”Everyone is also very grateful to them.” the little priest showed a ”sure” expression: ”this is the warrior protected by the Holy Cross. It will always be so reliable!”

The smiling Loren and the little priest were chatting without a word. By the way, they tried their best to find out the situation outside, the recent rumors in Gumu Town, and what the fascist cabinet was doing here.

Although the little priest knew almost everything, he was only a trainee priest and could not know much about it. I'm afraid that the fascist adult deliberately arranged to visit him here to dispel his vigilance.

”Bang --!”

The door was knocked open, and the frightened little priest almost cried out. He quickly shut his mouth after seeing that it was the follower of Lord Francis coming in.

”Lord farnesis wants to see you, wizard.” the entourage looked at Lauren with disgust, and even his name was too lazy to say, ”now!”

”Yes.” with a formulaic smile, Loren stood up and walked forward casually - the other party was the knight who almost killed himself last night, and obviously remembered his ”rudeness” at that time.

After seeing Loren following up, the indifferent Knight turned away without even looking at the little priest.

After taking Loren outside the door, the knight stopped and didn't go forward. Lauren nodded slightly and was ready to go forward. Before he could go far, the knight's right hand suddenly pressed Lauren's shoulder from his back, and suddenly tried to crush his shoulder blade.

”You should know what to say and what not to say in front of Lord Francis.” the knight's cold voice came: ”your Lord may forgive you, but I won't.”

”I understand the sense of propriety.” struggling to bear the pain in her shoulder, Lauren smiled and said, ”please believe me. I won't say a word in front of that adult. You can rest assured.”

”You'd better understand what you're talking about, wizard!” the knight loosened his hand. ”Under the light of the Holy Cross, all evil and magic will have nowhere to hide!”

”Let me borrow your kind words, knight.” Loren took the opportunity to relax his shoulder. ”In fact... I am also a devout believer of the Holy Cross.”

Of course, whether they are devout believers of the Holy Cross ”church” remains to be discussed.
