Chapter 166 (2/2)
The little priest's expression was very helpless and seemed to be a little sorry: ”although it may not be appropriate to say so, it is impossible for me, an ordinary trainee priest, to shoulder such an important task.”
”Moreover, bishop Fabian is old and may be illuminated by the Holy Cross at any time. Many priests are ready to compete with Lord Francis for the position of bishop. How can he trust others to do things involving a new parish?”
With his right hand supporting his chin, the black haired wizard had a little more clarity in his eyes.
Loren remembers how proud the fascists were at the beginning, and even the church guard had to serve him - but now the situation is so critical that he must use this means.
Obviously, the events of vimpal college had damaged the reputation and power of fascism, so that other priests dared to challenge the position of his bishop's successor.
At present, he urgently needed some opportunities to make up for his losses, so he targeted the elves - if he could take this opportunity to bring all the elves in the morning star forest and even the eastern forest into the arms of the Holy Cross, he would be qualified to become a new bishop just by virtue of this merit!
Even if he did not succeed, he had worked hard and proved his piety and how ”loyal” he was to the Holy Cross, and there would be no loss, so why not?
Therefore, the whole ”missionary” incident is a risk-free gamble of fascism - it's good to win, and there will be no loss if you lose, and you don't have to be present in person, just appoint a priest who doesn't attract much attention.
Like the one in front of me
”I will carry out the orders of Lord farnesis as far as possible, but I will not force the elves.” the little priest shook his head: ”forcing or even blackmailing to kidnap others is definitely not what a holy cross believer does!”
”But I'm here today for another thing to tell you, Lord Loren Turin.”
The little priest's expression suddenly became dignified: ”in fact, I once met Lord Dalton kand just before coming again. Should you know him?”
”He's my mentor.” Lauren nodded, and a bad feeling came to his mind: ”what's the matter?”
”He... Had an accident.”
The little priest yanked his throat. ”I know it's strange to say this, because I just met him, but he did disappear - I visited vimpal college afterwards, and he hasn't gone back since that day!”
”Then how are you sure that something happened to him?” Lauren narrowed his eyes. ”Maybe he's just going away. His tutor often needs to work in other places.”
”Because someone told me this personally and asked me to convey it to his apprentice - that is, you, Lord Loren Turin.”
The little priest became more and more flustered, obviously frightened: ”Lord Dalton kand was caught by that man and detained - the only condition for the other party to release him is that you go there in person, otherwise...”
”Or what?”
”Otherwise, he will do something... Irrational - that's what he said!” the little priest's expression was tangled: ”I was going to tell you when you recovered, but...”
”No, it's very suitable!” Lauren pressed each other, and the corners of his mouth tilted slightly - but even the little priest in front of him could feel his killing intention.
”My patient needs to move his muscles and bones!”
