Chapter 124 Beauty was robbed (2)
I was feeling a little bored by these messy emotions, but I heard footsteps coming in my ears. Benjamin raised his head and saw Priest Ethan standing at the door-
"Sir, Lord Bishop."
He greeted him, but there was a strange look on his face, as if he had just seen something incredible. Seeing Benjamin looking at him, Priest Ethan stuttered, "Sha-Sally, Sister Sally, she... is back."
"Come back?"
Benjamin suddenly stood up, and a rock in his heart fell to the ground: "Where is she? How did she come back?"
"I-this is what I want to tell you," Ethan Sir, swallowed, "She was escorted back by a team of knights, as if... of the Russiflon family, that..."
"Knights of the Russiflon family? I saw that Titus and the Knights of Wellington appeared in the square, probably they were."
Benjamin waved his hand and was about to step out of the room to meet Sally, but heard the priest beside him whisper: "They seem to be - scouts..."
Benjamin, who had already taken two steps, didn't hear it clearly, turned his head and asked in confusion: "What?"
"I mean, they, they seem to be scouts of the Russifron family."
When Ethan's words fell, Benjamin's expression seemed to be punched. He cried in surprise: "You say it again? Scout?"
"What's wrong? Benjamin."
Rubens, who was writing a letter, was alarmed by his voice, raised his head and raised his eyebrows and asked.
"No—it's okay, it's a nun in the monastery who just returned here. I'll check it out, Lord Superintendent."
He replied respectfully, but the shock and surprise on his face could not be concealed at all. His eyes looked at Ethan several times, obviously he thought of something in his mind, but he couldn't believe it. In the end, he walked out of the monastery with big strides, whispering vague words in his mouth-
"How is it possible...how is it possible..."
I was thinking about the captain of the scout team just now, but now I heard Ethan say that the scout team of the Russifron family escort Sally back. Such a "coincidence" is indescribable...thrilling.
It was already dark, and a torch for lighting was lit in front of the monastery. The scene on the street was blurred in the dim environment. However, when Benjamin walked out of the church archway and looked forward, he immediately widened his eyes-
He swallowed, turned his head and asked the Priest Ethan who was following him: "You say these people... are scouts?"
The latter nodded with difficulty and replied in his voice: "This is how they introduced themselves..."
"Have you seen such a scout?"
Benjamin's mouth twitched. He felt that today's chaotic assassination had already made his mind very confused. When he saw these knights like a steel jungle, his mind was even short-circuited.
Twenty-nine scouts were equipped with neat armor, with bloodstains in their hands, and even gaps cut by swords. Although the overall equipment was not as good as the Templars, the bloody smell that had been through the battlefield for a long time came to their faces. When they looked over from a distance, the formation was neat and unremarkable.
Their silent attitude makes people feel even more weird.
Bishop Benjamin took a breath and walked closer, but saw the neat team starting to split the sides with a "slam". Under the orange light of the torch, the long swords on the waists of the knights flashed with cold light. When the horses moved, the sound of the armor rubbing was filled with invisible oppression...
Priest Ethan originally followed the bishop, but at this time he stopped suddenly because of the abnormal movements of these knights.
Then, under the leadership of Soderol, Sally rode out of the middle of the team until in front of the monastery gate, the two of them turned over and dismounted and slowly came to Benjamin.
"Hello, Lord Bishop."
Soderol said hello in a formal manner, as he was polite, but he had no other movement except this sentence, and the other scouts rode on the horse and didn't even want to see the bishop wanting to salute.
This obviously represents a certain attitude.
The priest's face changed a little. He had never seen any noble private soldiers in Hollier City who could be so arrogant. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was stared at by one of the veterans with a fierce expression and swallowed the words unconsciously.
But after standing still, Sally did not say hello to the bishop. Instead, she turned around and whispered to the scouts: "Thank you for your escort."
Then she turned her head and politely politely to Benjamin and said, "Sir, I'm back."
This attitude finally made the atmosphere in front of the monastery awkward. Since Benjamin "runs away" Roddy, Sally has been a little cold to him. After experiencing such a thing, Benjamin also understood that all this was his own mistake. He opened his mouth to say something, but after seeing Sally's robe stained with blood, his eyes condensed and sighed: "It's good to be back..."
He raised his eyes and swept, but did not see the expected figure - and Sally next to him seemed to see what Benjamin was thinking, but said without any hesitation: "Today it was Captain Roddy who brought people to save me, but he thought the sect had many misunderstandings about him, so he didn't follow him."
To outsiders, this sentence is just a simple statement, but to Bishop Benjamin, he really feels that his old face is slapped several times...
Sally's meaning is very obvious: With such a big incident, it was Roddy who turned the tide and saved the crisis, and Roddy who saved her from Frances... People can do this, but what have you gone earlier than
Faced with such "question", Benjamin really had nothing to say, and he was indeed very regretful in his heart - but he was not a narrow-minded person who could achieve such a position as the bishop. Although he was a little embarrassed at this time, he would not feel any humiliation or anger - after all, it was Roddy who saved his life from Rubens, and he could clearly distinguish right from wrong.
Fortunately, although Sally was angry, she was not mean. She also understood that she could enter the monastery to avoid Francis' assassination. After all, she said a few words in a gentle tone, leaving a step for Benjamin. The bishop was naturally happy to answer the conversation, and immediately asked Priest Ethan to take Sally back to the monastery.
Then, he stayed in front of the gate and faced the twenty-nine scouts who had not left yet.
Soderol, who had never spoken, raised his eyes and continued to remain silent, while the remaining scouts were still riding on horseback and looking down at the bishop.
"Forehead--"
Benjamin wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he happened to see Sodlor's machine-like indifferent expression. He immediately felt that he shouldn't have said too much nonsense. After thinking for a moment, he finally whispered: "Thank you to Captain Roddy for me, I... owe him a favor."
Such a low attitude is not easy for a respected bishop.
However, there was no extra expression on Soderol's face, and he just nodded, and then he said a few formulaic farewells, which meant "I will tell him" or something like that. After turning around and boarding the horse, he and the scouts almost disappeared into the night.
Looking at their backs, Benjamin sighed lightly and shook his head, as if he was feeling a little ridiculous about some of his thoughts a long time ago: "With such a subordinate, how could he be a simple character..."
When he stepped back, he remembered the blood spilled on Sally's robe, took a breath, felt the faint smell of blood in the air, and whispered: "It seems that the battle between the Russiflon family... is completely over."
The scouts left, and the bishop turned back to the monastery, and the silence enveloped the clearings in front of the monastery again, but no one noticed the tall figure standing in the shadow not far away.
The Knight Wellington, with a bearded face, seemed not interested in the departing bishop at this time. Instead, he looked at the group of scouts who left in an orderly manner, stroked his beard with interest, and whispered to himself: "I have some tricks... these guys."
As the night became deeper, mist gradually began to rise in the city.
Not a hundred meters after the scouts left the monastery, Roddy's figure appeared silently in the team - he actually always followed the team, but he just hid aside when he was in the monastery.
Speaking of which, Roddy always felt unhappy with Benjamin - even after he eliminated the misunderstanding with Sally, it was difficult for him to eliminate the disgust of the bishop. However, now it can be solved in this way, for both sides, it is already "happy for everyone".
He vented his anger, and Benjamin admitted that he owed someone, which was already the result of his good deeds to Roddy.
I was wondering where to use Benjamin's relationship in the future. He led the team to the Campbell district on the wide road - this action was his personal opinion, so there was no reimbursement for food and accommodation in the Duke's Mansion.
"How to arrange it next?"
Soderol asked, grabbing the reins.
"I stayed here for a while, so I knew some cheap hotels. Let's go to have a comfortable rest first. Let's talk about tomorrow's things tomorrow. The locations are all good today."
Roddy touched the wallet on his waist, but sighed, feeling that the money he had finally made with Kemara beast scales had almost been spent, and then asked quickly: "How much did you spend this way? How much tax is paid?"
"It's been smooth all the way, but the taxes in Kiger Town are higher, but after hearing that we were scouts of the Russiflon family, we still gave us a discount."
Soderol's words also resonated with Ruger next to him. He continued: "Vissue Tlanca is probably crazy about being poor. The tax amount is very abnormal. If this continues, no one will go there soon."
