Alexander's Memoirs - Under the Rule of the Rat Chapter 10 Unfounded Doubts
Seeing that all the praying believers had left, Alexander walked towards Bishop Ronan, followed by Paion, Raphael and Brandon.
The moment he entered the church, Bishop Ronan, who had closed the canon, looked over and said in a deep voice: "I feel that someone among you is exuding an evil aura, but this aura is very weird."
Alexander can still feel the discomfort caused by the black loose crystal: "Ah, that is something I have been subjected to before... something similar to a curse. Excuse me, Lord Bishop."
"I can try purification, but I'm not sure if there is any danger when the breath is expelled by divine power. Do you want to give it a try?" The bishop seemed quite approachable.
Alexander was a little surprised: "Uh... thank you very much. Please give it a try, thank you." At this time, Alexander suddenly observed Bishop Ronan's expression on a whim.
Bishop Ronan seemed to start reciting a prayer silently, and Alexander always felt that something was wrong. Although through muscle movements, eyes, etc., Alexander believed that although the bishop was indeed serious about expelling him, he did not lie. But he felt that he might have an ulterior motive and cover up his truth.
Purpose.
Alexander hesitated for a moment, then pretended to pat the dandruff on his shoulder, turned his head and winked at the two people behind him, signaling them to be alert. Then he turned his head and calmly watched what happened. Pai Weng understood the meaning and put his hands between his fists.
On the other hand, Raphael remained calm. I don't know if he didn't guess it or if he guessed it but didn't make any unnecessary moves.
Then a burst of dazzling golden light was held up in the air by the bishop's raised hands, guiding it to illuminate the entire church. This scene was very spectacular and could be seen outside the church. Qiu Demi trembled his eyebrows when he saw this scene, as if he was enduring it.
What. After a few seconds, she returned to normal.
Alexander felt that the weakness that had been surrounding him had finally been expelled... Partly, the permanent damage suffered could not be easily recovered. After coming back to his senses, Alexander quickly thanked him and said: "Ah, thank you very much. Although I am not completely healed, but
I feel much better now." She breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no arrow hit the bishop's head just now.
"If you need to fully recover, I'm afraid you will have to accept a more powerful divine spell for treatment. That requires complicated rituals, and you have to pay the minimum material cost." Bishop Ronan looked at Alexander.
"Um, how much is it?" Alexander thought that he might as well ask before asking. It would be strange if he didn't charge any money.
Perhaps after calculating the cost of materials, Bishop Ronan was silent for a while and then said: "About one hundred and three paise."
"Well, although I don't have that much money on me, I just happened to bring a piece of business... It may not be appropriate to say it is business, but it is definitely worth more than this amount." Alexander showed his employment certificate.
Bishop Ronan looked over with a little doubt, and then he was completely attracted. "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it." He said in surprise, then took a step back and pointed to the small door through which Pastor Helena entered. "
I think we need to talk in detail and help you completely purify."
"Okay, okay." Alexander glanced at his companions behind him and checked to see if anyone was eavesdropping outside the church door. Then he followed Bishop Ronan in, staying alert at all times.
Seeing Alexander follow Bishop Ronan through the door, Brandon looked at him enviously but did not follow him.
Alexander didn't hear the footsteps of his companions coming up, so he waved to the others behind him to follow him.
"Let's go." Paion followed and entered the small door, followed closely by Raphael.
At this time, Brandon had already walked out of the church to chat with Qiu Demi: "I heard that the bishop and the leader defeated many evil enemies, and their cursed equipment was sealed under the church."
"Please wait a moment, I'm going to call my companions." Seeing that Bishop Ronan didn't stop him, Alexander acquiesced. Seeing that the two people outside the door had no intention of coming in, he quickly walked over and asked them: "What the hell are you doing? Come on, follow me."
superior."
"The guards cannot enter without the permission of the head." Brandon said sternly.
"Ah..." Alexander looked at Brandon in embarrassment: "If you follow the rules, there's nothing you can do about it. But Qiu Demi, don't fish here, come on!"
"Okay then..." Although there was a secret that couldn't be told, Qiu Demi had no choice but to nod and go in together.
"Go down and get the money." When the two came over, Pai Weng also pushed Hei, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.
There is a single passage inside the door, and you can turn at the end of the passage. The entrance to the confessional is on the left hand side of the passage inside the small door behind the podium of the worship hall.
Bishop Ronan led Alexander from the corner of the passage to the right. At the end was a door with a sign saying "Supply Reserve Room".
"Wait a moment." Bishop Ronan opened the door and could see that the cabinets on both sides took up a small space, leaving only a passage in the middle that could only accommodate one person. From the labels on each cabinet door, you can see
Take out the various materials stored in different categories in the cabinet - such as holy water, various spell scrolls, and even some food. At the end of the room is a set of tables and chairs, with oil lamps placed on the table, and several boxes of covered
Various powders and some medicine bottles.
Bishop Ronan's eyes scanned the rows of materials, and finally took out a small jar of powder from a cabinet marked with diamonds. He took the materials in one hand and pulled out a scepter from somewhere in the other hand and walked out of the room.
He calmly greeted a few people into the confession room, and placed the scriptures on the table in the room just now.
After signaling several people to enter the confessional, Bishop Ronan walked towards the corner of the passage and walked to the left.
Several people walked into the confessional, which was a small space with a small wooden partition wall and a stone chair for the penitent to sit on.
Soon the bishop walked from other rooms to the opposite side of the confessional, and then said through the wooden wall: "Sit here, relax your mind. Feel free to tell me about your experience, I am making preparations."
Alexander looked at the wall and hesitated, not sitting on the chair. He remained alert and ready to crouch down and dodge at any time and said: "My experience... I am a member of the third pioneering team of the Kandor Holy Empire sent to the rainforest.
We lost our memory when we arrived three days away from the rainforest. After entering the rainforest and exploring, we discovered unclean creatures.
Moreover, we discovered the second pioneer team that had arrived before but had become local indigenous people. Later, we discovered unclean creatures that had been cultivated under the ruins of a temple. After killing them, we obtained a black loose crystal,
After discussion, we believe that this is what gives the unclean creatures power.
When we were escaping by blowing up the place, we encountered a strange spellcaster who knocked down half of us. While we were fighting him, another adventurer named Sherlock and I had to eat it when we were gradually losing ground.
This kind of black crystal has received this curse, so it must be a curse. That’s basically it.”
The bishop asked a few more detailed questions. For example, what the unclean creature looked like, the physical properties he felt when he swallowed the crystal, and how Alexander felt afterwards. Alexander tried to tell whether he had heard this language before.
, it won’t happen to be related to that spellcaster.
After asking, Bishop Ronan opened a small window on the wooden wall and asked Alexander to put his hand over, and then put his own hand on it. Then he began to sing in sentences that sounded very awkward, and he seemed to be starting to cast a spell.
The most nervous Alexander tried to tell whether he had heard this way of speaking before, and whether it was similar to what the spellcaster in the rainforest was singing.
Although he could barely understand that a small part of it was a prayer, it was still decisively different from that of the spell caster, so Alexander decided to wait quietly for the spell to be completed.
Alexander felt that her weakness was completely eliminated. However, while expelling the feeling of weakness, a strange power quietly invaded the mental space, but she was unaware of it.
"The ceremony is over, you can leave first." Bishop Ronan's voice was a little tired.
"Um...can we go?" Alexander vaguely felt something was wrong, and asked as he opened the door: "But Mr. Bishop, is this the end of the conversation?"
"Of course, what I mean is that you go to the worship hall first. You report this to the emperor. I can exempt you from entering Silver City to register. Of course, you are the only one. In addition, I can let Brandon escort you. I think
Brandon will be very happy." After Bishop Ronan said this, several people heard his footsteps getting up and leaving.
At this moment, Alexander heard a very slight sound of gears turning under his feet. The source of the sound should be under the door of the confessional, which is directly under the corridor. Alexander just stepped out and wanted to listen more carefully, but the sound
No more ringing.
Seeing Alexander walking out, Paion thanked the bishop and followed him, followed closely by Raphael and Chudemi.
After all three of them walked out, Alexander closed the door of the confessional. She stood at the door of the confessional, pulled the three of them and put their heads together and said in a voice that could only be heard by each other, "This guy doesn't seem to want to pay."
.I will go up and ask, if you think the situation is not right, just hold him down?"
"I'm thinking that this kind of bishop-level priest...should be able to use magic to treat diseases." Pai Weng, who spoke in a low voice, turned a little pale.
Raphael nodded, and Qiu Demi looked noncommittal. It was Alexander who dared to say it, and these three people dared to do it - it was very characteristic of the town of Tours, but this was really not good.
Seeing that none of the three had objections, Alexander took the lead and walked to the path on the left side of the corner to see if the bishop was there.
If you listen carefully, you can hear the rustling sound of changing clothes coming from the locker room on the left side of the corner.
"Want to come? Take him by surprise while he changes his clothes." Pai Weng lowered his voice as much as possible.
Alexander shook his head and pushed open the door of the dressing room directly, looking for traces of the bishop. "Mr. Bishop, are you still there? I suddenly remembered that I wanted to ask something."
The four of them saw that Bishop Ronan had changed into a robe that was exactly the same as before. The previous robe was already soaked with sweat. "We can talk while walking, don't keep Brandon waiting." After saying this, Bishop Ronan walked away.
Come.
"Okay." Alexander waited for Bishop Ronan to walk in front, followed him and then asked: "Your Majesty, Bishop, I think the church can pay a sum of money to allow us to reach the capital smoothly. Then the church should also be able to get a sum of money from the empire.
The reward is a win-win cooperation. Your exemption from the material cost means that you admit that this information is valuable, right? Speaking of which, why did you purify the curse for me through the wall? Could it be that you took the opportunity to use some other spell?"
"What does cooperation have to do with me? Can conquering the rainforest show the glory of my Lord? As for being separated by a wall, I just don't want you to see my ugly appearance. Besides, this is a magical power, a power given by God, which can be abused in order to make profits.
The power of God is an act of blasphemy. It is only because you are doing things that benefit the town of Duer that you are exempted from the material fee this time." Bishop Ronan's tone was light but with a trace of majesty, but Alexander still felt that it was not quite right.
right.
"That's right...but you don't seem to want to answer my question directly..." Alexander thought about all Bishop Ronan's speeches from the meeting until now, looking for loopholes in his words: "Why do you seem reluctant to answer directly?
Have you tampered with the magic?"
Bishop Ronan glanced at Alexander with a half-smile: "I did peek into your memory, but you can rest assured that except for the fallen temple you destroyed, which is the experimental base of the evil spellcaster, I have no interest in anything else.
If you are a radical trying heretics, you will not be as gentle as me in order to confirm the information about the evil god. As for the reward, do you think there will be no record of the entry and exit points when you left the Silver City of Duer Town?"
"Then, in addition to the advanced restoration technique, I also released the detection of evil and several other magical techniques. Are there any problems?" Although Bishop Ronan was not excited, he still seemed to be unhappy.
"Sorry, I'm more sensitive. But, I never said that the Fallen Temple was the base of the spell caster? I'm not sure about this myself." Alexander felt the pressure, but still refused to give up.
"From the architectural style, it can be confirmed." Bishop Ronan walked to the small door of the worship hall and turned back to look at the four people.
Alexander stared at the bishop's expression carefully but saw no flaws. He could only think that Bishop Ronan was being frank. But these questions relieved him of several doubts. Perhaps he could also take the opportunity to ask him about the spell caster. After all, he was
The Church of the Holy God says that the caster is evil.
"Ah. Oh, that's right." Alexander lowered his head in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Lord Bishop. I, I... am used to this routine in this business. I'm sorry I misunderstood you."
"It doesn't matter, my Lord taught me to be kind to others." Bishop Ronan opened the small door, and Brandong stood outside and stared at this side.
Alexander walked out dejectedly without saying a word.
"Radical? Do you mean very radical in terms of chasing down evil people?" Pai Weng had already put down his hostility, so Pai Weng asked.
"Most oathbinders are much more persistent than priests." Bishop Ronan explained.
"Persistence... Thank you for your hard work, Lord Bishop." Although he didn't trust the bishop's behavior of randomly probing other people's memories, Paion still thanked him for helping Alexander, and then followed Alexander outside the church.
Go.
During the verbal exchange, Raphael's hand on the sword at his waist loosened and tightened, then tightened and loosened again. Now he could finally follow Qiu Demi out.
"Brandon, you go find Davis later. Just tell him that I have something to do with him, and then come over with Davis." Bishop Ronan gave him an order.
"Yes, Lord Bishop." Brandon subconsciously stood at attention and said, then trotted off. This chapter has been completed!
