At the same time as this sound sounded, the system prompt also appeared:
[You have used the Soul Planting Technique. After the Soul Seal matures, you can control the target! 】
At this moment, Jiang Chen had no time to care about the soul seal, but immediately followed it.
From the rear left, four people wearing rough linen cloaks, simple straw sandals and holding dead vines were seen approaching.
These people have sallow faces and thin muscles, and their bodies look like withered bodies.
He looks like a poor beggar.
However, the withered vine in their hands was shining with a faint light, emitting waves of energy.
Obviously, this is a staff.
Moreover, the owner of the staff is very powerful and obviously not a poor beggar.
"This is... an ascetic from the Holy See?"
Looking at these four skinny men, Jiang Chen murmured in surprise.
In the Holy See of Light, there is a very special kind of existence called the Holy See Ascetics.
The ascetics belong to the Inquisition and are members of the violent organization of the Holy See.
However, they generally do not appear in the public eye and rarely perform tasks.
Because although the ascetics apparently belong to the religious tribunal, they are not subject to the unilateral jurisdiction of the local tribunal and have a special status.
Jiang Chen remembered that in his previous life, a scholar-player who specialized in studying the Holy See system wrote an article about the ascetic monks of the Holy See.
According to the information, there are ascetic monks in the religious tribunals of each major royal city, but the leader of the tribunal cannot directly order these ascetic monks.
The bishop and church leader of the local church need to issue a joint order to use the power of the ascetic monks.
For example, the ascetic monks at the Qiantian City Religious Judgment Office need Hall Master Gewei and Bishop Bai Dingyang to issue orders together before they can act.
The clothes of the people in front of them were basically the same as those of the ascetic monks of the Holy See, wearing linen clothes and straw sandals and dead wood staffs.
But why did the ascetic monks from the Holy See come to the City of the Abyss?
While thinking about it, Jiang Chen put on the Heart Hiding Stone.
No matter whether the other party can read minds or not, as long as they are from the Holy See, they must be extremely careful and deal with them cautiously!
"What did you just do to the monster corpse?"
One of them, a skinny man who was slightly older, about forty or fifty years old, approached and stared at Jiang Chen and asked.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Chen frowned slightly and said, "Who are you?"
Suddenly, a voice came: "They are bright ascetic monks."
Not far away, a figure slowly walked towards here.
He looked to be less than thirty years old, wearing a red robe and holding a scepter in his hand.
You can tell from the dress that this is a red archbishop!
The information shows that his name is [Benedict].
"Benedict... the youngest cardinal of the Holy See of Light, and the most promising person to succeed to the throne of the Pope!"
Seeing the other party's name, some information about him quickly emerged in Jiang Chen's mind.
There are only four red archbishops in the Holy See of Light, and Jiang Chen knows more or less about them all.
Moreover, this Bishop Benedict is the most active among the archbishops and often appears in the player's field of vision.
It gives the impression of being extremely approachable.
"Who is your Excellency?"
Jiang Chen pretended to be confused and asked.
"I, Benedict, am an ordinary believer in light."
Benedict had a peaceful look on his face and said slowly: "This is the first time we have met the mortal saint, and I have admired you for a long time."
Jiang Chen was not surprised that the other party knew him.
He even doubted whether Benedict came to find him?
"I have admired you for a long time and dare not take it seriously."
After a pause, Jiang Chen smiled and said: "Your Excellency is wearing the red robe of the Holy See, how could he be an ordinary believer in the light? Right, Bishop Benedict?"
"The position of bishop is just a responsibility. As a believer in the light, everyone is equal and everyone is a member of the general public."
Benedict's tone was gentle, sounding very sincere and contagious.
Even Jiang Chen had to praise him, he was really good at deceiving him!
Of course, I can only say this in my heart.
“Bishop Benedict is really caring and thoughtful!”
Jiang Chen flattered him, and then asked: "By the way, why did Bishop Benedict bring the ascetic monks here?"
"Of course I have a mission."
After saying that, Benedict's eyes narrowed slightly and he stared straight at Jiang Chen and asked, "By the way, I have a question. What did you just do to the monster's corpse?"
"Is something wrong?"
Jiang Chen looked puzzled and said, "Why are you all asking me about the corpse?"
"If I read it correctly, you just used a spell on the corpse, right?"
Benedict's tone was obviously a little more serious.
"That's right!"
Jiang Chen nodded very calmly.
Hearing this, a trace of surprise suddenly flashed across Benedict's face.
He didn't expect Jiang Chen to admit it so generously.
So much so that he couldn't help but look at the giant python corpse in the square again.
After watching for three or four seconds, Benedict said: "Don't you know, your Excellency, that any spell used on a corpse is an evil spell that is not allowed by the Holy See?"
"Furthermore, you are also a member of the Holy See of Light. This kind of thing will be subject to internal judgment!"
It can be seen that Benedict's expression is obviously much more serious and he is not joking.
"Wicked... are on trial?"
Jiang Chen was shocked, he didn't expect it to be so serious.
"well……"
Benedict suddenly sighed, looking a little sad, and said slowly: "Mortal Holy Envoy, you probably have to come with us."
"Um?"
Jiang Chen's eyes froze and he immediately said: "Impossible, I still have tasks to do now."
Take a trip? Are you kidding me?
As soon as these words came out.
The four ascetic monks beside Benedict immediately took a step forward and raised the withered vine staff in their hands with indifferent expressions.
On the side, Youina quickly grabbed Jiang Chen's clothes and took a step forward!
There is light surging in his hands.
"Ina!"
Jiang Chen quickly shouted, this little girl is so brave!
"slow!"
At the same time, Benedict also stretched out his hand to stop a few people, and said slowly: "I'm just taking them back for questioning, but I won't take action. What do you think, mortal holy envoy?"
I said a ball, I said.
This is too stupid!
Jiang Chen couldn't help but cursed secretly, his mind was running rapidly now, trying to find a countermeasure.
That is at this time.
An old and hoarse voice suddenly sounded:
"If you have any questions, just ask here."
As soon as these words came out.
Not only Jiang Chen was stunned, Benedict and the four ascetic monks also suddenly looked solemn.
