When Annan heard this, his eyes widened in surprise: "Are you a regular bishop?"
Although he did think that Bishop Daryl would give him some benefits.
But he didn't expect that the fat bald man would give up his position directly...
Soon, Annan realized something.
He slowed down and asked softly: "What about you?"
"Of course I want to go back to the royal capital. Originally, I am not from Beihai. The climate here is too humid and cold for an old man like me."
Daryl shrugged, took out his pocket watch and checked the time. He raised his head again and looked at Annan eagerly: "How about it, Lord Lord?
"You just need to name it, you don't need to really change your beliefs - Sir Silver does not insist on such ritualistic things, as long as it is good for the development of the church, it is enough. Moreover, the beliefs of Sir Silver and the cold-blooded lady are not the same.
Do not conflict."
"Um……"
Annan pondered.
He thought for a moment, stretched out, stood up, put on his clothes and put on his coat.
He opened the window of the room, and the cold air rushed in. The air in the bedroom could wake up his brain.
Annan squinted his eyes and took a few deep breaths of cold wind.
He turned back and looked at Bishop Daryl again, who was waiting for an answer.
There was no trace of sleepiness in his eyes, and he became calm and indifferent again.
Annan pointed to the stool next to the tea table in the bedroom and motioned for Bishop Daryl to sit down.
"Please take a seat...Mr. Bishop."
He said respectfully, and then walked to the door: "I'll make you a cup of tea."
At this time, Annan did not choose a more affectionate name, but adopted a business-like attitude.
Afterwards, Annan temporarily left his bedroom.
He walked on the road, thinking to himself.
Annan saw it clearly.
Although perhaps most of the reasons for this invitation were because he had received the Holy Light Seal from Sir Silver.
——But there is indeed a temptation hidden in Bishop Daryl’s words.
His invitation was actually divided into two parts.
One is "named in Sir Silver's church", while the other is "serving as a district bishop in the North Sea Territory".
Just the one in front.
But "Annan Winter" will not accept the latter one at the same time.
Because he is the only heir to the Grand Duke of Cold Winter and the future Grand Duke.
It is impossible for him to hold such a high position in the church of a neighboring country—or even an enemy country.
This will definitely make the people of Cold Winter doubt Annan's decision-making. It will also become an excuse for others to attack Annan... It will even become the decision of the grandmother's priests in the Principality of Winter to leave the Grand Duke's camp, and at the same time begin to weaken the
The motive behind the political act of the Grand Duke's authority.
Of course there are benefits.
The biggest advantage is that he can get the strong support of Sir Silver and the protection of the entire church.
No one dares to attack a righteous bishop, let alone a district bishop who is half a level higher than the bishop.
After all, they are different from the nobles.
If a noble is successfully assassinated, other nobles may jointly issue a wanted notice and then start to attack the victim's family. After all, their interests far outweigh their responsibilities.
The church is different.
All priests of the righteous god have the common responsibility of purifying nightmares.
Any priest who dies outside the nightmare is a huge waste of resources.
Because not everyone has the talent to become a priest.
If someone kills a priest, it's equivalent to the other priests suddenly being asked to work overtime at short notice: to complete the work of your colleague who burped, and they can't leave until they finish.
There is no doubt that this will attract the hatred of all clergy.
——We are busy, what are you causing trouble?
Therefore, even if they don’t know each other or are not even priests who believe in the same righteous god, once they hear that someone in their diocese has killed a righteous priest, the bishop of this diocese will find a way to find out the murderer and directly
Kill or transfer to the diocese where the incident occurred.
And the responsibilities of bishops are even more important than those of priests.
Their mission is to regularly clean up nightmares above the Silver level in the diocese to prevent ordinary people and innocent extraordinary people from straying into nightmares.
In other words, they are playing high-difficulty courses.
Frozen water ports are a special case.
According to Salvatore, attempts were made to crack this nightmare forty-five years ago, but all failed.
In the end, the bishop had no choice but to do the next best thing and seal the "key". So only Louis, an ordinary priest, was needed to guard it.
It was a surprise if he could be purified, but it didn't matter if he couldn't. I didn't expect him anyway.
After all, it is a twisted nightmare.
Nightmares of this level can easily lead to life-threatening dangers. Either they will be corroded by the curse and turn into a monster that is neither human nor ghost, or they will be bound by an extremely harsh curse and be haunted by the curse and die.
Being a bishop is a truly high-risk profession.
You will naturally gain people's respect.
Annan learned from Salvatore that twelve years ago, a nobleman in the Kingdom of Noah hired a killer to murder the bishop because his hoarding plan was deliberately sabotaged by the bishop and he lost all his money.
.
In the end, the killer was wanted across the country and was arrested within five days. Even the nobles involved in the murder had their territories confiscated, their titles stripped, and they were exiled from the country.
Even if the bishop really has bad character or has committed a heinous law, he will usually be arrested after trial and sent to a "distorted" level or even higher nightmare to constantly purify the nightmare.
Use this to squeeze out the last remaining value of existence.
-- and kill them before they turn into monsters.
Therefore, it is a very serious sin to murder a healthy and sane bishop.
This is truly "wasteful" behavior.
Because not all "keys" to nightmares are physical.
For nightmares at the Distortion level and above, the key is usually something weird.
For example, "say the word 'skeleton'", or "open the door to a house with a frozen fish weighing more than seven pounds", or "say twenty-three different words in one day."
Name" and other weird conditions.
The bishop's duty is to solve this nightmare.
Because if the key to the nightmare is announced, ordinary people will try to become extraordinary, break into the extremely difficult nightmare, and die tragically; or some people will simply take advantage of these strange conditions to carry out silent and deliberate murders.
Although at sunrise, nightmares are dispelled.
But not everyone who enters a nightmare for the first time can survive until the sunrise...
Moreover, ordinary people have almost no conscious awareness in nightmares. It is as if they are really in a dream.
For them, this is just a more realistic nightmare of "death".
And if ordinary people really become extraordinary people... they will often lose control, be counter-cursed or die in accidents, becoming a new nightmare.
——In this way, the number of nightmares actually increased!
Therefore, controlling the number of nightmares and continuously reducing them is a very important and long task.
As Salvatore said.
If you want to step onto the extraordinary road, you must have the corresponding talent and determination.
Because of the cold weather and sparse population in the Northern Sea Territory, nightmares are not common here, so the bishop is not too busy.
Just Daryl, the district bishop, is enough to suppress all high-level nightmares in the diocese without the assistance of other bishops.
on the other hand……
That is, if their bishop dies suddenly, the entire Northern Sea Territory may be thrown into chaos.
Therefore, as long as Annan becomes the bishop of the North Sea Territory.
Whether it is the enemies from the Kingdom of Noah or the hostility from the Principality of Winter, it will end here. The premise is that as long as Annan does not step down from office.
Then the conclusion is clear.
If Annan accepted this condition, it would be equivalent to exposing that he was not sent by the Principality of Winter.
——But he is being hunted by the Principality of Winter.
