Chapter 71

On the night of the arrival of the elves, the Holy See shrine was full of white lights. The next day, Priest Lyle was summoned by the Pope to have a secret meeting. Then, in the early morning when the people of the gods were asleep, a low-key carriage left Paris with more than ten knights. Lokaya.

"What did the old man tell you?" Leaning on the back of the chair, Xie Qiao said lazily. The carriage, which had become extraordinarily stable due to magic, moved forward at a constant speed, which made people drowsy due to boredom. The high priest who has never left the capital of God, he is actually willing to let you out alone."

Ever since Li Ziwei conspired to reveal the reality that day, Xie Qiao could no longer change back to the invisible illusory state before. Forcibly hiding in Baitang's sea of ​​consciousness was too painful and risky, so that day Baitang went to find the old man. The pope didn't take Xie Qiao with him, but left him alone in the temple.

"No matter how much you love a child, it can't compare to the reputation of the Holy See." Bai Tang quietly turned a page of the book. The journey was boring, so he brought a few specially made magic manuscripts to pass the time on the road, "If this time I really If the Red Moon Disease in Iris Town can be solved, the reputation of the Holy See will definitely be greatly improved."

"But he didn't let you treat the elf princess." Xie Qiao narrowed his eyes and commented conclusively, "It really is a kind-hearted old fox."

"But I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Li Ziwei's gourd, not to mention where she got the visible medicine that I can't do anything about, just say that this time you went to the border to save people to gain reputation, she is still sitting on her head There is no movement, there must be something tricky in it that we haven't seen through."

"Didn't it mean that she has an elder brother who is the best among the twelve seats? It is also expected that she will have some special methods." With a teasing smile, Bai Tang turned his head to look at Xie Qiao, "I can't I still remember that when someone saw Mingyue in a tavern, he shrunk down and hid his wristband in despair."

Dare to distort the facts and make fun of himself, Xie Qiao reached out and knocked on someone's forehead: "Nonsense, it's obvious that I don't want you to be exposed to those 'god servants' too early."

Noticing the red marks on the center of Baitang's brows that were so faint that they were almost imperceptible, Xie Qiao frowned: "It's strange to say, I usually go to your sea of ​​consciousness a lot, why did something go wrong these few times?"

"No, there must be something weird about that power that the deity hasn't discovered."

"In my eyes, you are very normal, and the distribution of breath is just right." Xuxu used his hand to outline Xie Qiao, who was made up of dark red lines in his own world, and Baitang paused, then quickly withdrew his fingers.

The warm touch of his fingertips was still there, and he actually touched Xie Qiao's face.

Just a second before Xie Qiao was about to open his mouth to tease something, Bai Tang twitched his head and stretched out his hand to cover the other's mouth: "I have been walking for a few days, and when I arrive at Iris Town, I will help you find a fair and honest person." The identity that appears in front of people."

"Okay," the breath that is much higher than the temperature of the skin gently sprinkled on the palm of Baitang's hand, Xie Qiao opened and closed his lips and teeth as he spoke, pecking lightly on Baitang's hand with each stroke, "Then the deity is Wait for the host to send me a title."

The crisp and itchy touch made Baitang's earlobe stained a little red, he retracted his hands and lowered his eyes, for a moment he lost his usual hard-talking awkwardness.

If that person is Xie Qiao, he seems to be getting closer and closer to him unconsciously.

"Are you angry with this deity?" Xie Qiao asked knowingly, looked at Baitang's side face, and pretended to squeeze out a hurt voice, "We have known each other for so long and still despise this deity, little host, you are a clean freak. It hurt me deeply."

Baitang lost his eyesight, so he couldn't see Xie Qiao's stern smile. He knew that Xie Qiao was probably pretending to be pitiful, but as long as the other party complained so wrongly, Baitang felt that he was As if I did something wrong.

It's crazy, did he stay with Xie Qiao for too long and become stupid?

"It's not disgusting." Unconsciously squeezed the palm of his hand, Baitang coughed lightly and opened his mouth. Just as Xie Qiao was waiting for the other party to say something, the carriage that was moving at a constant speed suddenly stopped.

"Master Priest," Lawrence's respectful voice sounded outside the carriage, "Iris Town has arrived."

The carriage engraved with magic has a good sound insulation effect. If Lawrence hadn't used magic sound transmission to enter, the quiet surroundings would not have made Baitang aware that he had arrived at his destination.

Mouthing to signal Xie Qiao to find a chance to sneak out of the carriage to look for him, Baitang stretched out his hand to push the door, and got out of the carriage gracefully.

The surroundings were dead silent, and the air was filled with traces of bloody aura. If Baitang hadn't heard the whispers in the corner with his ear, he would almost have thought that he had arrived in an empty city where no one lived.

Opening the domain to describe the surrounding situation, Baitang followed Lawrence into the small church in front of him. He could feel that the church was very deserted, and only one of them had a faint power of light.

The door of the church, which had not been visited by anyone for a long time, was slowly pushed open. The middle-aged man kneeling in front of the idol and praying looked back, and immediately opened his mouth in disbelief.

The bright but non-glare sunlight poured in through the open door in large swaths, and the young man with no decorations except for the white robe and the cloth strips on his face stood against the light, seeming to dye this dilapidated and desolate church with a layer of holiness. .

The man staggered to his feet, dragging his numb legs after kneeling for a long time, and stammered a few times rather comically: "Ji...Master Priest?"

"Are you Priest John?" Baitang asked softly, and made a sign of the cross on his chest, "Priest Lyle, it's an honor to work with you."

In this world with underdeveloped commerce and trade, small towns on the border generally don't develop very well, let alone a place like Iris Town, which has no characteristics and has outbreaks of strange diseases. It is enough to have a priest and a church. The limit of what the Holy See can do.

As a native of Iris Town, John, except for going to Barocaya when he took part in the priest assessment, spends the rest of his time in the humble church praying to the goddess. However, no matter how closed the news of the town is, John still knows that the Pope The adults adopted a child more than ten years ago.

The blind child called the Son of God.

Trapped in memory, John blankly replied with a polite sentence. When he came back to his senses, those knights in gorgeous dresses had already roughly tidied up the church, and he himself sat in his room at some point.

"Lawrence and the others are still tidying up the rest of the rooms, can I borrow your room to talk about the current situation?" The young man said politely, his every move was full of kindness that made people feel good.

Many rooms were arranged on both sides of the church according to the specifications, but he was the only priest in Iris Town, so those rooms were left unused. John nodded and said it was okay, and then suddenly remembered the inconvenience of the boy and added: "My honor .”

"You seem to be surprised by my arrival." Baitang roughly judged the other party's emotion from the voice, and asked tentatively, "Did the Pope not send a knight to inform you?"

"I'm afraid not," John calmed down and replied seriously, "I have never received any instructions from the Holy See."

so secretive?Baitang's heart skipped a beat, he only knew that the old pope had concealed his whereabouts from most people, but Baitang didn't expect that the old pope didn't even notify the only priest stationed in Iris town.

"I guess, it might not be a big deal." Swiping away the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Baitang brought the topic back to the situation in the small town, "The church is so empty, isn't there a single patient in the small town that needs treatment?" ?”

"Of course, many people in Iris Town have contracted that damn crimson disease," John gritted his teeth resentfully, and smiled helplessly, "but my light magic can only treat minor injuries and ailments." , the effect on the red moon disease is really low."

"The Holy See also sent some priests from big cities to support them before, but it didn't take long before they either went crazy, or left the town in despair."

Having said that, together with the old Pope's instructions before leaving, Baitang has already roughly understood the current situation of Iris Town.

Although the Holy See of Light is essentially a religious organization, because it has the right to speak in half of the continent, in a sense, the Holy See is also a country, and the priests and bishops in it are officials of this country.

Priests are also human beings, and if they are human, they will be afraid of death. If they fail to achieve "political achievements", they will risk their lives. This is undoubtedly a business that loses money. Baitang understands the behavior of those priests that John said very well, and also understands that the old pope will The purpose of his sending here.

As the source of the Red Moon Disease outbreak, as long as he can solve the troubles in Iris Town, the Holy See of Light will definitely be famous for it.

It's just that the old pope had too much trust in his ability.

"What about the other townspeople?" Baitang recalled the scene when he got off the carriage. "This is the land blessed by the Goddess of Light. Why is there no believer willing to come to the church to pray?"

"Even...they still have an inexplicable hostility towards me."

"This..." I didn't expect Baitang to be so keen without his eyesight. John hesitated, and finally told the truth, "The death and retreat of the previous priests made the townspeople mistakenly think that this place has been abandoned by the goddess. , Even if I, a useless priest, keep guarding the church, the number of believers who come to pray is less than one day."

"Also," swallowing his saliva, John said cautiously, "The race that believes in the goddess of life seems to have been redeemed."
