"Let me be the bishop of Roseburg?"

When Annan heard this, his eyes widened in surprise: "Bishop?" ”

Although he did think that Bishop Daryl should give himself some favor.

But he didn't expect that this bald fat man would directly give up his position......

Soon, Annan realized something.

He slowed down and asked softly, "What about you?" ”

"Naturally, I want to go back to the royal capital, and I am not from Beihai originally. The climate here is too humid and cold for me as an old man. ”

Daryl shrugged his shoulders and pulled out his pocket watch to look at the time. He raised his head again and looked at Annan with some urgency: "How, lord?"

"You just need to put your name on it, you don't have to really change your faith - Sir Silver doesn't force such ritual things, as long as it is good for the development of the church. And the beliefs of the Silver Sir and the Cold-Blooded Lady do not conflict. ”

"Hmmm......"

Annan groaned.

He thought for a moment, then stretched and got up and put on his clothes and coat.

He pushed open the window of his room, and the cold air rushed in, and the air in the bedroom cleared his mind in one fell swoop.

Annan squinted his eyes and took a few deep breaths of the cold wind.

He looked back at Bishop Daryl again, who was waiting for an answer.

There was no 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 Darryl to sit down.

"You may be seated...... Your Excellency the Bishop. ”

He said respectfully, and then walked to the door: "I'll go make you a cup of tea." ”

At this time, Annan did not choose a more intimate title, but took a business-like attitude.

Annan then left his bedroom for the time being.

He walked down the road, thinking to himself.

Annan saw it clearly.

Although perhaps most of the reason for this invitation is because he has received the Holy Light Seal of Silver Sir Silver.

But there was a hint of temptation in Bishop Darryl's words.

His invitation is actually divided into two parts.

One was "named in the church of the Silver Sir Lord" and the other was "bishop of the North Sea Territory".

That's all for the first one.

But "Annan Winter" will not accept the latter one together.

Because he is the only heir of the Grand Duke of Winter, the future Grand Duke.

He could not have held such a high position in the churches of a neighboring country, or even a neighboring country.

This will surely make the Winter people suspicious of Annan's decision-making. It will also become an excuse for others to attack Annan...... It may even become the motivation for the clergy of the Old Grandmother on the side of the Duchy of Winter to decide to leave the camp of the Grand Duke, and at the same time in turn begin to weaken the authority of the Grand Duke.

Of course, there are also benefits.

The greatest advantage is that he can have the strong support of Sir Silver and the protection of the whole church.

No one dared to attack a righteous bishop, let alone a district bishop who was half a rank higher than his bishopship.

After all, unlike the aristocracy.

If a nobleman is successfully assassinated, it is possible that the other nobles will turn around and start mending the murder's family after jointly issuing a wanted notice. After all, the interests between them far outweigh the duties.

And the church is different.

All righteous clergy have the priority of purifying nightmares.

Any clergyman who dies outside of a nightmare is a great waste of resources.

Because not everyone has the gift to become a clergyman.

If someone kills a priest, it's the equivalent of the other priests suddenly being given a short notice to work overtime: to finish the work of your burping colleague, and not to leave work if they don't finish it.

There is no doubt that this will attract the hatred of all the clergy.

- We're busy, what are you messing with?

Therefore, even if they do not know each other, they are not even clergy who believe in the same God. However, once he hears that someone in his diocese has killed a priest of the righteous God, the bishop of this diocese will also find a way to find out the murderer and kill him directly or transfer him to the diocese where the incident occurred.

And the bishop's duties are even heavier than those of the clergy.

Their mission is to regularly clean up the parish of nightmares above the Silver Level, and prevent ordinary people and innocent transcendents from straying into nightmares.

In other words, they are all high-level and difficult.

Frozen water ports are a special case.

According to Salvatore, attempts were made to solve this nightmare forty-five years ago, but they all failed.

In the end, the bishop had no choice but to settle for the "key". That's why only Louis was an ordinary priest to guard.

It's a surprise to be able to purify, and it doesn't matter if you can't, I didn't expect him anyway.

After all, it's a distorted nightmare.

Nightmares at this level are prone to life-threatening conditions. Either they are corrupted by the curse and become a monster that is neither human nor ghostly, or they are cursed and cursed to death.

Bishop is a truly high-risk profession.

Naturally, people will respect it.

Annan learned from Salvatore that twelve years earlier in the kingdom of Noah, a nobleman had hired a killer to murder the bishop, because his plan to hoard goods was deliberately sabotaged by the bishop and left him with no money.

In the end, the killer was wanted by the whole country, and he was arrested on five days. Even the nobles involved in the murder were confiscated from their territories, stripped of their titles, and exiled from the country.

Even if the bishop did have a bad character, or committed a heinous law, he would usually be arrested after the trial and sent to a "perverted" or higher nightmare, which was constantly purified.

In this way, the last existential value is squeezed out.

— and kill them before they turn into monsters.

Therefore, the murder of a healthy and sane bishop is a very great sin.

This is a real act of "waste".

Because not all the "keys" to nightmares are physical.

Nightmares of the distortion level and above the distortion level, the key is usually something bizarre.

For example, "pronounce the word 'skeleton man,'" or "open the door with a frozen fish weighing more than seven pounds," or "say twenty-three different names in one day."

It is the bishop's duty to solve this nightmare.

Because if the key to the nightmare is announced, there will be ordinary people who try to become transcendental, break into the nightmare of super difficulty and die tragically; Or maybe someone simply takes advantage of these strange conditions to carry out a silent and deliberate murder.

Although at sunrise, nightmares will be dispelled.

But not everyone who enters the nightmare for the first time makes it to sunrise......

And ordinary people are almost unconscious in nightmares. It's like it's really in a dream.

For them, it's just a more real nightmare of "dying".

And what if there really are ordinary people who become transcendental...... They also tend to lose control, be cursed or die in an accident, becoming a new nightmare.

- In this way, the number of nightmares has increased!

So, control the number of nightmares and keep making cuts. It's a very important and long job.

As Salvatore said.

To embark on the path of transcendence, you must have the talent and determination to do so.

The North Sea Territory is sparsely populated because of the cold weather. Nightmares aren't very common here, so the bishop isn't busy.

Just one district bishop of Daryl is enough to suppress all the high-ranking nightmares in the diocese, without the assistance of other bishops.

Conversely......

Even if their bishop died suddenly, the entire North Sea Territory would probably be in a mess.

So, as long as Annan becomes the bishop of the Diocese of Beihai Ling.

Whether it's an enemy from Noah's kingdom or a hostility from the Duchy of Winter, it will end here. The premise is that as long as Annan does not step down.

Then the conclusion is clear.

If Annan accepted this condition, it would be tantamount to revealing that he was not sent by the Duchy of Winter.

— but is being hunted down by the Duchy of Winter.
