Chapter 138: Singing

Clergy, as in other professions, were transferred three times.

The first time I changed jobs, I was a pastor.

The second job change is a sacrifice.

The third change was that of a priest.

In the Holy See system, there are different names for the clergy.

The seminary is responsible for the training of priests, who are called priests, nuns, and can run a small church in the diocese. The clergy, who did not have a fixed jurisdiction, were called missionaries, and they were more than willing to walk around and sow the glory of the Lord rather than stick to one place.

When the priest has gained enough experience to become a priest, he is given the title of "bishop", who can preside over all the churches in a city in the diocese and introduce new seedlings to the seminary. Bishops generally do not become missionaries. In the Episcopal congregation, a part will be absorbed into the cardinals and have the potential to become archbishops.

In the cardinal's office, there are three archbishops, all of whom are priests. Basically, unless something as big as the "night of tears" happens, the priest will not leave the cardinal. The priests obey the will of the Pope, manage the affairs of the Church, and have an important say in the development of the Holy See.

Morning.

Astant, the capital.

Protin boiled hot water and helped Oliver wash up before tidying up his makeup. said that she was tidying up her makeup, but she didn't have any makeup, and she just washed her face with cold water. She says it tightens the skin (if only it could get rid of two nasolabial folds). After washing her face, her eyes were very bright. While tying her headscarf, she said, "Are you ready?" ”

Oliver nodded silently. Is he ready? Be prepared to be pointed out and spoken? For now he is going to open the door and go out into this wind-blowing world, and show his mutilated limbs to the world.

Suddenly, he stopped walking again, thinking: No, that would bring shame on the teacher...... Even if I cut off the relationship, people still habitually associate me with the teacher. "Lord Lancelot's students have become like this", "Lord Lancelot's life is bright, and the students actually assassinated Marshal Scott", "He is insulting, Master Lancelot will definitely sweep him out of the house"...... Once he appeared in front of people, these words would come in an endless stream, hurting both him and the teacher!

He hated so much, hated Scott. Why didn't [Absolute Noise] come at your chest, throat and head? Why do you want to let me go? No, it's not a way to live, it's still a dead end! I am like a fish with its fins clipped, like a bird with its wings cut off, like an arrow that has lost its feathers! No matter how you go, it's a dead end.

Thinking of this, he whispered, "I'm not going." ”

Protin tied his belt for him, and he didn't hear clearly at such a close distance, so he asked casually, "What?" ”

"The teacher still hasn't said anything in the past few days, right?"

Protin stopped and looked him in the eye: "Yes, but you must not take it to heart." ”

"Haha, that's true." He sneered, leaned back, widened the distance between him and Protin, and his eyes were full of discouragement: "Even if the teacher is hurt, he can endure it for fifty years, how can he stand up for me?" After all, the stability of the whole country of Astante will be better than mine. Hahaha, when I used to stand in a high position, I always took it for granted; Now that I'm abandoned, I'm barking like a dog with unwillingness. ”

"What do you say! How can one compare oneself to a dog! Protin was a little displeased: "Aren't you happy to hear that Mr. Lancelot didn't act rashly?" Get up quickly, it's too late, and someone else might take my place. I managed to get that intersection with a lot of difficulty. ”

"I'm not going today." Oliver lay down on the bed.

"Oliver Quinn, you have a bit of ambition, you're a quasi-hero!"

"Don't mention any quasi-heroes! I'm just a piece of waste now, and if you hadn't been so kind as to take me in, I'd have died a long time ago! I wish you hadn't saved me! Oliver yelled, his face reddening.

Protin gritted his teeth and stepped forward to pull Oliver up, trying to pull him up: "You are yelling at your savior? You treat a lady so roughly? I'm so disappointed in you! Are you worthy of your title? ”

Oliver twisted his face, his body moved, and he just didn't let him pull it up: "Why do you accuse me!" I don't want to go anywhere now, and no one wants to see me anyway, do they?! ”

"That's enough, broken jars, aren't you? A forty-year-old man is such a wretch, I blush for you! Protin shouted this, and suddenly found a teardrop on Oliver's cheek, and couldn't help but be stunned, and the next words were stuck. She let go of her hand and sat down on the edge of the bed.

It was a long time before Oliver said, "I'm sorry. I promised you, but I broke my promise. I'm really useless. ”

Protin didn't answer, but suddenly began to sing, which sounded like heaven to Oliver, who was good at music appreciation. Although a person is middle-aged, Protin's voice is softer, clearer, more beautiful, and more charming than that of a girl. She sings with her heart, without lyrics, but she sings to the bottom of people's hearts. In the flowing song, a picture slowly unfolded in Oliver's mind:

It was a vast starry sky, with countless stars twinkling, and Orion and Scorpio could be seen in the distance. Under the starry sky is the same vast prairie, with long blades of grass swaying gently in the wind. Oliver was standing on the prairie when a strong wind swept in on him, and waves of rolling grass swept past him. His two empty sleeves swayed like wings stretched out in the wind. The wind was refreshing and pleasant, and it blew into Oliver's heart and then into his limbs.

When the song ended, Oliver was still reluctantly thinking about the image. He suddenly felt open-minded, all depressed, irritable, inferior, gloomy, angry, annoyed, sad, disappointed...... Sweep it all away! It's amazing that this kind of singing can purify people's hearts, make people feel comfortable and free! This is the song of the divine, this is the song that brings happiness and beauty!

"Your singing voice is so good...... It's simply an angel's song. ”

"I told you that my piano skills are not worth a thousand gold coins." Protin smiled, quite amorous: "The songs I sing are worth a lot." Okay, are you feeling better now? ”

Oliver moved his legs and smiled, "Let's go." Help me put on my shoes, thanks. ”

In the same city, the Lancelot Mansion......

The king sat and stared at the man behind the bamboo curtain. To stop Mr. Lancelot from leaving, he hadn't closed his eyes for three days. When the gentleman slept, he sat outside the door with a blanket; When the gentleman was eating, he also sat opposite him to eat. All in all, the venerable king had almost abandoned his dignity as a king, and he had never left the graceful Lancelot.

The royal steward stood anxiously beside the king. Although he and a group of chamberlains have been taking care of His Majesty for the past few days, His Majesty's condition is getting worse and worse (and his mouth is full of anxiety), and it is never a way to go on like this. His Majesty has also made it clear that if Mr. Lancelot does not give up his revenge, he will not go anywhere.

"Your Majesty, go back." The man behind the bamboo curtain sighed.

"It's up to you whether I can go back or not, sir." Hearing the other speak, the king immediately came to his senses and looked at the other nervously. But after a while, he didn't hear the man's reply, he smiled, and his tone was lost: "In the name of me and this country, can't I make you change your mind?" ”

"You can't imagine how strong the will of a hero is. Whether in life or after death, we will never give in. Lancelot said lightly.

"Then why did you endure pain for the first fifty years? Isn't this a disguised submission? ”

"Because it was my rights and interests that were sacrificed at that time. I am a victim, and I am the only one who has the right to drop the charge against Scott. But I'm not Oliver, and I can't die for him. ”

"You're treating it differently." The king immediately said, "Yes, you can't die for him, but have you thought about itβ€”did you consult Oliver?" Maybe he doesn't want you to go to war with Scott? ”

"I know Oliver better than anyone. He is the pride of the sky, and he has not suffered hardship. When the aura on his body is stripped away, he will feel extremely painful and even collapse. Your Majesty, you must know ......" Lancelot's voice was chilling: "I have lost only my eyes, but Oliver has lost my hands. He must be burning in pain and anger at this moment, and he even hates me because I did not speak for him. His hatred is longer than the Via Rope Mountains, sharper than the 'Key Mountain'. ”

"But you don't have to go to war, do you?" The king lamented. Although Lancelot has been in seclusion for a long time, he has many connections, and his students are all high-level elites, and the power of his cohesion cannot be underestimated; The same is true of Scott Thornmas, who has been in business for so many years, so that the army is densely populated with henchmen, and the hidden power is also very strong. Once the two sides decide to go to war, the battle will really turn into a local war. At that time, the capital will be destroyed, and there will be countless dead and wounded! Maybe it's not that the end comes, two stars that will never meet, but it is because these two stars meet that the end will come! Thinking of this, the king broke out in a cold sweat: "Think about it again, don't complicate things!" ”

"Is it complicated? The child is being bullied, and the parents come forward to ask for justice, which is not complicated at all. Lancelot laughed, and rolled up the long rope, intending to get up.

Just then, a courtier hurried in. In the days that the king left the palace, it was this courtier who sent the documents for the king to read, and then sent them back to be sent everywhere. However, the king was now in a hurry, and where could he greet the courtiers, he also got up and wanted to block out of the bamboo curtain.

The courtier didn't pay attention to this imminent situation, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Divine Punishment Knight Jonny refused to treat Oliver, he said that the [Healing Technique] is very advanced and can only be used by priests. He only knows the [Holy Healing Technique], and he can't do anything. ”

Priest! Where to find a priest to come! Send a letter to the cardinal's office and ask the other party to send someone? Just kidding, how could the archbishop cross the ocean and come to the "gospel" continent to save a wasted person!

For the first time, the king did not know what to do.
