Chapter 19: Olufei's Suspicions
"Presumably you're Serent's Clerk Trainee, aren't you?" Completely shocked, Celent turned a deaf ear to Alfie's exclamation, and had no idea when the cardinal had finished praying, and when he came to his senses, the cardinal had already walked in front of him.

Alfie slipped away from Sellent when he recognized the cardinal's identity, he was not sure if such a power would discover his secrets, and the female knight's interested gaze swept over him from time to time, making him feel uncomfortable.
Selent, who reacted, quickly knelt on the ground and replied while saluting, "Lord Hui, I am Serent." ā
Sellent trembled with excitement, and he was honored and surprised that the Cardinal knew the name of his little trainee priest.
The Lord knows the message of all his people. The cardinal seemed to see through Celrant's thoughts, and explained warmly.
Does the Lord know his message?Silent looked up excitedly when he heard the cardinal's words. Then he immediately realized that this was extremely rude, and quickly lowered his head again, restraining his urge to ask.
"You don't have to be polite, you can see that you are a very devout pastor, and I didn't expect that there are still such devout believers in such a remote place. The cardinal smiled.
"You're overrated. Servant saluted respectfully and rose from the ground.
At this time, Priest Dylan, who was holding the canon behind Bishop Olufi, stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Lord Olufi, are you staying here tonight?"
As soon as Celent heard that the Cardinal might spend the night here, he immediately put aside the etiquette that Bishop Flon had taught him, and eagerly rushed in front of Bishop Olufi and said: "It will be my honor, and you will grant me this supreme honor no matter what." ā
Dylan glanced at Celent dissatisfied, a hillbilly is a hillbilly, and it was rude to talk to the cardinal.
The cardinal waved his hand slightly, stopping the rebuke of the priest Dylan before he could speak, and ordered: "Dylan, you go and prepare, I want to talk to this Celent alone." ā
Presenting Dylan with a warning look, Dylan bowed to the cardinal and bowed respectfully with the others. Perhaps it was a delusion, but Celent felt that the Dylan priest he met for the first time had a kind of hostility towards him.
"Celent, could you please accompany me to the edge of the Monster Forest outside the town?" Bishop Olufi asked, and after coming here, the familiar smell of the undead became a little stronger, and he could already feel the general direction.
"That's my pleasure. ā
After receiving Serent's affirmative answer, Bishop Olufi walked out of the town without hesitation, and Serent followed the cardinal about three paces behind him.
"Selent, you must be very curious about why I'm here, right?" asked Bishop Olufi, who had not spoken all the way, after leaving the town for a mile or so.
"I don't dare to speculate. Celent replied cautiously.
"I just heard a beautiful hymn praising the Lord, and I wonder which master bard is here?"
"It's not a master, that's my good friend Alfie, he's about my age, and he's far from being a master. "By contrast, Celent is much more modest than Alfie.
"Oh, so young, it's amazingly talented, you'll definitely introduce me later. Bishop Olufei said with a little surprise. Although when he first heard the hymn, Bishop Olufi knew that the bard was probably not very old, but he did not expect to be so young.
"That's our pleasure. ā
"Mr. Elfie's hymns are just one of the things that drew me here, and more importantly because of that. As he spoke, the cardinal handed a note to Serent, "Open it and take a look." ā
Sellent obediently opened the note, only to see that it read: "Sailant: Vincent is in trouble, I need to leave for a while, the church will be entrusted to you." Fren. Snow Moon 11th. ā
"It's Bishop Flren's handwriting!" Celent recognized at a glance. Judging by the date, it was the day he rescued Alfie, Bishop Fren, who went missing.
Why did this note, which was supposed to be given to him, end up in the hands of the cardinal?
"The question in your mind is also my question. This note mysteriously appeared on my desk almost a month ago, do you know what that means?" the cardinal's tone became serious.
Silent bowed his head, not daring to speculate, his experience could not yet guess the seriousness of the matter, but he knew very well that this matter was not something that his little probationary priest could mix in anyway.
Bishop Olufi didn't seem to want an answer from Celrant either, and continued: "Celent, I have found an unexpected aura in this note. Do you know what the breath is?"
Celent answered Bishop Olufi with a questioning look.
"That's the breath of a necromancer!" Bishop Olufi said angrily, "Do you know how long the necromancer has been extinct on the mainland? That's the result of how many Holy Cult disciples have traded their lives!But now, the breath of a necromancer actually appeared on a note from a bishop to his students! How can you explain this?"
Intentionally or unintentionally misled by Dielan, Bishop Olufi unconsciously began to have a little suspicion of Bishop Flon Fern.
The cardinal was furious! Celent was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground, could it be that the cardinal was suspicious of Bishop Flren? This is absolutely unacceptable to Celent.
Bishop Olufi paused and said in as calm a tone as he could, "Now, Trainee Priest of Serent, can you take a closer look and see if there are any clues related to this?"
Clue Celent certainly has, and more than one. Whether it's the mysterious parchment scroll, the appearance of the necromancer, or the attack of the skeleton warrior, or even the resurrection of Alfie may be important clues, but should the cardinal be told about this series of events?
The trade-offs are hard to grasp for Celent, who is only fifteen years old.
"Looks like you're recalling something?" the cardinal saw Serent's hesitation.
"More than a month ago, I was attacked by a necromancer, who sent a skeleton warrior to attack me......" Celent hesitated for a moment, deciding to tell the cardinal about his encounter with the necromancer and skeleton warrior, while concealing the parchment scroll and Alfie's resurrection, both of which were suspected of violating the doctrine in any case.
"Is there such a thing? Take me to the place where you are fighting. "Bishop Olufi didn't expect this little apprentice priest to be so promising, to see a necromancer with his own eyes, and even to solve a skeleton warrior himself!
