62. The Old Gods and the New Gods

Gustav and Ronoye sat down under the eyelids of Bishop Upton, and the bishop's kind smile brought the wrinkles on his face together like extra folds.

After being brought here, the two waited in the conversation room next to the dining room, and when the meal was served, they were invited directly into the dining room, and the bishop sat in the middle and welcomed them with a smile.

Without Gorando with him, Ronoye finished his meal tastelessly, and after the meal the Bishop invited them back to the conversational room, as if he wanted to say something, and waited for them to start talking.

Ronoje restrained the ** who asked about Gorando's current situation, and first explained the purpose of their visit to the royal capital - to meet with the high priest.

The bishop naturally asked them why they were meeting the high priest, who was the bishop of the Holy See, and if someone wanted to see the high priest of the Holy See, he asked this question to observe their duties.

However, Ronoye's mouth was very tight, he shook his head, and said with a regretful look: "No, I can't sue you for the time being." ”

"If you don't give your reasons, it may be difficult for me to arrange for you to meet with the High Priest." Bishop Upton looked embarrassed.

Faced with the embarrassment of Bishop Upton, Ronoye duly took out the letter of recommendation that Brother Orwin had written for him.

"Don't worry about this, my lord, my eldest brother has already written a letter of introduction for me."

With this letter of recommendation written by the "Knight of the Gods" himself, no one could stop Ronoye from meeting the High Priest.

Bishop Upton's face stiffened for a moment, presumably Orwin hadn't mentioned the letter of recommendation when he asked him to pick up Ronoyer and the others.

Seeing this, Ronoye felt a little relieved, worthy of his cautious eldest brother, even in front of his former mentor, he would never reveal half a point.

Bishop Upton took a few seconds to straighten his expression,

Ronoye was slightly stunned, did he want to give the letter of recommendation to Bishop Upton?

He had read the letter of introduction beforehand, and Orwin's choice of words was so clever that it would be difficult for anyone other than those who knew about the Prophecy Child to read the letter, but Ronoyer was still not comfortable letting Bishop Upton know the contents of the letter.

"What, don't you trust me?" Bishop Upton asked kindly.

"No......" Ronoye came back to his senses and shook his head again, "The envelope has already been waxed, and it can only be opened by the priest's own hands. ”

"When the time comes, if you hand over this letter to the Holy See, it will still pass through my hands in the end, so it is better to let me read the contents now, and then hand it over to the high priest when you arrive in the royal capital."

Bishop Upton was right, as if it were logical.

"This ......" this time it was Ronoye's turn to be embarrassed.

At this moment, a voice interjected, breaking the stalemate between Ronoye and the Bishop of Upton: "After resisting the royal capital, we will personally hand over the letter of recommendation to the personal attendant of the priest, Lord Bishop, this matter is very important, the fewer people involved the better, we do not want you to be involved in this dispute." ”

It was Gustav who spoke.

Gustav's words were both true and false, but they also made Bishop Upton unable to refute them, and the corners of the latter's eyes immediately became a little embarrassed.

Ronoye glanced at his second brother gratefully.

"If there is nothing else, Ronoye and I both want to rest early, after all, we may not be able to be idle after arriving in the royal capital." Gustav said again.

Bishop Upton could not find a reason to refuse Gustav, so he waved his hand and asked several clerics to send the two young masters of the Duke of Amphilos away.

The two of them returned to the guest room, and halfway through Gustav stopped Ronoyer and asked him to follow him to his room.

Gustav glanced at the clergyman who had sent them here, then turned to Ronoye and said unabashedly: "I have something to tell you. ”

Immediately, he chased away several clerics with his eyes, and led the somewhat confused younger brother into the room. He opened the curtains that had been covering the floor-to-ceiling windows, and it was so dark that he couldn't see his fingers, and he couldn't find the moon or the stars.

Pointing to the empty night, Gustav asked Ronoye: "Can you see the route of the flight?" ”

"I can't." Ronoye replied honestly, "You can only see it during the day." ”

For this reason, the helmsman of an empty ship usually uses magic to set the course of the night during the day, so that the night voyage must be a little slower than during the day.

After listening to Ronoye's words, Gustav closed the curtains again, he took out his staff and waved it in the air a few times, and a bright green map suddenly appeared in the room.

"Isn't this the route map for the captain's room?" Ronoyer was surprised.

Gustav admitted: "I got it yesterday from old Eugene. ”

Eugene was at the helm of the small airship, and this roadmap is certainly his masterpiece.

In the turquoise map there is a thin line marked bright yellow, which is the route that Eugene has set for the night flight of the small airship, and there is a slow-moving red dot in it, which is of course the small airship itself.

"Can you see the problem, Ronoye?"

Gustav's question sounded in Ronoye's ears, and he squinted and looked at it carefully for a long time, and said puzzledly: "Then ...... What's wrong? ”

"You use the mantra of wayfinding for this road map, and you use this empty ship for the anchor point." Gustav said.

Ronoye came to his senses and hurriedly did so, and after reciting the incantation, another blue dot immediately appeared in the floating road map, and this blue dot ...... and the red dot are obviously not in the same place.

Ronoye was horrified: "What's going on?!" ”

Shouldn't their airships be following the empty ships of the Holy See? How could it be so far from an empty ship?

Gustav let out a breath and removed the route map from the air: "Do you know what the problem is, Ronoye?" ”

"Bishop he...... Where are you taking us? Ronojane said.

There is no possibility that there will be a problem with Eugene's route, and whatever route the Holy See's empty ships take when they come should also be the same route, otherwise it is likely to collide with other empty ships, so they are not going to Eulenny now, but are taken in another direction by the empty ships of the Holy See!

Ronoye was so shocked by the discovery that he couldn't accurately describe his mood at the moment. Golando's suspicion was confirmed, and this was the real aftermath of the Inquisition's "prompting", and now he had to conclude that Bishop Upton was having an affair with the Inquisition.

However...... He still found it hard to believe that the bishop of the Holy See harbored evil intentions.

- How could it be that even the powerful Bishop of Upton betrayed the royal family of Ferga? He's the Bishop of Upton who single-handedly turned Orwin into the "Knight of the Gods"! Anyone can betray, and Bishop Upton is one of the least likely to betray Fergar, isn't he!

"If that's what I said, I ...... before"

Ronoye clenched his fists.

The assassins who had infiltrated the Royal Academy of Magic to plot against him...... Did the Bishop bring it all with him?

No wonder he and Big Brother Orwin couldn't find any results no matter how they investigated, if it was really Bishop Upton who did it, of course they couldn't find out the results!

Ronoye gritted his teeth and ran to the door: "I'm going to find the Bishop!" ”

He knew that he couldn't be impulsive at this time, but he still wanted to ask, he wanted to ask Bishop Upton why he betrayed Fergar, he was obviously a servant of God, could it be that he had abandoned the God he had always served?

Gustav allowed Ronoye to run out of the room, and he followed him after Ronoyer's figure disappeared.

Ronoye ran all the way to the bishop's chamber without stopping, pushing away the soldiers and clerics who had come to stop him, and rushed straight to Bishop Upton.

Bishop Upton was praying, and when he heard the movement behind him, he turned slowly, still smiling kindly, and asked him with his eyes what he was doing.

Ronoye took a few breaths and asked with difficulty, "Your Excellency, can you tell me where this ship is heading now?" ”

"Where? Isn't it the royal capital? "Bishop Upton is still playing dumb.

Ronoye said: "Nonsense, it's not going to the royal capital at all!" Our airship and this ship are not in the same line at all! ”

"I see." Bishop Upton frowned, and explained unhurriedly, "We have taken a safer route, a little detour, but the destination is of course Ullenny. ”

"Don't lie! Since the Holy See is driving an empty ship, and the combat power on the empty ship is so strong, there is no need to change direction at all! Ronoye's eyes turned red as he spoke, and his voice became hoarse, "Your Excellency, where do you want to take us?" ”

Ronoyer trembled with anger, and he remembered that he had first met Bishop Upton at a court banquet as a child, when the eldest brother Orwin was just an ordinary Catholic, and Bishop Upton praised his eldest brother in front of the Grand Prince, and when he saw him, Bishop Upton lovingly touched his head and blessed him with divine power.

He was so tall at that time, and he remembered that the Bishop's hands were calloused, but they were very warm......

Such a person...... Why did he betray Fergar?

"Ronoyer."

Gustav's calm voice flowed through Ronoye's heart like a clear stream, pulling him out of the abyss of rage, and Ronoye closed his eyes and steadied his crumbling form.

Yes, he can't mess around, he needs to be calm.

Ronoye changed his calm tone and asked again: "Your Excellency, can you answer this question to me?" ”

Bishop Upton was silent for a moment as if he were dead, and before Ronoyer could hold back to ask another question, he finally spoke: "We're taking you there...... It is a place closer to God than Euleni. ”

"The Inquisition?" Gustav spoke up.

As Gustav broke through, Bishop Upton's face suddenly showed a creepy frenzy.

The answer is already obvious.

"Why? Why do you ...... too Betrayal of Fergar. Ronoye's expression turned sad.

"Betrayal?" Bishop Upton denied, "I have not betrayed Fergar, I am seeking a new pilgrimage path for Fergar!" ”

"Fergar doesn't need a new pilgrimage path, do you know what the High Priest thinks?" Gustav Road.

Bishop Upton sneered, "High Priest? That waste can't hear God's voice anymore! He can hear that he has deceived the nobles of Fergar, and since the voice of God has disappeared, I have not believed in the old gods. He continued, "It was the Inquisitor who told me that my old God was dead, and the Inquisitor gave me the opportunity to communicate with the new God, and gave me new doctrines and missions, and gave me new strength!" ”

"Only the Judge can lead us to the new gods, and be blessed by the new gods, and together we will judge Ferga on behalf of the new gods, and you ...... You are among those we are judging! ”

Speaking of this, Bishop Upton's eyes softened a little when he saw Ronoye, and his crazy tone softened a little, and his mouth persuaded: "Ronoye La Amphilos, you are the one appointed by our new god, and you should be honored for it, as long as you put down the sorcerer's staff and serve the new god with us as a nobleman in Fergar, I promise that I will not hurt your friend in the slightest." After all, my mission is to take you to meet the new God. ”

"Obsessed." Gustav Review.

"The one above you is not a god at all!" Ronoye said urgently.

The other party said Gorando's name, which made Ronoye unable to calm down anymore.

Bishop Upton was rebuffed, but he was not angry: "Oh, yes...... You seem to know a lot, Child of Prophecy. But I won't believe you, you didn't see our new god with your own eyes, that's why you say that. ”

He stroked the scepter in his hand a few times and muttered to himself: "However, the soft one can't work, so I can only use the hard one......"

Hearing this, Ronoye took a few steps back, and also took out his staff to fight, and suddenly there was the sound of the door being destroyed by magic behind him, and he and Gustav looked back, and the place where it turned out to be the door had been violently blasted out of a large hole, and there were many unconscious priests behind the hole.

- And wasn't the person who broke into the bishop's room Gorando, who was supposed to be locked up on the second floor?
