Lord of Glory

Chapter 59 Negotiation

Chapter 59 Negotiation——

The confused Andrew pondered for a while, and he was naturally happy for Paladin to accept this position that had been vacant for twenty years. But he vaguely felt that this seemingly stupid decision was not a bad idea. After thinking about it, Andrew suddenly asked with a serious face: "Where did you get the five hundred gold coins?" "Of course it was a donation from a devout believer."

Paladin laughed and talked nonsense. Then he poured a glass of high-quality red wine naturally, shaking the ruby-like liquid, and the alluring aroma slowly floated in. Paladin's eyes lit up and he took a sip. Immediately, I felt a sweet yet bitter taste enter my stomach. I nodded my head and said happily: "This red wine is really good."

Andrew stepped forward and grabbed the bottle with an expression like "Who are you kidding?" and looked straight at Paladin. That means if you don't tell me, get out of here. Five hundred gold coins was neither more nor less for Andrew, who had been running the parish for twenty-five years and colluding with nobles to accept bribes and deceive. His total net worth is only eight thousand gold coins. But this young Paladin actually said that he had one-sixteenth of his entire net worth. It made Andrew both itchy and unbelievable.

Who would have thought that Paladin showed a weird smile and said, "Your Majesty, do you know my full name?" "Full name?" Andrew was stunned for a while and didn't react. But he heard the answer that made him clear from Paladin's mouth: "My full name is. Paladin, Flamel." "You are a noble! Oh, my Enos!" Andrew shouted in surprise. , looked Paladin up and down, and his expression became a little polite: "My lovely child, you should have told me earlier!" Andrew smiled broadly. But he kept searching for information about the Flamel clan. It's a pity that there is no trace of it. It is probably a small noble in decline. Otherwise, their sons would not be allowed to become priests.

"So about the auxiliary bishop..." "Huh? Don't worry, I have always been very optimistic about you, Paladin. At dawn tomorrow, I will officially give you the title and let the whole Adeley know that you become I hired a bishop!" Paladin nodded implicitly, and then said: "Of course, the priest in Nurba also hopes that the bishop can serve as a concurrent role for me. After all, I also have feelings there."

"Okay, okay, but won't this be too tiring? The auxiliary bishop is very busy, and I believe he doesn't have much time to deal with Nurba's affairs." Paladin gently shook his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about that. Now. I usually live in Nurba temporarily. If something happens, send a priest to inform me. I will definitely come over. When Nurba's matter is settled, Paladin voluntarily resigns as the priest of Nurba and concentrates on serving you, the bishop. , and the great Enos.”

Andrew murmured to himself that this guy must have a lot of mistresses in Nurba. It is understandable that it takes time to arrange those lovers. Thinking about the current corrupt living habits of the lower class nobles, Andrew nodded without much doubt: "Okay, okay, let me know when you want to come. I will give you the position of auxiliary bishop tomorrow." "Tomorrow, the five hundred gold coins raised by believers will also Deliver it to the Lord Bishop." Andrew was stunned, thinking of the shining five hundred gold coins, and immediately laughed heartily. Paladin, on the other hand, kept laughing incomprehensibly. But there was no joy in his eyes. There was only indifference.

"So, you are disturbing the bishop. Please enjoy it," Paladin said slowly, pointing at the panicked Lucia with a smile. Hearing what Paladin said, Andrew remembered that there was another beauty, and suddenly nodded with joy and said: "Okay, okay, you go." Paladin bowed, gave the desperate Lucia a farewell look, turned around and walked out room. "Hahaha, little beauty! Grandpa is here to love you! Hahaha!" Andrew eagerly hugged Lucia, who was crying from the corner of her eyes, happily walked into the bedroom, and closed the door. Immediately, there was a burst of crazy laughter, faint crying, and the sound of ripping clothes to pieces.

"I will never forgive you! Paladin, even if I turn into an undead, I will take revenge, revenge, revenge!" Lying on the bed, Lucia's eyes showed strong hatred. The toxins from the deadly rain in his body invaded his heart, and he slowly closed his eyes. Immediately, the door was opened, and Andrew, with a disgusted and annoyed look on his face, cursed and walked out wearing a bath towel. He shouted unhappily: "I don't know which heretic cursed me, but this woman died before she could enjoy it." ! It’s not worth it, it’s not worth it! No, I have to take a shower.”

Andrew was so angry that he suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs: "Wayne! Deal with this female believer! And, boil water for me to take a bath!" As soon as he finished speaking, a bald old priest with a dull look came in and took a look. His face turned blue, and Lucia, who had been dead for a long time, lay on his chest. The originally dull eyes suddenly flashed with a thunderbolt! "Wayne, what are you still doing there? Boil some water for me! Also, bury the body in the cemetery in the backyard. Remember to do it at night, don't be stupid enough to dig a hole during the day!"

Andrew yelled angrily. Upon hearing this curse, the sharp eyes of the old priest named Wayne returned to dullness. He opened his mouth and screamed. Turn around and go downstairs to boil water. This Wayne was a mute, and Andrew remembered that he had already been working here for some time when he took office in middle age. Moreover, this Wayne is an introvert and will do whatever is asked of him. I will never refute, reveal information, or write. That's why Andrew felt comfortable letting such a person deal with these troublesome corpses.

Paladin, who walked to the church hall, vaguely heard the yelling upstairs, although he couldn't make out what was said. But he also guessed that Andrew felt uncomfortable when he encountered a dead person. With a mysterious smile on his face, he was about to leave here for a trip to the slave house. Several priests gathered around them fawningly: "Father, what did the bishop tell you? It took you so long?" "Father? No, no, no." Paladin looked at these flies that smelled like meat and showed sarcasm. With a look on his face, he said: "Tomorrow, you will call me the auxiliary bishop."

"Wow!" These wallflowers immediately burst out in exclamation. Immediately realizing that they had a boss, they began to flatter him endlessly. When Paladin, who automatically filtered these things, was about to leave to do his business, a look in his eyes sent shivers down his spine! Paladin turned his head sharply and saw the wooden door in the corner open a small crack, and Wayne's deep and complicated eyes were staring straight at him! But when he noticed Paladin looking over, he immediately walked away and disappeared through the gap in the wooden door.

"Who was that old priest just now?" Paladin asked with a slight frown. How could these priests easily let go of the opportunity to curry favor? One by one, they scrambled to say, "This is old Wayne. He is mute and illiterate. He is usually silly. It is said that he has been here longer than the bishop!" "Mute?" Paladin frowned deeper. Seeing the strange expressions of these priests, he immediately laughed and said, "It's nothing, I just feel weird."

But in Paladin's heart, he became increasingly wary of this Wayne. Because when he looked back just now, he clearly saw it. This old priest has a dharma ring around him! It is a magical element under his control! It was water blue, water blue, with a total of five hundred and twenty water elements! "This old guy is not illiterate. Looking at a magic ring of this size... hum, it's very hidden. Is it a mage? Or a necromancer? Or, is it an alchemist?"

Paladin left Adley Cathedral with an inscrutable smile. No matter what, this Wayne must be vigilant and vigilant. Tens of thousands of years of history told him that no illiterate or fool could learn magic. This is the truth.
