Alien Knights

Chapter 86: Reunion

   The convoy carrying the "Grafting Rose" headed east for two days and two nights, and the travelers finally saw the gate of Silver Ring City from a distance.

   Silver Ring City was once a city in the barbaric kingdom that converted to heavenly father. It has been exploited by the lord for a hundred years, not only has to pay all kinds of harsh donations, but also has to be forced to perform labor or military service. Therefore, after the rise of the city, the nobles in the city took various forms (open or hidden) and various methods (violent or redemption) to fight against the lord.

  The struggle process was long and cruel, and Silver Ring City finally obtained a certain degree of freedom and privileges from the lord, and became a member of the "Free City". After a long period of political games, the city obtained the right to elect municipal officials, mayors, and establish city courts, and formally entered the "autonomous city".

   Next, although the church's instigation and incitement is one reason, but more importantly, the nobles of Silver Ring are no longer satisfied that their power is limited to the scope of the city, and outward expansion has become inevitable. The Barbarian Kingdom, which had long been wary of this, adopted fierce suppression and resistance.

   So, the war broke out.

   The corpse mountain and the sea of ​​blood are white bones.

   After the chaotic history, the originally unified barbarian kingdom split into three separate regions.

   Silver Ring City in the west, Holy Acropolis in the east, and Guyan City in the south.

   "My lord, where shall we go first?"

  Walking on the streets of the city, Todd frowned when he was called by Hudgens: "I said, when you enter the city, don't call me that."

   The man tilted his head: "Well, Father priest, where shall we go first?"

   Although it was the second time to come to this city, Todd was not familiar with everything in the city at all from the first bad experience. After thinking and thinking, he set the destination of the team in the only place he was familiar with.

   "St. Ke's Cathedral".

   When he stood on the square of the cathedral and looked up at the magnificent church buildings in front of him, the comparison of memories during the trial of the heresy made him involuntarily sigh.

   Watching Hudgens pick up a basin of "grafting roses" covered with white cloth, Todd motioned to the others to stay where they were, and the two of them stepped on the steps of the cathedral and walked into the gate of the sanctuary.

   Bishop Fabian was standing in the center of the chapel and was reading the Bible daily to the believers. Todd's sudden appearance made his face instantly lose peace.

   gesturing for the assistant to take care of the situation temporarily, Fabian walked up to the priest and motioned for the latter to come with him.

   Passed through the side corridor behind the church and came to the deepest sutra. The bishop asked Huggins dressed as his entourage to wait outside the door, pulled Todd in first, and then closed the door.

   Before Todd could speak, Fabian first questioned him: "Do you know that you did a terribly wrong thing in Muxi Town!"

   The former looked confused, but thought in his mind, I have done so many wrong things, I don’t know which one you are talking about?

"What is your "tea party"! Your speech against the secular kingdom without authorization has already had an extremely bad impact on the relationship between the church and the kingdom." The bishop looked a little frustrated: "I have tried to ease our relationship with Yin. The discord between the ring nobles, it was all messed up by you!"

   Todd suddenly, it turned out to be for this.

   After thinking a little bit in his head, he suddenly asked Fabian a strange question.

   "Master Bishop, I remember that you have served in Silver Circle City for four years. It stands to reason that you can be transferred from here after you have served for three years. Why hasn't there been any movement in your transfer order so far?"

   Fabian, who was originally annoyed, heard Todd's words, was stunned, and a whisper appeared in his heart.

   Yes, last year, I should have been able to escape from the fire pit of Silver Ring City. Why hasn’t the Papal State issued an order until now?

"If I'm not mistaken, your position should be a rock in the fire. No one wants to touch it." Todd found a chair and sat down and patted the dust on his long coat: " You want to leave here, there is only one way."

   The bishop completely forgot the topic just now. He couldn't help but found a chair, sat next to Todd, and asked in a deep voice, "What can be done?"

"Make a success."

   "Achievements? Haven't I already offered a crystal holy to the Holy See?"

   Todd laughed, pointed his nose and said, "Have you forgotten about the heresy trial? I heard that the pope was furious about it."

   Fabian was speechless, and the trial of heresy was indeed a stupid thing he did. Recalling the past, he remembered the scene of Father Paul's tragic death on the trial stage, and his body trembled slightly unconsciously.

   "So, before that, you have to pay off, and you need new grades now."

   The bishop was taken aback by what the priest said, and the latter shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's simple, where can I go to find grades?"

   Todd stood up, pushed open the door of the scripture hall, and signaled Hudgens to put the "grafting rose" on the table. He grabbed the white cloth with both hands, lifted it forcefully, and said in his mouth: "Look, I didn't bring it to you."

   A potted plant, nine roses, displayed in front of the bishop, colorful and dazzling. The white is like snow, the yellow is like gold, the pink is like haze, and the red is like fire. Some petals stretched out, seeming to greet people with a smile; some buds were ready to let go, really shy and pleasant. The bursts of fragrance ~www.novelmt.com~ floated to the nose, very fascinated.

"It's just flowers, where is it...huh?" Fabian took a closer look at the plants in front of him, raised his hand to the flower pot in surprise, and stammered: "A tree has grown. Nine different roses?!"

   After six weeks, the T-shaped wound on the root of the anvil has completely healed, and there is no trace of artificial grafting.

   Todd shrugged and said casually: "I don't know what's going on. The plants watered from the well water in Muxi Town actually grow flowers of different colors and varieties at the same time."

   The bishop rubbed his hands in excitement, and said excitedly: "Heavenly Father is here! Great! By the way, this potted flower must be sent away quickly..."

   "Why are you sending it off as soon as possible?"

   A melodious and melodious woman's voice sounded at the door, which shocked the three people in the room.

   Todd turned his head to look, and he was lost for a moment with the stunning appearance and the temperament of the kaolin flower.

   "Your Majesty the Queen!" The bishop opened his mouth wide in surprise, and cast his annoyed eyes on the deacons outside the door.

   The latter, surrounded by guards and female officials, couldn't say anything.

   Queen Mary looked at the rose on the table, clapped her hands, and immediately two maids walked up and lifted the flower pot in Fabian’s sorrowful eyes.

   "Take this as your meeting gift, Mr. Todd." The queen stroked the delicate rose petals with her finger, and said with a smile.

   An invitation letter made of silver and copper alloy came from the hand of the maid to the palm of the priest; a line of hot gold and graceful text appeared in front of Todd's eyes.

   "Tonight's banquet, I am waiting for your arrival." Queen Mary turned around and dropped the last sentence: "Remember, I don't want to see anyone late because they are lost."
