Chapter 12 Bishop Benjamin (recommendation ticket requested)

After leaving the blacksmith shop, Sean found John, the chief guard, who was pacing restlessly at the door of the blacksmith shop.

"Let's go, let's go to church." Sean greeted.

"Your Highness Sean, you finally came out." John was relieved to see Sean walk out of the blacksmith's shop safely, "Your Highness Sean, next time you go into a blacksmith's or something like that, can you take me with you? It's also for your safety."

John didn't dare to go into the blacksmith's shop without Xiao En's permission just now. After all, he was instilled with the idea that he could not go against the wishes of the nobles.

But if something happens to Sean inside, he will be blamed.

"You say this, okay, I will take you in after arriving at the church."

Sean agreed casually, and the two walked towards the church together.

. . . . . .

A few minutes later, Sean came to the center of the civilian area and the tallest building in the city of Jorn——Church of the Holy Light of Jorn.

The Church of the Holy Light of Jorn is about 30 meters high, and it stands out from the crowd of small houses in the civilian area.

The gate of the church was guarded by two guards wearing silver-white standard armor. Sean came to these two guards and explained his reason for coming.

"I am Sean Violet, the current lord of River Beach Town, and I want to meet the bishop of the church."

"You can go to Pastor Joshua first, Pastor Joshua is the successor of the bishop, only he knows the bishop's movements best.

Pastor Joshua should now be praying in the church hall, where you can find him. "A guard at the gate said respectfully.

"Okay, thank you."

Sean thanked the guard, then stepped into the church and entered the hall of the church.

Soon, he saw Pastor Joshua who was praying (practicing) in the hall.

"Hello Pastor Joshua, I am Sean Violet, the current lord of River Beach Town. I want to see the bishop. Can I inform you?"

"Oh, so it's His Royal Highness Sean." Joshua saluted Sean.

"You are very welcome, Your Highness.

Unfortunately, Lord Benjamin is sick, and he is lying on a hospital bed, and he no longer accepts any guests. "Pastor Joshua said with a look of regret.

"Sick? Will Bishop Benjamin get sick too?" Sean looked puzzled.

He had seen Bishop Benjamin's miraculous healing technique, but he didn't expect such a strong man to be sick.

"Everyone gets sick, and Lord Benjamin is no exception. After all, everyone has selfish desires and will do some stupid things to satisfy them. Getting sick is the punishment of the God of Light." Pastor Joshua said seriously.

Is illness a punishment from the God of Light?Is this the God of Light or the God of Disease?Sean complained silently in his heart.

However, Bishop Benjamin is ill and cannot see the guests, so he will come another day.

"I'll come back another day, and I hope Bishop Benjamin recovers soon."

After speaking, Sean led John towards the outside of the church.

But Sean had just taken two steps when he heard the voice of Joshua's priest behind him:

"Your Highness Sean, please wait a moment!"

"What's wrong?" Sean turned to look at Joshua.

"That's right. Mr. Benjamin naturally doesn't accept guests who are sick, but Your Highness Xiao En has a more distinguished status. How about this? I'll go in and ask Mr. Benjamin. It's up to him to decide whether he wants to see you or not." Joe Pastor Shuya said.

"Okay, then please inform the bishop." Sean said to Joshua.

"Please wait here a moment."

After Pastor Joshua finished speaking, he left the hall and walked towards the interior of the church, while Sean stood and waited in the church hall.

Through a brief conversation with Pastor Joshua, Sean discovered that the Church of the Holy Light's status in the Principality of Ryan is much higher than imagined.

Sean also vaguely remembered that William, the earl's steward, said that the earl of the river could not command the bishop of the church, and that his own son, the grand duke, would have to decide to see the bishop here, which shows that the status of the bishop of the church is really high.

If this is the case for the bishop in Jorn City, what about the bishop in the royal capital?What about the archbishop who governs all the churches in the Kingdom of Ryan?How high will their status be?
A high status also means a strong influence. It is better not to use the method of "forming a sect to collect the power of faith" mentioned in the system to increase the experience value, otherwise it is really possible to be crushed to death by the Church of the Holy Light like an ant.

. . . . .

Pastor Joshua left and came quickly. After just a few minutes, he returned to the hall of the church again.

"Honorable Your Highness Sean, Lord Benjamin invites you to go in, but it's best not to bring your guard in, after all, it's an important place for the church." Pastor Joshua said respectfully to Sean.

"Okay, John, you wait here." After giving instructions to the guards, Sean followed Pastor Joshua and walked towards the depths of the church.

. . . . . .

Soon, Sean saw the bishop Benjamin who was still healing himself two days ago in a large room deep in the church.

The fireplace in Bishop Benjamin's room was burning fiercely, but Bishop Benjamin wrapped himself tightly in a quilt and looked very cold.

His eyes were a bit dull, and his face was also very pale. He no longer had the charm he had when he treated Sean two days ago.

Seeing Sean enter the room, Bishop Benjamin struggled to sit up, and Pastor Joshua immediately found a soft pillow on the side of the bed to cushion the bishop's back.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Sean, I'm seriously ill, so I can't get up to salute you." Bishop Benjamin said weakly.

"You're welcome, after all, you're sick. But then again, weren't you healthy two days ago? Why did you suddenly fall ill?" Sean asked.

Bishop Benjamin looked at Sean and wanted to say something, but he hesitated.

After thinking about it, Bishop Benjamin said to Pastor Joshua next to him, "Joshua, you go out first, I have something to talk to His Highness Sean alone."

"Okay, Lord Benjamin. Your Highness Sean, I will take my leave first." Pastor Joshua bid farewell to Sean and left the room.

Seeing Pastor Joshua leave, Sean was suddenly at a loss.

He just came to thank him. Why did Bishop Benjamin dismiss Pastor Joshua?Could it be that Bishop Benjamin has something secret to tell himself?

After Pastor Joshua left, Bishop Benjamin said to Sean: "Your Highness Sean, in fact, my injury was not due to anything else, but the power of faith was overdrawn."

"The power of faith is overdrawn? Could it be that...?" Xiao En suddenly understood what Bishop Benjamin said. The overdrawing of the power of faith that Bishop Benjamin said could not be overdrawn when he was healing himself!

"That's right, I went to heal you two days ago. Your injury was very serious at that time. In order to heal you quickly, I forcibly activated a fourth-order magic spell that I hadn't learned yet. The power of faith was overdrawn, so it became This is what it looks like now," Bishop Benjamin explained.

"Oh, so that's how it is." Sean suddenly understood that it turned out that Bishop Benjamin became what he is now to heal his injuries.

But here comes the question again, why did Bishop Benjamin heal him quickly at such a high cost?
Although he is the son of Grand Duke Ryan, he should not overdraw his strength to treat him.
