Chronicle of the Temple of Light

"Aldrich?!" Haider seemed to jump up in surprise.

Ryan took a breath, and knocked directly into Haider's arms after he let go of his hand.

Haider hugged Ryan subconsciously, and took a step back with his right foot to stabilize his figure.

"Teach... Your Majesty the Pope?" Ryan looked as if he was about to faint.

And the Pope he was talking about was staring at the two men "shamelessly" hugging each other with a dark face.

Ryan looked ignorant, his cheeks were flushed after he withdrew from Haider's arms, and he saluted Aldrich excitedly.

"Are you willing to shave your beard?!" Haider was very curious.

Aldrich was dressed in a white robe, and said coolly after hearing the words: "Who made someone 'lose' again when returning to the Temple of Light?"

Haider comforted: "Don't do this, anyway, after you see me, your beard will still be shaved off by me."

Aldrich: "..."

Ryan is still immersed in the blankness of seeing his immediate boss. After all, although Haider is equal to the Pope as the Knight Commander of the Temple, the presidents of the Bright Branches of various countries are still elected by the believers and are not managed by the Elderly Council. It is issued by the Pope himself and has no direct relationship with the Knight Commander.

At this time, he heard the two talking about beards, and asked stupidly, "beards?"

Then he reacted: "Oh, beard, beard."

Haider: "..." Although I'm used to making this joke with Aldrich, it's still a bit embarrassing to hear it brought up by others, especially when I'm at a loss...

wrong!What's wrong with me!Obviously, I was also plotted against!Haider suddenly woke up.

And Ryan Burgens looked as if he was going to get into the ground, he stumbled and saluted Aldrich: "Good day, Your Holiness the Pope."

Aldrich waved his hand to excuse him, and then said, "Turrance and I have something to discuss, let's go first."

Ryan said stupidly: "Go slowly...no, come back soon!"

Just as Aldrich stepped out of the door, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes.He squinted his eyes slightly, and cast a silent spell, and the assassin kept stabbing at him with the dagger raised high, and stayed in place.

Ryan almost scrambled and ran to the door: "Your Majesty, are you alright!!"

In Ryan's eyes, Aldrich was still standing calmly at the door.

"I'm fine." Aldrich paused, his calm voice made the assassin's hair stand on end, "Please explain this... the situation."

Ryan tried to move the semi-petrified assassin indoors, but Haider gave him a disgusted look, and then the assassin floated in mid-air.

In the reception room, Ryan introduced the situation of the Bright Branch of the Principality of Petrie in the past two years, and said with a wry smile: "I thought this situation would last until I left office. God of Light, thank you for coming." He saluted again.

Aldrich frowned.

Haider glanced at his face and sneered, "That's right, it's a strange situation, right?"

He slowly adjusted his sitting posture to make himself more comfortable: "I wanted to say it before, obviously this situation can be broken as long as a clergyman who does not belong to the Petrie branch arrives, but it dragged on for two days." Year?"

He asked Ryan: "If my guess is correct, no priest has visited in the past two years, right? It is easy to attract the attention of the temple to engage in assassination in this kind of place."

Ryan nodded in embarrassment: "...After all, the Principality of Petrie is located in a remote location, and its products are not rich. There are not many wandering clergymen coming...even usually, there are not many believers."

"Yes, you are right. Generally, no one will come to this place—by the way, why is the Bright Branch of the Principality of Petrie located in a small town?" Haider nodded, "But...forget it It’s not a big deal to tell you. Every six months, a secret visitor will be arranged to visit each branch of the Light. In the past two years, the temple, especially the Pope, I believe he has received a report from the secret visitor of the Principality of Petrie. , so I didn’t believe your words until this assassin appeared.” Haider even laughed at the assassin “statue”.

Ryan was stunned.

Aldrich rubbed his temples, and exhaled: "Then obviously something bad happened in the elders' courtyard... Bright."

"Those old bastards don't seem to take you seriously?" Haider fanned the flames.

"Probably because I'm jealous of my youth." Aldridge obviously didn't take it to heart, and made nonsense.

Haider curled his lips when he saw this, and didn't speak again. The teacher said that he had been unhappy with the elders' house for a long time.It is really unacceptable that such a place exists under the light.

He didn't try to provoke again - it's really weird to say that - the relationship between the pope and the presbytery, and instead lifted the assassin's immobilization spell.

The assassin was caught off guard, and his center of gravity was unstable when he was pinned down before, so he fell to the ground.But he also reacted immediately and wanted to commit suicide immediately.But he found to his horror that his limbs were no longer under his control.

Haider said with a smile: "You guys continue to talk, I will borrow the basement." After speaking, he got up and went downstairs, and the assassin followed him stiffly.

Aldrich was about to ask, but Ryan was also serious about answering.Suddenly a shrill scream passed through the ground, Ryan trembled in fright, and immediately saw Haider open the cellar door, revealing a head: "Sorry, I forgot to gag his mouth."

"Shut his mouth." Aldrich and Haider said at the same time.

Haider was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, and gestured to him for him to continue.

"Let's continue." Aldrich looked at Ryan again, his silver-gray eyes made Ryan a little terrified.

After all, he is the supreme leader of the God of Light, so he is really different from ordinary people... Ryan feels a little bit confused.

By the time they finished talking, it was already dark.

Haider seemed to be able to pinpoint the time, walked up and stretched himself: "The talk is over? What's for dinner?"

Ryan said in shame: "There are only some potatoes..."

Haider's movements stopped.

Ryan heard him sigh, and then walked to the door: "I'll go buy some more food."

It happened that someone knocked at the door, and Haider took advantage of the opportunity to open the door.

At the door was a middle-aged man, wearing a platinum priest's uniform, who seemed to be of the rank of a bishop.He is a little fat, with a kind face.

The middle-aged man was stunned when he saw Haider, and looked at him calmly. Seeing that he was wearing coarse clothes, his expression suddenly relaxed, and there was a faint luster in his eyes.

How could Haider not notice the middle-aged man's gaze, and his face turned black in a flash.

"Hayden." Aldrich also saw this scene, and called Haider's nickname, signaling him not to startle the snake.

Haider turned his head and glared at Aldrich full of anger, and walked around the middle-aged man.

Aldrich was helpless.

Ryan consciously stood up and introduced Aldrich: "This is the elder of the Bright Branch of the Principality of Petrie, Prodi Petrie."

He glanced at Prodi, then at Aldrich, a little uncertain whether the beloved Pope wanted to hide his identity, he hesitated and said, "This is..."

Aldrich took Lane's words: "Adoc François."

Prodi originally felt that Aldrich's appearance and demeanor did not look like a commoner, but now he only reported his name but did not mention who he was. Secret visitors will be arranged.

But obviously he and... have already made arrangements, why would a secret visitor suddenly appear?Could it be the pope's whim?

But Prodi is confident that he can buy the young man in front of him, didn't he come out for a secret visit but brought a male favorite?

But that male favorite is really... Prodi's eyes flickered, and he stretched out his hand to Aldrich while imagining Haider's face in his mind.

Aldrich stretched out his hand to touch him lightly, then immediately withdrew his hand behind his back, and wiped his hand on the robe calmly.

Standing behind Aldrich, Ryan who witnessed everything: "..."

Prodi didn't care either. After all, he sent assassins to assassinate the secret visitor first, followed by his male favourite. I wonder if the Illuminati will be over soon.

He said with a smile: "No one usually comes here, and the branch doesn't have anything good to entertain guests. But everyone who comes is a guest, so how about it, I will be the host tonight, please go to the humble house for a light meal."

Aldridge nodded grudgingly.

Prodi was overjoyed, and pretended to ask casually: "Should we wait for the little brother who just went out? He is indeed the one who will always come. This appearance and demeanor are really incomparable to people in our small country." .”

Then he saw Aldridge finally looked him in the eye with sharp eyes.

Prodi thought he took a step back calmly: "Then I'll go back and order the servants to prepare dinner. Later, I will ask President Burkins to take the two guests to the humble house." Do some tricks during dinner to get the little blond beauty into submission.

After Prodi Petrie left, Aldrich turned his head and asked, "You can't fight this kind of thing?" It's a bit serious to invite that person to his home for dinner just after assassinating someone.

"...He is the Grand Duke's uncle after all." Ryan said guilty, and couldn't help but reflect on what had happened to him in the past two years.

Haider returned with a few pieces of black bread wrapped in sackcloth in one hand and a sea bowl in the other that looked like potato soup.

He first handed the black bread to Ryan, then found a small bowl, spread the soup in the sea bowl, and said to Ryan, "Eat it quickly." Then he ate it by himself, ignoring Aldrich next to him.

Ryan: "..."

He carefully looked at the wise and mighty Pope, for fear that he would get angry.

But seeing Aldrich's face full of surprises, seeing Ryan looking at him, he comforted him: "Eat, don't worry about me."

Haider quickly finished eating the bread and drinking the soup. Ryan stepped on the memory and told him: "The one just now is the Grand Duke's uncle Prodi Petrie...he just invited us to his house for dinner."

Haider cleaned the bowl with water flow technique, put it aside, and said coldly: "Go, go, but I dare not eat the food from that fat pig's house."

Fat, fat pig...?Ryan was ashamed, the knight commander was really quick to talk.

Haider watched Ryan finish eating, and clapped his hands: "Let's go, go early and come back early." After speaking, he signaled Ryan to lead the way, and went out first to wait.
