please don't believe me

If you ask Dai Bowen what wish he had before receiving the meeting itinerary, it must be about Wayne.

- Please, can you arrange them for a day?I really want to see Wayne's performance before and after meeting the Pope!

Dai Bowen hasn't seen Wayne's "real ability", maybe he is a liar, maybe he really has some incredible power, but Dai Bowen's real purpose is not to expose his methods.In any case, judging from the only location report by the system, Wayne has a huge "suspect" of the host.Assuming that he is really the "host" and guesses like Dai Bowen that there may be other "hosts" gathered in the current holy land, he will definitely be careful not to show his feet.After all, I have been involved in this task for nearly a year, and I have only heard of such a failed report, so anyone would have to be trembling.

At this time, the Pope arranged a private meeting, which undoubtedly put great pressure on the "suspect".

Dai Bowen even speculated optimistically that if Wayne was really the one who was reported before, maybe this rash character would make him make blind judgments under the upset character.It's fine if you succeed, but if you fail again, all the "hosts" in the Holy Land will be reported, and it will be too lively.

Speaking of which, he must be most likely to judge the Pope, right?After all, meeting alone is too much like confirming the "host", isn't it?If it was the colonel in Dai Bowen's last mission, oh, and the boss in the first mission, it must be the same method of urgent marking.As long as there is some wavering, it is easy to be caught by the tail of this sharp "hunter".

Dai Bowen’s imagination is good—Vienne judged the Pope, and it’s a good thing that one of them will “die”—it’s a pity that Venn also wants to become a bishop, so it’s impossible to do it before he is blessed by the Pope.For these two, it depends on who can survive the other.

Anyway, Dai Bowen is currently just watching.He didn't intend to make a high profile at the beginning, and even reached an agreement with Bishop Clermont: never expose those "little tricks" easily, even if it is likely to make himself "go further". "Submission [-]" or something, to hell!

Yes, Dai Bowen decided that the mission description this time was a big trap.The main task of "becoming a bishop" is too simple because the original owner's path is well paved, and it is not like the "professional deception" style of the system before.On the contrary, in "Submission [-]", "if it is successfully judged by other hosts" and "the main mission immediately fails", the branch decides the main mission. Is it unreasonable?

Therefore, the priority of this task should be adjusted: the main thing is not to be judged, and then to become a bishop by the way.

There is another evidence for this assumption: if the pope is really the "host", then he is a huge obstacle in all the tasks of "becoming a bishop". After all, whether he can officially take office depends on his words.Whoever dares to "strike first" judges him, don't do the main task.

To sum up, the pope wants to single out all the prospective bishops, and Dai Bowen wants to fish in troubled waters, so he can observe Wayne's performance conveniently.

Ah... let me sit at the Pope's door for a long time.Dai Bowen thought, he really wanted to see the reaction of all the prospective bishops when they entered and exited the door!

Dai Bowen prayed for several days, but the development of the facts is obviously not so smooth.

At this time, he was sitting alone in the living room, waiting for the Pope to summon him.Another prospective bishop who set out with him has been taken away for a while. He is from Perrin, a province that has always cultivated bishop successors step by step.Although the two went out at the same time, they still sat in two carriages, so in the end, they actually exchanged a few words before getting into the carriage.

The waiting time is predictable and not optimistic. After all, even if the previous priest has finished talking, the Pope will probably have to rest for a while.Moreover, referring to what he had asked other priests before, Dai Bowen felt that he might be "forced to hang out".

It's easy to be restless while waiting.Even if a person knows that the calmer he is, the better, but as long as the room is set up properly, no one can suppress the panic in his heart forever.

On this point, Dai Bowen is a good player with insight, but this does not mean that he will never fall into the opponent's psychological trap.

He was alone anyway, and he began to get up and walk around the room, examining everything that seemed interesting to him.This behavior is natural, and many people observe their environment while they wait.

The room is no more than [-] square meters, with white walls and minimalist furniture.There is a window with a half-person height style and a white gauze curtain.With plenty of natural light, the room isn't stuffy, even if it's small.

Dai Bowen looked up: the ceiling is a bit low.

In fact, the height of this room is about [-] meters, which is not too low compared to the scale of rooms set in ordinary buildings.But this is the Holy Land Cathedral, and most of the buildings from the front to the back have chosen the high ceiling model.Entering such a living room from these open spaces, the unseen—oh, the unnoticed—the pressure will follow.

Time and space... Dai Bowen smiled, walked back to his seat and sat down, and picked up the boring book on the tea table - a collection of poems describing the scenery of the Holy Land.

"Pope Sarnlich, Father Doring is here."

"Please come in."

The clergy let the door open, and Dai Bowen finally saw the Pope himself after two hours of grinding.

Contrary to the imaginary pressure that doubles as soon as we meet, Pope Sarnlich seems to be a stable and kind middle-aged man at first glance.Dai Bowen walked in, and the other party stood up slowly.While Dai Bowen was looking at him calmly, he was also observing the priest.

It's a long time to say, but in less than three seconds, the eyes of both sides have already staggered.

Dai Bowen lowered his head and raised his hands in salute: "Good day."

The doctrine says that all beings are equal, so the Pope's actions are no more reserved than the priest's: "Good day."

The two sides sat down, and the pope poured Dai Bowen a cup of tea naturally: "Sorry for keeping you waiting."

These words can actually cover a lot of content, but Dai Bowen just smiled and leaned over to pick up the teacup, looking up at the other person with his eyes slightly raised.

"It's all right...thank you for the tea."

Come on, dear "host".

In the afternoon, in the courtyard of the Holy Land Cathedral, there is a small living room dedicated to the Pope.

Dai Bowen and the suspected "host" sat face to face, forcing himself to suppress the excitement of "active attack", and instead relaxed his mind.

The first half of the conversation was normal, and the topics were mostly about "yesterday, today, and tomorrow" of the church in Sara Province, as well as some personnel relations of Father Dolin.This part of the content has been repeated many times in Sara Province, and Dai Bowen can recite it without any problem even if his mind is distracted.

After half an hour, the topic began to deepen.

"I heard something, but Sara province doesn't seem to have made any relevant reports, so I want to confirm it with you." The pope slowly put down his teacup, "Sara province... also appeared'God-favored person', Yeah?"

Dai Bowen's eyes froze for a moment when he looked at the other party, and he pursed his lips quickly and very slightly, but the signals disappeared in the next second.

The pope glanced at him: "Why don't you speak?"

"I'm not very clear about what you said, maybe..."

"No, dear Dorin." The pope leaned back against the backrest, clasped his hands in his lap, "you know exactly what I'm talking about."

Dai Bowen looked at him, and after a while he slowly opened his mouth: "I..."

The pope said nothing, just looked at him.

The priest seemed to be encouraged, he paused for a breath, and then continued: "I've heard some things. But if I say it, maybe... I mean, the doctrine does not encourage talking behind the scenes..."

"No, no, dear." The Pope leaned forward slightly, and said, "This is not talking behind the scenes, let alone a report, and it is not even a confession. We are just chatting, and no third person will know What did we say?"

"Pope Sarnlich..."

The pope put his hand on the priest's knee, looked at him and nodded.

"I understand." Dai Bowen smiled, and then said, "There is indeed a priest who claims to be a 'God's Favored' in Sara Province. His views are very similar to those of Father Wayne. I saw his preaching once. At the scene, there are some communication links with the 'dead', and it is indeed very accurate."

The Pope nodded and asked again: "So, Dorin, what do you think of this kind of magic?"

Dai Bowen paused and replied: "I don't have any special opinion, this is also a way of preaching."

"You still have some scruples, don't you?" The Pope stared at him. "I have to remind you, my dear, that Father Wayne, the 'Blessed One' of Quebec, is about to become the new bishop of Quebec, and many people It all feels right.”

The pope shook Dai Bowen's hand, as if to convey strength, and also seemed to convey some kind of hint: "If there is also news of a 'favored person' in Sara Province, maybe you, the new bishop of Sara Province, will Gotta be questioned just because you don't have those magical abilities... Do you understand?"

Understood, you want me to speak ill of other people.

The priest frowned and lowered his head: "Forgive me for being stupid..."

The Pope smiled and said: "You are not dull, on the contrary, you are very smart, because the province of Sarah has always upheld the principle of appointing people to their wisdom. Bishop Clermont is like this, and you are no exception. But my dear, not everyone in this world is smart people."

Dai Bowen pretended to be puzzled and said, "You mean..."

"What I mean is, you should tell me the decision of the Church of Sala Province on that 'Blessed One', especially Bishop Clement and your opinion." The Pope let go of his hand and gave him the cup Re-pour the fragrant black tea, "Only if you tell me, can I find a suitable way to support the choice of the Church in Sara Province, right?"

What do you mean... Threatening me with the position of bishop?Dai Bowen thought for a while, but didn't have time to sort out the whole train of thought, so he could only say: "Yes... I understand."

He hadn't planned to keep this a secret, but he had to hold back for a few rounds if he wanted to speak ill of others in front of the Pope.Now that the conversation has come to this point, he doesn't need to ask questions.

Dai Bowen said softly: "The Church of Sara Province believes that Wright, the 'God's Favoured'...is not suitable for the position of bishop."
