please don't believe me

[Mission reminder: There are still 1 days before the mission time. 】

The eve of the pilgrimage is destined to be a sleepless night.

"Dolin!" Locke rushed into the room without waiting for Dai Bowen's answer. Fortunately, Dai Bowen was just reading a book quietly, otherwise he really wanted to "teach" this rash guy a lesson.

However, before Dai Bowen could ask a question, Locke quickly approached: "It's terrible, I just saw a few guards from the Holy See coming downstairs in the corridor, and two of them look like holy knights!"

"Holy knight?" Dai Bowen frowned, thinking of what might happen, but still asked, "What are they here for?"

"I don't know, but it looks like I'm going to the opposite staircase." Locke thought for a while, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, "Could it be with that..." He mouthed the word "God's Favored One", "related?"

I didn't see it, this guy also has sharp moments.Dai Bowen stood up, glanced at him, and then walked towards the living room.

"Dorin! Where are you going?"

"Where not to go." Dai Bowen quickly approached the door, and gently opened a small crack in the door, "I'll just take a look."

"My God, you are so bold!" Locke said as he walked over and lowered his voice, "What happened?"

Dai Bowen looked out the door, and whispered back: "They brought Wayne out... Oh, and there are his knights behind."

"At this time?" Locke asked puzzled, "Hey, tomorrow is the pilgrimage day, and now suddenly arrest a prospective bishop who was going to receive the blessing?"

Dai Bowen watched the people on the opposite side disappear under the stairs, closed the door, turned around and said, "Because tomorrow is the pilgrimage day, I will deal with it tonight."

Locke watched the other party pass by him: "What?"

Dai Bowen replied: "It's nothing. Someone may come to ask you about Father Wayne these days, just tell the truth."

"Honestly?"

"You can say what you think the facts are." Dai Bowen thought for a while, and then said, "Forget it, try to remain neutral, and don't be so stupid as to say good things to him."

"It's not that you don't know, he is similar to Wright in my eyes now..." Locke muttered, "But what happened to him, why don't you tell me?"

"Curiosity kills the cat, you have to learn to keep quiet, my knight." Dai Bowen took out a fruit from the fruit basket on the table and said as he walked to his room, "Anyway, it probably won't be a good thing. "

Locke muttered: "Okay, okay, you have too many secrets, I'll shut up..."

Dai Bowen entered the door and locked the lock with his backhand to ensure that the frizzy knight would no longer barge in easily.Tomorrow is a pilgrimage day, so it is impossible not to have a good rest.

He tossed the fruit in his hand.

Has the pope decided to do it?The moment he saw that scene just now, he almost wanted to call the system and directly judge Father Wayne as a heretic.

However, taking food from the pope's mouth is very dangerous.Once he finds out, I'm afraid that let alone being a bishop, whether he can see the sun of tomorrow is another matter!

Let things develop so naturally, even if the Pope doubts him, he won't be able to move him for the time being.There is no way, who let the public opinion turn against him?If the pope wanted to use the same method to bring down another quasi-bishop, he would first be saddened by the Holy See.

Dai Bowen looked at the fruit in his hand, smiled, and took a bite.

This flattery... is also just in case, right?

The Cathedral of the Holy Land, a dedicated small auditorium inside.

The hero of the pilgrimage sits on his throne.The seat is made of rare red wood with gold-plated edges. The exquisite patterns carved on the backrest, armrests, and four legs need not be repeated one by one.Even if this is just a decoration in the small auditorium, its exquisiteness is not reduced at all.

Today's attire on the throne of the master is even more gorgeous and dignified.Today, he is wearing a long cassock with gold silk pattern on a white background, and a silk robe with a bright gold border and a dark gold pattern embossed on a champagne gold ground. On his head is a high diamond-shaped ruby ​​crown of the same color as the robe, hanging from the edge of the crown The half-length slightly see-through veil covered the upper half of the face, and a pair of satin red shoes faintly echoed the jewels on the top.

A holy knight in pale gold armor stood at the bottom of the steps and said to the person standing in the middle of the red carpet, "Father Wayne...do you have anything else to say?"

Father Wayne was still wearing the white robe he was taken out the night before. He looked tired, but with a stubborn light in his eyes, he said slowly, "I was wronged."

The holy knight said: "Guillaume has handed over your bribes. The Church of Quebec found bribe records in your room. Some church personnel admitted to accepting Guillaume's hint..." He glanced at the bribes that were released. A document and a roll of paper next to it said, "You have read Quebec's emergency suspension application and the Holy See's approval. Your one-sided words are not enough to clear your suspicion."

Wayne scanned the people sitting or standing on both sides of the red carpet.Among these people are representatives of the Holy See, the three in white and red robes are the archbishops in the Holy Land; there are four quasi-bishops who are still wearing ordinary cassocks and robes, but will receive blessings and take office soon today; There are also some knights and the clergy of the cathedral.

The four quasi-bishops neatly dressed in cassocks, robes, and crowns especially hurt Wayne's eyes.Before last night, he was one of these people, even the most likely one among them, and now he is a prisoner of the Holy See.

It's only half a day away...

Wayne looked at the person who barely spoke on the throne: "I dare to ask you a question, Pope. Regardless of whether the so-called 'bribery incident' is true or not, the news that the eight new bishops will be blessed today has already spread all over the world; To revoke my qualifications before tomorrow... Is it too hasty?"

The Pope didn't reply, and was as quiet as if he had never heard Wayne's voice.

This kind of silence seemed to be oppressive. Wei En was silent for a few seconds, and then couldn't help saying: "Besides, I think... I also have the ability to be a bishop."

Dai Bowen sat on the edge of the red carpet with a calm and self-possessed face, but he was very surprised in his heart.This guy actually mentioned his own strange ability at this time?You know, this is not a means to save him, but a naked reminder!

How can this kind of IQ survive in the system's tasks?

"Do you have the ability to be a bishop?" The Pope finally spoke, his tone was cold and solemn, and no one could see the eyes under the veil, "Why did you say that?"

Wayne seemed to feel that the Pope was asking the question knowingly, and replied: "...I am the 'God's Favored One'!"

The pope fell silent again.Wayne felt weird, and glanced at the archbishops next to him, but saw their indifferent expressions on their faces, as if they were saying "so what".

Wayne was surprised at how these senior clergymen showed contempt for the "God's Blessed One", because a few days ago, people's attitude towards him was obviously not like this.However, the words have come to an end, and he is not willing to let it go. He gritted his teeth secretly and said: "From Quebec to the Holy Land, I have given no less than a hundred missionary meetings, Sundays, and blessing ceremonies, so I can forget the sadness, break the confusion, and relieve the pain. There are hundreds of believers! It is because of the trust of these believers that I have the opportunity to cross mountains and rivers and come to you. Although I don't know what the evidence of the so-called "bribery" is, the support of the believers cannot be faked. I hope you and the Holy See will carefully consider it, and don't destroy the expectations of the believers in vain because of what some villains say."

As soon as these words came out, not to mention the reaction of the Pope who was questioned by him, even the Holy Knight sharpened his eyes, drew out his long sword, and forced Wayne, who was approaching while speaking, to take two steps back.

Dai Bowen raised his eyebrows slightly.It seems that this Wayne has a limited IQ, but he has a lot of courage.Dare to say something that threatens public opinion in front of the Pope who is the most convinced in the hearts of the believers. Is this courting death or courting death?

You must know that even the Pope himself is half-covered when it comes to "public opinion"!

Dai Bowen's expectations were indeed good, but what Wenn said was not only a provocation to the Pope, but also ignored all the clergy present and above his level.Dai Bowen and other prospective bishops are not bad, how could the three archbishops turn a blind eye?

Therefore, before the Pope could reply, one of the archbishops stood up and said to the Pope: "Pope Sarnlich, since this person is so obsessed, it seems that the kindness you originally intended to give him is probably in vain." Why not deal with it together with the Quebec declaration just obtained this morning, lest he further tarnish the reputation of religion."

What the archbishop said made everyone present - except the pope and the archbishops - a little at a loss.Before they arrived, they were told that the reasons for Father Wayne's trial were the reasons for "too much contact with Guillaume", "taking bribes", "manipulating the resolutions of the Quebec Church" and other reasons mentioned earlier.Now it seems that there are other big plays?

Dai Bowen's mind turned, and he vaguely understood what the archbishop was talking about.

With the consent of the Pope, the Holy See presented the documents just received this morning and distributed them to the prospective bishops present for circulation one by one.

"My God...!" Mills beside Dai Bowen exclaimed in a low voice, but his voice was so low that no one else could hear him except Dai Bowen, "Report heresy!"

The general statement in the document: Some believers in Quebec Province who were "cured" by Father Wayne, after returning home, the pain symptoms were relieved, delaying the course of treatment, and endangering their lives; After a period of time, the old illness suddenly relapsed, and the heart disease became more serious and difficult to cure, and even committed suicide many times.According to the investigation of the Quebec Church, the so-called "miracles" by Father Wayne not only cannot benefit people, but also tend to harm believers.Therefore, the church declares that it suspects that Father Wayne is not a "favored person" but a "heretic"!

Dai Bowen quickly glanced through the full text, raised his eyes and glanced at Father Wayne without any trace, and his heart was sure.

After the four quasi-bishops had read it, the archbishop instructed someone to hand over the document to Wayne, probably to tell him to "death to understand".

Holding the document in his hand, Wayne opened his eyes wide after reading two lines, and murmured, "Impossible...Impossible!"

Why is it impossible, can you make up bribery, but can't make up believers to relapse?The pope wants you to die now, how can he keep you as a bishop?Dai Bowen glanced at the Pope on the throne, then exchanged a surprised look with Mills next to him, poured a cup of tea and took two sips to express his shock.

The Holy See did not show the detailed report to everyone, but a simple summary can explain everything clearly.Father Wayne stared, but after two or three minutes, he couldn't believe it: "Impossible, it's all fake! My ability will never allow such a thing to happen! And I've said it every time, this It only relieves the symptoms, not cures them! How can they blame me for delaying the course of treatment!"

The archbishop said coldly: "The words of the family!"

"I'm telling the truth!" Wayne rushed to the direction where Dai Bowen and Mills were, and slapped the document on the tea table between them. Ah! Have I ever warned the believers that it can only be alleviated but not cured?!"

Locke stepped out from behind Dai Bowen, half-drawn his sword, and ordered: "Please respect yourself!"

Wayne was forced to take two steps back by him, and when he looked at the two quasi-bishops again, he only got their indifferent and disgusted eyes.Wayne suddenly understood that here today, he had no chance of turning things around.

All of this is because of that person...

Wayne's eyes sharpened, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the person on the throne.

Dai Bowen was too close to him, and the other party's expressions were all over the place.The moment Wei En's face changed suddenly and he turned his head quickly, Dai Bowen secretly thought that it was not good——

He... wants to judge first!

Wayne's hand has been raised, pointing directly at Pope Sarnlich!
