Ch. 106 - The Head Sheep

As soon as Paladin's words fell, those priests who had listened with fervor immediately applauded with excitement. Some wise priests, who seemed to see clearly which way the scales of victory were tipped, also applauded. Paladin made the cross on his chest with great devotion, and bowed his head with his hands over his scepter and said, "May the great and true God, Enos, forgive this lost lamb. May your divine grace envelop us all the time."

At this point, the priest's face was white and his mouth was open, not knowing what to say. He squeaked and whimpered incessantly. And Sarrier suddenly stood up and waved the scepter in his hand. The sound that was blocked by magic came again from the tent. But Sarrier's thick voice reached everyone's ears: "Go on, don't be confused. Get on your horses and follow the group. As a servant of God, a shepherd, you must fulfill your duties. "

Such an opportunity to step down, that priest that was still not willing? With a humble apology, he hurriedly left the tent with a group of priests who looked at Paladin in a different light. And Paladin did not move a step, he just signaled Tony to prepare his horse, and stood quietly in place. Looking at the floor at his feet, he and Sarrier remained motionless and silent until only the two of them were left in the tent.

"You are Paladin, aren't you? More powerful than I expected." Sarrier walked over with his scepter and looked Paladin up and down. He couldn't help but praise. Paladin was about to say something complimentary, but was stopped by Sarrier, and said slowly: "It's just you and me here, and I don't like those polite ones. Because I find that you are not stupid, at least smarter than those people." Paladin immediately shut his mouth, he knew the old thing still had something to say, and sure enough, Sarrier continued: "I've heard about your case. The tragedy of the Flamel clan, I am sincerely sorry. I heard that you are good at healing?"

Halfway through, this old thing finally revealed its tail. Paladin immediately nodded humbly and said, "Slightly proficient, because it is white magic that can help others. So I often use it." Who knows that as soon as Paladin's words fell, Sarrier immediately shook his hand impatiently and said, "I've said don't be polite. Are you still telling me these things?"

Ignoring Paladin's reaction after finishing speaking, he directly opened the sleeve of his right hand, revealing a wrinkled, dead branch-like hand on his arm, a white light flashed from the fingers of his left hand, and there was a sound of brushing, and the arm was cut open immediately. A 20 cm big hole. Muddy thick blood flowed out from the mouth immediately. Sarrier raised his head slightly, seeing that Paladin did not show the slightest surprise or doubt, but was as calm as before, and immediately said with a pale face and said with a smile: "I was cut, dear Paladin. Can you stop the bleeding? If I hesitate, I will die here."

Paladin expected such a play, but did not expect this Sarrier would cut himself open so decisively. He originally thought he would test it on himself. You can imagine how confident this old man was in his own healing art. Confident to the point that even if the attainment of his own healing art in front of him is very low, he can easily handle this huge wound.

He saw Paladin smiled slightly and whispered an offense. Very calmly raised his left hand, the palm of his hand covered the wound on his arm, and stroked lightly. The wound healed quickly like a dream. In a short time even the traces of the wound could not be seen, only a piece of still dry skin.

A moment later! Paladin keenly saw. In a moment of wound healing, the old man, who had been very calm, instantly rounded his eyes. He touched his arm in disbelief. And with a shocked look at the young man in front of him who could be his grandson. Finally let out a breath of air. But bizarrely did not say a word, just patted Paladin's shoulder, suddenly shouted: "Macedonia, come in."

As soon as the voice fell, a warrior in chain armor, a white sleeveless robe, a cross helmet, and a shield walked in. Paladin immediately became keenly aware of this person, despite his appearance, but between the eyebrows had a strong calm and composure. Paladin will not feel caring just because the other party has black hair like himself. On the contrary, after he took a closer look, he found that this warrior's chest and shield had symbols of the coat of arms of the Holy See. The one with two keys intersecting and a triple crown coat of arms placed in the middle. In his heart he could not help but whisper: "Holy Church warrior!"

That's right, this man is the Templar, the imperial army dedicated to defending the important people of the Holy See and the order of the Holy City of Kassiri. Just to see this warrior walk up to Archbishop Sarrier immediately reverently kneeled down on one knee. But Sarrier smiled at Palatine and said: "He is called Macedonia. As you can see, is a knight of the Holy Church. You went out with the army, I will not ask what grudges and entanglements there are. Anyway, the safety of the priests with the army is very worrying. This Macedonia will guard your right and left. And will Keep you safe."

"This ... .Your Eminence, I'm just a priest accompanying the army, this is a knight of the Holy Church who is guarding your safety, how can he come to protect me? Your safety and security is the most important thing!" As soon as Paladin heard Sarrier's words, he immediately felt that something big was wrong. The mouth said pretty words of excuse, but his heart was very annoyed. "This old immortal bastard, I've already proved my worth, but still don't trust me. Put a spy on my side to spy, so suspicious for what!"

"Paladin was worried, not that he would be afraid of a templar with less than two hundred magic ring elements. And Sarrier just has just reached 1,500 white light elements. Paladin is naturally not afraid of them in terms of strength. But in this situation, the difference in power and status determines that strength has little effect. It is impossible for him to kill Sarrier directly. Not only would he not become the archbishop, but he would also make it easier for the person who will replace Sarrier, and he would end up fleeing.

That's why Paladin is very annoyed that he has many secrets that cannot be known by outsiders. The refinement of the Philosopher's stone, the all-seeing eye and the power of the golden element. All these things cannot be exposed. Putting a monitor by his side now is really annoying him! Even Paladin also secretly intended to find a time to secretly exterminate this Macedonia. But after thinking about it, Paladin gave up again. He can't kill all the templars if he dies and comes back with another pair. For now, the only thing to do is to find the right time.

Hearing Paladin's excuses, Sarrier immediately glared and said, "What, you don't believe me?" Not waiting for Paladin cursed, he leaned down and whispered in Paladin's ear: "Young people do not do things impetuous. The position of diocesan bishop is not so easy to get. You know, a flock is also divided into several head sheep."

Paladin frowned slightly and knelt on one knee and kissed the ring in Sarrier's hand. Pondering the last words with deep meaning, Sarrier pushed Paladin out of the tent. When Paladin took Tony's horse, which was waiting at the door, and rolled onto it. A glance at Macedonia, who also mounted his horse and followed closely behind, and Sarrier, who once again sat back in his seat and scowled. In his heart, he said: "A few head sheep? It seems that the bishops are not united in this diocese of Kasmi. It's better this way, there is strife, then there is opportunity."

Gradually, Paladin showed a little smile of expectation. Not so annoying to the Macedonia warrior behind him. Raising the leather whip in his hand, he snapped and ran to the group outside that camp. At this time, sitting in the tent Sarrier only slowly opened his eyes, with that usual heavy tone said: "Smart, sensible, and able to behave. The important thing is patience and propriety...This is a pawn that can be used."
