Peter's footsteps paused, "I didn't stay. That woman was very cunning. She had planned her position well in advance and left a way out for herself. I don't dare to fight with anyone under that thing's nose."

"So Eternal Night Church, this is a successful operation?"

Lu Chen frowned, a little dissatisfied with the result. Neither the Guardian's Dagger nor Clement was recovered, and the person who guarded the inheritance place died.

Peter turned around and looked at Lu Chen, "Mr. Lu seems a little unhappy. You killed the Sin Archbishop of the Eternal Night Church."

Lu Chen was silent for a moment, "...can I ask if the church had foreseen Yong Ye's attack a long time ago?"

Peter patted Lu Chen's shoulder and said, "As we walked, we should at least go to Beihai Province for a late-night snack first."

The two were walking on the beach, and Peter said, "Do you think the church is too ruthless and doesn't take human life seriously for fishing?"

"Isn't it?"

Lu Chen said what he had to say directly.

Peter sighed, "There are only two of us tonight, let me tell you a story first."

Lu Chen didn't interrupt, saying he was willing to listen.

"There was once a fisherman's child who grew up by the sea in the interior, not behind us, but the ocean in the south..."

Peter said slowly, "He lived a very happy life when he was a child, but when he was ten years old, his parents were killed in a shipwreck. Even though his father said that he was a man who wanted to conquer the sea, he still died in the storm."

"The child who had no one to take care of him cried for days and nights, but people always have to survive. So he set up his small fishing boat and wanted to go fishing, but fishing was not that simple. He didn't do it at all.

Not good, and he seems to have had bad luck with pirates."

"When the pirates saw that there was nothing valuable on the fishing boat and it was just a boy, the first mate said to kill him. The boy got smart and said he wanted to be a pirate and wanted to hang out with them. Finally, the captain nodded, and the boy

Then he started his pirate career again."

"It was said that he was a pirate. In fact, he was so small and weak at that time that he could not fight and kill. He could only do some laundry and cooking. Later, he found that the sea was not beautiful at all, and his life was dark and endless. Until one day

, that dilapidated pirate ship encountered a small boat on the sea."

When Peter said this, he paused and said, "This is a very strange thing. The pirates were all shocked. It was an inland sea and the waves were very big. The small boat seemed to be easily capsized in the river. So what?

Will anyone be able to cross the sea standing on it?"

"There is a monk wearing a yellow robe standing on the boat... You may not know what a monk is. It is a belief passed down from the second era. Our Morning Support Church is not authoritarian and allows some people to have special beliefs.

, as long as they are not evil, but even so, monks are still rare."

"At that time, he saw a bald person for the first time, and he thought to himself, wouldn't it be too cold in winter for this person to have such a hairstyle? The captain was also confused at that time, but he still ordered to leave the person alone, and he would hide in the boat at a glance.

No treasure."

"But the monk took the initiative to come over, got into the boat, and defeated all the pirates alone. What's funny is that he didn't kill anyone. Instead, he started to lecture the pirates on the scriptures and advised them to be good. He continued

For three weeks we were at sea listening to the monk's chatter."

"In the end, the first mate on the ship couldn't bear it anymore and committed suicide. The boy didn't understand it because he thought what the monk said was beautiful and there was nothing wrong with it."

Peter and Lu Chen were walking on the ground, seemingly slowly, but the road was quickly left behind them.

"Later, under the monk's lecture, the pirates cried bitterly and said that they would do good deeds, never do evil and plunder again, and go to the local city to surrender. Only then did the monk stop the lecture with satisfaction."

Having said this, Peter laughed to himself a few times, "Actually, I think they were annoyed by the chanting, and felt that being in jail was better than listening to the monks chanting all day long."

"Then what?"

Lu Chen praised him.

"Before landing, the monk asked the boy on the boat if he would like to go with him. Because the boy was only twelve years old and had never killed anyone. The monk probably thought he was pitiful, so he said he was willing to raise him.

Of course he agrees, he has acquired the days of being abused on the ship."

"Later, the monk took the boy away and raised him. He traveled around the mainland for two years. He went around giving lectures to people and wanted to promote good ideas. During this period, he also helped people with some things. He also collected money. The boy

When I asked the monk at first, didn’t he say that monks do not love worldly things when they practice?”

"The monk just laughed and said nothing. He collected very little money, just enough for him and the boy to eat and have a slight surplus. After three years, the monk said to the boy one day that he wanted to send him to school.

The son was very frightened and asked if he had done something wrong and the monk did not want him anymore."

"The monk said no, he just thought that the boy should receive education and maybe have a better future in the future. He saw that the boy was not a man who could practice asceticism and was not suitable for his faith. He hoped that the boy could grow up in the future.

To take care of himself, the boy finally agreed and was sent to study at the Junior College in Porphia."

"The monk is still traveling around, helping others, and after saving a little money, he wants to send the boy to a higher college in the future. The boy is also very promising and very smart. He graduated from the junior college in just one year and is in higher education.

It took two and a half years to complete all the courses in the college.”

"Finally, the monk took out his savings and sent the boy to a special seminary in the royal capital. He said goodbye to the boy, saying that he wanted to see the West and that he might not see him for a long time."

"The boy was very scared. In his heart, the monk was his second father and his only relative. He was afraid that he would never see him again after this parting. But the monk was very insistent and just said that if one day he

After graduating from the seminary and starting his own business in Morning Support Church, maybe he will come back."

"The boy listened to the monk's words very much. He studied hard, entered the church after graduation, and worked hard to climb up. Everyone looked down on him, so he had to think highly of himself and wait for the monk to come back."

Peter's narration was very slow, but the two of them were traveling very fast. By this point, they had arrived at the northernmost city in Haibei Province. Standing in front of the city gate, the Pope paid the city entrance fee in a very orderly manner.

You have to pay money.

"But year after year passed, the boy grew into a boy, the boy grew into a young man, he grew from a monk to a priest, from a priest to a night watchman, from a safe level to a special level. No matter how hard he can wait for that monk to come back."

"In the year when he was about to go to the West and follow the monk's footsteps, the monk returned to the royal capital. He looked a bit older and had changed greatly from the young appearance in his memory. The boy asked the monk how he must have lived in the West for so many years.

Did you see a lot of interesting things?"

"But the monk just shook his head and said that he had come back many years ago and was just wandering on the sea. The boy was very confused as to why he wanted to go to sea again. The monk patted the boy on the shoulder and said that he could go back and worship his own

parents."

"After returning to his hometown, the boy discovered that his parents' tomb had been renovated, and it was clear that real people were buried inside, because he was still an extraordinary person at that time and could feel the feeling of blood connection. It turned out that the monk

Over the years, we have been searching for the remains of the boy’s parents.”

When Peter said this, he smiled and said, "You said that monk is not ridiculous, just because the boy once said that he wanted to see his parents again and wanted them to be buried in the ground, so the monk did it, but the monk didn't know that the boy

In fact, I just want to stay with the monks and spend more time together."

He took Lu Chen to an outdoor food stall, asked the stall owner to serve a barrel of cheap beer, and poured a glass of beer on his own.

He smiled wildly, until tears appeared in the corners of his eyes, and placed the wine glass heavily on the table, "That boy is me, and the monk is Master Yideng."

Lu Chen remained silent.

"You asked me if I had anticipated the attack by the Eternal Night Church. The answer is no. Our insider information in the Eternal Night Church is that the Eternal Night Church is conducting an investigation into the place that protects the inheritance. We may have found it now.

It was in the southern province, so I sent two of the Four Horsemen of the Dawn there."

Peter took another swig and said, "I don't know if the insider has betrayed him or if the information is reliable. I contacted Master Yideng once and wanted to go to him in person to lurk for a while, but Master Yideng taught me a lesson.

He said that now that I am the Pope, how can I leave the royal capital lightly?"

"So I asked Ji Wujiu to arrange for you, the newly rising one, to go to him to strengthen your guard strength, because you are not the Four Knights of the Dawn. If you were, he would still teach me a lesson."

He refilled the glass and said, "He just loves to teach people. It's different from when he was young. Since he became an instructor guarding the place of inheritance, he has become more stern. When he was young, he was reciting sutras, but when he is old, he is very strict."

"Ji Wujiu said that you have just arrived in the capital and need to settle in. I will give you two days to recuperate before you are sent out. After all, you may have to stay for at least half a year. I nodded and agreed, but it was just one day late. Everything was different.

Already."

Peter drank one glass after another. Considering his physical condition, he would not get drunk no matter how much he drank this kind of wine, but his mood was not stable anymore.

"Sorry to hear this story."

Lu Chen clinked glasses with Peter and downed the drink in one gulp, "So everything is just a temporary arrangement. The church has already done a good job."

It turned out that the church was not on the fifth floor. It was just a temporary response and it was moved back to the first floor.

"I am not saying this to win sympathy, nor am I trying to say how good Ji Wujiu and I are at temporary coping abilities. I just want you to understand that when you are at the decision-making level, you need to think carefully and estimate all kinds of risks.

Don’t make mistakes like me. No matter how many tears you shed afterwards, they will be in vain.”

Peter sighed.

"But I'm just a country boy with some strength. I only know how to fight and kill."

Lu Chen called the boss and asked him to bring in a few more barrels of wine.

The food stall owner would never have thought that the slovenly man wearing the white robe of the lowest monk and the young man wearing a tattered black trench coat sitting outside would be big shots that could shake the world.

"You have to understand that Ji Wujiu and I are getting old after all, and the church needs new successors."

Peter looked directly into Lu Chen's eyes, "I think you are very good."

Lu Chen shook his head and smiled: "I heard that there is another saint in the church. Isn't she the suitable successor? Or, is she the real guardian?"

Peter was silent for a moment, "It seems you have guessed that Clement was indeed placed as a substitute to protect the inheritance."

"Is he fake?"

Lu Chen asked in confirmation.

But to his surprise, Peter shook his head, "No, he is the real guardian, so we will lose everything this time."

Lu Chen was really shocked this time. How dare the church be so bold and arrange the real guardian like this?

"Don't be surprised. The Holy City may not be absolutely safe. The guardians are only mortals until they reach the age of eighteen. Even if there is a master's surprise attack under my nose, it is still very easy to kill a mortal. It is better to keep it secret
