The temple of Heironeth is not within the city of Brevoir, but outside the city across the river from the city wall.

Due to the Brevar people's love for fire and handicrafts such as forging and smelting, the most mainstream religion in the area was Gond, the god of craftsmen, and the temple of Heironeis was still a minority at that time.

When Brevor 13 came to power, he vigorously promoted the faith of Heirones, and the common people followed suit, and the God of Warriors became mainstream.

But at this time, we faced a problem: the size of the temple was not enough.

Originally it was just a niche with few believers. When it became a mainstream belief, the small church could no longer satisfy believers' daily prayers and had to be expanded.

But there is no empty land in the city. If you want to expand the temple, you must either demolish the temple in Gond and give it to Heronis, or demolish private houses or workshops.

The priests of Heironeth did not want to conflict with the priests of Gond, nor did they want to compete with the people, so they preferred Brevo 13 to place the new temple outside the city.

Generally speaking, temples should be built as grandly as possible, but the temple of Heronis looks less like a religious building and more like a military building. It's just not at the level of a fortress or a castle, but it looks a bit like an urn.

.

Behind the towering wall is a training ground. In addition to being used by the priests and paladins of the temple, they also provide assistance to anyone who is willing to become a guardian or knight.

On the other side is a fairly small hospital. The teachings of Heronis include protecting the weak and saving the suffering people. The priests will provide medical services at low fees, and even for poor people, they will be completely free.

The main reason why they can do this is because Brevo 13th gives a large subsidy to the temple every year. Otherwise, given their status as a charity temple, all the money they have will have to be spent.

It was already evening when Pei Renli rushed back to the fortress from the devil's stronghold. When he took the carriage to the temple, it was completely dark when he arrived.

He was not the only one who came back. Due to Korra's big mouth, all the insiders were brought back to prevent the news from being exposed.

The temple should have been well prepared. When the carriage in which Pei Renli and the others arrived, even though there was a high wall blocking the way, a group of priests hurriedly welcomed them in as if they were covering some important secret.

After drinking black tea and eating biscuits in the reception room, we waited for ten minutes before a pastor came to inform us that the regional bishop was ready for a meeting, but only Pei Renli was in sight.

Eve quickly told Pei Renli to be careful with his bad words. It would be fine if he didn't keep his mouth shut. It would be easy to cause accidents if he behaved carelessly with the regional bishop.

This made Varela, who was not very familiar with Pei Renli, regret a little. Why was she so straightforward and directly reported Pei Renli's name...

In short, after struggling for a while, Perrenli followed the pastor who led the way to the regional bishop's office.

He sat on the sofa, with the regional bishop sitting opposite him.

"Hello, Mr. Pei Renli, nice to meet you."

"Me too, nice to meet you, Bishop Wanda."

On the way before arriving, Perrenli learned some basic information about the regional bishop from Varela, at least he knew his name.

But when I saw it with my own eyes, I realized that this bishop was different from what I imagined.

Heirones, the God of Braves, requires believers to restrain themselves with the virtues of knights, and encourages believers to overcome all difficulties and challenges and launch many wars against evil camps. The targets include but are not limited to evil organizations and even evil gods.

Perenli felt that his priests should all be martial sects with extremely strong fighting skills, and the regional bishop who appeared in front of Perenli looked like a kind old lady.

It is estimated that she is a half-elf. It is unknown whether she was as stunningly beautiful as most half-elves when she was young, but she is indeed too old now.

Although he can still stand upright and sit upright without being too stooped, the years have indeed left an indelible mark on this bishop.

His temperament is not special either. He feels like the old lady next door who watched you grow up, without any dignity as a regional bishop.

The most special thing is that her eyes are covered with a piece of black cloth, so she is probably blind.

Usually those who have black cloth over their eyes are priests of Tyr, the god of justice. I don’t know why the priest who thinks he is good at healing chooses to remain blind.

"This does not affect my daily life and work needs of reviewing documents. I don't even have to worry about presbyopia."

Perhaps noticing Pei Renli's gaze, she explained briefly.

There are many abilities to see without the help of the naked eye. Strictly speaking, the same is true for the secret eye that Pei Renli often uses. Perhaps this regional bishop has some unique visual ability.

"Mr. Pei Renli, I would like to ask you to describe what happened in detail."

There were no meaningless pleasantries, and the regional bishop quickly got to the point.

Perrenli told them how they discovered the cultists, how they followed the cultists to find the devil's stronghold, and a series of operations after entering. Except for the need to conceal the existence of the maid golem and Ravna, there was nothing that couldn't be said.

By the way, Ravna did not follow her into the temple. Because the temple is equivalent to the god's territory in the mortal world, even if her ability to hide in the shadows is difficult to detect, it is still not safe in other people's territory, so Perenli was there.

On the way here, I used telepathic communication to instruct Ravna to hide in the shadows outside the temple.

After explaining the process and details, Pei Renli took out the box full of letters found in the devil's stronghold from his backpack. He checked it on the way and found that there was nothing more noteworthy, so he simply took it out and gave it to the regional bishop.

.

With the integrity of the followers of Heronis, the temple will definitely not take it in vain, and there should still be rewards and other rewards.

Seeing that Bishop Wanda seemed to be thinking about something, Pei Renli asked:

"Your Majesty, I have a question."

"Please tell me."

"Why did you summon me?"

To be precise, why only Pei Renli was summoned?

The whole thing was done by four people including Pei Renli, which can be regarded as the credit of the team itself. The regional bishop got the news and wanted to ask the whole story. Logically speaking, the entire team that actually participated should be summoned, not just Pei Renli himself.

.

This made Pei Renli a little confused.

"The report from the Varila cultivators mentioned that you are a mage. I just think it would be clearer and more accurate if you tell the story."

She smiled and said:

"Please forgive me for being an old man who doesn't like noise very much."

Mages are high-level intellectuals, while most adventurers are illiterate and cannot read a single Chinese character. Therefore, asking Perrenli about the whole incident is not only clearer but also more in line with the bishop's communication habits.

Although this reason is reasonable, it is not convincing enough.

When Pei Renli was about to ask further questions, Bishop Wanda said first:

"As for the devil's assistance in Brevoir City, we are actually aware of it and have done some investigation in advance."

There are really no idiots who can reach a high position.

The demons were causing trouble at the garden party. If they had returned to the abyss at that time, the temple would have only traced who summoned the demons. But they had actually been operating in the river kingdoms for more than a month. Without sufficient supplies, even the demons could

Everyone must become hungry.

So everyone knows that the devil has helpers, and there are more than one or two. Naturally, investigations into these helpers are also ongoing.

But when the regional bishop told Perrenli this, it was not just a casual chat.

"According to the clues we have received, Brevo's demonic facilitators should be among high-level nobles, which makes it difficult for us to investigate further."

Even if Heronis is the mainstream belief, the temple cannot and does not dare to interfere with the royal power, because this will arouse strong resentment among all the kingdoms in the mortal world.

Therefore, the temple has a high status but does not have any real power.

In this case, even if there is some evidence, it is very troublesome to investigate the nobles, and it is a dangerous weapon.

"But your arrival has given me some new ideas."

"Your Majesty Bishop, do you want to entrust me to investigate?"

The temple of Heironeth is still considered a local snake in Brevoir, and Perrenli can only be regarded as an outsider here, so asking him to check it out is obviously even more unreliable.

"We just need some reliable outside help."

Bishop said:

"In the name of the temple, a fundraising banquet prepared to deal with demons will be held at the palace tonight. All the nobles of Brevar will attend. You also know that we are highly visible there and are watched all the time. We need

Some reliable unfamiliar faces can help us keep an eye on the guests' movements."

"Is this a formal commission?"

"Of course, we will never treat any friend badly."

The subtext is that as long as you agree, you will get the reward.

It's easier to deal with the priests of the Temple of the Good God. At least you don't have to be too wary of whether they are holding back evil, and they are very moral.

"I just have one question, why us?"

"I believe the report of the Varela church members. You and your companions are trustworthy friends."

This question seems to have been simply brushed aside.

Perrenli felt that he did not have any characteristics that would attract the attention of the temple. He had never exposed the power of the Demon King. Even if he was in the temple, even if Heronis descended to earth, he should not be able to directly see it.

However, Bishop Wanda only saw Pei Renli by name and asked him for help, but the reasons he gave were unconvincing, as if they were prevaricating.

Although it doesn't look like it's dangerous, it feels very strange.

"Sorry, we are still students, not formal adventurers. Your request is only on my personal behalf..."

Before Pei Renli could finish his rejection, Bishop Wanda raised a finger with a smile:

"At least one magic item."

Even though the black cloth was covering her eyes, she could clearly feel that her eyes were staring at Pei Renli:

"I promise, the reward will definitely satisfy you."

Pei Renli quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, opened his mouth and seemed to struggle, and finally said:

"Okay, you convinced me."
