Francis Cathedral·Bishop's Office

"Several clues about the water in the Dream Lake can't be traced back to the pig-nosed masked man. It seems that the water in the Dream Lake is most likely newly acquired water, or it comes from materials from other religions."

In the bishop's office, Bishop Byron took the collected intelligence, frowned, and paced back and forth.

The death of Rhodes made the Church of Dawn completely aware of the existence of the pig-nosed masked man, and all kinds of information immediately poured in like snow.

In a situation where information in all aspects is very scarce, the dreamy lake water, which is rare because it is difficult to obtain, has become an important breakthrough.

"If the newly obtained water can steal the Dream Lake water from under the nose of the old ruler Poklug, the other party must at least have the status of a demigod. If it is really a demigod, it would be a big loss to trade some scraps of supplies."

"Unless the other party has an ulterior motive and deliberately uses the Dream Lake water to set up a trap or even whitewash the source of the lake water, this may be a breakthrough."

"If the supplies come from other religions, and they can bring water from Dream Lake, and then exchange trivial supplies in a hurry...could he be a traitor?"

Bishop Byron's voice was filled with worry.

Above the sixth ring, he is known as a demigod.

This is a realm that even he has not yet reached. If the pig-nosed masked man is really a demigod, this may be a big trouble for Francis.

"Byron, have you forgotten? Father Rhodes was suspected of investigating Arthurs during his lifetime. He has the characteristics of a master of divination and his intuition has always been sharp! Besides, Arthur chose Enochian magic in the Thorn and Rose Magic Association. The suspicion is not small. Why?

Don’t you want to investigate him?”

An old voice suddenly sounded in the office, reminding Bishop Byron.

Bishop Byron frowned, shook his head and said:

"Prejudice will make you selective, old guy, you are crazy."

"Rhodes is a close friend of Atli. Atli died in the Orlando out-of-control incident. I can understand his grief and anger and blaming Arthur, but what you said is not what a guardian should say."

"If you doubt Arthurs based on just one choice of Enochian magic, can I also doubt you, old guy?"

"Do you have an alibi?"

"Do you dare to let the dreamer enter your dream to search?"

"You do not dare!"

"Because you have secrets. Everyone has their own secrets, whether they are humble or ashamed of others. I can understand these."

"Of course, I am not blind to my absolute trust in Arthur. I checked his residence and found nothing. Of course, maybe he is very smart and hid the things."

"But how do you explain the Mengmeng Lake water? It was picked up casually?"

"Or has he been incited to rebel by a heretic, and another heretic is helping him? Which heretic is so stupid, and who instigates rebellion is such a conspicuous person?"

"Don't forget, my holy book once opened its holy eyes and looked at him, and left a motto - see a straw in your neighbor's eye, but not a log in your own eye."

"Well, these words are also suitable for you now - the guardian of Francis."

After the voice fell, the old voice fell into silence and did not retort for a long time.

He could refute many of the arguments made by Bishop Byron, but he could not refute this one only from the Holy Scriptures.

This is a divine item given by the great God of Dawn, and only clergy at the bishop level or above are eligible to obtain it.

It is rumored that it possesses a hint of divinity and can identify heretics.

Since Arthur can pass the holy scripture test, it at least shows that he is not a heretic.

Since he is not a heretic and no one is helping him, then his suspicion is basically close to zero.

"You're right, I was stunned... Huh?" The old voice admitted his mistake, but before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly let out an exclamation of surprise.

"What's wrong?" Bishop Byron asked in surprise. He didn't think it was the guardian who deliberately changed the subject.

"Princess Valentina is here, right in the cathedral! Tsk tsk, she looks quite embarrassed. There is mud all over her body. She doesn't look like a princess at all. I wonder what happened to her? Well, Adelaide didn't come with her.

, could it be that he encountered an accident and was entangled by his enemies?"

The old voice had a hint of surprise and uncertainty.

Bishop Byron was surprised when he heard this, turned around, walked to his desk, and rang the desk bell.

"Squeak!" A priest opened the door and waited for orders.

"There is a ragged believer in the cathedral, call her over." Bishop Byron ordered.

"Yes!" The priest said the dawn salute and turned to leave.

Not long after, Valentina stepped into the bishop's office with a pale face. She was severely exhausted from riding horses for almost a day.

Especially when she loses all her strength.

"It doesn't look good to you? What happened?"

After Bishop Byron sat at the high desk, his face was cold, his hands were folded, and he looked cold and distant.

"I, I was assassinated by a demigod, and my uncle Adelaide is suspected to be dead!"

Valentina took a deep breath and told the news that would shock the Harrington Kingdom!

Sure enough, Bishop Byron's pupils shrank when he heard this.

"Demigod? What characteristics of power does he show? How did you escape from the demigod?"

Bishop Byron asked urgently.

After saying that, he noticed that Valentina was breathing heavily, her face was pale, she looked haggard, and she was almost fainting.

"Please sit down and speak slowly."

Bishop Byron pointed to the seat in front of the high desk, and a ghost quietly appeared beside him, holding a bottle of extraordinary potion and sending it over.

"Thanks!"

Vallentina thanked her, took the extraordinary potion and drank it in one gulp, an unnatural blush immediately appeared on her face.

However, her energy and energy improved a lot after taking this bottle of extraordinary potion.

She sat on the chair, straightened her back, and finally regained her princess temperament.

"The other party is a man wearing a mask that looks like a pig nose..."

"What do you mean, a pig-nose mask? But what does it look like?"

Bishop Byron interrupted Valentina's description in shock and presented the ghost of the extraordinary potion. The body suddenly changed and turned into a slightly abstract pig-nosed masked man.

"It's Him!"

Vallentina's face changed drastically as she looked at the ghost that had changed into a pseudomorphous form. The princess temperament she had managed so hard to maintain suddenly collapsed at this moment.

She couldn't help but tremble because of fear.

Bishop Byron's face darkened, and he waved his hand to disperse the mimic ghost.

"It's very safe here. Even if a demigod comes in person, he can still hold on for a quarter of an hour, so there's no need to worry. Let's talk about the specific situation!" Bishop Byron skillfully reassured and then asked.

"Um……"

Vallentina nodded slightly with lingering fear.

She sorted out her words a little, and told the story of the assassination, no, the rape, by the man in the pig-nosed mask, not sparing every detail.

She even told her biggest secret "twin bodies, one soul".

Since this secret has been used, there is no need to hide it.

In fact, she couldn't hide it.

As her story ended, the office fell into a long silence.

The man in the pig-nosed mask turned out to be a demigod-level transcendent... This was beyond Bishop Byron's expectation!

"This is a serious matter. I can't believe your words, so I need hypnosis to verify it. Do you need a witness?" Bishop Byron said solemnly.

Theoretically speaking, dream searches are the easiest way to detect subconscious situations.

However, Valentina is the princess of the kingdom after all, so Bishop Byron took the next step and chose hypnosis specifically for dreamers.

"No need, if I couldn't even believe in faith, I wouldn't be here." Vallentina said solemnly.

"Very good! Just a final reminder. If there are any details that have not been mentioned, you can add them now. If you are asked anything inconsistent with your answers during hypnosis, you will be judged by the trial conference!" Bishop Byron finally warned.

"No additions, no witnesses required!"

Valentina was mentally prepared and said in a deep voice.

"very good!"

Bishop Byron nodded with satisfaction, reached out and grabbed the little angel's silver pastoral staff, and paused on the floor.

Immediately, an ascetic monk appeared in the office, and after receiving the order from Bishop Byron, he began to conduct hypnotic questioning on Valentina.

The content of the inquiry was basically the same as Bishop Byron’s previous inquiry.

I just selectively asked for some details to prevent Vallentina from being planted with anti-hypnotic suggestions.

The final hypnotic result satisfied Bishop Byron.

Dreaming and hypnosis are powerful interrogation tools of the church. There are not many extraordinary people who can resist these two types of interrogations, and most of them are very powerful.
