When Gawain took Amber and Hetty and followed the soldiers' guidance to a construction site near the brick kiln, the strange priest who suddenly appeared in the territory had been busy for a while.
This is a slovenly, dusty and extremely strong man. He is working with the workers to deliver baskets of heavy bricks to the place where the wall is being built, even though it is already the end of the cold frosty moon. , but like the workers, he was so exhausted that he took off his old priest robe and tied it around his waist as a loincloth, revealing the strong muscles and bronze skin of his upper body.
That fleshy arm looks like it is ready to die with the infidels at any time.
The workers were immersed in working with this man who suddenly appeared, but from time to time they secretly looked up at him. Apparently they had already discovered that this was a strange stranger, and at the construction site The supervisor (and recorder) looked on with helplessness. After discovering the arrival of the lord, the supervisor immediately ran towards him: "Sir! You are here, this is really..."
"What's going on with this person?" Gawain looked at the strong man on the construction site who was immersed in moving bricks in confusion, "Priest of the Holy Light Church? This style of painting? Why did he suddenly come to my territory to do this? Come to life?”
“We don’t know where he came from!” The supervisor looked crazy, “He just said that he was sent to the south to preach, and then asked the workers if they had any questions. Who is interested in the Holy Light? Who knows the origin of this person? Of course no one paid any attention to him. I also told him that no one had time to listen to him since everyone had not finished their work, but this person actually said nothing. As soon as he said that, he ran to move the bricks, and he couldn't stop him - he was so strong! "...Looking at his size, you can tell that he is very strong," Amber looked at the sturdy man in shock! Looking at the big man, she was excited when she heard that a suspected Holy Light Sect priest came here. She was ready to fight the opponent for 300 rounds (or be beaten up by the opponent) and then ask Gao Wen to extort some medical expenses. She had planned to do this, but she didn't even think that such a number one person was coming. She was a little overwhelmed and asked, "Isn't this really a paladin who went out wearing the wrong clothes and came out wearing a robe?"
The overseer spread his hands: "I asked, and he said he was a missionary traveling from the central region."
Gawain frowned and looked at the soldiers who followed and the overseer in front of him. Waving his hand: "Don't be nervous, I'll go over and make contact."
As he said that, he led Amber and Hetty forward.
The workers soon saw Gawain approaching. They nervously and awe-strickenly stopped their work and prepared to salute, but Gawain stopped them with his eyes and waved his hand. : "Don't worry about me, just do your own thing."
The strong man working finally noticed the change in the atmosphere. He unloaded a basket of bricks from his shoulders, looked up and looked around. Then he turned to look at Gawain: "Here comes the steward? Is he the steward?"
This style of speaking... is really not like the kind of priests that are common in Holy Light Church.
Gawain is now rarely wearing casual clothes. Although he has brought the pioneer sword with him, it is blocked by the scabbard. Apart from his outstanding height, it may be difficult for an outsider to recognize this at the first time when traveling. A big man beside him who could not be seen by the decent guards was associated with Duke Cecil (Amber was not a decent guard), and realizing that the strong man in front of him did not see his identity, Gawain followed him and said: "Yes, I am the manager of this area. What do you do?"
"Great, I finally met someone who can speak effectively!" The big man looked particularly happy, and he wiped the I sweated a little, then fumbled around for a long time from the robe tied around my waist, and finally took out a crumpled document and handed it over, "Can you help me give this to your lord? I looked at it from a high place before. After waiting for a long time, he still couldn't find his castle."
Gawain took the document and sat down on a pile of bricks nearby. He motioned for the other party to sit down as well, and then he looked down. , saw this document written on high-grade parchment, but there was only a simple sentence on it: The Lord's loyal servant, the priest of the Holy Light, Wright Aviken, is hereby appointed to go to the southern territory to preach the Lord's teachings and spread the way of the Holy Light.
There is also the emblem of the Holy Light Church and the seal of a certain bishop below.
Is this really a missionary?
Gawain was stunned for a moment, then put away the document: "Okay, I will hand it over, but I have to ask you a few questions first."
"Okay...ah Wait a minute." The big man nodded halfway before he suddenly stood up and stopped a serf who was walking by him. "Wait a minute, there's something wrong with your arm."
That serf. He stopped blankly, and suddenly showed a hint of nervousness when he saw Gawain sitting next to him, but the latter just nodded slightly, saying that he didn't need to care - Gawain was also very curious about what this inexplicable missionary wanted to do. .
Then he saw the missionary named "Wright" putting one hand on the serf's shoulder, and the other hand drew the emblem of the God of Holy Light in the air, and read Reciting the words of blessing, and as the prayer progressed, a faint white light also appeared on his hands, and a quiet and peaceful atmosphere filled the surrounding air - the shirtless, slovenly strong man was standing there. This holy light actually seemed to have a slight sense of holiness. < /p>
The serf moved his shoulders incredulously, probably feeling obvious comfort. He couldn't help nodding his thanks to Wright with an excited expression, and then returned to his working position while moving his shoulders.
Preacher Wright clapped his hands as if he had finished a trivial task, turned to look at Gawain: "I'm done, you can ask."
Gawain's whole process I watched this whole thing calmlyDuring the whole process, I was only a little surprised at the end that this "preacher" only said "May the Lord bless you" instead of taking this opportunity to stop the person and talk about the way of the Holy Light for half an hour. Then he replied After coming to his senses, he nodded to Wright: "Are you here to preach?"
"The document said that I was sent by the Central Diocese." The man nodded, "The signature is Megao Bishop Er. It has been more than a year since I started from the Holy Spirit Plain and walked all the way here. I spent a small part of the time traveling and most of the time preaching.”
He then added. Next: "I only recently learned about the Cecil family's establishment of a new settlement here. Originally, my last stop was Tanzania Town, but now, my last stop is here. I plan to grow up here. Stay here, and if you can get the permission of the resurrected Duke, you can build a church here."
Amber poked Gawain's arm and whispered: "Hey, what about you~~ "
Gawain calmly tensed the muscles in his arm, causing Amber's fingers to retract painfully as if they were poking at the steel plate. Then he frowned and looked at Wright: "Then why did you suddenly Are you here to help with the work?"
"The supervisor just said that everyone is working so they don't have time to listen to my preaching," Wright shrugged, "Then I will help them finish the work. Can you preach?"
"Because of this?"
Wright said matter-of-factly: "Yes, just because of this."
At this time. Hetty finally couldn't help but speak: "Excuse me, but I have also seen missionaries from the Holy Light Church traveling abroad, but they are not like you... Were you a Holy Knight before?"
< p> "I am a priest, always have been," Wright looked down at the muscles on his body and took it for granted again, "But it is more dangerous to preach outside. I often encounter wild beasts and robbers. The priest himself has too few combat skills. Exercise is also good for self-protection. And sometimes when you don’t have enough money, you have to do some work for the locals to get some food. It’s not enough if you don’t have a strong body.”“The mission of the Holy Light Church. Shiko has no tradition of working for food," Heti said with a strange look, "Extraordinary people don't need to sell their physical strength wherever they go, let alone selling their physical strength to ordinary people. I have never heard of such a thing."
< p> "Madam, you are wrong," Wright immediately looked serious, "The way of the Holy Light tells us that people cannot get something for nothing, and the way of the Holy Light also tells us that everyone is a citizen of the Holy Light, so since We are all people of the Holy Light, so why should we distinguish between ordinary people and ordinary people?"Hu Bo looked up and down at the strong man in surprise: "Do you really take these words seriously? "
Wright once again showed a natural expression: "How can the teachings of the Holy Light be regarded as fake?"
Looking at this strange missionary, Gawain was stunned. Time did not speak.
He was quickly thinking about whether there was anything suspicious about the person in front of him, guessing whether he was the same as Vero’s previous friend.It is related to the visit of Princess Nika, and it is speculated how credible what he said is.
If those words are true, then there seems to be nothing to worry about - the Holy Light Priest started traveling a year ago, and at that time, Gawain had not yet unveiled his coffin. , the arrival of this pastor was an accident.
If it is not true, the sudden arrival of a Holy Light missionary in this territory is a relatively sensitive matter in Gawain's opinion.
But somehow, looking at this Holy Light Missionary with a unique painting style, Gawain always felt that this matter... had nothing to do with conspiracy.
But no matter what, even if he is wary and alienated from the belief in the gods in this world, as a lord, he cannot just drive out such a missionary, especially the other party. When he had not broken any laws in this land and even took the initiative to help with work and treat patients, he couldn't do this even more - otherwise the law and order he himself implemented would be undermined.
And he also wanted to observe and see where this person came from and what his purpose was.
While Gawain was thinking, missionary Wright was also looking at the three people in front of him, and suddenly asked: "By the way, are you three interested in the way of the Holy Light?"< /p>
Gawain and the three of them did not agree at all:
"I am a believer in the goddess of magic, and I no longer want to believe in other gods."
"You are lame, I I believe in Shadow!"
"Not interested, thank you."
Preacher Wright nodded: "Oh, forget it."
