The arrogance of the city

Chapter 683

Pu Xin.

St. Robbia's Cathedral.

A figure in a red robe stood quietly in front of the statue, facing the statue, with his hands crossed in front of his chest, his eyes closed, and he seemed to be praying silently.

As we all know, the people of Longguo have no faith and do not believe in religion, but there are many people who come to pray in this church on weekdays.

It's like some people who don't believe in Buddhism occasionally go to temples to offer incense during festivals, just to seek a short-term peace of mind.

Perhaps because the new year was approaching, the church had been closed a week ago and was no longer open to the public. The church in Nuo Da was empty and deserted at the moment.

"Squeak..."

Suddenly, the heavy door of the church was pushed open, and an ordinary-looking middle-aged man slowly approached.

The red-robed figure in front of the statue seemed unaware, still motionless.

There were footsteps in the silent church.

The unremarkable middle-aged man walked to the statue without haste, looking at the tall and majestic statue, his eyes were as calm as water.

He is not religious.

Coming here is not to worship God.

A few minutes later, the red-robed figure seemed to realize that there was an uninvited guest beside him. His hands around his chest gradually drooped, and he turned around slowly.

The hat that was integrated with the red robe covered his hair, and only his face was exposed, giving him a sense of mystery for no reason.

"I see that Your Excellency has no reverence for the statue, so there must be something else to come here?"

His voice is very gentle, but also very melodious, ups and downs in an empty church, just like the sound of a bell hitting people's hearts, with a kind of power that shakes people's hearts.

The middle-aged man also turned around, with a peaceful and friendly smile on his ordinary face.

"My lord bishop is here in Longguo. I will visit you from now on because of emotion and reason."

The red-robed man also smiled slowly, and put his hands on his cuffs.

"I have heard for a long time that Longguo is warm and hospitable, and it really lives up to its reputation. May I ask your name?"

The middle-aged man kindly announced his family name.

"Dragon Kingdom National Security Bureau, Luo Wenzhou."

The man in the red robe seemed a little surprised.

"I didn't expect Director Luo to come here in person, and I have admired his name for a long time."

"My lord bishop, you are being polite. I don't know why your lord bishop came all the way to the East?"

The red-robed man smiled kindly: "I've heard about Long Kingdom's treasures and treasures, and its outstanding people, so I've always wanted to come and see it. Director Luo won't welcome you, right?"

"of course not."

Luo Wenzhou shook his head and said: "Since the opening of the country, our Dragon Kingdom has always welcomed friends from all over the world. If the Bishop came to visit, I would naturally welcome him in every possible way, but I am just worried. The Bishop came here this time for something special. As pictured."

He paused, then continued.

"My lord bishop, I'm a rough man, maybe I speak a little more straightforwardly, please don't take offense."

The man in the red robe shook his head, his smile didn't change, it was open and sincere.

"I admire Director Luo's dedication and patriotism, but please rest assured that Director Luo has no malice towards your country."

Luo Wenzhou stared at him for a while, then slowly said: "Master Bishop, our country and your organization have always had a friendly relationship, and we also hope that this friendship can always be maintained."

"Of course."

The red-robed man smiled and nodded.

"Our temple has always upheld the principle of being friendly and developing together with the governments of all countries. It was in the past, it is now, and it will be in the future. This will never change."

"With the words of the Bishop, I am relieved."

Luo Wenzhou withdrew his gaze from the face of the red-robed man, and turned his head to look at the tall statue enshrined in front of the church.

"Master Bishop, this should be the first time you have come to the East, right?"

The man in the red robe nodded, turned around, and said softly to the statue, "The development of your country really surprised me. Those ignorant western countries should come and have a look."

Luo Wenzhou smiled, noncommittal.

"My lord bishop has just arrived here, and I'm afraid I'm not familiar with many places in our country. Why don't you let me be a tour guide and show you around, my lord bishop?"

"Director Luo is too polite, you are so busy with business, how can I let you waste time with me."

"My lord bishop's words are wrong. The end of the year is approaching, and I actually have nothing to be busy with. I have been busy for a year, and I should give myself a vacation. People have to combine work and rest, right?"

The red-robed man smiled and nodded.

"That makes sense."

"So, the bishop's arrival is at the right time. If the bishop doesn't dislike it, can I let you be a companion with the bishop?"

Luo Wenzhou's face is pleasant, but his attitude outside the words is extremely tough.

No matter how pleasant the red-robed man's words were, he couldn't easily relax his vigilance.

It is a very dangerous thing to allow such a character to come and go freely in one's own country.

For example, last time in Kunnan, a whole village was killed at the hands of Wu Muku, which was a bloody lesson for the past.

Although that human tragedy was effectively suppressed and not exposed, such a thing obviously cannot happen again!
In any case, he must strictly control the other party's whereabouts.

The man in red fell silent, staring at Luo Wenzhou with dark green pupils.

The corner of Luo Wenzhou's mouth was smiling, and he met his gaze without dodging or avoiding it.

"Since Director Luo is so kind, I'd rather be respectful than obedient."

A few seconds later, the red-robed man smiled and spoke, as if he had chosen to compromise.

Luo Wenzhou's smile became brighter, "It is also a blessing for Wenzhou to be able to swim with the Bishop."

The man in red turned around, looked out of the church through the door that Luo Wenzhou pushed open.

Squinting his eyes lightly, he said leisurely: "I've heard that Donghai is the most developed city in Dragon Country, and it really didn't disappoint. Next, I wonder if Director Luo can take me to Kyoto for a while?"

It seemed that he was really just here for sightseeing. After visiting the richest city in Dragon Kingdom, his next target was the core of power in Dragon Kingdom.

Luo Wenzhou's eyes flickered quietly.

As the red-robed archbishop, he was considered a core figure in the temple, so he naturally didn't believe that the other party's purpose was really just to play as he said on the surface.

Unexpectedly, he came to the East China Sea without warning, stayed for several days, and after being found by himself, he immediately proposed to go to the capital. What exactly does this red-robed bishop want to do?
He couldn't understand the other party's thoughts, the only thing he could do was to keep the other party within his sight.

"Of course no problem."

Luo Wenzhou readily agreed.

It doesn't matter if you go to the capital, the emperor's feet are heavily guarded, and if you go there, his pressure will be much less.

The red-robed man withdrew his gaze from outside the door.

"I don't know if Director Luo has anything to do in the East China Sea? If not, we can leave immediately."

"In such a hurry?"

"It's shameful to waste time, isn't it?"

The man in the red robe stared at him, his pupils were deep and dark, stretching as far as the eye could see.
