Starting from the Dragon Tribe

Peter's footsteps paused, "I didn't stay. That woman was very cunning. She had planned her position well in advance, leaving herself an escape route. I don't dare to fight with anyone under that thing's eyes."

"So the 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?"

Peter patted Lu Chen on the shoulder, "Let's talk as we walk, at least go to Beihai Province for a midnight snack first."

The two of them 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?"

"Is not 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 buried 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 anything 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 the boy 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 Er started his pirate career again."

"It's said that he was a pirate. In fact, he was small and weak at that time. He couldn't fight and kill at all. 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 current, 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 with 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 and got on the boat. He 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 a few times to himself, "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 said with admiration.

"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 I agree, he 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 beautiful ideas. During this period, he also helped people with some things. He also collected money. The boy When I asked the monk at the beginning, didn’t he say that when monks practice cultivation, they don’t love worldly things?”

"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 whether 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 academy.”

"In the end, 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 seminary and starting his own business within Morning Embrace 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 obedient manner. You have to pay.

"But year after year, the boy grew into a boy, and 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. He had changed a lot 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, why did he 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 repaired, and there were obviously real people buried in it, because he was still a transcendent person at that time, and he could feel the feeling of blood connection. It turned out that the monk Over the years, we have gone to salvage 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 bucket of cheap beer, and poured a glass of beer while he was 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 in the Eternal Night Church has only heard 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, "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 capital lightly?"

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

He refilled the wine, "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 strict. When he was young, he chanted sutras, but when he is old, he is very strict."

"Ji Wu Jiu 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. ”

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 round.

"I am not saying this to win sympathy, nor am I trying to say how good Ji Wu Jiu 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 anticipate 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 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 windbreaker sitting outside would be big shots who 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 attack under my nose, it is still very easy to kill a mortal. It is better to keep it secret The place."

Peter drank a glass of beer and said, "Think about it, is the eye-catching saint safer, or the students in uninhabited areas in the countryside? Besides, the church is not clean inside, and the news that the saint is the guardian is more likely to be exposed. , in this case, if the Eternal Night Church learns about two objects at the same time, which one will you suspect?"

Lu Chen pondered for a moment, "I would think that Clement is a substitute bait. The real thing receives top-level protection in the Holy City, but in the guardian inheritance place in the countryside, there is only one special guardian. It is too easy to win. People in Yongye will think it is fishing bait and dare not take it."

Peter nodded, "Normally, this is the case, because the things used to test the guardians are only available in the temple, and the Eternal Night Church has no means of distinguishing them."

Lu Chen frowned, "You mean, there is a traitor within the church who revealed the true news?"

Seeing Peter shaking his head again, Lu Chen was a little confused. What was going on?

"No, because even Ji Wujiu doesn't know about Clemson being the real guardian. There are only two people who know about it, one is me and the other is Master Yideng, and now there's another one you."

Peter explained.

"It doesn't matter that I know such an important thing. Are you not afraid that I am from Yongye and will pass the news back?"

Lu Chen smiled.

"If the Eternal Night Church is willing to make a show of the Archbishop of Sin, then I will admit it. Besides, Mona should have guessed it. Everyone has been taken away, so these truths will become unimportant."

Peter sighed, "It's just a pity for those children. They are all elites. Many of them would have been the next generation's special ones."

He really didn't expect that the Yongye Church would be so accurate and so quick.

Although no one can be sure of Clement's true identity, the place where the "substitute" is hidden to protect the inheritance has definitely been revealed by the church's top brass.

Peter picked up the wine glass and covered his dangerous eyes. After returning, there will be a big purge.
