C124 The Arch-cardinal

Later on, Smith asked Ronton if he had seen the goddess's face when he was blessed by her.

Ronton's answer was a little confusing, because he only remembered that when he received the so-called goddess's blessing, he was actually enveloped in a white light, and then slept soundly. Of course, he also had a dream on the way to sleep. The so-called meeting with the goddess was probably in a dream.

Lee Xiang had asked Shaun about it after the incident, but Shaun's expression was even more complicated. The answer was even more ambiguous. Even someone as smart as Lee Xiang did not know what to say. However, he always thought that this so-called blessing from the goddess was probably just a favor from the Church. After all, their Church still had a lot of experts. Especially a Divine Master, it was actually very easy to deceive them.

Of course, among those who had received the blessings of the Goddess, there were some who understood the mystery. However, due to the authority of the Church and their respect for the Goddess, even so, they pretended to be deaf and mute. After all, there were very few people who could receive the blessings of the Goddess herself in the entire continent. This was a kind of glory.

At that time, Lee Xiang only felt dizzy. When he opened his eyes nervously, he found that he was standing in another room. He then found Lyman standing in front of him. He had a smile on his face like a divine staff.

Lee Xiang calmed down a little and looked at Lyman with a smile. "Don't tell me archbishop Lyman wants to tell me that he can see the glory of the goddess in this room?"

Lyman shrugged. "Why don't we find a place to sit first? I think we should have a lot of topics that we can talk about together. . . "

Lee Xiang smiled secretly. As he expected, Arthur had told Arthur about his attitude just now. That was why he decided to use the excuse of being blessed by a goddess to talk to him alone.

"Is that so?" Lee Xiang asked faintly, but he still found a chair and sat down under Lyman's instruction. "Archbishop, why don't you tell me your purpose of finding me alone today?"

"I wonder if master is satisfied with the surprise just now?" After Lyman sat down, he did not answer his question, but directly asked Lee Xiang.

Lee Xiang knew that he was referring to the so-called blessing of a goddess. At the moment, he did not pretend, nodded and said with a smile, "Bishop Lyman's good intentions. I appreciate it, but I have to say it. Your sudden announcement has put me in a very passive position! Also, you know that I am not yet a pure believer of the Goddess. . . "

" That is not a problem! " Lyman waved his hand slightly. "Yes. It is not up to you to decide if you are not a believer of the Goddess. I believe that Duke will not stop me on the issue of the Goddess of Faith unless he himself does not believe in the goddess. "

Lee Xiang secretly smiled. Ronton would not openly stop him from believing in the goddess. He was sure about that, but he just wanted to stop him from going to the church.

"You should know that my grandfather probably did not like me being too close to others for some reason. . . " Lee Xiang smiled faintly and hinted. It showed his caution and worry.

"It's because Duke doesn't like you being close to someone, so you should believe in the goddess more, my lord!" Lyman smiled faintly.

Lee Xiang thought about what Lyman meant in his heart. He was thinking whether he should be honest with Lyman today or give him some advice. He could foresee that Arthur must have told Lyman about his attitude when he was at the door. Otherwise, he would not be in such a hurry to talk to him alone. Another reason he was worried was that Holy Maiden was here. He wanted to use this opportunity to complete the mission quickly.

After thinking for a while, Lee Xiang immediately came up with an answer. He smiled and said, "I was a little confused when I heard what Cardinal Lyman said. Since my grandfather doesn't like me being too close to others, Do you think I need to give up a duke who has given everything to me and believe in a church that I don't even know about? "

Lee Xiang deliberately did not mention the goddess, but instead replaced it with the church. His intention was to remind Lyman that he believed in the goddess, but he might not believe in the church.

"No, no, no. . . Sir, you are wrong. Don't forget that the church is the only spokesperson of the goddess on this continent. I believe that the Church actually believes in the Goddess! " Lyman corrected Lee Xiang's words. "Similarly, you need to understand one thing, Lee Xiang said. If Duke can give it to you, the goddess can also give it to you. What the Goddess can give you, your Duke Grandpa might not be able to give you! And I need to remind you one thing. Your Duke Grandpa might not be sincerely wanting to give you anything, it's just that he had no choice but to give you something. Even if Duke really wants to give it to you, others might not agree to it! "

The person Lyman was talking about was Smith. Lee Xiang knew this very well in his heart.

"The archbishop wants me to be your believer?" Lee Xiang asked even though he knew the answer.

"You can also think of it that way. Of course, I actually hope that you can become a member of our southern diocese!"

Become a member of the Church?! Lyman's words somewhat surprised Lee Xiang. He originally thought that it would be so simple for him to become their believer, but he did not expect him to make such a bold request. After thinking for a while, he immediately realized the problem in Lyman's words. Lyman only invited him to become a member of the southern diocese, not the entire church.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse!" Lyman looked at Lee Xiang, who was about to speak, and continued. "Refusing it is the same as rejecting an opportunity. I heard from Arthur that. . . Master, it seems like you need us to express our gratitude, and I have already given you a huge gift just now. Although there are many people on this continent who are blessed by the Goddess herself, there aren't many who are still alive until now! "

"The problem is. . . " Lee Xiang touched his nose. "Forgive me for being blunt, archbishop, but the problem is that I am not very interested in the so-called Goddess Blessing. Furthermore, to be honest, there is still a deep doubt as to whether the Goddess can truly appear. You also know, archbishop, I am not a fanatical believer of the Goddess, so for me, It is not a pleasant surprise, but rather trouble. Do you understand what I mean? "

What Lee Xiang meant was that they had to make a substantial move, and there was not much meaning in doing so.

Lyman laughed. "Interesting, interesting. In all these years, this is the first person who dared to raise an objection to the Goddess's blessing, especially in front of an Arch-Cardinal like me. Do you know what the consequences of saying such words will be? "

Lee Xiang shrugged and said very nonchalantly, "I don't know what the consequences are. I only know that I can bring up such a thing. It just proves my honesty. In fact, I believe that many people who receive the personal blessings of the Goddess will have such thoughts. It's just that they aren't willing to say it out loud! Don't you think so? So if the Archbishop sincerely wishes to chat with me, it would be best if he can show some sincerity. . . "

Lyman did not speak. Instead, he gave Lee Xiang a deep look. After a long while, he said in a deep voice, "It seems that I underestimated Baron. I admit it. What you said just now was reasonable, but that wasn't all. There are many things that you will only understand after experiencing it yourself. Alright, that's enough. Since that's the case, I'll get straight to the point. . . I heard that Sir met with a small accident on the way from the capital to Bael City?"

Lee Xiang paused for a moment. He needed to think about the reason why he suddenly brought up this topic.

"You don't have to be surprised that we know about this. In fact, we have always been interested in you, so we know more than that!" Lyman smiled. "Does Baron want to know who is behind this?"

"No matter who it is, I am not very interested now. Anyway, I am still very safe at the moment!" Lee Xiang's expression did not change.

"Really?" Lyman looked at Lee Xiang in surprise. After thinking for a while, he immediately understood what Lee Xiang meant. His face immediately revealed an undisguised surprise. "But it's no wonder. Given your current situation, I'm afraid that you will have to pretend not to know even if you know about it. If it was me, I would do the same!"

"What is Bishop Lyman trying to say?" Lee Xiang's face suddenly sank, and his expression was very unhappy.

"Don't worry, what I mean is very simple. If you become a member of the southern diocese, then if someone wants to deal with you like this again in the future, he will have to consider the consequences of dealing with you. Moreover, we will arrange for the priests and holy knights of the church to be in charge of your safety. "

"I think my grandfather Duke Ronton has already considered this problem very clearly!" Lee Xiang waved his hand lightly. In his heart, he was sneering.

"But what if those people who protect you want to deal with you?" Lyman asked back. "To tell you the truth, according to what we know, the attack on you this time might have something to do with your uncle Smith, and there might be a shadow of Ronton behind it!"

"What? How is that possible?" Lee Xiang blurted out. He did not need to pretend at all. He naturally knew about Smith, but Lyman had told him that there was actually a shadow of Ronton in the middle. This made him somewhat doubtful. After all, Ronton had spent a lot of effort and effort to get him here from the Rinker family. He even brought out the ruler of the empire. How could he be like this?

Lyman smiled. Of course, he didn't know that Lee Xiang had already known that it was Smith who had ambushed him.

"Nothing is impossible. You are still young after all. There are many things that you don't know very well. Anyway, I can guarantee that this is true. So as long as you become a member of my southern diocese, I believe that you will be safe from now on! "
