C137 Bishop

The two of them could be said to have their own ulterior motives as they walked into a side courtyard behind the church.

"By the way, I am now the highest commander of these two divisions. Your Highness, can you talk about the agreement we talked about before?"

Lee Xiang talked about what he had discussed with Shaun in the carriage. Shaun had a deal with him in the past. However, he would only say it after he became the highest commander. It should be time now.

Shaun smiled faintly and didn't answer directly. He looked at a magnificent courtyard in front of him and said with a smile, "Let's go in first. There's a person who is very beneficial to both you and me waiting for us inside. To be honest, I have been waiting for today for a long time!"

Shaun seemed to be in a good mood. Obviously, the meeting later would be related to some big matters.

Lee Xiang had a solemn expression on his face. After slightly nodding his head, he and Shaun walked in side by side.

As the door opened, Lee Xiang's old friend, Arthur, stood at the door with a smile on his face. First, he bowed slightly to Shaun, then turned his head to look at Lee Xiang. He stretched out both of his hands and held Lee Xiang's arm.

"My old friend, I'm really happy to see you today!"

Lee Xiang seemed to be very helpless when it came to his familiarity with Lee Xiang. If he remembered correctly, they had just met a few days ago. There was no need to be so intimate. It was as if they had not seen each other for decades. However, he did not show it. He just nodded and teased Arthur. "If I remember correctly, he said. Bishop Arthur, you should be at the church in front of us today. After all, today is your big day! "

Lee Xiang deliberately said that God's Day was a big day for their church. The purpose was to hint to Arthur that they were not so close to each other that they were tied together. It was just a mutual use.

"No matter how big the festive day is, if there is no support from the prince and Baron, it will be an empty talk!" Arthur smiled. He didn't care about Lee Xiang's hint at all. After making an inviting gesture, the three of them walked into the side courtyard side by side.

"Oh right, I haven't congratulated you for your promotion yet! But I heard that you seemed to have encountered some small trouble yesterday. Fortunately, you handled it well, my lord! Haha. . . "

Arthur seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He turned his head to look at Lee Xiang and said with a smile.

Of course, Li Yao knew what Arthur was referring to. He smiled and said, "Bishop Arthur is very well-informed. What happened yesterday just happened, and you already know it today. I almost suspect that you were there yesterday. . . "

Lee Xiang was implying something, but Shaun, who was beside him, did not know why. He smiled and said, "Lee Xiang, you might not know. If it was something the Church wanted to know, even if you wanted to bury it three thousand feet underground, you would not be able to hide it. "

Lee Xiang laughed and nodded. He smiled in a double way. "If that's the case, then it's really time for me to think about it!"

Shaun and Arthur were stunned at the same time. They really wanted to ask him what to think about when their destination arrived.

Just as Arthur was about to knock on the door, a low voice came from inside.

"Invite the prince and Baron in!"

Arthur bowed slightly and opened the door. He stretched out his hand and made a welcoming gesture, but he didn't show any intention of coming in.

Such a big posture, Lee Xiang sighed to himself. It didn't matter to him, but no matter what, Shaun was still a prince. Apart from the Pope, who else in the Church could be so arrogant? He peeked at Shaun. He did not show any expression, but there was a little excitement in his eyes. Of course, this excitement was concealed very well and disappeared in a flash.

As he was curious, the door was pushed open before he had time to think about the problem. Then, both of them saw an old man in his sixties wearing a long robe and black clothes, dressed as a clergy of the Church, sitting at the head of the table.

A Arch-Cardinal was standing respectfully at the bottom of the table.

When Lee Xiang's gaze fell on the Arch-Cardinal's face, he could not help but feel shocked. This person was surprisingly the Archbishop of the entire southern diocese, Lyman.

The reason Lee Xiang was shocked was because with Lyman's status, he could be considered a feudal lord within the Church. However, he was actually so respectful to this person sitting at the top. Could this person be Pope Paul?

The old man laughed when he saw the two of them enter. He stood up from his chair and slowly walked down. When he passed by Lyman, he waved his hand and said. "Alright, today is the Grace Day of God. You can't be careless about what happened outside. All of you can leave now!"

Lyman bowed slightly. When he walked to the two of them, he nodded slightly and greeted them before walking out.

"Your Highness. . . " The old man first laid his eyes on Shaun's face. "I'm glad that you have waited for me in Bael City for so long! This alone is enough to show your sincerity. . . "

Shaun shrugged. "Since Shaun has promised Dewey the Bishop, naturally he will keep his promise. But honestly, I thought you would not come!"

Lee Xiang nodded secretly, as he expected. This Shaun indeed had an agreement with the church. He originally thought that his target was Lyman. However, he did not expect that this person would be a bishop of a higher rank than Lyman. This rank was only below the Pope's. Thinking of this, Lee Xiang could not help but carefully size up this bishop called Dewey. Fortunately, he had heard Ao Guang introduce some of the basic structures of the Church, so he still had some understanding about this.

Dewey smiled and said, "I saw that the prince was blaming Dewey for being late. There was some inside information. I will give you a satisfactory answer later. This should be Lee Xiang, Baron, who has been in the limelight recently, right? " Dewey's last sentence was said to Lee Xiang. Clearly, he felt that Lee Xiang was sizing him up.

Lee Xiang nodded slightly. The meaning of Shaun's blame was obvious. He could also hear it. He remembered that Arthur had told him that there would be some heavyweight people coming to the church on the day of prayer. It seemed that besides Holy Maiden, Dewey was also prepared to come. It seemed that he was delayed because of something.

After the three of them found a place to sit down, Dewey turned to Lee Xiang and smiled again. "Master always gives people surprises unintentionally. You may not know, because of your appearance, you have created several precedent in the empire and even the entire continent in a few months. . . "

Lee Xiang was slightly stunned. Shaun, who was beside him, smiled and nodded. "I think the Bishop of Dewey Sect is also a little tempted. . . "

Dewey smiled and turned to look at Shaun. He did not answer but asked instead, "Isn't it? In a few months, the first yellow person to be conferred the title of Baron was. . . "

Dewey was very sensitive and did not mention the Lower Race. Instead, he used a yellow person as a replacement. Clearly, he was worried that Lee Xiang would not be happy listening to him.

"After that, he became a true mage and got the guidance of the most mysterious Great Mage Reynolds. Now, he became the highest commander of the youngest two divisions in the empire!"

Lee Xiang smiled. Dewey was telling the truth. To be honest, it was impossible for any of these things to happen in the past, but now they were all focused on Lee Xiang. It had to be said that this had indeed created quite a few precedent. At the same time, Lee Xiang could faintly feel it in his heart. This Dewey probably didn't intend to see him before coming here. Perhaps it was because he had heard about what had happened at the outskirts of the farm yesterday. He had changed his mind at the last minute. It was obvious from Shaun's laughter that he had changed his mind. He even suspected that Shaun had said it on purpose. He wanted to remind himself.

"These things happened to me. It was a fluke. Of course, this has something to do with His Highness and Archbishop Lyman's secret help!"

Lee Xiang's answer was very implicit. The reason why he talked about the indirect relationship. . . It was not a direct relationship, but a reminder to Dewey. The fact that he was able to become the highest commander had something to do with the Church. However, it wasn't a big deal. Strictly speaking, they were actually still using him, this was something that everyone should be well aware of. Don't really think that you're a fool.

Dewey and Shaun weren't fools. Of course, they could hear the hidden meaning in Lee Xiang's words. The former smiled faintly. "So I can almost be sure that in the future. . . Many things will happen to you, my lord. Who can be sure that you will not one day become the overlord of a province? Who can say for sure that you will not become an important official of the empire? In short, everything is very possible in my opinion! "

Shaun laughed. " That's right, Shaun also has the same idea! "

Lee Xiang looked on coldly and sneered in his heart. Shaun did not care. In short, Dewey's opening speech was very interesting. It seemed like they were about to get to the main topic.

No matter what, he was still very interested in the topic that was about to be discussed today. Because what Dewey said was exactly what he wanted to do.

"I don't dare to think about what will happen in the future. Anyway, I will take it one step at a time. . . " Lee Xiang smiled faintly. He seemed to be very low-key.

Dewey and Shaun looked at each other. Shaun shook his head slightly and said, "I heard that you still don't believe me. Of course, I also understand your current situation, so I think we should get to the main topic today!" Shaun's face turned serious. After nodding his head, both Dewey and Shaun looked at Lee Xiang at the same time.

Lee Xiang nodded his head. He was not a person who liked to beat around the bush, especially when it came to major matters that involved his own interests. It would be best to make it simpler and clearer. The more direct it was, the more obvious a person's urgency was.
