Alien Knights
Chapter 30 Initial Debate
Todd thought, what a joke, to offend everyone in the monastery for the false name of "third-grade assistant exorcist", and in the end, he may not even be able to get close to his residence and laboratory. How could he agree to such a blessing at this time!
"Father, I'm sorry, but I cannot accept this ordination book."
As soon as Todd said this, everyone reacted differently.
The onlookers gasped in surprise, the monks nodded approvingly, and some members of the church group questioned loudly and turned angry faces.
Father Paul didn't have any expression on his face, and put the parchment back on his chest, as if he had expected the other party to answer like this.
Todd was standing next to the gate of the monastery, under the gaze of everyone, jumped onto a big rock, watched everyone focus on him, pondered for a moment, organized his words, and began to state: "Believe in the justice of God, and bestow joy on the flock. This is my duty and duty as a servant of God. What kind of achievement is this? If you want to use this reason to give me holy protection, I will feel ashamed."
Everyone who said this was dumbfounded.
Some people who said this passage have a guilty conscience.
What the people saw was a pious believer, what the monks saw was a humble ascetic, and some of the church visitors were ashamed because of their narrow thinking.
Among the people present, there were only a few people who were not affected by these words, and Father Paul was one of them.
After experiencing the storm ten years ago, this exiled Avenger has experienced too much and seen too much. Like Todd, he clearly knows what is advancing and what is retreating on the stage built by faith.
"Fellow Todd, I admire your pilgrimage. About the church's ordination book, I still have half to say, please let me finish." Paul reopened the parchment and said to the crowd: "The kingdom of God needs evangelists as well as evil exorcisers. The third-rank assistant exorcist chartered the establishment of the "Apologetics and Exorcism Squad" to manage the church asset "Music Seaport". It is not controlled by the secular kingdom and does not pay secular taxes.
"Protector and Exorcist Squad"? "Music Harbor"?
What does it mean?
Todd, who was unclear about the situation, did not speak. This kind of silence, in the eyes of Father Paul, was a sign of a loose mind.
The priest chose this time to continue adding his own weight to one end of the balance.
"Fellow Todd, you save lives and eradicate evil. You have the ability to illuminate all beings with true light, but you choose to use humility and prayer as an excuse to ignore believers' pleas for help..." Father Paul paused, and the corners of his mouth slightly twitched: "You once said to Father Rupert yourself, 'If someone asks for help while you are praying, go with peace of mind! Dedicate this behavior to the Father as a prayer.' Now, why do you deny yourself?"
Todd squinted his eyes, and his instinct to deal with danger cheered him up.
The Father Paul in front of him is logical and thoughtful, and he is not comparable to the taciturn monks in the monastery.
A tough guy.
Todd secretly defined this in his heart for the priest in front of him.
What he didn't expect was that the opponent's real ultimate move was still to come.
From the periphery of the crowd, a person squeezed in, knelt down on his knees, and crawled up to Todd. Excited and trembling, he kissed the tip of the monk's shoe with his lips.
"My savior, my mouth will praise you, and my heart will rejoice!"
Todd lowered his head and looked at the person at his feet: "Are you...?"
The other party raised his head, and the familiar face made the boy gasp.
He turned out to be the craftsman he saved from the exorcism.
"Let's take a look, this lucky man, this soul who survived the exorcism!" Father Paul opened his arms, facing the crowd, and said loudly, "Without Brother Todd, his body would be speechless and unable to walk. It's just a carrion lying in a coffin waiting to be eaten by moths."
"you!"
Paul pointed to a middle-aged farmer.
"you!"
He pointed to a young village girl again.
"Or you!"
This time it refers to an old man who is dying.
"Which of you can guarantee that you won't become the next him?! Who of you can guarantee that you won't be the next one the devil is looking for?!" Paul stretched out his palm to Todd, "However, your savior chose to sit inside the high wall, ignore your cries for help, copy the scriptures, and be alone. You...can you agree?"
The crowd was furious and their voices shook the sky.
"cannot!"
Todd's face was ugly and his head was swollen.
Promise you uncle!
This will incite the flames, why don't you be a priest, go be a bard!
This guy is so eloquent, did he really lose in the debate back then and was kicked out? !
Todd's heart is getting heavier and heavier. The monastery is the foundation of his life. Once he has a bad relationship with the monks, it will inevitably cause his experiment that has just been fruitful, and he must start a new stove. This is definitely not the result he wants to see.
But having said that, looking back at what Father Paul said just now, he not only mobilized the emotions of the crowd, but also forced himself to make a decision on the spot, and in the end he also faintly belittled the monks in the monastery.
What a talent this guy is.
Todd, who was unable to get off the tiger, looked at the commotion of the people in front of him, and unconsciously turned his gaze to the monks behind him.
At this time, as long as a highly respected monk stood up and said a few words of justice for him, he would have a way to use Poe to step down and decline Paul's proposal.
But to his disappointment, all the monks remained silent, and some even took a few steps back, as if wanting to draw a line with Todd.
At this point in the matter, Todd finally recognized a reality.
He enters here, stays here, the only reliance is Master Myris. However, the disappearance of the latter has severed Todd's only connection with the monastery. As for the monks, he was never really considered a member of San Sidro.
The ashen-faced Todd thought for a while, and said in a deep voice, "Father Paul, I accept the church's ordination letter..."
While the crowd cheered, Todd put forward another condition of his own: "But the apologist exorcism team must be set up outside the monastery, and it must not affect the daily life of the monks."
Paul's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded after a moment: "No problem."
Taking the ordination book from the priest, Todd looked at the gloomy man in front of him, and sighed in his heart, an associate professor who lived on his words and brains in the university in his previous life, unexpectedly was set up by a priest and introduced a trap.
Although he still doesn't know the future.
But in the first game where the two sides met, he knew that he had already lost.
Todd had a premonition that Paul was probably the one person he had to defeat in a different world, a hurdle he had to overcome...
