Alien Knights

"Do you know that you have committed..."

Before Paul finished speaking, Todd jumped out of the carriage, rushed to the priest, and hugged him tightly.

This move exceeded everyone's expectations!

Some even rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the church group, Todd looked excited and stretched his trembling hands to the sky: "Praise Heavenly Father! I want to cheer to the Lord!"

Turning around, he came to the gate of the church in the camp. Regardless of the mud beneath him, Todd knelt down toward the cross on the top of the building: "Father, the people you shepherd have gone through hardships and hardships, overcome the evils of the world, and fought for the crown of glory in heaven, and finally returned to you!"

"Todd!"

Paul loudly reprimanded the kneelers for their behavior, and his words were bitter and mean: "Put away your hypocrisy, you provoked a war without authorization! The believers in the church have suffered unnecessary losses!"

Todd stood up, turned his head, his face was full of surprise: "Selfish desires? A senseless loss?! Father Paul, do you know what you are talking about?"

The priest rolled up his sleeves, raised his chin, and expressed the pleasure of revenge on his gloomy face: "You deceived the brothers of the church, and let these heavenly father's children die meaninglessly for your greed..."

"Shut up!" Todd's roar shocked everyone present. His face was flushed, his lips trembled, and his voice became distorted: "Father Paul, you can insult my personality, but how can you wantonly tarnish the honor of the dead. Loyal fighters faced multiple enemies, did not flinch, and fought desperately! They used their lives to abide by the sacred oath and maintain the pious belief!"

Hearing what the other party said, Paul also became angry: "It's nonsense! You bewitched those people to die! The enemy was only 16 pirates, but you killed 27 people! Incompetent! Shame!"

Hearing this, the head of the believer group threw the wine glass in his hand into the soil angrily, and led his men out of the square of the camp. Several knights looked at each other angrily. Someone wanted to draw out the long sword at his waist, but fortunately he was stopped in time by his subordinates.

Seeing the reactions of the people around him, Todd quickly changed the subject: "Father, you don't understand the meaning of this battle."

Paul laughed angrily: "Oh? Tell me, what is the significance of this battle?!"

"It's a holy war."

"joke!"

Ignoring the cynicism behind him, Todd walked towards the carriage and called the guard to come over and help him.

Gently placing the wooden crate on the soil, Todd waved to everyone in the square, gesturing for everyone to gather.

When the first wooden box was pried open, it was as if a string was broken in the minds of everyone present, and they suddenly lost the ability to think.

Not as kitsch as gold coins, nor as rough as pearls.

In the wooden box, the beauty of these glasses is not inherent, it is the combination of flame and earth, this beauty is refreshing from the inside out.

Todd picked up a glass and turned it toward the sun. It looks more shining and charming under the sunlight.

Someone looks from one end of the glass to the other, and the person on the opposite side is clearly visible, without any impurities or flaws.

"Priceless treasure!"

"Perfect crystal!"

Someone looked at the cup body along the light, and suddenly made a new discovery: "Look! There are words on the cup!"

When everyone heard this, they quickly moved closer, squinted their eyes, and carefully saw a line of Gu Tailuo's small characters.

"He who believes in me does not believe in me, but believes in him who sent me".

A believer who is familiar with the holy text first said: "This sentence comes from the "Gospel of the Saints", which means "believe in the Son, and believe in the Father"!"

Someone said again: "The Gospel of the Saints was completed in 529 AD by the priest Edoma, and it was written in the religious script (Latin), but how could it be inscribed here in the ancient Tyro script?"

"Friend Todd, where did you find these crystals?"

Todd lowered his head, with three parts of exclamation and seven parts of memory in his tone: "On a remote island in the north."

People who had heard some rumors and rumors began to whisper, but were soon stunned by Todd's next words.

"Heavenly Father is the sublime God, the king who surpasses the gods. The earth and the abyss are in his hands, and the mountains and mountains are all his creations." The monk pointed his finger to the glass in the box: "These are no exceptions, they all belong to the heavenly father!"

Someone stammered and asked in an uncertain tone: "Friend Todd, what do you mean...?"

"I am willing to dedicate all these crystals to the church!"

Todd's face was full of reverence, and his head was bearing the sun, as if wearing a halo.

"Father above!"

"Praise be to your good deeds!"

"You are the most loyal servant I have ever seen under the rule of the Holy Spirit!"

Todd reached out his hand to stop everyone's praise, and said again: "But the property on the carriage, I hope to have the right to control two boxes."

Um?

Some people are puzzled. Didn’t you just say that you should dedicate everything to the church? Why do you suddenly have to separate the two boxes?

Some dark people even thought to themselves, after all, it is a priceless treasure, and it is human nature to want to share some of it.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Todd looked at the crowd with his eyes. The few priests who agreed to borrow troops at the beginning said: "Those who are kind and caring and firm and decisive, if they did not agree to borrow troops, jihad, treasures, and everything would naturally be impossible to talk about. They should receive the first gift."

Bowing deeply to the several knights who participated in the battle, Todd continued: "Those strategizing, loyal and brave people, if they did not have their honor to fight and kill the enemy bravely, perhaps the jihad would end in failure, and they should be rewarded."

Finally, pointing his finger at the earth, Todd said sadly: "Those who sacrificed their lives for the Father, without their death-defying battles and fighting against the heretics with their lives, we might not be able to stand here. Their sacrifices need to be comforted."

People understood what he meant.

This is to distribute part of the crystals to priests, knights, and those who died in battle.

What a good man!

What a humble person!

The priests were deeply moved, the knights mourned the past, and the friends and relatives of the war dead burst into tears.

Only one person gritted his teeth and raised an objection.

"I don't agree!" Father Paul yelled madly and crazily: "You are buying people's hearts! All crystals must be handed over to the church, and no private disposal is allowed!"

Seeing the red eyes of the people around him, he clenched his fists.

Todd smiled.

This round, a complete victory.

———————————

three days later.

Silver Ring City, Holy Branch Cathedral.

The bishop's deacon took a document and hurriedly knocked on the door of the Bishop's Interpretation Hall.

"come in."

As soon as Bishop Fabian's voice sounded, the deacon rushed in impatiently: "My lord, my lord! Viscount Pachelit wrote you a letter of condemnation about Father Paul..."

The old man rubbed his forehead and pointed to the table in front of him: "Find a place to put it down."

The deacon glanced at the table, but found that he couldn't do it.

On the huge table, there are all kinds of documents. Taking a closer look, the letters of complaint, letters of appeal, and letters of report...are all targeted at Father Paul without exception.

The bishop flipped through the letterhead in front of him, trying to find his own pen. After a while, he gave up this futile move and said to the deacon, "Immediately draft a letter of appointment and dismissal for the visiting delegation, removing Father Paul from the post of head..."
