Alien Knights

Bishop Fabian stood up abruptly, looked at the deacon, and asked anxiously, "Where are you?"

"We have arrived at the main entrance of the cathedral, and the guard of honor is laying down the red carpet!"

"I'll go there right away! Wait...wait a minute" the bishop hastily opened the top drawer of the table, and found a wooden comb. He first dipped his hands in the saliva, wiped the sparse hair near the "Mediterranean" on the top of his head, then stroked the comb carefully a few times, and then followed the deacon quickly to the door.

Queen Mary has been the focus of the Silver Ring Kingdom since she married into the royal family at the age of sixteen. Speaking of reasons, there are countless reasons. She loves jewelry and jewellery, opera and dance, parties and excitement, but the most talked about is her amazing beauty.

On the first day of her marriage from the enemy country, Yinhuan City was empty of people; when she stepped off the carriage, the moon and stars were eclipsed.

When she and her husband, Guy VI, stood on the terrace of the castle, they waved to the citizens coming from all directions. The king, who was ten years older than him, told a good story that is still circulating in the whole continent.

"Behold, my queen. Half my people love you!"

"Oh, what about the other half?"

"The other half sleeps in the ground forever, sleeping and not waking up."

Today, three years have passed.

The beauty of Queen Mary has not faded because of time, but has gradually matured from the original greenness. Like a beautiful red, plump and attractive fruit, hanging on the branch, no matter where it goes, it is the focus of everyone's eyes.

Bishop Fabian looked at the red carpet at his feet, turned his body sideways and lowered his head, but kept his eyes on the extremely luxurious carriage in the center of the square.

Under the attendant of the court lady, the car door was gently opened, first there was a skirt inlaid with silver tassels and crystal pendants, and then there were slender white hands with a touch of pink. When the queen got off the carriage and stood on the red carpet, the men around her opened their eyes, and the women covered their faces with folding fans.

The bishop held down his hair with one hand, smoothed his robe with the other, trotted all the way to the carriage, and bent down towards the queen, not daring to look at her face, but wanted to kiss her hand.

The female officer standing by the side coughed heavily upon seeing this, causing the clergyman to step back in embarrassment.

"Let's go."

Hearing this beautiful and pleasant voice, the bishop's heart trembled, and he quickly lowered his body to lead the way.

When everyone came to the audience hall of the cathedral, the maids spread a velvet blanket on the seat of honor, took out fruits and snacks from a copper box filled with ice, and placed sterling silver forks in random order on the plate.

The ladies measured the length with their footsteps and adjusted the distance between the others and the queen's seat.

This behavior stems from an unwritten rule in the Silver Ring Kingdom that "no man shall move within three meters of the queen". The person who made this ridiculous rule was naturally King Guy VI.

When Queen Mary took her seat, she didn't seem to intend to exchange too many greetings and courtesies, but chose to go straight to the point: "My lord bishop, I'm here for the crystal relic."

The bishop frowned and remained silent.

"I hope to get some crystal relics to decorate for my nineteenth birthday party."

Fabian hesitated: "Your Majesty, those crystal relics are important items of the church, each of which has great research value, and should be sent to the College of Cardinals and the Pope first..."

Mary interrupted the other party's speech in displeasure: "They can wait, but my birthday is next month, so I can't wait that long."

After hearing this, the bishop raised his head in surprise and annoyance. What do they mean they can wait? That's the pope and the cardinals. But the stunning appearance and intoxicating temperament of the queen in front of him made the depression in the old man's chest disappear in a blink of an eye.

The queen seemed to have no intention of caring about other people's feelings, and continued: "I forgot to say, the crystal relic must be a premium product, and the style must be biased towards..."

Bishop Fabian, who had been waiting to deal with affairs in the church for a long time and didn't know much about the outside world, heard an unheard word and asked the people around him: "What is a super product?"

The subordinates quickly explained to him.

Secular aristocratic connoisseurs divide the outflowing crystal treasures into grades and grades according to transparency, impurities, shape, workmanship, etc., and the special grade is the best category. It is said that only Justice Dinoval and the king have such works.

The bishop shook his head while listening: "This is simply nonsense."

Just when he was about to directly reject the other party, the old man suddenly remembered that there had been many unhappiness between the previous bishop and the Silver Ring Kingdom. In my own term, thanks to the mediation of the queen, the royal power and the church are not as incompatible as they were in the past.

While still thinking about how to reply, the other party's words made him speechless again.

"Don't you have an exorcist named Todd? I heard that he is the Holy Son blessed by the Holy Father. Why don't you go find him again?"

Fabian was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked other people how the news spread to the secular world.

What makes him palpitate is that among the royal family, nobles and folks, Todd's story has long been circulated as a semi-myth.

Rumor has it that he followed the will of the heavenly father, expelling demons, defeating alien races, and welcoming back holy objects. He is the grace of the true light and the guide of believers.

"If this kind of speech continues to develop, it will be a threat to myself and the church, and it should be contained in time!" 』

With this thought in mind, Bishop Fabian finally decided on the next thing. He turned to Queen Mary and said, "Your Majesty, there will be a heresy trial next week. Are you interested in visiting?"

——————————————

Todd, who knew nothing about what happened in the royal city, was still waiting for the bishop's reply to the three conditions.

In his view, the first and second conditions are not a problem, the key lies in the third.

It is almost impossible to find the Knights as guards in such a remote place as the West Coast. Therefore, when the other party refused or negotiated this condition, he planned to propose an alternative plan-to allow Muxi Harbor to build its own Knights.

This proposal sounds a bit whimsical. After all, the establishment of the Knights of the Church requires the consent of the Cardinals and the Pope before the Holy Letter can be issued. But Todd is confident in the appeal of the glass relic, and once the Cardinals and the Pope discover the religious value of the relic, they will definitely agree to their request.

But man is not as good as heaven. He never expected that his plan would be ruined by a robbery that seemed to be a farce.

On this day, after observing the bacteria in his body and finding that his body was functioning normally, Todd injected himself with Huggins' "debilitating" bacteria, intending to further test the carrying capacity of the Sutherland archaea.

On the way back to the dormitory after leaving the laboratory with four kinds of bacteria, he was suddenly stopped by a group of church soldiers in black robes with a red cross embroidered on their chests.

The leading team leader asked, "Excuse me, are you Brother Todd?"

After getting a positive reply, the other party said: "We would like to ask you to assist in the investigation, the carriage is right outside the door."

Todd looked at the rear of the team under the setting sun at dusk, and Father Paul's cold face came into his sight.
