Chapter 1078 The Cursed Dragon and His Human Knight (66)

The Cursed Dragon and His Human Knight (Sixty-Six)

"Bishop Arnold, this is the list submitted by the believers this month. Please take a look."

There were blurry figures in the milky white pool, and a knight was kneeling on one knee respectfully outside the pool.

"Why come now, whenever?"

Arnold's face was full of impatience, but he still pushed the young man and woman in his arms away. The milky white pool water spread along his body, leaving one wet footprint after another on the ground.

"Bring it here and let me see it."

The knight lowered his head and handed the list to him. Arnold wrapped himself in a robe and sat down to unfold the parchment. There were hidden dark patterns on the robe, which were obviously the effects of a magic circle engraved with mithril.

Arnold frowned when the parchment was unfolded, and became furious when he finished reading it.

"What's going on? Why are the assets they handed in so much less this month?!"

He narrowed his eyes, "Someone secretly touched my things?"

The knight quickly knelt down and said, "Your Excellency, no one would dare to touch anything in our temple. I have checked, and this is indeed all the income for this month."

Arnold's face was grim. "Impossible! This number isn't even half of last month's. How could it be all?"

The knight was puzzled. "But last month, plague magic suddenly appeared, and some people fled into the city, causing many believers to be infected with plague magic. Ever since Lord Harris tightened his control over the fugitives, few people in the city have fallen ill from plague magic, and of course, fewer fanatics have come to seek the favor of the God of Light."

The knight thought this was normal, although he didn't quite understand why the temple had been so strict on controlling 'holy water' recently, while the bishops were wasting it in the holy water pool every day.

However, all the bishops and archbishops were selected as spokesmen by God, and the control of the "holy water" was the will of the new Pope conveyed by God. As a Knight of Light, he would naturally not resist the will of God.

Moreover, those who were infected by the plague magic were infected because their faith in the God of Light was not firm enough. The temple asked them to donate all their property in order to let them become fanatics of the God of Light. Only when they become fanatics will the God notice them and bestow blessings on them. This is normal.

As for the fact that there are so many fewer fanatics this month, that is normal.

Arnold saw at a glance what his knight was thinking and became even more impatient.

But in the beginning, he did it because this knight had a simple mind, firm faith and strong strength. If he really had a good brain, it would not be so convenient for him to use it.

Thinking of this, Arnold suddenly asked, "You said you checked it?"

The Knight of Light didn't understand what was going on, but he still bowed his head respectfully.

"Yes, Bishop Arnold, I checked, and there is indeed nothing unusual."

Arnold ran his fingers across the parchment and sneered quickly.

"wrong."

The Knight of Light was bewildered, "What's wrong?"

Arnold picked up the parchment and stood up. The long parchment was almost the same height as he stood up.

He walked up to the Knight of Light and casually threw down the parchment. "Look for yourself. I remember last month there was a tailor named Darcy. His wife was called Mary, right? Didn't they come here to ask for 'holy water'?"

"Darcy, Mary?"

The Knight of Light looked confused, but after searching his memory, he gradually formed an impression.

"Are you talking about the tailor who used to work not far from the temple entrance? I remember that. Yes, that Mr. Darcy and Lady Mary were both very hardworking and offered very cheap prices. They were both very nice people."

At that time, he had secretly prayed to the God of Light, hoping that God's favor would shine on such a good person first.

Arnold snorted. What a bunch of stupid guys. They have such good skills but only earn such a small amount of money. What a bunch of rubbish.

"Why don't their names appear here? Does that woman seem dead?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a flash of disapproval in the knight's eyes. Arnold immediately cursed the knight as a fool in his heart, but soon a loving expression appeared on his face again.

"What I mean is that if they don't have time to wait for God's favor, they should still come to the temple and pray to be able to return to the Kingdom of God."

The Knight of Light's disapproval immediately turned to emotion. He knelt firmly on the ground and said, "I thank the Bishop for his kindness on their behalf. I will immediately investigate and remind them."

Arnold said "hmm", and before the Knight of Light left, he thought of something and reminded him again.

"But you must act carefully. It's best not to expose yourself to them directly. First, observe them secretly to see if they are still devout to the God of Light."

He continued to be compassionate.

"God is everywhere, but God's favor only shines on believers. If they disrespect God, then what awaits them is God's punishment."

"I understand, Your Excellency."

After the knight left, Arnold immediately called his followers over.

This time he no longer pretended to be compassionate, and showed his most genuine expression in front of his followers.

"What has Harris done recently? Was the person sent from World of Warcraft Town stopped? Have the people I asked him for been delivered?"

The attendant immediately lowered his head and said, "Your Excellency, no."

"Lord Harris has recently increased patrols in the city. The patrol routes of the city guards are now overlapping, leaving almost no room for people to find loopholes. The newcomers outside the city were all stopped outside, and our people were also stopped."

"Damn it! It was Harris who did it."

Arnold was furious. He knew something was wrong. He didn't expect it was that guy Harris again. What exactly did Harris want to do?

Does Harris really want to go against their temple?

He thought about it and suddenly became suspicious.

Harris kept finding excuses not to hand the person over. He originally thought that it was just Harris's concern for face as a nobleman, but now he thinks something seems to be wrong.

And that guard, as a city guard, dared to say such words in their Temple of Light. How could he dare to do this if he didn't have someone supporting him behind the scenes?

Could the person behind this be Harris?

The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he felt, and he gave the order.

"Take your men and personally go to Harris' place. This time, you must make him hand over the person. You must see him alive or dead. Say that this is God's will. If anyone disobeys God's will, they are going against God and our entire Temple of Light. Don't blame us for being rude then."

Personal attendant: "Understood, Your Excellency. I will arrange it immediately."
