"Greetings, Elder." Dudian nodded in greeting.
The old man quietly looked at him, his eyes revealing a sense of judgment. After a moment, he smiled and said, "I heard that you injured a Saint of our Mystic Sect. Your strength isn't bad, is it?"
Dudian knew that he would be pursued: "It was a misunderstanding. I thought that the saint was an assassin from the dark church so I tried my best to resist. I didn't expect to injure him. I didn't think that he was a saint of the Monastery. I hope you can forgive me."
"A 'forgive me' isn't enough to show sincerity." The old man whispered.
Dudian wrinkled his brows.
"Elder, please instruct me." He bowed.
The old man smiled: "Mr Dean should have seen the situation outside when you came here, right?"
Dudian replied: "Yes."
The old man looked at Dean's expression. He saw that Dean only spat out two words and didn't say anything else. He couldn't help but smile: "Mr Dean's bones are very hard. I don't know if he can maintain such a backbone after experiencing our 'life' here."
Dudian's face sank.
"Lord Elder, torture can only make me confess. I am not guilty. If you have evidence, I will not say anything. If you do not have evidence, but you insist on framing me or listening to others' slander, even if I beg you, will you believe me?"
Francis turned around and scolded, "Watch your words! Watch your words!"
The old man waved his hand and chuckled: "You're still young, but you're quite knowledgeable. Since you're a smart person, I hope you'll do something smart people do. To be honest, we called you here to invite you to join our monastery."
Dudian was startled.
"Join the Monastery?"
The old man smiled: "Yes. The Holy Church in the outer wall was established by the 'missionaries' of our Monastery. The nominal Pope of the Holy Church is a great preacher of our Monastery. You are an outstanding architect cultivated by the Holy Church. We have reviewed your resume and you are qualified to join our Monastery. Are you willing?"
Dudian was confused.
All of this was a complete reversal. It was completely unexpected.
"Lord, Lord Elder." Dudian was startled: "Didn't you say that I colluded with the devil? Why do you want me to join the Monastery?"
The old man smiled: "I know. Normally we would send an invitation letter to the Holy Church and the Temple so that all the forces in the outer wall know about it. But your situation is a bit special so we can only use this special method."
"Special?"
"Yes." The old man slowly said: "You just mentioned the Dark Church. Do you know the origin of the Dark Church?"
Dudian didn't expect the old man to suddenly go around to this topic. He hesitated: "I don't know. What does elder mean?"
"The dark church didn't exist at that time more than two hundred years ago." The old man slowly said: "The first preacher of our Monastery was a legendary figure. He was appointed to the outer wall to preach to the ignorant people. He established the Holy Church. Since then the people had faith. But the good times didn't last long. The preacher's ability was weak. The Holy Church gained the people's faith but at the same time it gained the right to dominate the people. There were people in the Holy Church who coveted this right and wanted to seize it. "
"So there was internal strife in the Holy Church. It split into several factions. After a period of fighting, it finally turned into two forces. Today's Holy Church and the dark church."
Dudian was startled.
Although he felt that the water of the dark church was deep, but he didn't think that the dark church was split from the Holy Church. No wonder the name was so different.
The old man continued: "The elders and preachers of the Monastery were furious when they got the news. So they sent the saints to the outer wall to help the Holy Church to destroy the dark church! However, this matter was later learned by Aristotle II. He ordered to preserve the Dark Church and transform it into a branch of the Holy Church of Light! "
Dudian was shocked: "The dark church is a branch of the Holy Church?"
"Yes." The old man nodded: "It is still the same. You should know that there must be darkness in the world if there is light. People won't know how to cherish the light if there is no darkness."
Dudian was speechless.
The old man looked at him: "If you join the Monastery then you will become one of the deacons of the dark parliament. Your first appointment will be to go to the outer wall as an elder of the dark church. You will maintain the order of the dark church. At the same time you will cooperate with the pope to eradicate some uncontrolled extremists."
Dudian felt like he was in a dream. It was too dramatic.
He had come to the inner wall with the intention of cutting off all means of retreat. But he didn't expect that there would be light at the end of the tunnel. Although according to the elder's words it could only be regarded as' light at the end of the tunnel '.
In this short moment of absent-mindedness, many mysteries hidden in the bottom of his heart were suddenly explained. No wonder, when he sneaked into the small town of the Dark Church where Nightingale was, the small town was full of people of the Dark Church, but the Light Church didn't come to encircle him.
The forces of the Holy Church were spread in all directions. The whole town was a branch of the dark church. It was impossible that no one would go and inform on them. He had heard from Nightingale that there were nobles in the town. But now it was obvious that the real big shot behind the town was the Holy Church!
It was no wonder that the dark church didn't exist in the five major forces of the inner wall.
Even the ordinary people in the outer wall knew about the horror of the dark church. After all, the dark church was able to survive for many years under the siege of the Holy Church. Especially the alchemists and potion masters of the dark church. But Gwyneth was a disciplinary elder so it was impossible for her to not know about the dark church's influence in the inner wall.
"If you want me to join, you just need to tell me. Why do you have to arrest me in the name of colluding with the devil? If I desperately resist, isn't it..." Dean looked at him bitterly.
The old man faintly smiled: "You won't have room to resist in front of us."
Dudian's mouth slightly twitched but he was silent. At the same time he was secretly relieved. It seemed that his life wasn't in danger. Although he was shocked by the inside of the Monastery but at least he got a chance to develop. Sooner or later he would be able to dominate his own life!
