Messiah's adjutant felt that the atmosphere in the church was a little strange. Not only the church, but the entire Noland city's atmosphere was a little strange as well.
According to his superior's order, he called for the other missionaries in Noland to start copying the new Gospel.
The so-called Gospel was an old piece of paper that recorded the teachings of the Holy Kingdom and informed the people of the appearance of demons in the city.
This time, the adjutant mainly wrote to expose that a demon was actually behind 《Beauty and the Demon》 and that there was a demon's lair hidden in the Hearthstone Tavern in Noland. He hoped that the people of Noland would always be wary of demons and not be deceived by them.
But when he wrote, the adjutant felt that his conscience was being criticized for the first time because his main content was to tell the people of Noland about the conspiracy behind 《Beauty and the Demon》.
It would be fine if it was about the Demon Prince since the adjutant could easily write hundreds of condemnations against that sinful demon. But he encountered a problem when writing about Belle's character.
First, he had to tell the people of Noland that Belle was a demon in disguise, and a heinous one at that …
But … for the glory of God, after watching 《Beauty and the Demon》, he really couldn't write anything to condemn Belle.
Belle was such a pure and kind girl, but her ending was so tragic that even the most cold-hearted executioner would shed a few tears for her.
Not to mention, he was a missionary.
But the mastermind behind 《Beauty and the Demon》 was definitely a demon, and Belle's identity was most likely a demon in disguise.
He had to announce this to the world! Only then could it serve as a warning, and it was also the best way to rope in a group of believers in Noland. He just had to make the people of Noland believe that the city was invaded by demons.
If he succeeded, his identity might very well be promoted from a small missionary to a pope. That way, he wouldn't need to do these complicated tasks every day.
"Adjutant, did the priest go out today?"
"Yes, Sir Messiah. Priest Koz had some urgent matters to attend to, so he left early today."
Before the adjutant could immerse himself in his fantasy for long, his number one boss, Messiah, suddenly appeared, forcing him to stand up and salute.
"I can represent some of the Lord Priest's matters. May I ask what Lord Messiah needs?" The adjutant asked.
"The savings I put in the church …"
At this point, Messiah's tone gradually became softer. However, she quickly found her confidence and her voice was once again filled with a noble sense of mission.
"I need to extract a portion of it!"
"This … Of course, no problem. Lord Messiah, please allow me to make a bill."
Although the adjutant said so, he still noticed that his superior had been acting strangely recently.
Messiah could be said to be the representative of honesty, order, kindness, justice … etc.
The Holy Army was not too strict with food, entertainment, and even marriage. At least after the Holy Army retired, they could find a girl they liked to marry, and after a victory, they could celebrate happily together.
However, it was rumored that this Sacred Knight named Misai was as strict as an ascetic monk when it came to self-discipline.
All of her assets were handed over to the church for safekeeping, and she would never use a single cent for herself. Her diet was also the most basic in the army. Money was like a worldly possession to her, and only the glory of the Lord was important to her.
But in the past two days, this lady knight had been looking for the priest of this church, in order to withdraw the funds she had stored in the church.
Of course, the priest directly handed it over to her, but when it came to the adjutant, he felt very strange.
Could it be … the symbol of the Holy Army's honesty … Knight Messiah was infected with something … 'incredible' in this city?
The adjutant did not dare to ask too much. Messiah's position was too much higher than his.
He made a note in the accounts of the church, took out a hundred pieces of gold from the gold coin room in the church, and gave them to his superior.
"Finish the Gospel as soon as possible."
Messiah weighed the gold coins in her hand. She kept using the excuse of 'this money is for the sake of regaining the glory of the Lord' to convince herself. She then told her adjutant to complete his mission.
"Understood, my lord."
Under the watchful eyes of the adjutant, the female knight left the church. The adjutant glanced at the Gospel that was filled with dense handwriting and felt very complicated.
The main reason was because the movie 'Beauty and the Devil' was too good. Even if the adjutant knew it was something the devil made to bewitch people, he … he just liked this movie, what else could he do?
Perhaps … this was the devil's true goal? The adjutant made a bold guess, and suddenly realized that the current situation was not something they could solve.
He spent another two hours transcribing the Gospels.
The adjutant heard the voice of his teacher, the priest in charge of the church, coming from the prayer room outside.
The adjutant immediately stood up and walked out of the study room. He quickly came to the hall and found that the remaining five Holy Army stationed here were all present. Even the clergy working in the church were all present.
This scene made the adjutant know that something bad was about to happen. It must be a bishop level figure who came to this church.
When the adjutant hurriedly walked to his group, he quickly saw a hunchbacked figure standing in the center of the church.
It was an old man with a walking stick. His skinny body looked like it would collapse from a gust of wind, and the clothes he wore were coarse linen clothes of poor quality. Regardless of his temperament or appearance, he was dressed like a refugee.
But the adjutant knew the identity of this old man. He was one of the Archbishops of the Holy Kingdom, a saint with the title 'Desireless'.
No one knew the real name of this Archbishop, and it was the adjutant's first time seeing this existence that only appeared in ancient legends.
His first impression was that he was very ordinary, so ordinary that he could easily ignore this old man.
"Don't be reserved. It's useless even if you respect me. I'm not God."
He spoke. His voice was a hundred times younger than the adjutant imagined. At the same time, the adjutant felt his gaze and looked around.
This gave the adjutant a horrified feeling because the eyes of the Desireless were wrapped in dirty old bandages. In theory, there was no such thing as sight.
But the adjutant still felt that he was being watched.
"Can you tell me why there is one less Holy Army stationed here, and where is my disciple Messiah?"
When Soulless asked this question with a tone that could put everyone to sleep, the adjutant's entire body shivered. The other sacred troops stationed in the church exchanged looks, all of them able to see the doubt in each other's eyes.
The actions of the commander of the Holy Army, the Knight of Messiah, these two days were too strange. He left early and returned late, and they almost didn't have the chance to see their commander in the church.
"Can't anyone answer?"
When the Desireless asked this question, the adjutant kept feeling that the Archbishop's gaze was on him. In the end, under this pressure, he had to stand up and speak his true thoughts.
