Chapter 553 The Most Dirty
Chapter 41 To Dirty

"...Today's dome cathedral seems to be extraordinarily silent."

A purple-clothed bishop who looked quite young, probably only in his 20s, frowned, muttered in a very soft voice, and carefully pushed open the door of the cathedral.

The light pouring in from the main entrance mixed with the colored light projected from the top of the glass, making the interior of the domed cathedral extraordinarily bright.

Open the door, the long corridor is still empty.

Normally, those knights should have stood upright in the shield-shaped pits sunken in the walls on both sides of the corridor.From the looks of it, it looks like a particularly three-dimensional relief.

There will also be some bishops who are usually unwilling to enter the chapel to pray, leaning on the wall and praying softly, or discussing doctrines with each other, or sitting at the feet of a certain knight, holding a scroll and reading slowly.

In his capacity, it is definitely impossible to enter here at will.He is just an ordinary bishop, neither in charge of one party's affairs, nor his own diocese, nor a clerk, nor an apologist.

The reason why he was able to enter here was only because he, Charles, was just a student of Guderian.

Although he is stupid, stupid, and ignorant of the world, his only advantage is that he respects his teachers and is devout enough.According to Guderian's evaluation, his ability to be a priest is more than enough, but if he is a bishop, his ability obviously cannot keep up.

However, his luck is that he completely trusts his teacher Guderian.When Guderian converted to Roland, he was the first student who expressed his willingness to follow Guderian.

At that time, Saint Laurent had not performed miracles, and news of Tire's fall had not even spread.He still remembers that many people expressed considerable dissatisfaction with Guderian's fickleness and hypocrisy at that time, and left him.

In the beginning, they just gathered together, trying to use collective opinion as a threat to coerce Guderian to change his decision.After that, some devout believers of Tire began to leave Guderian intermittently, until only a few people remained in the classroom of hundreds of people.

Several months have passed since those days, and Charles has basically forgotten what happened at that time.The only thing he remembered was the look in the eyes of the teacher he respected when those once well-behaved and intelligent students abandoned Guderian in batches.

——It was an extremely calm look. There was no trace of madness in his eyes, only a little pity.

Charles could see from the clear eyes that Guderian was definitely not a cultist, nor was he insane as his senior brothers ridiculed.

The teacher was right—inexplicably, such thoughts appeared in his mind.Regardless of other people's ridicule, he just relied on the impression in his heart and chose to follow Guderian very firmly.

Since then, Charles has decided that he will follow Guderian until his death.

Charles has always been a contented person, and he has even made up his mind that he will never leave Guderian even if he loses his previous glory and wealth after believing in Roland.Even if there is only one bite of black bread mixed with sawdust and a glass of water every day, that is the peaceful and happy life he wants.

Ironically, when the seven miracles of Saint Laurent were revealed and his sanctity was undoubtedly revealed, Guderian's status as the supreme bishop did not decrease but increased.Overnight, he became the third-highest person in the entire Holy Roland Empire.

For a while, many people who left before apologized to Guderian in an extremely humble manner, asking Guderian to become their teacher again and teach them what Roland's commandments said.If Charles had a choice, he would definitely not forgive these traitors-but in the end Guderian graciously agreed to their request.

However, Charles understands that the past is the past.What is destroyed cannot be restored anyway.

Since then, Charles, who has neither talent nor intelligence, has unknowingly become Guderian's favorite student.Not only has he become a bishop at the age of 28.

Although he is the lowest-ranking purple bishop, he is already contented enough.

In the past few days, Guderian began to introduce some people he knew to Charles.At some relatively unserious gatherings, he would also take Charles with him, and began to teach him the principles of life very seriously, and gave him the status of a deputy clerk so that he could enter the Dome University Churches can always come and find themselves in their own right.

Charles would come to the dome cathedral to study books after sunrise every day, and learn from Guderian the principles explained in Saint Laurent's commandments.Five days have passed like this until today.

However, there has never been a day when this domed cathedral has become so empty.

...as if everyone in it had died.

As soon as such a thought appeared, Charles was immediately startled.He shook his head hastily to dispel the disrespectful thought.

This is the Holy Land, where Saint Laurent performed miracles.There is probably no place in this world that is more sacred than this place.

If something goes wrong here, it is not impossible for Saint Laurent's faith to completely collapse.

Then, there is only one answer left.

"Could it be that today is a special day?"

Charles tilted his head and decided to ask the teacher first.After all, he is stupid and slow, and it would be bad if he accidentally committed some taboo.

But he walked all the way towards the Pope's Hall, but there was always a bad feeling slowly emerging in his heart.The strange sense of disobedience made him stop suddenly in front of the Pope's hall, and his right hand stopped suddenly.

Charles' pupils shrank instantly.

He realized, he felt where the sense of disobedience was.

That's the smell of the air.

What wafts in the air today is not the usual incense... but a rotten smell similar to that wafting from a tomb.

This is a nearly impossible situation.

Because he knew in his heart that one of the areas Saint Laurent mastered was cleanliness.Even if the place where Saint Laurent was worshiped could not be said to be spotless, it would definitely not smell of corruption.

But even though he realized something was wrong, Charles gritted his teeth and decided to push open the door of the Pope's Hall.

The next moment, his body froze slightly.

Then without hesitation, he turned around and ran away!

The reason is very simple - he saw Duoduo's head placed in front of the long table in the Pope's hall, and looked at himself in shock and anger.And an unfamiliar middle-aged man with a silver cut and a short cut who gave people a great sense of crisis was sitting in Saint Laurent's seat. Hearing the voice, he raised his head with some doubts.

Although Charles understands that it is absolutely impossible to kill the undead with a small injury of the degree of severed head... But the real problem is that this at least shows that the fighting power of this middle-aged man is higher than that of Cardinal Duoduo.

That's scary enough.For Shire, those powerhouses above gold are simply legends. It was a completely different world from him who had just advanced to bronze.

Thinking of the empty domed cathedral, a feeling of near-desperate fear emerged in Charles' heart.

No, you must find a teacher!

Find the teacher and let him rule His Majesty Saint Laurent, come right back!
However, before leaving the temple, Charles' footsteps gradually stopped.

His body trembled and his fingers couldn't help but twitch.

That's because he is extremely familiar with the "thing" that stands in front of his eyes.

I say "thing" because it doesn't look like any known living thing by any means.

There was only a transparent hole where his heart was, and the dried dark red blood dyed the red robe a strange color.According to human standards, he had died countless times long ago, but he was able to stand here well now, which was undoubtedly the most filthy thing that violated Saint Laurent's commandments.

But even so, Shire would never mistake that person.

"……teacher……?"

He confirmed with a voice trembling to the point of choking.

"Sorry, Charles."

The man turned around slowly, and softly said in a voice as flat as a machine: "I don't want to do this."

His eyes were emotionless and gray.
