Torture Officer Xiao Jie Just Wants to Fish

"It's just... I was distracted and thought about something."

Dorothy said so, even showing a somewhat guilty expression.

But fortunately, Miss Rose didn't ask what she was thinking - if she really asked, Dorothy might panic and hesitate for a while and couldn't make up anything.

But it happened that Rose didn't ask about it, which made Dorothy feel a little annoyed.

She glanced at Rose secretly, and found that Rose had tied the horse to the nearby manger and walked towards the door of the church.

This place seems to be located on the outskirts of Xinshu City, surrounded by low houses and lush trees. Although the road is still clean and quiet, it is much narrower. The weeds on both sides do not seem to be as neat as in the city. .

It is strange to say that in a large city like New Dawn City, which is also the "face" of the Holy Empire, there is actually a "small church" here.

The walls are covered with traces of time. Cracks and peeling walls reveal the gray stone bricks inside, and the edges of the gaps have been polished quite smooth. It seems that they have stood here for a hundred years.

Although there is a more magnificent church in the center of the city here, where the worship, singing, prayer and other activities of daily residents will be carried out, but this church seems to have never been repaired or renovated, and it is still a bit weird.

On the plaque standing next to the church, the gold lacquer handwriting has almost peeled off to the point where it cannot be seen, but you can still vaguely recognize yourself.

"Gilloweaver Church."

Rose stepped forward and pushed open the half-closed double wooden door. The old wooden door made a tooth-piercing "squeak" sound.

Although the interior of the church is old, it is also very bright, and at the same time, some interior features that were popular thousands of years ago can be seen-although the exterior styles of the churches of the Holy Lito Empire and the Church of Light have almost never changed, the interiors are changed.

A small square window near the dome casts beams of tangible light, which just shines on the white smooth stone brick walkway in the middle, shining brightly.

The wooden benches on both sides are arranged in a fan shape, surrounding the prayer platform at the end of the aisle.

The cast-iron Holy Light Circle exudes a faint brilliance and hangs on the prayer platform. Angels with invisible faces are painted on the walls, and there are several portraits of "saints" hanging on both sides.

There are portraits of the Holy Maiden of Light and the Pope.

Rose walked softly down the aisle, and Dorothy followed closely behind her.

"Teacher, what are we doing here?"

asked Dorothy in a low voice.

"Stay overnight," Rose replied in a low voice, "there is nothing that can help you in the cathedral in New Dawn City."

The holy water springs that can nourish the soul must contain enough power of holy light.

Rose didn't feel that there was enough concentration here - but it was reasonable, no matter how "luxury" this place was, it was after all a border town of the Holy Empire.

The conditions for forming holy water that is "enough" for Dorothy to bathe Dorothy are too harsh.

Fortunately, there is this small church here, where Rose can spend the night.

Most of the churches, in addition to allowing the people to pray daily and accept various entrustments within the scope of the Illuminati Church, such as healing and dispelling monsters, are also the "home" of every serving clergyman of the Illuminati Church.

Expatriate priests can stay in any church.

Rose would never have done it without this small church.

Because she was staying near the central church that was actually next to the Second Guards Corps, Rose felt that she might as well surrender herself.

The pastor in the Guangming Church and the pastor outside the church are two different concepts.

In New Dawn City, there are definitely bishop-level guys, plus a paladin who is probably also a deputy head-level paladin in the legion. There may be two epic-level guys here.

Maybe the other party can tell his identity if he is not sure.

He may not be able to tell that he is a succubus, but if he suddenly sees through his outer disguise like Bishop Carpenter and pretends to be a big shot... that would be a bit tricky.

After all, this is already within the territory of the Bright Church!

If the other party informs the real "high-level personnel" to come to meet him, and really exposes himself, then it will not be fun.

So when Rose felt the existence of this small church, it was a surprise.

It is also somewhat suspicious for an expatriate priest to stay in a hotel within the Holy Empire.

The timing of this little church was perfect.

After leading Dorothy through the front hall of the church and bypassing the prayer altar, Rose found the existence of the "back door" with ease.

It's usually where the clergy, like priests, nuns, and stuff like that live.

But in broad daylight, there is no one on duty in the church, which is somewhat strange.

Rose grabbed the doorknob and was about to turn it, but suddenly felt a little resistance.

"what--?"

Rose showed a rather curious expression.

Then the fluctuation of the power of the holy light from the door made Rose understand.

The door turned out to be locked with magic.

But it is also reasonable, probably this is equivalent to the meaning of "no entry for idlers".

Only the clergy can enter, so ordinary people have to be screened.

Rose didn't think too much, and easily unlocked the spell constructed by the power of the Holy Light on the door.

Then, push the door and walk in.

A rather long corridor, about twice as long as imagined, appeared in front of Rose. There were still portraits hanging on the corridor.

The portraits were covered with dust, but through the dust, Rose found that most of the people in those portraits were unknown to her.

Compared with the popes and saints hanging in the front hall, these characters seem to be some big figures in the Church of Light, but they are not very familiar.

This made Rose a little strange, but before she had time to think about it, she continued to walk forward.

Finally came to a wooden door.

The wooden door was equally old.

Rose knocked lightly on the wooden door.

"Boom, boom."

The voice echoed in the empty corridor, but there was still no answer.

"Is anyone here?"

Rose shouted into the wooden door, and then unfolded her perception.

Later, she discovered again...

This wooden door is also covered with a sealed divine spell.

"This is weird..."

Rose didn't think too much, and then unlocked the magic.

More complicated than the last one, but still no problem for Rose.

The moment the divine spell was released, the wooden door opened slowly by itself.

What emerges from behind the door...

It is a scene that is somewhat incompatible with this church.

It was definitely not the office or living room of the priest or the nun.

It's just too small here.

There is a row of shelves and a box in the corner, and a simple bed on the opposite side.

It also looks dusty, but there is not much dust.

There are no windows, no tables and chairs, not even a textbook.

Rose even felt that this place was more like a prison cell!

542 What a divine splendor that is!

Rose looked at the extremely simple interior of this small room inside the Jirovieve Church, and after thinking about it for more than ten seconds, she came to a conclusion.

"The priests of the older generation of the Illuminati Church are really hard and simple!"

She sighed.

Dorothy behind her listened to her teacher's emotion, showing a slightly puzzled expression.

At first, she thought there was something wrong with this room!

But since my teacher said that there is no problem, it seems that I must be worrying too much.

Thinking this way, Dorothy didn't make any more noise.

Rose also followed her own train of thought and continued to make a reasoning about the Guilloweaver Church.

"The pastor here must have been dispatched as well."

It is also very reasonable that the pastor of the small church is sent out.

Rose thought this was reasonable, given how tidy the man's living room was and how long it looked like it hadn't been lived in.

The poor furnishings must indicate that this is a very decent and simple priest.

That's why he seriously put a seal on the door - although this is not recorded in the scriptures, it is indeed mentioned in some books published by bishops such as the "Code of Conduct" of the Church of Light.

When leaving the church, pay attention to protection.

Probably his personal items in this room have already been taken away.

Rose thought so, and then walked to the box.

Surprisingly, the box was not locked.

As a succubus and a time traveler, Rose feels...

Even the door was open, there was no reason not to take a look at the box.

After opening the box, what Rose saw...

It was a priest's robes neatly stacked.

There are four in total, ranging from the plain white robes of ordinary missionary priests, to the bishop's moon-white robes, and even a gray robe and a red robe.

Each robe has a registered "Holy Light Emblem" of the Illuminati Church-the pastor's name will be engraved under this emblem, which is almost equivalent to the ID card of the Illuminati Church pastor.
