You are my sin uncrowned poem

The mark on the neck really attracted a lot of people's attention, Chuck pulled Dean aside and asked him directly what was going on impatiently.Except for the special situation of estrus, even if they are not knights of the Holy Knight Order, civilians are quite conservative in sexual matters.Even if a pair of married couples are traveling together, the distance between the two should not be too close, let alone such a person roaming around the city with suspicious hickeys.

Dean continued to play dumb, telling Chuck that it was a bug bite.The accompanying priest naturally wouldn't believe Dean's nonsense, he scowled and warned Dean that as a paladin he couldn't lie, Dean threw him a look full of interest, and asked him why he was so sure that it was a hickey.

Chuck was momentarily at a loss for words.

"It's really a bug. I slept in Sam's room last night and didn't even move. Where can I get someone to give me a slap on my neck?" Dean laughed at Chuck's fuss on the surface, but in his heart he was confused by the memory of the morning. Not just a racing heart.

Dean would lead a patrolling cavalry formation every two hours, with short breaks between shifts.Taking advantage of this short rest, he rode his horse through the streets of the city and the tall arches under the bell tower to the outside of the church.

He dismounted and trotted all the way through the empty corridors and grand main hall of the church, strode up the marble steps and quickly went upstairs.On the stairs, Sam had just left the bishop's office and happened to meet Dean as he went downstairs.Unexpectedly meeting Dean here, Sam nodded, and before he could say "good afternoon", Dean just reached out and pressed his shoulder as a greeting, and then strode past him.

Sam turned his head in surprise, until Dean went upstairs and turned towards the corridor on the west side, his back disappeared around the corner.

Dean had come to see the Bishop.

Pushing open the door and stepping on the carpet that covered the entire office, Dean greeted the bishop aloud.The bishop was sitting behind his desk reading the papers from the dioceses of the diocese.The arrival of the young Grand Master interrupted his work. He raised his head, smiled at the knight, and asked, "What's the matter, Your Excellency Grand Master? The dean told me about the key, and I have written The letter has been sent to His Majesty the Pope, but the reply from the Holy See may take some time."

Dean didn't come here for this matter, but since the bishop brought it up, he had no choice but to take it up and say, "Actually, things don't have to be so troublesome...I just..."

"That's about the safety of the sealed magic weapon. Of course, the more cautious the better." The bishop shook his head disapprovingly, but his tone was still kind, "So if you are here to ask about this matter, I'm afraid I can't agree to hand over the key to you. here you are."

If I knew that the bishop was going to write a letter to the Pope, I should have asked the Pope to write an edict.

Dean sighed inwardly, scratching his head in frustration.

But he didn't come here today for this matter.

"I came mainly for another matter."

The bishop was a little surprised when he heard that. After all, the chief inspector of the knight order has always been in charge of contacting the church, and the grand master is more responsible for managing the knights and deciding their actions.He put down his work and motioned for Dean to sit in a nearby chair.Standing up and taking out a set of fine china cups from the cabinet, the Bishop poured Dean a cup of tea.

"What's the matter?"

"About the demon," Dean said, quietly watching the Bishop's reaction.The elder bishop only paused when he heard the words, but did not show any other expressions.He brought the tea to Dean, and Dean took the cup with both hands, and continued, "How much do you know about demons?"

"Your Excellency, can you tell me why you suddenly asked about this? Is it related to the recently discovered demon?"

Dean nodded perfunctorily.

"All the demons I saw devoured human souls and occupied human skins, and then went to find new targets. But I have heard people say that there are also people who actively summon demons, trade with demons, and... I heard that humans swallowed the blood of demons and turned into demons...is there really such a thing?"

After listening to Dean's question, the Bishop stared at him thoughtfully for a long while.The young Grand Master was sitting on a comfortable chair with a teacup in his hands, fearing that the bishop who was older than his father would see something.

"There is such a thing as trading, and there is also the demonization you mentioned." The bishop said suddenly when Dean was most nervous. He turned and walked to the huge bookshelf standing by the wall, looking up the rows of books. A certain book, "It is the lowest level of demons that directly devour souls, and those who can trade with humans are demon lords. There were seven lords and seven hell knights under the demon king Lucifer," he said, and finally found what he was looking for He raised his hand and pulled out the book, turned to the middle page in a hurry, turned around and passed it in front of Dean, "The devil bought Judas, the lord bewitched the powerful, and the Son was crucified on the cross. But with the resurrection of the Son, the miracles came, Legend has it that the demon lords were all wiped out overnight."

Holding the teacup in one hand, Dean took the book from the bishop with one hand, put it on his lap, and read the words on it carefully.

This is a lonely copy, and only the bishop has one in his collection.It contained some legends about demons in detail, and the Pope ordered it to be destroyed in order to prevent someone from actually summoning demons according to the method in the book.When the bishop was still a priest, he risked disobedience to the decree and secretly kept a copy until a few years later, when the pope learned about it, he decided not to pursue it.

The bishop is one of the most prestigious bishops in the country, and there are even rumors that he will be the next cardinal.

"But the transaction you mentioned does exist, but it's not that humans summoned demons, but they took the initiative to 'visit' the demon lord with sacrifices. Only when the lord is willing to accept his soul can they form a transaction relationship, and the kiss is used as proof of the contract .” Perhaps worried that too much content in the book would be read by Dean, the bishop politely picked up the book again and turned a few pages, “As for the demonization——”

Hearing the bishop finally mention his most concerned issue, Dean unconsciously straightened his back and listened carefully to his next words.

"Demonization is more of a legend, and there are not many records. Maybe there are not many people who have been baptized... Those who have been baptized will wash away all old sins, including the giving and receiving of demon blood. The Holy Cross will help them purify, If you often touch holy objects, the speed of purification will also be accelerated."

"Is this the only way to purify people contaminated by demon blood?"

The bishop held the book in his hand, and his suspicious eyes quickly slid to Dean from the book. He looked at Dean silently for a while, and his gaze stayed on the red mark on Dean's neck for a moment, before he asked, "Your Excellency, have you ever seen such a thing?" people?"

"No." Dean immediately shook his head and denied it. Under the elder's gaze, he rubbed his finger on the tip of his nose guiltily, "Just curious. There may be other unusual things happening if the magic artifact is not destroyed if there are demons in the parish .The more we know, the more we can come up with to deal with it.”

Perhaps believing Dean's words, the bishop stopped looking at him and nodded approvingly.

"Unfortunately, the only way to purify is to touch the sacred object."

The bishop's words made Dean bow his head and ponder. Sam comes to the church every day. There are many holy relics in the church. Sam should have many opportunities to touch them.But even so, why did that kind of "accident" happen twice?

But this question could not be asked to Dean again, the bishop had already sensed something was wrong, and asking it again would only arouse his suspicions even more.

Maybe when he found out about the sudden appearance of the demon in the city, Sam's problem would be investigated as well.

Dean put the teacup aside, stood up and said, "Thank you for your patience, I will continue to investigate the devil in the city. If the Pope writes back to you, please tell me directly, and don't tell anyone about it. "

The bishop nodded knowingly. Dean was about to leave when the bishop stopped him suddenly.He turned his head, thinking that the bishop still had something to tell him to do.

"How did you get that red mark on your neck?" The bishop frowned slightly, as if confused and concerned for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking.

"Today has been misunderstood by many people. Believe me, there are really a lot of bugs in the monastery." Dean lied sincerely, covering the hickey on his neck, "My rest time is almost over, I hope I didn't disturb your work .”

"I'm also investigating the matter of the devil here. If you need to consult anything, you can go directly to the Inspector General."

Dean nodded and turned away from the church.
