The mage arrives

"What do you mean?" Archbishop Dudica looked at Savi Langdon, his attitude restrained a little because he was intimidated by the other party's identity.

"Madam Archbishop, maybe you have been dazzled by unnecessary anger, and you didn't hear what I just said clearly. Then I'll repeat it again." Savi Langdon gracefully performed a noble courtesy to Ms. Dudika , but his words were not so polite.

"Ben Anisa colluded with a cult and studied necromancy in private. We have already obtained solid evidence. You are unwilling to accept this fact for various reasons, and we can understand..."

"I just think you guys acted too hastily!"

"Sloppy? So how do you handle this matter carefully?" The chief mage of the Phoenix family sneered, his face changed, "Fleuris City was attacked by a cult on the Requiem Blessing Day, and suffered heavy losses. Even the The most important demon heart was also taken away by the enemy. At such an urgent moment, we naturally have to use all resources and take all necessary means to prevent the next plan of the Death Will Sect. And Ben Anisa is The key to our defeat of the Death Will sect. Do we still have to follow the rules, procrastinate, and sit and watch the group of cult lunatics destroy the entire city of Fleuris? You think the arrest of Ben Anisa is sloppy. But it’s just the opposite , I think this is precisely the excellent result that can only be achieved by making a decisive attack."

"But Ben Anisa is a member of the Temple of Dawn, you can't ignore my opinion and act without authorization!"

"That's right, Ben Anisa is indeed the bishop of the Temple of Dawn. But he is also a citizen of Freiris City. We nobles may not be as pious as the priests. But the belief in defending this city is as firm. Or , Ms. Archbishop believes that the power of the church is greater than the power of the emperor. We are not qualified to arrest Ben Anisa?"

The topic involved a dispute between secular power and religious power, and Archbishop Dudika did not dare to refute it easily.She paused, ready to ignore the big hat that the other party put on her, and continue to refute.It's just that this short pause made the lady finally calm down.He looked at those people who were following Savi Langdon.In addition to the mage representative of the Phoenix family, there were other members of the great nobles in Fleuris City, and even a few elves and dwarves.

"Duala lapis lazuli? Even he participated in tonight's operation?" Ms. Dudika's heart tightened.

She knew very well that the dwarf Douala was in the temple of Moradin and the secular society of the dwarves.They all have extremely high status and prestige, and the lapis lazuli family is the leading family in the Lonely Mountain Kingdom.The other elves from the Temple of Corellon, the lord god of elves, were not just for nothing.

The city of Freijus is due to its prosperous commercial trade and convenient transportation.Attracting people from all over the mainland to live, it is a veritable multicultural and multiethnic melting pot.Now not only the human aristocrats of Fleuris City are united, but even the dwarves and elves are also participating in the capture of Ben Anisa...

Archbishop Dudika realized.The isolated side of myself.I am afraid that it will be difficult to shake the huge combined forces of the other party.This time I can only suffer a loss.

This time Gordon planned to arrest Ben Anisa. The reason why people of different classes, races, and beliefs in Fleuris City actively participated was that apart from the huge influence of the Phoenix family, there were other factors. a reason.

That's the shadow left by the death sect's attack on Requiem Blessing Day over the entire city.Safety is threatened and lives are not guaranteed.It is natural for people to be afraid, to be afraid.Will seek asylum, will want to take action to create a safer social environment.

So when Gordon made a suggestion and Savi Langdon personally lobbied, all the forces in Freiris City rushed to join the action.In normal times, it would be extremely difficult for these people to attack Bishop Ben Anisa, who has the reputation of a saint, without definite evidence.The Phoenix family may have to pay a lot of money, and even resort to disgraceful means such as coercion and bribery, in order to win over a helper.

But after experiencing a bloody and terrible attack, people with floating hearts and panic are easily persuaded.

Seeing that Archbishop Dudika didn't speak any more, Gordon knew that his side had won this dispute - by uniting all the forces that could be united.

"Ms. Dudika, instead of entangled with us here, you should first consider how to minimize the negative influence of Ben Anisa's arrest. I suggest that the Temple of Dawn hold a ceremony to let Meridi Ms. Ya took back Ben Anisa's divine power."

Although he was extremely displeased with Gordon, Archbishop Dudika had to admit in his heart that what this young man said was very reasonable.Bishop Ben Anisa, who had a perfect image, was even called a saint in private, and was used by the entire church as a model, has now been unmasked overnight and has become a self-willed depraved, A villain who collaborates with a cult and studies necromancy.Such a scandal will greatly damage the credibility and prestige of the Temple of Dawn in the parish of Changxia Province, and even in the whole of Freyton.

According to the statement on Earth, the Temple of Dawn is currently experiencing a crisis of corporate trust.

Seeing that Ms. Dudika fell silent, Gordon continued: "I think you should announce the arrest of Ben Anisa to the public as soon as possible, and try your best to promote the strict discipline of the Temple of Dawn, severely punish traitors, and not let an evil one go. The style of the person. I think how to formulate the specific wording, you must have talents in this area."

"Archbishop, please rest assured, we will do our best to provide assistance to minimize the adverse effects caused by Ben Anisa." Savi Langdon added.

This time, the arrest of Ben Anisa deliberately bypassed the Temple of Dawn, not to say that there were any conflicts between other nobles and the Temple of Dawn itself, but that everyone didn’t like to be entangled with troublesome characters like Dudica.After all, the Temple of Dawn is one of the three major religious forces in the empire, and has a wide influence in the city of Freiris. Now that the matter has been completed, the entire city must concentrate its strength to deal with the challenge of the Death Will sect. It is certainly impossible to exclude the Temple of Dawn.

"Ma'am, things have already happened. I think everyone should stop dwelling on the past and focus on dealing with new crises that may arise in the future."

"Huh! Let's go!" Although Ms. Dudika did not admit it, she undoubtedly agreed with Gordon's suggestion in her heart.With a cold snort, she turned and left with the two faithful nuns.

"Okay, the problem is solved, everyone get on the horse and hurry. Arrive at Phoenixburg early and have a good rest." Savi Langdon patted Gordon on the shoulder, "The battle in the villa must have been fierce, and you are also lucky. Sufficient Rest has a crucial impact on the combat effectiveness of a mage, you'd better put aside the matter of interrogating Ben Anisa first."

Gordon nodded, and when he got on his horse, a thin voice came from his ear: "Thank you, Gordon."

He looked at Renas.

Miss Paladin explained: "I know that you just ignored the past and instructed Archbishop Dudika how to deal with the aftermath for my sake."

Gordon did say so much to Archbishop Dudika for the sake of Reinas.Although, as a seeker, she does not need to be under the jurisdiction of the local clergy and has the right to act independently, she is a member of the Temple of Dawn after all.This kind of thing that bypasses the entire Temple of Dawn and cooperates with other nobles and the church of gods, to put it bluntly, is called eating inside and outside, and it will have a bad impact on her reputation inside the Temple of Dawn.

Although Renas is only wearing a vest of "Dawn Paladin" and her true identity is the paladin of Blood Goddess Titus, she still needs to stay in the temple and use church resources to achieve her goals.So Gordon also had to try his best to help her bridge the relationship with the Temple of Dawn afterwards, lest she be excluded in the future.

Although Ben Anisa was captured, the Temple of Dawn lost a model bishop with the reputation of a saint, and there was an extra traitor with a stigma, but if this change did not cause any damage to the Temple of Dawn, then Lenas will not encounter too many difficulties in the church.

After all, in such a huge organization, the forces are intricate and complex, and she is the focus person who holds a weapon bestowed by the goddess like Daybreak, so she is easy to be targeted, so she must be cautious in everything.

"Then," Gordon leaned gently into Lenas's ear, "since you want to thank me, you should take some practical actions. You know, dealing with that kind of stubborn and grumpy old woman , is very unfit for physical and mental health.”

Miss Paladin's intuition thought that there was something in Gordon's words, but she still bit her lip and asked, "How do you want me to thank you?"

"When you are free, wear a shorter skirt for my appreciation..."

Although he said so, Gordon knew that he might not know when he would be able to cash in his gentleman's benefits from Reinas.

When I'm free...it's easy to say, but the next time I really have free time, I don't know how long it will be.

After the convoy escorting Ben Anisa arrived in Phoenix, Gordon seized the time to rest for a few hours. After waking up at dawn, he felt energetic. Then he came to the underground prison and met Ben Anisa.

The former bishop had already undergone the baptism of light for the clergy in the Temple of Dawn.The Goddess of Dawn, who was far away in the Kingdom of God, felt the call of the believers, and took time to pay attention to this land far away in the main material world, and then found Ben Anisa, an incompetent priest.As a matter of course, the former bishop was deprived of his power by the goddess, and could no longer perform divine spells.
