Chapter 47 Farce
In the living room.
The mother, who was slumped beside him with a pale face, heard Isa's words, and a little hopeful light rose in her cloudy eyes again.
She turned her head to look at Isa, who was wearing a loose black robe.
Unlike before, this time, she did not feel even a trace of chill from the priest.
Wallis stared silently at the trembling priest in front of him, and a little confusion arose in his heart.
Something seemed wrong.
Is this still the Isa he knew?
He suppressed the slight uneasiness in his heart, corrected his words slightly, and spoke again: "What's the difference?"
"Although there is no official order at present, Chen Fan will inevitably be deprived of his status as God's Chosen One for reading banned books without authorization."
"But you, I can't understand why you do this?"
Seeing that the rhythm of the conversation was proceeding as Chen Fan expected, Isa's uneasy mood gradually calmed: "Sir Chen Fan is a good man."
"I can't bear and don't want to see the Chosen One chosen by the goddess herself being slandered as a sinner."
"The Lord will be disappointed if the church does this."
Looking at Isa who was answering fluently, Wallis felt even more uneasy.
So he decided to speed up the pace and use his power to pressure others:
"Priest Isa, whether you admit it or not, your behavior is a betrayal of the church."
Wallis paused and changed his original decision to forgive Isa: "You left your post without permission, and during the mission you contacted the sinners... and the Chosen One Chen Fan on your own, and leaked the internal affairs of the church to him."
"Now, I declare that you will be deprived of your priesthood, and the church will judge your sins after the Ceremony of God's Descent."
The black hood trembled slightly: "Lord Wallis..."
"No need to say more." Wallis, who regained the rhythm of the conversation, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Isa, Chen Fan has already escaped, don't you realize the problem?"
"If he is not guilty and has nothing to hide, why did he escape from the window?"
"You don't have to delay time for him."
"To tell you the truth, the church has dispatched a large number of guards, and it is estimated that he will be brought back soon."
"As for the good man you mentioned before..."
Wallis sighed and shook his head gently: "You were won over by just a little favor, Isa, you disappoint me so much."
"But..."
The black hood swayed a little more, and a strand of silver-white hair quietly slipped out from under the hood. "Mr. Chen Fan did not run away."
Isa paused and added, "He is still in the room behind me."
"..."
"What?!"
...
Inside the room.
Chen Fan slowly got up from the chair, turned his head to look at the open window and the white and gold short robe that was obviously one size larger left on the desk.
He sniffed hard and reached out to wipe his red and swollen eyes.
The tear glands that had just had a little rest began to ooze water again under the stimulation of dust.
The real show began.
With a bitter face, he stretched out his hand to open the half-closed door and walked out.
"My Lord Bishop."
Chen Fan leaned down and saluted solemnly to Wallis in a purple robe: "May the Lord be with you."
Looking at Chen Fan with red and swollen eyes in front of him, Wallis subconsciously took a half step back.
"You... why are you here?"
Chen Fan raised his head and revealed a hint of confusion at the right time: "Your Excellency the Bishop, this is my home, why can't I be here?"
"You..."
Under the purple robe, the mechanical prosthesis on Wallis's face trembled slightly. At this moment, he felt like he had seen a ghost.
He turned around and whispered to the priest beside him: "Didn't you say that he had escaped through the window?"
The priest who was asked was also confused: "???"
As the atmosphere became increasingly awkward, a strong voice came from the corridor.
"Let me go!"
"What do you want?!"
"I am the Chosen One! A few little priests dared to do this to me, they are rebelling against you!"
"Wait, I will go to Bishop Wallis to seek justice later!"
Hearing the familiar voice getting closer, Bishop Wallis's mood gradually became complicated.
Fuck.
How could it be that silly Gao Yuan? !
As for Chen Fan...
he was trying hard to hold back his laughter.
In all honesty, he really just gave a few pointers.
I never expected Gao Yuan to be so talented in this area! !
...
"Bishop?!"
Gao Yuan's voice was surprised and happy behind him: "Why are you here?!"
"I was just looking for you. Do these priests still have respect for hierarchy?"
Gao Yuan's face was a little angry: "I just got downstairs and they pushed me to the ground without saying anything."
"Look at how dirty my short robe is!"
"I just borrowed it from Chen Fan. How can I explain it to him?" It
was not until then that Gao Yuan "happened" to notice Chen Fan surrounded by a group of priests: "Also, what are you doing around Chen Fan? Do you still want to attack the two chosen ones?!"
Wallis watched this "farce" silently.
Yes, it was a farce.
From the moment he saw Chen Fan walk out of the room, he knew that he had failed.
He extended his sophisticated mechanical right arm from his gorgeous purple bishop robe and waved it gently: "Let's stop here."
"Sir Gao Yuan, I want to ask you a few questions."
Listening to the dull mechanical synthesized voice, Gao Yuan quickly restrained his emotions: "Go ahead and ask."
"Why did you borrow clothes from Chen Fan? Why did you climb out the window?"
"My original robe of the Chosen One is dirty!" Gao Yuan looked at Bishop Wallis blankly, "Wearing a dirty robe of the Chosen One is a great disrespect to the Lord."
"As for climbing out the window..."
"Don't you find that this robe of the Chosen One is too small for me? I don't want to embarrass myself in front of so many believers."
The confusion on Gao Yuan's face became even heavier: "...Does the church stipulate that the Chosen One cannot climb out the window?"
Wallis sighed imperceptibly, turned his head to look at Chen Fan, who had been silent, and tried to make a final effort: "Sir Chen Fan, do you have anything else to say about what Sir Gao Yuan and Priest Isa said?"
"What is your purpose in reading that forbidden book?"
Seeing this, Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief: He had waited for so long, and finally it was his time to show his talent!
Under the gaze of everyone, he looked distressed, and at the same time reached out to wipe his red and swollen eyes.
"My Lord Bishop, Priest Isa has told me about the matter."
"I can swear to the Lord that I only looked through the book out of curiosity."
As he said this, he carefully glanced at Wallis's mechanical prosthesis that stretched out his purple bishop's robe, with obvious yearning in his eyes: "I'm just a little curious about these God-given things, is there anything wrong with that?"
"Besides..."
Chen Fan hesitated for a moment: "I didn't see any forbidden information in that book."
"Is there any misunderstanding?"
