Chapter 48 Bishop, you don't want to...
"Is there any misunderstanding?"
Facing Chen Fan's question, Bishop Wallis fell silent again.
How should he answer?
Could it be that the church found prohibited information in the interlayer of the book pages during the detailed inspection?
But the problem is... when the church got the forbidden book, there was no sign of human damage to the interlayer!
Under the gorgeous hood, a pair of mechanical eyes flashing red stared at Chen Fan, whose face was full of innocence and confusion.
Previously, at the third oracle ceremony, he had a good impression of this chosen one - he could stay calm during the oracle ceremony, and this chosen one would definitely satisfy the goddess.
But now, Bishop Wallis, who has repeatedly hit a wall, looked at the face not far away and felt a burst of irritation in his heart.
Gao Yuan aside, he has always been like this. Isha's abnormal performance, he absolutely doesn't believe that no one is behind him!
There is a problem, absolutely a problem!
Wallis had already guessed who was behind the scenes - without a doubt, it was the seemingly harmless Chosen One, Chen Fan!
But... he couldn't produce any evidence.
No matter how many suspicions he had in his heart, in the absence of evidence, the identity of the Chosen One was the best protection for Chen Fan.
The God's Descent Ceremony was imminent, let alone the bishops and archbishops, even the Pope would not attack the Chosen One for no reason!
"Maybe."
Bishop Wallis suppressed his anxiety and took a half step back: "Your Excellency Chen Fan, what you said makes sense."
Although he was already very happy, Chen Fan's face still maintained the original innocence and confusion.
No matter how hard Bishop Wallis and the Archbishop thought, they could not imagine that he read the prohibited information in the interlayer without destroying the interlayer of the book pages.
Coupled with the information provided by Isa and Gao Yuan, Bishop Wallis's vague statement could not have any effect on Chen Fan, who had a "God's perspective"!
Wallis looked at Chen Fan, who did not reveal any flaws, and felt disappointed.
This farce should end here, right?
The answer is no.
If it was at the beginning of the time travel, facing a completely unfamiliar environment, Chen Fan might choose to stop at the right time in exchange for more benefits.
But now...
the change of the Varela calendar is imminent, coupled with the incident of the banned tome, the time for the conflict between him and the church to be triggered has been greatly advanced.
In order to ensure that the church does not continue to cause trouble for him, and to ensure the smooth implementation of the next plan, he must use his identity as the Chosen One to put pressure on the church-although the church's attitude towards the Chosen One has always been somewhat vague, the Chosen One still has a very high status in legal terms.
Besides... who knows how long he can be the Chosen One, and if he doesn't use this identity to do something, wouldn't it be a waste?
Thinking of this, Chen Fan showed a perfect expression of understanding and grief on his face:
"My Lord Bishop, although I don't know much about the forbidden books, I still understand your difficulties."
"But... have you ever thought about one thing?"
"Why are there forbidden books in the church's library?"
"My Lord Bishop, please make sure to find out about this matter. Once it is left unchecked, it may cause irreparable harm to all the Chosen Ones."
"You don't want all the Chosen Ones to be called sinners, do you?"
Wallis's face suddenly changed.
But after thinking about it carefully, this is indeed a huge hidden danger - every Chosen One can enter and leave the library freely. What if there are other forbidden books in it, what if this matter becomes known to the whole city...
Threat, this is a naked threat!
Looking at the faint smile on Chen Fan's face, Wallis immediately felt a chill rising along his mechanical spine.
"...I understand."
"Sir Chen Fan, please rest assured that the church will give you an explanation."
Vosley used his mechanical eye to carefully examine Chen Fan again, then turned around and waved his hand, leading the priests and guards to the gate:
"Let's go back to the main church."
...
Watching the priests leave, Chen Fan returned to his room expressionlessly.
It was not until the moment he closed the door that Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
He held the back of a chair beside him and slowly sat on the wooden chair in the room. He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and sighed in a low voice: "It should be fine now."
"Lao Gao, I guess the church has no time to trouble us these days."
"These days?" A soft voice came from behind, "Do you mean that the church will trouble you again in a few days?"
No, it may not be as simple as trouble in a few days - the Chosen One will defect, and the scene will be much bigger than now.
Just as Chen Fan was about to explain, he suddenly realized a problem: Damn, where did the soft voice come from in this room?
"...Issa? Why are you still here?!"
Chen Fan lowered his head and saw Little Potato, who was standing carefully beside the closed door and whose figure was perfectly covered by the black priest robe: "Shouldn't you follow Bishop Wallis back to the church?!"
"..."
Silence.
After dozens of seconds of silence, Chen Fan saw the wide priest robe in front of him tremble slightly: "...Yes, is that so?"
A confused voice came from under the black hood.
"But didn't Bishop Wallis just deprive me of my priesthood?"
Chen Fan: "..."
Don't tell me, it seems to be true.
This is troublesome.
Looking at Isa who was quietly shrinking in the corner of the room, Chen Fan raised his hand and scratched the back of his head.
Let Isa go back to the church?
This is definitely not possible.
Bishop Wallis just got frustrated with him, who knows how angry he is now!
Put yourself in his shoes, if he were Bishop Wallis, he would definitely vent all his anger on the "culprit" Isa, after all, it was she who leaked the secrets of the church.
Then... let Isa stay in his own home?
This seems to be a bit problematic. Let
's talk about Gao Yuan first. As a chosen one of God, he is thinking about correcting the chaos and leading the church to the "correct" direction of development.
Let's talk about himself. He is also a chosen one of God, but he is thinking about how to avoid the chosen ceremony, how to get rid of the control of the church, and how to escape from the city of Varela...
Listen, is this reasonable?
If Isa knew the true situation of the two...
"Um, Isa, right?"
Before Chen Fan could sort out the follow-up operations, Gao Yuan's voice came from the side: "Since the church doesn't want you anymore, why don't you follow us?"
"The current church is too deformed. Let's find an opportunity to overthrow it and then lead the church on the right path."
"What... people-oriented! Yes, people-oriented!"
"How about it? Think about it carefully?"
Chen Fan: "...???
Isa: "?!!"
Looking at the horrified scene where Isa took a half step back because of shock and pressed her thin body against the door, Chen Fan pulled the corner of his mouth and said in a stiff tone:
"How about...let me explain the people-oriented idea to you first?"
