Seated in the main seat of the carriage, the holy bishop of the Church of Light maintained his usual expression, showing no emotion.
Did he see it? Or... was everything under his control?
Pedro withdrew his gaze, lowered his head slightly, and fell into deep thought.
Pedro didn't notice that the moment he lowered his head, his assistant coach Alger, who had been sitting quietly opposite him, gave him a thoughtful look.
Did Pedro discover something?
Alger's eyes darkened slightly.
Despite the fact that he was in charge of all the arrangements for this trip, including the personnel, he is still completely clueless about it.
—I've gotten used to doing whatever Bishop Miller tells me without asking why.
Although he knew nothing, he could clearly sense that Bishop Miller had an unusual interest in Xu Ling, this witch…
So, what exactly makes this witch, who looks different from ordinary people, so special?
This question had been troubling Alger ever since Miller began paying attention to Xu Ling. But despite being troubled, Alger dared not ask Miller directly!
However, now...
His gaze shifted and fell on Pedro.
This person, aside from being of noble status, was sent by Bishop Leno. Given Bishop Leno's close attention to Bishop Miller, this person might know something...
Alger made up his mind and began to plan how to subtly pry open someone's mouth and get some information along the way.
After Xu Ling and Kao Pu's farce, the carriage returned to its previous tranquility, with only the sound of pattering rain outside seeping into the carriage through the cracks in the windows.
The rain made the road even muddier, but Alger, considering the potential dangers, abandoned his usual horse and instead asked the church for a griffin to pull the carriage.
Griffins are completely different from ordinary horses!
Not only are they several times larger, but their endurance and stamina are also top-notch. While an ordinary horse might need to rest after pulling for two or three hours, a griffin doesn't need to; two or three hours is a breeze for a griffin.
However, using griffins to pull carts also has its downsides. While griffins certainly look majestic, that majesty also means they are ferocious—griffins are several times more ferocious than ordinary horses!
If an ordinary person were to approach a griffin without paying attention, it could easily peck them and leave a bloody hole!
Fortunately, although griffins are fierce, the church does have ways to control them. However, despite this, there are still too few tamed griffins, and they are not as widely used as horses.
Alger was able to get a rickshaw from the church thanks to Miller's status and position.
Outside the carriage, the rain continued to fall, but now it seemed to be getting heavier, the raindrops pattering against the flowers and grass along the roadside. Soon, the torrential rain obscured the view, making it almost impossible to see the road ahead.
Fortunately, they finally arrived at their destination at that moment.
Alger stepped out of the carriage first, exchanged a few words with the people who came to greet him, and then returned to the carriage. The carriage then began to move again.
As the carriage moved slowly, Xu Ling noticed that the sound of rain outside the window gradually subsided until she could no longer hear the sound of raindrops hitting the ground, at which point the carriage stopped again.
This time, they all got off the car one after another.
After a day's journey, the night was already dark, and with the rain continuing to fall, the surrounding environment appeared particularly blurry.
Fortunately, although they couldn't see where they were, they immediately lowered their guard when they saw that the person who was greeting them was dressed in a silver-white robe.
—Needless to say, it must be a church site located somewhere!
Miller was the last to get off the car. As soon as he stepped off, he saw the greeter, who had been standing respectfully to the side, with excitement in his eyes. Without saying a word, the greeter was about to kneel down to pay his respects.
"Lord Miller!"
Miller nodded expressionlessly and said, "Get up."
Miller's voice was flat and even, as calm as water, but the person who was greeting him seemed to have heard some divine pronouncement and instantly became uncontrollably excited.
He stood up, almost trembling, his back bent. "M-Sir, the room is...it's ready. Please follow me." Fortunately, he managed to control his voice by the end, and his speech became fluent.
After saying this, he immediately stepped forward and respectfully gave directions to everyone.
Miller remained expressionless, but this time, after nodding, he took the initiative to follow.
Having learned in advance that Miller would be accompanying them on this trip, the people who came to greet them were not ordinary members of the church, but the only pastor, Sloan.
When he saw the silver-white boots embroidered with the symbol of the God of Light, unique to the bishop, Sloan could not hide his excitement even with his head down.
His body trembled slightly involuntarily.
This was something he never dreamed of—he actually met the legendary Bishop Miller in person!
This is Miller Engel!
He is the first person in history to be truly blessed by the God of Light, as witnessed by everyone!
God's favor is beyond question!
Because of this, everyone said that Bishop Miller would be taken away by angels and leave the world.
They were taken away by angels and left the human world...
Sloan's eyes lit up instantly, and he couldn't help but want to take a closer look at Bishop Miller, who was now very close.
After all, everyone on this continent knows what this means!
Of course, everyone knows that they could never have such an opportunity in their entire lives.
Sloan had this self-awareness, but... if he could see the angel come to take Bishop Miller away in his lifetime... no, he didn't even need to see it! He just wanted to get to know Bishop Miller!
And now, that opportunity is right in front of us! And it's so close!
As they were about to reach the room he had prepared for Miller and the others, Sloan, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't resist his restless heart and stopped walking abruptly.
The incident happened so suddenly that Miller and Alger stopped immediately because they were following him without looking at him. However, Xu Ling and the others did not stop in time because it was their first time venturing into the rest area of the church staff.
The group bumped into it.
"ah!"
Screams rang out, and Xu Ling and the others rushed towards Alger and Miller in a chaotic frenzy.
A sudden, powerful force struck, the weight of several people, but Alger, standing behind Miller, remained unmoved, as if he hadn't felt the sudden impact behind him.
However... no one saw that tiny cracks were spreading outwards from Alger's silver-white shoes.
