Chapter 202 The Last Female Witch (7)
The clergyman who hurried over came from the widow's village.
He was the priest's right-hand man and actually knew what the widow looked like.
But now the only thing on his mind was "inviting the bishop to the village", and he had no intention of paying attention to who was sitting in the church.
And...how could he have imagined that the crazy witch would appear in such a sacred place as the church?
When Tokiho heard that the priest was on his deathbed, he sighed a little in his heart.
This priest is so weak.
She left some room for him when she took action, thinking that he would be tortured for at least a week, but she didn't expect that he would be unable to bear it after only two days.
Perhaps because he had committed so many sins, even the God he believed in didn't want to save him...
"Okay, please wait here for a moment. I'll go and inform the bishop right away!"
The deacons trotted open the side door and went into the inner room to call for people.
According to the rules of their church, when a believer is dying, the clergy will perform a series of rituals for him or her before death, including anointing, reciting last prayers, etc.
The last rites of ordinary believers are performed by priests, the last rites of priests are performed by bishops of higher rank, and so on.
The bishop was really powerful and knew how to put on airs. After two or three hours, when the sun had already reached the top of his head, it was not until noon that he sent someone out to reply to the priest's assistant who had been waiting for a long time.
"The Bishop is getting ready. Let's prepare the carriage first. We'll be ready to set off soon after."
"Okay, thank you all for your hard work! May God bless you!"
The priest's assistant finally felt a little relieved.
He stood in the aisle, praying continuously to the statue of God the Father on the altar.
They were probably praying that the priest of their village could hold out until the bishop arrived.
After all, the "immediately" mentioned by the deacons is a bit different from what the world understands...
After noon, another 1, 2, 3... hours passed, and the believers in the church changed wave after wave until the sun slipped to the west and the farmers were ready to finish their day's work and pack up their tools to go home. Only then did the bishop, followed by a dozen people, stagger out of the inner room in a gorgeous uniform.
He was not very old, only about 40 years old, but his walking speed was almost the same as a turtle, and he was surrounded by people in front and behind, which was very impressive.
The priest's assistant was going crazy.
The priest has been in a coma since midnight yesterday.
The assistant did not dare to wait even a moment, and drove alone in a carriage at night to invite the bishop, but he wasted so much time in vain at the Santa Cruz Church.
"Your Majesty Bishop!"
The priest's assistant couldn't help but step forward.
But he was ruthlessly pushed away by the bishop's deacons.
"Back off!! How dare you, rude fellow, challenge the Bishop?!"
The priest's assistant fell to the ground and hit the back of his head directly on the armrest of the bench, causing him to hold his head and grit his teeth in pain for a long time.
The bishop didn't care at all and continued to walk along the aisle in the center of the church with a solemn and sacred face.
In his opinion, all this is natural.
Class differences are more important than anything else.
Who is more miserable? The priest's assistant.
In the end, you have to roll up from the ground and follow humbly behind the team.
Shisui almost felt sorry for him.
She sat on the edge of a bench quite close to the church door, quietly watching the funny scene in front of her.
The team slowly approached.
The bishop was arrogant and accepted with a clear conscience the believers in the church standing up, folding their fingers on their chests, and following him with burning gazes.
But in his peripheral vision, he seemed to vaguely see a peasant woman in ordinary clothes, whose behavior was different from the others.
She sat upright in her seat, her hands on her knees, her eyes seemingly wandering elsewhere.
But the bishop was aware of his noble status and had to keep his eyes straight. It was impossible for him to turn his head to look at her, let alone stop.
Surrounded by the deacons, he passed her with a vague question in his mind.
A smile played on Tokiho's lips.
Until more than half of the team had stepped out of the church, the priest's assistant at the end raised his head and met Shisui's eyes.
"……This is--"
The priest's assistant was stunned, thinking the woman in front of him looked so familiar! !
Isn't she the widow who was identified as a witch?? !!
He rubbed his eyes vigorously, suspecting that he had waited too long and was hallucinating!
But Shisui was not afraid, instead she smiled at him provocatively.
"Lord, Your Excellency the Bishop! Please wait a moment!"
The priest's assistant staggered to the front of the team.
Not surprisingly, he was scolded by the deacons again.
But the assistant knelt down, his hands trembling, and pointed in the direction of where Tokiho was sitting, desperately saying, "Your Excellency the Bishop! Witch, that woman is a witch! The one who escaped from our village—"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's heart was in their throat.
The bishop also stopped immediately.
No wonder the woman he saw in the dim light just now was so strange!
Everyone turned their heads away as if they had been electrocuted.
only--
They looked around the place, and all they saw were a few villagers standing there coming and going.
Where's the witch?!
Where's that big witch sitting there just now? !
Disappeared in an instant...? ?
