Father Mavie

Chapter 172 Kasim's Surrender (Please Subscribe!!!)
At night, the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate, the restaurant.

The lit white wax illuminated the quiet room. On the round dining table covered with white cloth, there were four old people sitting around. They lowered their heads and silently tasted the food on the plate. It was a roast goose just out of the oven. , the fat foie gras is fried with butter, and the greasy aroma wafts in the nose.

The knife and fork jingled when they came into contact with the bottom of the plate. After taking a few bites, the old man sitting on the left suddenly picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth. He picked up a wine glass full of red liquid, took a sip, and asked hoarsely: " Fowler, are you really going to take revenge on the Church of Truth?"

"That's why I invited you here."

Fowler stuffed a piece of goose covered in applesauce into his mouth and chewed hard, "Father Mavi messed up Evelyn's wedding, made the Church of the Three Fates a joke in other people's mouths, and used tricks to kill her." Satuk. Of course I have to give something in return."

"Your mind is disturbed." Another old man said softly: "In this case, it is easy to fall into a misunderstanding, and it is also easy to fall into the trap."

"I am not sleeply."

"Not always."

The fourth old man sneered, "Not only did you invite us to come, but you also asked us to bring the saintesses from our respective parishes. You intend to completely destroy the Church of Truth."

Bishop Fowler did not speak, and continued to eat roast goose.

"This is not the same plan as the Archbishop and the others."

Boom!
Bishop Fowler slammed his fist on the table, and the cups and plates were clinking. He gritted his teeth and said: "You don't understand the situation at all, you don't understand the Church of Truth! You must not let them leave the Kingdom of Windsor! Once you let them out of our control , just like a live fish entering the water, or a loach entering the hole, you can't catch it anymore!"

"Sooner or later."

"They will become our great enemy!"

"So you think the Archbishop's judgment was wrong?"

"...No, the Archbishop's judgment is of course correct, but it is based on the high-level foundation. If they know the situation of the Church of Truth and have contacted Father Mawei, they will definitely kill the roots in advance instead of letting them leave the Kingdom of Windsor!"

Although he replied in the affirmative in his heart, Bishop Fowler still did not admit it. He repeatedly emphasized the horror of the Church of Truth, but...
The three bishops next to him remained silent.

It's no secret that there is competition between bishops in different dioceses, especially bishops who believe in different goddesses. When the Pope dies, a new archbishop will definitely become pope. At that time, which bishop will not covet the position of archbishop?
This is probably their only chance!

Everyone wants to make meritorious deeds, but no one dares to make mistakes.

Mistakes are more terrible than meritorious deeds!
"Have you asked the goddess of health, Wilde, for instructions?"

"I asked for instructions." Bishop Fowler said with a gloomy expression, "The goddess only responded to me with one sentence, follow fate."

fate
What an ambiguous vocabulary?
What is destiny?

No one knows what fate is, maybe the current confusion is fate, or maybe their next decision is fate.

"You are not sure what the goddess means, so you plan to execute your own judgment?" The old man on the left shook his head slowly: "Fowler, if you let Archbishop Ubli know about this, you will definitely be punished."

"I trust my own judgment."

"But you didn't understand the situation at all." The old man on the left said again: "If you choose to let it go and let the Church of Truth go, then you have no merits and no faults, and no one can say anything about you. Take a step back and talk about it." , even if you eradicate the Church of Truth, what do you get? Punishment!"

"on the contrary."

"If you turn a blind eye to the Church of Truth and just report your judgment to them, and when the Church of Truth develops in the future and become our enemy, you will definitely attract the attention of Archbishop Ubuli with your forward-looking vision! You should do it!"

It may be a wise decision to eradicate the Church of Truth before it develops, but that will not be of any benefit to Bishop Fowler.

Because no one knows what fate is, and no one is sure whether the Church of Truth can develop.

If he does nothing but put forward his own opinions and hand over the right to choose to the higher-ups, Bishop Fowler has done nothing wrong and should be rewarded, and if his opinions come true, he will be able to soar into the sky and rise to the top!

Becoming an archbishop is not a dream!

"That's right." Bishop Fowler laughed at himself, his eyes gradually turning cold: "Maybe I should do this, but have you ever thought about how the establishment of such a big enemy will have a bad impact on the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny? If My choice today, if I can use some meager price to eradicate the enemy in the future, that would be great, and this is exactly what I want to do!"

"This is the fate that Goddess Wilde said." An old man smiled lowly: "You are in fate, the pawn destined to fall, Fowler."

"My strength alone is limited. Just in case, I invite you to come and help me." Bishop Fowler said: "In return, you can get my friendship. If you need it in the future, I will do my best." Help."

"It seems that you are really stunned."

Just as the old man on the left was about to continue speaking, he suddenly heard the door of the dining room open. In the darkness, a priest in black hurried in, ran to Bishop Fowler, bent down and said something.

Bishop Fowler, who was tasting the red wine, paused his palm, turned his head to look at the servant of God, and narrowed his eyes: "Where is he?"

Servant Ernest said quickly: "I have arranged him in the secret room."

"very good."

Putting down his glass, Bishop Fowler immediately stood up and said to the old people: "Three, let's go and have a look together. A young man named Kasim Cecil came to the door and said that he had important information about the Church of Truth. report"

The three old men looked at each other with interest, put down their knives and forks, tore off the napkin around their necks, and followed Bishop Fowler to the secret room at the deepest level on the first floor.

The light in the secret room was dim, and a young man in a red shirt military uniform was sitting at the table, staring at the candlelight, with an uneasy expression on his face.

Seeing someone entering the secret room, he stood up abruptly, knelt down in front of Bishop Fowler, and said in fear, "Cassem Cecil, I have seen the bishop."

Bishop Fowler walked to the table and sat down. Together with the other three old people, he looked at Kassim with cloudy eyes, and after a while he said slowly, "Kassim, what do you want from me?"

Kasim raised his head, glanced at the three old men beside him, and said nothing.

"They can all be trusted, don't care, just say it."

"Yes."

After organizing the language, Kasim took out a list and handed it to Ernest next to him, and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, please have a look."

After receiving the list from Ernest, Bishop Fowler casually glanced at it, his eyelids twitching.

The names on the list are extremely familiar, especially the first few, who are all believers in the Church of Truth. Bishop Fowler has already sent someone to find out about this.

He pretended to be confused and asked, "What is this?"

"The list of believers of the Church of Truth." Kasim said: "This is a real list, which is different from the list submitted by Mavi Enders to the Bureau of Religious Affairs, which is a fake list."

"Oh? Why did he submit a fake list? Could it be that he wanted to cheat for a monthly subsidy of 50 gold pounds?"

Kassim took a deep look at Bishop Fowler, got up and left.

Ernest quickly stopped him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Kasim, don't be angry, the bishop is just joking with you."

"If you treat the Church of Truth with this attitude, I don't think there is much to say."

"Kasim"

Then Bishop Fowler said, "Since you came here with sincerity, let's have an open and honest talk. Please sit down."

After Kassim took his seat, Bishop Fowler asked again, "What do you know?"

"Half a month ago, a god descended from the Church of Truth."

According to the plan that had been rehearsed in advance, Kasim quickly replied: "It's just like your church."

"Well, how are you sure that a god has descended from the Church of Truth?" Bishop Fowler looked at him with a smile.

"Mavi Enders received an oracle."

"Oracle." Bishop Fowler nodded slowly, exchanged glances with the three old men beside him, and asked cryptically, "And then?"

"Then?"

As if offended by something, Kasim suddenly became angry: "Bishop Fowler, is your so-called openness here just to test whether I am sincere? Well, let me tell you, Mavie Enders has already seen through Your scheme, what is the "New Religion Law", is just a means to restrain the small church! The number of believers determines the power of the gods. You ask for the list of believers to dig out their roots, and judge whether the small church has a god descending based on the authenticity of the list. right?"

"I know everything you want to know, but it's really unreasonable for you to treat me like this!"

As he said that, Kassim was about to leave resolutely. This time, without waiting for Ernest to stop him, Bishop Fowler stood up himself, pressed Kassim's shoulders, and said in a gentle tone: "Son, it's not that I don't believe You, but you have many doubts, after all, your mother is the most loyal believer of Father Mawei, how can I not doubt it?"

"I'm here for my mother!"

Kasim poked his neck and said, "She didn't know she went astray. I really have no choice!"

"Misguided. Why do you say astray?"

"Because there are millions of believers in the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate!" Kasim suddenly raised his voice: "This is a well-known fact! If the power of a god is determined by the number of believers, there are only a few hundred believers How can the Church of Truth be compared with the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate? This is not an opponent of the same level at all!"

"This is a sensible person." The old man with scars on his face suddenly laughed: "The strength of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate is indeed going to crush the Church of Truth."

"It's fine if it's just like this, but Mawei Enders actually wants to abandon the believers and flee to the Kingdom of Romanov! He also asked my mother to take care of the church chores after he left. Isn't this pushing my mother into the fire pit? !” Kasim said convincingly: “My mother didn’t know what kind of ecstasy soup he had poured into her, and she followed him unswervingly, but I can’t just watch!”

Bishop Fowler nodded, pulled Kasim to sit down, and asked, "So you want to betray Father Mawei to protect your mother from harm in future battles?"

"Yes." Kasim said dejectedly, "I'd rather break my knight's oath than my mother be hurt."

A filial son who betrayed his faith in order to protect his mother?
This is not uncommon, and even reasonable.

not to mention.
Ernest also handed a document to Bishop Fowler.

"So you are the servant of Knight Steele Ritter." Bishop Fowler suddenly realized, and handed the information to the other three old people.

Who is Steele Ritter?

Lieutenant Rosslare!

What happened in the Rosslare Army not long ago may be a secret to others, but Kasim, one of the soldiers, is definitely an insider.

It just so happens that the Rosslare army is under the control of the fourth prince Arthur, and is an ally of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny
Thinking about it this way, Kasim's situation is indeed extremely embarrassing.

His loyal knight became an enemy overnight, and his mother was also abandoned. Under such circumstances, who can stick to their faith?
It's time to turn against each other!

"Son, I understand everything."

After reading the information, Bishop Fowler smiled even wider: "What information can you provide me?"

"Mavi Enders intends to leave the Kingdom of Windsor by boat from the port of New Ross tomorrow night, and go to the Kingdom of Romanov. I don't know whether he will transfer from sea to land or directly by boat. I was not there when they discussed the route, but the time of departure It must be tomorrow night." Kasim said firmly.

"Tomorrow night, well, I see, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"Actually...Actually." Kasim gritted his teeth, as if he had made a decision: "Actually, Mavi Enders wanted me to be a spy, to penetrate into the church of the Three Fate Goddesses, and provide them with a steady stream of information .”

"Oh?" Bishop Fowler raised his brows, "It's a good idea, but based on what I know about Father Marvie, he won't entrust such an important task to someone who can't be fully trusted."

"You still don't believe me."

Kassim suddenly drew out his long sword and pointed it at Bishop Fowler. Immediately under his squinting eyes, the blade turned and plunged into his chest.

puff!
The long sword pierced through the heart, and blood spewed out immediately. Kasim's face turned pale, and his eyes were full of anger: "Now do you believe it?!"

The eyes of Bishop Fowler and the four were slightly moved. Before they could speak, Kasim fell to the ground with a plop. In the slowly spreading pool of blood, he grabbed the hem of Bishop Fowler's white robe, and his bruised lips squirmed: "If...if The information I provided is correct, please spare my mother."

With his arm hanging down weakly, Bishop Fowler watched Kasim's gradually losing vitality, and suddenly sighed, the gold ring worn on his middle finger faintly lit up.

The main god of magic, the realm of immortality!
The wound healed quickly, and the crazily growing muscles accompanied by a powerful beating heart squeezed out the long sword inserted into the body. Bishop Fowler helped Kassim, and whispered under the other's unbelievable eyes: "Good boy, you have already You have proved your honesty with practical actions, now you and Ernest can change into clean clothes, and then go back, I will properly consider your mother's matter."

After Kassim left, the door of the secret room was closed, and an old man said, "Do you think he is trustworthy?"

"To bet your life is either an extremely decisive and brave child, or a desperate coward."

Rubbing the golden ring, Bishop Fowler murmured, "No matter what it is, we should give him a chance, otherwise, who will dare to surrender to us in the future?"

"What's more."

"If he is sincere, then we will make a lot of money."
