What kind of weird button is this?

Chapter 143 There is no truth you want here

"Here we are, Father, please do as you please."

"Thank you."

It can be heard that the groom's tone is much stranger than before, and there is not much respect for him in his words, but gradually he is disdainful.

It may be because the other party did not recognize his identity, or it may be that people like him are not worthy of respect in the eyes of the other party. In short, when Thorne got out of the car and arrived at the gate of Anka City, he felt that he had endured a lot of pain during the second half of the journey. Too much cold violence.

But what surprised him was that the city in front of him seemed a little different from what he expected.

He did learn from the immigrants how serious the disaster was in Anka, but he couldn't confirm whether these people were exaggerating. After all, the city in front of him did not look very dilapidated.

At the city gate, a group of workers were busy repairing the city wall. Their hands were covered with dust and dirt, but their faces were filled with hope and determination. This vibrant look made him, an outsider, feel that the city was coming to life again.

Although Thorne was questioned by some guards when he entered the city gate, he quickly entered the city with a legal identity after proving his identity.

The first thing you can see are the temporary shacks and shops that have been set up on both sides of the street. Although it is still relatively simple, it is sufficient for daily life in the city.

In the market area, vendors have re-set up stalls. Of course, these people cannot survive without setting up stalls. They can only ensure the normal operation of the city by selling food, clothing and daily necessities.

Several children were chasing and playing in the streets, and their laughter was like the spring sunshine, dispelling the haze left by the disaster. Sometimes Thorn also wonders whether it is the laughter of these children that brings vitality to the city, or whether it is the vitality of the city itself that allows the children to laugh like this.

The reconstruction work was not only reflected in these material aspects, but the church in Anka also provided spiritual support to the residents. Some clergy and volunteers from other places organize charity activities on the streets to help those most in need.

And these people who maintain the activities are also the main purpose of Thorne coming to Anka.

"Sir, do you need help?"

"No, I want to find your bishop, do you think that's okay?" Thorne lined up and came to the front row, and explained to the man in front of him who smiled kindly at him.

The other party also immediately discovered that the clothes Thorne was wearing were not the clothes that ordinary people should wear, but the clothes that people who were also members of the Light Church would wear.

But this style of clothing does not look like the style here in Xilin, but more like another country across the sea.

"you are?"

"I am the auxiliary bishop of the Diocese of Fira, the capital of the Chester Empire. My name is Thorne."

Because he knew in advance that using the excuse of coming to help would be very offensive, Thorne did not continue to use this excuse this time, "I have some important matters involving two countries that need to be discussed with the bishop of Anka face to face. , if possible, I would like to ask you to help me ask your bishop if he has this intention."

"This……"

The man looked at Thorne's attitude very seriously, and his words seemed not to be a trivial matter, and he felt troubled for a moment.

However, it was obvious that taking Thorne to find Bishop Calvin was the most appropriate choice, so after explaining a few words to the people around him, the man nodded towards Thorne and took him out of the market area.

Along the way, Thorne was still observing the reconstruction of Anka, and the man also showed a look of helplessness after seeing his actions.

"You may not know what happened here before, but it's actually pretty good to be like this now."

"No, I heard about it. I'm sorry about Anka."

"It's okay. This has nothing to do with you people from the Chester Empire. This is all caused by our own people." "..."

Thorne did not speak. He just followed the man, thinking about what he should ask after meeting the bishop of Anka later.

But when he came to the church, he was stunned by the tragic situation in the church.

After seeing the almost half-hollowed church area in front of him and the almost completely collapsed buildings, Thorne realized that the rumors he had heard were not false.

Even the scene before him was much more serious than he imagined.

"Your Majesty the Bishop..."

While Thorne was standing there waiting, the man also took the initiative to run over and talk to Calvin. However, when he passed Jim next to Calvin, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of fear in his eyes.

Thorne didn't know what happened here. He only knew that his request to talk alone was quickly agreed to.

The first time he met Calvin, he subconsciously felt that the old man in front of him was a trustworthy person, which also made him treat Calvin with a respectful attitude and tone at all times in the subsequent conversations.

"Are you the Bishop of Ankh, Mr. Calvin?"

"Yes, Mr. Thorne." Calvin smiled and nodded, using the silent interval to signal Thorne to ask the question he wanted to ask.

"Is such that.

I came here today mainly to ask what is the truth behind the disaster that happened in Anka? "

When he heard this question, Calvin's heart suddenly shook, but on the surface he did not show any surprised reaction.

"The truth? The truth is that Sirius betrayed everyone. This is the truth."

It was impossible for Calvin to tell the truth to a stranger at this time. He could not let Sirius's efforts go in vain. It was because of Sirius's self-sacrifice that Anka achieved true Nirvana and rebirth. He could not let himself see Sirius in the future. There was more guilt in my heart when I saw Lord Rees.

"But the question is, does Sirius really have that ability? And...should he really be regarded as a real sinner?"

"What do you mean?"

"Master Bishop, you don't need to be so wary of me." Thorne smiled, with a very easy-going expression on his face, "I just want to help you. I can feel that you are hiding something. Maybe you also think in your heart, Sirius wasn't really the one behind what Ankh became like this."

"...You are thinking too much. There are so many hidden truths in this world. Also, if your purpose of coming here is just to clean up the sinners, then please leave."

"What if I told you that Sirius might have come to my city?"

"..."

"As the bishop of Anka Light Church, I don't think you will see a new region fall into a new crisis because of Sirius's existence, right?

And in just one week, descendants of noble families were brutally murdered in Fira.

Mr. Calvin, if you know something, I beg you to tell me the truth as you know it, okay? "
