Evil Dragon: The baby dragon I picked up always wants to be the empress.

Chapter 97 Paladin: I seem to have seen you somewhere
  ???

I originally thought that the heretic was the madman who stole the statue, but I didn't expect that the [heretic] was actually Bishop Franco himself. He could even say that he didn't want the lost Valkyrie statue. It was difficult not to let him, a paladin, Position this bishop as a [heretic].

"Bishop Franco, in front of the portrait of Valkyrie, you are already suspected of blasphemy by saying this."

Fat Bishop Franco gave Paladin Steven a 'you know a ball' look.

Was he blaspheming?

It was the Valkyrie herself who despised the lost statue.

As the bishop of the Valkyrie Temple, what can he do? I can only think of ways to fulfill Valkyrie's wish, and try to keep this portrait of Valkyrie, so that the crazy...ahem...let the devout Valkyrie believer not take away the portrait of Valkyrie.

If you really want to take it away, then take away the previous statue.

Sad.

How could one persuade the devout believer to keep this portrait of the Valkyrie?
  The portrait of the Valkyrie has acquired divinity. As long as the divinity does not disappear, the portrait of the Valkyrie will slowly become a sacred object.

It is possible for him to be invited to be enshrined in the Holy Mountain in the future.

And as a bishop, he might be able to go to the Holy Mountain and become a cardinal of the Holy Mountain.

"Bishop Franco went too far and uttered arrogant words in front of me, the [Paladin]."

"Oh, Brother Lance, you're here. I blamed you wrongly. I didn't expect you to be the most devout believer of Valkyrie. We were rude a few days ago. Let's go to the back hall. Brother, you will be ours from now on. The most distinguished guest of the Valkyrie Temple.
  Come with me, come with me. I specially prepared some delicious fruits to entertain you, oh oh oh, that’s right, I also prepared some delicious dried fruit pulp snacks to entertain this His Highness Xiaolong."

Fat Bishop Franco interrupted Paladin Steven's words, passed him, and walked towards the door of the temple with enthusiasm.

Paladin Steven subconsciously turned around and looked towards the temple door.

He is a good-tempered young man.

He was wearing a light blue robe and a pair of cloth shoes. His long black hair was randomly tied into a ball with a wooden stick stuck in the middle.

Chic, casual and elegant. There is also an indescribable temperament
  Behind the little brother was a timid little amethyst dragon.

The bald little head and big eyes are a bit cute.

"I'm sorry, I'm getting old, so I just remembered to return the statue today."

"???"

Is he the one who stole the statue of Valkyrie from the temple?

His temperament, facial expression, and every move did not look like a blasphemous fanatic at all.

"Return the statue? What statue? Brother Lance, you remembered wrongly. There are no statues lost in our Valkyrie Temple. If Brother Lance invites a statue of the Valkyrie, then keep it. The Valkyrie will bless you."

Return the idol?
  Please leave, what else can you ask for?

The Valkyrie statue is destined to be with you, Lance.

There is nothing wrong with putting it at home and enshrining it.

The fat bishop Franco no longer wanted the little brother Lance in front of him to take away the portrait of the Valkyrie.

"Bishop, Joanna specifically told Lance yesterday not to forget to return the Valkyrie statue. Why are you... today?"

The young dragon was a little dumbfounded. Was it her imagination? Why do you feel like the fat bishop doesn't want the evil dragon to return the statue?

His title has also changed. Before, he was just a fanatic.
  Now he’s Brother Lance
  Speaking of Lance
  The young dragon feels that the evil dragon Lance has more clothes than the clothes in the wardrobe of an aristocratic girl in the imperial capital.
  The first time was a saucy purple suit.

The second time was a white shirt and black suspenders.

Wear big blue pants on divine holidays.
  Today I changed into a light blue [Taoist robe] when I went out, and my short hair turned into long hair.

The evil dragon wearing [Taoist robe] looks more refreshing.

The evil dragon also said that when she can become a human, she can be a [little Taoist nun].

Weird name.

Taoist robe.

Little Taoist nun.

Little Taoist Princess?
  It feels weird but it seems to be quite interesting.
  Lance was completely defeated by the fat bishop Franco.

They say that if you borrow something, you must repay it. It is not difficult to borrow again.
  Is it difficult for him to repay the borrowed money?
  The problem is that he is a black dragon, so why would he put a statue of Valkyrie at home?
  If there is a statue of a god, it is also a statue of the God of Wealth.
  Valkyrie statue?
  He shouldn't be his patron, even if he doesn't want this Valkyrie statue.

"Bishop, it would be rude to borrow the statue without your permission. If you don't return it, I'm afraid the Valkyrie will impose divine punishment."

"No, no, the Valkyrie likes the portrait of the god painted by Brother Lance very much. To be honest, Brother Lance, I am going to enshrine the portrait of the Valkyrie that you gave us as a statue. As for you asking to take away the statue, Brother Lance, just keep it.

Our Lionheart City Valkyrie Temple is willing to make Brother Lance a friend. I would also like to invite you to become the cleric painter of our Valkyrie Temple in Lionheart City. "Franco thought it would be better to be more honest. The little brother Lance in front of him didn't look like that stubborn old guy who thinks highly of himself.

His temperament is ever-changing, and you can tell at a glance that he is no ordinary person.

Very casual and chic.

Please leave as soon as the Valkyrie statue says please.

After taking away the statue of Valkyrie, nothing happened.

What does this mean?
  It shows that Valkyrie does not intend to pursue Brother Lance's blasphemous behavior.

Valkyrie had no intention of pursuing him, and he, a little bishop, had no need to speak harshly to Brother Lance for the sake of so-called [face].

He wants Brother Lance to know that the clergy of the temple are all kind and kind.
  To highlight this, he put on an extremely kind face.

When mentioning Bishop Franco of Valkyrie Temple in Lionheart City, everyone has to give a thumbs up and praise him. He is an amiable and good bishop who does not dislike poverty and loves wealth.

Lance understood.

My feelings fell in love with the portrait he drew of Valkyrie. In order to keep this portrait of Valkyrie, I didn't want him to return the statue.

"The statue must be returned. As for the portrait of Valkyrie, it is my gift to Sophia and I will not take it back."

Lance took out the shrunken Valkyrie statue from the diamond circle, walked to the portrait of Valkyrie, and placed the Valkyrie statue under the portrait.

Sophia is the Valkyrie, and the Valkyrie is Sophia. She is not Sophia either.

"Sophia, you don't have to pay back the money, but you have to bless my dragon cub to be like you. Wrong, you want my dragon cub to be as brave as the Valkyrie when it grows up."

Even if you are as brave as Sophia, she died so tragically, being brave is enough.
  It just didn't end well.

"Brother, is it a bit too much to say to pay back the money to the Valkyrie statue?"

Paladin Steven came to Lance's side. As a paladin of the Valkyrie Temple, his duty is to protect the temple and the Valkyrie.

"you are?"

"Paladin of the Valkyrie Temple: Steven. Brother, come with me to the Valkyrie Temple in the royal capital."

"???"

Fat Bishop Franco heard what Steven said and trotted to Steven's side, "Steven, Brother Lance is the clerical painter of my Valkyrie Temple in Lionheart City. You have to bring him to the royal capital." During the trial, you didn’t even ask if I agreed or not?”

"Judgment?" Steven wondered: "What does my little brother, Judgment, do? I want to invite him to the Royal Capital Temple to draw a portrait of the Valkyrie.

If you don't want me to take away my little brother, then you can let me take away the portrait of Valkyrie. The Valkyrie statue is back, just continue to worship Bishop Franco. The Valkyrie will not blame you. "

"."

I invite you here to see the baby, not to snatch it.

Damn it, even the Valkyrie portrait in the temple wants to be taken away, dreaming.

"Baby, you have seen it. If nothing happens, you can go back to the capital. I will reimburse you for the round trip expenses. Come back quickly..."

"???"

Driving him away without even drinking a sip of water?
  Can you show some respect to him as a paladin?
  Is it wrong to invite a portrait of a Valkyrie with such a strong divinity to the royal capital?
  This portrait of the Valkyrie has the potential to become a [holy object].

The bishops and knights of any temple would be jealous when they saw it.

He was not allowed to invite this young man named Lance to the Royal Capital Temple as a guest.

Then let him take away the portrait of Valkyrie.

"Bishop Franco, it is better to keep the sacred objects in a stronger temple. After all, you have been asked to walk past the statue once."

"roll."

Don't think that because you are a Paladin, I won't dare to scold you.
  Do you believe that I will fight with you to steal the sacred objects from my temple?

"Why are you so impatient? You need to cultivate your mind, Bishop Franco"

Smiling and teasing Franco, Steven looked at Lance. He didn't think so just now. Now that he took a closer look, this little Lance guy seemed a little familiar.

"Brother Lance, I seem to have seen you in the royal capital, but I can't remember where I saw you in the royal capital for a while."

　ps: Thank you for the [1500] coins you gave me when I loved you.

　　Thanks to Shuguangyin Laoge for the [100] point coin reward.
