She Is Not a Witch Chapter 121: Outing in Midsummer
The headquarters of the Knights of the Paladin.
Otis sits at the top of the Hall of Knights. At the bottom, there are two rows of knight commanders in armor. Almost all of these people are in Sequence 7, and they are also the captains of the thousand-man team in the Knights.
A knight in a white cloak walked into the hall, and after a brief salute, he began to report on the latest situation.
"According to the reports of the various teams dispatched, the knights who lost contact in those abnormal churches have basically been sacrificed."
He paused for a while, let everyone in the hall digest the unexpected news, and then continued the narrative.
"Most of the church personnel in these abnormal churches have fallen, and they have taken refuge in an unknown organization. At present, the Cavaliers have cleaned up these fallen personnel."
"Have you caught the upper-level boss? This is not something a small organization can do." Odis put his hand on his cheek, his voice calm.
"Not for the time being. These people don't seem to be afraid of death. They are also very crazy. After the killing, the clues are broken."
"Oh, what about the adjudication division? I heard that they seem to have gained a lot recently."
"The Adjudication Division...we do not have the authority to inquire, but judging from the dispatch of its personnel, they should have gained something."
"I see, you can go down first."
After the white-robed knight went down, Odis spoke slowly.
"Recently the pope election is approaching, but there have been many unseen unrest in the sanctuary. This is not a good sign. It is foreseeable that they will make greater moves."
"As the church's most important and backbone fighting force, we have to be more careful."
After he finished talking about some matters needing attention, he discussed the recent internal affairs with the knight commanders present before the meeting adjourned.
After everyone in the hall was almost gone, the leader stood up.
"Farella, is there anything wrong with you?" He looked at the only knight commander left.
"Yes, my lord, I want to discuss something with you alone."
Odis looked at the brown-haired knight for a while, then walked down the steps, "Come with me."
"Yes, my lord."
The two walked one after the other in the corridor of the fortress on the mountain, nodded to a knight who was standing there, and then slowly came to an observation platform, which was empty and a little remote.
"What's the matter?" The two have known each other for many years, Otis said casually.
"Yes." Farreira placed her hand on the dark blue stone brick, looked at the sparse buildings below and on the opposite side, and then asked.
"Are you going to run for Pope, Odis."
"Prepare to run, and prepare to fail." Odis said so, the wind blew across his face, and his thick beard quivered slightly.
"Actually, I still support you." Farreira's voice came from the side.
"Interesting, because I am the commander of the Knights?"
"Yes, but there are other reasons."
"Talk about it."
"Sibes was too utilitarian. Although he was good when he was young, he has gradually changed. Beines is good, but his temperament is not strong enough. Sometimes it is too soft to be reassuring."
"It sounds reasonable, what about Charente, who was a big man when I first joined the church."
"His Royal Highness Charente is impeccable in character and strength, but he is almost undesirable and has no intention of changing anything. If he becomes the pope, it means that there is no pope in the sanctuary." Farrera said. Turned around.
"I can see that Master Odis has further ideas and determination to change, but you sometimes abide by your own rules too much and it is inconvenient to take action."
"I am willing to wave the flag and shout for you, I only hope that when you win, you will get a little glory."
"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be so ambitious, Ferreira." Otis patted his hand on the crevice of the city wall, and the metal armor on his body made a slight crash.
"But, how should I trust you." His voice was suddenly serious, and his deep blue eyes looked at the man in front of him like ice.
"You just have to wait, and good news will come in three days."
Fari stretched out his right arm, clenched into a fist, and slammed into the armor on his left shoulder, making a sound of metal collision.

The Palace of Ten Swords, the Inner Palace of Flowing Water.
The clear mountain springs flowed down from the top of the courtyard and fell into the pool in the middle, splashing water and bringing a pleasant sound, and the heat of midsummer was dissipated for most of this, and the interior became cooler.
An old man with a kind and blessed face is sitting on a bench by the pool, and a young nun next to him is feeding him cut fruits.
A guard in gold armor walked into the courtyard to report.
"Master Sibis, a bishop from the south has asked to see you."
"Oh, what's his name." Sibes leaned on the bench, shaped like a large winter melon.
"His name is Pickpin, and he is said to be the bishop of Verga Greenport."
"It seems a bit familiar." Sibes chewed on crisp melon slices.
"He is your descendant when you were in Lam Ye Palace. He went to the south to be a pastor more than ten years ago, and he was gradually promoted to bishop." said an attendant next to him.
"Well, let him in, I probably know what he came from." Sibes slowly swallowed the food in his mouth, and sat upright with the support of the waiter on the side.
"Yes, Sir Sibis." The golden armor guard stood up and walked out of the palace.
Not long after, a slightly thin, white-robed bishop with a goatee walked into the palace, with two young priests behind him.
"It's been a long time, Pickpin, it's been hard for you these years." Sibes said, preparing to stand up to meet him, and the attendants on both sides are also ready to help him up.
"No need, no need for Sir Sibis to be so kind."
Pike waved his hand flatly and pressed forward to stop Sibes' movement, and then the two began a polite conversation. Recalling each other's years in the Lam Ye Palace, as if that was the most precious memory of the two.
When talking about some touching things in the past, the eyes of the two of them were still slightly red, and a few drops of ‘sincere’ tears shed. At this moment, the two also sat together unknowingly.
Sibes's fat and broad palms slowly patted Piquepin’s shoulders, and exclaimed: "I really miss that time, when we were so young and we had our own dreams."
"Yes." Pickpin also sighed, then continued.
"It's a pity that more than 20 years have passed, and now the body is slowly aging, and there are many things that I can't do but I don't have enough energy."
He paused for a while before continuing to speak.
"I came here this time because I feel that I don’t have much time. I want to meet my old friends and arrange funeral arrangements. Come on, boy, let me introduce you to you." He waved and will follow him in. A young pastor called over.
"This is Lord Sibis, now the priest of the scepter of the Palace of Ten Swords, a respectable and trustworthy elder."
"Sir Sibis is good..." He nodded solemnly, and then introduced himself.
"I adopted this child over there, and I have placed a lot of expectations on him." Picking said.
Sibes squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them slightly, and found that their faces were somewhat similar, so they also showed a faint smile on their faces.
"Good boy, good boy."
He reached out his hand and touched the young man's head.
"Don't worry, I will remember this kid. Lusa go to my cabinet and take the pendant over, as a gift for an old friend." He raised his hand and ordered.
"Yes, Sir Sibis." The nun walked away quickly and came to Sibis's bedroom. She opened the bedside cabinet to reveal the mixed golden necklaces and pendants, which she took from them. One, after a little inspection, I found a small box and packed it, then held it out.
After seeing the nun came back, Sibes took the box, pressed the button on it, and popped out the golden pendant with a faint brilliance.
"This is a gadget I made in my free time recently. It is probably of silver-grade quality, and it is also a little bit of my heart. I will give it to you." He handed the pendant over.
"This...this, don’t have to, this is what you took your time to do, how can you give it away so easily." After picking up a few times, he asked the young priest beside him to take it. I took this pendant and put it on my chest on the spot.
"This is fine, this is fine." Sibes said a few words with a smile, which moved the young pastor.
"Let’s not sit down anymore, it’s almost time for dinner on our side."
"This is unnecessary. Although I am an old friend, I can't bother you forever, Sir Sibes." Picking stood up, said a few more polite words, and then took the two young priests to say goodbye.
"Let's do this, come to me if you have any difficulties in the future, old man." The two hugged again before they slowly separated.
After , the three of them slowly left the palace in Sibis’s smiling eyes.
After a while, Sibes looked at the clear water in front of him and asked, "Are they gone?"
An attendant walked out quickly, and then came back, whispering: "My lord, they are gone."
"Yeah." Sibes nodded, his face becoming a little cold.
"Help me get up and take a shower, then clean up here."
"Yes, my lord."
After finished speaking, two attendants slowly helped the big belly Bishop Sibis to the back of the palace.

Since I met Bines, Lorrain Hill has received a lot of attention these days. After all, the scene where she was eating with the church giant that day was seen by many nuns.
Afterwards, everyone slowly inquired, only to realize that this seemingly young silver-haired nun had such an extraordinary origin. Not only the top student of Emenas, but also the chief of the academy, once led the academy to win the championship of breaking the army.
Many people are talking about this girl for a while.
"Has Rosie changed her clothes?" Outside the bedroom door, two girls waited.
"It's almost done, wait a minute." A sweet, light voice came from the room.
Lorraine Hill looked at the several clothes on the bed, hesitated, and finally chose a black dress with the main color, but the skirt and cuffs had a little white fold pattern.
is still a bit simpler, she thought about taking off her nun's gown and put on this black dress.
Today is the day of the classmates gathering. They have already taken time off and are going to go out in the afternoon and evening to visit the scenic spots on the Lower Holy Mountain.
At this time, it’s a bit inappropriate to wear clothes for work, so Lorrain Hill will change clothes here.
The door creaked open, and Lorrain Hill, wearing light green sandals, a black dress, and a ponytail, appeared in front of them.
"Wow."
"It's so beautiful, Rocheer."
Jelika gave a thumbs up, and then a few people left the small courtyard and walked towards the mountain road on the side.
Jelika wore a trousers shirt with blond hair tied into a ponytail, while Boli wore a white and pink summer dress. The three girls walked on the path together, talking as they walked.
"Let’s go to the Shanxiang Palace first. Heisen and other boys will wait for us over there. The buildings and statues there are very good, you can take a look, and then go to the Sacred Song Palace to listen to the choir singing, and then go Watch the sunset blowing, and finally go to the Holy Flame Palace. There are several restaurants over there for tourists and church personnel to go, and the flavors are richer."
Jelika talked about today's arrangements, and then the few people accelerated their pace a bit.
After half an hour, the mountain elephant palace.
The white jade is carved with exquisite human-shaped statues, which are placed in a flowerbed not far from the road for visitors and church personnel to admire. Several people walked up the stone stairs.
After turning several turns, a spacious platform gradually appeared in the vision of the three of them. As they approached, they gradually heard a few familiar conversations. It was a student from Emenas.
"It's so hot, why aren't those girls here yet."
The sun shines on the white square, and the trees around are screaming cicadas.
"It should be coming soon, Jerica and Roche are still on time."
When several people said, the three girls finally appeared on the side of the square.
"Huh, here I am, brothers!" Jelica waved and jumped up.
"Hey, it's coming." The four came over, and they got a little tan after months of not seeing this.
"Would you like to drink some water first?" Heisen walked ahead~IndoMTL.com~ At this moment, he is still wearing a large white priest's robe, and seems to have just finished his work.
"Let's have some, I have to go play afterwards." Jelika expressed her need, and the seven people walked to the side of the shade of the tree.
Opening a deep well suppressed by a huge rock, Haisen pulled up a wooden barrel from it, and placed several glass bottles in it.
"Isn't it sure that the inside is wine?" Bori asked curiously.
"Of course not, it's just clean water, but it will cooler if you put it inside." Haisen handed over a few bottles, and then took out a few more cups.
So 7 people sat in the shade of a tree and had a drink.
They talked about the recent situation. Some complained, some complained, and some laughed at each other and laughed.
"There are so many provisions and rules to be recited in the Palace of Ten Swords." The crow leaned back on the tree, raised one foot and stepped on the bark, and said slowly.
"Huh, you just need to endorse, but we have recently added a lot of training content." Jelika put down the cup, sat on the stone chair and stretched her legs, and then stretched again.
"I went to bed at night, and my body was sour."
"Why don't I help you massage it." Boli volunteered when she heard it.
"Okay, okay, thank you very much, sister Boli."
"Sister Boli, I want too." Several boys also booed at this time.
"Forget it, you guys." Jelika shook her finger to suppress their delusions.
After drinking some water, Lorrain Hill also put down the cup and sat under the tree, slightly in a daze, feeling the rare tranquility in the past few months.
