The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 121: Bishop’s Responsibilities
"Let me be the Bishop of Roseburg?"
When Annan heard this, his eyes widened in surprise: "Are you a bishop?"
Although he did think that Bishop Daryl should give him some benefits.
But he didn’t expect that the fat bald man would give up his position directly...
Soon, Annan realized something.
He slowed down and asked softly: "What about you?"
"Of course I want to return to the Royal Capital. Originally, I am not from Beihai. The climate here is too humid and cold for me, an old man."
Daryl shrugged, took out his pocket watch and checked the time. He raised his head again and looked at Annan eagerly: "How about it, Lord Lord?
"You just need to name it, you don't have to really change your beliefs - Sir Silver does not insist on such ritualistic things, as long as it is good for the development of the church, it is enough. And the relationship between Sir Silver and the cold-blooded lady There is no conflict between beliefs."
"Well..."
Annan pondered.
He thought for a moment, stretched out, stood up, put on his clothes and put on his coat.
He opened the window of the room, and the cold air rushed in. The air in the bedroom could wake up his brain.
Annan squinted his eyes and took a few deep breaths of cold wind.
He turned back and looked at Bishop Daryl again, who was waiting for an answer.
There was no trace of sleepiness in his eyes, and he became calm and indifferent again.
Annan pointed to the stool next to the tea table in the bedroom and motioned for Bishop Daryl to sit down.
"Please take a seat...Mr. Bishop."
He said respectfully, and then walked to the door: "I'll make you a cup of tea."
At this time, Annan did not choose a more affectionate name, but adopted a business-like attitude.
Afterwards, Annan temporarily left his bedroom.
He walked on the road, thinking to himself.
Annan saw clearly.
Although it is possible that most of the reasons for this invitation are because he obtained the Holy Light Seal from Sir Silver.
——But there is indeed a hint of temptation hidden in Bishop Daryl’s words.
His invitation is actually divided into two parts.
One is "named in Sir Silver's church", while the other is "serving as a district bishop in the North Sea Territory".
That’s it for the previous one.
But "Annan Winter" will not accept the latter one at the same time.
Because he is the only heir to the Grand Duke of Cold Winter and the future Grand Duke.
It is impossible for him to hold such a high position in the church of a neighboring country—or even an enemy country.
This will definitely make the people in Winter doubt Annan's decision-making. It will become an excuse for others to attack Annan... and even become the motivation for the political action of the grandmother's priests in the Principality of Winter to decide to leave the Grand Duke's camp and at the same time begin to weaken the Grand Duke's authority.
Of course there are benefits.
The biggest advantage is that he can get the strong support of Sir Silver and the protection of the entire church.
No one dares to attack a righteous bishop, let alone a district bishop who is half a level higher than the bishop.
After all, he is different from the nobles.
If a noble is successfully assassinated, other nobles may jointly issue a wanted notice and then start to attack the victim's family. After all, their interests far outweigh their responsibilities.
The church is different.
All priests of the True God have the common responsibility of purifying nightmares.
Any priest who dies outside the nightmare is a huge waste of resources.
Because not everyone has the talent to become a priest.
If someone kills a priest, it is equivalent to the other priests suddenly being asked to work overtime at short notice: to complete the work of your colleague who burped, and they cannot leave until they finish.
There is no doubt that this will attract the hatred of all clergy.
——We are busy, what are you causing trouble?
So even if they don’t know each other, they are not even priests who believe in the same god. But once it is heard that someone in his diocese has killed a righteous priest, the bishop of this diocese will also find a way to find out the murderer, kill him directly or transfer him to the diocese where the incident occurred.
The responsibilities of bishops are even heavier than those of priests.
Their mission is to regularly clean up nightmares above the Silver level in the parish to prevent ordinary people and innocent extraordinary people from straying into nightmares.
In other words, they are all playing difficult courses.
Frozen Water Harbor is a special case.
According to Salvatore, this nightmare was attempted to be solved forty-five years ago, but failed.
In the end, the bishop had no choice but to do the next best thing and seal the "key" away. That's why only Louis, an ordinary priest, was needed to guard it.
It's a surprise to be able to purify it, but it doesn't matter if it can't be purified. I didn't count on him anyway.
After all, it is a distortion-level nightmare.
A nightmare of this level can easily be life-threatening. Either they were corroded by the curse and turned into monsters that were neither human nor ghosts, or they were bound by extremely harsh curses and died under the curse.
Bishop is a truly high-risk profession.
You will naturally gain respect from people.
Annan learned from Salvatore that twelve years ago in the Kingdom of Noah, a noble hired a killer to murder a bishop because his hoarding plan was deliberately sabotaged by the bishop and asked him to Lost everything.
In the end, the killer was wanted nationwide and was arrested and brought to justice within five days. Even the nobles involved in the murder were confiscated of their territory, stripped of their titles, and exiled from the country.
Even if the bishop really has bad character or has committed a heinous law, he will usually be arrested after the trial and sent to a "distortion" level or even higher nightmare, constantly Purify the nightmare.
This is how to squeeze out the last value of existence.
—and kill them before they turn into monsters.
So it is a very serious sin to murder a healthy and sane bishop.
This is truly "wasteful" behavior.
Because not all "keys" to nightmares are physical.
For nightmares at the distortion level and above, the keys are usually some weird things.
For example, "Say the word 'Skeleton Man,'" or "Open the door with a frozen fish weighing over seven pounds," or "Say twenty-three words in one day. "different names" and other bizarre conditions.
The bishop's duty is to solve this nightmare.
Because if the key to enter the nightmare is announced, ordinary people will try to become extraordinary, break into the extremely difficult nightmare and die tragically; or some people will simply take advantage of these strange conditions to carry out silent and deliberate murders. .
Though at sunrise, nightmares are dispelled.
But not everyone who enters a nightmare for the first time can survive until the sunrise...
And ordinary people are almost unconscious in nightmares. It's like it's really in a dream.
For them, this is just a more realistic nightmare of "death".
And if ordinary people really become extraordinary people... they will often lose control, be counter-cursed, or die in accidents, becoming a new nightmare.
——In this way, the number of nightmares actually increased!
So, control the number of nightmares and keep reducing them. It is a very important and long work.
As Salvatore said.
If you want to step into the extraordinary road~IndoMTL.com~, you must have the corresponding talent and determination.
The North Sea Territory has a sparse population due to its cold weather. Nightmares are not common here, so the bishop is not too busy.
Just one district bishop, Daryl, is enough to suppress all high-level nightmares in the diocese without the need for other bishops to assist.
On the other hand...
That is, if their bishop dies suddenly, the entire Northern Sea Territory may be thrown into chaos.
So, as long as Annan becomes the bishop of the North Sea Territory.
Whether it is the enemy from the Kingdom of Noah or the hostility from the Principality of Winter, it will end here. The premise is that as long as Annan does not resign.
Then the conclusion is clear.
If Annan accepted this condition, it would be equivalent to revealing that he was not sent by the Principality of Winter.
——But is being hunted by the Principality of Winter.
