Chapter 214: Purification
Duke Losedi was also a little shocked, and he didn't expect Kelly to know Mr. Edward.
I was worried about how to get along with Mr. Edward, but the problem has been solved.
Moreover, if Mr. Edward could really become the archbishop of the Cross Church, it would not be less beneficial to the Losedi family.
"How is your relationship with Mr. Edward?"
Kelly didn't understand why his father suddenly asked him such a question. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Teacher."
Duke Losedi frowned slightly, not because he was dissatisfied with Kelly's answer.
But I felt a little dissatisfied with Kelly's words. It seemed that he had been to the Suzaku Federation for a long time and had forgotten the etiquette of the nobles' speaking.
It is harmless for ordinary people to use the words of the iron buddies, but how could they use such adjectives as ancient nobles in the empire?
Of course, Duke Losedi quickly threw this little thing out of his mind, and all he thought about was how to help Edward become the Archbishop next.
"Father, please bring him out of the Cross Church as soon as possible. I'm afraid that the loss will be delayed for too long..."
"etc."
Duke Losedi raised his hand and interrupted Kelly.
"Bring it out? What does it mean?"
"Kelly, don't you know that Mr. Edward is a popular candidate for becoming the Archbishop? Oh my god, you would actually say take him away."
"Don't worry, since Mr. Edward is your friend, he is also my junior. I will try my best to help him become the Archbishop."
Duke Losedi patted Kelly on the shoulder and signaled him to rest assured.
Kelly stood there in a daze, right?
What's the meaning?
I wanted my father to rescue Kelly, not to help him become an archbishop.
...
Li Changqing was lying on the bed. In fact, he was not bored. After coming here, five waves of people had arrived one after another, claiming that they could help him become the archbishop and hoped to cooperate with their respective families.
These people who came were all nobles of great power in the royal capital.
Li Changqing couldn't figure out what was going on, but he still kept polite and chatted with these people for a while.
Finally, I got the general idea from their questions.
These nobles all choose people who have the potential to become archbishops to bet.
If they make a successful bet, when they become the archbishop, they will be able to gain the favor of an archbishop, even more than just a favor.
Dongdongdongdongdong.
There was a knock on the door outside the door, and Li Changqing frowned and opened the door. It was Kelly who stood outside the door.
"Kelly, why are you here? Come in quickly."
"You're the only one?"
After pulling Kelly into the house, Li Changqing leaned his head and swept outside, but he did not find anyone else.
"You're here to take me away?"
Li Changqing also remembered that the Luosaidi family had huge power in the Lamela Empire after all, and it should not be a big problem to take him away and rescue him.
Kelly shrugged: "Changqing, I did plan to ask my father to help you get out from here at first, but my father said it was a great thing..."
"This is of course a good thing for others, but you also know that I am a zombie. Will it be possible for the Cross Church to make a zombie the Archbishop?"
Kelly nodded slightly at Li Changqing's words: "That's the reason, but now, you may not be able to leave even if you want to."
Kelly whispered: "The Cross Church will not let you leave casually, my father said that your best choice now is to become an archbishop."
"Then I deliberately lost during the assessment."
Li Changqing said, "If this is the case, can I leave legitimately?"
"This is a solution," Kelly said from the side: "I'm afraid this is the only way..."
"But." Kelly looked left and right and whispered: "My father has already started to spend money secretly."
"It is said that the final assessment of the church ceremony was personally assessed by the Archbishop, but the previous few rounds were handled by other red-robed bishops."
Li Changqing was slightly shocked and asked in confusion: "Can your father spend money to operate such a major event as a church ceremony?"
"This is not new, not to mention that it is not just our Losedi family, but I'm afraid the royal family and other big families will do some secret actions."
"But as long as you act poorly, you should be eliminated."
"If anything happens, you can contact me."
Kelly came this time mainly to visit Li Changqing. After chatting, he said goodbye and turned away.
...
On the evening of the next day, dozens of people stood on the lawn of the manor.
Li Changqing also stood in the crowd, and most of the candidates were from the Lamela Empire.
Of course, there are also a small number of people from the Suzaku Federation.
They stood on the lawn in a little confused, and in front of them, they had already brushed a five-meter-long "road" with gasoline.
At the scene, more than ten red-robed bishops stood.
Among them, Casar is the main one.
Casar was about seventy years old and obviously had prestige among other red-robed bishops. He stood there with his hands behind his back and a serious expression.
"ignition."
A red-robed bishop stepped forward and said with reverence: "Great God, please give you clear and turbid fire to cleanse all living beings."
With a bang, the ground covered with gasoline ignited a five-meter-long fire road.
Casar looked at the candidates and said calmly: "I am your candidate. Casar, you will need to walk through the fire path in front of you one by one. Don't worry, although you are ordinary people, you will not hurt you. You will only cleanse the turbidity on your body and make you more pure and clean."
Many candidates are basically ordinary people. At this moment, you look at me and I look at you, but no one dares to step forward.
Although Casar said so, the fires in front of him are real.
If you walk in, you will be burned to death...
"I'll try it first."
Dewey Gary walked out of the crowd. Dewey Gary was a person who has been known as a child prodigy since childhood and has never forgotten it since childhood. He is also one of the candidates who have been highly anticipated this time.
Dewey Gary was wearing a clean white robe, barefoot, and a little nervous in her heart. Taking a deep breath, he stepped into the flames.
"hiss."
Dewey Gary heard a low voice and was soon swallowed by the flames.
Many candidates looked at Dewey with nervous eyes. After a few seconds, Dewey walked out of the flames, but his whole body was unscathed.
Magical, so magical.
The candidates were basically ordinary people, but they couldn't hurt Dewey when they saw the fire, and their faces were full of surprise.
Then, the second person volunteered and the third person.
