Chapter 21: Retreat to advance
"We are all God's shepherd dogs!"
"I got lost, traveled through the darkness and came here. The strange environment around me scared me. The hatred of my lambs and the rejection of my shepherd dogs around me even more."
"Oh, I get it, it turns out that I look different from them, because I have a pair of terrible black eyes."
Ning Xiuyuan's calm voice echoed in the Hall of Ahiben.
When he talked about this, the angry priests suddenly felt a little unnatural on their faces. They asked themselves, how many of their doubts about Arthur were based on the facts? How many were because of his alien identity?
Thinking of this, the anger in everyone's heart unknowingly dissipated three points.
"But the shepherds here didn't bother me. They took me in, gave me work, and gave me food, so that I could have a shelter in the storm."
"I am very grateful. I work hard to learn the language and writing here every day, patrolling the tents without any obstacles, guarding the bonfires, and listening to the teachings."
"I gradually realized that the night gave me black eyes, but I could use it to find light."
After the words fell, it was like a divine word, which shocked countless priests, and their hearts were cleansed and their hearts were trembling!
Especially Bishop Byron, he looked at Ning Xiuyuan with a look of surprise, feeling throbbing.
Black eyes, looking for light?
What a graceful metaphor, this is simply the most true portrayal of God’s grace.
This sentence should be written into the holy scriptures for the education of heresy!
"One day, I walked into the tent and suddenly found a terrible poisonous snake biting the ears of the baby in the swaddling clothes. I was so angry and scared!"
"I've never experienced this kind of scene!"
The priests in the temple were silent.
Yes, Arthur was not a monk with a professional education. When he wandered to this point, he couldn't even understand the local language.
Faced with a terrible out of control, fear is human instinct. Are their requirements for him too harsh?
In fact, even if they are in the face of an out-of-control body, how many of them can guarantee absolute rationality?
"I subconsciously wanted to run away, but I held back, and I roared and tried to drive it away and attract companions."
"But it was unmoved, and there was no collie to help me."
"The baby's crying came to my ears, and my heart was like a knife!"
"I remembered the teachings of the shepherd, and plucked up the courage, pounced on it, bit the poisonous snake to death, tear it to pieces, and ate it into my stomach."
"The little baby is still crying, oh, its ears are bitten and blood is flowing. I stepped forward with heartache and licked his ears, hoping to relieve his pain."
"At this moment, a group of adults rushed in, they picked up sticks and surrounded me, beating me desperately."
At this point, countless priests subconsciously clenched their fists.
They have been immersed in this story... I clearly saved the baby, but I was misunderstood and beaten because of a kind-hearted act. This is simply aggrieved.
Isn’t this story a true portrayal of Arthur’s situation?
He clearly saved Orlando, but because Orlando lost control, he wiped out all his credit and even blamed him. This is unfair! It is even more aggrieved!
Sensual nuns even had their eyes red. This world should not be like this!
"They roared and roared, mixed with the cry of babies, which made me very sad and sad."
Ning Xiuyuan's story continued. Just when everyone thought he was going to complain about grievances, his next sentence made everyone with a conscience tremble.
"I know they are blaming me for not protecting the baby. I am guilty and I am willing to be punished. I just hope the child will not cry."
A story that seems to be incompatible is over.
The Hall of Ahiben was also in silence for a long time.
Rhodes's angry and cold expression froze, and his eyes showed a three-point shame and self-doubt.
The angry priests calmed down.
"Mr. Lampkeeper, please forgive my fault! I shouldn't have speculated and suspected you before the truth is found out. I am very sorry and very sorry for the misunderstanding caused by this!"
Father Rhodes spoke.
"No, I should apologize for me, I am timid and cowardly, and I didn't try to fight back as soon as possible." Ning Xiuyuan suppressed his inner disgust and said humbly.
"You've done well enough that if it weren't for you, Orlando's out of control could cause even greater disaster!"
Father Rhodes finally faced Ning Xiuyuan's contribution.
"Everything is God's merit, I am just an extension of God's will."
Ning Xiuyuan is still very humble.
This scene fell into the eyes of the priests and felt emotion in their hearts.
Maybe they really misunderstood Arthurs.
Such devout faith is rare even among priests.
"Silent!" Bishop Byron paused the little angel silver shepherd's staff. His eyes swept across the audience and said loudly: "Arthur's self-defence is over. Does anyone object?"
The hall was quiet. Look at me, look at you, and the scenes of agitated before will never be seen again, no one doubted or opposed.
Even a few people with dark minds knew that this was not the time to object. Arthur had already used a wonderful story to clarify that he was not a god, he was a mortal who could make mistakes, be timid, and hesitate!
He just made a mistake that failed to seize the opportunity. No, this is not even a mistake, it can only be said to be a mistake. Because of a small mistake, he completely denies his merits. This is equivalent to denying the doctrine of Dawn and the hearts of the people. Who dares to face the out-of-control situation in the future?
Facing a quiet ceremonial seat, Bishop Byron nodded with satisfaction and announced loudly: "Since no one objected, I declare the incident of Orlando out of control, and the trial of Arthurs will be innocent!"
"Baobabababababa..."
At the ceremony, there were sporadic applause first, and then the applause became more and more hot, and countless people stood up!
Everyone is expressing their shame and recognition.
Ning Xiuyuan, surrounded by applause, looked at the countless priests who were moved by themselves with a calm expression, and his heart was extremely calm at this moment.
There is neither a sense of relief nor a sense of sophistry and pride, but there is a little bit of indelible disgust in my heart.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! If he is clumsy, will he always bear the infatuation of selfishness and never save him after this trial meeting?
Isn't this bullying honest people?
Ning Xiuyuan gradually became angry, but his expression became more and more humble.
The trial meeting is over.
The priests who gave Ning Xiuyuan warmly applauded at the meeting, did not know whether it was due to embarrassment or shame, but no one came to express their apology or even comfort.
Everyone dispersed in groups of three or three, and in a moment, they disappeared.
Ning Xiuyuan stood in front of the gate of the Hall of Ahiben, looked up at the sky, and felt a dazed.
It took him a long time to come to his senses, took a slight breath, and went to the church with the ever-in-one crystal lantern to continue his job.
——Before his strength is still strong, he must play the role of a devout believer.
This will be his greatest amulet.
When he came to the church, everything in the church was as old as he had left.
It can be seen that his identity as a lampkeeper is optional to the church.
Ning Xiuyuan laughed at himself and only returned to the stable dormitory after inspecting the church.
After stepping into the stable, he went to the horse house first.
The horse told him that there were no visitors from the stables during the days he left.
It seems that the church has not sent anyone to search his room.
Of course, this may just be because no one was sent on the surface. In fact, if the rat ghost was sent, the horse would not be able to detect it.
Just as Ning Xiuyuan was about to leave, the horse in the stable suddenly rotated his ears and pointed to the door.
Ning Xiuyuan's heart moved and pretended not to know.
"Is Mr. Arthurs living here?"
A crisp sound came over.
Is this... Angela?
Ning Xiuyuan turned his head and looked at him and saw a girl in her early twenties, covered in sparrows and a white turban, asking in a peek.
"He doesn't live here." Ning Xiuyuan looked serious.
"Ah?" Angela's eyes widened, and she could hear Ning Xiuyuan's voice.
“He lives in the groom’s room.”
