Looking at the emissary who was beating his back, Todd pretended to be concerned: "Is the hotel bed too hard?"

　　 Tristan smiled and waved his hand.

　　 Along the way, the residents of the town saw Todd in a holy rank, and they all proclaimed the grace of praising the Son, and more and more people joined the team.

　　 Todd wiped his forehead, and while observing the look of the envoy, he winked at Huggins and asked him to quickly disperse the crowd behind him.

　　 To his surprise, Tristan seemed to be in a good mood, not at all displeased by the voice of the people.

　　 "Father, it seems that people here love to wear you. I heard them call you the Son."

　　 Todd heard what the other person said, and a spirit in his mind quickly said: "The villagers in the remote villages have never seen anything in the world. What they call is just casual talk, Lord Saint, don't care."

　　 Tristan glanced at Todd with deep meaning, and said with a smile: "Father, the people love you, this is a good thing."

What does 　　 mean?

　　Praise or sarcasm?

　　 Todd didn't say a word, lowered his head and followed behind the emissary, carefully speculating on the other side's thoughts.

　　 accompanied him around the town of Musee, Tristan looked satisfied, which made Todd breathe a sigh of relief. But walking on the road, the other party suddenly waved to the guards to leave the two, and asked a question, which made the atmosphere suddenly tense.

　　『Father, how do you see the boundary between faith and scientia? 』

　　The boundary between faith and learning? This is really a very difficult question...

　　Scientia stands for "knowledge and learning" in Latin, and this word is the predecessor of science. This question seems to be discussing the relationship between religion and science, but in fact it is questioning the philosophical propositions of the origin of the world.

　　 If it is in the past life, from evolution to genetics, from primitive society to the information age, Todd can fully cite classics and long-form discussions for an hour.

but……

　　 Now he doesn't know where to start.

　　 Speaking of the reason. First, it is a medieval society. There is no evidence to freely define the origin of the world. Fire torture may be the most benevolent favor. Secondly, the idea of ​​the envoy is really hard to guess. On the one hand, he is the deacon of the church and the pope. The messengers of the country, on the other hand, he and his masters all studied alchemy. Is he more religious? Or is it science?

　　 Helpless Todd finally had to express his opinion by telling stories.

　　 "My Lord Saint, I have read a fable in a book. I wonder if you are interested in listening to it?"

　　 Tristan stopped, found a wooden box on the side of the road, sat down and patted his side.

Father 　　 sat beside the envoy and slowly told the story:

　　『A long time ago, two people were walking on a big road. One person firmly believes that this road leads to heaven, while the other doesn't believe it at all. But they have no other way in front of them, they can only go on this way. There is joy and suffering in the journey. A pious person regards pleasure as a gift and reward from the gods, and suffering as a trial and test by the gods. Another person, who associates these events with cause and effect, logic, and nature, does not believe in the existence of gods at all. 』

　　 Tristan heard this, watched the other person stop talking, and asked: "Then the end? There is always an end to this journey, right? The end proves who is right and who is wrong?"

　　 Todd spread his hands out, palms facing up: "These two people are walking on the road, and no one has seen them again. They may have reached the end, but they never came back to tell us what the end is like."

　　 Tristan was silent for a long time, and finally laughed: "Father, I admit that at the beginning, I despised you because of your age, but you are smarter than I thought."

　　 patted the dust on the clothes, the envoy stood up, with the dazzling sunlight behind his back, and stretched out his hand to Todd: "Come on, I have something to give you."

　　 followed Tristan to his church, and Todd saw two figures from a distance.

　　 Karin and Pamela, standing at the door of the church looking inward.

　　 Seeing Todd, Karin's eyes lit up, and she looked at Tristan and the guards of the Holy See next to him, stepped back vigilantly, and ran Pamela back to the Nunnery.

　　 Todd walked into the chapel, only to find someone was already waiting under the cross.

　　 "Rachel?"

　　 The woman heard Todd's voice, turned her head, but turned her face to Tristan: "I hope to attend the next meeting."

　　 Different from Todd's surprised face, the envoy nodded and said, "No problem."

The three of them walked into the priest's exegetical hall. Tristan turned around and closed the door, took out a black wooden box from his arms, carefully placed it on the table, and slowly opened the upper baffle, a package. The airtight scroll was lying quietly in the box.

"Todd Fischer." Tristan took out the contents with both hands, opened the tightly wrapped cloth silk layer by layer, revealing the gray sheepskin scroll, and put it into Todd's hand after raising his shoulders. : "May our God, the glorious Father, give you the gift of wisdom and courage, and may his light shine into the eyes of your soul."

　　 trembling hands took the scroll, and Todd slowly opened it, looking at the lines of Latin text on it, as he thought, this is an order to support the establishment of the church knights in Muxi Town!

　　 Finally, I finally waited for this day!

"This is a decree drafted by the Cardinals and signed by the Pope. The official decree will be formally distributed to every corner of the Diocese of the Father after the Ecumenical Council and the Secular Council of the Papal States are held in October. "

　　 Tristan's words made Todd's eyes widened. Isn't the order that he got the official approval from the Knights of the Church?

The envoy patted the priest on the shoulder: "Don't think too much. This decree means that the church has officially recognized the legal status of the Knights. The October meeting is just a formality. After the meeting, you still need to rush to the capital. Luo went to receive the group seal, ribbon, holy cross and so on."

　　 Tristan found a chair and sat down and said to Todd, "Father... No, you should be called the head of the head now. Next, let's talk about cooperation."

cooperate?

　　 Just when Todd was full of doubts, the envoy pointed to himself and asked: "Do you know that the order of the Knights is handed over, why did the church only send a small deacon?"

　　 Todd shook his head.

"First, the situation in the Silver Ring Kingdom is more complicated. The relationship between the church and the kingship is not harmonious. No one in the diocese wants to take this errand; second, the Pope requires that the envoys sent this time must understand alchemy." Seeing the other person confused, Tristan continued: "The church wants you to hand in the method of making the crystal relic..."

　　 Todd's pupils shrank, his head turned slightly to the back, and his gaze was cast towards Rachel behind him.

　　 The woman nodded imperceptibly.

　　 Todd touched the bridge of his nose with his hand, thought for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.

Tristan looked relieved. He took out a pen and paper, and said as he wrote: "Next, there are some rules about the Knights. Regarding the regulations and rules, refer to the other three knights of the church. I will transcribe. I copied a copy and will give it to you later. Regarding the name of the Knight Order, the full name given by the Cardinal Order is "The Knight Order of the Brothers of the Muxi Harbor, Blessed by Heavenly Father", or "The Knight Order of the Muxi" for short."

　　 Twilight Knights?

　　 Todd said the name silently several times.

　　 Tristan said again: "As for the list of members of the Knight Order, if possible, it is best to give it to me as soon as possible. It will be mentioned in the official edict."

　　 Todd was a little startled: "The list of members, everyone's?"

　　The envoy raised his head strangely: "Of course not, the list of important positions in the regiment. Such as priests, legion chiefs, knight chiefs, inspector chiefs, these people."

　　 Todd was sweating coldly, so speaking of it, it seems that the knights are the only commander of the polished rod...

　　 Looking at the opponent's face, Tristan put down his pen: "Commander, can I ask, how many knights, sergeants, and peasants in Muxi Town together are there?"

"Knight?" Todd's mind immediately showed Huggins and Alfonso, but the former was a deserter and had been deprived of the title; although the latter was a knight of the Holy See, but now weak, let alone on the battlefield, I'm afraid Lianjian can't hold it anymore. In addition, the twelve subordinates of Huggins and the three subordinates of Alfonso...

　　 Thinking of this, Todd's forehead was sweaty, and he raised **** tremblingly.

　　 "Two hundred people?" Tristan wrote a number on the paper, nodded and said, "Say more than more, say less than a lot..."

　　 "No... it's twenty people..."

　　 The holy envoy's pen fell to the ground.

　　 Tristan stammered and said, "Head of the regiment, you should know that even the number of guards in the trades is greater than this number, right?"

uh-huh!

　　Rachel, sitting behind Todd, coughed suddenly.

　　 Tristan saw the woman's eyes, and quickly changed his words to comfort him: "The chief, the members of the Knights are always in a process of increasing..."

Richel suddenly said: "My Lord Saint~lightnovelpub.net~ Your master has accepted the specialty of Muxi Town. You may still be asking for help in the future. Couldn't it be in the weak of the Muxi Knights? Time, can you lend a helping hand?"

Looking at the woman's eyes that were choosing people, Tristan couldn't laugh or cry: "General Commander, after I return to the capital, I will help you keep an eye on those outstanding and loyal knights in the Holy See, and recommend them to serve in the Knights of Murphy. "

　　 Tristan picked up the pen, looked at the paper, and suddenly remembered something, and said to Todd: "That's right! The commander, there is one more thing, about the group logo of the Musi Knights."

　　 "The group logo?"

　　 "It is the sign that is marked on the flag and robes of the Knights to identify the members and the army. Please note that because the Knights belong to the church, there should be a cross in the sign of the Knights."

　　 Todd thought for a while, picked up the black pencil and the red ochre, and in less than five minutes, drew a sign on the paper.

　　 Tristan and Rachel stood up and leaned over to take a look. The envoy touched his chin and said, "It's a strange pattern."

　　 Todd looked at the red and white signs in front of him, and asked, "Why? Doesn't it meet the church regulations?"

　　 Tristan shook his head: "No, this is indeed a cross, but I have never seen such a cross."

On the snow-white paper, a regular octagon composed of eight inwardly curved arcs is drawn in the center, and the eight bases are 30-degree equiangular triangles with the arcs. The regular octagon is cut into eight equal parts. . The triangles in the four directions of south, east, north and west are red, forming a "red cross" converging at the origin, and the triangles in the other four directions are white, forming a white X.

　　 Tristan glanced at Todd and asked, "Does this pattern have a name?"

　　 "Umbrella ()."
