Inside the humble church

"Thank the Lord, because of the cross you bear, we have received blessings of grace. We look to the cross, you are the way, the truth, and the life!"

Ike recited the prayer with a solemn expression, took out the bishop's crown from the inside of the altar, and slowly put it on top of his head. Then he raised his hands flat and put on himself the bishop's ring, which symbolizes theocracy. At the end of the ceremony, he held the shepherd's scepter, which symbolizes the salvation of all beings.

"The ceremony is complete, it's time to go." After finishing all this, he seemed to be relieved, and his expression eased.

咴——咴——

With the neighing of the horses, a luxurious four-wheeled carriage drove outside the door. The carriage was pure white and spotless, with a gilded cross on the top. After a sudden brake, it stopped in front of the main entrance.

Yale, dressed as a priest, jumped off the groom seat: "I didn't expect you to hide such a beautiful car."

"This is the facade of the bishop, how can it not be well preserved." The young bishop waved the shepherd's scepter: "Everyone come here, get ready to get in the car."

"Yes, Lord Bishop!" Verity responded most positively, walking over with a jolly smile on her face, reminding the knight of the house cat who was coquettishly rolling on the floor.

"Anyway, when you arrive at the monastery, you pretend to be a little more decent, um, have you read the Bible? People who haven't read it raise their hands."

When everyone nodded as a matter of course, Yale raised his right hand silently: "I haven't seen it."

"You haven't even read the Bible, do you have childhood? Forget it, from now on, your settings will be dumb."

"no problem."

"Now let's get acquainted with each other's pseudonyms again." Ike held up the shepherd's scepter and pointed at Alei: "You are priest Lucar who can't speak."

He pointed to Lydia who was dressed as a nun: "You are nun Mai Zhuo."

Then he pointed to Nicole who was playing with the ends of her hair: "You are Sister Weiss."

...Kara: "You're the deputy priest Konitz."

... Clark: "You are the exorcist Seongadhu."

... Arcia: "You are Chris, the scribe."

...Beverly: "You are the gatekeeper Jiadi Lu."

When the shepherd's scepter touched Dr. Goblin's head, the young bishop seemed to have a short-circuit in his brain, and he couldn't remember for a while: "Uh...you are...?"

"Sir Bishop! I'm Sister Sharan!" Verity frowned and said dissatisfiedly.

"Hahaha, sorry, you are Sharan." Ike removed the scepter with a dry smile, and finally tapped on the silver-haired nun who hugged her chest and turned her head: "You are a boy... No, you are Sister Kura."

"Humph!" Bruno responded angrily. Under the cover of the nun's robe, a pair of straight legs wrapped in white silk twisted unnaturally.

"Prepare to go now! The first-class gatekeeper is going to drive the carriage!" The young bishop played with the shepherd's scepter and entered the carriage proudly.

"Why am I the most junior gatekeeper..." Beverly sighed and climbed onto the groom's seat, twitched the reins, and shouted loudly:

"Guardian Jiadi Road, let's go!"

The luxurious bishop's carriage rode out of the dust, dragged out two clear ruts, and quickly rushed out of the Hagia Sophia.

Witnessing the carriage gradually disappearing from sight, in front of the cathedral, the blue-haired nun holding a wooden basin said in a daze, "Sir Sister... Mr. Bishop, he went out in that carriage."

"It's really rare..." The blond nun stopped a urchin who was trying to evade the ticket, and said lightly, "I hope this time I will do something serious."

St. Bernaham Abbey, priest Aldred Coggin, whose supervisor is also the head, is forty-eight years old, and his teaching age is forty years old.

He belongs to the middle force in the church, and after struggling for half his life is still in the "middle management position".

A good man who works hard, is resistant to pressure and treats his subordinates kindly. As a rare and excellent talent in the church, he still has stomach medicine to prevent unforeseen needs in the "middle management position".

A "middle management position" loved by his subordinates and lovely juniors.

From time to time, he is sulked by his boss, suffocated by his subordinates, and "middle-level management" who is angry on both sides.

In short, most of them can only be "middle management positions" in this life.

This does not mean that Aldred is willing to settle here. He has been a priest for ten years. He vows to at least become a bishop in this life, even if it is an honorary bishop who has no real power.

This year, Aldred was levelled to St. Bernaham's Abbey, and he saw the appointment as a great opportunity, and just as he was galloping up his ambitions and preparing to do something big, all kinds of weird things happened. .

So much so that the devout clergyman was tossed to the point of being devastated and exhausted, and even tried to seek help from secular powers. . . . and yet . . . Annis Jeram . . . that old-fashioned madman, staring at himself like a mad dog, never wanting to take a bite.

I will never let you stop my promotion, definitely become a bishop!

In the single prayer room, Priest Aldred clasped the crucifix in both hands, waiting anxiously...

dong dong dong...

Outside the door, there was a soft knock on the door, and a gentle female voice entered the room:

"His Excellency, Bishop Ike Celestine of Hagia Sophia is visiting and wants to learn from the management knowledge of the monastery."

"That guy? What management knowledge do you need to guard a ruin, let him... Forget it, wait for me." He was about to refuse, but the cautious nature of the middle management position came up again. No matter what the other party says, it is also a nominal superior... It is more appropriate to meet...

The white-bearded priest straightened his clothes, followed behind the middle-aged nun, and quickly entered the reception room.

Before stepping into the door, Ike heard footsteps, and he had already come out first, smiled and tapped his left shoulder with his right hand, then tapped his right shoulder, then put his hands together, clasped his fingers tightly, and recited aloud:

"Amen."

"Amen." Priest Aldred returned the salute with the same gesture.

"His Excellency Bishop Ike, this is the first time we met. The superficial knowledge of monastery management. If there is a chance, I will definitely teach it, but recently..."

The young bishop interrupted him: "Don't worry, Your Excellency, the purpose of my coming here is to solve your troubles."

After speaking, he turned his body sideways and let Verity dressed as a nun appear in front of him.

"His Excellency." The goblin doctor dressed as a nun nodded slightly, stared at the other party's dry eyes, and said softly:

"I'm Dr. Goblin from the Green Parrot Spirit Exploration Club. I accept the help of Bishop Ike to solve your troubles."

Aldred is not someone who doesn't understand workarounds. He was stunned for a moment, and then his expression returned to normal: "You are finally here, please follow me to the office to discuss in detail."
