Chapter 143 Goodbye to the old man

There are many things in this world that are neither black nor white, such as justice and human hearts. There is a relatively vague dividing line between them, which can accommodate gray things.

However, "facts" do not belong to this list. Facts, like truth, are something black and white, either right or wrong, and some are also wrong.

Now, Hoan Risson and Cardinal have different arguments about Pope Nero, and some of them must be wrong.

So, who is lying?

On one side is the commander of the Cross Church and on the other side is the cardinal. There may be differences in the status of both sides, but they are both core members of the church, and no one seems to have the motivation to lie.

As mentioned earlier, the divine seal is a power derived from inner faith. The more pious a person gains, the greater the power. As the commander of the entire Cross Church, Hoan Risson must be the most pious. In the cross doctrine, lying is a manifestation of impoliteness. Lancelot does not believe that Hoan Risson will lie.

However, Lancelot finally chose to believe in the Cardinal and the decades of friendship between the two.

Why did Hoanlison lie that the pope is ill? Why didn't anyone let anyone see the pope? Lancelot didn't know, maybe it was a lie of kindness? Maybe it was another reason? He only knew that if he continued to stay here, he would never get the answer.

Therefore, on the night that day, Lancelot removed all the things related to his identity, and only kept a sword that never left his body. He didn't even ride a horse. He walked away from the parish in the night without disturbing anyone.

Lancelot left the Vatican directly and took four hours to a town. He found a low house on the cold street with his memory and knocked on the door.

An old woman with half-white hair opened the door. Her face, which had been eroded by time, was full of impatient expressions, and she still held a cigarette that she never left her mouth in her mouth. She was about to curse and said, "Is it serious? Your beard..."

"I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, Britney." Lancelot said hello, touched his beard and smiled dryly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I hope my appearance does not make you disgusted."

Since the Abandoned Investigator launched an attack in Double Holy Week and witnessed Britney standing up to protect the children, Lancelot believed that this was a noble soul and boldly pursued him regardless of his identity. However, Britney hid from Lancelot everywhere and never responded to any of his feelings. Later, he directly refused.

Lancelot was emotionally injured and didn't know how to deal with it. Later, he took the initiative to take on the task of staying abroad and had some escape factors. Now that so many years have passed, it feels indescribable to find his sweetheart who was unable to get together back then.

Does Britney like Lancelot? It is definitely fake to say that there is no such thing. The prince charming, a perfect knight in the hearts of all church girls, has no shortcomings in their bodies, and is willing to let go of the identity of the Knight of the Round Table to pursue you, a civilian girl. Who wouldn't be moved? You would be moved too.

But Britney could not overcome the hurdle in her heart. In her heart, she, who had worked in the sacred sect, was dirty and had no right to defile Lancelot, and did not want to delay his future, so she cruelly rejected him.

After more than ten years of separation, Britney did not expect that she would meet Lancelot again. She thought that both of them had embarked on their respective life trajectories and would never see each other again in this life.

I don’t know how long it took to be silent, but Britney continued to smoke and said lightly: “Is there anything you need to ask me for? Don’t suddenly pick up a bouquet of roses, I will close the door directly.”

"I should be glad that it is winter now, not the flower season, because I really have the idea of ​​buying flowers." Lancelot joked. It's fun to say that both of them are no longer young now. Lancelot is 71 years old and Britney is also in his early 60s. Two old guys are talking about roses here. When young people see it, they may laugh to death, but in their eyes, the other person may still be as beautiful as they were back then.

Seeing that Britney was about to close the door, Lancelot stuck the door with his arm, pushed it away, and his face returned to seriousness: "Britney, I have something important to come to you this time, I need your help."

Britney shouted and looked at Lancelot up and down: "I heard it right? The famous Knight of the Round Table, Lancelot of the Pope, wants the help of me a civilian wife?"

"In my eyes, you are still as beautiful as you were back then." Perhaps every knight has a natural romantic spirit. At this time, Lancelot did not forget to flatter Britney, but soon turned back to the topic, "It's like this, something happened in the church. To be safe, I can't use my relationships left in the church to prevent shocking the snake."

Britney was a little confused: "What's the matter? It's so mysterious."

Lancelot shook his head and said, "I can't explain it clearly for a while. I want to ask you, do you know any intelligence dealers or local snakes in the gray area?"

Britney sneered, kicked the broken chair next to her and said, "Who do you think I am? I have to be that powerful, as for living in such a broken house that is less than 40 square meters?"

Lancelot touched his chin and began to ponder, obviously considering his next plan.

Seeing that Lancelot was a little confused, Britney finished his last puff of cigarettes and pressed it on the bumpy wooden table next to him, and said lightly: "I don't know it, but it doesn't mean I don't know. There are many gray business people in the bar I went to, and they are well-informed. The knights can find out the patrol routes. Maybe they can help you."

If it were normal, if he encountered such a gray business, Lancelot would definitely be severely punished. However, at this moment, he was holding a treasure and excitedly hugging Britney's arm and said, "Very good! Let's go! Take me to find them!"

Britney staggered, unable to keep up with Lancelot's pace, and said anxiously: "I said why are you anxious?! It's not dawn, and the bar door is not open... Alas! Let go! Run slowly! I'm going to fall!"

"Oh! Time doesn't wait for anyone! In order to arrive in time, it seems that I can only carry you forward." Lancelot said without saying a word and picked up Britney in a princess hug, trotting all the way to the bar. Britney kept hammering Lancelot, pulling his beard, and shouting: "You despicable knight!"
