Chapter 116 Red Cross (5)

"I..." Father Peter said with his lips trembling, "What can I do?"

Danica shook her head firmly and said, "No, you can definitely find a way to raise food. Remember, what the victims need now is food, food that can be eaten. Only by solving this problem will your guilt and self-blame be slightly reduced. Otherwise, even if you are exhausted here, you will not be able to get redemption."

Father Peter's whole face became bitter, like a wrinkled bitter gourd: "I really can't do it! If I have a way, I will raise food for them even if I fight this life!" As he said that, Father Peter covered his face with his hands and seemed to sob.

Danica rolled her eyes in her heart. She had already suggested it was obvious enough. Why didn't this guy know anything? Are you stupid to move stones? There was no way, Danica had to say it a little more explicitly: "Father Pete, it's March now, it's time for the young and yellow. It's very difficult to raise food at this time. In addition, at least half of the loss on the road is a huge waste. If you can find enough food near Cass Town, it should be the best choice, right?"

Father Peter also heard Danica's tone was a little wrong at this time. He looked at the deep black eyes, and after a while he realized: "You mean..."

It would be best if you could find enough food near Cass Town, and coincidentally, you could find enough food nearby. Ernst City, not far from here, is an important garrison for the Crusaders, where 50,000 elite crusaders are stationed. As a military base, Ernst City must have a lot of material reserves. In addition to armor, weapons, etc., the most important thing is food.

As the most powerful force in the Katic continent, the Holy See has been in peace for a long time, and there has been no tension in the situation recently that it needs to use the Crusaders. Since there is no war, can you second some food from Ernst be considered a rescue emergency.

Danica smiled and said, "I didn't say anything. You committed that sin and you also need to bear it yourself."

At this time, Father Peter also eased from his shock. He stood up and said seriously: "I know that I will carry this matter alone and will not involve others."

Although he was just a small priest from a remote area, Father Pitt still knew a little about the operation of the entire Holy See.

In the Katic continent, the army is a very important force, but it is also a very dangerous force. It is not uncommon for military refutation, forced palaces, and military coups. In order to prevent the crusaders from becoming bargaining chips in factional struggle, the first pope prevented the army from becoming a bargaining chip in the Holy See, and established the independent status of the crusaders in the system. The crusaders only need to be responsible to the Pope and are not subject to the restraint of any cardinal.

The Crusaders were an important force in which the Pope could control the entire huge Vatican, which required the officers and soldiers of the Crusaders to maintain absolute loyalty to the Holy Light and to the Pope. Perhaps it was because of the habit of this, or perhaps it was to avoid suspicion that the Crusaders rarely deal with other institutions of the Vatican, and everything was done in public.

It is not something a bishop can decide to transfer food from Ernst City, and it requires the approval of Pope Ophio. Although Father Pitt has a fanatical and firm belief, his mind is not broken. He clearly knows that the rescue of a disaster-stricken town is not a big deal in the entire Holy See, and such a thing will not be put before the Pope.

But no matter what, Father Peter can't watch the five thousand victims just hungry, right? He has to give it a try anyway, as he said, even if he loses his life, he will do whatever he wants.

Seeing that Father Peter had already understood what he meant, Danica smiled and said, "It's good that you understand, but I still want to emphasize that the best way to atone for your sins is to raise food for the victims, rather than just caring about your own peace of mind."

"No...no." Father Peter replied nervously, not even daring to look up at Danica, because she did hit him.

After all, Cass Town and Ernst City are very close. Father Pitt had dealt with the crusaders in Ernst City before and knew that it was a group of difficult guys to talk to. It was almost impossible to second the food from them. He just wanted to die on the road to raise food for the victims, which was also an explanation for his conscience. But now Danica pointed out clearly that this was just a self-deception. The only way to atone for sins was to raise food. If he didn't raise food, death would not be enough to repay the sins he committed against the victims.

"Father Peter, don't let down the expectations and trust of the victims of you, their lives will be in your hands." Father Peter opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Danica said, "Don't have to make any guarantees to me. "Please" not fill the stomachs of the victims. Remember, food is the most important thing. For the victims, food is everything." After that, Danica turned around and left, leaving Father Peter who was dazed.

Danica originally wanted to go shopping in other places to see where the reconstruction work in Castown has been progressing, but because of her serious injury, she could no longer bear the burden. After more than an hour of her out, she felt sore and weak all over and wanted to lie in bed and rest.

Danica slowly walked towards her tent with her cane. When she thought of causing new trouble for Elizabeth, she felt better.

Receiving food from the Crusaders will put His Highness in a dilemma. Private contact with the Crusaders is a taboo in the Holy See. The army is not a field that the Saint can touch. However, if it is to be exposed to the Pope, Elizabeth will be too unfair to do things. Such a small matter cannot be done well. The Crusaders are not easy to talk to, and the other side is not easy to deal with. According to Danica's observation, the victims are already very dissatisfied with the daily food supply. If there is a Father Pitt who is not afraid of death and is very appealing among the victims, Elizabeth dares to refuse directly? If she dares to refuse directly, Danica will be sure to detonate the public grievances of this savings. Then see how Elizabeth will end.

Danica was not idle and insisted on Elizabeth's trouble, but this guy was staring at him too hard. If he didn't find something for her, he wouldn't do anything.
