Section 31 Heresy
In the dark carriage, you can only hear the sound of the wheels rotating.
A team of knights escorted a dilapidated prison van and slowly headed far away.
The space inside the car was quite spacious, but it was wrapped in thin iron sheets around it, and several small holes were opened around it so that the prisoner would not die of suffocation.
A scent of rust filled the carriage.
Dora moved, frowned and said, "Lance, for the first time I think you came up with a bad idea."
"Be patient," Lance shrugged: "I've been put on torture instruments like you."
He shook his hand, and a clanging sound rang out. It was a pair of rusty iron handcuffs, which looked a little old.
“I don’t really like the current environment,” Landry complained. “Why don’t we choose another way?”
"Other way?" Lance asked back, "You mean, expose our wizard's identity from the beginning, and then kill them all the way?"
"These mortals are not our opponents at all!" Valerie also said, "Why don't we defeat them and then find out from these knights the direction of the so-called [White City]? We are much faster than their prison car."
Lance shook his head and said, "It is indeed difficult for these mortals to cause too much trouble for us. But if we act rashly, it may be difficult to find the person we are looking for smoothly - we have to find a big man, so that in the next action, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"I can explain in advance that if these idiots are going to throw me into a dirty dungeon, I will not be interested in continuing to act." Landry whispered.
"Don't worry, everyone, endure it for a while. When we arrive at the main city of this territory, it's almost time for us to take action." Lance said calmly.
...
In a low house, the dilapidated wooden door was pushed open with a creaking sound.
The boy in a hunting suit walked in from outside the door.
"Mother..." The boy walked quickly to the bed.
A middle-aged woman with a yellow complexion and haggard face was lying there quietly, hearing the call of the boy. She opened her eyes with some difficulty.
A hint of joy appeared on the woman's face: "Charles, you are back...Ahem!"
Her face turned red with a violent cough, and Charles hurriedly handed over a bowl of water.
The middle-aged woman took a sip of water and her dry lips looked a little wet.
A trace of sadness flashed in the eyes of the boy hunting suit, and then he held his mother's hands tightly and said happily: "Mother, I have money, I have money to treat you."
After saying that, he carefully took out a silver pocket from his arms.
He poured the money in his pocket on the table, and there were dozens of coins scattered.
There was no trace of joy on the middle-aged woman's face, and she asked in a low voice: "Where did this money come from?"
Charles was stunned for a moment. He immediately said something that happened before.
"... Those people were wearing clothes that only the temple's people could wear, but they were not people from the temple. They were the outsiders the knights said a few days ago! I told the knights about this news, and he immediately gave me the money. Although it was not as much as I said before, it should be able to cure you!"
The mother looked calm and suddenly asked, "You mean. They saved you from the black bear's mouth, and then you quickly sold their news to the people in the temple, right?"
Charles blushed at once, and he whispered: "They are bad guys...they are the adults in the temple said..."
"Charles!" The mother on the sickbed raised her tone slightly, and her expression was very serious: "Don't listen to others if you are a bad person, even the temple's people are the same. You must look at it with your own eyes and let your heart make a judgment."
"I get it." Charles lowered his head sadly.
"Now tell me, are they bad guys?" she asked.
Charles gritted his teeth: "It seems not..."
"You did something wrong." The middle-aged woman touched Charles' hair: "My child. My illness is not important, I care about you."
"If you can't be a kind and upright person, what's the point if I can live a hundred years healthy?"
"Ahem cough cough..."
She began to cough violently again.
Charles handed over the bowl filled with clear water and whispered, "I understand what you mean."
He stood up from the bed and took off the hunting bow hanging on the wall, and then he pulled out two daggers from the drawer.
"I might be back late tonight," Charles whispered.
"Be careful," said his mother. "I know you know everything about Baicheng. Even if they are imprisoned in the dungeon, you can easily rescue them. But you still have to pay attention that it is still difficult for you to defeat a guardian knight in front of one-on-one situation."
"I know, I won't fight head-on with the people in the temple." Charles smiled:
"You have always known me very well, and I am an excellent hunter."
...
The bumpy journey lasted for a long time, and it was not until the sun set that they arrived at the destination of the trip, Baicheng.
The main city of Solaha, where the lords live here.
Through the gaps in the prison car, Lance could clearly see the scenery of White City in the evening.
The entire city is built against the mountain. It is estimated that because the rocks are pure white, this city is named because of this. The walls of Baicheng are not tall, and it may be that wars rarely occur here and the guards are not strict.
When most civilians pass by the city gate, they only need to show a certificate. The team led by the guardian knights of the Yueqin Temple took a shortcut directly from the small gate beside them, and the prison cart drove into the city squeakingly.
What surprised Lance was that the city gate was sparsely populated and there was almost no one in the open streets.
"What's wrong today?" He heard a guardian knight greeting the city gate guards.
"The heresy is being executed in the Plaza de Tesro. Lord Lohart ordered all soldiers and civilians who are not on duty to go and witness. If you are faster, you might be able to catch up with the scene of stolen!" said the soldier.
The guardian knight asked, "Who is the person to be executed today?"
"A little girl looks at most eight or nine years old. She looks very cute. But Lord Lohart personally identified that this girl has the shadow of the devil. You won't believe it if I say it. She can twist a good spoon out of thin air and make some small ice cubes... In short, this little girl named Scarlett must have reached a deal with the devil." The guard muttered: "Her parents couldn't believe this, and had cried countless times. The Monroe family was also a well-known wealthy businessman in the city. Unfortunately, this incident happened. It is said that the temple will thoroughly investigate their family and capture everyone who dared to trade with the devil."
"Oh, by the way, she also has an older sister. She is a nun. She has been trying to plead with Lord Lohart, but unfortunately this kind of thing is not something that Lord Lohart can decide. This is the rule set by Goddess Yueqin himself - heresy must be executed and no one can disobey."
The soldier said with some regret.
"Since that's the case, we must go over and take a look." The guardian knight said decisively: "Dispatch, Tros Square!"
The prison car slowly began to move forward again. Everyone who was already preparing to take action suppressed again.
"Ignorance!" After a long time, Dora said angrily: "What a shitty world is this to use stolen against a little girl?"
"When you heard the word "Shad" you should understand that Sowaha may not be an enlightened country." Lance said calmly: "If you have no objection, the next time is our appearance."
"I'm ready." Landry whispered:
"I will let these foolish and cruel guys know what the real devil is."
...
Baicheng, on the top square, a tall palace is built beside the mountain.
In the room facing the north, one old and one young sit opposite each other.
The room was filled with a strong smell of formalin, mixed with pungent herbal smell, which made people sick.
The boy raised his eyelids lowly: "Father, it's time to take medicine."
At this moment, a burst of cheers suddenly came from outside. It was the sound from Tros Square on the hillside.
The old man whispered, "Who are they executing today?"
"Scarlett Monroe, if you still remember that little girl, you should feel sorry." The boy said calmly: "But when it comes to speaking, you still hurt him."
"If you hadn't been two years ago, you secretly handed over the [Basic of Witchcraft] that only our family allowed to read. She wouldn't have been discovered by Lohat of the Temple because she privately learned spells."
"You did something wrong in this regard." The young man said warmly: "Father, let's take the medicine first."
"Your brothers and sisters, have you all gone to see it?" The old man ignored the boy's urging and asked another question instead.
The boy nodded patiently and said, "Even if they don't want to go, there is no way. What's more, my brother and Lord Lohart have been very close. As for my sister... you know the situation."
The old man laughed: "The temple is another temple."
"The entire White City is full of minions of the temple. In order to take the position of the city lord, your brother would not hesitate to flatter Lohart and give him countless benefits. And what about you? My smartest son? What should you do?"
"I am willing to serve my father all the time." The young man said humbly.
"Haha..." The old man smiled: "You are always so smart, like your mother. During the six months you served me, I asked me to drink a bowl of herbs every day. Each bowl of herbs contains some slight toxicity, but it is not fatal. However, after half a year of accumulation, this bowl in your hand may have taken away my life for many years, right? It's not like your brother, who puts highly toxic drugs directly in my breakfast, trying to get it done once and for all."
The boy's body suddenly stiffened and his breath became heavy.
The old man patted the boy on the shoulder and said calmly: "Go and bring that book."
The boy was sweating all over and placed the herbs on the ground beside him. He pulled out a book with a silver cover from the old man's desk and handed it to the old man.
The old man hugged the book and slowly opened it.
At this moment, a silver light suddenly flashed on the book!
The old man's breathing became rapid. He suddenly opened the book and saw a new piece of text appearing one by one.
In an instant, the old man's tears flowed down.
"I finally came. I didn't expect that I could wait until my lifetime..."
The boy frowned and glanced at the most dazzling words in the book.
I saw that it was written on it: [Revelation - Volume 2]
PS: Sorry, the update is late. Today is very, very tired... I can only postpone the update until tomorrow. I'll say sorry again.
