Volume 1 The Land of the Dead Chapter 143 It seems that the old man came
Let Wellman tremble under the majesty of the Sanctuary first, and let us set back the clock a little bit.
The carriage belonging to the Suzuka Chamber of Commerce was still traveling on the King's Road at this time, and the rhythmic sound of the horseshoe colliding with the marble ground attracted the attention of not only the guards in charge of the guard, but also the passers-by who passed by in a hurry.
After all, according to Vikz's latest curfew law, the city gates are closed after sunset, and they are not allowed to appear on the streets without reason, and violators are all beaten and flesh are broken, and there will be carriages entering Vikz at such a time, which is not normal no matter how you look at it.
According to their duties, this is the guard soldiers should come forward to interrogate, but the guards are not fools, they can recognize the big Linghua Chamber of Commerce mark on the carriage, anyway, a big chamber of commerce like the Linghua Chamber of Commerce has a fixed station in the city, after all, there will be no trouble, more than one thing is better than less.
The carriage continued along First Avenue and gradually approached the central neighborhood of Vikz, where there was a small square where most of the festivities were held, and which naturally became the place where the previous abbot of the old convent, Dilson, sacrificed himself to release the great miracle 'Elegy of the End'.
Calling the groom to stop the carriage, Roger also planned to pay a look at the 'holy ruin', but he only saw a tattered corpse hanging from the gallows, and a swarm of buzzing flies, and the flowers, masses, or devout believers he imagined would be seen here were naturally non-existent.
Since there was no excitement to see, Roger did not get out of the carriage, but stared at the slightly familiar corpse, and asked, "I wonder if the gentleman knows what crime the hanged man committed?
Originally, Gregory was leaning on the side of the bed and closing his eyes to recuperate, and he was a little stunned when he heard Roger's question, this Vicz has people who have been executed every once in a while, where does he have time to understand what everyone has done?
Besides, if he is sentenced to be hanged, it is nothing more than some rats who steal chickens and dogs, or pirates who are caught, and how can Big Boss Gregory have the heart to understand.
In the end, it was Andre who relieved the embarrassment in the carriage, and I have to say that the deputy of the Linghua Chamber of Commerce can be regarded as well-informed about these things, he followed Roger's line of sight, and when he saw the corpse, he smiled and explained: "I still know this, please allow me to explain it to Mr." β
With Roger's approval, Andre cleared his throat and said, "The hanged man was originally the sheriff of Vicz, and no one knows the name of this guy, and everyone calls him 'Lame'.
As far as I know, the lame has been in charge of maintaining the law and order of the Second Avenue, and he doesn't do anything all day long, but he doesn't do anything but make money in the hands of the merchants along the street, and to put it bluntly, he is the ruffian hooligan who was originally recruited to make up for the lack of manpower in the garrison, such a guy is not uncommon in Vikz. β
Seeing that Gregory and Roger nodded, Andre continued: "It would be easy to say in the past, but not a few days ago, because of the great miracle and the arrival of the pilgrimage procession of various countries and churches, the security level of Vicz has been improved, and the garrison in the city has also been expanded in the regular battle sequence, and the sheriffs with bad records like 'Lame' have naturally been dismissed. β
"I didn't want to hear that this lame leg actually hated because of this, and ran to the barracks of the garrison to make a big fuss. β
Speaking of this, Andre sneered, and spat at the tattered corpse from afar: "Speaking of which, this resting legion is also rotten, and it actually let such a mortal touch into the heavily guarded barracks, if it wasn't discovered by the guards, what would he do."
Of course, after being discovered, this lame leg was killed on the spot, and the Marquis of Somerset was furious when he heard about it, so he hung this person here to show the public, saying that it was a shock, but everyone still thought that this was purely hanging there disgusting Holy Light Church, and some people even speculated that the whole incident was written and acted by the Marquis himself. β
"Hehe, then this marquis is really idle. Looking at the crow hovering in the air of the corpse and retrieving the 'seed' from the lame corpse, Roger concluded with a smile.
After this little episode, the carriage continued to jolt along, but it did not take long.
Before he approached the old convent, half-asleep, Roger vaguely seemed to hear the noise of the noise, and cheered up a little, and the noise, mixed with shouting, gradually became clear.
You know, at this point near dusk, the streets are full of pedestrians hurrying home, and if they get home late, they will be whipped, so it is not easy to see such a crowded crowd on the street.
At Gregory's behest, the carriage stopped not far from the abbey, and only Roger got out of the carriage alone, declining AndrΓ©'s request to accompany him, and Roger came to the old abbey with great interest.
"May our Lord bless you, come, here is your vegetable soup. β
"Thank you, gods, can you add me a little black pepper?"
"My lord has mercy, the black pepper pie is shining, and I will add you another spoonful of soup. β
It was only to hear the soft voice communicating with the 'believers', and somehow, the corners of Roger's mouth rose slightly.
Looking at the straight line, the hot air at the front of the line, and the looming busy figure, even Roger had to admit that this was the first time he had seen such a ........ in his long life Well, the monastery of pyrotechnics.
Whether you are a ragged wanderer, a shy man, or an idler, whether you are in the future, in the past, if you offer the most basic devotion to the gods, even if it is only verbal, you can ask for a good meal here, even if it is only a hot soup and a black bread.
Seeing the slender figure with his back to him, Roger didn't know which tendon was wrong, and in the contemptuous eyes of everyone in line, Roger squeezed to the front of the line with stone skin techniques. Seeing that this rude guy was dressed brightly, the people who had been at the bottom of the society had to swallow their anger.
"I didn't know this young lady for a long night....... I'll go!"
Squeezed to the front of the line with difficulty, Roger looked at the nun's slender back, and the old-fashioned joke somehow opened his mouth, but as the nun turned around, Roger's jaw grew and didn't close.
So, when Lynn turned around, she saw such a strange man.
But putting down the soup spoon in his hand, Lin frowned, although she didn't understand the words that sounded like a gentleman, but she is not uncommon these days, Andles led people to teach them all a lesson, I thought I could be quiet for two days, but I didn't expect this to be another one.
Huh ~ Hu ~ They are all radish and cabbage, no, they are flies that can't be driven away, they can't be angry, they must be elegant, they must be elegant.
Reciting this creed silently in her heart, a very holy business smile hung on the corner of Lin's mouth, "Hello, do you want vegetable soup or hot porridge?"
"Well, actually, I ......" Seeing Lynn's familiar face, Roger, who had always been known for his articulate voice, didn't know what he was talking about for the first time.
"Hot soup, right?"
Without giving Roger time to react, Lynn didn't stop, she filled a bowl of hot soup from the big soup pot, and stuffed a piece of black bread into Roger's hand, and Roger couldn't say a word.
"May the gods bless your soul, this is your share, please don't cut in line next time, even if the gods are tolerant, they will not forgive mortals twice. β
In this way, this fly should understand, right? Lin admired her wit over and over again, and called the next person, who had already seen that Roger was not pleasing to the queue and didn't know where to get the courage, so the crowd left Roger behind.
Therefore, what appeared in front of Gregory's master and servant was Roger, who was still giggling with a broken bowl.
Handing the broken bowl to Andre, who was looking at him from Gregor inside, Roger laughed and said, "What's wrong with me, the world, billions of creatures, is it worth me to have one or two people who look the same? But why can't I speak? Hey, that's interesting......."
Lin is definitely dead, even if she escaped the turmoil in Tallinn, but no one can span three hundred years except herself, even if you break through the Sanctuary, of course, the elves hanging on the wall don't count.
After all, there is no such thing as soul reincarnation in this world, according to the mainstream, or the church, the soul of believers returns to the realm of the gods after death, and enjoys eternal bliss in the kingdom of heaven and God, as for those who do not believe, the views of the previous churches are not the same, but the statement of the past thousand years is to point to the dead soul underworld with a unified voice, and when it comes to the origin of the soul of philosophical thinking, the monks are very easy to attributed to the all-knowing and all-powerful gods.
Although he didn't believe in the church's rhetoric that donkey's lips were not horses' mouths, Roger also had to admit that life disappears and souls dissipate, which is the ultimate law of inconvenience between heaven and earth, and he may be the only exception in this world.
However, knowing that it was impossible, as soon as he saw that familiar face, Roger was itching, and out of thin air he had an urge to tease her.
"That'...... If Mr. Roger isn't interested, let's go back to our Chamber of Commerce first, it's getting late, and it's going to be locked down. β
"Ah, don't worry, don't worry, you should go back first, I'll wait to find you there. β
Roger looked at the busy figure and replied absentmindedly, he didn't even remember the address that Andre said later, which was enough to see what kind of mentality this guy is now.
