Volume 1 The Dragon's Death Prologue (2) Judgment and Redemption
Today, as usual, a ghostly fog filled the sky over the town of Bondesas, and the towering church of "Maidron" in the distance was still shrouded in a dim black fog, and above the dome stood three white-robed priests of the "Blood Queen Garmantha" party, holding crosses carved with "Blood Roses", staring motionlessly at the naked man in front of him, whose hands were bound with thick hemp rope behind him, and strangled with blood.
Everything is quiet, and the sound is loud.
In the distance, there was a circle of people outside the old tavern, all with their necks raised to look at the "sacred ritual", and from time to time someone turned around and let out a sparse sigh and sob. A group of undisciplined children huddled behind the barricade of the tavern, huddled together with their heads as if they had nothing to do with these terrible events, and even discussed with great interest that the bastard in the town who had bullied them in the past would be the next "lucky one" in the town to be chosen by the "Hell Yama Hades" and the "Blood Queen Garmantha".
"Great Queen Garmantha, your devout follower Salfrol and his disciples Chernov and Norseus, are here to judge this unknown fellow for you!"
The older, slender white-robed priest in the middle suddenly took a step forward with the cross in his hand like a hovering ghost, looking up at the black mist, and the two young cultists with blue faces behind him also followed him to imitate his movements, and the whole process did not make a sound.
Several knights standing in front of the church of Medron with silver swords at their waists, hearing the prayer of the white-robed priest named Salfrol, immediately drew their long swords from the silver-white scabbard, and then quickly adjusted their posture of holding the sword, those handles were straight up, I don't know how much blood was stained, and now the snow-white silver sword overflowing with cold reflected several silver-white shining armor- Those brutal followers of Garmantha were hidden behind the airtight armor, and no one could see their expressions behind the iron armor, but almost all the people of Bondasas could be sure that they were absolutely expressionless or hideous, because the wanton slaughter was done so much, it seemed that it didn't matter how many people died, even... There is even some self-evident pleasure after killing.
"This group of people deserves to be Gamantha's lackeys, they are really conscientious! I wish them a good time after their death with ha... Hades as a companion!" scolded a dirty, brown-haired boy in the pile of children, and threw a few stones that he was clutching tightly into the gray ground.
"That drunkard deserves it, and they can be regarded as killing the evil for the sake of the name this time, but yesterday they actually killed the old mayor of Augusto, what a beast!" a child cried out in a low voice after the brown-haired boy, his eyes wet red, but he shrank his head and sobbed when he finished speaking.
"Salfrol, the old immortal thing, was originally the Holy See bishop of the church of Maidelen, and we used to hear him tell the story of the drunkard in the Old Testament, but we didn't expect to be bewitched by this 'vampire' Gamantha!" Another child cried out indignantly, and pounded the mud grass viciously.
In the circle of people of Bondsas town behind the demarcation line, an old nun with a veil on her head kept her head bowed and silent, sobbing silently, and muttering some words of prayer in her mouth.
Ever since the Holy See Inquisitions, who were stationed here under the banner of "salvation", were in cahoots with the former Bishops and Catholics of the Maidelon Church, the old nun named Lomanya has been praying for the unjustly killed or unjustified death of the people of Bondsas Town, praying that their souls will enter heaven after being washed by the epic of the gods. When she heard the heartfelt words of the children with pure souls, she also shed two lines of turbid tears.
The old nun Lomanya walked to the few truly innocent children in this devastated town, leaned down and stroked their foreheads from the largest to the smallest in order of size, and with a voice of love that had been washed by purity, she gently "shh
"'Winged Archangel of Salvation'... Axacs. One of the little fellows immediately began to speak, holding the Old Testament wrapped in old brown paper in his hand.
"Oh! Van Schelle... Can you tell us about the story of Axachs in The Sonnets of Crime and Punishment?" the old nun clasped her hands to her chest with a delightful expression, and her eyes sparkled.
"The story of the 'Winged Archangel of Salvation' Axacus judging Hades, the 'Hades' who tried to rebel against the gods, and sealed him in hell with holy light!" said the old nun's child, whom Van Siel called with great interest, and glanced at the three white-robed priests holding crosses standing above the dome of the church in the distance, and wilted again, although he knew that the punished guy was a great villain who deserved it, but he couldn't help but choke with tears in his eyes.
The old nun was stunned for a moment, restrained her indifferent expression, and turned her head to look in the direction where the child had looked, and the group of knights of the Inquisitor standing under the church were collecting the dead man into the coffin, and the three white-robed priests were immediately kowtowing to the dome of the church, silently. The four knights of the Inquisition carried the blood-stained wooden coffin to the dark forest at the foot of Bondsas Town, and the three white-robed priests watched the knights of the Inquisition walk into the belly of the dark forest before getting up, and the Holy See priest Saalfrol seemed to have heard the edict of the "Holy Empress" Gamantha, and turned his head viciously to look at the two believers behind him, and the pair of "blood-colored roses" tightly held in his big hands The cross was almost deformed, his dim and hollow eyes suddenly stared like a torch, and he gritted his teeth and roared, "Didn't I say that this kind of sacred ritual cannot be neglected! Queen!"
In a moment, the black mist that shrouded the church of Medron was broken through, and a glimmer of bright and fiery light was emitted, but for a moment it was swallowed up by darkness, and the sky fell into darkness again.
Two more wails from the dome of the magnificent church.
The wooden coffins listed in front of the church in Medron were newly added with two bodies dressed in white robes, but compared to the original man who was declared to be "washed by judgment", the inquisitors standing neatly in front of the church did not transport these two wooden coffins to the belly of the dark forest not far away, but directly sent them to the sacrificial altar in the center of the church of Medron to cremate these heroic souls who died in the sacred mission, and the highest respect of the Holy See Inquisitors stationed in Bondsas.
After the dead silence.
The old nun with tears in her eyes was also sent to the Maidelon Church by the old priest Saalfrol, who now believes in the "Holy Queen" Garmantha, who ordered his subordinates to be sent to the Maidelon Church, and she was condemned by the "Blood Queen" Gamantha for the crime of "ignorance of the world", and she was also stripped of her clothes by the Holy See Inquisitors, naked all night, and bound to the cross of judgment with all humiliation, which was a terrible punishment that claimed to "cleanse the soul".
None of the bloody and brutal Inquisitors, who had killed the old mayor Augusto, in the pool of blood at the altar of sacrifice, and their current bishop Salfrol in Bondesas, dared to resist these "lackeys" who had been eroded by the "Blood Queen" , can only silently watch and bow her head and sob, but the old nun who has believed in the creator all her life does not seem to have any sense of dying grief, nor does she complain about the creator, but bows her head very frankly and silently, and continues to silently make the last prayer for the few remaining children of Bondsas Town, and she will use her life to practice, telling this group of brutal "cannibalistic" monsters that they believe in the "Old Covenant" and the heart of the Creator, Fromantigen, will never be worn out by physical destruction.
Before being sent into the "Endless Abyss" of the Church of Medren, the old nun looked up for the last time at the group of people of the Kingdom of Niex who were still gathered and sighed by the tavern, the group of people who still believed in the Creator Frommentigan and the Old Testament, silently looking at the vastness of the sky and the scorching sun, her eyes were wet and red, and she uttered her last prayer before falling into the endless abyss:
"May the Lord bless! The prophecy on the title page of the Old Covenant will be fulfilled! Gamantha and your followers, the day of your judgment will come! Good luck to you bastards, yes... It's ha... Dis forgot his legacy in the world... Orphans!"
