Perhaps because of yesterday's heavy rain, the air in Varna today is exceptionally fresh, and people feel extremely refreshed when they breathe.

On the northwest side of the city of Varna there is a small square, which was built because of a festival that was the national festival of the Sbani Empire, the Bullfighting Festival.

The ox is an animal that can be found everywhere in the territory of the Spany Empire, and the people of the empire will not only use the ox for farming and transportation, but also select some sturdy bulls to fight with those fearless warriors, and over time, this sport called "bullfighting" gradually swept the entire empire, and even had its own festival.

Although it was not a bullfighting festival and the ceremonies to be held in the small square had nothing to do with the ox, people from all over the square packed the square with a capacity of thousands of people, and even the high walls of the square were full of people, many of whom had come early in the morning from nearby villages.

The reason for such a spectatorship is all because of the ceremony to be held today: "Light Festival." ”

You must know that the diocese of Varna has not held a light festival for nearly forty years, and many believers even believe that the reason why the city has been controlled for so long by gangsters and gangsters is precisely because the blue bishops in office at that time did not do their jobs.

If one or two light festivals had been successfully held during that dark time, and the eyes of the supreme god of light had been cast on Varna City, the gangsters who should have killed a thousand knives would have disappeared long ago.

Such an idea, although it may seem like nonsense, is very popular among the faithful of the diocese of Varna.

Therefore, after receiving the news of the festival of light, it is easy to imagine the fanaticism of these believers.

"Wow, where did so many madmen come from!" The carriage had just driven to the outermost part of the crowd outside the small square, and Leo in the carriage was startled, and hurriedly said to Darwin beside him: "Ada, hurry up and ask Viscount Juan to send a few doctors to take these madmen away!" ”

Out of concern for Leo's safety, today's Darwin did not choose to be a coachman to drive the carriage, but took his sword and sat in the carriage with Leo.

After hearing Leo's somewhat fussy words, Darwin gently opened the small curtain of the car window next to him, looked out for a moment, then withdrew his gaze, and said unhurriedly: "No." ”

"Why?" Leo pointed to the people outside the carriage who were yelling and screaming excitedly, and from time to time in various strange poses, and said angrily: "If you are sick, you will be cured!" These guys who look like they have brain problems, if they don't send them to the doctor for proper treatment immediately, there are so many other innocent people here, what if those guys kill someone in a while? ”

Darwin glanced at Leo a little speechlessly, and the Templar at this moment actually had a faint sense of intellectual superiority in his heart: "These people are not madmen, but devout believers. ”

"Believers? Reverent? Leo opened his mouth in disbelief: "Just these things that look like wild monkeys, don't have brains at all, and you tell me they're believers?" ”

"Yes." Darwin nodded seriously, and the expression on his face didn't seem to have a hint of joke: "And it's also that kind of particularly devout believer." ”

Leo opened the car window open a small gap, and looked at the guys in front of him who were either dressed in fancy clothes or shirtless, all of them dancing like bulls in estrus, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and quickly closed the car window: "Hell, it's not like I haven't dealt with believers in the church, why haven't I seen such a lucid guy?" ”

There was a sudden strange change in the expression on Darwin's face, but he immediately concealed it well, and did not let Leo on the side notice his strangeness: "People have been holding back for too long, and they always have to vent." ”

"Okay." Leo shrugged his shoulders, the expression on his face a little helpless: "I just hope that these guys who look half crazy don't make any trouble for a while." ”

Thanks to the church sign hanging on the carriage, the soldiers of Varna, who were maintaining order, immediately recognized Leo's identity. After a loud shout and a hard push, Leo's carriage entered the small square along the newly opened passage.

As soon as the door opened, Leo jumped out and began to look around.

The first thing that catches Leo's eye is the three huge crosses lined up in the central clearing of the square, and judging from the height of the crosses, it is more than enough to tie a person to them.

Of course, it was not enough to rely on the crosses themselves, and under each cross there was a pile of firewood piled up into a hill, which was not cut down by Viscount Juan, but brought by the agitated crowds in the stands around the square, which, according to an unwritten version of the Rite of Light, would have taken away some of the sins of oneself if one had been offered to the cross on the occasion of the Rite of Light.

Leo certainly couldn't have been unaware of this rule. It was precisely because he knew this regulation that the expression on his face at the moment was so surprised: "Damn, so many firewoods, one per person, how many people have to come!" ”

"My lord, as far as I know, at least two thousand people from the Varna Lords have entered the square, and quite a few have been forced to stay outside the square because they did not squeeze in." Viscount Juan appeared in front of Leo at some point, and stretched out his right hand to Leo with a smile: "I am not mistaken, the Bishop is indeed a punctual person. ”

Punctuality? I'll clean you up someday, and then you'll have to call me the one to clean up. Leo secretly scolded in his heart, but his face was full of smiles, and he stretched out his hand and held Viscount Juan tightly: "Where is it, you must know that Lord Viscount has taken care of you several times, how dare I be late and sweep the happiness of our lord?" ”

Viscount Juan's face changed slightly when he heard this, obviously hearing Leo is words, but he quickly changed to a smiling face: "Lord Bishop said that he was joking." Well, it's not too early, so please come with me, Your Excellency. After Viscount Juan had finished speaking, he took the lead and walked up to the high platform that was located in front of the three burners.

Leo saw at a glance that there were two seats on the high platform, obviously prepared for himself and Viscount Juan, so he didn't say much and followed Viscount Juan up to the high platform.

After the two of them were seated, Viscount Juan glanced at Leo, and then gave an order to Farindo behind him: "Bring the prisoner up!" ”
