Chapter 141: Mobilization of the Whole People

"Yes!" Regel hurriedly said loudly, his unusually excited look showing his determination: "You must catch him." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info My faithful servants, cheer up, and after dinner we will go to arrest the wizard, and if he behaves well, I will make him a knight, and help him buy him the best Milanese armor, with a complete set of shields; And the best warhorses and swords. ”

This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm, canonized as a knight, with a complete set of equipment, the value is different. The thugs, who were extremely depressed and frightened, suddenly came back to life and began to prepare.

The livestock shed was also burned, but fortunately, the horses were taken away by Cheng Qianxun and them in advance, but a sheep was choked to death by smoke before they had time to pull it out. So I simply peeled it and roasted it on the fire as everyone's breakfast.

While the thugs were roasting the sheep, the four entered the house and dug out a box of money under the floor of the study. Because it is buried in the ground, the copper coin does not melt.

The hired servant was also dutiful, salvaging the armor when it caught fire, so it was intact.

After everyone had eaten all the mutton, the money was placed in the saddle, and Regel held the money box.

"Let's go!" Rudolph, dressed in armor, gave the order, and everyone set off for the church.

When they arrived at the church, the friars came out to greet them, after all, they were numerous, and they were sword-wielding, and they all served in the church.

"Lord Lord, what is the matter?" The first one was quite polite, and even played haha: "Is it that the clergy possessed by the devil has been found in the church again?" ”

"We're sorry about what happened the day before yesterday. Here's a little respect, please smile! Regel motioned for the box to be taken down, and immediately a thug stepped forward to flatteringly and brought the box to the ground: "Open it." ”

After opening it, a box full of money made the eyes of these clergy widen.

"I'll pay for the firewood, I don't know if these 2,000 copper coins are enough?" Regel asked pretending to be generous.

"Enough, enough!" After all, the money used to be made by the fat monk who burned to death, and these apprentices have never seen so much money. It was too late to nod his head quickly, and he quickly drew a cross on his chest: "Oh, lord, your generosity shows your loyalty to the gods. ”

It was almost time to get down to business, Sneijder said in a strange manner, "But we were retaliated by the devil, and even the house was burned down by the accomplices and stealth wizards." We are extremely angry about this! ”

In fact, you should know this, the fire can be seen from a hill.

So the thugs next to him began to describe the horror of invisible wizards, killing dogs, burning houses, and attacking them. The more you talk about it, the more evil it becomes!

"Do you hear that?" Regel pretended to be very angry, and of course he had to add a key reward: "Many people have seen the stealth appearance of this wizard and can testify to it." Think about it, if the invisible wizard is eliminated, it will be a great credit to the Bavarian cardinal, or even to the Vatican pope. At that time, he may be promoted to the position of bishop of this area. And I will give the greatest or even full support in terms of funding! ”

With political achievements, coupled with financial support, it will not be a dream to become a regional bishop, and it will even be sent to other places to become a cardinal.

One of the apprentice monks' eyes immediately lit up, drew a cross on his chest, and said sternly: "Our church will never tolerate this happening, we will announce it later, whoever can kill or catch the invisible wizard, we will inform the church and give the sage the title; And he will be praised by the gods, and after death he will be connected to heaven by angels. If anyone can report reliable news, then all his sins will be forgiven! ”

"Yes, yes! No toleration. The others chimed in. Anyway, kill the stealth wizard first, and then the credit will be on whose credit.

Don't underestimate this kind of ridiculous words to modern people, but in medieval Europe, it was even more steel than a holy decree. For the sake of the title of sage, someone can go without taking a bath for the rest of their lives and let maggots crawl on their faces, which shows how great the power of faith is. There were times when there was a conflict between the church and the imperial power, and the result was that the queen and the emperor compromised and sat on the throne.

"Very well, I'll go to the village now and mobilize everyone to catch the wizard. I think with the support of the church, I will be able to catch this devil! Farewell, future cardinals! Before Legel left, he didn't forget to stimulate these people.

At least these monks will be busy dreaming of becoming cardinals for the time being, and will not write letters of confirmation or denunciation. These impostors, as long as they are checked, they will be exposed. By the time we know that they are counterfeits and will not give any more money, everything is settled and the game is over!

Before I arrived in the village, when I saw the dilapidated wooden houses from afar, a foul smell rushed to my face.

There was manure on both sides of the road and even in the middle of the road, both livestock and people. Sure enough, open defecation was the custom of the Middle Ages, and they did not have the consciousness of using these to fertilize the fields. He even thought that how could this kind of filth fertilize the fields, and that the crops that grew in the ground could eat the dead.

Cheng Qianxun couldn't bear it anymore and covered his nose with his hands.

The thugs shouted loudly in front: "Lord Lord, you have an order, catch and kill the invisible wizard, and the bounty is twenty coins!" ”

Under the extreme temptation of being knighted and a complete set of knight equipment, these thugs roared loudly even if their voices were hoarse.

Twenty gold coins! There was a sensation, and all those who were hiding in the houses ran out and stood in front of the wooden or grass huts without doors. Whether they are gray-haired or just walking, their hair is ragged and full of lice. As long as they could understand, their eyes widened, their mouths slightly open, and they probably thought they were dreaming. Did you hear that right, twelve gold coins?

Rudolph added: "From now on, the tax exemption will be half a year, and if you can't catch the invisible wizard, the tax will be doubled next year!" ”

"Coax~!" Now all the old and young people standing at the door ran back to the house to get ropes and sticks... What's there, go out and catch the stealth wizard. It's late autumn, and there's no need to farm. If you can't catch next year's taxes, you can double them. The money left over from the tax is not enough to make ends meet, and doubling it is only a dead end.

So be sure to catch this wizard and kill him. Kill the wizard and get twenty gold coins, become a lord from now on, step into the ranks of nobles, have someone to serve every day, eat enough, no longer have to gnaw grass and live!

There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and the effect is really good, and the whole village is boiling. There are also farmers who have a good relationship and begin to discuss teaming up to catch the wizard together, and the bounty will be divided equally. Not only adults, but also women and children are rolling up their sleeves and ready to do a big job!

And their goal is to make Jeffrey a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats him.

After mobilizing, the four left the village and rode back to the hunting grounds. Let's just say that the house was burned, and I went to stay with relatives in the city for a few days, but I will come back at any time.

They have already walked out for half a mile, and they can still hear the noise and shouting in the village behind them; They are all forming gangs and shouting slogans, and it is as lively as a festival.

When he returned, Rudolph was still careful to watch for footprints on the road behind. From time to time, I rode back to check, for fear that Jeffrey would follow.

There is an invisible person lurking around, and that is the most terrifying thing, and I don't know when I will be assassinated.

After an hour or so, I returned to the wooden house. Rudolph led the horse to the stable, and the others began to get busy with dinner.

There was still a lot of reindeer meat brought by Legel, and the weather turned cold, the meat did not spoil, and after cutting it, it began to cook soup and roast.

Cheng Qianxun scooped the soup in the pot with a spoon from time to time to prevent it from sticking to the bottom, and looked at the sky outside that was starting to darken: "It's best to be cold tonight, the colder the better!" ”

"I still want it to snow." Sneijder said, he and Regel were roasting meat.

"There won't be snow tonight!" Rudolph, who had put his horse away, walked in and closed the door: "The clouds are white and not thick. ”

"Even if it rains." Regel said casually.

When it rains and snows, it gets colder and colder when you get wet. And the ground is muddy, which can leave footprints.

"I hope someone else is unlucky!" Cheng Qianxun sighed slightly, and said with a heart: "Look back, how did I become like this?" ”

Rudolph sat down at the wooden dining table, took out a knife and began to cut a branch: "Because of the environment! Now it's the same as when I used to work, if the other person doesn't die, you will die. ”

This is the reality, the environment forces people to hope that their opponents are unlucky, and they are forced to kill people, and the environment in which the villagers talk about it also makes them relishish when they watch witches or wizards, and they are willing to report and expose and benefit from it.

Cheng Qianxun picked up the spoon and spun around in the soup pot again. The pot here is different from the pot in the future, it is very flat, and it can't hold much food, which shows the lack of food.

She took a deep breath and secretly hoped that in the future, she would only kill those who should be killed, and never point the knife at her teammates.

But who should be killed, and who should not be killed... I can't help but ask. None of us are gods, nor Satan, and this kid Jeffrey is actually here to live. It's just that he made the wrong move and forgot the importance of the team, which caused everyone to turn their knives at him.

Cheng Qianxun hurriedly shook his head, not daring to think too much. If it goes on, her humanity may also be wiped out little by little, and everything will be realistic and abnormal, without a little emotion; became a terrible character who kills people without blinking.

After a while, Rudolph poked the sharpened branch hard at the table, and although the branch was broken, there was a deep hole in the table. If the table was human, it might have been poked in. He proposed, "Tomorrow we'll get some traps around." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, Jeffrey would kill their traps, and they could get some tricks against him. If he couldn't stay in the village, the only place he could escape was the forest. As long as he doesn't die, he will come sooner or later, and now he has to start preparing.

The barbecue is very fragrant, but you can get tired of eating too much. But everyone still eats a lot and has a good appetite. After eating this meal, who knows if there is a next meal, maybe the head of the meal may not be there. Only in the midst of a crisis can people feel how comfortable it is to live a stable life.
