Chapter 119: Transactions in the Cell
"Have you heard? His Majesty the Emperor died on the front! ”
"What! His Majesty the Emperor is dead! ”
"Yes, there is no way, the incident in the imperial capital destroyed the logistics of the troops, the supplies couldn't keep up, and a lot of people died."
"Alas, it seems that you can only go to the king's seven gods, where are you going?"
"I'm going to go to Lord Gabriel's country of military industry, now that the empire is over, there are more weapons there, so it's safer to say anything."
"Okay, take care, I'm going to Lord Wenger's jurisdiction, which is farther away from the front line."
The two tattered men looked at each other with sympathy after these conversations, passed each other, and went to the right person.
It's been a month since the change in the royal city, and after experiencing that space gate incident, the imperial capital was completely destroyed.
As a transportation hub and the largest production of materials of the imperial capital was destroyed, the lack of logistics led to a complete collapse of the war front, the emperor's death made the empire has become an empty shell, in the face of the catastrophe, all people have dedicated their bodies and minds to the supreme god, driven by faith, the Holy See has become the largest power in the empire, and the divine right over the royal power is staged again in history.
With the exception of Doyle, the Seven Gods still claim to be their lords, but they have the power to protect their territory and enough territory to be called a small country, and displaced people flock to it.
The eldest prince has become a puppet and a tool of the Holy See to declare the will of God, while Elisa, the key of God, is nowhere to be found.
Not only has the imperial capital become a scorched earth, but also because of the powerful and deadly magic remnants, it has become a biological forbidden area, and humans can no longer live in it, and the people who originally lived in the imperial capital have all left their homeland and gone to the territory of the seven gods.
The heart of the empire is gone......
"Lord David, thank you very much for allowing us to carry out the Heavenly Punishment on your territory."
The person who spoke was dressed in a white robe trimmed with gold trim, a man of the Holy See, and judging by the number of retinues around him, his status was not low.
The man standing across from him was a middle-aged man who looked like a beast and whose beard grew like steel stubble up to his ears, and who might have exclaimed Wolverine if Felik had been there.
Although he looks a bit savage, he has a fairly toned body, and if he shaves off his beard, he will definitely be a beautiful man.
"Priest Daryl doesn't have to be so polite, now that His Majesty the Emperor has passed away, and Doyle is missing, the empire is all supported by our six gods and the Holy See, we must support each other, and only in this way can the people be cheered up again."
Although David said that he wanted to cheer up the people, he did not mention that Elbert would succeed him, but only said that he would cooperate with the Holy See.
Daryl can sit in the position of a priest, naturally he is not an idiot, he smiled, his old face was wrinkled, and he looked extremely exaggerated.
"Naturally, our choice to deal with heretics here is also carefully considered, after all, Lord Gabriel is still very young, and Lord Wengel is also a little old, and may not be able to take on the heavy responsibility, after all, even if it is one of the seven gods, it is quite difficult to support the entire empire."
Listening to Daryl's words, David smiled quietly, and he also understood what the other party meant.
As they spoke, the heretic was escorted slowly by the clergy, with a splint around her neck, shackles on her hands and feet, and the surface of the torture instruments were all engraved with inscriptions, and the golden pale light was as bright and dark as breathing, and wisps of white smoke rose from the skin of the heretic every time he touched the surface of the torture instruments.
That is a unique feature of the demons who come into contact with the spells of the Holy See.
Surprisingly, only half of her body would do this, the other half would not, and the half of her body that could activate the torture instrument was all black tattoos like rose vines.
Seeing the heretic slowly walking in, the other party kept his head down and walked forward silently.
David sensed something was wrong.
If it was normal for the Holy See to deal with heresy, the surrounding civilians would throw stones and curse, and insult each other by all means, but this time it was not, and everyone silently made way for this heresy, and even faint weeping could be heard in the crowd.
"What's going on?" David asked.
Daryl sneered.
"This guy just carried a few civilians out of the imperial capital, and he bewitched the hearts of those civilians, and everyone thought she was a good person."
David frowned slightly, and suddenly spoke: "Priest Daryl, there are still some days left for the execution, right?" Can you let me talk to this prisoner alone? I'm interested in her. ”
"Oh? Since you're interested, Lord David, let it be as you please. ”
When David was three years old, he got his wish and met the heretic in a torture room.
Sitting down on the iron chair, David wanted to be as normal as possible, because everyone was more or less nervous when they saw the king's seven gods, and he didn't want the other to be nervous.
"Well, can you look up?"
The other party looked up, and the woman's eyes startled David.
I have never seen a woman with such determined eyes, simply more resolute and strong than a warrior on the battlefield.
"Interesting, what's your name?" David asked.
"Is it necessary to ask the name of a dying person?"
"Oh, it's interesting to answer, since you don't want to answer it, forget it, but I'm curious about where you got that black tattoo on half of your body, and I heard that you once saved the people of the imperial capital, why?"
Somehow, David looked at the woman in front of him quite familiarly.
Walter sneered, put his hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and stared at the man in front of him.
"The empire is on the verge of disintegration, and David, one of the seven gods of the king, is bent on how to expand his power instead of defending against the invading demons, and at this moment he is still concerned about me, a heretic who is about to be executed, which is really laughable. Hum! Sure enough, without the seven gods of the king, Doyle will become a mass of loose sand. ”
Walter's fierce words didn't make David angry, and he suddenly remembered who the person in front of him was.
"I remember, you're the same knight five years ago, aren't you? A knight who stabbed his master. ”
David remembered the woman's expulsion at that time, and her eyes were not as they are now, her eyes were full of hatred and anger, like a wounded beast, and five years seemed to calm the female beast a little.
"I'm glad you remember me, but now I'm not even a knight, I'm just a heretic who has betrayed humanity." Walter said coldly.
"But those people seem to be grateful to you."
"That's because they don't know that I am the leader of the revolutionary army, and if everyone knew that I was the one who led the rebels into the royal city, would they show pity or anger to me now?"
David was slightly taken aback, he seemed to have discovered something amazing, this woman was actually the leader of the rebels, which he had never guessed.
A person who can lead an army to fight against the Imperial Army must have extraordinary courage and outstanding military talent, and she is even more valuable because she is still a woman.
"Do you want to live?" David asked.
"Even if you are the Seven Gods of the King, you will not let me live, and now the Holy See intends to let me be executed in your territory, which is a disguised declaration to show others that you have a good relationship with the Holy See, if you prevent this execution, it will not only lose the opportunity to cooperate with the Holy See, your situation will be quite disadvantaged, a careerist like you will not allow this kind of thing to happen, right?"
David was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly.
Such a clever woman actually saw through herself.
Originally, he just said it casually, but now he really wants to keep her again, with better leadership than men, enough vision and wisdom to fight for power, and there are also demonic secrets on his body, which continue to increase the value of the other party.
If she could be even better, maybe David would really give up cooperation with the Holy See for her, but if it was only this extent, it would not be enough for him to turn against the Holy See.
"You're right, you won't survive, but I can make your last days a little more comfortable, if only you could tell me the secret of the black tattoo."
