Chapter 106: Faith
"Are you really not going to hand over that hunter to us? Don't forget how you promised us, the Bishop, waiting to see him. We can leave no other immortal alone, but isn't it a great honor for the believers of God that this unidentified hunter needs the guidance of the Bishop himself? I hope you will think it through, and when necessary, we will use the 'fatwa' to say things. ”
St. Jodron felt that his own patience was reaching the limit, and the blonde woman became more and more "rampant" when she returned to the place, and hardly paid attention to him.
"Oh? As far as I know, Oran is not a believer in God, and I am afraid that the fatwa you mentioned will not work for a person who has no faith, and I don't think the Lord God will lower his status to deal with a reckless man in the countryside, or if the church from the kingdom of God has always been so domineering. Is this God's will, or is it your own? ”
Lillian made no secret of her attitude, how could it be possible for her to hand over Oran to this group of man-eating fanatics who don't spit out bones. With the outbreak of the curse of the undead, many soldiers and even knights in the army have become undead, but Yanos's approach is more humane and just.
While the undead soldiers of Arnos will also be imprisoned, they will be treated with the respect and treatment they deserve as humans, and even if they end up going mad, they will die with glory. Moreover, this was only done after it was determined that the curse of the undead could not be lifted at all, otherwise the entire prison of Fort Sutton Lill would not be able to accommodate more and more undead.
Undead soldiers who die completely will be treated equally for battlefield death and sacrifice, even if their families receive the same compensation they deserve.
However, what about the White Church, it is a nightmare for all the undead, whether they are conscious or have gone mad. The church can always conduct those living experiments on the undead in the name of God and in the name of studying the healing of curses, even if the undead are considered dead humans, they still have pain and feelings, don't they?
And their research on the living dead is almost always focused on the undead who are still conscious, because then they can get the feedback they want. Until the undead are tormented to the point of madness by them, and then destroyed as waste.
Although Janos has done his best to wrest many of the undead from the Church, the Church's power is still not to be underestimated, and many of Janos' methods can be rendered ineffective in the "name of God" alone. As the largest, or even the only cult in the entire empire, they can even get those believers to willingly send their undead family members to the church at their disposal.
For now, the curse of the undead, which may affect the entire empire, has intensified. All kinds of riots, mutinies, and political unrest are not surprising at all, and the situation in the north is relatively good from all sources.
After all, compared to the densely populated hinterland of the empire, the population of the north has prevented it from becoming a major disaster. The living were in constant fear, and a curfew was imposed almost everywhere in the city, and teams of soldiers could be seen patrolling the city alternately.
But the curse of the undead continued to spread faster than the ruling class had anticipated, and the wars between the kingdoms almost invariably stopped, as everyone was now busy with their own minds, and was busy stabilizing a society that had begun to turmoil. If this situation is allowed to continue, it is believed that it will not be long before every country will get a result that is even more cruel than war.
……
St. Joderon was determined to solve the problem on his own, and the Bishop had given him a deadline. He will take several of his powerful men to attack Oran, and he doesn't even care if he is acting under the nose of Arnos.
The Bishop will also cooperate with his actions, and the Bishop has invited almost all of Sutton Lille's high-ranking officials to a meeting in the name of a joint wartime operation against the undead, so that Lillian, who has been with Orlan, will be able to support Lilian, a superior knight.
St. Jodron didn't believe that there would be any powerful people around Oran, and after his investigation, Oran was used to being alone, and he would not let those guards follow him at all. Moreover, St. Joderon himself has the strength of a superior knight, although he also understands that Oran's strength is definitely not weak, but he has more confidence in himself, and he also brought his own men for the sake of protection, isn't it.
Orlan knew that he was being targeted by some people these days, but it was ridiculous that those people didn't know that they were watching Orlan the beast instead. Orlan was curious about what method they would use against him, and he was looking forward to it for many days.
Early this morning, he was told by a familiar maid that Yulia was waiting for him in some alchemy shop, and told him to go directly to her. And as far as Orlan knew, Yulia did go outside to "shop" today, saying that she was going to find some rare alchemy raw materials herself.
Although the news that this is likely to be a trap does seem simple and rude, without any embellishment, Oran is still afraid that the other party will not set the trap, since there is a trap, how can there be less trap masters to observe it in person?
Orlan didn't bring any guards, and even Lilian had instructed a few of her men to keep an eye on him and Yuria's safety, but these guards knew that the silver hair would disappear in the blink of an eye, and it was obvious that such a master didn't need their protection at all.
Although martial law has been imposed throughout the city, the civilian merchants in the city still have to continue their lives and businesses, and a large number of Yanos soldiers are maintaining law and order, so there should be no small people who dare to be presumptuous at this critical juncture.
There were not many people on the streets, but it seemed that the atmosphere was not as warm as before, and there were hardly any children to be seen. There is always a worried look on people's faces, and the shouting of the vendors is rarely heard, and the hurried passers-by rarely stop.
Oran was weaving through the orderly crowd of people who came and went, but he was as unaware of it as a ghost. As we passed the church's cathedral, there were even more crowds of people who even knelt down on the thousands of steps that stretched upward, as if praying religiously.
Is it to ask their Lord God for protection? Perhaps for most ordinary people, God is their only hope, and disasters, sickness, and suffering can be resolved through devout faith.
Oran looked at the towering and magnificent cathedral without a hint of awe. But he has an understanding attitude towards the kneeling people, and he himself has the same faith, but only in his own strength.
