The poor woman was interrogated by the neighbors, as if the scar on her heart had been revealed, and at first she tried to prevaricate, claiming that the child was born and sent to the church for foster care, but she could not stop crying, and the painful, self-reproachful, almost mad look was so suspicious that some people even questioned her face if she had killed her own child with her own hands. The poor woman trembled with fright, and could not say a word of justification, which was tantamount to confessing the truth. ”

"Just four days ago in the evening, she was found hanging herself in the woods. Although the illiterate woman did not leave a suicide note, it is widely believed that she was atoning for infanticide. ”

"Of course, the matter can't be left like this, the rumors of the abortion for the peasant girl in You Fang Langzhong have spread far and wide, and people naturally think that it is all to blame on this despicable executioner, and a poor mother and son have come to a dead end, and strongly demand that this evil doctor be brought to justice."

"The Holy See has long since issued a decree prohibiting abortion, and has severely punished doctors who perform abortions as devilish believers, and according to the usual precedents, burning at the stake will be the fate of the wandering party."

"However, this is not the same as in the past, and the new trend of church reform originating from the holy city of Assan has also spread to the province of Primorye, and several young and vigorous reformist pastors in the city have come forward to defend You Fang Langzhong, which has angered the conservatives in the church, rebuked the reformed pastors for their deviant remarks and contrary to the purpose of the church, and strongly demanded that You Fang Langzhong be burned at the stake as an example."

Anthony drank the wine in his glass, and finally concluded in a cynical tone: "The situation has developed to this point, it has nothing to do with the mother and son who unfortunately passed away, and You Fanglangzhong is only the fuse of the struggle between the two opposing factions of the church, and his life depends on who of the two factions can win the debate, so you will see that he was burned at the stake all day without execution, because the quarrel between the reformers and the conservatives of the church has not yet been decided." ”

Roland listened silently to what Anthony said, and there seemed to be a fire in his heart that quickly rose. In his opinion, the whole thing was not whether abortion was illegal or not, nor whether You Fanglang was guilty or not, but what really shocked and angered him was that none of the two sides of the church involved in this controversy, including the local citizens who used it as a talking point, accused the nobleman who raped the peasant girl and his wife who bribed the priest.

"The rapist is not reproached for his superior aristocratic status, and the peasant girl who is raped is ridiculed; What a ridiculous world of black and white confusing right and wrong, ugly and disgusting, in the name of pursuing the truth, in which the desperate mother was burned at the stake and awaiting execution for the doctor who tried to drag her out of the quagmire of misery, what a ridiculous world of black and white confusing right and wrong, and so ugly that I feel sick! The more Roland spoke, the more he couldn't contain the anger in his heart, and he left the table angrily and walked out of the tavern.

Palatine and Anthony looked at each other and chased after each other.

"If you have something to say, why do you have such a big temper." Palatina chased after Roland and tried to hold his hand, but he shook him off.

"I'm sorry, but I'm from a small and remote place in the Far East, maybe it's rare and weird, and I can't get used to it, and I can't face it calmly." Roland realized that his tone was very bad, and it would be too unfair to Palatina to be angry like this, so he reluctantly suppressed his anger, slowed down, and took the initiative to shake her hand, "You guys go back, I think it's good to walk around the neighborhood alone and calm down." ”

"Don't lie to me, you don't want to take a walk, I know what you're going to do." Palatina leaned to his side with a stubborn look in her eyes.

"So you're here to stop me?" Roland asked coldly.

"You misread me, I don't talk about morality, conscience, or faith, and as a woman alone, I can't bear to witness such a tragedy! A poor girl and her child who were not born in the womb were ruined, and those who insulted and harmed them took it for granted, as if they tore a piece of straw paper with their hands, let alone be punished, and not even condemned by public opinion, let alone expect them to repent from the heart, how can you think that my heart is untouched, how can you arbitrarily conclude that I cannot empathize with the insult and damage suffered by Jenny? Do you think that the nobles of the empire are all such despicable and cold-blooded animals? I want to tell you I'm not that kind of person! ”

The more Palatine spoke, the more excited she became, her handsome face flushed, and tears swirled in her eyes.

Anthony hurried to catch up with them, and suddenly noticed the ambiguous atmosphere between the two, smiled knowingly, and tiptoed away.

Roland stopped and turned, grabbed Palatina's cold slender hand and held it in the palm of his hand, resisted the urge to embrace Her Royal Highness in his arms, and softly said "I'm sorry" to her.

Palatina lowered her head, her thick eyelashes fluttering slightly, showing intense emotions inside. With a long exhale, she tried to calm herself, raised her head to look into Roland's eyes, and said with restraint and firmness: "I'm sorry to let you see such an ugly thing, I don't want to defend my motherland, but instead of criticizing the injustice of the world, I want to do something real and bring a ray of light to this gloomy world." ”

"That's exactly what I want to do." Roland smiled slightly, "Now we need a plan of action, this is your territory, I listen to you." ”

Palatina's mood improved, and after thinking about it, she made arrangements: "I will visit the nobleman's mansion, you go to the Inquisition, try to rescue You Fang Langzhong, give him a sum of money, send him out of the city to escape, and then we will go back to the tavern to meet, and if there is an accident on the way, we will contact him in time by 'text message'." ”

"It's best to do that, so we'll split up." Roland took out a bottle of invisibility potion from his storage bag and handed it to Palatina, "Take this, you may be able to use it." ”

Palatina did not refuse his kindness, and immediately drank the potion, and her slender figure gradually blurred, and disappeared into thin air after a while.

Roland propped up his "Invisible Spell" wand and turned and walked towards the Inquisition, which sat opposite the Municipal Square. He had used the "Pupil of Destiny" to observe that the Holy See guards stationed in the Inquisition were all Holy Warriors of Pero, and their professional levels were all around five or six levels. With his current strength, he didn't care about this kind of goods at all, and entering and leaving the court was as easy as shopping on the street.
