Chapter 36: The Blind Son of God

The royal capital of Alcaya, West Greenland, Joy Street.

Tonight's night is terrifyingly dark, but the street is still bustling with flowers and wealth.

The successive earthquakes did not stop the desire to be loyal to them, and the pink and yellowish glow took over the work of the moon, illuminating the area to the laughter of the people.

As if symbolizing decadence and obscenity, all places are hosting a feast of pleasure.

Theatres, casinos, balls, prostitution halls...... Whether you are a powerful nobleman or a penniless hermit, as long as you have enough gold, you can enjoy the ultimate pleasure of the senses and bring supreme comfort to the soul.

To put it bluntly, as long as you want, no matter what kind of happiness you want, you can buy it here.

However, on this very day, a group of strangers suddenly broke into Happy Street.

Whether it is clothing, expression, or purpose, they are out of place in this area, and they are full of a strange sense of disobedience.

A group of guards draped in silver armor, neat and beautiful, walked briskly through the streets with the rhythm of their breathing.

At the forefront were two clergymen dressed in white robes.

After recognizing the identity of this group of armor soldiers, as if Moses were dividing the sea, the lively crowd immediately moved out of the way, vacating enough space.

Even the big people who had a head and face in Wang Du subconsciously took a few steps back.

Although they are not necessarily afraid of this group of people, the strange and murderous appearance of the other party in such a place must be something important.

If you follow along, you might be able to see some interesting scenes.

"Oh my God, the Templar Judgment Knights are coming to Joy Street...... Could it be that there is some heresy here? ”

"No, it's definitely not that simple...... As for the area of Happy Street, the people above should have already taken care of it, if they just found something tricky, the people of the Templar would definitely not interfere easily, let alone the Knight of Judgment who has always been on the neutral side. ”

"Wow, it looks like something big is happening, it's really exciting."

The Templars were divided into three, two of which served as the pillars of Aya and Helyres, and the remaining side was the Knights of Judgment, who remained neutral.

It is worth mentioning that the previous Pope Sylvia was born as a Knight of Judgment, and the work of fighting the followers of the Old Gods and the Alien Beasts was mainly done by the Knight of Judgment of the Templar.

After a period of constant pace, the Knights of Judgment passed through the largest opera house in the capital, leaving the melodious orchestral music far behind, and in the depths beneath their feet were the extravagant underground casinos, no matter how noisy they were, to reach the surface.

After being dazzled, they finally saw their destination.

Rows of luxurious prostitution halls, dim and ambiguous warm lights, and sweet moans from all directions...... If you are weak-willed, you may become a captive of desire and indulge in it in an instant.

The armoured guards ignored the elven prostitute and smiled semerally, and under the guidance of the white-robed priest, they walked to the end of the street and turned into a alleyway with a very small entrance.

The moment he stepped into it, even the backbone of the Sanctuary, the Knight of Judgment, whose body and will had been tempered thousands of times, showed a slight surprise on his face.

The vermilion pillars, vermilion walls, and towering buildings form a significant contrast with the prostitution halls outside the world, and the thick red color gives people a sense of grandeur and luxury.

On both sides of the road, flowers are planted that bloom at all four times, and white petals are scattered on the stone-paved road, as if to welcome important guests at any time.

No one could have imagined that such a grand scene was hidden in this alleyway that seemed to be about to assimilate with the dark night.

In the face of the sudden intrusion of the Templars, the voices in the building were muffled, and the hedonistic customers showed different expressions.

Disgusted, surprised, playful, furious...... A handsome young man stepped out of the vermilion building, greeted him, and asked the priest at the front with a peaceful smile:

"All of you in the Church are here, and I don't know if you have any advice."

Although he looked breezy on the surface, in fact, his palms were already oozing with beads of sweat, and if it weren't for the feeling that this group of Judgment Knights were not coming with hostile intentions, he would definitely not be able to continue to remain calm.

As the manager of the high-end prostitution parlor in Happy Street, the forces behind Ted are ranked in the king's capital, but if there is a conflict with the entire organization of the Templar, even if the dispute can be quelled later, he will inevitably be held accountable for his bad behavior.

It was the tall priest who answered, his expression flat, neither arrogant nor humble, and told Ted what he meant:

"Our mission this time is to take a woman from here, in the words of Joy Street, it should be...... Ransom? ”

It seemed that even he didn't know whether the word was used or not, and there was a hint of doubt at the end of the words.

“…… Ransom? ”

Ted's brain didn't react for a while, the word redemption was not unfamiliar to him, even more familiar than ordinary people, but it was precisely because of this that he was surprised.

When this word comes out of the other person's mouth, the sense of contrast is too strong.

He recalled, affirming that the other party was talking about redemption, not purification.

Two high-ranking priests came to Joy Street with a group of Judgment Knights of Faith, just to redeem a prostitute?

Could it be that a gorgeous poppy was taken by the future Pope, so that such a group of people could come to Joy Street for a special visit?

If you want to eliminate the necessary heretics, the other party only needs to use the excuse of purification to kill them directly, and you don't need to talk about it calmly with you at all.

In other words, what the other party said is indeed true.

Ted swallowed softly, this message was more shocking to him than the previous accident.

The smile on his face became stiff and relieved, and he asked:

"So, what is the name of the person you redeemed? I'm going to bring her. ”

"No, she's already here."

"Huh......?"

Ted was slightly stunned, and was about to open his mouth to continue asking, when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind him.

Before he knew it, two people were quietly missing from the Judgment Knights' ranks, and now, the two disappeared Judgment Knights were slowly walking out of the vermilion building with a young girl.

Although the expression on their faces was obscured by the silver armor, the emotion in their eyes still leaked through the cracks in the armor.

Expectation, reverence, calmness, and, clumsy admiration.

Seeing the girl who was brought out by the trial knight, Ted was stunned for a moment, he had already been mentally prepared, but at this moment, a faint regret and unwillingness suddenly appeared in his chest.

The girl's physical condition seemed to be a little poor, and her knees trembled slightly when she stepped forward, and if it weren't for the guidance of the Judge Knight, she might have fallen to the ground in the next second.

"When we found her, she was being treated."

After bringing the girl to the priest and making a report, the Knight of Judgment returned to the ranks and became a silent member again.

A smile finally appeared on the priest's face, but when he noticed the girl's slightly hollow eyes, the smile on his face suddenly faded, and he asked:

"Your eyes...... Can't you see it? ”

Although he was asking the girl, his eyes were on Ted, and his gaze was so calm that it made people feel cold.

"Don't get me wrong, it's none of our business!"

Subconsciously, Ted's speech became a lot faster, and the smile on his face became anxious.

"We bought her four days ago and have been treating her for the past few days!"

Although there was no evidence, he was sure that if his answer had been a little later, he would have found himself in a very dangerous situation.

After confirming that Ted's explanation did not seem to be fake, the indifference in the priest's eyes was put away, and he looked down at the girl again, and asked in a kind voice:

"What's your name, can you tell me?"

"First ......"

Hearing the priest's question, Tang Chao raised her head slightly, and the feeling of weakness and chaotic memories on her body made her feel very uncomfortable.

If she hadn't become familiar with this feeling in this life, she would have fallen into a coma, let alone answering the priest's questions.

After searching her mind for information about her name for a while, she said the three words that appeared most frequently:

"...... Collette?"

Her voice was weak, so weak that no one else could hear the uncertainty in her words.

"Collette?"

The priest nodded heavily, and after imprinting the name in his mind forever, he raised his head to look at Ted,

"So, how much does it cost her to redeem herself?"

Ted hesitated, rolled his eyes twice quickly, and replied calmly:

"Although Miss Colette has a rare appearance, she was already dying when we took her in, so it didn't cost much gold."

"If Miss Colette's presence can help you, we'll be honored to share the Templar's worries, so of course the price is-"

"Don't take a penny."

The priest gave Ted a deep look, unleashed a spell to wrap Tang Chao, and returned with the Knights of Judgment.

"We've made a note of the kindness of saving Collette."

Hearing the priest's words before parting, Ted showed a complicated expression on his face, and after standing in place and sighing, he shook his head and returned to the vermilion attic:

"It's a shame...... I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. ”

*******

Chapel atrium.

A thin man in a linen robe stood silently, staring at the grapevines carved from jade in front of him.

His eyes drooped slightly, like a half-asleep old cat, and he turned his back to the tall priest and asked:

"Have you already let her rest?"

The priest bowed and replied respectfully:

"Colette Miko has fallen asleep, and I have arranged a suitable environment to allow her to be recuperated to the greatest extent possible."

The thin man had a gray dagger hanging from his waist, and his inconspicuousness matched his appearance and clothing, but no one dared to look down on him when they saw him.

Even if those eyes were still half-closed, they were as sharp as divine soldiers that cut through all things, and they breathed a deep cold light.

"Son of God...... Is her name Corlett? ”

The priest immediately replied:

"That's exactly what she said."

Carloman touched the lifelike fruit on the vine and said in a nostalgic tone:

"It seems that Lord Sylvia really spied through the loopholes in the oracle and found a reversal in it."

"Brave", "Madman", "Son of God", "Hero...... I never imagined that a long ago oracle would come true, and I would be a witness to it. ”

"One of the four heroes has appeared not long ago, if there is no mistake, it should be the girl named Aurora."

He turned to the priest as if asking:

"Although we relied on the clues left by Lord Sylvia to find one of them, the Divine Son, step by step, to be honest, even yesterday, I was still skeptical of this information, after all, it was really outrageous."

"You say, with the help of Lord Sylvia, we are still working so hard, how did Sara and those people find the brave?"

"If the inference is not wrong, they should have found Aurora many years ago, and they have been cultivating in secret, even the kid named Femon is just a smoke bomb they released, and when Aurora matures, the green leaf who is still a foil is specially defeated by her to build momentum for her."

"It's really well-intentioned."

Carloman sneered, as a loyal supporter of Sylvia, he was not used to such a small trick, even if it was not Aurora's intention, he would not change his opinion.

The tall priest pondered for a moment, then replied:

"Sara, when they found Aurora, her identity as a warrior must have not been proven...... That's what you wonder, my lord. ”

Carloman nodded:

"Yes, when they found Aurora, it should have been some time before the day of the oracle, but they have been preparing since then...... What is it that gives them self-confidence? ”

This question obviously will not be fruitless, looking at the priest who fell into silence, Carloman couldn't help but look up at the ceiling, and said to himself:

"The "Brave" has appeared in the eyes of the world, and the "Son of God" has also been found by us, according to the time...... the "Madman" should have appeared earlier than the Son of God, and if he has not been discovered until now, he should not be a child of the Empire."

"As for the "hero" ......"

"Well, since the most crucial step in Lord Sylvia's clue has been accomplished, then we just need to continue to follow the instructions on the message."

His half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and he drew his short sword and slashed at the ground, as if to prove his determination.

"At least, I can't let Lord Sylvia's hard work be ruined in my hands!"
