Chapter 8: Heresy
Early the next morning, in Leo's Castle, a team of guards received an order to walk out of the castle early.
The city of Leo, with a population of more than 500,000, is full of trade roads, and a large number of merchants enter and leave the city every day. It's a bustling city.
On a street in the middle of the city, a young man in a white robe was walking slowly, and the young man's upright posture and outstanding temperament stood out in the street.
"This easternmost city in the Ottoman Empire is almost over, and this is the last stop on my itinerary, Nicole, and I will be able to take you back to the Holy City in a short time. The young man smiled. He was followed by a little girl of about eleven or twelve years old, short and ordinary, with a very weak sense of existence, she raised her head to look at the young man when she heard this, her eyes were different from her figure and appearance but strange and unique silver-white: "Brother Samuel, is the Holy City really that beautiful?" Along the way, I heard Samuel talk a lot about the Holy See, which made Nicole yearn for that place of light and warmth.
"No matter how much I say, it's better to see with your own eyes, the place of the god of light's affection ------ the holy city, where everyone believes in the god of light, and their hearts are filled with light, and the people of the holy city are grateful for everything that the god of light has given them, and there is no evil, no heresy, and no robbers...... Samuel said at the end, and finally stopped, looking at Nicole. Samuel breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that a trace of sadness flashed on Nicole's face, but it quickly dissipated.
Samuel recalls that when she first met the girl a month ago, a group of robbers destroyed her home and wreaked havoc in the village, and Nicole's thin figure knelt and cried helplessly over the corpses of her parents in a bloody mess.
"You are a saint chosen by the God of Light himself, and you will definitely be respected by everyone when you arrive in the Holy City. Samuel reached out and stroked Nicole's long silky hair, looked at her god-given silver white eyes and said quietly.
"Oh!" Nicole enjoyed Samuel's touch.
"Brother Samuel is the godson, and the future son is also respected by everyone in the Holy See, right?" Nicole suddenly opened her mouth cautiously, and she relied on Samuel, who was kind and close to her, and had a warm aura all over her body.
Samuel was stunned for a moment, "Haha, it's not certain whether I will become a holy son in the future, you must know that there are four godsons of the Holy See, including me, and the three of them are all likely to become holy sons like me." "The future saintess personally chosen by the God of Light is not bad at age, although she is cautious and wise, and she has already understood something.
"Brother Samuel will definitely become the Son!" Nicole said in a firm tone. In the past month, Samuel has taken her everywhere to promote the teachings, and the miraculous magic has healed many people who are suffering and sick, and has enjoyed a lot of gratitude from people. In her current heart, although the Holy See is good, but after traveling and living together for more than a month, Samuel's status is much higher than that of the Holy See that she has not yet understood.
Looking at the determined appearance of the girl Nicole, Samuel's heart warmed, and he shook his head with a smile and did not speak. It is good to be a holy son, but he will not force it, and everything will be decided by the God of Light.
The flow of people in front of him suddenly parted, Samuel frowned slightly, and a small group of heavily armed guards in front of him greeted him.
Samuel patted Nicole's shoulder and soothed Nicole, who suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed his sleeve tightly, showing nervousness, Samuel, who was still smiling, looked at the guards who came around with indifference in his eyes, no matter how many ordinary people came to him. They better not have any bad thoughts, Samuel thought.
"Is it Lord Samuel? The middle-aged guard in the lead took a few steps forward and directly called out Samuel's name, and his tone was respectful.
"I am. Samuel frowned, how did they know their names, and then he thought for a moment and regained his composure.
"I am Lord Leo's guard, and Lord Count admires your prestige and wants to invite you to the palace. The middle-aged guard replied.
Sure enough, it was the actual control of Leo City, so it should be easy to know his name, Samuel thought to himself. I guessed why the Leo family found him. I'm afraid it's not that I admire myself, but that I am the identity of my Holy See. Along the way, Samuel preached the teachings and did not hide his identity as a member of the Holy See.
"Yes. The famous Ottoman Count Leo also wanted to meet me. Samuel smiled.
"Then please come with me. The middle-aged guard said.
Samuel nodded, and followed the group of guards to Castle Leo.
In the castle, Arkon and his son received a message from the guards that Samuel had promised to be on their way, so they waited in the hall early.
In a moment, the figure of a guard quickly came in from outside the door, saluted and then quickly reported, "My lord, someone is here." ”
Arkon got up and walked out the door, and Arthur followed behind his father.
Following a wide gravel path in the castle walls, young Samuel walked slowly with Nicole.
"Hahaha, it turned out that the talents of the Holy See of Light came from afar, and the air in Leo's Castle suddenly gave birth to the sweet smell of light!" Akon said Samuel's identity as the Holy See of Light. The Holy See of Light is now very powerful, and the young man in front of him is said to have an extraordinary status in the Holy See, and he is not sorry for the status of the earl in this action.
"The Earl praised. We are the ones who disturb the tranquility of your castle. Samuel smiled slightly when he heard this, and his smile was like a spring breeze.
"Then let's go in and sit. Yakon waved his hand slightly.
Samuel nodded and was about to agree, but his eyes suddenly froze behind Arkon!"Heresy!"
Behind Yaken, Arthur suddenly felt a powerful momentum enveloping him, the killing intent in Samuel's gaze looking at him was like substance, Arthur's body couldn't help but straighten under the threat, he didn't notice that under Samuel's murderous aura, his body involuntarily swayed a black stream.
"Lord Count, you know that our Holy See and heretics are incompatible, please give me an explanation. Samuel's expression was serious, and he had the intention of killing if he didn't agree. is also afraid of being in someone else's territory, if he is in the sphere of influence of the Holy See, he will take action at the first sight of heresy. Sweep away and destroy all heresies, this is the will of the God of Light.
"You are mistaken. This is my own son. He's not a heretic. Yakon hurriedly explained. Then he showed a bitter face: "This is also the reason why I sought you to come to the door." We need help. "Originally, I was thinking about how to reveal the wizard's information to this young man, but now everything is settled...... Yakon's mind flashed silently.
Akon was ordered to go to see how a large number of people disappeared in his territory, but Arthur was ordered to go to check but was captured by the wizard and briefly told Samuel, but he changed the Anglie release of Arthur back to Arthur looking for a chance to escape by himself, and was injured by the wizard, and his skin turned into a strange gray color, and there may be a spell threat set by the wizard......
"Damn these heretics!" Samuel said angrily.
"Yes, that wicked and cruel wizard killed a large number of civilians just for experiments, and this is what my son has seen......." Arkon added as he looked at Samuel with a look of resentment on his face, but Arkon already smiled triumphantly in his heart.
"Are you sure there's only one heretic over there?" Samuel turned to the gray-skinned youth, who had a dark energy in him, but Samuel could see that it was clearly out of his control. Samuel had already believed Arkon's words for seven points.
"Yes!" said Arthur, not very well, Samuel had just wanted to kill him. The young man of the Holy See looked even a few years younger than Arthur.
"The Misty Forest, huh...... My lord, I will take my leave. The news of heresy has left me sleeping. As for the spell on your son, killing the wizard is probably the only solution. Samuel spoke. Sure enough, except for the rule of the Holy See of Light, do heretics in other places dare to harm the world so blatantly?
"Thank you so much, are you going to ask the Holy See for help?" Akon asked.
"Nope. I'll go alone. Samuel shook his head, "After all, this is not under the rule of the Holy See of Light, and sending a large number of people is easy to cause unnecessary disputes, and after a long time, I am afraid that the heretic will run away." ”
"Are you sure? That's a wizard...... Did you deal with it alone?" Arkon was in a hurry, this was not the result he wanted. His guess was that the young man should go back to the Holy See to call for reinforcements, and then destroy the wizard in one fell swoop. As for Nicole next to Samuel, he automatically ignored it.
"I've eliminated many heretics. Samuel smiled confidently. "If even I can't deal with it, then it will be possible to deal with it unless the three major popes or the pope personally take action. ”
"By the way, I hope the Count will lend me two horses. ”
"That's fine. Captain of the Guard, go pick up two good horses and give them to Lord Samuel!" Akon couldn't be persuaded so he agreed.
"This young lady next to me wants to stay in the castle?" Arkon finally noticed the girl on the side.
"No need. She followed me. "The nobles are a group of people who pay attention to interests, and after all, they have no firm interests with the earl, and Samuel is not worried about putting Nicole in Arkon's castle. When you go in search of heresy, find a place to house Nicole, Samuel flashed through the thought.
Nicole on the side also breathed a sigh of relief. Intuitively, the blessed earl didn't feel so good about her.
Not long after, Samuel took Nicole and left.
"Father......" Arthur said as he looked at Samuel's back in the distance.
"You go and prepare the supplies you need, the wizard has five maids and five guards, right? you go and pick them up, and you'll leave tomorrow!" Akon frowned, he was ready for the young man to be killed by the wizard. He was not optimistic about the young Samuel. "I don't think the identity of this young man is simple, you wait until the person who inquired about the news tomorrow comes back and hears the news before leaving. ”
"Yes. Arthur nodded, but a bad feeling suddenly welled up in his heart, fleeting, like an illusion.
