Looking at the people in front of him who were full of vigilance, vigilance, and even hatred for themselves, Wright was a little silent for a while.

He wasn't a good preacher—not even a good pastor—as he knew a long time ago.

He was just an orphan who had been picked up from the pyre, and he survived only by the kindness of the old abbot of the monastery, who had been a miscellaneous servant and servant of the monastery for the entire twenty years before he awakened the gift of the Holy Light, and he was not like those orthodox priests who had received a complete theological education, nor like those lucky enough people who were gifted and intelligent, who were able to learn how to deal with the intrigues of the upper clerical groups in a very short time.

In the year of the death of the old abbess, he felt the call of the Holy Light in his weeping, and the God-given treasure of "spiritual gifts" saved him from the fate of being reduced to the slave labor of the monastery after the death of his protector, and from that time on he took off the burlap garments of the miscellaneous servants and put on the robes of the priests, but he was still the rude and lowly miscellaneous servant in the eyes of all, he received the full education that a full priest should receive, and was strict enough to fulfill every code of virtue recorded in the sacred texts - For the old dean once said that those virtues are what distinguish man from beasts the most.

However, after he had learned all these things and turned them into his own rules, he found that he had become even further away from the other priests, and the teachings of the Holy Light, which he had attached great importance to, did not seem to be so important in the eyes of most priests of this era......

He knew that he was an outlier among the priests, he knew that the rules he had stubbornly followed were out of place in the eyes of the priests of this age, and he knew all the slander, calculation, and exclusion behind them, but he never said it. For he still believes at least one last thing: the Light is there to protect others, the God of Light is the protector of the world, and those who use the Light, even if they no longer value the classical virtues, are at least on the side of justice.

So he accepted the ostracism of the Church, which was the price of his "untimeliness", and he accepted the mission of coming to the South to preach in the wilderness without support, because spreading the gospel of the Light was what he was most happy to do, but he ...... You can't face the people in front of you.

Even in the most unsuccessful and difficult times of his mission, he was confronted with nothing more than the numbness of the people, but in the faces of these people he saw a real hatred and hostility.

"I'm the priest of Cecil Territory, Wright Aviken, you can call me Wright," the tall Wright walked up to the men and sat down slowly, "I'm the only Light Priest in this land—so you can think of me as the head of the Light Church here." As you can see, I have no weapons, no hostility, I have left the heart of the Church of Light, and now, I just want to know what is going on there in the Plains of the Holy Spirit. ”

"You burned down our church!"

A young woman shouted uncontrollably, but she was immediately pulled by the man next to her.

There are more than twenty people here, but Wright is only one, but these twenty or so people are extremely nervous - because they know that the priest in front of them is an extraordinary person, and the power of the extraordinary person is not something that ordinary people can fight against, not to mention that this priest still has those bulging muscles, even if he does not have extraordinary strength, the people on the scene may not necessarily be his opponent......

And there is an even more important point: this priest is the only priest in the realm, does this mean that this priest was sent by the lord to "examine" them?

They did not expect that they had managed to escape from the Plains of the Holy Spirit, and that they would still have to be examined by the priests of the Holy Light in this new sanctuary.

Wright could see the nervousness of these people, and he slowed his tone: "Rest assured, I only represent myself - I don't represent the lord, and at this moment, I don't even represent the church. As for the burning of the church, I heard rumors on my way that the priest of the Holy Light of the Plains of the Holy Spirit ...... Why burn down the churches of other denominations? ”

People look at me, I look at you, and finally someone speaks: "Because they have found evidence in the church that someone is performing cult rituals...... And the chief priest of the church did become a monster after that because of the magic that got out of control......"

"Then why were you banished? I can feel that you're all just ordinary people......"

"They forced us to convert," the woman who spoke first covered her face, "they lit the fire with the Holy Light and made us choose by the fire, if we take refuge in the Light and donate half of our wealth as atonement, we are not guilty, if we do not take refuge in the Light then we have to walk through the fire to prove our innocence, they say that the fire lit by the Light will only burn the guilty, and if they die in the fire, they are the minions of the cultists......"

The man next to him continued, "Some have been pushed into the fire, some have taken refuge in the Light, and we ...... Escaped early. ”

This topic opened, and these people who had been frightened for a long time seemed to be suffocated to a critical point, and they couldn't care about anything at the moment, and they all spoke about the hardships along the way-

"As soon as we escaped, they said that we were all bewitched by evil gods and that we were already incorrigibly degenerate......

"They burned down the houses we left in the city, took the belongings from our houses, and hunted down those who escaped with the lords......"

"We spent all our money to buy off soldiers and merchants, and ran south from the plain of the Holy Spirit—because the north side was close to the royal capital, where there were more ...... churches of the Holy Light."

"We rode in a carriage, then walked to Pitterburg, and finally were stuffed into the cabin like fish, hiding and searching between the barrels, and we could barely lie down to sleep—only a few people at a time, and everyone took turns sleeping......"

"Three people died in the boat and were thrown into the river......"

Wright listened quietly to what was happening to everyone, a pair of fists clenched again and again under his priest's robes.

He could hardly have imagined that this was something that his fellow church men of yesteryear would do...... Are those people crazy? Have the last of the teachings of the Light also disappeared from their minds?

Who judges heresy? Who came up with the idea of lighting a fire with holy light to identify evil? What is the atonement money?

After everyone had finished speaking, the scene was silent for a long time, until Wright took the initiative to break the silence: "In the city...... There is a small church on the north side of the mage quarter, and that is my church.

"No, I'm not going to force you to convert, I just want to tell you that if any of you get sick or injured in the future, or if a child wants candy, you can go there and find me...... I've always been there. ”

With that, the stout warrior-like priest stood up and left as fast as he fled, leaving the people in the shack looking at each other.

As Wright hurried through the streets and back into the church, he pulled out the letter from the headquarters of the district church and read every word of it—and now he knew what it meant, calling on the church at all levels to fight heresy.

After reading the letter, he was silent for a long time, and finally raised his other hand and rubbed it lightly twice.

A white flame burst out from the tips of his fingers, a slightly dim cloud of holy light, but still enough to ignite the paper—and after a few seconds, the letter turned into a handful of ashes that drifted in the wind.

Outside the church, a laid-back and elegant female figure who seemed out of place with the pedestrians around her paused slightly.

This is a tall woman in a lilac gauze dress, in the cold season of early spring, her thin clothes are very eye-catching, but the pedestrians who come and go around do not seem to see this woman, but walk past her one by one.

The woman, with the same lilac veil on her face, revealed only a pair of curious eyes, which were now looking in the direction of the church gate, which was now closed, as if she could see through the door, and chuckled softly as she looked: "Hmph...... Humans are really complex creatures......"

Then the woman withdrew her gaze and looked at the city in front of her, which had developed quite a size.

"Then again...... How did this place grow so fast...... When were these small buildings built, and when did these people come out......" The woman muttered as she crossed her waist, "Wasn't it all a shack last time!" ”

Just after muttering this sentence, a crisp exclamation that sounded annoying at any time suddenly came from behind him: "Wow! It's you again! ”

The woman turned her head in an instant, and sure enough, she saw the dwarf melon-like, half-elf, half-god-to-know creature standing behind her, and rather impolitely pointing at herself with half a frosting stick (a local snack) in his hand.

Then the annoyed half-breed shouted again: "And you're wearing the same clothes and veil as last time—are you so poor?" ”

Melita Pernia, a veteran agent of the Mithril Vault, a top service industry practitioner specializing in high-level clients, a well-cultivated and elegant lady, wanted to kick this guy out of the air again.

But she still spoke with a reserved and dignified smile in the next second: "I'm coming to visit Duke Gawain Cecil, please lead the way." ”

"Oh," Amber quickly shoved half of the frosty candy stick in her mouth and chewed it down, then reached out, "Six copper plates." ”

Melita Pernia twitched her eyebrows: "Didn't it three last time?" ”

"It's gone up, I'm getting bigger now, it's going to be twice as expensive," Amber said in a heartfelt voice, "You'd better make a decision quickly, maybe you'll have to go back and ...... up."

Half an hour later, Gao Wen, who was studying the mechanical design drawings in the study, was suddenly interrupted by a cry from the door: "Hey! Gawain! Someone is looking for you! ”

Gawain looked up sharply and looked at Amber in surprise: "How did you enter through the door...... Well? Miss My little pony? ”

"Long time no see, Lord Duke—and again, please pronounce my name correctly," said Melita Pernia, with a graceful salute, and a light smile, "I have brought with you the goods you have ordered. ”
