Chapter 172: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
"Thank you, young man! The Holy See is the benefactor of Lua, when Bols rebelled, many people accepted their favor, they are the spokesmen of the gods in the world, and we, as God's people, only have the obligation to obey, not the right to resist. ”
The old man shook his gray hair and said from the bottom of his heart.
"Why does the old man have this idea? Doesn't the God of Light always teach lifelong equality, and doesn't the teachings of the God of Light also advocate mercy?"
Hearing the old man say this, Alan realized that the old man was actually a devout believer. But even believers can't be bullied by the church, right?
"Young people, you should go to church more often, listen to the preaching of the pastors, God's servants are acting in God's will, God will not make mistakes, God's servants will not do wrong, even if they do wrong, and God will punish him, we as God's people just need to support them in everything. ”
Alan didn't expect the old man to say such a thing, which proves that the old man didn't dare to seek justice, but he didn't want to do it at all, the Church of Light was sacred in his eyes, and no matter what he did, it was right, which seemed to be a pious and awe-inspiring belief, but Alan had a creepy feeling when he listened to it.
Just as Alan was shocked by the old man's answer, the carriage in the middle of the line happened to pass by the two men, and the curtain of the carriage was gently lifted, revealing the beautiful face of a young girl.
"Lord, this is the old man. ”
Pollit followed beside the carriage, and he pointed to the figure of the old man and said to the girl in the carriage. The girl nodded when she heard this, did not speak, just waved her hand gently, and a white light fell on the old man's body. This is the secret technique of the Holy See-healing technique, and when the white light envelops the old man, the wound on his forehead, which was already half healed, is immediately healed.
Alan noticed the strangeness of the old man, and he looked up at the carriage, but the curtain of the carriage had been lowered again, isolating the girl inside. The old man had fallen to his knees in excitement and kowtowed to the departing carriage.
"Great God of Light, thank you for your love for your humble and devout believers. ”
In the old man's singing praises, the convoy gradually moved away, heading in the direction of the city gate, seeing that this matter was over, Alan was no longer entangled, he said goodbye to the old man, and continued to walk towards the city center.
"Steven, what's wrong with you?"
Alan walked a few steps, only to find that Steven did not follow, still staying in place, looking at the distant papal team in a daze.
"Steven?"
Seeing that Steven didn't react, Alan shouted a second time.
"No... I just think the Holy See does have a knack for brainwashing. ”
Steven finally reacted.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Alan could see that Steven's face was a little pale.
"It felt a little cold, but it was fine. Brother-in-law, I suddenly remembered something, so I'll go back to the warehouse first. ”
"Do you want me to go back with you? ”
Alan was a little uneasy.
"No, I don't. Brother-in-law, Quaker is protecting me, and it's going to be fine. ”
Steven pointed to the side of the street not far away, where Quake and a few men were looking this way.
"It's okay, you take Stanny and them out of the city immediately after you go back, I'll go out of the city directly after I walk around, let's see you at the post station outside the city." ”
After a period of observation, Eren has gradually dispelled his initial doubts about Quake.
"Good!"
Steven agreed, turned around and hurried towards the way he came, and Quake on the side of the street immediately followed.
Turning the corner, where Alan couldn't see, Steven stopped and waved at Quake.
"What's the matter, master. ”
Quake and his men have been following Steven, secretly protecting his safety, so as soon as he saw Steven's gesture, he immediately leaned over.
"Kill someone for me, at all costs. ”
Steven's face sank like water, and he said in a cold tone.
"Yes, master. Who is the target?"
Quake first agreed, and then asked about his target.
"You should be careful in the future, this is not Vanston, and the Lord is not Bishop Garcia, you can't be too domineering, otherwise I won't be able to protect you. ”
Turner led his men to leave the city of Lua in a protective carriage, and this time they were destined for some villages and towns two hundred miles north of the city, where the saint was going to investigate the Church's missionary situation there. After leaving Lua, the party rested for a while outside a post station outside the city, and on this occasion, Turner called the knight who had knocked down the old man to his side and reprimanded him.
"Captain, I see. ”
Although the knight was a little unconvinced, he still agreed respectfully on the surface, and added casually:
"Captain, that guy seems to be a magician. ”
"Who is a magician?"
Turner didn't figure out what his men were trying to say.
"Just now when I bumped into the old man in the city, a young man helped the old man up, and he wiped his hand on the old man's head to stop the bleeding. ”
Allen's actions at that time were very secretive, but he didn't expect to be discovered by the knight who was keeping an eye on the old man's situation.
"Are you sure?"
"Sure, I've seen him cast spells with my own eyes, and I can tell he's not using our healing techniques, it's supposed to be water magic, and the strangest thing is that I didn't hear him recite magic spells at all, as if he didn't use spells at all. ”
The knight added.
"A magician who doesn't recite magic spells?"
As Turner read the words slowly in a questioning tone, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, illuminating an unpleasant but unforgettable memory.
"A magician who doesn't recite spells? I remember, I've seen this man, yes, it's really a narrow road!"
Turner's slightly narrowed eyes shone with hatred. He has always felt that he and the other party are familiar after seeing the young man who rescued the old man in the city, but he has seen too many people, and it is not strange that he can't remember it, but now he heard that the identity of the other party is a magician, and he has not seen many magicians, and even fewer can leave an impression on him, as for the only one who can cast a spell without reciting a spell, that is, Allen, who successfully rescued the elven prince Kronis and others in his hands and sealed him and his men in the cave of the cyclops. If Cardinal Garcia hadn't suppressed the matter afterwards, he was afraid that Turner would have been severely punished by the Holy See, so this hatred has been buried in his heart and has not forgotten, but he never thought that he would meet his original enemy in Lua City, so he didn't think of Alan in the first place.
