Chapter 224: Killing Chickens with a Knife

"So serious?"

Gutesian pretended to be surprised.

"It's worse than you think. If I hadn't ordered her to be forcibly locked in her room today, I was afraid that she would have come to the execution ground and the whole city would have seen our jokes. ”

Raphael smiled wryly.

"Imprisoning the Holy Maiden, this crime is not small, if you make trouble, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Your Majesty to protect you. Has the Bishop thought about this?"

"Of course I have thought about it, but what can I do, I can't really let her make trouble, I'm afraid that the whole Holy See will be embarrassed to come down. But don't worry, the imprisonment is only temporary, and I will release her as soon as this is over, and I will take the initiative to ask the God of Light for forgiveness. ”

Raphael's wry smile was full of helplessness, he couldn't understand that the Holy Maiden would speak for a group of blasphemers, just as the Holy Maiden couldn't understand that he would do anything to spread the glory of God.

"The bishop's willingness to sacrifice himself for the honor of the Holy See is admirable. Speaking of which, I really don't blame you, the saint is still too young, many times too naΓ―ve, the haze of this world is too serious, there are too many heresies and evils hiding in the dark, and it is not so easy to influence it with God's kindness alone, if you want the light of God to shine in every corner of the world, violence is indispensable, otherwise the Knights Templar will have no meaning in existing. ”

Gutsian looked into the distance and sighed.

"I thank the Knights for their understanding of me, and I hope that the Knights will be able to say a few kind words for me in front of the Paladins and explain everything that has happened here. ”

Raphael looked at Gutsian with a smile on his face. In addition to having a strong influence on those devout believers, the Holy Maiden is the weakest in terms of strength, but also the one with the most transcendent status, and it can be said that the symbolic meaning of her existence is far greater than the practical significance. But if anyone disrespects her, it is disrespectful to God, and if the other two giants turn a blind eye to this, and if any of them support the Holy Maiden, the disrespectful will not be able to eat and walk around. Therefore, Raphael still needs to obtain the understanding of the paladin on the premise of receiving the support of the Pope. And as a henchman of Des Hepburn, Raphael knows very well what is going on with the appearance of this holy woman, according to the meaning of Des Hepburn, the Holy See does not need the vase role of the holy woman at all, but the paladin has a completely opposite view, so the appearance of the holy woman this year is completely the meaning of the paladin, not so much the god of light standing behind the holy woman is more like a paladin, it is precisely because of this that Raphael carefully explained his distress to Gutesian.

"Your Excellency, rest assured, the teacher will not meddle in the internal affairs of the Holy See unless there is a major event that leads to a crisis of faith. However, has the Bishop considered that the Holy Maiden may be right, and that Benn is really innocent?"

Gutsian retracted his gaze and asked meaningfully.

It doesn't matter if Ben is innocent, what matters is that his death will help spread the faith, and sacrificing for the faith is the duty of every God's people. And through this punishment, the Holy See can on the one hand deter those who still have bad intentions, and on the other hand, it can lure out the magician who is hiding in the shadows. Isn't the knight elder also interested in that magician?"

Raphael's expression became serious, and there was even a hint of divine luster in his cold eyes, as if it was really a very honorable thing in his heart to be able to sacrifice his life for his faith.

"There are all kinds of people in this world, but there are not many people who will voluntarily send them to death. Are you really sure that magician will show up today, Lord Bishop?"

"Knight, I'm not as good as you in terms of knocking down opponents, but I'm far above you in terms of seeing opponents, since this magician was willing to sacrifice himself to save Ben and his wife, I believe that today will be no exception, what I'm curious about now is what kind of method he will take to save people. ”

Raphael crossed his hands in front of him, staring at the stake in the center of the square, with a confident smile on his face.

"Hope you don't let me down!"

Seeing Raphael so determined, a look of anticipation appeared on Gutsian's face.

"Maybe there will be a knight in a while!"

Raphael said half-jokingly.

"Do you still need to use a knife to kill chickens?"

Gutsian shook his long blond shawl hair and said in a disdainful tone.

"Isn't the Knight Lord waiting here to deal with this magician personally?"

Raphael asked curiously, this time Gutsian had come from Winston on a dragon, was it just to watch the excitement.

"Of course not, the magician who is worth my hands on has not yet been born and will not be born in the future. ”

An unmistakable confidence overflowed from every letter Gutsian bit in.

"Then why does the Knight Elder care so much about this magician?"

"It's not about caring, it's just curious. I heard that Terrence said that his magic was very strange, so I came to see the play. ”

Gutsien's expression returned to calm.

"Knight, the show is about to begin. In a moment, a boiling fire will be burning in the square, and the power of faith will drift to every corner of the country with the smoke of the blasphemers, where it will take root and sprout, and finally grow into a towering tree, which no one and no force can stop. ”

Raphael's eyes radiated a frenzied light, and he reached out of the red sleeve of his robe, and with a gentle wave, a drop of water fell on his hand.

"It's raining!"

Raphael admired the drops of water on his fingertips, as if they were the seeds of faith, which were now landing everywhere in the Higg Empire.

"It's a strange weather!"

Gutsian had long sensed that there was something unusual in the sky in the distance, but only now did he realize where the anomaly was, the clouds in all directions seemed to be surging towards the square, causing the clouds above the square to become thicker and thicker, and the clouds were getting lower and lower, giving people a feeling of dark clouds pressing down, and even the sky was darkening, but the sky around was getting brighter and brighter.

"What did you say, Lord Knight?"

Raphael didn't notice the change in the weather, so he didn't understand what was strange.

"It's okay! I just thought the rain was going to scare a lot today. ”

Gutesian smiled nonchalantly.

Theodore Benn was no ordinary heretic and blasphemer, and God's mercy had no admonishing effect on such heresy, and only the fire of light from heaven could destroy his filthy body and purify his wicked soul. ”

At the end of the conversation between Raphael and Gutsian, the priest finally read the last sentence aloud, and then he shouted at Viscount Benn with all his might:

"Ben the Blasphemer, your end has come, do you have anything to say to repent?"

The priest paused, as if waiting for Benn to answer. But Benn, who was tied to the stake, said nothing but a contemptuous smile at the corners of his mouth.
