Chapter 173: Holy and Dirty
"What, Captain, do you know that magician?"
His subordinates were taken aback by Turner's somewhat grim eyes, he didn't expect his casual remarks to cause such a big reaction.
"Yes. Do you remember what I told you, two years ago, I hid in the Cyclops' lair with a human woman and waited for the elven prince Kronis to take the bait, but Kronis was successfully captured, but then the operation was sabotaged by a human magician, and I was almost buried alive in the cave. That magician is this man. ”
"Your Excellency did mention this, and it turns out that the magician who ruined your good deeds was him. Since this man is an enemy of the Holy See, and he happens to be under our noses, we cannot let him go. ”
"You're right, if you don't meet it, forget it, since he sent it to the door himself, I'm going to let him come and go. ”
Turner said with a gloomy face and a sneer, his strength is not what it used to be, and Lua City is the territory of the Holy See, clean up a magician, even if this magician is strong, he is also full of confidence.
"My lord, if you want to deal with him, I'm afraid you have to do it as soon as possible, otherwise once he leaves Luya City, it will not be easy to find him in the future. ”
"Hmm. In a moment, you will continue on the road with the team for me, and I will take some people back to arrest him. ”
Captain Turner thought for a moment, then made up his mind.
"My lord, since this person is an enemy of the Holy See, you just need to tell Bishop Dennis and let the church arrange for someone. ”
After all, Turner was the captain of the team, it was not appropriate to leave, and if something happened, he could not be held responsible.
"The fewer people who know about this matter, the better, and I will take him directly back to Bishop Garcia if I catch him. ”
Captain Turner didn't accept his men's advice, after all, it was a shame that he had been planted in the hands of the other party, and he had only told the people around him about it, and then he was suppressed by Bishop Garcia, and no one else knew the truth, so Turner didn't want it to spread.
"However, my lord, you are the leader of this team, if you want to leave, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, and Pollit may not agree, it's better to let me go, I'll deal with a magician." ”
"This man is not an ordinary magician, and he is very cunning, I and a few Cyclops did not subdue him at the beginning, this time I have to do it myself, Pollit can handle it, and then you can ensure the safety of the saint on my behalf." ”
Turner rejected his men's kindness, explained a few more words, and then turned to find Pollitt.
"Captain Turner, why aren't you on the road yet?"
As soon as Pollit saw Turner, he asked that they had just left the city, and that the journey was a long day, and that Pollit could not understand why they had not been on the road for almost half an hour.
"I have just received a message from Bishop Dennis that there are horse bandits in the nearby towns and villages, and that it is very dangerous, so I suggest that the Lord return to Lua at once, and that he has sent an escort and is on his way to pursue us. ”
"What? Dennis sent someone to chase after him, what can I do? Captain Turner, you have to find a way to stop them, the Lord has finally come out, and he will definitely not go back. ”
As soon as Pollitt heard that his worst fears had happened, he became anxious. They left Lua City secretly this time, and they were worried about being caught up by the church guards along the way, but fortunately, for some reason, there was no movement of the papal guards behind them, which once made them think that Bishop Dennis finally allowed them to move freely in their own territory, but now it seems that he thinks it is simple, but as a priest, he has no ability to stop the church guards, so he can only ask Turner for help.
"Don't worry, Lord Priest, just go on the road, and I'll personally bring some people to stop them. ”
Turner smiled when he saw his plan take effect.
"That's the best, you go quickly, don't worry here. ”
As soon as he heard that Turner was going to stop the people of the church, Pollit forgot to ask why Turner didn't send one of his men. But what he didn't know was that in fact, the people of the escort regiment had already learned that the saint had slipped away quietly, and immediately reported the information, but who knew that the head of the regiment De Yero was gone, not only did he not have a place to live, but he also turned over the entire station and did not find the shadow of De Hiero, and finally in desperation, the captain of the guard could only report directly to Bishop Dennis, and Bishop Dennis, who learned the news, immediately sent someone to chase back the team of the Holy Maiden, but because De Yero was not there, the deputy head and several captains were missing for many days, and several people who were temporarily supplemented because of the end of the celebration, either asked for leave, or went out to drink and have fun, and did not return all night, and the guards were not assembled at all for a while, even if a part of it is assembled, it is impossible to prevent the departure of the saint because the number is too small. Bishop Dennis was furious, but there was nothing he could do, and by the time the guards had finally gathered, the sun had already risen.
"Chase! You must chase the saint back to me. ”
Bishop Dennis shouted almost angrily, but just as he was denouncing the dereliction of duty of the head of the regiment, Djero, and ordering the guards to chase the saint, one of the guards ran in from outside the church in a panic and told him that something was wrong in the square in front of the church, and that he did not care about arranging the pursuit of the saint and ran away with the people.
After separating from Steven, Alan walked in the direction of the center of the square, and he suddenly missed the feeling of attending Mass that day, the feeling of spiritual solace and forgetting all sadness and trouble, but he shook his head again to dispel this thought, thinking of the filthy inner part of the hypocrisy of the Holy See.
In the early morning, the central square was quiet, and there were only a few people in charge of cleaning the square in the vicinity to clean up the garbage left by the celebrations, and there was a group of believers visiting in the distance, and of course, there were a few people lying on the ground near the square in the name of the celebration, drunk and using the ground as a bed.
In front of the statue of the gods of light, Alan stood for a long time, until the rising sun sprinkled the first light on the statue, and the golden luster made the wings behind the statue covered with a layer of holy brilliance, with a kind of sacred and inviolable awe-inspiring might, but at this time, Allen's heart was not only not shocked by this sacred sight, but sneered.
The statue that shines on the surface and gives a sense of holiness and warmth is in essence nothing more than a cold stone without any emotion, and this is not precisely the best footnote to what the Holy See is doing at present! A power institution that hides the blood and filth within, with the holy cloak of the doctrine of the God of Light.
