Chapter 360: Scapegoating
"Heresy!"
With a roar from the half-angel, all the knights rushed towards Is.
Countless people couldn't avoid staying away from this area, and there was actually a cultist hiding among them, which was really terrifying!
The middle-aged woman also wanted to run away with her son, but was inexplicably pushed by the person in front of her.
She hurriedly took her son in her arms, and although both fell to the ground at the same time, the boy was not injured, but she stumbled on the foot of the stool and snorted.
Not only her, but there were at least seven or eight people in this corner where Iss sat who had been abandoned by their so-called parishioners.
The angel's gaze fell on this area, which one was a heretic, and how many heretics there were, no one knows. The best thing to do is to get rid of all the suspects, and the rest will be safe.
"Sir, you ......"
Pastor Dia took a small step back, this place was full of his familiar parishioners, only the man in front of him was here for the first time.
Although he didn't want to believe that this brother who claimed to believe in the Light could be an evil heretic, since God had sent an angel to identify him personally, it ......
"Catch him!"
A feather fell from the angel's back and turned into a golden arrow in mid-air, shooting at the head of an emaciated man behind Iss.
With a bang, the golden light splashed everywhere, and the man was unharmed, even with an innocent expression on his face, as if he didn't understand why the angel suddenly pointed the spearhead at him, and what was the matter with the golden light that had just exploded.
"Angel ...... I, I'm not, I don't have ......"
The man stood there with a wincing, and he looked around to see that everyone around him was looking at him with angry and frightened eyes, and finally had to give Dia a pleading look at Is's side.
"Mr. Simon, what the hell is going on?!"
Dia knew this man, a messenger who worked for the Imperial Post Office.
Every weekend, Simon. Oliver would come to pray for the prayers, rain or shine.
Sometimes Dia would go to the slums to preach and see this kind young man holding discarded newspapers and teaching poor children who couldn't go to school.
But he's actually a cultist?
The Holy Light is above, the Holy Light is above, this is disgusting, it is terrible!
There was a look of disgust in the pastor's eyes, and the look was exactly the same as that of the congregants around him.
Simon read Dia's thoughts, and he took a step backwards with a pale face, falling into the Templar encirclement.
"Take him away!" The knight in the lead said.
But before the knights could carry out their orders, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Kill him!" ”
"Yes, kill him, kill him!"
"He's a liar, I see that he wants to turn my son into a cultist too!"
"And my little Andy, oh my God, angels, you must save my child, he is innocent!"
All of a sudden, the crowd was excited. From Simon. After Oliver was identified as a cultist by the halfling angel, everyone's attitude towards him changed dramatically.
Simon saw that the old George he had helped actually spat at him.
The woman who was crying for help was a widow in the slums, and her son Andy had dropped out of school after losing his father, and it was he who had taught him and several other children to read and write when he had free time.
Literate boys are more likely to please craftsmen than illiterate boys, and it is always better to steal and rob them as apprentices.
But these people, these people he had helped in order to draw a clear line between him and them, actually asked the knight to execute him directly!
At this moment, Simon. Oliver's years of faith collapsed, and he didn't even argue to the crowd before allowing the knights to carry him into the depths of the church.
The threat is lifted, and the angel is transformed back into a stone statue.
But what happened here spread to the capital, Lehman, and the entire world of gods as the believers left.
"I'm sorry Mr. Davis, forgive me for thinking you were ......"
Dia sent Isis out of the door with a look of shame.
Looking at Pastor Dia, who still had an apologetic look on his face, Iss suddenly asked, "Do you know that man just now?" ”
It is said that it is a question, but it does not mean that it is an affirmative sentence.
Since Dia said that he remembered every believer who came here to pray, then he naturally recognized the man just now.
"Yes, I know, that heretic has been hiding as a messenger in the Imperial Capital Post Office."
Dia's expression was obviously different when she said the word pagan.
"If he is really a cultist, then do you also think that he taught the children in the slums to read and write in order to better promote the cult's teachings?"
The slum men repeatedly insisted that Simon had just begun to teach their children to read, as if they didn't do so, and their children would be seen as cultists.
"No if, sir, this is confirmed by the angel himself."
Dia looked at Isis disapprovingly, angels are God's spokesmen, and angels can't be wrong.
Hearing this, Iss just smiled slightly, said goodbye to the priest, and disappeared into the crowd.
That night, the Cathedral of the Holy Light underwent another earth-shattering change.
During the day, the messenger identified by the angel as a cultist escaped the dungeon and slipped away from under their noses!
This was a fatal blow to the Holy See of Light, and the cardinals immediately blocked the news, and secretly sent the monks of the Inquisition to secretly investigate, and contacted the major dioceses to fully arrest the cultist Simon. Oliver.
And in the shadow land behind the light, Simon. The name Oliver immediately became a legend, a cultist who could induce Heaven Hill to take action personally, and a hero who teased the entire Lehman diocese.
"So, you're going to leave me alone to deal with the natives here?"
Anne Marcy thought she would be liberated tonight, but it was clear that her dear captain seemed to have changed his mind again.
Davis was in the Earl's Mansion in the Imperial Capital, and Is, or rather the puppet clone of Is, nodded, "This high-dimensional creature of the Holy Light Sect's faith is very troublesome, unlike the elven god Angres, he can sense our power. ”
"So you're going to the Heart of the Spell?"
"It's not just the heart of the incantation, but also the cultists, sometimes it's often his opponent who knows a person best."
Seeing the sadness on Anne's face, Iss was relieved again: "That's it, you also said that you were 'coping' with these natives. There is Mason. Davis is in, and my temporary clone of Parker. Davis, it's not hard for you to solve the identity problem. ”
"Don't forget that I still have to go back to World One."
"Then next time, I'll replace Lily, the puppet book can also capture the soul fluctuations of earthlings now."
He had thought before that since there were traversers in World One, there might also be earthlings in World Three.
Although the Book of Life and Death may not work here, you can experiment and see it.
