90. Memories

Si Luona shivered very cooperatively, looked at Li Hao's slightly serious expression, and finally spoke: "Actually, this story is not exciting, and even has some tragic elements, before that, I want to apologize to the injured Princess Simier, my original intention was not to hurt her, but at that time, the consciousness of the devil occupied my soul, making me unable to think like a normal person." As you might have guessed, I'm a member of the Shadows, but I'm not affiliated with any of the assassination and arrest teams, and my boss is the Second Inquisitor of the Inquisition, and above him there are the Inquisitors and the Saints, so I'm very religiously strong, and I'm much higher than the Divine Inquisition guys in terms of loyalty and piety, and you must be curious why I'm emphasizing this, because it's my job to help the Second Inquisitor sort out secret documents that are never made public. Among them are the assassination warrants for the anti-feudal fighters, as well as detailed records of the execution of the trial process, and there are many heretical readings banned by the Holy See, as well as the "Blacklist of Redeemers" issued every six months, which lists all the poor worms who are about to be invited to the Holy Inquisition for tea or to the Inquisition's torture room to be brainwashed, so every six months, the "Shadow" and the "Holy Inquisition" will be dispatched once in the nest, and this cycle has never stopped. As for the highest-level "Black Light Assassination", it is directly dispatched by Pope Silvetus, consisting of ten hunters and thirty Shadow Dance badge winners, as for what they need to do every day, even the chief judge has no way of knowing, this is where I work, you must think I am a good liar, right? ”

For Li Hao, a hunter with a status equivalent to a paladin, and a peak thief worth as much as a gold-level private alchemist, are all realms that cannot be reached for at least ten years. With a half-believing attitude, he motioned for Slorna to continue.

"It must sound to you that this must be a dark and honorable job, and I only need to sit in the office of the Inquisition, wield a quill and flip through the papal texts a few times, and receive a salary even more than that of a provincial consul, instead of taking a dagger and shadows as a companion to participate in a very dangerous hunt. It's just a pity that my fate in the Inquisition, as it was when I was just born, was miserable and unsheltered, like the White Rose refugees who have been deported over the years. Thirty-two days ago, on the day of the 9th Senate Council of the Holy See, I was sent by His Excellency the Troubled Inquisitor to St. John's Cathedral to sit in on the deputy, and to take note of the details of the meeting, and it all went very well, and the bad old men of the Senate accepted the new White Rose Amnesty issued by the Holy See, a political trick used by the Holy Inquisition, to free the puppets in the clock tower prison who had been forcibly indoctrinated with heretical ideas by forging false papal documents, and to induce the real prey to let down their guard, They have been nailing pictures of the Orthodoshman to crosses spilled with the blood of infants, and a group of Christians have been praying the blood mantra day and night in order to use the power of the mysterious Black Emperor to kill this potentially greatest threat. Then we went back to the council day, and after I had done all the tasks assigned by the judges, I did not go straight back to the Inquisition, as usual, but bought a lot of gifts that the children liked, and went to the orphanage behind St. John's Cathedral, which was the smallest of all the papal orphanages, and the conditions were worse than the slums, with only two elderly nuns struggling to maintain themselves, and had to support thirty poor children adopted by the Holy See, whose parents were basically veterans of the Holy War of the White Rose. ”

Srona paused again as she spoke, her eyes filled with sadness and fear in her memory.

"Then, you should go on, so that I can understand why there is no coldness and arrogance in your eyes now." Li Hao was a little impatient, he was a man who was very good at listening, and he entered the state very quickly, and his intuition told him that what was hidden in Si Luona's body was by no means as simple as encounters and stories, and it was likely to be shocking. …

"Okay sir, let me drink hot water to moisten my throat, do you remember where you heard?" Srona held the water glass and said as she drank, as if she was very forgetful.

"Speaking of the "Salvation Orphanage", a place worse than a slum. Li Hao's expression was quiet, and he gently rubbed the black cross ornament on the dark gold dagger with his thumb, his knowledge of the Holy See was basically zero, and he only knew a few terrifying exclusive terms. For staunch atheists, the chances of being accused of heresy by the Holy Investigation were much greater than being dragged into the torture chamber for blasphemy, and this was the reason why the young aristocracy preferred to be cheap hypocrites rather than enter the provincial government under the title of gentleman. **The era of dictatorial order is also the most serious polarization phenomenon in the evolution of religious history, otherwise the world-famous Monk Knights would not have such an arrogant and domineering confidence.

"But for homeless children, a place with moldy black bread and a thin quilt is already a paradise. I stayed there for about two hours, teaching the children to sing new hymns, and I remember vividly "Where the Flowers Bloom". And when I returned to the court, I was now missing the bag I had brought with me, containing the detailed transcript of the meeting and the new issue of the "blacklist of redeemers". Can you relate to the feeling that for a silver-robed deacon, the guilt of losing a confidential document is much more serious than spreading heretical thoughts? I had to go back to the "Salvation Orphanage" overnight and turn everyone upside down, and as in "Hamlet", I did not know what to do in tragedy, but fortunately His Excellency the Inquisitor had to attend a court banquet in the evening. So I had a new time, I tried to remember all the places I had visited, and then I searched for the past, and the truth was just as it had been at the beginning, there was no room for maneuver, and I felt that hope was getting slimmer, and that the distance between night and day was so short. As the first morning light illuminated Jerusalem, I sat in the central square in front of the basilica in a thin papal silver robe, looking at the holiest cross at the top of the obelisk, and tears flowed down my face. Instead of returning to the Inquisition that day, I hid in the corner of the Ruined Park and watched the sun go down and the moon rise, alternating cycles. I think that would be the last time I would enjoy my favorite scenery. The politicians of the "Holy Investigation Institute" broke into the inquisition and dragged the adjudicator into the torture room, they have always been obsessed with the gap in privilege, and they like to make trouble by grabbing many small flaws, and I was personally listed on the list of apostates by the chief judge, and pursued for blasphemy and leaking. ”

"Looks like you must have managed to escape." Li Hao interjected, handing the freshly brewed green tea to her, his expression was no longer as indifferent as just now.
