Chapter 39: The Imprisoned and the Strangled (1)

The next morning, a sudden rush shook the entire city of Lorma.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Dack, the head of the Inquisition, personally led the team, and the Inquisition of Lorma City went out to storm the town hall, and more than 400 officials and subordinates, including Governor Rurik and Police Chief Trusier, were all arrested.

All the justifications, all the protests, all the struggles and all the social relations, in the face of ferocious violence, are completely useless.

Together with the 50 people arrested the night before, nearly 500 administrative staff were arrested, and the city hall of Lorma was completely shut down.

Darke declared a state of emergency in Lorma and imposed a curfew, leaving all defense to the Templars and arrest squads.

The city garrison regiment was confused and at a loss, this matter cannot be taken lightly and recklessly, and it will be taken against the inquisition?

The head of the garrison was in a hurry, and Vanessa, the captain of the inquisition, came, telling him that everything was normal and that he could just wait and see.

There was panic throughout the city of Lorma, and there were even rumors that Darker was going to rebel and was building weapons to destroy the Papal States. Then in less than two hours, the guy with the big tongue was sent to the torture chamber by Fernández.

"My lord, something is not right. All the officials have been recruited. ”

Fernandez lowered his hands and reported to Duck worriedly.

"What's the call?"

"I don't say anything, but as soon as the torture equipment is put on the body, before they start to do it, they start talking nonsense, saying everything. Whatever you ask, they answer. Even if they were heretics, they unceremoniously admitted it, and they did not hesitate to ask them to sign and sign the pledge - it would not be good to attack them. ”

Duck smiled slightly: "It seems that people have already rehearsed, and when they are held accountable afterwards, they say that they are tortured to extract confessions, and they are tortured into tricks." He pulled out a piece of paper and handed it over: "Separate the people." Rurik and Trusil were held in solitary confinement, and the other officials gathered in the large conference room to show them the contents of the paper. Let Woods show them a magical image. After reading it, I put the person away. ”

"Let it go...... Put?"

"That's right, don't look at this is a group of stinky fish and rotten shrimp, we really have to rely on these stinky fish and rotten shrimp to solve the problem. In addition, after watching the video, it is estimated that it will be noon, and each person will be given two apples for lunch, so let's go. ”

Fernandez took the order, and the room fell silent.

Isabella gently held Duck's hand, her fingers were cold, and she whispered, "Are you sure?"

"Be sure. ”

"Do you know what you're doing?"

"Of course. Usurpation of executive power. ”

"Do you know that what you did was exactly the same as what Kuruma and Saron did?"

"Yes. ”

"Then where does your confidence come from? Aren't you nervous at all?"

Duck patted his lover on the shoulder: "Because the opponents of those careerists are us who have mastered the unknown, and our opponents are a bunch of stupid and short-sighted fools. Of course, I am far inferior to me in terms of playing with power, but who is fighting with them now? What I want is to concentrate power in the shortest possible time, make an appearance, and show it to the lords and men of the Holy City. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Within two hours, the Holy City could not react. Tell Vanessa, keep an eye on the only teleportation circle, whoever comes, stop him, and I'm going to talk to the Governor and the Chief of Police. ”

"I'll go with you. ”

Duck laughed: "Two old bureaucrats, what are you afraid of? You guard the communication circle and keep in touch with Royce and Petrarch," he saw that Isabella was still arguing, and his face sank: "Lala, this is not a joke, your contact and coordination are done well, and it will have a great impact on the next plan." It's your mission!"

The girl couldn't help it, so she bit her lip: "Then be careful." ”

Duck hugged her softly, then turned and walked out, disappearing into the autumn sun.

As soon as I pushed open the door of the conference room, there was a bang, and a chair flew over and slammed against the door. Darker was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at it, it turned out that Governor Rurik was losing his temper and had broken several chairs.

Duck laughed, dragged himself to sit down, and then kicked a few chairs over: "Come on, don't stop." At this rate, in another twenty minutes, you two will have to stand and talk to me. ”

Rurik smiled contemptuously: "Venerable Divine Servant, how can there be a place for us in front of you. ”

"It's good to have this realization," Duck said slowly, "you two rats in the sewers, maggots in the dung pits, demagogic devils with sores on the top of your heads, pus on the soles of your feet, and spitting foul sulfur in your mouth, I have condescended to appear in front of you, and you still think you have the qualifications to sit?"

This string of vicious curses stunned the two prisoners, even if it was a street shrew, it was nothing more than that, right?

"Do you think I'm going to arrest you for heresy? No, no, no, no, you're not heretical, just blasphemy, serious blasphemy, and under you, hundreds of officials and subordinates in the town hall are all in danger of being poisoned by blasphemous thoughts, so I must purify all of you holy. ”

Trusil scolded angrily: "You idiot, which eye of yours saw that we were blasphemous, and what is the proof?"

Duck took out a magic video recording crystal ball and gently slapped it on the table: "Kneel." For your evil thoughts and words. ”

The two men laughed, looked nonchalant, dragged their chairs and sat down.

Duck didn't care, and with a light clap of his hands, he started playing.

This is a splendid banquet hall, full of people, guests and hosts, and happy.

The image moved forward, entering an even more splendid private room, and a dozen loud voices sounded in the ears, obviously the atmosphere in the room had reached its peak, and the perspective slowly flattened and fixed on the main seat.

It was Rurik who sat in the main seat, and below him was the flattering police chief.

Rurik and Trusil stood up in shock, their faces full of incredulity.

Wasn't this the banquet at the Hotel Marbrio last night?

In the video, everyone is red-faced, and they are obviously almost drunk. Rurik's big voice sounded: "Everyone, everyone, there are no outsiders tonight, let's cheer to celebrate the early fall of the big fool Dak!"

There was a cheer and the sound of wine glasses clashing, just like the sound of two teeth fighting outside the video.

The two of them trembled uncontrollably, their minds in chaos.

What did we say? Didn't say anything...... Right?

Duck smiled, as if he had heard praise instead of swearing, and dragged his chair into the shadows of the corner.

The image continues.

"The lords and masters of the Holy Sect are all blind, let such an idiot be the director? No, no, no, I think the God of Light is blind. ”

There was a frenzied cheer, and the excitement of alcohol, rebellion against conventional views, the near-zero cost of deviance from the unconscious behavior of the group and the near-enclosed space drove everyone crazy.

"Come, come, let's have a prayer!

Trusier volunteered: "Don't rob anyone, I'll come, I'll come!"

He began to recite.

"Our God in heaven, Father Most Holy, may all men sanctify your name—how many are there now? The clergy will only sell indulgences, seek out the wandering warbler, and make usury, and will not recite the scriptures for a long time!"

Another frenzied heckling.

Rurik laughed and clapped his hands: "Okay, okay, quietly, quietly, the director hasn't finished speaking, do you understand the rules?"

Trussier continued his frenzied performance: "Let your kingdom, your spirit, and your righteousness be all over the earth as in heaven—no, this kingdom is ours, and it is our will that goes!

"Our food, clothing, and daily living have been given to us today by your might. Forgive us our debts, just as we forgive people's debts - give away things for nothing, do you say you are stupid? stupid God? As for debts? Dream, only the poor owe us debts, how can we owe debts to others?"

"Deliver us not from the temptations of the devil, deliver us from the snare—O God, O God whom I seek with all my heart, thou hast boasted so well, though it never came true. ”

Rurik shouted: "Last sentence, come together, come together!"

All the demons in official robes laughed in unison: "For the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, are ours forever." Praise the light!"

"It's all ours!"

"It's all ours. ”

"It's all our ......"

The magical image flickered and plunged into endless darkness.

There was a thump and two knees hit the ground. Rurik and Trusil fell to their knees in unison, sweating profusely, and did not dare to say a word.

Dark's deep voice came from the shadows: "In the foul and muddy filth, there are also honest and innocent loyal people, and your ugly faces and crazy actions have long been recorded. Do you think there is a place where the Holy Light can't shine?"

The two men's brains were numb.

"Even a heretic wouldn't be so arrogant, would he? Confess your sins, shameful sinner!"

The two of them trembled all over, and their heads fell deeply.

"The chief officer of a city has fallen to this point, and his subordinates can be imagined. You say, "If more than 500 people are executed at once, is the existing burning stake enough?"

At this time, in the backyard of the court, more than 500 officials and subordinates of the city hall stood solemnly, not daring to take a breath.

They likewise saw the ugly performances of Rurik and Trusier. There were a few timid ones, who had already fainted with fright, and feces and urine flowed in unison. Woods ordered them to be dragged into a corner.

It's going to die!

The rattle of the teeth tapping grew louder and louder.

Suddenly, a shrill voice rang out: "This thing was done by two blasphemers, Rurik and Trucill, and it has nothing to do with us!"

The sound disappeared at the same time, and everyone shouted to Woods as if they had grasped a life-saving straw: "It's nothing to do with us, it's nothing to do with us!"

A cruel smile tugged at the corner of Woods' mouth.
