Chapter 14: Black and White (3)
Rose had a fever.
The high tension and intense exhaustion constantly tormented her fragile nerves, and she felt like the whole world was shaking.
No, I can't fall, I want to, run away...... Beckson Avenue, Beckson Ave., ...... No. 21 ......
Walk through this alley, turn a corner, and you're there.
Hold on, hold on, Rose, you can!
A drizzle fell in the sky, and the wet ground became more slippery.
She stumbled under her feet, her legs went limp, and she fell heavily in the freezing rain, and the token, the little reverse cross, bounced and rolled under the iron grate of the roadside sewer.
"No! No!"
No, it's useless to regret it, it's even more impossible to call someone to help, there are people from the Illuminati Cult everywhere. Danger, danger, go forward, go forward!
The desire to survive was stubbornly supporting her, the high fever had burned her face red, and the world shook before her eyes, one moment near, the other flickering away.
She trembled and staggered out of the alley, the darkness left behind her, but instead of light, she was greeted by a gloomy and cold rain.
One step, one step at a time. She felt that her body was getting lighter and lighter, as if she would leave this world and fly at any moment.
She fell hard, couldn't stand up, and collapsed in front of a high-spiked building with a large silver cross indicating that it was the chapel of the Cult of Light.
A young pastor hurried out of the chapel, and when he saw a beautiful lady lying on the ground, he instinctively stretched out his hand to help him, but immediately withdrew his hand, looked around cautiously, and there was no one, so he leaned over and picked up Rose, and ran back to the church.
When the doors of the chapel closed, Duck hurried down the road, his eyes swept to the corner of the priest's white robe, but he didn't care, and walked around the corner of the street.
The young priest carried Rose into the chapel and shouted, "Father Antariel, please help!" A girl fainted. β
An old priest hurried out, and when he saw Rose's appearance, he was taken aback: "She may be very sick, quick, carry her inside." β
The young pastor was a little embarrassed: "But, Father, Sister Abohaya is not here, and the two of us are ......"
"Life comes first, light comes first. Rudolph, fast. β
The two big men worked hard to finally settle Rose.
At this time, Rudolph felt a pain in his chest, and when he saw it, the little bag that was hung behind the girl's back had a blood mark, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, helping others is not a simple matter.
He gently removed the bag from the girl's neck, put it on the small table beside him, and said, "Father, what should I do?"
"What to do? Of course, it's to reduce her fever, quickly, put a basin of warm water, and wipe her. β
"Uh, okay, okay. β
The girl's clothes were soaked and clinging to her body, and as soon as the blanket was lifted, Rudolph's head was numb and he almost fainted.
He blushed and carefully wiped the girl's forehead and hands and feet.
"Father, she has no external injuries, and she can't use healing spells. It's burning so badly, just by scrubbing, I'm afraid I won't be able to lower it for a while, so I'd better send it to the hospital as soon as possible. β
"The people in the hospital have all been taken time to go to the Clinton Warehouse, and even if they go, they can't find anyone. We'll have to send her to another floating island. We have to keep a guard at home, and we can't do it alone, so we can only pray that she will get well soon," the priest said, "she's too tired, let her sleep for a while." Bring a brazier so you don't catch a cold again. β
Rudolph quickly brought the brazier, and together the two of them carefully carried the girl to the sacrificial table under the statue of the Son.
The priest replaced the girl's soaking wet blanket with a clean, soft blanket.
"Rudolph, you see, this blanket is a sailor's style, it doesn't match her clothes at all, and she's in such poor physical condition, it's probably a survivor of the Titan. β
Rudolph froze: "Shouldn't she be in the temporary relief place at the dock warehouse?"
"Have you forgotten the treatment of the first survivors? β
Rudolph said indignantly: "The light of the Holy Sect has been tarnished by those scum like this! Hmph, if it were in the main city of Jagenk, or the Bagpipe Castle, these guys would never dare to do this!"
"Also, you see. Father Antalil lifted the corner of the blanket to reveal the tiny inverse cross.
Rudolph was taken aback: "Cult of the Dark God?"
"The Cult of the Dark God is not scum, on the contrary, most of its followers are self-disciplined, thrifty, and mild-mannered. I think it appeared because too many people were dissatisfied with the Holy Religion and chose to fight it in this way. She doesn't have to be a member of the Cult of the Dark God. β
"Huh, why ......?"
"The blanket was for sailors, but the garment she wore was sewn from the finest fabric. I think maybe some kind sailor helped her. β
Rudolph said indignantly: "Every heretic will help people who have never known each other, those scum and duplicitous hypocrites who run rampant under the guise of the god of light, but they unscrupulously bully those poor people who are in trouble!"
"The clouds will eventually dissipate. The more difficult and dangerous the young priests, the more we cannot shake our hearts for the light. God is using the Cult of Darkness to warn us that we must not continue like thisβif this girl falls into the hands of the Templars and hypocrites......"
"Yes, Father. I'll get rid of this blanket right away, so ...... her belongings?"
The priest pondered for a moment, and said, "It's better to check it out." The two of us were here at the same time, so it didn't matter. β
Rudolph opened Rose's pouch and exclaimed, "Father, look!
The priest was also taken aback: "Oh, my god of light. The biggest gem I've ever seen is the 'Star of Light' on the Pope's crown, but that's only half the size of that. It's incredible!"
"I heard that most of the Titans are dignitaries, looking at this girl's clothes, can you say ......?"
"Probably some aristocratic lady in distress. Rudolph, girls, blankets, gems, anything, if it falls into the hands of the Templarsβ"
Someone laughed and said, "What will happen then?"
The two of them were startled, raised their heads sharply, and a silver armor splashed with mud spots appeared in front of them.
"Templar!"
Rudolph didn't finish his sentence when he was kicked hard in the chest and flew backwards.
The priest was shocked: "What are you doing?"
The Templar sneered, "What are you doing?
Behind him there was a chorus of laughter, a dozen Templars shouting and demons dancing.
The priest suppressed his anger and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this girl is just a victim. She's not ......" Before he could finish his sentence, he was pressed against the wall by two Templar warriors, one on the left and one on the right: "Father, it's hard work, you helped us catch the fish that slipped through the net, we will thank you later, you can take a breath first." β
"Let go of me, let go of me! What are you going to do!"
The Templar at the head of the Templar laughed and said, "Of course, it's according to the procedure." Search, purification, interrogation. It seems that there is no need for a search. He leaned over and picked up the sapphire on the small table: "Tsk, this dark evil party has really stolen a lot of good things, until we find the owner, let us keep it." Esmond, take it! knock off a corner, and I'll pull you off. β
"Don't worry, Navarro-sama, I've got it in my mouth!"
Navarro walked up to the sleeping Rose and ripped off the blanket from the girl's body: "Oh, look at this lovely little lamb, it's a pity, it's tainted by the darkness, and it must be purified quickly!
A crowd of well-dressed beasts shouted in unison, "Boss Navarro!"
Navarro laughed: "Then you're welcome." As he spoke, he chirped and stripped off the armor and trousers on his lower body, "Come on, look at the holy water of heaven, how to drive away evil, hehehe." β
Rudolph shouted angrily: "Stop, stop! You bastards, what are you doing in the holy chapel, what are you doing in front of the statue of the Son of Suffering! Is there any light in your hearts!"
These words made Navarro turn around: "Oh, little white face, when you were still nursing, I was already a full-fledged Templar, and I had purified more heretics than you had used diapers. Purification must be carried out, but the uncle suddenly thought of a new way to play - brothers, since the little white face is so pious, how about we let him purify?"
The beasts shouted in unison: "Boss is wise!"
Four or five beasts swarmed up and pushed Rudolph in front of Rose.
Navarro sneered: "The little white face hasn't purified the female heretics yet, has it? Uncle, I'll help you open the meat today! Brothers, the little white face is tender, let's help him and rip off his pants!"
Tears rolled down Rudolph's eyes: "Priest, priest, our former parishioners, former brothers, have fallen, hopelessly fallen!"
Father Antalil burst into tears: "Open your eyes, O God, these obsessive hypocrites, these murderous thugs, in your holy temple, are about to commit demonic crimes!
The two beasts leaned over to tear Rudolph's pants.
Rudolph muttered, "Finally...... Once...... Warning, let go, stop your blasphemous crimes......!
"Otherwise you're going to be pouring out of this hot chick!Come on, little white face, throw away that bullshit dogma, and enjoy the joy of the light with us!You're going to love it, hahaha!"
Navarro laughed maniacally. The two guys who went to pull Rudolph's pants were laughing and almost fell to the ground.
In the sacred chapel, demons danced.
Rudolph prayed in a low voice: "O Supreme God, even though I am in the darkest prison of hell, my heart yearns for the light, and by your faith, your Spirit, and your strength, I send down light, drive out evil, and open the way to heaven for those who are struggling and screaming!
As soon as he finished speaking, Rudolph jerked his right knee and smashed the bridge of the Templar's nose as he was about to lean over to pull his pants.
