Chapter 31: Dacora the Robber (3)
Twenty minutes later, Archbishop Whitemire hurried to the scene, and the director of the Inquisition, Paul, and Trison, the dean of the seminary, arrived a little earlier than him.
Whitemire nearly fainted when he heard that his granddaughter, Catherine, had entered the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Divine Order on her own initiative to negotiate with the robbers.
The son and daughter-in-law died in Jerusalem in battle, and it is already an eternal pain for the white-haired person to send the black-haired person, and now the granddaughter is in the tiger's mouth again, in case there are three long and two short, I don't want this old life!
"What is the situation now? Are the hostages safe? How many robbers are there? What are the demands?"
The commander replied tremblingly, "There is only one kidnapper, and it is Dacora, the deputy captain of the Stefan Street Arrest Squad under the Holy City Inquisition. The kidnapped was the acting minister of the Congregation, Luanta, who had been kidnapped half an hour earlier, and the kidnappers had approached us and said that they would release the hostages in one hour. Minister Roanta had his throat cut, but the kidnappers had treated him with Holy Healing and are now alive. Now that we have surrounded the Ministry of Sacred Doctrine, the kidnappers cannot fly. ”
Whitemire said angrily, "Stupid, why is there such a tight siege when there is only one person, what if he jumps over the wall and harms Minister Roanta?"
This is a bit unreasonable, everyone knows that the archbishop's granddaughter is inside, and he cares about it.
Paul and Trisson glanced at each other, and Trisson stepped forward decisively and said in a low voice: "Archbishop, since the kidnappers are unwilling to kill Minister Luanta, they may not be embarrassed by Miss Catherine, if he knows the relationship between Miss and you, and thinks about his own safety, he will not easily attack Miss Catherine." ”
Seeing that Whitemire was calm and did not speak, Paul took the initiative to say: "Although this Dacora is an idle job bought with money, he is quite skillful. Eat the heretics of Stefan Street to death, piggyback and pull out Magnum who is hiding among us. I had a long talk yesterday, and in general, he is a talent who can be used with a little training. Why did it suddenly become difficult, I think, there may be some misunderstanding here. I would like to talk to him about it, and maybe it can be resolved peacefully. ”
"Then I'll see. ”
With a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, Paul did not hesitate and walked towards the door of the black hole in the library.
Dacora was a smart man, and many of his views echoed mine.
The time has come when the Holy Religion must change.
Day after day, year after year, too many believers and supporters are tired of reading from the book and following the rules, especially the damn alchemy, which constantly challenges the bottom line of the Holy Religion in various ways and in all fields, and the Holy Religion is actually forced to retreat step by step.
Either you slowly lose your top in the bottomless swamp, or you fight your way and find a new path.
Where is the road?
Dacora wanted to try a new path, and although his opinion was bizarre, it was the most appropriate way to solve the dilemma at hand. Gentle reform is better than the bleeding and mourning of all countries.
Since the Holy Religion was designated as the state religion by the Roman Empire, it has gone through more than 1,000 years of wind and rain, and has already formed a set of internally stable power structure and benefit distribution system, and it is not easy to reform!
Domino effect. Reform is a matter of urgency, especially given the ill-conceived nature of the nations and the sighting of the reformists in Urbino, and in such a complex situation, drastic measures may not be a good strategy. Even if you want to change, you have to move slowly.
Dacora, why are you in such a hurry! Could it be that just by taking the credit of Magnum, just by virtue of your words, Dean Trisson and I have to accept your views in their entirety? In this position, will it be easy for a young man in his early twenties to disrupt the existing system entirely?
If you want to use this extreme way to admonish—or force the palace—I'm disappointed. Your ideals are like castles built on the sand, and the tide of reality will wipe it away with you with a light touch. And you, there is only one dead end.
With a heavy heart, Paul walked step by step through the empty hall corridor.
Opposite, a long shadow stumbled in.
Paul looked closely, and it was actually Roanta who crawled over: "Minister Roanta, is it you?"
"Director, Director!" At this moment, Roanta seemed to see his father, and exchanged tears, "That heretic, that Dacora, and Miss Catherine are both defeated!"
"If you don't hurry up and save people, what are you running out for?"
"Those two people are so powerful, I can't see clearly, and I don't dare to look at them...... I think it's a lose-lose situation, and besides, the injury must be something I can't heal—"
"My dear Minister Luanta, run, run, go out and call for reinforcements. Just watch in peace. ”
One sentence made Luo Anta fall into an ice cave, and he knew that his career might come to an end.
Paul walked briskly to the library reference room, the door of which was wide open and silent. He screamed badly, and rushed in three steps and two steps.
What scared him the most was the sudden appearance of two corpses in front of his eyes.
Passing through a pile of bookshelves, he suddenly saw that Catherine was sitting in a chair, her back to him and reading something.
"Kai ......"
"Shhhhh
Dacora's face was pale, and she looked weak and recovering from a serious illness, while Catherine, who sat in front of her, trembled her shoulders slightly, and coughed twice from time to time.
The surging light element in the air indicates that it has just been called frequently, and looking at the condition of the two of them, it seems that they have really experienced a fierce battle, but what is the atmosphere of this hard study?
"Director Paul, please talk here, and don't disturb Miss Catherine's reading. ”
"Young man, what's going on?"
Duck was calm: "Luanta is too deceitful, and I used the topic to solve a long-established headless public case." I need witnesses, so I'm calling you, Dean Trison, and Archbishop Whitemire. ”
"Immediately let the people go, there is something to say. ”
"I didn't restrict her personal freedom, she was interested in my motivation for doing this, especially in relation to the legendary vampire, who was studying some of the undeclassified documents I had found. ”
"Vampires, those tusked bats that live in the lower third-rate and theatrical plays, will they have something to do with you?"
"Of course, we don't have to rush to study the ethereal, we want to study the prototype of the vampire, the former Grand Duke of Lumania, Farad Dracula. I think that every high priest in a high position like you is not unaware of his special experience and his relationship with the Papal States. ”
"The bloodthirsty butcher, the warrior of the Guardians, the generous righteous, and the mad devil, a very complicated fellow—is he related to you?"
"That's the ancestor. ”
Paul looked Duck up and down for a long time and said, "One of the two of us must be stupid." ”
"Of course it's me. With the strength of one person, I want to regain the fairness and justice that have been lost for two hundred years for my ancestors. ”
"What a joke. ”
"Please wait a minute," Duck stretched out his head to look at the monitoring circle, and said, "Can you tell the people outside, don't rush in, give me another hour, and in an hour, I'll be killed, or ......"
Otherwise, the net will be broken, and the granddaughter of the archbishop and a director of the inquisition will be killed. Paul sighed helplessly and agreed.
On the one hand, although he was the head of the inquisition, he was an out-and-out administrative official, with little combat ability of his own, and on the other hand, his curiosity was aroused.
What is there to discuss about Dracula's public case, which has already been decided, and who will dig it up even if he dies?
"Trison, I'm Paul, I'm fine, Catherine is fine. Tell people outside not to move, not to move. We'll be out in a while. ”
