Carpenter never believed that he would one day be able to wield a whip at the retributive knights who had imprisoned him. In fact, he didn't even think he could take revenge on these knights, even though the dwarves kept uttering vicious curses when they beat them, but their release seemed to be their greatest hope.

It's just that I didn't expect that at this time, the brown-haired boy appeared again and told the dwarves to give a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye.

The sound rang through Carpenter's mind like thunder, and instead of stepping up as boldly as his companions, he began to whip the knights who had whipped him in front of the many adventurers. The bearded dwarf looked at Xiao Yan without blinking, and asked, "Lord Lord, what did you just say?" ”

"In the book of Exodus, it says, tooth for tooth, eye for eye, hand for hand, foot for foot. And he said, "Burn for burning, wound for wound, scourge for scourging." ”

"In Leviticus, it is said that a wound for a wound, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. And he said, As he hath made a man handicapped, so will he be handicapped. ”

Xiao Yan looked at the knights who were looking at him angrily and were being whipped by the dwarves, and chanted the scriptures loudly. These verses were like a giant hammer that smashed the high heads of the knights little by little.

Only the two Punishment Knight squad leaders still refused to bow their heads, and they stared at Xiao Yan viciously. One of the knight squad leaders shouted loudly, "We have different identities, how can we use these on us?" ”

Xiao Yan raised his hand slightly, asked the dwarves to pause their whips, and slowly walked in front of the knight squad leader. Calmly asked, "What is your identity?" ”

"Captain of the Punishment Knight."

"Weishenme and punishment?"

The team leader was stunned for a moment. He really couldn't answer that.

Xiao Yan looked at each other. Then he said, "In the book of Leviticus, the Lord said, 'If you do not obey me, and do not do all my commandments, I will punish you sevenfold for your sins. ”

Obviously, such a scripture is too profound for a captain like the Knights, not to mention the Knights, even the priests of the Priesthood are casually referred to by Xiao Yan. And there is no erroneous ability to suppress, and no one even dares to show up to say anything. All they can do is to praise "Amen" every time Xiao Yan quotes scriptures.

As for the squad leader, he was obviously completely suppressed by Xiao Yan's momentum. He muttered, as if trying to say something. But of course, Xiao Yan would not give him such a chance, and the brown-haired young man continued: "This is where the name of your punishment comes from. You wield the weapons and whips in your hands so that the commandments of the Lord may be spread and upheld, and that you will follow the will of the Lord and punish those who do not believe in the Lord and do not obey the commandments of the Lord. ”

The voice slowly expanded. Add to that the special rhyme format of the scriptures in Latin. made Xiao Yan's words produce a kind of subdued and frustrated situation. Not only the priests, but even Konstantin and Yanni next to him couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement. At the same time, these higher-level beings also felt a burst of arrogance, and they were actually told by such a young man for reasons they didn't even know, if this situation happened a few more times, the ascetics didn't know how to deal with it.

As for the surrounding onlookers, there were already a few who knelt on the ground and prayed loudly to the sky, declaring that they had heard an unprecedented gospel today.

looked at the knight squad leader who hadn't lowered his head yet. Xiao Yan continued: "You will punish those heretics who go against the will of the Lord, and you will protect those who believe in the Lord and act according to the will of the Lord. I ask you, then, have my subjects ever acted against the will of the Lord? ”

The squad leader had to shake his head, as a whip in the master's hand to whip enemies and heretics, these punishment knights may not be too evil, but they cannot lie. Once they lie, the light in them will dim and be known to their companions. When that time comes, he will not be a glorious knight of punishment, but will immediately become the scum of knights. Some serious ones will even be burned at the stake.

"No, they have not disobeyed the will of the Lord."

"Who, then, is it your fault that you did not protect them, but turned the whip that should have been directed at the heretics and whipped them so that they served you?"

The squad leader lowered his head and replied in a low voice, "Mine." ”

"Be louder, I can't hear you!"

"My mistake, yes, it was my mistake!"

"Louder! When you whip my subjects, will there be only a little sound? ”

"Yes!" The squad leader lowered his head, screamed, and shouted, "It's my fault!" I have indulged my own evil and must be punished! ”

Xiao Yan nodded with satisfaction, turned his head to look at his subjects who had become sluggish, and said calmly: "When they whipped you, they didn't humiliate you in public. And now, you have taken your revenge in front of so many people, so that the rest of the whipping and revenge will cease, what do you think? ”

"Amen!"

It was not his subjects who answered Xiao Yan, and those dwarves who had no knowledge had already burst into tears, and they had no idea of refusing Xiao Yan's proposal at all. It was Yanni who answered Xiao Yan, the strong punishment knight who drew a cross on his chest, knelt down on one knee in front of Xiao Yan, and then kissed Xiao Yan's raised right hand.

Then the knight praised: "You are the most knowledgeable and merciful man I have ever seen, lord. ”

The word lord made Yanni a little reluctant to speak, and he seemed to prefer to say that Xiao Yan was a saint, at least the Lord's walker on the ground. However, the pressure from the Holy See made the knight captain somewhat worried, so he could only change his words bluntly in the end. However, the fact that he could not praise more did not mean that Yanni had no other way to express his feelings, he stood up, bowed his head slightly, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, my lord. It's not because you let go of these knights who have made mistakes, but because you have told us what the goal of the knights is and what we should do. The Lord must have asked you to tell us this here, so the Knights of Punishment are willing to protect you. ”

Glancing at the impassive Konstantin, Yanni said, "If you need it, we will send a squadron of Punishment Knights to your side within 4 days, no matter where you are." Even in the devil's hell, we will definitely arrive! ”

As long as you don't stay with me all the time. Xiao Yan said to himself, but he also knew that this kind of practice of providing the protection of the punishment knight at all times could not be possible on him. After all, he didn't have any clerical status, and it really didn't make sense to have a knight of punishment belonging to the Holy See provide real-time protection for a local lord.

Regarding Yanni's promise, Xiao Yan only nodded slightly. A squadron of punishment knights is enough to wipe out a viscount, and if Xiao Yan is ambitious enough, it is not surprising to become an earl. However, Xiao Yan's ambition is not in his own territory, his ambition is only on upgrading. He had to get out of here before this trial shijie reset. When the time comes, no amount of territory will mean anything to him.

Then, Xiao Yan turned his head to look at his subordinates and whispered, "You must be compensated for the damage you have suffered. Do not reject my promises, I am my lord, and you are my subjects. You must listen to My promises and commands, and I will guarantee your dignity and safety. ”

At this time, those dwarves who were still a little unruly didn't need to say much at all, and came to Xiao Yan one by one, kissing his fingers and expressing their submission.

This order ended up in a place where one looked older. The dwarf with two deep scars on his face stopped, and the graying old man looked at Xiao Yan's empty fingers and whispered, "You should have a ring that matches your identity, my lord." ”

Carpenter on the other side stiffened slightly. He whispered, "Loka, don't interfere in the personal affairs of your lordship. ”

The old dwarf named Loka turned his head to look at Carpenter and asked, "Carpenter, the Brilliant Gem can only be kept in the hands of those who are strong enough. If we are not strong enough, keeping such gems will only cause us calamity. Because of a brilliant gem, the dwarven castle has been overrun by evil dragons. Do you want this kind of thing to happen again? ”

Carpenter was silent for a moment and said, "But your Excellency doesn't have the ability to keep this gem yet. If we carve this gemstone into a ring, then calamity will come immediately. ”

No one knew what the two dwarves meant by the dwarven language they were talking about. It's just that Xiao Yan vaguely felt that this seemed to be related to some gems. This is just his intuition, even Xiao Yan's will, there will be intuition.

"You can have a later discussion, Carpenter, take me to the tavern, and then I'll need grilled sausages for three, I love your craft, it's awesome."

"You're alone? My lord? ”

"Yes. I'm alone, and I'm tired from the distance today. However, the thought of being able to taste Carpenter's craft again immediately made me feel a lot of energy. ”

Carpenter's body trembled slightly, and then he whispered, "Thanks for the compliment." ”

Xiao Yan turned his head to look at Konstantin on the side again, and said, "My godfather, please allow me to have a little personal time. I needed to eat enough to eat, and walking was less painful than starvation. ”

Konstantin smiled slightly and said, "As you wish." (To be continued......)
