The priest in his twenties clearly felt what a pure and surging divine liliang was contained on the green branch, which seemed extremely close to this second-level priest, but full of majesty.

The priest took a closer look at the branch, and was surprised to find that it should be the young trunk of a pine tree, which was not available at this time in the Black Forest. There were also some newly grown pine needles on the branch, which were not yet waxy but still glittered under the torches outside the castle.

"Oh, my lord," the priest murmured in admiration, "Praise! I have never seen it, but I see it now, and I know your kindness. ”

After he finished saying these words of admiration, he turned his head to look at the squadron leader on the other side, and asked in a low voice, "Where did you get this?" ”

The priest did not dare to say "branch", or even to identify the branch explicitly, for fear that by pointing at the branch, he would blaspheme the holy liliang on the branch. Then, he had already looked in the other direction. That was the direction of the castle passage, which had so many twists and turns that the priest could not see the splendid carriage outside the passage.

"Who is it? Is it a valued guest? Is it a devout guest? ”

The squadron leader recovered from the intense pain at this time, and did not dare to give any opinion to the priest for not releasing his divine magic, but whispered: "Yes, there is a carriage outside, and they gave me this, I want to see the bishop." ”

The corner of the priest's eyes twitched slightly, and he could easily see that the squadron leader was lying. He whispered, "They want to see the Bishop?" Or do you want the Bishop to go out and meet them? If only to see the Bishop. It's not going to make you like that. And. This gift is not available to any bishop. ”

After speaking, the priest casually released a magic spell on the knight squadron leader, wanting to repair the damage on the squadron leader's feet, as for the other knights, the priest didn't care. Divine art was so precious, he didn't want to waste too much human affection.

However, to the priest's surprise, when the light of the divine magic in his hand began to shine. The emerald green trunk of the tree also emitted a white glow as it should have been reconciled. The glow seemed more pure and soft than the priest's, and faintly even a strange song could be heard floating around the trunk. Under the blessing of this light, the divine magic created by the priest suddenly magnified, and the xiangshang sky evaporated, and then disintegrated, falling towards all the people around the priest. Whether it was a wounded knight or an ordinary soldier, they all felt extremely peaceful at this moment. And those frostbitten feet also healed quickly at the same time.

"Oh. My Lord. Praise! You have shown me miracles, miracles that you have promised. Praise! ”

The priest drew a cross on his chest, whispered praises, and then, ignoring the knights, turned and stumbled towards the castle. As for the knights who were healed by the light, and the soldiers who were touched by the light, they all dropped their weapons at the same time, crossed their hands in front of their chests, and reverently praised the miracles brought by the Lord.

It didn't take long for the music in the castle to cease, and then the castle gate slowly opened, and a middle-aged priest in a red robe with a white collar hurried out of it. The priest walked in such a hurry that he didn't even wait for the priests behind him to clear a clean path for him.

"Ride a horse, Your Excellency."

The captain of the Stuttgart knights rode up on a fast horse, and behind him, a steed followed closely. However, the captain's courtesy was not appreciated by the bishop, and the middle-aged priest waved his hand impatiently as he walked through the mud, and said, "Go away, and don't let me be dirty." ”

The Captain looked a little dumbfounded, but he didn't continue to try to convince the Bishop, for the four Punishment Knights who came after him had set him an example enough. As soon as the four chastining knights belonging to Bishop Levant reached the gate, they jumped off their horses together, and one of them held the green trunk in his hand as if he were holding a scepter of light. They whispered something as they followed closely behind the Bishop, not half a step behind, never more than a foot.

The mud on the ground didn't bother the four Punishment Knights, who were emitting a faint glow from their feet, unlike the Stuttgart Knights.

When the lights first appeared, they weren't noticeable, but soon, the trunk in the knight's hand reacted with them. At that moment, it seemed that a path of light suddenly surged from the ground, and along this long path led to the darkness ahead. Walking on this bright path is like walking in the purest of rivers, and the muddy slush has no effect on the Knight's boots.

Seeing this, the knight captain just now realized that the green trunk was actually some kind of kindness released by the owner of the horse, but because he was no longer so religious, he couldn't feel the kindness and warmth of the trunk at all. Thinking of this, the squadron leader again drew a cross on his chest and praised: "Oh my lord, praise! I know that you are watching everything, you know everything, and if we are blinded and turn away from your kindness, you will do miracles to bring us back to your light. ”

The captain was also a little surprised by what he saw, but now was no longer the time to get to the bottom of it, and the priests of the entire castle had already stepped out. Not only were the priests from Stuttgart Castle, but also a number of church priests near Stuttgart, including the chaplain priests of the Knights of Punishment who guarded the main road, were summoned by the Bishop of Stuttgart to discuss the upcoming Easter Mass. And now the clergy have come out in a row, in a neat row of four, praising the prestige of the Lord and walking on the path of the white light.

Thanks to the continuous participation of these priests, the path of light has become more pure, and to Zuihou, it is no longer just a fiction of light, but more like a path of condensation.

It was only at this time that Tustaff, Count of Stuttgart, came out of the castle, looked at the bright path, drew a cross on his chest irregularly, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”

"I don't know, my lord," said the captain, who had already jumped off his horse, and deliberately stood at the corner of the path of light, so that his feet would not suffer from touching the cold ground, and looking at the backs of the priests, the captain lifted his mask and said, "A priest came in with a branch, and then the bishop hurried away, and then, as you see it now." ”

Tustaff turned his head to look at the captain and asked in a low voice, "Where are you?" ”

"Uh, I'm in, uh, I'm in the barracks in the back, you know, there's a lot of security issues to address at this dinner......"

"Shut up, your mouth full of wine says it all, has your crotch been cleaned up? If not, it's better to clean up now, it's hot enough here to freeze your stuff on the armor. ”

In the first few sentences, the earl said very harshly, but when it came to the two sentences, there was an indescribable strange taste in the words. The smell made the handsome captain's face change slightly, and then he hurriedly bowed and rode away.

Watching the captain leave, the Count turned his head to look at a knight next to him and asked, "Which one?" ”

"Viscount Raffner's wife, my lord, and two other ladies, but before it even began, this is what happened here."

Tustaff smacked his lips slightly and whispered, "It's filthy, I hate him like this." ”

The knight who answered shook his body and asked, "My lord?" ”

Tustaff didn't say anything, instead turned his head to look out of the castle. There, the path of light is gradually dimming until Zuihou disappears. Eventually, silence returned to the outside of the castle, like two distinct shijies compared to the bustle that had resumed inside the castle, and the two shijies were right here with the count, separated by soldiers and the castle gates.

What happened at the castle gate had nothing to do with Bishop Novman, who was at the front of the procession, and he quickly walked to the exit of the passage. There, the magnificent carriage stood motionless, as if it had just arrived, as if it had stopped there at the beginning of the construction of the road.

The cardinal walked all the way to the carriage and then whispered, "The previous trial in the south did not make me realize that you had come to Stuttgart. I thought you were going to continue to the Rose Territory, but I didn't think you'd be here. Forgive my stupidity, and when you see the scene where the Light of Judgment remains, you should know that only you can pull off such miracles. “

There was silence in the carriage for a while, and then Xiao Yan's voice came out: "The Lord asked me to walk, and there must not be only one direction. The origin of sin and uncleanness is what the Lord abhors, and I am walking here to see all this. ”

Novman drew a cross on his chest and praised: "Praise, my Lord, always, all-knowing and all-powerful." ”

With the cardinal's praise, the wooden door next to the luxurious carriage creaked open, and Xiao Yan wore a simple robe, hid his face in the hood, and slowly walked down. (To be continued......)
