"People want a benevolent master more than freedom"

I don't know when or who said this, and I don't know when it was said. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info But it points out one thing very well: a lot of times, freedom is not as good as people think.

Of course, there was no need for any political changes, and the Third Estate cut off the heads of countless nobles and then cut off the heads of countless Third Estates among themselves. Just the small thing of running away from home can make many people feel the other side of freedom. How many rich girls who eloped with a poor boy finally gave up love and chose reality because they couldn't stand poverty?

However, it is surprising that Elisa of the Capulet family and Daria of the Montague family have persevered in the harsh environment and difficult conditions that the noble lady would never have been able to hold on to, relying on their love for each other. You know, traveling in this day and age is definitely not a comfortable thing. Even the tried-and-true adventurers often complain about long journeys. But these two girls survived in this grim wilderness by the willpower born of love. It can be said that the love between them is not a play, but sincere.

In addition to the hardships and dangers of nature, there are also other dangers. Along the way, human bandits attacked once. And three more monster attacks. Fortunately, the mercenaries hired by the two were not bad, and not only did they block these attacks, but they also had no casualties.

"Well, it's all a little rough, can't you wear a veil, and the wind in the mountains is so strong......" Daria said with a cold finger on Alyssa's face, and then said with some regret.

"It's okay...... Aren't what we gain more valuable than what we lose?" said Alyssa in turn. To Daria's surprise, Alyssa, who had always been weak, actually survived in this harsh mountain. And it's getting stronger. Her changes have strengthened Daria's confidence in success.

"Miss, someone seems to be chasing us from behind. A mercenary's rough voice disturbed the world of Alyssa and Daria. So the two immediately separated, trying to look into the distance.

"The other party is waving at us, and it doesn't seem to be an enemy. The other mercenary took a closer look and spoke his opinion.

Despite this, Daria still ordered them to be vigilant, and put on a posture full of vigilance. However, it is not allowed to attack first, lest it turn passers-by into enemies.

Coming towards them was the same team led by the Holy Warrior Sylvia and the Holy Warrior Zephas. The two teams had stopped in the mountains for a brief meeting. Except that the priest in Zephas's ranks insisted on the execution of the two maidens (though even he did not approve of the execution of the two maidens). His idea was to let the two maidens go to the monastery for penance). The rest of the team were persuaded by Sylvia that they shouldn't persecute the two girls like that. On the one hand, they are secular people, not clergy, so they have a deep complex of heroes saving beauty - in their opinion, beautiful girls should be saved from all kinds of suffering by gentlemen. Instead of being slashed by a gentleman with a sword. On the other hand, they are too naïve to understand the various acts between lesbians - they think that the two girls are nothing more than touching each other in a suspicious way. Therefore, I did not feel that the actions of these two young girls were particularly unclean and unforgivable. Of course, Zefas, as the leader, raised the question of how to return to his life. In response, Sylvia gave him a blank look. Then tell him that he could kill two wild boars, take out the heart and stomach, and give them to the cardinal. Say it was the two poor maidens. As for the question of Zephas's fall...... Isn't that irreparable? Just find a reliable priest to confess, and then give money and gifts as donations, and then pray sincerely. This is not an unforgivable sin.

Therefore, now the members of these two teams are approaching these two girls with a different mentality.

And as they walked in, seeing the demeanor and temperament of the two girls (despite their veils!), the team members were even more reluctant to draw their swords against them.

"May I ask you two Alyssa of House Capulet and Daria of House Montagule?" said Sylvia, the paladin, who walked with her hands outstretched, indicating that she had no ill intent.

But Daria just looked at her coldly and didn't give the slightest answer.

"Well, I know your identity without answering. But rest assured, we are here to help you as friends. ”

"I don't see the need for your help. Daria said stiffly.

"Oh, what if I say that the Medici have sent their forces to capture you? And if you are allowed to fall into their hands and be tried by a court under their control, what will happen to you?"

Cannon branding, let the galloping horse drag to death...... One by one, the terrifying contents of the criminal law came to the minds of the two girls.

"So, please accept our help. You must know that we do not want to reciprocate, but choose to take risks to help you in good conscience. If you don't appreciate it, we'll be so disappointed......"

It can be said that the female paladin Sylvia does have a unique affinity. It's no wonder that many non-combat characters do it so well. After much effort, the two girls finally accepted them.

The assembled team set out on a journey again. This time, the number of people has increased dramatically, and the strength has skyrocketed several times. But neither the two maidens nor the female paladin Sylvia were reassured by this. On the contrary, they are extremely nervous. Because they knew very well how terrifying the strength of the Medici family was! It was not just an ordinary wealthy nobleman! but a noble family that often married their daughters into his royal family and had great influence on the land.

To do this, their group increased their travel speed. Expect to be able to evade the pursuit of your opponents. What worries them is that the two girls have already drunk the precious medicine. But the effects of the drug were gradual, and they would be followed by divination for a while.

Sure enough, at noon, their group was stopped on a knife-edge mountain path.

"Priests, warriors, witch hunters, ascetics...... Well, there are a few more guests from aristocratic families. Thankfully, there were no Inquisitions. The female paladin Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief after observing the other party for a while. These people are certainly not easy to deal with at the moment, but it will not make them helpless. But there will be a Inquisition. There's really nothing Silvia can do about it. Although Sylvia took the risk of doing such a saving thing, she definitely did not want to be branded a heretic and burned at the stake. The Inquisitors were so terrible that fighting them was definitely not the same thing as fighting some wealthy nobleman.

And the other party was already shouting from afar, and they said they knew who was on this side. and demanded that the two sinners be handed over immediately.

In this regard, Zefas and their side are naturally dismissive. In the process of getting along with the two girls, they gradually added new affections. Even the most stubborn priests now say they don't look like sinners. So, Zefas et al. answered very simply: weapons that sparkle in the sun!

The other side saw that there could be no peaceful solution. So, they were all ready for battle. One of them took off his cloak with a very dashing motion, wrapped it around his left arm as a shield, drew a sharp sword, and strode towards it.

"Ahh Then, she muttered, "Why did they get him out......

"Who is he?" Zefas asked.

It was the priest in his own ranks who answered him. "The man you are talking about in ascetic clothes? He was an incorrigible depravity, who had strayed from the righteous ways of the Christians. But he suddenly woke up, just like he was an outstanding representative of the playboy at the beginning, and became a representative of devout asceticism. Judging from the fact that this person took care of the sick during the Great Plague but was not infected, he must have some magical powers. ”

"yes, I've heard of this guy too. But I'm more concerned about the things he did when he was a playboy. It is said that he once killed a girl's father, brother, and sister. But later, with a few notes and a few glances, the girl could still be lured to follow him!" said the wanderer in the procession in an envious tone of the man's former depravity.

The priest glared fiercely at the wanderer. The latter, however, whistled nonchalantly and pulled out the crossbow in his hand.

An arrow swooped out and landed a few steps in front of the ascetic. The person who wasn't the archery didn't shoot accurately. Rather, it was a clear warning. As a line to remind the other side: if you cross the domain there, then it is a war!

But the ascetic stepped forward without hesitation.

Immediately, magic and arrows flew towards him, and under such a fierce attack, even an ogre would be instantly defeated. But the ascetic simply raised his arm wrapped around his cloak for protection, as if to use something so fragile to hold back such a violent force.

The magic exploded first, and the arrows followed. But as the smoke cleared, the man walked forward, as if he had only been bitten by some mosquito.

"Damn, are we attacking a saint?" the wanderer cursed, but still unfolded his crossbow with his hands and feet, ready for a new attack.

"As I said, he has always been known in the monastery for his amazing penance. It is said that it was only because he was worried that he would not have enough time to atone for his sins due to excessive penance, which would shorten his lifespan, that he lightened the intensity of his penance a little. The priest in Zephas's ranks said briefly. He didn't mention the penance, which was in battle after all. But his meaning had already been conveyed: that is, why the ascetic in front of him was able to sit down in such an astonishing place.

Resisting fireballs doesn't have to be done with magic like resisting elemental damage, just by relying on a pious spirit, you can do the same! Faith alone can actually do more incredible miracles than magic.

On November 24, I had a dream. I dreamed that I had finally found the ...... I wanted In the dream, some places are not as good as they should be. But if it does, I'm very happy.

In particular, after I found out in my dream that the thing I wanted happened, I was very happy to think about my novel...... The promise I made at the end of that chapter. So, in my dream, I began to think about how to modify the plot, even though I knew that changing the plot might reduce the number of readers.

Even in my dreams, I still keep in mind that if that thing comes true, I will revise the plot of the novel. If that had come true in my waking years, I would have made changes to the plot of the novel. However, it would be nice to be able to indicate which part of the novel to make changes.

Okay, I know this chapter is getting worse, but I'll try to fix it in two days.
