Avi spent the rest of his life wandering around the city full of piety, and he found that the people here were smiling, even the soldiers kept smiling on their faces, perhaps because the people here were rich and happy, or perhaps there was faith in the hearts of the people, and in any case the whole city seemed to be happy—except for the clergy, who gave a restless feeling, and there was always a longing behind their eyes.

Avita didn't know what it was, he figured that only people inside the Illuminati would know.

The streets and alleys of the Holy Light City were full of people, something that Avi couldn't see in the City of Honor and the City of Golden Feet. There are a lot of people on the roads, and it is estimated that more than half a million people live in the city. Unlike the big cities of other countries, the city of Light was surrounded by a large number of people who had built their own houses outside the walls, and Avi had discovered this unusual place while riding out. Compared to the small city walls, the civilian settlements on the periphery were more like the "city walls" of the city, and those settlements extended all the way to the rural villages outside the city, and the entire Holy Light City was also greatly enlarged by these houses.

There were not many soldiers in a city with such a large population, and the guards of the Holy Light City, in addition to the troops of the Papal States, were mainly handed over to the Knights of the Church and the armed clergy of the Church.

Avi learns that every member of the Church Knights is a knight, some are knights from other countries who have joined the Church of Light because they believe in the Cult of Light, and some are knights who have grown up in the Papal States, but no matter how they become a member of the Church Order, they are loyal to the Pope. Especially the native-born knights, each of them has been exposed to religion since childhood, and their feelings for the Holy Light City are deeper than anyone else's. Over the years, the Papal States have neither increased nor reduced more than half of their land, which gives all those who have protected the city a strong sense of belonging – this is their home, not one of them.

However, the moment Avi saw the Knights of the Church with his own eyes, it turned out to be when the knights were escorting their companions.

Avi saw a group of members of the Church Knights wrap Fidel and his party in the middle, sending them in the direction of one of the churches. If the word "escort" is inappropriate, consider using "escort", as Fidel's party did not show any anger or frustration, and the members of the Order began to talk to some of them. It's just that those church knights are holding the handles of their weapons, and they are indeed vigilant against the potato mercenary group.

Avi was going to rush over and ask what was going on, but he saw that everyone except himself was under control, and if he also fell into the hands of the church, he was afraid that there would be no room for maneuver - he didn't expect that the big-nosed Fan would be controlled with them, and according to what he knew about Fan, the other party would definitely be witty and slip away when it was dangerous, which also proved that they were safe.

Fidel and his party were taken to one of the churches by Kiro, and they were surrounded by twice as many church knights as they had before entering the city. According to Fidel, a team of church knights had gone to the place where they had buried their bodies, and now there was no need to hide the bodies buried under the trees.

Quiro said he would ask the archbishop for advice before bringing them in to assist in the investigation.

"Hmph, it looks like the promise won't be kept," Noor crossed his hands on his chest, and after listening to Fidel's account, the chief knight Kiro said that he would not throw the responsibility for this matter to them, and that he would definitely be able to free everyone, "Look at that little white face, the pace of leaving here is really urgent." ”

"It's just that if you want to let us go, you won't let so many armed men revolve around us. Marcus gestured to the men standing in the doorway of the church, each of them heavily armed.

Patrick also said: "The guy doesn't seem to be the kind of person who can say anything, and it wouldn't be a bit too risky for us to put all the stakes on him." ”

Of course, Feder knew that he couldn't put all the stakes on one knight, but now they couldn't resist the other's detention, and he had learned from his experiences along the way to be at ease, and sometimes things that seemed dangerous often didn't turn out badly.

"Did you notice, Avi was hiding in the crowd just now. "Greif, he has been constantly watching the movements around him since he entered the city, and he can't put Cose on a dangerous path, especially when he comes to the Papal States, which is so close to the Duchy of Dlaman, and it is not surprising that he meets someone who knows Cose. It's just that the danger was not discovered, but the Avi was seen by him.

"Will that kid run away on his own when he sees us being caught?" said Matthews.

"Don't talk nonsense, that person even Deputy Head of the Fielder trusts him very much, and he won't run away. "Brother Marcus knew that Fei De had handed over five hundred gold coins to Avi, and asked the other party to come here first to take care of everything. For a mercenary, five hundred gold coins was enough to live a peaceful life, and it was not impossible for that young man to really see them in trouble and take away the gold coins.

"No, he's not that kind of person. Fan sat down on a bench, crossed his legs with a big grin, and folded his hands behind his head, as if nothing was going on around him.

Feder knew that Avi, Van and Carrie were very good companions and would not abandon each other, but he didn't know where the brunette had gone, and Avi hadn't told him about it.

"Now is not the time to think about it, let's think about how those people will interrogate us, right?" Noor drew everyone's attention back, he himself was a thief, although he had now become a mercenary with Fed, but in his heart he still feared that one day he would be found out by the law.

For the next half hour, Fiddle and his party were talking without a word, while the guards and armed clergy who guarded them stood at a distance, looking wary.

"Long wait!" said Kiro as he stepped out of the inner courtyard of the church, beside him a middle-aged clergyman and Riley.

Fei De and the others all got up from the benches and walked over to each other.

"No, no, it's good that we keep this distance," Kiro sensed Riley's disgust beside him, and in order to prevent the two sides from clashing, he hurriedly stepped forward and stood in front of Riley, "This is the bishop of this church, and since our archbishop has official duties, he can't spare time to meet with you." With that, Kiro led the middle-aged clergyman to Fidel.

"You just... It's the mercenaries of the Potato Mercenary Group, isn't it?" The middle-aged clergyman looked nervous and restrained, and did not look like a bishop.

Fidd: "That's right, I'm the deputy head of this mercenary group. ”

"That's... Where's your commander?"

"He's not here. ”

After Kiro and the bishop exchanged glances, the bishop continued, "I already know a little about your actions outside of the City of Light, and now I want to propose a solution. ”

Fett noticed that the bishop was dressed exactly like the other clergy standing at a distance, and that when he spoke, he would occasionally glance back at Kiro and Riley, looking like the two knights' spokesmen. But since the other party has proposed a solution, it doesn't hurt to listen to it.

"My solution is a private plan, if you do what I say, then you will not be charged by the church," the bishop slowly took out a roll of papers from his sleeve and spread it out, "as long as you sign on it and pay the forgiveness of three thousand gold coins, you will be able to write off your previous mistakes, and we will not hold you accountable again." The bishop was a protocol, an agreement for both signatories to agree and then deliver the forgiveness to the church, in which it did not say anything that Fielder and his party had committed, but only vaguely said "against the will of religion."

Kesi was the first to object, how could she let the gold coins that Fidel had worked so hard to borrow from the Rock Thieves be so easy to give to someone else, she had no way to accept the other party's proposal. Except for this duke's daughter, everyone else also expressed their dissatisfaction together, only the big-nosed Fan watched coldly as if nothing happened.

"Is this proposal from the church in your country?" Fielder asked.

"Of course... Of course, I'm the bishop of this church, don't you even believe what I'm saying?" the bishop glanced at Kiro before saying this, and then pulled his clothes with his hand, so that his big belly would not be too conspicuous.

Fei De has seen through the trick of the other party, these people are just making their own forgiveness agreements for the purpose of blackmailing money, but if they do not accept the other party's proposal, I believe there will be no other better way to go.

"No, no, no! This kind of proposal is simply unreasonable, we are killing by mistake..."Marcus shouted loudly, and even the guards behind him looked over.

"If you don't accept it, take them all down!, wait for the judgment of the church!" Riley shouted, interrupting the other man's words. Although this knight chief is also in the same group as Kiro, he would rather see this group of mercenaries die than pay forgiveness, and he can't swallow that breath of being tied up and insulted - once upon a time did the knight chief of the Church Knights suffer such humiliation?

"What if we don't accept the proposal?" asked Patrick Defield.

"Then they will all be imprisoned in prison and wait for the Archbishop's free time for unified approval, and then it will be difficult to pay the forgiveness money!" a sly smile appeared on the corner of Kiro's mouth, and his originally handsome facial features changed in an instant.

Fett thought about it quickly, and he responded, "Then lock us up." ”

Kiro and the three of them were surprised by Fiddle's reaction, and the knight chief Riley changed from a slightly surprised expression to a hideous grin, "Hmph, after being judged guilty, we will still take your belongings, it's too late to regret it now, go to hell and wait for death!"

Kiro looked confused, but he immediately had the armed clergy take Fider and his party to prison.
