He always used this method to eat until now he didn't care about eating the same kind of meat, it was nothing, and after eating the last piece of meat, Anruida's strength regained a little.

He rode his horse and hurried towards the darkest place, and under the darkness, some black figures appeared on the ground in the distance, and those black figures may be the Holy Cult Army, because those figures have left the Holy City, and the King's government army and the orc army have not yet arrived here.

There was barely any light visible to the naked eye, and he didn't have time to think about it so much, and continued to approach, and when he reached the front of the Holy City, the place that used to be illuminated by the stars at night emitted a strange smell, it was a rotten smell of corpses, disgusting.

Now the gates of the holy city were wide open, unguarded, unable to see their fingers, and even the horses under their crotches could hardly be seen, as if they were in a dark cave.

At this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance behind him, the sound of horses' hooves alternately, apparently there were two horses, and when he looked back, there was only darkness, and he could not see anything, but he had already guessed that it was the assassin and the wizard who were following him, and they were both the lackeys of the young man.

"Come, enter the Holy City, and then you will have to go to hell to be with that. "Alex himself didn't realize that he had become quite terrifying.

Wyatt and Elon Musk were fast, but the darkness in the distance also caught their attention, what the hell was going on with the darkness.

"The Holy City represents light, and usually the brightest stars shine here at night, what is going on now?" Elon Musk slowed down, looking at the darkness in the distance.

"No one knows better than you, the possessor of supernatural powers, how dark the Holy See is, and it's nothing strange that their true colors are revealed. Wyatt thinks this is the reason why the Holy See's true face is revealed.

Elon Musk explained: "You don't understand what I mean, the Holy See represents light on the surface, but they are indeed dark in private, more disgusting than any darkness, but the earth will not become so dim because of the darkness of the Holy See, Mother Earth is merciful, he should still be bright at the moment, and you listen, Mother Earth is crying, it must be something happening in the Holy City." ”

Wyatt paused for a moment and listened to the earth, which was trembling and making a faint cry, Elon Musk was right, the earth began to cry because of the darkness, and there was nothing to be seen on the barren plains outside the Holy City, but this could not stop his determination to avenge Bella.

Shook the reins. "The earth is crying, but we don't have time to ask her what trouble is going on, we have to solve Bella's problem first. ”

The two horses marched towards the Holy City, the Holy City has lost its former prosperity, it has become silent and deserted, as a resident here, Alex does not know what is happening here, probably because the people here are engaged in the war to defend the Holy City and the Holy See, and when the mission here is over, he will have to join the battle, even if he only has one arm left now, for the sake of the Holy See, he is willing to pay with his life.

He tied the horses to a pillar, which was a private house, where no one would be a thief and take other people's horses, so he didn't have to worry at all, especially now that there were fewer people.

The familiar streets, but the taste has changed a little, a disgusting aura is permeating, the sky is dark and lightless, or there is no sky above the Holy City now, only endless darkness, you can't see what is in the dark, this is harmless, and the Holy City will return to its previous state after the war is over.

The direction of the Holy City was darker than the rest of the place, and Alex walked down the street, sorting out the information he had received, which the Pope had to inform as soon as possible.

However, before he reached the gate of the Holy City, he saw some pedestrians, and it was rare to meet the people of the Holy City at night, and his mood became cheerful.

The pedestrians clamored for Alex to come over, and someone shouted, "Who are you, stand still and wait for inspection." ”

Alex looked at the people who came over and explained, "I'm a paladin, and it's nice to meet you. He held out his only arm to the first guy who came up. "It's great to see you. ”

He was not greeted by a friendly handshake, but by joining forces to push the paladin to the ground, one of whom taunted, "If you are a paladin, I am the Pope himself." ”

Alex was annoyed and struggled to yell. "Let me go, you fools, I want to see His Majesty the Pope, who are you, who dare to rush against His Majesty, I will tell him what is going on here. ”

"He looks like a crazy person, and he still doesn't understand what happened to him. The men pulled out the ropes and tied the paladin, and one of the leaders mocked, "I think it's a shameless thief who wants to come out and steal something and sell it." ”

Alex tried to explain, but his mouth was stuffed with something. "This guy is so annoying, shut him up, don't let him say those crazy things. ”

The leader looked at the paladin, who was very embarrassed. "Search him and see what the thief has learned tonight, it is the unfortunate man who has suffered. ”

Alex was angry, but he had no way to resist, he had lost the light, he still had an arm, he couldn't fight several civilians at the same time, and he couldn't speak, and he struggled only in exchange for rough treatment, and he could only wait until he was taken to the prison, where he slowly explained.

Someone felt a hard piece from the paladin's body and took it out. "God, it's a paladin's badge, is he really a paladin?"

"Don't tease me, how can a cripple be a paladin, and the paladin can't be subdued by a few of us, he must have stolen it from a certain paladin's house, it seems that the unlucky ghost is a paladin, it's really unfortunate, his crime is now not just a thief, but also disrespect to the Holy See. ”

"And what should we do?" asked their leader, who thought for a moment. "Take him to the prison and wait for him to pay the ransom. ”

Alex was taken away and taken all the way to the familiar Holy City prison, originally thinking that there were people he knew in the prison, and the other party would recognize him and then prove his identity, but now it seems that the prison is full of strange faces, there are no acquaintances, and no one recognizes him.

Now that all the forces of the Holy City have joined the war, the people here are civilians, including the guards inside the prison, who took the paladin all the way to a separate cell and threw it in.

There was a brief exchange between the two sides outside the door, and Alex heard the men who had captured him and explained to them where he had come from and some trumped-up charges, after which those who had captured him left, they were patrol guards in the Holy City.

After the patrol had left, Alex sat up and looked at the guard outside the door, who had done a little registration and beckoned his companions to come over. "Untie his rope, take the stuff off his mouth, I'll have to show him a little bit of the rules here. ”

The companions untied the prisoner according to the leader's instructions, and then took out the contents of his mouth, this time Alex learned wisely, and the explanation did not work, no one would believe that a man dressed like this and with a broken arm could be a paladin, not to mention that the patrol guard had already taken his badge.

Moving his muscles and bones to make his rope-bound body a little more comfortable, the guard with a pen and paper looked at the guy with the broken arm. "Thief with a broken arm, tell me your name. ”

"Alex Cavani. Alex replied earnestly, hoping that the other party would know that he was the number one among the Holy See's paladins.

But apparently the other party did not know, and continued to register and inquire. "Age, gender, and where you come from. ”

"Thirty-six, male, from the Holy City, I am a native here. Alex answered every question carefully, thinking about how to get out of here.

The introduction begins after the prison guard registers. "According to the patrol guards, you are guilty of stealing, but you are stealing the badge of the paladin, so there is also disrespect to the Holy See, this is not a small crime, the law of the Holy City is that you have to stay here for ten years. ”

Alex was almost driven crazy, and the guy here was not reasonable at all, he shouted: "You can't talk back, you have to go through the Judgment Department of the Holy City to determine my guilt, and then you have to make it public, and finally confirm that the prisoner has not protested before you can be convicted and imprisoned, this is the rule here." ”

The rules of the Holy See are like this, the prisoners here are convicted in this way, at least according to the rules of the Holy Law, although they have never been in prison, but these things need to be learned before becoming a paladin.

The prison guard looked at the angry prisoner with some surprise, and said in surprise: "It seems that you are a habitual offender, and you are so clear about the rules here, you can only explain it like this, then well, your sentence must be extended, fifteen years, and you will be able to leave here after fifteen years." ”

An explanation was actually exchanged for a punishment of five years in prison, Alex was quite dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to speak easily, these guys at the bottom of the Holy See are too dark, after leaving here, he will tell His Majesty the Pope about this, and then let the Pope personally carry out a reform here, so that these unruly guys will be laid off. 、

The guard was very pleased with the prisoner's reaction this time, put away the paper and pen, and said haughtily: "Thief, I have to explain to you again, if you don't want to stay here for fifteen years, there is another way. ”

It would be best if he could get out of here as soon as possible, Alex immediately asked, "What way?"

"Pay the fine, according to the rules, a prisoner like you needs to pay 3,000 gold Caesars, but today's day is good, you can get a 20% discount, you only need to pay 2,400 gold Caesars. The prison guard was quite kind. "Of course, if you can only take out a part, you can also pay in installments, up to three installments, eight hundred caesars each. ”
