Volume 2 Wild Ambition Chapter 5 Exoneration Agreement (II)
"How could this happen?" Greif was incredulous at Fidel's lack of resistance, he couldn't accept that now that all of them were arrested in the church's prison, especially the Duke's daughter, "God knows what they would do to us?!"
"I think things are turning around, you see the Church Knights haven't even taken our weapons, have they?" said Noor.
Originally, when he was caught, Kiro proposed to hand over all the weapons to the Church Knights for "safekeeping", but Matthews grabbed the other party's collar and loudly scolded the young and handsome knight chief: "If I take Lao Tzu's weapon, I will cut you down now!"
The young chief knight retreated from this intimidation, and he immediately stated that the people would receive the fairest trial and would not be treated unfairly for not paying the forgiveness money.
"We're but—" Greif wanted to reveal Cash's identity in exchange for getting out, but his mouth was held tightly by Thread.
In fact, when Kiro saw that Fidel dared to refuse to pay the forgiveness money, he restrained his arrogance a little at the beginning, he was not a brave man in the first place, and the original trick turned out to be ineffective for them, so he had to report the matter to the archbishop, after all, the whole city saw this group of people entering the church under escort. Fei De could see the doubts in the other party's eyes, did the other party think that they couldn't take out the three thousand gold coins?
Everyone in the Potato Mercenary Regiment has their own agenda. Patrick closed his eyes and sat in a corner, the Marcus brothers walked up and down the cage, looking restless, Big-Nosed Fan still looked calm, and Coth just looked at Fidel silently and didn't say a word.
Feder called Keth to his side, "If they end up condemning us, you can consider telling them who you really are, and you'll be fine." ”
"But it's obviously the person who killed Ayana, why should the entire mercenary group be held responsible?"
Ayana had been silent since she was brought into the City of Light, the arrows in her quiver had long since been gone, but she did not show the slightest timidity, and it seemed that she had nothing to do with the murderers of the four Knights of the Church who were killed.
"I promised Russell to take care of that little girl. ”
After hearing Feide's words, Ayana glanced at the other party, but there was no gratitude in that look, but another kind of coldness, like looking at a person who deliberately pleases herself.
Just when everyone was at a loss, the prison door was opened, and Avi walked in the direction of Feld with a bunch of keys in his hand, "Quick! Let's get out of here!"
Everyone was pleasantly surprised to see Avi, who they didn't expect to get the key from the guards. But instead of going through the door of Avi's cell, Feder pulled the other man in, then relocked the door with the key, and buried the keychain in the grass in the cell.
Matthews was also surprised that Fed had given up on his escape, but he soon understood that four members of the Knights of the Church had arrived from outside the prison, and behind them was a middle-aged man in a bright red bishop's robe.
Avi realized that he had almost done something bad with good intentions, he had just sneaked into the church, and then found that the security here was very lax, and even the clergy with the key were dozing, so he had the idea of rescuing his companions, but he didn't expect him to walk in with his front foot, followed by a group of people.
Fed bowed his head to Avi and said, "Even if we escape from prison, we won't be able to escape far, but we still thank you." ”
Avi nodded, and the others gave them approving glances.
"You're the potatoes... Potato mercenary regiment?" asked a knight standing outside his cell with a bunch of spare keys in his hand.
"That's right. ”
"This is our archbishop Arthur Auerbach, and now I would like to ask your chief to come out. With that, the knight moved out of the way and let the middle-aged man in red step forward.
Feder stood at the back of the cell, and he saw that this cardinal was good-looking, with gentle eyes, and a bit of the temperament of the first patriarch, Tyre, but the other party had a little less wisdom than Tyr, and Feder did not see his wisdom from the archbishop.
"Hello sir, I am Arthur, Archbishop of the Papal States, we have already conducted an investigation, and I especially thank you for assisting the Knights of the Church in eliminating the spies of the Empire, and I hope that your delegation will not take the matter of being sent to prison to heart. ”
Unexpectedly, the archbishop solved the incident as soon as he opened his mouth, he not only talked about it, but also took out the key himself and unlocked the lock of the cell, which surprised everyone in the potato mercenary group. Fed, on the other hand, suspected that he was not the real archbishop, for he had already seen that the bishop that the chief knight Kiro had hired was in fact an ordinary clergyman, who was only trying to cooperate with the deception of their money.
The archbishop tried to grab Fidel with his hand, but Fidel avoided him, "Archbishop, I don't know about the two knight captains Kiro and Riley..."
"Oh, I've already investigated, both of them have been taken into custody for violating our teachings, and I'm sure the trial will bring you justice in the future. The archbishop asked one of the knights behind him to pull out a document and give it to Fidel.
Fed didn't expect the archbishop of the Papal States to settle their matter so quickly, and also arrested the two knights, it seems that this cardinal has some ability.
"I know you're a mercenary group, and now we in the Papal States need something like Field," the bishop paused abruptly, and then continued, "There is a need for mercenary groups like yours, so this document is a document that includes your potato mercenary group in the legal mercenary group of the Papal States, and I hope you can accept it, and it can be regarded as an apology from the church to you." ”
Everyone in the Potato Mercenary Group was overjoyed, but they didn't expect that the people who were worried about the prison just now were instantly released by the archbishop of the church and gave a generous gift.
Originally, the document of the legal mercenary group could only be obtained by application, but I didn't expect that the real power of the church would personally send it to the hands of Fei De and his party, and no one would have thought that things would develop in this direction. Although the sudden turn of events confirmed what Feder had thought of as he was at ease, he always felt that the cardinal's approach was a bit sloppy. Fed believed that the archbishop and his party would surely find out that the keys of the guards outside were missing, but why didn't he reveal the matter? How did he find out the truth of today's incident? And why did he arrest the two knights of the Church Order at once for the sake of a weak mercenary group from outside?
"Don't linger any longer, please leave the church prison as soon as possible!" a knight behind the archbishop respectfully opened the door to the cell, allowing the group to leave.
With the exception of Feyder and Patrick, everyone else left the cage with joy, only the two of them exchanged a look, and they realized that it wasn't that simple.
