Chapter 0160: The Death of Pugna
Cybertron was about to collapse, Pugna's breath became very weak, and now the Holy See was close at hand, but the door of the Holy See was closed, and it began to rain in the sky, and the raindrops hit the ground, making a ticking sound, and ran to the closed door of the Holy See, and Cybertron put down Pugna.
"Hold on, the Holy See may have a way. Cybertron banged on the closed doors of the church, which, according to the Holy See's rules, could not be closed at any time, but now he had no trouble nitpicking about these things.
Of course, Pugner knew what was going to come next, and even if there was a way, the Holy See would not come to his rescue, and he reached out and grabbed the paladin's clothes. "Cybertron, remember to be vigilant later, reminding you is the only thing I can do at the moment, trust me, a dying man will not lie to you. ”
The paladin looked down at the dying Pugna and finally nodded, as if to fulfill the old man's last request, which any kind person would do.
The door of the church finally opened, and the old monk looked at the young man at the door, and said impatiently: "Young man, go back quickly, the church will not be open at night." ”
The paladin blocked the door of the church that was about to close with his palm, and said angrily: "Damn it, get out of the way, or I'll make you look good." With his outstretched palm, he pushed the old monk open, and then with both hands he pushed open the heavy church door, which was quite large in baroque style, and could be carved with intricate motifs from the Holy See's Holy Texts.
Picking up Pagna and entering the church, he put the injured old man in a seat, turned around and said coldly: "Let your cardinal come out, hurry up." ”
The old friar, frightened by the angry paladin, turned away, and quickly entered the back door of the church, and through the back door entered some rooms, where the officials of the Holy See usually be, ran to a door, and immediately knocked on the door and shouted: "Mr. Salah, hurry up, someone has come to the church to cause trouble." ”
Salah leaned on his desk, wiping every golden Caesar, he loved money, and although most of it had to be honored by the higher echelons of the Holy See, his income was quite good. "Lovely gold coins, how much to love, no one will hate you, from kings to commoners, they all regard you as a holy relic. ”
The sound of a knock on the door quickly interrupted his thoughts, he was a little dissatisfied, at this time Patrick this old fellow was not at ease, what did he want to do, put away the gold coins, Salah got up and walked to the door, opened the small window on the door. "Patrick, you're making me loud, damn it. ”
Patrick's voice immediately lowered, and he whispered through the small window, "Mr. Bishop, there's a guy who has broken into the church and caused trouble, go and take a look." ”
"You should go to those powerful paladins for this, not me, damn thing. "Salah is extremely dissatisfied.
"He's a paladin, and he's got an old fellow with him, and he seems to be dying, and he's said he's going to see you. Patrick pleaded.
A young paladin? with a dying old fellow? Is there something big? Salah looked through the window. "When I'm dressed, you go tell the paladins that it's time to go to work. ”
Closing the small window, Salah returned to the hanger, put on the red robe that symbolized the cardinal archbishop, then took the badge issued by the Holy See, straightened his hair, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong, he walked out of the room and walked through the narrow corridor to the hall.
The paladins were already there, all armed and surrounded the strange young man who was in a very bad state, and the situation was quite serious.
Salah was seen coming, and a paladin turned back to report. "Mr. Bishop, he is the Paladin wanted by the Holy See, and there is an old fellow, the Cardinal Archbishop of the Holy See of Varna, what should I do?"
Salah did not expect this to be the case, he quickly walked up and looked at the young man's face, only to find the old man lying on the chair pale and bleeding all over the ground, it was Pugna, he recognized, the same cardinal archbishop, whom he had seen when he had reported to the Holy See.
Now these two people are indeed wanted criminals of the Holy See, and the Holy See has put a huge bounty on them for this, and if these two people can be taken, there will be a lot of rewards.
Salah thought of this, and said coldly: "Traitor to the Holy See, what do you want?"
Cybertron looked at Salah, the wound on his arm was now almost healed, and it didn't affect his movements, he half-knelt on the ground, bowing reverently. "My Excellency, I am not a traitor to the Holy See, and I have come here to explain to you that there is some misunderstanding. ”
Salah looked at Pagna, then his gaze returned to the paladin, it seemed that the bounty did not have to go through a battle, it only needed to use a little brain, and he asked the paladins to stand on his left and right to protect, and stretched out his hand. "Please, paladin, what's going on. ”
Cybertron recounted what had happened, indignant and a little excited, because soon he would be cleared of his name and become a paladin again.
Salah pretended to be distressed and said sadly: "The Holy See almost wronged a loyal and upright paladin and a cardinal archbishop of the Holy See, child, don't worry, I will explain to the Pope for you, and you can return to your original identity when the time comes, but before that, you have to suffer some grievances and stay with us." ”
Cybertron was stunned, glanced at Pugna, and explained, "I'm sorry, you probably misunderstood, I'm the only one who has been wronged. ”
Salah was embarrassed for a moment, then looked at Pagna. "And ...... he?"
"Mr. Pugner has changed his ways, he knows that he has made an unforgivable mistake, so he has come to repent of the sins he has committed, and he is able to testify to me that what I said is true. Cybertron told the other man, looking at the dying paladin. "For his sake, save him. ”
Salah can't save people, he laughed mockingly from the bottom of his heart, a little paladin doesn't know, but as a cardinal, Pagna will never be unaware of the situation, it's ridiculous that he wants to repent of the crimes he has committed, but he still has to act.
"Don't worry, I'll give it a try. Salah walked over to Pagna, checked the injury, and shook his head. "It doesn't seem to work, his organs are shattered, who would be so cruel. ”
Cybertron remembered what had happened earlier and said angrily, "Lord Bishop, someone who openly used supernatural powers in Hawke to hurt Mr. Pagna should be punished by the Holy See. ”
Salah pretended to be shocked. "What, I'm going to definitely punish these guys who violate the Holy Law. He instructed the paladin behind him. "Tie up that paladin and bring it to my room. He explained to the paladin. "I'm sorry I had to do this before the Pope didn't have a receipt. ”
The paladin looked at Pagner worriedly, and Pagna shook his head and made a faint sound. "I'm fine, it's my retribution. ”
The paladins sprang into action, tied up Cybertron, and then led Pagna and Cybertron to a cold room.
Usually there are places where the Holy See imprisons heretics who violate the Holy Law and will not punish them until the Pope gives them a receipt.
Then Salah walked in, followed by several paladins, he changed his previous attitude, and said with a cruel smile: "Naive paladin, this is your own net, no wonder me." ”
Cybertron was stunned and exclaimed, "Your Excellency, ...... Bishop."
"Come on, now I've got to tell you, your head is worth a lot. Salah returned to his true self and said cruelly: "And you want the Holy See to prove your innocence, it is absolutely impossible, the Holy See will not do this, it is really stupid." ”
Then he looked at Pugna, who was dying. "Pugna, didn't you tell the paladins what the Holy See is like now, and there is no justice at all. ”
Pugna didn't respond, and lay quietly.
Cybertron now understands that Salah has also betrayed the Holy See, betrayed God, he only likes money, the paladin's heart is dripping blood, he is in great pain, and he cries out angrily: "Let go of me, I will punish you scum." ”
Salah let out a maniacian laugh. "Don't be stupid, stay here and die, by the way, I have to tell you, I know the guy you said tonight who broke the Holy Law, his name is Kadr, he is a bounty hunter, he has a good relationship with me, we are good friends, mutual benefit, he plays another game tonight, it is I who ordered the Holy See not to spoil his good deeds. ”
By the time everyone left, now only the tied paladins and the dying Pugna were left, and the cardinal of the Hawke Holy See didn't even bother to listen to Pagner prove to the paladins, there were full of loopholes in what happened before, but at that time Cybertron was too eager to prove his innocence, because he was too excited, he forgot what Pugner reminded him at the door, and now he regretted it.
Holding Pugna, Cybertron said bitterly: "Pugna, I'm sorry I hurt you." ”
Pugna grabbed Cybertron's arm. "Now you understand my good intentions, son, you are a good man and should not be treated like this. His bloodied hand opened, and it was a paper bag.
Cybertron took the packet, a witchcraft potion that had been used in the Seminary, and Pugna used the last of his strength. "Go, paladin, farewell. ”
Pugna closed his eyes, he hoped to wake up the paladin with his life, and Cybertron looked at the corpse in front of him, and his hand gradually became cold.
He had to get out of here, someone was dying for him, he got up, he used a potion of witchcraft, simple witchcraft spells he had learned, broke free from the rope, and got out of the narrow window.
The heavy rain turned the ground muddy, and the paladin left the Holy See, but he would not rest on his laurels, not just because of Pagna's death, and he looked up at the heavy rain in the dark sky. "Anyone who violates the law deserves to die. ”
He went to a nearby craft shop, some of Hawke's shops would be open all night, and it was also because of his freedom that the paladin walked in.
"I need a sword or a knife. ”
Seeing the young man soaking wet, the boss took a knife. "Look, the famous knife from Quinn County is of pretty good quality. ”
Quinshire has a number of craftsmen who are skilled in forging swords, which represent good quality, and merchants usually deceive some unskilled people with shoddy qualities.
The paladin picked up his sword, and he weighed it. "It's a bit light. ”
The merchant could see that the young man had some experience with swords, and it was obvious that the garbage could not fool the other party, so he took out another one from the counter. "Three Golden Caesars, excellent quality. ”
Cybertron weighed it for a moment, and with the right touch, he picked up the knife and turned to leave.
"You haven't paid yet. "The boss chased after him and stopped the young man.
"Those guests who have been deceived by you and bought inferior swords, their souls after death are enough to shut you up. The paladin issued a stern warning.
The boss could see that the young man had done everything, and he hurriedly retreated, muttering, "What a madman." ”
