Chapter 0202: Red Moss Town
Paladin Cybertron gets guidance from the pesky young man, and to prove his innocence, he needs to travel to a small town, Red Moss, which is located in the warm and humid south, named after the red moss that grows on the riverside near the town.
There were very few inhabitants in the small town, but the atmosphere of the town was quite good, and the children in the town saw the young stranger riding into the town, and they followed the horse and asked questions.
"Sir, where are you from?" asked a child.
"I'm from Blott City. "Cybertron rode his horse, enjoying the warm sun on his back, which was quite comfortable, and the climate here was so warm compared to Jules that I didn't want to leave, and the little river beside the road made a trickling sound of water, and the banks of the river were covered with red moss, which was quite wonderful.
The town is built along a small river, in the shape of a long strip, and you can see the whole town along the street, Cybertron tells him where he was born, and the children's expressions tell the paladins that they don't know the outside world, let alone the city of Brolot, and after thinking about it, Cybertron explains: "I'm coming from further north, where I think it's still winter, it's cold, it's snowing, but it's going to pass soon, because spring is coming." ”
This time the children understood, and some children were thoughtful. "We've heard of snow, it's white, it's wonderful, and the old people in the village have gone out and they'll talk about it when they come back. ”
"That's right, white. Cybertron took the reins of his horse and walked slowly, observing the town's customs, which were pitifully small, and he began to wonder if Downing was telling the truth.
"And what are you doing here?" asked the child.
"I'm looking for someone, you have a church in town, right? Until now, Cybertron hadn't seen a church, and he wondered if there was a church at all.
"Of course, Grandpa Van der Vaart lived in the church and he would teach us to read. The children replied.
It seems that there is indeed a church, and Downing said that Van der Vaart is a believer in the church here, and if he wants to prove his innocence, he must find Van der Vaart.
"We can take you there, but we have the conditions. A slightly older little girl made the offer.
Cybertron glanced at the little girl who made the offer, dismounted, and stroked the girl's head. "Tell me, what are your conditions?"
The little girl looked at the huge horse, a little frightened, but also a little longing. "We want to ride your horse, that's all. ”
What kind of conditions did Cybertron think it would be, but it was so simple to ride a horse, and these children were so simple compared to the adults, they didn't have as many bad intentions as adults.
Cybertron picked up the girl and put her on horseback. "Hold on to the reins of the horse, don't let go, treat it as your good friend so it doesn't hurt you. ”
The girl nervously grabbed the reins and stroked the horse's neck. "Horse, now that we're friends, you've got to carry me. ”
She was communicating with the horse, and although the horse might not understand, she knew that the girl would not hurt it, and Cybertron laughed, "That's right, that's it, communicate with it, and it will understand what you say." Then he picked up the two children and put them on horseback, which were not much for a horse compared to an adult.
Leading the horse's head, Cybertron walked ahead. "Three people at a time, meet your requirements. ”
The children's cheers attracted the attention of many women and girls washing clothes by the river, who saw strange paladins and children on their horses, smiling knowingly.
Cybertron didn't know what the girls were talking about, and it would be quite unpleasant for him to come close and listen.
Because the girls were discussing whether a handsome young man would take a fancy to one of them and stay here for the rest of his life, the girls' whispers were usually like that.
The horses had walked for a long time, until they were almost at the junction out of Red Moss, and at last they saw a dilapidated house, the small house that did not even look intact as the stables of Blot.
"Look, sir, the church you're looking for has arrived, and here it is. The girl, who had been replaced by another child from her horse, pointed to the small house on the side of the road.
Cybertron looked at the small house and frowned slightly, this is the church in Red Moss? The girl's next explanation confirmed Cybertron's thoughts.
"Grandpa Van der Vaart lives here, and I think he must be tinkering with his weird stuff at the moment. The little girl pointed to the little house and said, "Today is Sunday, we can rest and not go to school." ”
This meant that the paladin had to go in alone, dismissed the children, went to the hut, knocked on the door, and soon there was a response from inside. "Wait, it's right away. ”
After a while, the door opened, and a low old man appeared, staring at the paladin at the door. "I saw something, a stranger in town, still a paladin. ”
Cybertron had always been dressed in the papalin's attire, and he saluted respectfully. "Mr. Van der Vaart, I am Paladin Cybertron from the Holy See. He was considering whether he should tell the head of the church that he was wanted.
"Cybertron, what do you want to do?" Van der Vaart didn't seem to be in a good mood, and his words were tinged with vigilance.
Cybertron decided to keep things about himself hidden for the time being, to make sure that the other party was not as malicious to him as believers in other places as the Holy See in other places, and then decided on what to do next.
"Can I go in?" asked Cybertron.
Van der Vaart glanced back at the small room, shook his head and said, "Well, I don't think it's convenient, if I have something, we can talk outside." ”
This old man is a little strange, he seems to know something, can the other party see that he is a wanted criminal of the Holy See? But an old man, even if he knows that he is a wanted criminal, is not enough to pose a threat. Cybertron retreated a little farther away.
Van der Vaart closed the door and looked at everything in the room, he didn't want people to pollute this pure land, especially the so-called people of the Holy See, what he hated the most were those guys from the Holy See, but he also didn't like to be rude to others, no matter what, he had to go out and talk to the other party to see what the other party meant.
Taking two small stools, Van der Vaart pushed open the door and came out and handed a small stool to him. "Come on, let's sit down and have a good talk. ”
Sitting down, Cybertron felt that there was no need to hide it, and according to the other party's behavior, his identity had been revealed. "Well, I am indeed a wanted criminal of the Holy See, but things are not what you think, I can explain it, and I hope that the Holy See will return my innocence. ”
Cutting straight to the point, Van der Vaart's expression changed slightly, but became delighted. "What? Are you a wanted criminal for the Holy See?"
Cybertron paused. "You don't know?"
Van der Vaart's next reaction proved that the other party really didn't know, and Cybertron told Van der Vaart about what happened to him. "That's it, I'm here to prove my innocence, can you send me a letter to the Holy City to explain?"
Van der Vaart looked at the young man, and he shook his head. "I'm afraid not, I don't have much connection to the Holy City. ”
Cybertron was a little disappointed, a dilapidated church in a small town, not even a church, and the old man in front of him seemed to be just an ordinary believer, and there was no way to communicate with the Holy City, Downing lied to himself, but he didn't feel annoyed at the moment, because there was no much hope in the first place, in view of what had happened before, the paladin already felt that proving his innocence was quite slim.
"But I can communicate directly with God, and he will forgive you, dear paladin, for it is more authoritative to receive God's forgiveness than the forgiveness of the Holy See. Van der Vaart suddenly changed his tone and said, "Come in with me if you want." ”
Now that he learns that the Paladin is a traitor to the Holy See, Van der Vaart is extremely enthusiastic.
"What, you can communicate with the gods?" the paladin was stunned.
"That's right, follow me. Van der Vaart got up and took the small stool. "Only those who are truly faithful to God will be able to enter my hut, the only place where the Holy See has landed on the mainland, the only church. ”
Cybertron followed the other party into the hut in disbelief, although the hut was small, but the interior was fully equipped, a miniature version of the idol, some mats for prayer, and some strange instruments on the table next to it, the paladin did not have the heart to consider the role of those instruments, Van der Vaart should have been obsessed with these instruments before.
"Come, young man, kneel here and pray earnestly to God to prove your innocence. Van der Vaart pointed to the little idol and said kindly.
Cybertron knelt before the idol and repented sincerely, repenting of some of the sins he had committed, and finally asked God for forgiveness. But he didn't get a response from God, as if he were talking to another stone statue.
Van der Vaart helped the paladin to his feet. "Well, child, now that you have God's forgiveness and return to the Holy See, it's all over. ”
This is almost like a joke, so that he has returned to the Holy See and proved his innocence?Cybertron felt as if he had been fooled, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Mr. van der Vaart, are you playing with me?"
Van der Vaart looked a little innocent. "You said it, to get the Holy See's forgiveness, and now that you have done it, why do you say that. ”
"I'm still wanted by the Holy City, they don't know anything about here, and I'm just talking to myself in a damn hut, how can you say that you have been forgiven by the Holy See. The paladin was furious, and his finger pressed on the hilt of the holy sword, which was a newly crafted holy sword.
