Chapter 841: The First Step in Rooting the Church
Not only the soldiers defending the city, but the entire Levin Lite had actually been awakened by that loud noise.
The dark city is instantly lit up with lights from street to street. I was already living in a tense atmosphere, and there was a loud noise in the sky, how could anyone continue to sleep peacefully? I could only walk out of the door one after another, looking up in amazement.
This is especially true of St. Peter's Basilica, but in just a dozen seconds, the priests covered in holy light flew out one after another.
However, the figure in the sky did not stay long.
Rumble!
Another loud bang. Everyone clearly saw that a fist glowing with blue light flew out and slammed straight into the protective barrier of Honwright. Suddenly, the enchantment trembled, and a large hole was opened by the fist.
— and it seemed exactly like what they had seen months before.
And after the barrier was broken, the figure in the sky flew out of the big hole with the blister containing the person, and disappeared to the southeast of Havenlite.
"Damn...... Let him run away again!"
As soon as the priest chased to the edge of the breach in the barrier, he couldn't even see the figure, and even if he was unwilling, he could only give up the pursuit.
After a while, more than a dozen bishops who remained in the city also flew over. After listening to the situation, they looked at the big hole that had been punched out of the barrier, and their faces were gloomy, as if they had eaten Xiang.
"What shall we do now, Lord Bishop?" asked one of the priests cautiously.
"Inform all the sentry posts near the royal capital, that kid will fly all the way over, and he will definitely be able to find out the direction of his escape! The prefect, who seemed to be the eldest, sighed and said, "Also...... Find a way to inform His Holiness the Pope. If he doesn't come back, that kid will ride on top of us!"
The priests nodded, and quickly dispersed, going their separate ways. Haven Wright, who was suddenly awakened, gradually returned to silence. There was a lot of discussion in private, some were angry, some were happy, especially the nobles in the city, who were so angry by this scene that they ran out of the meeting overnight to discuss what to do in such an out-of-control situation.
The barrier was closed again, and the soldiers searching the streets returned to the barracks - in the eyes of all, the mage who had robbed the king had forcibly broken through the blockade and left Haven Wright, and the blockade of the church had completely lost its meaning.
It's time for them to get out of here.
However......
The next afternoon.
"The gates have been sealed for so long, and today they are finally opened. Big brother, my father is sick like this, is it really only possible to go to an old doctor in the countryside to cure him?"
At the reopened city gate, there were three young men pushing a cart, and a middle-aged man in an unconscious was lying on the cart. They were following the crowd out of the city, and one of the girls suddenly turned her head and asked the young man next to her.
"Don't worry, as long as you go out, there will be a way. The young man smiled reluctantly at her and touched her head in reassurance.
Although the royal capital has been unsealed, the soldiers defending the city are still checking the crowd of people, and if they see something suspicious, they will arrest it and check it carefully. And as the family walked out talking and pushing the ice blades on the cart, the soldiers just gave them a casual look.
"Poor ......"
The soldier sighed casually, and released the men out of Havenlight.
Leaving the city gates, they entered the main road. There were so many residents out of the city that the three men mixed in with the crowd and soon disappeared.
Half an hour later.
"Okay, no matter what means are used by the sub-church, it is impossible to track down our location. The three stopped in an open wilderness, and Benjamin said as he pulled up the king, who was lying in the car and pretended to be sick.
- He still has lingering fears about the church's tracking methods. Just like when he and Michelle mixed out of the royal capital together, obviously there were no clues, but the people of the church finally caught up, and he had to be extremely careful under various considerations.
First, he staged a play last night, making them think that they had forcibly run away with someone, and then continued to fly towards the east with a simulated human figure with water, but he quietly came back and swaggered out of the royal capital with his two siblings and the king. I am afraid that the church will never think of such a route in its lifetime.
They will only continue their search to the east, and will not know Benjamin's true location.
"Hard, hard work...... the king got up from the car, nodded, and looked at Benjamin with a little fear, "but ...... Now that we're out of the royal capital, what are we going to do with the church?"
Benjamin smiled when he heard this.
"If you want to deal with the church, how can you start with Haven Wright?" he said slowly, "the foundation of the church is not there, and even if I have the ability to completely destroy this church, I will not be able to clean up the countless priests. ”
"And where are their roots?"
"In the churches of every town, in every village. Benjamin said, suddenly turning his head in the direction of the nearest town to them, and smiling evilly.
The king and the two siblings were stunned.
In this way, while the Church sent a large group of men and horses to search the east, they also set out and reached the first town near the west of Havenlite as fast as possible.
Town of Hendri.
As in every town, the mayor's house was built very close to the church, and the council chamber was built next to each other to facilitate communication in the event of an accident. It's just that on this day, when four mysterious visitors suddenly appeared in front of the mayor, no one dared to send a message to the church.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
The mayor, who was probably in his forties, stared wide-eyed at the familiar faces that appeared in front of him, and almost knelt down with weak legs, and couldn't help but let out such an exclamation.
"Shh......h Quietly, the church is still trying to hunt me down. The king hurriedly helped the other man up.
"But...... But doesn't the notice say, Your Majesty...... You fell for sorcery and were robbed of the cathedral by an evil mage from abroad, how could you ......"
"No, it's the church that is really evil. "They have long since betrayed the will of God, and have not only framed me for witchcraft, kept me under house arrest, and even tried to kill me! ”
The mayor's face changed greatly: "This ...... House arrest...... Are those rumors true?"
He didn't doubt the authenticity of the king in front of him, half because he went to the royal capital several times a year to meet him, and he was actually very familiar with the king. The other half is the gossip that has gradually set off in China recently.
After all, the king has been locked up by the church, and the government affairs are handled by others, and the people below will inevitably have doubts in their hearts - and the mayor of the town is no different. And when the familiar king appeared in front of him, he naturally had a sudden feeling in his heart.
Other than that...... There was also a gut instinct that made him wonder why he kept remembering the annoying parts of the church, and he felt that the king's words were all the more credible.
It's just that suddenly being involved in such an astonishing incident quickly showed fear on the mayor's face.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Maybe you should leave in case you let the church know...... They're right next door, so be careful!"
The king shook his hand and reassured, "Don't worry, the church won't know I've been here, as long as ...... As long as you're willing to do us a small favor. ”
"What, what's the little favor?"
Benjamin stood behind the king, smiled when he saw that things had come to this, and then glanced at the two siblings beside him.
The two siblings nodded understandingly.
