Chapter 171: Necessary Evil

Judith quickly took the people away.

According to the Church's procedure, the crane man should be interrogated after he is arrested, and after the crime is confirmed, the bishop will try him. Prison breaks, assassination of nobles, sowing chaos, and...... Assisting in the aberration of prison escape, these crimes combined are enough to punish him with death, and unlike the sinners at the bottom of Spiral City, the Mask Four are not immortal monsters, as long as they are pierced through the heart, they will be killed instantly.

Gawain-Don Quixote's actions only skipped the trial and went straight to the verdict, and there was nothing wrong with his actions in the current plague and crisis. They understand the horror of aberration, and they know even more how heavy the damage can be if a plague breaks out.

Therefore, even if this matter falls into the ears of the bishop, there will be no opinion.

When Judith arrived, the conversation between the crane-faced man and Lin Qiu was nearing the end, and she didn't know what the two sides had said. The only thing that puzzled her was the last act of the crane-faced man rushing towards her - there was no killing intent, but rather a single-minded desire to die, so she didn't draw her sword, and before she could subdue the crane-faced man, the flames turned him to ashes.

"Tyre Cyrius. ”

What happened in the tavern had already scared off the unsuspecting drinkers, and after Judith and the others left, the tavern hid in the back kitchen and refused to come out. As soon as Lin Qiu and Phoenix walked out of the tavern, they heard Gawain's voice.

Gawain leaned against the wall outside the tavern door, the moonlight slanting against him.

His power seems to be closely related to this moonlight. The white mist that rose was previously manipulating ice, and now it was fire. Lin Qiu could only guess the other party's ability from the only information he had.

"I have to say, you are really a blessing for the church. Gao Wen said approvingly: "These four people have plagued the church for a long time, and the kingdom army has put pressure on the church countless times in the past few days, but I didn't expect that you would wipe them out just a few days after you came back, so it is just right to stop the mouths of those nobles...... It seems that the church archives are very apt about you, and maybe you can really become a pillar of the church. ”

Lin Qiu didn't relax at all.

This grinning man shot every time without warning, and he went straight to the opponent's point again and again.

"It's just that I'm a little curious, what did that man say to you in private?" Gawain smiled even more, the moonlight projection on his fingertips constantly switching between fire and ice.

"It's nothing, just a reminder to be more careful with future tasks. ”

"Oh, I didn't expect him to be a warm-hearted man. However, I don't know much about them, and it is said that they were newcomers to the Inquisition Army before they were thrown into Spiral City, but I didn't expect that their few contacts were in the Inquisition. Gawain pretended to sigh: "But for those who understand how the church works, all tasks are absolutely safe, and you can rest assured that every task given to a newcomer has been carefully vetted and is completely within the scope of your response." ”

"Then you're really bothered. ”

"Not really, I just want to guide the newcomers not to be misled by hearsay rumors...... The Church has deep roots in Horutia, and it is a pity that people will always want to admire its flourishing foliage and refuse to face the deep roots that sink into the soil. ”

"Are you warning me?"

"No, no, no, you're mistaken, I'm just instructing you on how your church works. After all, you're special, special enough to be compared to Distortion and Glahide. ”

"Thank you so much. ”

......

Gawain, Lin Qiu and Phoenix rushed to the palace non-stop. The appearance of the crane-faced man made Lin Qiu have a basic guess about the events of the year, if the aberration hadn't lied to him before, then the grievances between the aberration and Gao Wen might not be so easy to solve.

For the position of the chief Knights of the Round Table, Gawain designed to cause the distortion and engraving to run wild, and united with Xia Noya and Maran Funne to suppress it, and Xia Nuoya was incognito, and Maran Funne was inconvenient to show up because of the crime of the year, and all the merits were recorded on him.

Judith's words confirm this from the side.

"The hero who suppressed the aberration and eradicated the source of the plague."

I'm afraid this is not just her, but the whole of Herutia's perception of Gawain. Lin Qiu knew that what the aberration said was just one-sided, and he also had enough position to lie to him in this matter to win his alliance. However, Gawain's approach is even more suspicious, not only does he refuse to confront the aberration, but he chooses to shoot directly, and he also kills the Crane-faced man before Judith brings him back.

It's hard not to cast doubt on this series of moves.

"Plague...... This is definitely a plague! Even the princess ......."

As soon as they slipped into the palace, they heard such a conversation.

Led by several court physicians, the guards approached the princess's dormitory. Few people know the horror of the plague better than the doctors, and they know that most of the people infected with the plague are hopeless, and all they can do is isolate the sick person before they can spread the virus to others.

Centuries ago, the practice was to kill and burn people who were suspected of being sick, but now the suspected person was the princess of the imperial capital, and the "traditional" method obviously did not work, but in order for the plague to spread, they had to isolate the princess to no one's place.

It's for everyone......

That's right, it's all for everyone's safety, even at the expense of the princess......

"Nonsense!"

The door of the princess's bedroom suddenly opened, and several people with colorful faces jumped out of it.

"Who said that the princess was suffering from the plague? Are you embarrassed to call yourself a miracle doctor? Haven't you ever seen a situation where your face suddenly turns green!? Tell me, am I also suffering from the plague?" asked the girl with a lump of green oil paint on her face, even through the thick oil paint, Lin Qiu still recognized the other party at a glance from her hairstyle and voice.

Lilith.

"That's right, the doctors are getting more and more disagreeable lately. Jeff, who was wearing black paint, pointed to his face and said viciously, "Do you dare to say that I also have the plague?

"No...... That's obviously a prank on you after you got drunk......" Faced with the two of them, the doctor's tone suddenly shortened.

", do you think I'm the kind of guy who calls Jeff the head drunk and paints on his face!?"

"That...... Actually, you did it, you just said that you leaked your mouth...... "The doctor is helpless."

"Thank you......" Princess Sophia's voice was hoarse, she hugged the pillow, her face haggard, "but it is because you are my friends that I cannot risk infecting you with the plague......"

She walked past the crowd and came to the soldiers: "Let's go." ”

"Even the princess has admitted it, so don't meddle with it!"

"It's also for everyone's sake!"

The guards hurriedly blocked Jeff and the others.

"Really?"

When the two sides were at a stalemate, a young man in a fancy costume walked out of the door on one side: "Are you really decided?"

"Your Majesty!"

"Albert!"

Both sides reported the identity of the comer at almost the same time. 12910
