Chapter 8: The Infidels
Ten days later, late at night.
"God of Light, you are the only true god in this world, it is you who give the world warmth, let the earth give life, and guide our vain souls......"
Relo was still praying over and over again in the church.
At this time, Lei Luo, although he seemed to be a faithful and fanatical believer of the God of Light, the bewitching devil hidden in the depths of his soul knew that it was him struggling, resisting, trying to shield his bewitchment.
"The more you struggle, the more you resist, the more you care, poor soul, how long can your firm faith be supported? Even if you are bathed in the purest light of the church, you don't feel a trace of warmth, and the cold that penetrates your bones envelops you, admit it, your soul belongs to the devil!"
Xia Yu's low bewilderment in Lei Luo's heart was like a murmur lingering in his ears.
"No, I should not have any doubts about the God of Light, I must nip all evil thoughts in the bud! In this temple full of light and sacredness, I am one of the most outstanding knights of the Holy Light in the Church, and there should never be any doubts, the world is full of justice and love under the guidance of the God of Light!"
The cry from the bottom of Lei Luo's heart was clearly heard by Xia Yu.
A white cardinal, holding a candle in his hand, walked slowly.
The candle offering was placed under the statue of the god of light, and the bishop looked at Lei Luo, who was kneeling on the ground and praying continuously, and said with concern: "Winter is coming, and it is already late at night, go back and rest." Today I received an urgent report that there were infidels in Bondel Town and the murder of a missionary priest, and I would like you to assist the Inquisitor in going to Bondel Town to try the heretics. ”
The bishop's voice is kind and beautiful, which makes people feel like a spring breeze and is very infectious.
Stopping to pray, under the metal helmet, Lei Luo's bloodshot eyes looked at the bishop, and suddenly the bishop, who was originally kind and gentle, was a little stunned after seeing Lei Luo's red eyes.
The bewitching devil hidden in Lei Luo's heart is also trying to spy on the bishop's soul.
Life:?
Energy:?
Soul:?
"It's beyond the level of a servant of the devil. ”
Hearing the pagan report, Relo asked angrily, "Those Tsar Trem heretics again?"
The bishop's eyes narrowed slightly, nodded in acquiescence and said slowly: "I believe in the God of Light, because the God of Light brings us warmth, reason, morality, and justice. You've been too eager lately, and I doubt your current state of health, this mission may not be for you, and you need to take a good rest. ”
"No!"
With a roar, Relo jerked to his feet from the ground.
"I am the most faithful believer of the Great God of Light on earth, and I am one of the most potential Knights of Light in the Church, and I will definitely be able to complete this task and expel all the heretics from the Land of Light without leaving behind!"
Relo's voice echoed in the church in the dead of night.
The bishop is also a little embarrassed, on the one hand, because of Lei Luo's outstanding talent, the future is indeed promising, and on the other hand, because of Lei Luo's inextricable relationship with the high-level.
Thinking like this, the bishop compromised: "The situation is already under control over there, since you insist on it...... Give you three days to prepare, get some rest, and I'll explain it to the judge. ”
"Bishop, your worries are unfounded, I've only been tired of listening to the teachings of the God of Light lately. But bathed in the brilliance of the great God of Light, there is no need to rest at all, and I will set off tomorrow, and I will certainly assist the inquisitors to hang those who have been deceived by the infidels and burn the heretics who spread the cult at the stake!"
With that, with the sound of metal armor crashing and rubbing, Lei Luo left the church.
The next day.
Fifteen knights of the Holy Light in full gear stepped onto their horses, metal helmets with only their eyes and mouths exposed, reflecting a dignified glow in the sunlight, and at the forefront was a papal inquisitor, specially used to judge pagan personnel, who was now holding the Holy Codex.
The horse's hooves "clicked" and walked forward.
It has been many years since a large-scale faith war broke out on the continent, so these Holy Light Knights are living a very nourishing life.
In the cheers of many believers in the city, the knights gradually walked out of the city gate drawbridge, and Lei Luo was naturally at the forefront of many Holy Light Knights, becoming the squad leader of the fifteen Holy Light Knights.
"What if the Inquisitor knew that there was a devil hidden among them, and what if the other knights of the Light knew that the captain they revealed was a devil!"
The bewitching voice sounded in Lei Luo's heart, and for Lei Luo, it seemed that it was just a distracting thought that flashed in his heart in an instant.
And yet immediately after!
"The light is with you! There is no devil in the world!"
The bewitching devil turned out to be dual-minded, playing both the dark side and the light side of Lei Luo, and the chaotic thoughts continued, replacing the conquest between himself and Lei Luo, and even making Lei Luo's own thoughts not know what to do.
Now Lei Luo's own soul consciousness has become an outsider of thoughts!
"Yes, there is no devil in the world! This is the revelation of the God of Light, I need to keep reciting the "Ceremony of Light" and listen to more teachings of the God of Light!"
For Lei Luo, who has been completely excluded from the ideological debate, the bewitching devil only treats it with a sneer.
Out of the city, the speed of the team of sixteen people was much faster, dusty, pedestrians avoided it, and after a few hours, everyone arrived in the town of Bondel.
Compared to the city, the town was so peaceful that there were no clergy except for a priest.
Dangdangdang......
After Mayor Dangdang rang the assembly bell, the Inquisitor and a number of knights of light surrounded the priest's corpse, waiting for the results of the death examination.
The priest was about forty years old, thin and tall, and the bewitching devil hidden in Lei Luo's soul felt sorry for a while, he had died for too long, and his soul had drifted away.
"It's because of suffocation. ”
Suddenly, the inquisitor and the Knights of the Holy Light who heard the result turned pale, and the mayor next to him also became extremely angry, and the old man stomped his feet and shouted, "Damn the cultist! Pastor Eric is such a good person, he can even do it, if I catch the murderer, I will definitely nail him to the stake with my own hands!"
The inquisitor stared at the tickling crowd gathered in the town square, about a thousand people, and asked the sheriff with the Holy Book in his hand, "Have you all arrived?"
Ray Lo bewitches the devil inside him and peeks into the sheriff's soul.
Health: 25
Energy: 18+12
Soul: 1
The sheriff is a powerful fat man, embarrassed by stubble, and his strength is unexpectedly high, and responded: "There are a total of 1,214 people in the town, and there are 34 travelers and pedestrians, since the priest was killed yesterday and yesterday I have banned the flow of people here, and the murderer must still be here." ”
Compared with the many Holy Light Knights on the high war horses, the ragged villagers here are indeed too shabby, and they are timid, and under the inquisition's instructions, many Holy Light Knights began to investigate the outsiders and key suspects in the town one by one.
"The light is with you, and there must be something wrong with these business travelers!"
When Lei Luo was examining the team of several merchants, such a thought suddenly flashed in his heart, and suddenly with a "poof", the blade of the sword was unsheathed, and his eyes scanned sharply.
"My lord, my lord, I am really just a passing merchant without any ......"
Just as the fat merchant was frightened and hurriedly explained, suddenly, not far away, a handyman who followed him in the caravan jumped up and galloped towards a camel, and quickly walked away, and the Holy Light Knights who were reviewing in the crowd also reacted immediately, Lei Luo roared: "Leave two people to protect the Inquisitor, and the others will chase after me!"
The camels known as the ships of the desert are naturally not easy to catch up with these horses whose hooves are stuck in the yellow sand.
