70. Handle
There was a clang, and it was the sound of the wooden door slamming shut. Barbara felt herself being thrown on the cold ground, an enclosed space without the slightest sound of wind around her. She tried hard to adjust her posture, and if there were people around, her current posture was embarrassing enough.
She couldn't see anything, and the black cloth on top of her head was thick.
"Oh, good afternoon, Mr. Caster?" Yuri held a lamp in his left hand and ripped the cloth cover off with his right hand, "Oh no, it's a beautiful Miss Caster!"
"Who are you," Barbara struggled to her feet, but her hands were tied behind her back, a gesture that would normally be so simple and easy to do was a luxury.
"We are all lambs of the Holy Father, poor ones!" Yuri leaned close to Barbara with a lamp, "I smell the smell of depravity, poor man, repent, the Holy Father will know the pain in the heart of the Lamb!"
"You, you are a priest, a priest of the Church. Barbara couldn't help but cry out. She could not have imagined that one day she would fall into the hands of the church.
"Yes, spellcaster. Yuri said in a stern tone, "Didn't the Academy of Apocalypse warn you not to be presumptuous on the territory of the Church! You set fire to the territory of a Celestial nobleman. ”
"I, I didn't mean to. Barbara struggled to move back, wishing she could stay away from the man holding the lamp. It was a small, impermeable stone hut with an air of decay inside. Soon, a large, cold hand grabbed Barbara's slender neck.
"Repent, fallen mystic, what do you have to rely on after losing your magic book and magic wand. Yuri's hand slowly tightened, "The Holy Father is happy to hear the prayers and prayers from the Academy of the Apocalypse. ”
"You can't do this to me," Barbara struggled, "I'm a captive of the nobility, the private property of His Highness Merlin. ”
"Oh, you're right," Yuri let go of his hand, and Barbara's rapid gasps and coughs rang out from inside the stone house, "Your Highness Merlin's captive, the Church has no right to dispose of it. But what about that, Merlin's kid has disappeared, maybe he has been burned to death by the fire, and I really have to thank you, if it weren't for you, Ashfurnace Village, how could it have returned to its previous state and become a fief without a lord!"
Barbara suddenly felt a kind of cold like winter, as a high-level talent of the Apocalypse Academy, a young second-ring spellcaster, she had never been so desperate as she was today. When I first took on this mission, it was just to spy on a group of kobolds, who would have thought that kobolds would provoke a golden knight known as the spellcaster killer.
Of course, the most unfortunate thing is that he was deceived by a kid, so that he missed the best time to escape.
"Merlin didn't die, he didn't die. "Barbara seems to see a turnaround.
"So what, Merlin didn't die, he was just a little baron in a remote valley who had lost his inheritance, and his territory had just been burned down by a man. Yuri walked over to the stone wall with a cheerful expression, and pressed his blushing face against the cold wall, the cold comfort that made him feel more happy than a victory.
"He should thank me," Yuri's cold hand slid down Barbara's smooth neck, "I'm judging the sinners who burned his realm." ”
Barbara had heard about the shady practices of the church, but she didn't expect to experience it for herself one day. The education of Apocalypse Academy seems to be more inclined to break free from moral rules and be comfortable with people's minds, so Barbara doesn't particularly value a woman's first time, but she has remained single for so many years due to her academic pursuits.
Strictly speaking, it was the first time that Barbara had such intimate contact with the opposite sex.
Although not a conservative person, the caster does not seem to be willing to put his good memories in the hands of such a man.
"No, you can't do that!" the spellcaster apparently understood some of the man's impatient thoughts.
"Repent, arsonist, if your repentance can be forgiven by the Holy Father, the burning of the Ashfurnace Village will not be too serious. ”
Barbara understood the threat in this sentence, of course, but it seemed unlikely that she would just turn it over like that. But after the loss of the magic book and magic wand, there is no difference between the caster and the ordinary people, no, it should be said that they are weaker than ordinary people, at least the strength of the Goth woman is not something that a man like Yuri can easily conquer.
Bang, the lamp on the ground seemed to have been knocked down, and the lamp oil that fell to the ground in a panic emitted a burst of cyan smoke, and soon the stone house fell into darkness.
Tearing, that's the sound of linen being torn.
There was a soft creak, and the wooden door of the stone house was pushed open. A man stood in the doorway with his back to the light.
A gust of wind entered the stone house through the open wooden door, and Barbara felt a coolness, and hurriedly screamed and grabbed a piece of linen and wrapped it around herself.
"Your Highness, such scum should pile up a pile of pine wood, then light a fire, and burn it clean. Leah was furious, Yuri dared to do such a thing to Barbara, she was really the scum of the church.
Merlin was torn up, in fact he had already discovered an anomaly in the territory. In terms of population, there were only 188 people at the very least, which means that something must have happened to his territory that caused these thirteen people to die, although the number increased later, but in the end it was only 200.
In other words, the population of the current territory of Ash Furnace Village is just the lower limit of the water coming out of Ganquan. No one is missing, and if there is no one, there will be no water in the sweet spring.
"Even if you don't burn him, you can't let him stay in Ashfurnace Village anymore. Jerry said.
Merlin waved his hand, he couldn't kill people at this time, let alone drive people away.
"Lord Yuri, remember to wear a pair of pants the next time you confess, the Holy Father should not be interested in that thing of yours. Merlin laughed, "I didn't expect Yuri-sama to be small, but what was underneath was not small at all. ”
People can't be killed, they can only be kept, such people are like dogs, if they are trained well, they are also excellent to use to deal with the enemy, even if they can't take it, it's good to put them at home to take care of the home. For Merlin, there is no waste, it just depends on how you use it, on the contrary, someone like Yuri who has pinched the handle is easy to use.
