Chapter 70: The Academy

Leon walked in front, followed by Priest Arnold. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Arnold had no new questions to ask, and he was still immersed in the grief of the destruction of the Holy Land.

Leon didn't plan to ask, it would be better to have less contact with the Holy See, especially what the town was going to do in the future, which would have a big conflict with the Holy See, and it was necessary to remain neutral now.

"Your Royal Highness Leon, on this anniversary of the king's accession to the throne, it seems that the close relatives of the royal family are going to the royal capital to participate, why didn't you go?" Just when Leon thought that he could finally enjoy a moment of silence, the priest's question suddenly arose again.

He stopped, turned to take a closer look at the man in the priest's robes.

About twenty years old, a little shorter than himself, with crisp short black hair, brown eyes, and a face that is not too white, he looks like a very ordinary person, but he has many more problems than ordinary people.

Even if he is now a prince in a remote town, if it were someone else, at most he would obediently shut his mouth after chatting a few words, but the priest seemed to be addicted to asking questions, one after another, and there was no intention of restraint at all.

If Arnold wasn't a member of the Holy See, Leon would still be willing to talk to him, and now his identity is a gap between the two, and there is always a little distance between them.

"His Majesty must have forgotten. Leon said slowly, why he was not invited back to the royal capital to participate in the celebration, he actually knew very well in his heart.

"Forget, Your Majesty is busy with official business, and it is understandable that the ministers who are in charge of this matter should always know, right?" Priest Arnold was a little surprised, because this question was only remembered by him, because the prince went to the royal capital, it was impossible to return to the town so quickly, and the only explanation was that he did not go.

It's just that he didn't go for the reason that surprised him, not to mention such a large-scale celebration of the royal family, even if it is some sacrificial ceremonies in White Mist City, the Earl's close relatives will be required to participate, the prince is the king's brother, such an occasion must be attended to conform to the traditional tradition of the Holy See, this kind of behavior of breaking the rules of the Holy See makes Arnold feel a little dissatisfied.

"I'm afraid you'll have to ask them to get an answer. Leon didn't want to bother with it anymore. But seeing the angry expression on Priest Arnold's face, he felt funny, he was not angry as a party, so why was he angry?

The so-called commemorative celebration of the king's accession to the throne is not to celebrate the king, but to strengthen the ties between the royal family and the lords of various places, and it is also an opportunity for the new king to consolidate his strength, and to win people's hearts and minds by dividing titles and giving knighthood to the descendants of nobles.

Unless the king himself wanted to find unpleasantness, how could he invite such a man of no strength, whose allegiance was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the king.

"But they forgot that maybe it's a good thing for you, if you're unlucky enough to be attacked by a dragon and die, it would be too bad. "Priest Arnold was very comforting and persuaded the prince to think of the good.

Arnold's status in the Holy See is not high, so he mainly contacts ordinary people, listens to their cries and prayers, and answers some questions. At this moment, there was no one else around, and he could only treat the prince as an ordinary believer.

"Makes sense. Leon smiled and nodded, intending to continue on his way to the mine.

"In fact, all of this is related to witches, if it weren't for them, the dragon would not have appeared in the royal capital, let alone destroyed the Three Divine Pillars Grand Sect. "Priest Arnold really thinks of where he goes.

"Why is it that all the bad things have to do with witches?" Leon asked before he could take a step.

The style of doing things in the Holy See is really difficult for people to understand, the dragon attacked the royal capital and destroyed the king's celebration, and the Holy See spread rumors that witches were playing ghosts in it, is this the truth? Obviously, the dragon had already appeared a month ago, but this time it just happened to appear in the royal capital, and the Holy See could not find a reason to force it on the witches, and I am afraid that these grievances in history have come from this way.

"Because the letter from the royal capital makes it very clear that when the witches were about to be sacrificed, the dragon fell from the sky, and then two witches disappeared, and this matter must have something to do with them, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence?"

"Sometimes things happen so well. Besides, you all have to put those witches to death, they have a chance to escape, why don't they escape, should they be willingly burned alive by you?" Leon was a little angry, and his voice unconsciously raised, these believers were full of thoughts about this kind of thing, and they would not look at it from another angle?

Priest Arnold didn't understand the prince's actions, even if he was an ordinary commoner, he hated witches, how could he, as a member of the royal family, speak for witches? Could it be that he said this because he didn't go to the celebration and is now angry?

Arnold replied: "Your Highness should not mix personal emotions in it, witches are the product of evil anyway, you can't say such things just because you have been forgotten by the royal family, if there are witches in the town, will you still protect them?"

Leon clenched his fists, he couldn't communicate with such a person at all, talking about witches, how could it be related to the celebration.

He calmed down and said very seriously: "First of all, I am not angry about the celebration. Secondly, whether the witches are really guilty or not, it is not for me to have the final say, nor for the Holy See to have the final say, but to come up with real evidence, do you dare to say that the witches who sacrificed this time have all been tried?

All along, it seems that it has become a normal thing for a witch to be put to death when she is found, no trial, no evidence, just a simple sentence: she is a witch.

This kind of thing can be seen from Leon's body, when the villagers heard that Riley was a witch, they shouted to burn her, and they don't know what mistakes they have made, as long as they become witches, it is a capital crime. This is even more prevalent in the Holy See, where the bishop declares that if someone is a witch, that person must be a witch, and no one will look for the truth, because what the bishop says is the truth.

"I don't know how the royal capital handled it, but I believe that the bishops will not spare a witch or wronged an innocent person. "Priest Arnold has great confidence in the bishops, who are the most faithful servants in the service of the gods of nature, and will certainly not let go of such a lowly mistake.

"Priest Arnold, let's hurry up and visit the mines. Leon resisted the impulse in his heart and said calmly. Discussing the good or bad things about witches with fanatical believers is completely to make himself angry, or let him see it early and leave early.
