Eve grabbed Francis by the collar and slammed him against the wall. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the thin Francis was unable to parry Eve, who had been practicing martial arts since childhood, and he didn't even have the idea of trying, so he gave up resistance.

"I'm sure this is the first time we've met, ma'am. He said calmly that he had bet no less than ten of them on how many people hated him, but if a lady who had been born noble at first sight had a grudge against him, he was a little confused. "Did I offend you in any way?"

"No, you don't. Eve wanted to blow out all the resentment she had been building up over the weeks, but reason allowed her to suppress the urge. "But you offended my glory, remember?" she softened with strength in her hand, and was on the verge of lifting Francis up. "Remember what you did? You trafficked people in Swadia, a wandering merchant, a law-protected citizen!" Eve almost roared, afraid she would not be able to strangle the culprit.

"That's enough, ma'am, if you want to ask the teacher for sin, you have to ask for clarification. Bluebeard grabbed Eve's arm and let her go of Francis, who nearly died and retched against the wall. "Until the situation is clarified, it is dishonorable to murder anyone. Bluebeard reminded Eve to calm down a bit.

"Well, Francis, really? you should understand what I'm talking about. Eve didn't do anything more, she asked condescendingly. "If you weren't in a predicament right now, I'd arrest you right now!

"Hah...... Ha...... Haha, hahahaha......" Francis regained his strength, but began to laugh weirdly. "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that adult's child to be a fool who armed himself with glory. "Francis has gone through several ups and downs, and has long since lost the demeanor of the head of the chamber of commerce. "Glory has driven you to arrest me, but what has it done you? but like me, you have become a prisoner, and you will live and die!" said Francis, mockingly, leaning against the wall, but not afraid of this innocent little girl, even though she was capable of threatening her own life.

"Don't try to provoke me, it won't help. Once Eve had calmed down, it was difficult to be provoked a second time, and she looked at Francis calmly, but the doubts in her mind grew. "Now, I want you to answer my questions truthfully, or I'll make you suffer. ”

"I agree with her advice, and I have a lot of questions for you, like, why are you here?" Bluebeard asked in response to Eve's words, thinking they could get useful information from Francis.

"A fatal mistake, a wonderful misunderstanding. Francis said self-deprecatingly, leaving both of them puzzled. "I was just trying to give a troublesome guy to these people who specialize in dealing with trouble, but I underestimated their strength. Francis recounted his failures and was depressed, and it was the first time he had suffered such a big loss, and it hit him hard. "They killed all my people and were ready to kill me, but they seemed to think I was some kind of special person, and I took the opportunity to ask to join them, so I escaped. ”

"That man, is that what Hakan is?" asked Eve, keeping the name in her heart, for it was one of the main culprits in her current situation.

"Yes, beloved Bishop, Hakan, hahahaha, what a funny, merciful Bishop, do not hesitate at all to make a killer. Francis went on to say that he had been talking to himself for many days, and now that he finally had someone to talk to, he couldn't help but complain a little more.

"What's special about you?" asked Bluebeard, vaguely aware of the secrets hidden in it. "I've never heard of any special people in the Maghylia Church. ”

"I'm not special, sir, and if I were really special, I wouldn't have to stay here. Francis shook his head, then showed his finger. "See the ring on my ring finger? I was once given this ring by an Embra preacher who said it would help me survive a catastrophe. Francis remembered and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. "I never thought that this thing could really work, and when the black warrior was preparing to kill me, this ring protected me, burned the warrior, and kept me alive. The ring on his ring finger had several cracks, and it was pale compared to the other rings on his hand.

"What is this?" Bluebeard exclaimed, and Francis playfully took off the ring and handed it to Bluebeard. "Since then, this thing has never been useful, so as soon as I arrived at Hart, my lies were exposed, and I awaited trial for my charge of deceiving the gods. Francis said bitterly, he had expected the lie to last much longer.

“...... The Ring of the Holy Spirit, one of the many miracles known in the world, is said to contain divine spirits who will protect the wearer from evil. Bluebeard's expression grimaced, and Eve noticed a detail. "Protected from evil?" if she heard it right, it means a lot.

"Yes, you heard it right, evil. Bluebeard looked at the ring and looked at it. "I've seen this ring before, and if my head wasn't broken before it was stolen, then it's genuine. He returned the ring to Francis. "This illustrates a problem, a problem that I should have realized a long time ago - that damn Hakan is actually wielding evil powers!" said Bluebeard, a faithful believer, who had not been able to imagine that this seemingly god-favored man was a man who turned his back on the gods. "I should have thought that what seemed to be miracles was the dark magic of demons!" Bluebeard walked back and forth restlessly. The word demon shocked Eve's heart, and she unconsciously clenched her fists.

"We must tell the Pope at once! There are traitors among us!" Bluebeard rushed to the door, flapping vigorously, and Francis said with some amusement: "Don't be stupid, no one will come here until the trial begins." ”

"Demons, do those things really exist?" asked Eve, confused, feeling what church story she was listening to that shouldn't come from the mouth of a mature, sane lord. "For a long time, they were just legends, but since a few years ago, the church has discovered a lot of evil forces, and some people have brought these things back!" Bluebeard said angrily. "I myself executed a cultist who tried to spread the plague, who was covered in pus, but twisted to death. Bluebeard recalls the bad memories. "You can't imagine how frightening it was. ”

"Maybe ......," Eve whispered, but no one heard. "Even so, is there anything we can do to bring this stupid trial to an end?" Eve asked, though they seemed to have some shocking secrets, but it didn't help them in their current situation.

There is no way, God's judgment is sacrosanct, and there is no room for compromise when decided. Bluebeard said in a deep voice. "Originally, I was convinced that since we were innocent, nothing would happen. But now things have changed, and we have to find a way to survive the trial. ”

"How, a duel?" Eve still finds strange when she thinks about the law that Svadia has abandoned for a long time. "He who wins is not guilty, and he who loses is guilty?"

"That's fine, but those who disobey God don't have the right to apply for a duel before God. Bluebeard vetoed Eve's idea, even though it was supposed to be the most feasible option. "There is only one way, as a senior Catholic, I have the right to ask to meet with the Pope at any time, and before the trial, I go to the Pope and explain the situation to him, and he will have the means to stop this. ”

"So, we should put our hopes in a stranger?" Eve felt that it was inappropriate to do so. "What if the Pope is also a traitor? We'll all have to bury you. ”

"No way, if that's the case, the whole of Nord, and even the whole of Calradia, will be in chaos. Bluebeard shook his head, indicating that Eve's suspicions were unnecessary. "And, speaking of strangers, aren't we all of us?"

“...... Well, maybe you have a point, I can only wish you success in advance. Eve waved her hand, there was no other way to do it, she simply believed in the person who was most likely to save them all.

"By the way, I have more questions for you. That one...... Where's the Wanderer?" Eve remembered the Wanderer, but forgot his name.

"I don't care, it's not going to be easy anyway. Francis replied very simply, and he did not take Thomas to heart all the time. He didn't care at all what he was doing when he was brought in by Hakan. "Maybe it's dead. ”

"In that case, I swear, you won't live long," said Eve, smiling falsely and pinching Francis's face.

Time goes back to a day ago, when Eve and Orlando and the others were separated, Arthur was taken for treatment, with the advanced medical technology of the church, Orlando was not worried about his recovery, he was now facing another difficulty - the knights standing in front of him, and the mercenaries behind him.

"Guys, you don't really want to attack a knight of the Church in this place, do you?" he said to Elias with a playful smile, but the latter was clearly ready for battle.

"Why not? There isn't much chance of avenging the 'crow', and now he is only one man, and we have fifty men. Elias said indignantly, he wasn't joking.

“...... Originally, according to the rules, I should have executed you ungodly people. As soon as the knight spoke, Orlando patted his head and felt that his head was big. "The reason why I forgive you is to have mercy on you and for your weakness and impotence. He said arrogantly. "Maybe you can kill me by numbers, and you will always be called a 'coward' until you die. ”

"I don't care, I just want you to splatter three feet of blood!" Elias couldn't hold it anymore, and he almost pierced the knight's eye with his spear. "Hey, Golden Retriever! Listen! You're still being hired by Lady Eveluna Falst, remember?" Orlando stopped him and moved out of his killer move. "For the sake of credibility, hell, when Eve is safe and sound, I'm settling a personal dispute, okay?"

Elias was in a stalemate with him for a long time, and eventually, he was unhappy enough to withdraw his spear. "Well, you're in luck, hairy boy. He muttered and retreated, and the knight snorted disdainfully, and turned away. But his slightly messy gait shows that he is not fearless.

"What are we going to do? Ms. Eve doesn't know where we're going. Elias asked, and Orlando and McGid looked at each other and said in unison, "Simple, wait and see." ”
