Chapter 50: The Icewind Forest Massacre
Angela listened to Damian's words, her face did not change much, it seems that it is not the first time she has faced this situation, she is a tried and tested virgin.
"To completely cure the invasion of evil spirits, a high-level holy light technique is required, so even if the Holy Light Church is open to everyone, the Lord of Light is powerless because there are too many people who have been invaded by evil spirits. ”
"Really?" Damian sneered, "so the nobles paid for the priority treatment and the commoners were only desperate in the long wait, so this is what you call the Holy Light shining on everyone equally?"
Angela's eyes were still firm, and she was not hit by Damian's words, "I know that there are some deviations in the implementation of the Holy Light Healing, and some people use the kindness of the Lord of Light for their own benefit, but this is not the original intention of the Holy See, whether it is a noble or a commoner, everyone is equal, and it is precisely because of this that so many people believe in the Holy Light." ”
"All people are equal, but some people are born more equal than others. Damian suddenly felt bored, and was ready to end the chicken-duck conversation.
Angela was about to say something more when an old man suddenly appeared behind her.
"Angela, what are you doing here?"
Hearing the voice, she hurriedly stepped aside and replied respectfully, "I'm discussing some issues with Viscount Damian, teacher. ”
Angela's teacher, Damian, suddenly remembered her previous self-introduction, she was a student of Armitage, the deputy secretary of state of the Holy Light Holy See, which meant that the person in front of her was ......
Loren gripped the hilt of his sword and took a step forward, blocking Damian's side.
"Princess Loren, don't do this, I'm just a bad old man, I don't pose much of a threat to you, and this is not a battlefield, I believe that in Lorraine, who advocates tolerance, whether it is the Lord of Light or the believers of the Dark Father, everyone can discuss issues calmly. ”
Loren was unmoved, still looking at Armitage with a wary expression.
"Ahem......" In order to alleviate the embarrassing situation, Damian coughed twice deliberately.
"Viscount Damian seems to be in some discomfort?" Armitage took the initiative to care.
"Thank you, Lord Armitage, I seem to have caught some cold in the past two days. ”
Hearing Damian call out his name, Armitage was a little surprised, "You know me?"
"Your Excellency, the Deputy Secretary of the Senate, no one knows, no one knows, the main executor of the 'Holy Light Southern Expedition', the executioner with blood on his hands, I wonder if in the dead of night, you will hear the miserable screams of the people who died tragically in the Ice Wind Forest asking for your life in hell. It was Loren who spoke, and there was a lot of sarcasm in her words.
The "Holy Light Expedition to the South" is a war of aggression launched by the Holy See against the dark camp twenty years ago. At that time, the previous Dark Pope suddenly died, and the entire Dark Holy See was leaderless, and the Holy Light Kingdoms took this opportunity to launch an offensive south. The Habs Empire, as a pawn of the dark camp, was the first to be attacked, and due to insufficient preparation, it was beaten to the crown city by the Holy Light Church, and the Habs were almost destroyed.
Later, the army of the Dark Curia came to the aid of the Habs, and at the same time invited the rescue troops of the Seven Mountains Dwarf and the Bone Manor, but the Holy Light Church was unable to attack for a long time, and finally chose to withdraw. But by the time the last of the soldiers of the Light Left the Habs, the entire northern frontier had been scorched, countless villages had been burned, and countless civilians had been killed.
The current Deputy Secretary of State, Armitage, served as the chief of staff of the Archangel Knights, the vanguard of the "Holy Light Expedition to the South", the Holy See's direct pro-guard army, one of the five major knights on the mainland, who caused the infamous "Icewind Forest Massacre" in this war. More than 1,000 inhabitants of three villages were killed overnight, simply because they harbored the defeated soldiers of the Habs's army, and the entire Icewind Forest was covered with corpses, and when those who came back from the south found it, it was as if they had gone to hell.
Damian didn't know what was going on, but he saw Loren's hateful eyes and realized that this Armitage wasn't as amiable as he seemed. He patted Loren on the back and motioned for her to stay calm.
Armitage didn't speak, just lowered his head and made a gesture of light on his chest.
"Your Black Dragon is a great masterpiece, please convey my respect to its inventor. Armitage knew that Loren did not welcome him, and after saying this, he turned and left.
"The blood debt must be paid with blood, and one day, I will let you, the great men of the Holy Neighborhood, also taste the suffering that my Habs people have suffered. ”
Armitage didn't seem to hear Loren's words and still walked forward, but Angela turned around and looked at Loren with complicated eyes, and stopped talking.
Seeing Loren's still trembling body, Damian stepped forward to support her and said with concern, "Are you okay?"
Loren shook his head, "I just remembered some of the past, my court teacher, who was a first-hand witness to that war, the first people to arrive in the Icewind Forest, couldn't help but burst into tears every time he talked to me about it. ”
Although Damian did not have a favorable opinion of the Holy See of Light, he did not harbor a great hatred like Loren, and he did not know how to comfort him, so he had to remain silent.
"Anger doesn't solve the problem, so stay away from him, Princess Loren. ”
Loren turned his head, and a middle-aged nobleman was standing not far away looking at her with a smile.
"Lord Sitings. Loren saluted him.
Seeing that Damian was confused, Evans hurriedly whispered in his ear, "This is Sitins, the head of the Dark Holy See's Inquisition, the king of the underworld. ”
Damian's attention was on the squire beside Sittins, who was dressed in ordinary linen clothes, but with a golden oak medal pinned to his chest.
The squire at the level of a great knight is enough to prove the dignity of the master.
"Long time no see, Evans. The squire spoke, not expecting him to know Damian's knight of the guard.
"Long time no see, Kimir. Evans replied calmly.
