Chapter 441: The Same Victim
The Order would have been glad that Golantis had received information about the Dark Order from the people of Farowan, but Golantis had no small concerns. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info To be honest, she wasn't very willing to get the Inquisition to join the action, as their presence would represent a complete purge. Golantis thought that maybe there would be room for manoeuvre, and sometimes simple elimination would not help.
But the Order's decision was not up to Golantis, and the Order did not give Golantis an answer in person, which made her feel uneasy. The only indication of the Order's attitude was that it would send a report of the end of the incident to Obes Roshbach, as she was the first cleric to actually come into contact with the Dark Order, and Evie, one of the members of the Holy Knights she commanded, was also involved in the incident.
Golantis guessed that Orbes must have discovered something to send Evie to Huttonmar, her Holy Knights had traveled all over the continent, and although Greenwick was the location of the nominal branch of the Order led by Orbeth, there were not many clerics there all year round. This was a taboo within the Order, as it was not a place for prayer. If Huttonmar is the land of civilization, then Greenwick is barbaric, and it is only a stronghold used by Orbes to hide his Paladin.
Evie hadn't been back to Greenwick for a long time, and even Orbes himself wouldn't be there very often. She spends most of her time traveling from place to place, constantly searching for the existence of the Dark Order, and then trying to save the captured children so that they can receive the true Revelation.
Until the Order makes a final decision, all that Golantis and the others can do is wait. Taking advantage of the waiting time, Evie found the Farowan man alone and asked him to speak in her own name. "Can you talk to me?" she whispered as she walked into the Farowan man's room alone.
The people of Farowan were surprised by Evie's arrival, and since the end of the last conversation, he should have fallen into a serenity, a serenity of self-confession. And now, a priesthood appeared in front of him, and they should have appeared a little later. "Is there anything else you'd like to ask?"
"You have escaped the most terrible situation, at least the god of luck is still watching over you. Evie sat down, staring at the Farowan people with a complicated gaze.
"What do you mean?" said the Farowan man's voice almost in her throat, but in the silence of the room, Evie could hear it clearly.
"I wonder how the god of luck has ever taken care of the children you are using as experiments?" said Evie, after a pause. "After all, did the god of luck never favor them, or did you deprive them of the right to accept good fortune?"
The Farowan man bowed his head, "I'm sorry......"
"You're sorry because you still have a bit of humanity. Don't you think it's ridiculous to imagine that what destroyed your humanity is what you once feared?" Evie laughed helplessly.
"I know I've committed a sin that can anger the gods, but all I can do is pray for those children, please forgive me......" The spirit of the Farowan man seemed to be shattered by Evie's words in the next second, and he looked like a dead tree crumbling in a storm.
Evie sighed and stood up. "I can give you a fair assessment, your intentions are good, but you are on the wrong path. Well, let me ask you one last question, so let's end this short and painful conversation -- what do you think of opportunity? I mean that word. ”
The Farowan man looked up blankly and looked at Evie, the last word he wanted to hear. Opportunity? Yes, maybe it once existed. But now, the word was incredibly foreign to the people of Farowan, and for a short time he didn't seem to realize what Evie really meant. "Why do you ask this? Do you think the opportunity will stay on me?"
"You misunderstood. Evie shook her head in disappointment. "I'm not referring to yourself, or to anyone. Whether it's you, or the children, all of them have had their chances robbed of them by sin. Perhaps for the fanatical followers of the Dark Order, the opportunity is far less important than the elimination of the Pretender. But what about the children? Do they have a chance to do it again so that they don't have a miserable childhood, so that they don't passively embark on the road to the abyss? There are so many people who don't have the ability to make a choice, and I really feel sorry for those children, who should have had a choice. She uttered all the words in a reproachful tone, and every word cut through the hearts of the people of Farowan like a sharp blade, trying to find out whether it was steel or flesh and blood.
"May I ask a question, shall I?" the man of Farowan looked at Evie with pleading eyes, who at the moment looked like a beggar on a filthy street corner in Huttonmar's back street, begging for the scraps of food for less than 5 gold with his rotting body.
"Just ask. ”
"From the perspective of a priest, I think I may be able to understand why you are so angry at what we have done, and I hope you don't mean anything superfluous. The people of Farowan no longer dared to look Evie in the eye, as if they were afraid that Evie would tell a truth that was not what he thought.
Evie closed her eyes and opened them again a moment later, as if in a simple blink. "Both. Her words still made the hearts of the people of Farowan sink. "Do you mean ......?"
"That's right. Evie nodded. "I, too, was injected with the blood of the Pretender by the Dark Order, in a dense forest in the western Greenwick, a place I never wanted to set foot in again in my life. Thankfully, Lord Roshbach rescued me from the Dark Order in time, and I wasn't injected that much. However, even a drop of the impostor's blood can infect a person and become an impostor, so I often went insane during the initial period. If it weren't for the timely purification, I might have been on the path of the Pretender. ”
"I see......" The man of Farowan did not continue, but turned his head away, letting his godless eyes stare at the white wall.
"Goodbye, Farowan people. Evie whispered, then turned and left the room.
Evie herself couldn't believe that she would once again tell someone who had hurt her. She didn't feel that way, and it was undeniable that no amount of words she could use to describe how she felt at this moment. It's like the blood that flows in your own body, a combination of light and sin.
With Remidia on top, Evie hopes to one day dedicate a hymn to those who have hurt her, to redeem their filthy souls when they are completely freed from the visions of darkness, malice, and the abyss. She walked out of the doors of Hutton Marr Cathedral with a calm pace, the sun shining on her head, the thing that warmed her. She paused in the doorway for a moment, then smiled beautifully. Then she took a step towards the streets of Huttonmar, sprinkled with light and the wisdom of the gods, a gift from God.
