Chapter 396: In God's Name
Warhammer didn't tell Blackburn the truth quickly, and he and Blackburn left after two hours at Andrea's house. This is the style of Warhammer www.biquge.info and he never leaves heavy topics on his lips for too long. As a result, he had a number of topics to chat with Andrea, who clearly didn't hate Warhammer. But in the matter of feelings, she is still a little unpredictable.
When the two returned to the main road from the back street, they noticed that a large crowd had gathered in Huttonmar Square. Such situations are not uncommon in Huttonmar, but they can be heard from far away only by raising their arms and shouting—words related to religious beliefs, and the clergy of Huttonmar Cathedral would never have used such ostentatious and impractical methods to disseminate teachings to the people.
Blake didn't want to join in the fun, he wanted to go back to Selia's hotel and help Camilli with what he could, who had recently been busy solving some commissions for Huttonmar's theft. Because of trust, sometimes Boken will leave murders and thefts that are difficult to solve in the Principality to the guys of the Eagle Guild to deal with, and they will be paid handsomely. Rather than following the warhammer around the streets like this, it would be better to help Camilli solve the theft case with a portion of the commission as a reserve fund.
But Warhammer dragged Blackburn on a crowded tour, and he was a curious fellow, which was why he knew so much. He doesn't care if something is dangerous to him, he just wants to know about things that make him feel strange.
What is certain is that at the very back of the crowd, Blackburn saw several familiar figures flashing through the gap between people, and he immediately spoke to Warhammer. "Hey, Warhammer, I think I might see Maffeo and them. ”
"I'm not surprised, he's a guy who likes to join in the fun. ”
"Then you're wrong, completely wrong. Maffeo never likes to get involved in things that don't have anything to do with him, he's not like you. Blackburn seemed to be complaining.
"Alright, little Eugene, let's go find them. Warhammer continued to grab Blackburn's arm and drag him towards the crowd, who almost felt the bones of his arm being ripped off by the hammer.
"Imp, please be quiet!" said the red-robed guy standing on the stage to Schultz, who was staring at him with an angry expression, simply because the guy was speaking ruly to Maffeo. "And you, ghost swordsman from hell!, I must make it clearer, if you don't mind!" He pointed to Maffeo again.
Maffeo looked at him coldly, not reacting in any way. Next to him, Freya and Fett hurriedly grabbed Schultz, who wanted to rush to the stage to beat that guy, and he was now furious.
"Good people, fight evil!" shouted the man standing on the stage, and he raised a book with a heavy red cover in his other hand. "There must also be a light and a good heart, and there must be honor! But now, who do we see here? Demon swordsmen who represent demons, who are born in darkness and worship the power of darkness! Blasphemous demons, but vain to seize the power of God!"
"Hell, Maffeo, let's go, don't pay attention to what he says. Freya said anxiously at Maffeo, because Schultz's struggle became more and more violent, and he almost wanted to draw his long sword and slash at the guy, but Fett held his sword belt tightly.
Maffeo stretched out his hand for Freya to give in for a moment, then walked to the bottom of the stage and jumped up the stairs on one side. The red-robed guy was obviously much weaker than before, but he slammed his cane to the ground and shouted. "O god, the devil is about to reveal his true nature!
"Tell me. Maffeo said calmly. "When the magician sisters of the Gran Grove made the mutation more serious, who went deep into the Gran Mori to help the magicians and other adventurers solve them? When the magic circle of the Sky Castle was damaged, who helped the Academy of Magic solve the crisis that the Sky Castle would collapse?" Then, in a tone that seemed to be indifferent, Maffeo told all the monsters that he had dealt with during his two-year trip with Schultz that would bring disaster to people.
In the end, he didn't forget to add a sentence. "And you, what have you done? Kill the Apostles, or let the war disappear from this continent?" His words made the red-robed man speechless, and even extremely embarrassed.
Warhammer, who couldn't squeeze in no matter how he tried to, couldn't help but snap his fingers and jump for joy. "That's it, Maffeo, choke that bastard!" he waved his fist, as if he had beaten the red-robed man all over the ground.
It was impossible to say that such a commotion did not attract the attention of the guards and the Order, and in fact, less than a minute after Maffeo had said that, the Duchy guards had already made the crowd of onlookers hurry away. Under the policy enacted by Queen Skady, they tried not to use any kind of violence. While this approach works well here, it does not mean that it works elsewhere.
On the other side, Dominic and Evie, who were preparing to reply from the Muslim Order after investigating from the back streets, also noticed the commotion here. After hearing the red-robed man's remarks on the periphery of the crowd, and now that the crowd was dismissed by the guards, Dominic couldn't help but walk quickly between the people who left and came to the stage. Without saying a word, he jumped onto the stage and stood between Maffeo and the red-robed man.
Facing the red-robed man, he stepped forward and pulled down the man's hood, revealing his angular face with a hint of obvious panic. Dominic's way was very violent, he kicked the guy in the calf, causing him to kneel on one leg, and then grabbed him by the back collar with one hand, and said angrily. "Now, excuse me from God. ”
"Who are you?" the red-robed man asked in alarm.
"You don't need to know, hurry up and excuse my sins to God. Dominic didn't have time to answer his question, so he gave the red-robed man another leg kick, and this time he knelt down completely.
Out of the corner of the red robe's eyes, he caught a glimpse of the golden cross on the chest of Dominic's white robe, and then he knew that Dominic was a priest of the Order. "I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have spread some misleading remarks to the public in the name of God!" he quickly confessed.
The sudden change made several people a little dumbfounded, but Maffeo still maintained the same flat expression as before. Dominic asked him as he kept the red-robed man in that painful position. "Why assume the name of God?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be blasphemous, it's just, it's just ......," he slurped.
Evie walked up to the stage and shook her head at Dominic. "Let's bring him back to the Order first. ”
"Alright, get up, blasphemous fellow. Dominic picked up the guy and escorted him in the direction of Hutton Marr Cathedral. As she was leaving, Evedo glanced at the group that had not yet left, and then quickened her pace to keep up with Dominic.
"Hey, thank you, I think you're the priesthood of Hutton Marr Cathedral, right?" said Maffeo at the two of them.
"No thanks, your existence is not unreasonable. It's just that don't try to make people not prejudiced against you. Goodbye, ghost swordsman, may God's blessing be with you. Evie turned, bowed her head slightly, and folded her hands.
"But......" Maffeo was about to say something, but Evie had already turned away. "Okay, so be it. Maffeo muttered.
