Chapter 49: Murder
When Colin looked up, the prisoner who had been tortured had been pulled away for some time, and was replaced by a fat prisoner, the fat man's skin was very white, and when he walked up, the fat on his body trembled, and he was very happy, his mouth was full of blood, his eyes had begun to dilate, and he was thrown on the stage by the guards and fell down directly.

Colin looked at the fat man a little familiar, he leaned forward with all his might, trying to see the fat man's face, but as soon as the official remembered the fat man's identity, Colin stood up suddenly, and Bishop Tassen seemed to anticipate Colin's reaction, and had already stood beside him, grabbed him, and pressed Colin back into his chair.
Starr asked curiously, "Do you know this guy?"
Colin's gaze literally flared up, and he said to Star, "He killed one of my uncles!"
Start was stunned for a moment, thinking about what the uncle and the second uncle belonged to, he looked at Bishop Tasen with puzzled eyes, and Bishop Tasen came to him and gave him a brief explanation, it turned out that this fat man was the second butler of the Marquis Ludwig's mansion, and now he should be the former second butler.
More than a week ago, the second butler of the Marquis's Mansion was so high-spirited, he killed a master of heaven and a number of elite guards in a conversation and laughter, and his high-flying performance at that time left a deep impression on Colin.
Colin hated the fat butler so much that when he didn't hesitate to kill the entire Earl's shop after killing Lohr the Bloody Hand, Colin would have wanted to rush up and kill him if it hadn't been for Bishop Tassen dragging Colin away.
A cruel smile appeared on Star's face, and he thought for a moment and said to Colin, "Do you want to kill him with your own hands?"
Colin was stunned for a moment, then he nodded firmly, Start smiled with satisfaction, and commanded Bishop Tathan, Bishop Tassen walked up to the official and whispered a few words, the official turned around and glanced at Colin, and when he saw that Colin was just a child, the official seemed to hesitate for a moment, and said a few words to Bishop Tasen, Bishop Tassen nodded, returned to Colin and asked, "Are you sure you are going to kill this person with your own hands?"
Colin's heart was also turned upside down, after all, he had never killed anyone, although he had killed a lot of animals, but it was not a human after all. But when he thought of Uncle Dro, who took great care of him, he couldn't help but be angry, he stood up, and said firmly to the official: "My lord, I want to do it myself!"
The official had a look of disgust on his face, and he said coldly, "Fifty gold coins, you can kill him with your own hands here!"
Bishop Tassen saw Starr and Crowe's faces droop again, and he hurried over to the officer and whispered a few words.
The officer looked at Crowe and Starr with disbelief on his face, and he sighed and continued, "His sin should be hanged, but you can choose to kill him in other ways!"
Without hesitation, Colin took fifty gold coins from his ring and handed them to the official, who waved his hand at the guards and moved out of the way, leaving only Colin and the fat butler.
The crowd below had been cheering, and when Colin pulled out a long sword, the crowd below began to be quiet.
Colin picked up his sword and pointed it at the fat butler's neck, he could avenge Uncle Tiger with a slight stroke, but he still hesitated.
The fat butler also seemed to recognize Colin, his tongue had been cut off, he could only keep kowtowing to Colin, as if begging Colin not to kill him, Collin's heart suddenly had a trace of unbearability, and his hands began to tremble.
At this time, the audience in the audience was unhappy, and scolded loudly, as if they were very dissatisfied with Colin's delay, and some people even shouted for Colin to get out of the way.
Starr suddenly stood up, and the people in the audience seemed to be hit by an invisible sledgehammer, and a sense of fear suddenly appeared in everyone's hearts, as if Starr in front of him was not a priest, but a man-eating beast.
Starr walked up to Colin and said to Colin with a blank face, "If you don't dare to do it, go back and sit!"
After hearing this, Colin gritted his teeth, his sword fell, and a stream of blood sprayed out of the fat butler's neck, splashing everywhere. The fat butler's eyes widened, and he let out a terrible scream, and then he fell to the ground and died.
Colin was also splashed with blood, and there was a lot of fat butler's blood on his pale face, which flowed down his cheeks, and at this time, his mind was in chaos, and the noisy shouts of the crowd below seemed to shake him, and he staggered back a few steps, crouched on the ground and vomited.
Starr went over and dragged Colin back, and everyone else looked at Colin with concern, only Archbishop Crow showed a hint of schadenfreude, and Colin didn't look at anyone, just sat in his chair, momentarily distraught.
The officer sent guards to pull the fat butler's body down, and then he continued to pull the next prisoner with a blank face.
Colin didn't know when he was going to return to the cathedral, he just sat in the room dumbfounded, not even responding to Beon coming to him.
William walked up to Colin at this time, frowned and asked, "If you kill someone, are you afraid of becoming like this?"
Colin's face was still pale, he looked into William's eyes and said, "Teacher, I ....."
William patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "Don't think about it today, have a good rest!"
Colin woke up several times at night when he went to sleep, and he didn't know why he kept dreaming of the fat butler, sometimes he dreamed that the fat butler was covered in blood, sometimes he dreamed that the fat butler came to him with a sword to take revenge, and in short, he didn't sleep well all night.
As soon as Starr entered the house the next day, he was stunned for a moment when he saw Colin, who was sitting on the bed in a daze with red eyes, and he couldn't help but shout angrily: "Colin, you are a man, don't be knocked down by this little thing!"
Colin ignored him, and Starr was helpless, and William whispered to Star, "How old were you when you first killed someone?"
Starr thought for a moment and replied vaguely, "I remember it seems to be a teenager, I forgot it after so long!"
William was silent and said to Star, "What should Colin do like this?"
Sta shrugged and replied, "How do I know, I just remember that I was excited after killing someone, and I'm not such a coward!"
Colin's heart was also moved when he heard this, and he said angrily: "I'm not a coward!"
Stara said disdainfully: "Look at you like a bear, don't you just kill someone, use it like you're stupid!"
Colin thought about it, isn't it just killing someone, can he avenge Uncle Tiger, it's worth it! Thinking of this, Colin smiled at William and said, "Teacher, I'm fine!"
William looked at Colin approvingly, and Starr breathed a sigh of relief.
In the afternoon, Bishop Tassen invited William, Star, and Archbishop Crow to have a small meeting in his office, after which Sta and Archbishop Crow left the Twilight Cathedral, but William stayed.
On the other side, in the castle of Berto, the Viscount Ram had returned at some point, and was talking to the countess affectionately.
Ram smiled and said, "I wonder if my uncle will become a marquis this time?"
The countess's pretty face showed a hint of worry, and she said: "Who knows, I am worried that the Marquis of Ludwig will not be easy to deal with, in case he keeps an eye on your uncle, hey....."
Ram thought for a while and replied: "Probably not, tens of thousands of horses protect my uncle!"
The Countess sighed, "I hope so!"
Cardinal Veron is in a very good mood these days, although he was a little unhappy when he entered Reilman, Cardinal Veron originally wanted to give a blessing to King Collins on behalf of His Majesty the Pope, but King Collins directly rejected Cardinal Veron on the grounds of ill health, and even refused to let Veron go to Berlin, which made Cardinal Veron very embarrassed and annoyed.
Fortunately, the Duke of Aron delivered an ancient painting of Master Dante in time, and as soon as this artwork worth at least 500,000 gold coins arrived, Cardinal Veron's iron-like expression immediately became bright.
Wei Lun thanked Duke Aaron in person, but he had a slight doubt about Duke Aaron sending so many troops to escort him. Duke Aron only explained that these troops were on rotation at the Bavarian border, and Cardinal Veron seemed to be more interested in the old painting, leaving the matter of travel and protection to his subordinates.
Inside the Twilight Cathedral, Colin sat in the hall with William for a mass, this was the first time Colin participated in this event, Colin looked at everything in front of him curiously.
The Mass was presided over by Bishop Tassen himself, and when Tassen stood in front of the stage, the congregational crowd was silent, and everyone stared at Bishop Tassen with reverent faces.
The Mass was long, and Colin began to feel impatient, but William performed every ritual very religiously, and when he saw Colin's impatient expression, he said to Colin with a serious expression: "Mass is the most important ritual of the faithful, if you don't want to participate, I will beat you!"
Colin was startled, the teacher was still the first to threaten himself, so he also calmed down and attended a mass, but Colin was shocked by the whole scene, the crazy piety of each believer, the encouraging words of each priest, left a deep impression on Colin.
At the end of the Mass, a box began to pass from the front, and each priest took out money from his pocket and put it in, William also took out a few gold coins and put them in, Colin saw that William put it in, and thought to himself that I would put it too, but he didn't know how much to put it, so he also learned from William to put a few, William saw this and praised Colin, thinking that Colin was devotional to God by doing this, in fact, Colin didn't want to put the money in it at all, and he also scolded a few words maliciously in his heart.
