"Girl, I didn't scare you, you scared yourself and made me sleep!" Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"See, it's your own problem!" Seeing the old man in Mai speak, Ping An also walked into the room and said at the same time.

"Hmph!" Seeing that Ping An didn't give any face, Joanna was so angry that she walked straight out.

"Eh, don't go, you!"

"Why don't you leave and stay here, are you angry?" Joanna replied seeing that Ping An seemed to want to stay.

"No, it's dark outside, and if you're gone, there's no light in the house. Now that I've finally found a clue, you can help with it!" Ping An said, pointing to the magic flame in Joanna's hand.

"Now you know what to ask me for?"

"Grandma, you won, come over quickly!" Ping An knew that Joanna just wanted to hear a few pleasant words, and she didn't have time to talk to her now, so she hurriedly catered to her.

"That's pretty much it!" Seeing Ping An say this, Joanna walked back from the door.

The old man in Mai watched the two of them fight for a long time as soon as they met, and he didn't understand what the two of them meant, but it was not easy to interject, so he had to stand in place and watch silently.

"Uncle, why are you being locked up here?" calmed Joanna for the time being, came to the old man's side safely, looked at it carefully, and then asked.

"I'm imprisoned here by the Holy See, but I'd like to know how you got into the City Lord's Mansion. There are people from the Holy See guarding everywhere outside, could it be that you have snuck in?" the old man in sackcloth asked rhetorically after answering the question of the masked man in front of him.

"Holy See, are you saying that the City Lord's Mansion has been controlled by the people of the Holy See?" Ping'an learned this information from the old man in Mai, and hurriedly continued to ask.

"Looks like you're new to Kolos City, and you don't know what's going on here!" the old man in Mai sighed when he heard the masked man's words.

"Uncle is right, I didn't see a single garrison of the Aprin Empire in Kolos City, I only saw people and horses of the Holy See Templar Order everywhere, I also came here to find out what is going on here, please let me know!"

"Hey... Looks like I guessed right... I've been locked up here for a long time, almost a year. I don't know what's going on out there now, but I can only tell you what happened in the city of Kolos before I was imprisoned. The old man in sackcloth sighed when he heard the masked man's words, and then said.

"Please!"

"It all started four years ago...... Archbishop Tolan tried unsuccessfully to find the commander of the Ascending Dragon Army to slash the lord's people, and then returned to the county town of Antis with his men from the county seat of Kolos. A month later, Archbishop Tolan returned with his men. Since then, the office of the Holy See in the county seat of Kolos has also been under his jurisdiction, and he has been stationed here for a long time. At that time, the position of the city lord of Kolos had been vacant, and I could only manage it for the time being. When the Furious Slash left, he left a thousand Imperial Border Guards in the city, and they were to temporarily help maintain the day-to-day defense of the county town of Kolos. I have always dealt with these affairs in Kolos County with the City Lord of Zhao Wu before, and with the 1,000 defense troops left behind by Lord Fury, I can still deal with it for a while. ”

However, when Archbishop Tolan returned to the county seat of Kolos, he led his Knights Templar soldiers and began to go from house to house in the county town to collect taxes from the inhabitants of the city. The reason is that all the residents of Kolos County are responsible for the escape of Lord Zhao Wu and the death of Bishop Chloe. It is said that in order to make up for the losses of the Holy See, each family must pay a large amount of money on a regular basis. But we belong to the outside of the territory, it is a place that is easy to be invaded by alien insects, this kind of place is poor and remote, where do the people who live here have any money, and even the ruler of the empire wants to canonize the extraterritorial city as a hereditary territory for others, and only by relying on the imperial appointment of military officers to come here to govern can the empire's rule here be maintained. ”

"How can the Holy See be like this, it's just too much of a deception!Bachelor Yuanzheng, can't you stop them?" Listening to the old man in Mai for so long, Ping'an had already learned from his words that he was the Yuanzheng scholar who had been in charge of assisting the city lord of Zhao Wu before. Hearing this, Ping An finally couldn't help but scold the Holy See for this behavior.

"Stop? I also thought, but how can I stop it! To put it nicely, I am still a figure in this county, second only to the lord of a city. But even so, I can't persuade Bishop Chloe, let alone Archbishop Tolan now. Master Yuan Zheng sighed.

"Then why did the Holy See imprison you here?" asked Ping'an as he continued.

"This is going to talk about a year ago, because there has been no invasion of insects in the Beichuan Mountains in the past few years, at that time, the imperial border guards stationed under the entrance of the Beichuan Mountains decided to reduce the size of the garrison, and the 100,000 troops left 70,000 at once, and by the way, the 1,000 imperial border guards temporarily stationed in the county town of Kolos were also taken away. However, in the past few years, he has not seen the newly appointed lord of Kolos from the Aprin Empire come to garrison the county seat of Kolos, and Archbishop Tolan found this opportunity, so he took over the defense of the entire county town of Kolos and replaced them with soldiers of the Holy See Knights Templar under his command. Prior to this, he imposed a large tax on the residents of the county town of Kolos, and many of them were forced to leave the area by force. In the past three years, nearly half of the residents of Kolos County have fled, and now there are less than 30,000 people in the entire city of Kolos. Since he was in charge of the defense of the county seat of Kolos, in order to prevent the residents of the county town of Kolos from continuing to flee, he issued a decree in the county seat that as long as he left the county seat of Kolos, he had to pay a papal coin, otherwise he was not allowed to leave the city. When I learned of this, of course, I objected, and went to the office of the Holy See in Kolos to find Archbishop Tolan to persuade me, but I did not expect him to have me detained without saying a word. Then he took his men into the city lord's mansion, and at the same time escorted me to the city lord's mansion, put iron chains on me, and locked me in this room. That's all I know, and I don't know what good Archbishop Tolan has done outside this year!" Archbishop Yuan Zheng didn't understand why Archbishop Tolan did this, so he could only tell the masked man in front of him what he had experienced in the past few years.
