Bishop Boggs is Alfonso's confidant and has been operating in Ghost City for more than a decade, due to the special status of the Church of Light. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Bishop Boggs, who is a clergyman, is rightfully the supreme authority in Ghost City, and he controls everything in the city.
Although Ghost City has been impoverished after the war many years ago, it is a place that no one else wants to choose, and it is not rich enough.
However, there is something that Boggs is very interested in here, and that is gemstones, and Ghost City is one of the former gem producing regions.
Although the minerals have been exhausted after many years of mining in history, they cannot be mined at all, which is also the reason why others are reluctant to come.
No matter how rich the history is, it has little to do with the present, but Boggs does not think so, because the veins are depleted.
However, due to history, in the territory of Ghost City, the villagers of various villages have more or less collected a lot of shining gems in their homes.
This excites Boggs, whose passion for gemstones is unparalleled, as can be seen in the collection case of the lord's mansion.
The collection cabinet behind him was filled with all kinds of gemstones, which shone brightly, which made him feel a special sense of accomplishment.
"Hey, hey, hey, these gems are mine, no one can take them away, they're mine, they're really cute, but I always feel like there's something missing, yes, it's really less, it's far from enough, I have to collect more gems." ”
"Those damned villagers, how can they have these sacred and noble gems, hide them all and refuse to worship the great goddess of light, this is a blasphemy against the goddess! ”
"These shining gems are kept by me, this is the will of the goddess of light, hehehehe, here I am the supreme god, all of them are mine, all the gems in the world are mine, people, hurry up and find gems for me, my collection here is far from enough!"
When Boggs saw the crystal clear gems, his eyes were already sunk and he was drawn in, and an expression of excitement appeared on his face.
His face was already covered with folds, and he looked even more distorted, and his greed for gems had completely corrupted his soul!
"It's an amazing collection, and it must have gone into a lot of extraordinary ways to get your hands on so many gems, right?"
Just as Boggs was obsessively caressing his treasure, someone walked in the hall, and a cold wind poured in from outside, and the rain rattled.
But Boggs didn't care, because the soldiers were out on patrol, and he didn't like people to look at his gems even a little more.
It's just that he was in a good mood today, and the young man who came in looked quite pleasing to the eye, so he didn't get angry on the spot.
"That's right, it took all my effort to collect these gems, and I used all the methods to get them, and those hateful heretics hid them so that I wouldn't find them, hehe, but under the purification of the light, didn't they all hand them over honestly?"
Boggs didn't react much to the young man's intrusion, which may or may not be a new officer.
After all, some time ago, he received news that due to a large number of purifications recently, the affairs have increased, and several affairs officers will be sent to him.
"The gems are beautiful, but they can't speak, but if they can, guess what they'll say?"
The young man walked slowly behind Boggs, who examined the treasures with great interest, and suddenly raised questions.
"Gems can speak, and if they did, they would be excited to be chosen by God, and that's their glory. ”
Boggs was extremely proud of his collection, and his eyes were still firmly attracted to the gemstones, not on the young people.
"Is it glorious? But when they were plundered from their former masters, stained with blood, maybe they wept or not?"
The young man shook his head slightly, disagreeing with Boggs's assertions, and did not seem to have taken the high-ranking cardinal into account at all.
"What are you talking about, this is their great glory, how can they cry, stop talking nonsense here, I'm angry, guard, take him down to me, let him taste purification, guard, can't you bastards hear me?"
Boggs was very angry with the young man's attitude, and immediately reprimanded the guards, ready to take him down and pay the due price for his words and deeds.
However, he scolded for a long time but found that no one responded, and after a while, a few guys in black armor walked in calmly.
"Glory is just wishful thinking on your part, isn't it? Isn't it true that Your Excellency Boggs is not afraid of nightmares at night, and do you think that the Goddess of Light can really protect you?"
The young man walked over to the cupboard, took a piece of obsidian and rubbed it in his hand, which was immediately exchanged for a scream from Boggs.
"Hurry up and get your dirty hands away, this will defile my treasures, who are you, if you don't get out of here, if you don't leave here, you will be punished by the goddess of light, go out of me immediately, can't you hear me?
Boggs shouted at the young man and pounced to try to stop him, but a man in armor approached.
The tall, muscular officer easily picked him up and threw him to the ground, but even then Boggs didn't stop yelling.
"Guards, kill them all, this is your own infliction, the goddess of light will definitely not let you heretics go easily, all of them will die!"
Boggs scolded the fellows in the most vicious terms, saying that the gems he cherished were more important than his life, and no one could touch them.
"No need to shout guards, half of the defenders in Ghost City have been wiped out, half have surrendered, and some have escaped sporadically, but in this case it is difficult for them to escape too far, and they will be caught by villagers everywhere, so is this what makes you make a good city look like this? Greedy desire is really a sad thing, let's prove one thing. ”
The young man who was amazed by Lin Ye picked up several rubies and sapphires and held them in his hands, exuding a crystal clear luster.
"What are you talking about, I am blessed by the goddess of light, I am the most pious servant of the goddess, you will be punished!"
Boggs was too old and deaf to listen to what Lin Ye was saying, all he was concerned about was his treasures.
"Prove if these gems are truly honored to fall into your hands, or ...... They can't wait to start their revenge?"
Lin Ye slowly walked in with the gem in his hand, and by this time Cassiu had already set up Boggs, stuck his throat and forced him to open his mouth.
Boggs' gaze gradually changed from doubt to panic, and with a "woo-woo" sound, he finally collapsed to the ground.
The gems were scattered on the ground, and Lin Ye turned around and walked away expressionlessly.
"Unfortunately, it seems that you are wrong, if these gems can really speak, they have nothing but hatred and revenge against you. ”
