In a moment, a man who looked like the captain of the guard came up, followed by about ten people, who were not tall in stature, but with bright eyes, and asked, "Your Excellency is Lord Romon Fanada Tatshaw?"

"Yes, who is your Excellency?" replied Romon calmly.

The captain nodded slightly and said, "Don't dare, I'm the captain of the church guard, and I'm ordered to take you to the Kada district." ”

Romon nodded slightly, the man didn't even say his name.

"Lord Tatshaw, then, please!" the captain of the soldiers gestured, but it was only a superficial courtesy.

Romon smiled bitterly and looked to the side, there was already a carriage, this carriage was gray and narrow, and it was a little uncomfortable to see the situation, so he had to get into the carriage.

The captain of the guard followed him, and the other soldiers, in a completely protective posture, surrounded him towards the city.

"Stop, I have something to say. Walking on the road, Romon said suddenly.

The captain of the guard waved his hand, and the group stopped. "Lord Tatshaw, what do you command?"

The other party speaks in a form that is still very humble.

Romon asked tentatively, "Can you send a message to my subordinates before I go to the Kada district?" I came this time, and they didn't know it, and I was afraid that my disappearance would cause them to panic." ”

"I'm sorry, Lord Lord, but because our mission is for the Church, you can't contact anyone else just yet. However, you only need to make a trip to assist in the investigation. The captain of the guard replied politely.

Hearing that he couldn't contact other people, Romon felt a pang in his heart, and he began to have a bad feeling.

Of course, these ten people are all below the fifth level, no matter how strong the Church of the Lord of Radiance is, it is impossible to use knights as soldiers, with his combat strength, he can instantly level these ten soldiers and leave, but this challenges the authority of the Lord of Radiance, and before he figures out what is going on, he is in ruin, it is not Romon's surname.

So, Romon just sighed and said, "Okay then, let's keep going." ”

The captain of the guard nodded, stopped talking, waved to the others, and the group moved on.

Along the way, although it was at night, there were still many people who saw this group of people and glanced at them curiously, but once they saw the gray carriage, everyone's faces immediately changed and they hurriedly avoided it.

Seeing this situation, Luo Meng felt even more uneasy, and began to understand in his heart that his current situation, to put it mildly, was invited to assist in the investigation, and to say that it was not good, it was semi-arrested.

There were no words along the way, and soon, the group of them came to an area, which was full of soldiers, and many knights with the Holy Emblem of the Lord of Radiance led the patrol.

Driving along a main road, Romon saw a temple and a barracks, and his heart became even more uneasy.

At this time, Romon did not know that this Kada district was the prestigious Inquisition, of course, it was only a small branch here.

It is said that the Inquisition, 3,000 years ago, also tried the king, Faki VII, who spent the last three years of his life in the Inquisition.

Of course, such an act completely angered the aristocratic class, and in this way, the rapid rise of Saeddat, the god of order and law, faintly had the tendency to fight against the Lord of Radiance, and maintain the nobility and order from violation.

However, although the authority of the Inquisition has declined considerably, there have also been some minor nobles imprisoned, and Romon is not the first, nor the last.

At this time, Romon did not know this, but he saw the high wall and the arrow tower, and the uniformed guards, patrolling back and forth, which was beyond his expectations, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like a prison.

Here, after another long walk, they stopped in front of a building that looked very imposing. The building is divided into three floors, plus one basement, for a total of four floors, and the soldiers take Romon directly to the basement floor.

Walking down the stairs that were dozens of meters long, Romon began to know that something might be going to happen today.

Sure enough, after walking through the steps, what appeared in front of me was a long corridor, and on both sides of the corridor, houses one after another.

"Your Excellency, I've wronged you for a while, and we'll go and inform the Bishop, so you can rest here first!" Politely, but resolutely, Romon was pushed into a room.

When I went in, I found that it was not a small room, and it was quite clean, except for a few straw blankets, and there was nothing else.

There was an old man inside, a middle-aged man in his thirties, and a teenager, and when Romon was pushed in, they all raised their heads and cast somewhat complicated glances at him.

Behind him came the sound of the iron door shut, and Romon now understood his situation. It's a prison, a prison that belongs to the church, and there's no place but a prison, and it can be like this.

"Young man, you have been caught by them as well? Come on, come on, sit here. The two younger men didn't pay attention to Romon, but the old man, seeing Romon standing there a little dazed and looking around, couldn't help beckoning him to sit next to him.

Luo Meng also wanted to understand the situation, so he sat down according to his words.

"Young man, why did they get you in? Did you also track down or accidentally discover something recently?" the old man asked, looking him up and down.

This old man is short in stature, with unkempt hair, and wears glasses that are rare in this era, this is an item that can only be made by the Magic Guild, and it is obvious that this old man is not an ordinary person, but probably a scholar.

Of course, Romon only came out of the mining area at this time, and although he changed his clothes, he was only better than ordinary people, basically the appearance of a middle citizen class.

Hearing this, Luo Meng was shocked.

"My name is Romon, who gentleman are you?" I suppose what is your situation?" Romont carefully chose the words, "I was brought in for questioning because of the mine." ”

When Romon spoke, the old man kept staring, and after a long while, he said with a wry smile: "Young man, you are very cautious, but there is no need here, did you find something from the ground?"

Luo Meng looked at the old man with some surprise: "How do you know?"

"I'm Lu Lun, a scholar in the city, recently noticed that there was movement in the Anshad Canyon, a lot of monsters appeared, went to investigate, and was brought here, not only me, they are, but they are more wronged, it happens to be a local witness, and they said something!" The old man smiled bitterly, pointed to the two people next to him, and when he saw himself, the two people actually just raised their heads and looked at them indifferently, and then lowered their heads and continued to be in a daze.

"Actually, it's not just us, in the past few months, a lot of people have been arrested here, and we are all newcomers, and the previous batch of people have already left. The old man Lu Lun finally sighed and said.

"Gone?" Romon was a little puzzled, "Where are you going?"

"Of course I am dead! If I am gone, I am dead! They are all dead! We will die too! We will all die! Those of us who know the inside story will be executed! If I had known, I would not have reported to the church what I had seen monsters! I thought I would get some reward, but I didn't expect to die here! I still have my wife and children to support me! I don't want to die yet! I still have my parents waiting for me to come home! Damn them! I hate them! I hate them!" The middle-aged man, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head and shouted a little.

"Be quiet, do you want to die now?" Scholar Lulun hurriedly said, as he spoke, and sighed again: "If I had known, I wouldn't have told you, hey, the common problem of scholars!"

As a scholar, Lu Lun is certainly analytical, and it is easy to discern the news that makes people desperate.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man really stopped, and then, stunned for a while, he hugged his head and cried in a low voice.

Luo Meng kept watching, and his heart sank little by little: "Could it be ...... Am I going to die here too, just because there's a demon in the underground mines?"

Almost at the same time, in the conference room on the third floor above the prison of Romon, five bishops were discussing the life and death of Romon.

In the conference hall, there were various small statues on the long table, and the statues were all kinds of heroes, each of which glowed with a faint holy light, appearing holy and benevolent.

And in front of them, the topic they are talking about is not so beautiful.

"I think that no matter who it is, it can't be released, in case it is known to ordinary people and there is a panic, then the consequences will be very serious, and at that time, it will not be something we can effectively control. The bishop who was speaking was about thirty years old, with a natural indifference in his eyes, and he was ruthless when he spoke: "According to historical records, the first few times the information was exposed, which led to the emergence of a large area of fear and lies, and even led to the collapse of the anti-demon front, except for those of a certain level, no one can be an exception. ”

This man is the bishop here, the bishop of the Inquisition, Lord Sushim.

Hearing his words, some of the other four bishops present nodded in agreement, and a few others showed hesitant expressions.

"Bishop Susium, I don't agree with your opinion, blocking information and preparing for battle is necessary, but the demonic disaster is imminent, and it may break out within a year, at that time, those who should know will still know, what's the point of killing so many people now?"

The one who spoke was also a bishop, a tall and thin man, about thirty years old, dressed in holy robes, seven golden threads, shining under the magic lights of the hall, this person seemed to be a little wrong with Bishop Susium, raised his voice against it, and when he saw everyone, he said calmly: "Secondly, even if it is to block the information, it is enough to lock these people up temporarily, there is no need to execute them, right?" Especially this Romon, he is a nobleman registered in the kingdom, although he is only a small lord, then he can't be dealt with hastily, you know, the power he has now, although it is not as good as a baron, it is not much worse, because it is not appropriate to kill him in this matter. ”

"Yes, Romon is a lord no matter what, he can't be too hasty, it's better to bring him up for interrogation, and see what kind of attitude he has, after all, he is the lord of that territory, and according to the gods, he can't escape!" said an elderly bishop, his eyes shining with wisdom.

The arbitrary execution of believers and nobles of other gods is why the Church of the Lord of Light has been slowly declining for nearly a thousand years, after all, it is easy to arouse the resentment of other gods, especially nobles.

It doesn't matter if there are one or two nobles, but the tendency of the entire aristocratic class is very strong, even the gods can't ignore it, the Church of the Lord of Radiance has carried out the cleansing of the aristocratic class, but this is only effective for a short time, and in the long run, the disintegration and centrifugation will be faster, and the church has gradually paid attention to this.

The words of the old bishop carried a great weight, and in a moment the synod of bishops produced a motion, and on the morrow, the lord was summoned.

At this time, Luo Meng, who didn't know that he had been around the ghost gate, was talking to the old man in a low voice, while the other two were still in a daze.

At this moment, the iron door clattered and was pushed open from the outside.

"Come out!" several soldiers walked in from outside, picked up the middle-aged man and the boy next to him, and walked out.

"You ...... What are you going to do...... No...... I don't want to die...... "The middle-aged man cried out in fear.

"Shut up!" one of the soldiers pulled him impatiently as he walked out, saying that they had no intention of talking to someone who was about to be executed.

"Wait a minute, where are you going to take them?" Romon stood up.

The soldier glanced at him and said coldly, "I say, this gentleman, mind your own business and don't interfere with our actions." ”

As he spoke, he pulled the two of them and walked out.

The iron door was slammed shut again. And now in the room, only Romon and the old man are left.

"Are they going to be put to death?" Romon asked, incredulous.

Here, life is so low?

In their brief exchange just now, he learned that those two people were innocent free people, and they were executed like this?

"Alas, this is not the first case, stop sympathizing with them, we won't be here for long. Scholar Lulun sighed and sat down, generally speaking, the higher the status, the more cautious it is to execute.

He was a scholar of some repute, and he could at least live a long time, and as for the ordinary citizens, if they found something that they should not have found out, and were stupid enough to spread the word everywhere, they were quickly arrested and executed.

Romon also sat down next to him again, and his heart felt a chill, and it was the first time he had encountered such a situation in this world, which could not help but remind him of the famous several Great Purges, and the arrests and executions that were so swift.

Scholar Lu Lun continued: "You also saw just now, many people have been executed because of this matter, in fact, there are a lot of changes in the underground floor, and the upper layer has known about it for a long time, but they don't plan to tell ordinary people to know, so as not to cause panic...... And we, therefore, are to be sacrificed. ”

Sacrificed people?

Luo Meng, who has been mixed with the wind and water, looked at the empty room, the two of them were still there just now, and now, they should not be there, life is so fragile, for the first time, Luo Meng unprecedentedly appeared confused and afraid.
