Chapter 13: The Chapel of Thorns I
Looking at the intimate kitten spirit at his feet, Bai Ye stretched out his hand to stroke it, but when he saw that the palm of his hand was cut by the guard's sword, and the wound that had not yet healed completely, he couldn't help but withdraw his hand in cringe. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I don't know if the sacrifice this cat spirit has made for me is worth it. ”
He said gloomily, stroking the scars on his palms.
Odda shook his head: "The reason why I told you about the nobility of this cat spirit is not that you are not worthy of its sacrifice. The lives of all souls are equal, the lives of princes and nobles are not more valuable, and the lives of homeless orphans are not cheap. I just want to tell you that you should cherish this opportunity and live well. ”
"I don't feel that my life is any more despicable, Oda , but you say that the Cat Spirit chose to save me because I sacrificed myself to save Patlem, because it felt that I had a noble soul. ”
"Of course. ”
"But the cat spirit is wrong, you are all wrong. I really don't want Patlum to die like that, after all, he saved me from the devil once, he's a good man, and I'm grateful to him, but that's about it. All I could think about was to find a chance to escape, and I even suspected that the old wizard was trying to kill me. I pushed him away and did save his life, but I didn't expect the shards of the blade to hit me instead, it was happening so fast that I wouldn't have saved him if I had been given another chance, or given time to think about it. I don't have any noble soul, and I feel sick when I hear such words, because I have nothing. “
Bai Ye said word by word: "In my soul, there is nothing. ”
The young wanderer's words were clearly not what Oda had expected, and he pondered for a moment, then stood up with his scabbard in his sheath, his dark skin bathed in sunlight.
It's all over, looking at Oda back, Bai Ye thought to himself, we are completely different people, you just continue to live in the sun, believe in some noble dedication and other nonsense, I am a street child who grew up in the sewers, I will return to Bliss, or do those pit door abductions, murder and arson. We don't owe each other.
At this time, Oda said in a low voice: "Your injury is not healed, it is better to rest more, I will come to visit another day." ”
With that, Odda walked away, leaving Bai Ye to sit alone in the garden, and he lowered his head, and the cat spirit was gone.
The white night waited until the sun went down, the sun dissipated, and the weather became a little cooler, before slowly getting up and returning to the room.
For the next two days, Oda didn't appear again, probably because he was upset by Hakuya's words. But Patlem didn't see it for some reason, could it be that he was injured after he fainted, but since Odda didn't talk about it, it shouldn't be a big problem, maybe he had left Grey Raven Castle.
Compared with Patlem, what worries Bai Ye more is the heavenly evil, whether he has been captured, killed, or escaped, Bai Ye doesn't know at all. He couldn't help but blame himself for not asking Oda in time for such an important news, but to anger him away. It's fine if the Heavenly Evil dies or escapes, but if he is caught and confesses that he cooperated with their brothers, his situation will be very dangerous.
Now, he can still rest and recuperate in the church, which means that his identity has not been revealed. But I can't let my guard down, and now I should leave here as soon as possible, or even leave the Crow Castle, hide in the countryside for a while, and come back when this turmoil has passed.
As we all know, the attitude of the Church of Thorns towards demons has always been to eliminate evil and not show mercy. And the Heavenly Evil killed the two guards of the Grey Raven Castle and set a fire, which must have caused panic in the hearts of the people, and Xiao Sloan, as the lord, will definitely not give up. It's not that he cares about the lives of the guards and the common people, but a demon kills people and sets fire to the Grey Raven Castle, if it is not dealt with as soon as possible, it will inevitably greatly affect the authority of the little Sloane, and at the same time, it will also seriously affect the trade here, without trade there is no tax, this is a simple reason.
Money and authority, that's all Sloan Jr. cares about.
Although he wants to leave as soon as possible, Bai Ye's injury is not a small injury, even with the help of the cat spirit, there is still some distance from recovery. For the past two days, the medical chaplains came to treat themselves, and unlike the amiable medical pastors in the Midtown church, the people of the church were tall and cold, their costumes were more luxurious, and the thorn patterns on their sleeves were more intricate. They never asked a word more about Bai Ye, and every time they came over without saying a word, and after administering treatment to Bai Ye's wounds, they turned around and left.
It seems that the treatment of civilians like White Night makes them very unhappy.
But Bai Yecai didn't care, he still felt quite proud that he could make these noble lords angry. If it weren't for him and he was in a bad mood, he would definitely have to ridicule them a few words. But the estranged relationship with the healing priest also deprived Bai Ye of the opportunity to learn about the outside world.
But fortunately, there is also a little boy who delivers food and changes clothes every day, named Amis, who is also the second son of a down-and-out sir, because of his family's downfall, his father arranged for him to be a servant in the church, first, to save his mouth from eating, and secondly, to hope that he can befriend the powerful here and find a way out for himself. It stands to reason that Amis is also the son of a nobleman, and his identity is far from being comparable to Bai Ye. But he was very happy to take care of Bai Ye, because he felt that Bai Ye was the same age as him, and he had a good temper, and the two of them could talk, not as difficult as other priests.
Although he had a good relationship with Amis, it was also intentional on the part of Bai Ye, but he did like this scheming child very much, maybe he was a little lonely in this strange place.
One day, I sat in the garden and played with a few fallen leaves, surrounded by many sage trees, because their jagged leaves resembled the shape of a tower, also known as pagoda trees. It is said that the great sage Augustlan, after dissuading King Hong of the Rashadr Empire from waging war against the southern barbarian kingdoms, stopped breathing while resting under a pagoda tree due to exhaustion on the way home. In his honor, the tree was named the Sage Tree.
But for the White Night, the Philosopher Tree serves another purpose.
"It's time to change your clothes, Brother White Night. ”
Amis greeted the white night in front of the porch with a new set of clothes.
"Just put it in your room, I'll change it myself later. ”
"Is your wound okay, I'll help you replace it. ”
"If you're a little girl, I'm not going to refuse you to help me change my clothes. Bai Ye smiled slightly: "I, Amis, am not a sick noble young master, you don't have to worry about me, my wounds are much better now." ”
Amis smiled, went to the room to put away his clothes, and then came to sit down beside Bai Ye.
"I think your opinion of the noble children is too prejudiced, Brother Bai Ye, there are many very powerful guys among them, after all, they have to receive a very strict knightly education since they were young, learn all kinds of knowledge, and hone their martial arts, don't underestimate them. ”
As he spoke, Amis couldn't help but feel a little gloomy, and Bai Ye knew that he was thinking of his situation, and his heart was sad.
