It's been a few days since Dawn fell, and I'm afraid not too many people are thinking about it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

For the common people, they just need "order" - order that will allow them to live. The other day, order came, with the new Holy Book of the Redeeming Church, the Reverse Cross, and the bright Red Robe Nail of Redemption.

Shhhh

There was no longer a chant dedicated to the Virgin, and the new white-clad priests played a solemn tune that they had never heard before. Someone once swore that anyone who passed by that side would have their soul purified by the rhythm.

There was no longer the sound of soldiers in the barracks south of the city, and most of the newly arrived soldiers of the Heavenly Bandit Army camped on the plain behind the windmill mill outside the city, and some of them occupied the original camp of the defenders.

There are no more noble nobles in the castle of dawn, the old lord of Shanglesna is dead, the young lord of Sterlo is on the run, and the young lord of Sterlo has the most rumors, one will say that he has succeeded the lord of the city, and the other people will say that he participated in the rebellion.

Oh, rebellion!

People are thinking carefully about this word, since the **** of the Castle of Dawn, the soldiers of the Heavenly Bandit Army have from time to time arrested some kind neighbors on the charge of "rebellion", and sent their whole families to the guillotine.

This is not the worst of all, for it is heard that the family of Varun Balhasti were all hung on the walls of the castle of dawn for the crime of "disrespecting the Father"! The Madame cried for half the night before she died, and the Lord himself was caught in the morning of the next day, and the tenacious vitality of the young lord of Sterlo caused him the greatest sin, and he wailed until the morning of the third day, and the mournful sound was the opposite of the chants in the church, and caused the body and soul of the listener to fall together.

At some point, the soldiers guarding the place that devoured hundreds of souls had been replaced by those wearing red devil armor. According to a few nimble people, they are less afraid of the erosion of evil than the soldiers of the Heavenly Bandit Army.

What is evil?

The Holy Scriptures that have been recited all their lives are evil "False Texts"? The "Holy Texts" of the Redeeming Church are the true will of God? People carefully keep their distance from the two "Holy Texts", and everyone is afraid of the gods in heaven and the iron nails in the mortal world.

Some of the gentlemen freed their slaves, and those who had been imprisoned for a long time were suddenly freed, but they did not know what to do, some of them lingered in front of their masters, and some of them joined the camp of the red-robed pope of the Dark Holy See under the influence of a former slave named Surhard.

The civilians were amazed to find that in addition to these indescribable discomforts and the shame of the fall, it seemed to ...... It doesn't hurt too much - there are no more tax collectors, and although the taxes in Dawn are much lighter than in any other place, taxes are taxes!

Some of them had rightly converted to the Cardinal Pope, and as soon as the insignia of the Cross was raised, they were triumphant and proud, and they laughed in the taverns, walked with their heads held high in the streets, and they glanced with superior gaze at those who dared to cower only in the shadows.

The young people were full of contempt for them, believing that they had betrayed the Fatherland, while the old people were full of fear for them, thinking that they had betrayed the Virgin.

They were traitors, but at the moment they were happier than any godly man.

The people of Auroville were divided into three distinct parties: the treacherous and obedient to the Red Pope of the Dark See, the pious and the Virgin, and the vast majority of them were hesitant between the two, and as the number of people hanging on the wall on the second side grew, more and more hesitant people joined the first party.

This is a delicate order, people are cautiously testing the new rules, and most people do not dare to risk their lives without seeing his bottom line clearly, and those who have already committed danger will either go to heaven or hell.

Most of the people walking on the street bowed their heads, with the shame of the fall, but also with the fear of inexplicable things. The gentlemen dismissed the slaves and had to do something themselves, and the prudent would not go out unless they had to.

Therefore, their pace is hurried, and they will slow down under the gaze of the patrolling soldiers, lest they inexplicably marry the "Queen's Knife".

Odru was now walking down the street like those men, with Sister Maria beside him.

Not long ago, they had just broken up with Aeoman and were separately searching for the home addresses of the traitors who had sent their children to the infidels.

Among those children, Aooman knows all the things that Ooman knows, and what Aoman knows, Ooru may not know.

Aeoman nodded and counted the number of people, and there were more than a dozen families whose addresses could not be determined, so he divided them among Odru and Maria, and went to find the remaining five by himself.

Odrew vaguely guessed what to do to find out the addresses of these people, and after breaking up with Aoman, he asked Sister Maria to confirm his suspicions.

"Yes, you guessed it right, the organization wants to sanction these traitors. The chill in Sister Maria's rational voice made Odrew shudder.

"Sanctions...... Kill them?"

"Probably yes. Sister Maria replied, "Why, you can't bear it? They are all traitors." The nun deliberately accentuated the word "traitor".

"Intellectually, I think it is right to kill those who have betrayed Our Lady and the Fatherland. However, emotionally, I still can't accept it. Killing people at any time is not a noble thing, is it?" said Odru frankly.

"Why didn't you ask when Aeoman was there?" Sister Maria did not answer his question, and smiled and asked another question.

"Uh...... Is that...... Because...... I don't want to be treated like a child by Ioman. Since that conversation, Odrew has felt much closer to Ioman in some ways, and more distant in others.

Sister Maria reached out and took the hand of this immaculate young man, and Aeoman had previously made fun of Oderu's "love" in the boy's heart, and he immediately blushed, and his hand struggled slightly, and then he did not move.

"Be careful. Sister Maria whispered in his ear, "There are bandit soldiers watching us. ”

The young man's pounding heart suddenly eased, he took a deep breath, and squinted at the group of Heavenly Bandit soldiers who were watching them.

I don't know when the patrolling Celestial Bandit Army soldiers have become groups of four or five, and now the Celestial Bandit Army watching them is a strange combination of two humans, an elf, a troll, and a dwarf. Although they were not in the same shape, the black armor they wore on their bodies was just as powerful and fitted.

The elf among them whispered something to his companion, and then everyone laughed together, and they stopped looking at the young man and woman, and turned to look at the motorcade coming from the other end of the street.

In the past few days, convoys of iron and coal have begun to enter the city from the south gate, and they have driven straight into the castle of dawn, unloaded their goods, and then returned. The soldiers of the Heavenly Bandit Army attached great importance to these convoys, and the nervous appearance of guarding them made it seem that the cars were loaded with gold.

Sister Maria breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Odrew to the corner, and in a moment the twins they had been tracking from the old house were gone.

"Hey, what about the two kids in front?" Odru looked left and right, a little anxious, in case he messed up this matter, and went back without the face to see Aoman, he thought so.

Sister Maria turned into another path and whispered, "Follow me." ”

Odrew followed her, and the two turned left and right in the alley, and by the time they crossed the street, the agile Odrew had already walked in front of Sister Maria. At this time, the two brothers were jumping up and down arm-in-arm, coming from the other side of the long street. On the other side of the street, a small group of Heavenly Bandit soldiers was standing.

When Odrew stepped out of the alley, he saw the twins, and hurriedly turned around in a daze, this abrupt movement immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers on the street. Sister Maria saw this, stepped forward quickly, and raised her hand to give a resounding slap in the face, which made the boy dizzy.

"Why did you hit me suddenly?" the boy was about to ask, but Sister Mary cried out first:

"Okay, you conscienceless! I'm so good to you, and you're still thinking about that Juliet! I'm honest with you, but you're hypocritical! Okay, okay, you say, which one do you want! Hmph! Don't want to slip away! If we don't make it clear today, we're not done!"

Sister Maria pressed her hand to the hilt of her sword and glanced at the Bandit soldiers who were walking here, and a young human soldier couldn't help but laugh, and their comrades stopped moving.

The poor honest man was so dazzled by Sister Maria's sudden words that he felt his blood rush to his face at once, his head bowed, and his body bowed like a shrimp from the Lorraine Islands. He was at a loss, and he stammered. The idea that had been buried deep in his heart and never dared to touch it was suddenly turned over, and he felt like he was being stripped naked and thrown on the street to show the public, and any privacy was unobstructed. At this moment, he looks like a fox caught in a clip when stealing chickens, and there are no 10,000 ways to escape.

This twisted look was extremely natural in the eyes of the soldiers of the Heavenly Bandit Army, and the angry look on Sister Maria's face at this moment was also extremely natural.

So, Sister Maria twisted Oderu's ears violently, and the action of dragging him into the alley seemed natural to them, and they certainly did not know that Sister Maria had dragged the boy into the alley and exhaled heavily.

"It's dangerous. Sister Maria wiped the sweat from her forehead, "You are so reckless. ”

"Ahh......h

"Why did you hit me again?" asked the red-haired boy, covering his face, his voice full of confusion and grievances.

"Swelling. The healing light flowed through Sister Maria's fingers, "You don't want to walk down the street against the Five Finger Mountain, do you?"

"Oh, oh, you've been so thoughtful. Odrew muttered, "Just ......"

"It's a show! If it weren't, we'd probably be taken away. ”

"If we just go away, they probably won't be able to catch up – I'm pretty confident in my feet. ”

"If they can't catch up, they will issue an alarm, and then it will become a city-wide search, and then it will be troublesome. Sister Maria sighed, "You are so simple-minded, I kind of understand why Éoman is so hostile to me, you ......"

She didn't finish her words, shook her head, stretched out her hand and wiped it on her face, and her facial features became ordinary again, missing that breathtaking beauty.

"Sister Maria, you have such a good hand!" said Odru, "and your face can change if you want!"

"That's forced, who likes to live with two faces? Sometimes it's not a good thing to be too beautiful. Sister Maria said wistfully, the melancholy look on her face only disappearing for a moment, replaced by a resolute and serious look, "Hey, let's go on with the work that Aeoman has given us." ”

"Those two children...... I can't find it. ”

"No, I know where they're going. Sister Maria said, "Follow me." ”

The crimson-haired boy followed Sister Maria through the streets of Auroville, and he was amazed at how familiar she was with the place. When Aeoman interrogated the nuns the other day, he learned that it had not been long since Sister Maria had come to the city.

"Sister Maria, how do you know this road even to me, a local?" asked Odru, who no longer dared to walk in front of her and honestly follow behind.

"I've walked some of the roads here, and I basically remember them. Maria said lightly, "For a mage, a good memory is a must. ”

"Oh. The young man replied, "When I was learning swordsmanship and music, I almost couldn't remember it, but I couldn't do anything else." ”

"You, you learn things all by hobby, and I'm here to survive. Sister Maria turned to him and said, "Actually, I'm a little ...... Envy the days when you don't have to think too much about anything......"

Even though she distorted her face, Sister Maria's side face still looked so beautiful.

"Now it's time for me to envy you...... Now that things are getting so fast, I always feel like a fool who can't help you and Aoman and keep causing you trouble. ”

Sister Maria smiled and said to herself, "So you know. But he said, "It's not a problem." ”

The girl held out her hand and shook it in front of him, motioning for him to stop. Odrew carefully pressed himself against the wall and looked out of the alley, which he knew, the slums of Auroville.

Odrew looked at the few people coming and going in the street, and whispered to Sister Maria, "Are you sure they're going to come here?"

Sister Maria turned her head playfully, the corners of her mouth slightly curved upward, and she said, "Yes, I'm sure." With that, she put her arms around her shoulders and leaned against the rock-made wall with her eyes closed.

The red-haired boy looked at her confident appearance and was at a loss. He took a step forward, his fist hammering lightly against the opposite wall, occasionally peeking at the gravel and dirt street, sometimes glancing at Sister Maria, who had closed her eyes and was silent.

Without knowing how many times she looked, Sister Maria suddenly opened her bright red eyes, and her gaze met the restless aqua blue eyes of the young man in midair.

"Don't worry, they'll come. Sister Maria closed her eyes again after saying this.

Maria...... Nun. ”

"Huh?"

"How do you know that they are children from the slums? they don't look like children from poor families?" the boy finally mustered up the courage to ask his doubts.

"Oh......" Sister Maria took a boiled potato from her pocket, peeled it, and nibbled it gently, "Odrew, don't you notice? Although they look well dressed, the civilians never eat potatoes for dinner! ”

"That's just one thing, the twins wouldn't have been so ostracized if they were just poor. Sister Maria went on to say to the young man, "Usually there is hardly anyone to answer them, except for the noble gentlemen, so it seems that they are either the children of slaves or the children of the poor, so they ......."

"So they will surely come from here, back to the inferior people who eat potatoes. The boy looked up down the road.

"Odrew, something......" Sister Maria suddenly felt a little unpalatable about the potato in her hand, and she called his name softly, and the boy turned his head to look at her.

"That...... I am very fond of eating potatoes, which I know is often brought to prisoners by wardens. You guys...... Do you usually feed him to pigs?"

"yes. Odru nodded, don't you care, I'm not...... Say...... That, the ascetic often put himself to a harsh test, and he was not very ...... in his diet That one...... Particular about ......"

"I'm not an ascetic, and ascetics can't build their own families. Sister Maria said lightly, "I still want to inherit my family!"

"Hah...... Ha ......" The boy who knew he had said the wrong thing touched his head embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I can't speak, I didn't mean that......"

"It doesn't matter. Sister Maria didn't look angry, but the voice made Isaac feel very sad, and she pulled out another potato and threw it to him, "Catch!"

The red-haired, blue-eyed boy reached out and caught the potato, and now he somewhat understood the philosophy of the old man's allusion to the phrase "like a hot potato" - even though the potato was warm to the hand, not hot at all.

Before the boy could figure out where Sister Maria had hidden so many boiled potatoes, the nun diverted his attention:

"Those two little ones haven't come yet, do you want me to tell you about the legend of potatoes?"

"Potato's ...... Legend!?" Odru glared at the round thing in his hand, "This thing has a story too?"

"Well, of course, this thing has something to do with a great man in history. Sister Maria opened her eyes with that glamorous smile, and the crimson-haired boy looked at it and his heart pounded.

"Potatoes were first produced in the northern part of Midfield and the island of Ireland in the previous century. In the forty-seventh year of Rodel, the kingdom of Midfield suffered a rare famine in a century, and at the same time, the Black Death, known as the 'curse of the evil king', began to spread widely. Although it had been more than forty years since the 'Holy Demon War' that had devastated the kingdom of Midfeldt, the little money that had been accumulated in the treasury for forty years was immediately spent in this disaster. The Great Sage made a very important decision at that time, he sent people to import potatoes from the north and forced them to be cultivated throughout the country. Although many people later died of poisoning because they did not know how to eat potatoes, the catastrophe was survived after all. From that time on, potatoes became one of the main food staples of the Midfield Kingdom, and later spread to the United Kingdom of Faliston between Rhodel 231 and ******, and played a key role in the Great Famine of 653, 987, and 1564 in the Holy Calendar. ”

"You know very well, Sister Maria. Odrew peeled off the potato and took a bite, the potato was boiled with salt, the fragrant starch had a salty taste, and the texture was slightly different from the usual ones.

"So, don't underestimate anything that can satisfy your stomach, especially if it's so delicious. Sister Maria finished nibbling on the potato in her hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands.

"The taste of this one is a little different from that of ordinary potatoes. "It seems to be very fluffy." ”

"Hehe, this is an improved variety planted by my teacher, and he originally wanted to cultivate and extract a highly poisonous from it, and he ended up growing this. Sister Maria smiled.

The red-haired boy was just about to ask the nun about his teacher, when the twins' voices rang out:

“...... In the presence of the Father and the Pope, all men are equal. The spear of the Lord of Order will be the rod and scale of the soul......"

"Here they are. Sister Maria said that she motioned for Odrew to come near her, and when the boy came to her, she suddenly reached out and tore his clothes.

"You??" As Odrew was stunned, Maria wiped some dried dirt on his clothes. When she was done, she put some mud on her clothes.

"It's weird to say anything about this here, it's still so natural. Sister Maria looked at Odrew and herself with satisfaction, "You go ahead, and I follow you." ”

"Oh!" the red-haired boy reacted, and couldn't help but feel a little red, and he stepped out of the alley quickly, and then he felt better. He did not dare to look back at Sister Maria, even though he could hear from his footsteps that she was not far behind him.

The twins, who were seven or eight years old, did not notice that they were followed by two tails, and the brothers were still hopping home humming the songs they had learned at school today.

"Our organization...... Are you going to sanction the parents of these two children?" Odru panicked, and thought to himself, "If the organization kills their parents, what will happen to these two poor children? They are helpless! Oh! They are helpless!"

Just when the boy hesitated and couldn't find anyone to discuss, the twins arrived at their destination.

Next to the small shack stood a woman dressed a little out of proportion, rubbing her waist as she took a few copper coins from a disheveled man. The woman wore a pale yellow cloth dress, and a red rose was inserted in her sideburns, which, though somewhat withered, still added a delicate touch to the master's face. Though she had dressed herself, anyone could tell that the woman was past the age of a flower, that her sleepy face had the marks of time, that her outstretched fingers were red and swollen, and that she was dressed in a slightly extravagant garment that was relatively lavish in contrast to the twins' neat and clean clothes.

"Mommy!" the twins screamed together and ran towards the woman. The place is full of strange discards, and it gets dusty when you run it. However, when the woman saw them, her pale face turned ruddy with blood.

Odru stopped, watched in amazement as the woman lovingly embraced the two children into her arms, picked them up with the bosom of the men she had embraced so many men, and bowed into the hut, laughter and laughter streaming from the low shack.

"Mom, we've learned a lot today!"

"Mom, why are you ...... again?"

"Good baby, try to listen to your husband and learn more. That's it for Mom's life, you can't do this. ”

"Hmm!" the twins said in unison.

Although he didn't know much about it, Odrew guessed the disgraceful profession that the woman was engaged in. In the past, he always took a detour when he saw them, as if he had encountered a plague. It was the first time I had observed them so closely, listened to them.

For the first time, the teenager felt that they were also "people".

After seeing the smile that was similar to the already hazy smile that had been hidden in his memory since childhood, the young man's heart was even more confused.

There was a rustling of footsteps, and without looking back, I knew that it was Sister Maria's soft-soled shoes, which had advanced to the shack, and had lightly crossed the white on the door.

With all this done, Sister Maria turned around and made a gesture towards Odru as she signaled that she was done and could retreat.

The boy awoke from his contemplation and followed Sister Maria out of the filthy place, and when they returned to the deserted alley ahead, Odrew took the initiative to call the nun's name.

Maria turned around and saw the red-haired boy walking with his head down, he slowly raised his head and asked with difficulty:

"Sister Maria, we ...... Be...... Is it just?"

In that moment, Maria saw a pair of pure and immaculate aqua blue eyes, and for the first time saw the heart of their master, untainted by any hypocrisy, equally crystal clear.
