Chapter 34: The Collapse of the Knight's Faith
Four days later, Clinton saw Ackley's body in the dungeon, the man who had guarded the night of the town of Sealin, the man who was going on a long journey after the death of the old bishop. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
There was a sound of footsteps, and Clinton hurriedly ducked to the side.
Two figures came side by side, one the new bishop, the other the new vicara, the original Reverend Ridley, followed by a temple guard.
The guard took the key and opened the door to the dungeon.
"The Night's Watch, the Temple never needed this. The new bishop glanced at the corpses in the dungeon, and then said to Ledley next to him: "Ledley, it seems that after a trip to the royal city, your strength has indeed grown greatly. ”
"The bishop has won the prize. Ridley owes himself and says, "It's just a mere heresy, and under the light of God, there is naturally no way to compete with me, a servant of God." ”
The new bishop smiled suddenly, and said, "Ledley, if I'm not mistaken, this name is not an ordinary heretic, I remember that you worked together a lot. ”
Ridley was expressionless and said, "The old bishop is confused, and this heretic does have some ability, so it is also his glory to be able to do something for God before he dies." ”
"That's good, but I remember that he seems to have taken in a disciple recently, what are you going to do with him?"
Clinton suddenly became nervous, because he knew that the new bishop's heretic disciple should be referring to him, although he had never been involved in magic, but the current situation was obviously no longer a question of magic or not.
Ridley frowned and said, "That man is just a knight, and he doesn't have much to do with Akeley. ”
The new bishop's smile retracted, and he said: "Anything that involves heresy, we can't be careless, heresy is the best at demagogy, just a knight, Xilin Town can afford to lose." ”
Clinton's heart sank to the bottom, and he understood what the new bishop meant, whether he had studied magic or not, to kill himself, just because he had been in contact with Akeley.
Just because you've been in contact with it, you're going to kill yourself without asking?
Is his life so cheap?
The values that Clinton had always cultivated in the temple and chivalry suddenly changed, and the world seemed to be different from what he had seen before.
Isn't the temple a representation of justice and goodness?
Isn't heresy the embodiment of evil?
Why did Ackley guard the town of Sealin for so many years?
Why would the new bishop and Ridley kill a meritorious man? Why wouldn't they even let themselves go? This is the bishop and the priest of the temple, why is that?
Could it be that what Ackley said before was true?
Is God really just an illusion, everything is a struggle between politics and power, and the temple is no more sacred than heresy?
Clinton didn't dare to be exposed to anyone again, he quietly went to the magic book left by Ackley from the stable, and then left the town of Xilin forever, his heart was very confused, and he wanted to find the real answer.
But where can you look for it?
Bishop's Office.
Ridley owed to the bishop and said, "The bishop's conjecture is correct, that little knight has indeed fallen into the path of heresy, and his subordinates are too late to make a move, so they let people run away." ”
The bishop waved his hand and said, "Forget it, just run, a little knight, can't make waves, strengthen the investigation of Xilin Town, and strive to find out all the heretics." ”
"Yes!"
......
......
The Bishop didn't care about the escaped knights, but Ridley didn't really care, and at sunset, a squad of Templars left the town and headed west.
Night.
Clinton's expression changed suddenly, extinguished the fire with one kick, and then quickly retreated into the darkness, and the next moment, two knights in armor appeared in front of the fire.
"The fire has just been extinguished, and it shouldn't be far yet. ”
"Chase!"
But just as the chasing word fell, a sharp sword suddenly pierced his throat, so that the rest of his voice died in his throat forever, covering his neck, and the knight did not dare to fall.
The other knight reacted quickly, and his spear stabbed out, regardless of the injuries of his teammates, and after sensing Clinton's position, he also pierced his teammates.
Clinton didn't expect the other party to be so ruthless, and when he was about to dodge, the spear had already stabbed him, and he could only forcibly move his body away a short distance.
The tip of the gun stabbed Clinton in the lower abdomen.
The severe pain stimulated Clinton, and even more stimulated Clinton's fierce aura of killing countless robbers during the trial.
In the blink of an eye, two of the pursuing knights were dead.
But for Clinton, a real life-and-death crisis is coming, because he has already exposed his position, and there are still three enemies that have not yet appeared, and even more powerful enemies.
Tonight is destined to be a tough battle.
Clinton drew the knight's spear, sword in one hand and gun in the other, facing the darkness.
Three knights came out of the darkness, two of them approaching Clinton on the left and the right, while the other clasped his hands on his chest, as if he was confident about everything.
Clinton knew the man.
Luffy, nicknamed the Butcher, held the position of Vanguard Squad Leader among the Templars, and his true strength was unfathomable, and he was only succumbed to the position of Squad Leader because his methods were too bloody and violent.
"Up!"
At Luffy's order, the two knights moved at the same time, kicking their feet, and even two spears stabbed straight at Clinton's body, one to the head and one to the chest.
The two were teammates and had worked together countless times, and with one move, they blocked almost all of Clinton's retreats.
If Clinton had not been tried, he would have died.
But in the process of confronting the bandits around Sunset Town, Clinton encountered an even more dangerous situation, turning sideways, spinning, and narrowly dodging two spears.
Before he was done, he saw a short figure of Clinton, jumping to the left, and at the same time the spear in his hand was thrown to the right, and the long sword turned around, slashing through the neck of the knight on the left.
Then, with a pull of his right hand, Clinton used the strip of cloth tied to the spear to pull the spear back into his hand, and the force of the recoil caused Clinton to move a large part to the right.
The figure approached the right knight and attacked again.
At this moment, Clinton only felt a strong wind rushing towards him, and without thinking about it, he immediately gave up the excellent opportunity to attack and quickly dodged it.
As soon as he looked up, he saw Luffy carrying a huge axe and slashing it with great force.
