Chapter XXXVII
"You're the priest here?"
The Red Riding Hood officer looked at Sheena and raised his voice a little. Even in the face of a beautiful young sacrificial girl like Hina, her face still has a cold and fierce look.
Without waiting for Sheena to reply, the Red Riding Hood officer strode forward and held up a piece of parchment, and said in a cold voice:
"Decree of the City Lord's Mansion! The Green River City Church occupies too much land in the Green River and has no meaning or value. Therefore, the city lord's palace decided to ban the church, demolish it, and use it for other purposes. ”
"What?"
Hearing the officer's words, Rao is gentle Sheena couldn't help but widen her eyes and show a little anger.
"This kind of order has no basis at all, the church is the private property of the Holy See, and even the City Lord's Mansion has no right to expropriate it!"
A little evil flashed on the Red Riding Hood officer's face, and he slowly put away the instructions in his hand, and said coldly to Shena:
"Priestess! Are you trying to resist the Castle Lord's orders? ”
Sheena pursed her lips and protested:
"It is impossible for us to agree with such an unreasonable order, the City Lord's Mansion has no right to dispose of the private property of the Holy See at will! This kind of thing...... It's baseless! ”
The Red Riding Hood officer narrowed his eyes and said loudly with a cold face:
"I'll ask you again! Priest! Do you want to disobey the orders of the City Lord's Mansion? ”
Sheena's face turned pale, with a somewhat aggrieved look on her face.
"We don't want to disobey the orders of the City Lord's Mansion, but we can't agree to such an unjustified and outrageous order."
"I hope there will be a chance to negotiate with the City Lord's Mansion, I believe there must be some misunderstanding behind this unreasonable order!"
An Ling pursed the corners of his lips on the side, feeling quite amused in his heart.
In this era when the gods are sleeping, the local officials can bully the clergy of the local church so casually, but the clergy has no temper at all, it seems that the Holy See is nothing in the kingdoms.
The Red Riding Hood officer gave Sheena a cold look, already looking more and more impatient.
"There is no need to negotiate. This is an order given by the lord of the castle himself, and it must be completed by tomorrow. ”
"Priestess, I hope you are a little more sensible, the City Lord's Mansion rules the whole city, and you will not have good results in disobeying the orders of the City Lord's Mansion like this. There are many ways to get you out of this church. ”
Then he turned around with his hands in his hands, swept his chin around the church, and said sarcastically:
"I remember that no one has been here in this place for a long time, right? Wasn't it all about to close in the past few years? I really don't know what you guys are still holding on to here, how many people still believe in gods these days? ”
"Such a broken place, it occupies too much land and is worthless, so the City Lord's Mansion wants to ban it, is it difficult for you to understand?"
After speaking, he smiled, then turned to look at Sheena and said:
"Of course, I admit that there is some truth to what you said, this is barely a kind of private property, right? Heh~ Then our city lord's mansion is reluctant to pay a compensation for its difficulties, you put forward some conditions, and we look at it and agree.
"Don't be uninteresting."
"You!"
Sheena was furious when she heard this, and glared at the Red Riding Hood officer and was about to reprimand, but was suddenly stopped by the old priest Roy reaching out for help.
I saw old Roy cough twice and say something to Sheena that everyone didn't expect:
"Let's promise, Lord Priest, shall we?"
The anger on Sheena's face turned to consternation, and she looked at old Roy blankly, and said:
"What are you talking about? Priest Roy. ”
Old Roy took a deep breath and became more slumped.
"Promise, Priestess, ahem! Since they are willing to make amends, let's say yes. ”
Hina frowned and shook her head:
"Priest Roy, this church is the brainchild of you and the old priest, how can you agree to such a request, the church is gone, what about those believers?"
An Ling was also secretly surprised when he watched from the sidelines, he didn't expect that the old priest Roy, who was originally the most angry about this order, would be the first to agree to the other party's request.
Is it just because there is compensation?
Old Roy Baba looked at Sheena, his eyes sparkling with pain and pleading. He seemed to be speechless, his lips trembling and he couldn't make a sound.
In desperation, Sheena could only listen carefully.
“……”
After hearing what Old Roy wanted to say, Sheena's eyes darkened, and the attachment between her eyebrows disappeared.
She shook her head and sighed, then turned around, looked at the Red Riding Hood officer with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice:
"Well, we are willing to accept the order of the City Lord's Mansion and leave this church tomorrow. But when it comes to compensation, can you make a decision on behalf of the City Lord's Mansion? ”
The red hat officer raised an eyebrow, and finally showed a smug smile on his fierce face, and said to Sheena with a leisurely hand:
"Of course, please rest assured, I can definitely make a decision on behalf of the City Lord's Mansion, what compensation do you want, although you can tell me here."
"The Illuminati punish those who do not know reverence."
Sheena muttered coldly to the Red Riding Hood officer, then straightened up and said solemnly:
"We don't want any monetary compensation, it's not a deal. If you want us to get out of the church, we can, but the Lord's Mansion must set up a statue of the goddess of light in the central square of Green River City for everyone to pray and worship, and maintain it at all times. ”
"Yes."
The Red Riding Hood officer was a little surprised by Sheena's request, but readily agreed.
"The City Lord's Mansion has always been honest, and the statue of the Goddess of Light will soon be erected in the central square. But you must leave this church by tomorrow night. ”
Hina frowned and wondered:
"Does it have to be that urgent?"
The Red Riding Hood officer raised his chin again.
"That's what the lord of the castle meant."
"We got it."
Sheena turned her head indifferently, not wanting to look at the officer's face anymore, waved her hand and said:
"Then please go back, don't send it."
"Humph!"
The Red Hat officer sneered and waved his hand at the soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion behind him.
"Let's go!"
Then he left with the soldiers.
……
"He~ cough, cough, cough!"
After these city lord soldiers left, the half-bent old Roy coughed violently again, and even collapsed directly to the ground.
"Priest Roy!"
Sheena was startled and hurried to find out what was going on with him.
An Ling glanced at Old Roy and found that he was much older than a few days ago, and his breath of life was already extremely weak, and he should not be happy.
Hina folded her hands and used magic to temporarily stabilize Old Roy's situation, and then looked at An Ling Dao:
"An Ling, he must go back to his room to rest right now. We'll take him back quickly. ”
"Oh~"
An Ling answered, lowered his head and picked up Old Roy's old body, and walked to the side door of the church.
Sheena glanced at the Statue of Light with a complicated look, then shook her head and followed.
