Chapter Twenty-Four: Lying
However, the words of the end of the tea touched the nerves of others.
The puppets of the "gods", in a sense, they are no different.
The "Lord" can take over their bodies at any time, and naturally they can also decide their life and death, and all the people in the entire "Journey to the Underworld" are pawns of the "Lord".
And, looking back, it seems that there is such a ritual to become a follower of the "Lord...... It's quite similar to the evil god rituals that they do.
But then again, this also proves that the "Lord" is indeed a first-order existence of the gods, and it can be regarded as the coexistence of good news and bad news.
Anyway, the "Lord" led them from the dark and closed underground to the surface step by step, and it was even possible to go to the wider sky.
Regardless of whether he is a "god" or not, as long as he can give them a better life, the "journey to the underworld" will unswervingly follow him.
These logics can be smoothed out very easily, and it didn't take long for Fran and the others to recover from the silence just now, relax and continue to embark on the road to the "Flame" City.
As they walked along the dusty road, the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind them, and everyone walked to the side of the road to avoid it.
On the road, a group of knights in thick armor galloped over on tall horses.
Their armor glittered in the light of the sky, and the red flame insignia on their bodies shone brightly.
The carriage surrounded by them was even more magnificent, and the various gold ornaments on the carriage made people's eyes hurt.
Animal husbandry in the Hobruns Kingdom was not well developed, and horses were still rare in administrative units at the village and town level.
The "caravan" had only seen a single horseman on the road at most, and it was the first time that a whole cavalry team like this had been seen.
The "caravan" leaned against the side of the road and let the team pass, but the knights stopped in front of them.
A heavily armed knight drove to the carriage and paused, and then came to the crowd.
He held the riding gun in his hand, looked at everyone with a serious expression, and then asked, "Who are you?" Where did it come from? ”
Hearing his inquiry, everyone was a little speechless, and the people of this world seem to like to ask this question, no matter who it is, it is: "Who are you, where do you come ......from?"
Daniel was about to speak, but Fran rushed ahead of him and said, "We have fled from the town of Winkel, where there is a famine, and we have not eaten for three days. ”
The famine in Winkel Town was something they had heard in the pub before, and it came in handy now.
The knight looked at the various rags they had wrapped around him, seemed to believe Fran's words, and turned back to the carriage to reply to the people inside.
Soon, a hand reached out in the car and handed the knight a bag of food and water.
The knight handed the bag to Fran and the others, "Where are you going now?" ”
Fran politely took the bag: "We want to go to the city of 'Flames', I heard that there is a relief station set up by the Holy See. ”
The knight nodded: "That's right, the Holy See has indeed set up a relief station outside the 'Flame' City, but this is still five days away from the 'Flame' City, can you hold out there?" ”
Fran looked at the bag in her hand, nodded and said, "Thank you for your generosity, with this food and water, we will definitely be able to reach the 'Flame' City." ”
The knight turned his horse's head and was about to return to his team, when he heard a coquettish voice: "They are lying!" ”
I saw a red figure emerge from the carriage, it was Cardinal April.
There was a hint of anger on her face, and the other knights immediately gathered and gathered them in the middle, their shiny spears pointed at them.
In the face of their spears, the five were not afraid at all, and Fran's expression became serious: "What does this mean?" ”
April smiled coldly: "People who have been hungry for three days are still in the mood to be polite here with food and water, shouldn't you gobble it up immediately?" ”
"I think you're the caravan that came from Lord Cathras's chassis, and you brought down the abandoned temple, right?"
Fran laughed and said, "I thought it was something, but it was because of this little thing." ”
"That's right, we're the caravan you said, and we collapsed the abandoned temple, and there's an evil god enshrined there, so we cleaned it up."
"Sure enough, it's you......" Aprill said through gritted teeth, "you! Immediately lay down all your weapons, strip all your clothes, and get checked! ”
Everyone felt a little inexplicable, and the first one at the end of the tea shouted: "Why? Who are you? Dare to make a big fuss here? ”
April glanced at her: "I am the thirteenth Cardinal of the Vulcan Holy See, April, and now in the name of the Holy See, I ask you to carry out my orders!" ”
The end of the tea is not used to her: "Vulcan Holy See? We are not your followers, so why should we listen to your commands? ”
I don't know at the end of the tea, but her words add fuel to the fire.
Aprile had decided that they had used the power of the god of fire to burn down the abandoned temple, and now they did not admit that they were cultists of the god of fire.
This is proper heresy.
"Kill the heretics! Execute it now! At April's command, all the knights stabbed their spears out at the same time, intending to poke all five people in front of them into a sieve.
However, what happened in the next second was far beyond the imagination of these knights.
Daniel was the first to move, and he held the handle in his hand, and a pale blue translucent light shield appeared in his hand.
Daniel raised the Force Field Shield and swept it around, and all the knight's spears that poked at them were instantly shattered.
The wind brought up by the shield even fanned several knights in front of him from their horses.
The rest of the knights had never seen such a scene, but they were fairly well trained, and immediately threw away the broken knight's spear and hurried to draw the long sword from his waist.
Aprilier in the back shook her cloak, the holy book in her hand had been opened, and she was about to control the holy fire when a cold feeling suddenly came from her neck.
"Little girl, I don't care what kind of cardinal and green you are, you better listen to me obediently now, otherwise the end will be miserable."
A lazy voice came from behind her, and the tea powder, which had been surrounded by the spears just now, had come behind April.
The tips of her nails had pierced April's skin, and a little deeper was the carotid artery in April's neck.
Aprill gritted his teeth and asked, "Who the hell are you?!" ”
