Chapter 173: Heresy (Subscription Requested!! )
Horse-drawn carriages carrying large and small suitcases sailed through the night towards the harbor.
Unia leaned on the glass and looked at the church at 99 Kerr Strasse, where Mrs. Cecil and Qasim stood in the doorway, watching them leave.
It wasn't until the carriage turned around the corner and she could no longer see that she withdrew her gaze, hugged the bear puppet tightly, and kept her head down and refused to say anything.
It was a place of home for her, having lived here from the moment she was born conscious, and she had never left Wexfordshire, limiting her knowledge of the outside world to hearsay.
Mavi rubbed her hair and said, "The Romanov Kingdom has a beautiful landscape, the people who live there are just as friendly, and there are delicious pastries. ”
"I... I can't bear Mrs. Cecil's them...", said Yunia with a pout, "I'm afraid there won't be so much to eat when I go out...."
"Oh, if you're worried about whether the food is delicious or not, you can rest easy."
Ma Wei spread his hands: "I am afraid that there is no kingdom in this world whose food is more unpalatable than the Windsor Kingdom, I am sure." ”
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, after going to the Romanov Kingdom, you will definitely open the door to a new world."
"Is their food even better than what you made, Dad?"
"Hmm... Each has its own merits. ”
Ma Wei gave a pertinent answer.
As he spoke, there was a clanging sound of glass bottles colliding overhead, and Ma Wei looked up at the roof of the car in confusion, he remembered that there was no fragile item such as glass bottles in the trunk, and it was definitely not what he brought into the car.
And among the members who went to the Romanov kingdom this time, the only one who was likely to carry a glass bottle ....
Ma Wei looked at the communication sitting across from him and frowned: "Did you bring that box of inferior brandy?" ”
"Ah, yes!" Lai Wen said confidently: "I bought it for 15 shillings, I can't waste it!" ”
“.......”
Dino on the side looked sideways again and again, and it seemed that Wen's eyes were wrong.
He remembered the brandy he had purchased vividly, and it was not really a wine, but a liquid blended with some kind of high alcohol, and it was a question of whether it had been fermented in oak barrels.
The price is also so cheap that it couldn't be cheaper, 1 shilling can buy 1 gallon, about 4.5 liters, you know, even the cheap mead sold in the tavern costs 3p a glass!
Only an absolute drunkard would choose such a cheap and inferior brandy ....
"You'd better throw it away." Dino said: "I'll give you a box of cognac from Château Grote in the Inland region. ”
The communication's eyes lit up and he was full of gratitude, but he never mentioned the loss of cheap brandy.
Obviously, he also wanted to keep it for himself.
The tension in the carriage eased slightly, and everyone began to talk without a word, a four-wheeled carriage could only hold four people, and with children it could be increased to five, with Mavi, Yunia, Communication, Dino, Edward, and Fat Orange Blackie sharing one, and Katerina and her personal maid riding in another car, following them.
The two carriages drove through the streets and alleys until they reached the port, and they were not met with any ambush or attack.
Ma Wei and the others were not surprised by this, many of the people living in the city were believers in the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny, once the fight started, it would be difficult not to cause accidental injury, even if there was an immortal realm, it was still difficult to avoid damage to the house.
Instead of ambushing in a narrow neighborhood, opt for the more spacious and convenient banks of the Barrow River, with direct access to the sea.
At nightfall, the wharf was still bustling with activity, and the fishermen and workers were putting the finishing touches on the fishing boats, tying them firmly to the iron piers of the wharf, and then putting away their tools, carrying kerosene lamps, and going to the tavern in droves to treat themselves.
At Pier 1, a huge steam freighter docked on the shore, with a huge chimney as wide as the front of a car, was emitting puffs of black smoke.
The warm-up was completed, Mavi and the others got out of the carriage and, with the help of the sailors of the Romanov Kingdom, carried the last luggage onto the ship, however...
Just as they were about to board the ship, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded behind them.
"It's coming...."Ma Wei looked at Katerina, who was wearing a black velvet hood, "Your Highness, please get on the boat with Dino first." ”
tomato
"I can take care of your daughter." Katerina said: "If something happens to you, I will raise her to adulthood." ”
"Thank you, but... No. ”
Hearing this, Katerina didn't say much, and took her personal maid on the boat.
The next battle is not something that ordinary people can interfere in, and if she stays, it will only add trouble.
The sound of horses' hooves drew nearer, and Mavi turned to look at the Black-Armored Knights in front of him, his gaze lingering on Albert for a moment, and then moving to Bishop Fowler next to him and the carriage behind him.
Through the glass, you can vaguely see several figures sitting inside.
If nothing else...
Inside there should be Yin Flin and the saints of the other parishes.
The fishermen and workers, who had not yet had time to leave, noticed the situation here, quickly quickened their speed, and left as if they had fled.
There was no one to stop them, and Bishop Fowler let them go, which he wanted to see.
The more people...
The more likely it is to have accidents.
When only the two of them were left on the dock, Bishop Fowler slowly took out a roll of parchment and read aloud: "Mavi Enders, you forged documents to interrogate death row prisoners, were suspected of smuggling valuables, murdered Father Satuk, bewitched civilians with false teachings, illegally obtained wealth, secretly communicated with the Grand Duke of the enemy country during the war, and now you are preparing to flee to the Romanov Kingdom by treason, a total of 17 articles of the kingdom's laws!" ”
"According to the law of ecclesiastical judgment, I condemn you to heresy, and you... Is there anything you'd like to say? ”
Heterodox!
Regardless of the kingdom law mentioned above, this one crime alone is enough to kill Mavi!
Bishop Fowler, who was afraid that the accusation of heresy would not be enough to convince the public, also 'intimately' labeled Mavi with treason, which is conclusive and conclusive given that Archduke Katerina was on the steam freighter behind.
Bishop Fowler...
Come prepared.
The previous forbearance and anger were all turned into the verdict of the trial of Ma Wei.
"It's really heart-wrenching...."
Ma Wei shook his head with a smile: "I can't imagine that I have violated so many laws, I'm afraid even hanging is not enough to punish me... How did you know I was leaving tonight? ”
Play... And keep singing.
Bishop Fowler narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to know, given the contributions you have made to the kingdom, I don't want to use force, surrender." ”
"Do you not want to, or don't you dare?" Mavi took Yunia's small hand, and the strength poured into her body, and the horses seemed to sense the danger, and anxiously slashed their hooves, showing signs of retreating.
Seeing this scene, Bishop Fowler Tong Kong shrank slightly, and Ma Wei said slowly: "You are scared... Bishop Fowler. ”
"Albert, do it!"
Bishop Fowler waved his arm and ordered:
"None of them will be left!"
