Chapter 14: Gold Coins (Ask for Recommendation Votes)
"Francis, are you interceding for him?" said Ferdinand, "You are a good man, but if Fries commits a crime, he will be punished, this is the code of the Holy Religion, and no one can break it!"
"But, but I've heard that there is a ransom money!" Du Chen timidly said his true purpose!
"Yes, paragraph 13 of the Salvation Book of the Holy Canon Law stipulates that the descendants of the Titled Fighting God can atone for their sins with gold coins in addition to the sins of rebellion and blasphemy, but Frees is not a descendant of the Titled Fighting God!"
Du Chen hurriedly said: "But paragraph 16 also says that if I choose to forgive Fries, he can atone for his sins in other ways!"
Ferdinand smiled and nodded slightly, "You know a lot about the Codex, that's good!Good boy, do you really choose to forgive Fries?"
"Yes!" Du Chen said firmly. At the same time, he began to think in his heart, Fries is the son of the Imperial Chancellor, the Chancellor of the Exchequer!!Can the atonement be less!?
At this time, Fries also saw the hope of survival, and shouted, "I am willing to pay the atonement, as much as I want, my father is the Imperial Minister of Finance!
Poor boy, in a hurry, he told the truth!
"Ferris, if you dare to say such a thing again, I will burn your father at the stake!" Ferdinand was displeased, and glanced at Fries coldly, "Come on, press him down, imprison him, and when the Imperial Banquet is over, go and inform his father!"
Fries was taken down, but he was relieved, no matter what, it was a good thing to be able to save his life.
"Thank you for doing justice to me, respected godfather!" Du Chen bowed and thanked him.
"It is the duty of every fighting god to protect human beings, and it is my duty as the godfather of the diocese of the Lanning Empire, not to mention that you are also a descendant of the Shenghui Fighting God, and our ancestors used to be the closest comrades-in-arms!"
Du Chen didn't understand the specific meaning of this old god's blessing, but thinking that he was the religious leader of the Lanning Empire, then his blessing would definitely have some benefits! Thinking of this, Du Chen bowed respectfully again and said, "Thank you for your blessing, Godfather!"
"If you have paid, you must have gained, you don't have to thank me, this is what you deserve!" Ferdinand took his hand away from Du Chen's forehead, clasped his two hands together, tucked them in his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Recently, many people have told me that you are a kind child who has helped many poor people, and now the people of the South City call you 'the virtue of St. John's City'!"
"Thank you for the compliments, but I think you are more fit for the title, Godfather!"
Ferdinand smiled, not delighted by Du Chen's sycophancy.
"Okay, you can go home, but tomorrow morning you are going to come to me for two things, first, to discuss the amount of the ransom, and second, although the masked fighting god saved you, after all, he stole the Holy Weapon of the Cresson family, and I need your help to track it down!"
"Okay, I'll be here on time!"
Du Chen walked out of the cathedral with a secret smile all the way, the bullshit masked fighting god was nothing at all, and it was completely made up by himself.
At this time, it was already early in the morning, and he accompanied Fries for most of the night, but the income was still good, much faster than the money he stole from. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one on the street, Du Chen put his hand into the crotch of his pants, took out the holy weapon from it, and smiled slightly, "I knew that it was impossible for anyone to let me take off my underwear in the church, alas, it was really safe to hide the stolen goods in the crotch!"
......
When he returned home, Du Chen suddenly found that there were many people gathered in the square in front of the manor, his father Anjies, his second brother Charlie, and many family warriors, and even Steve, who was happy last night.
They were kneeling in front of the statue and praying.
Steve, who was looking around, saw Du Chen first and shouted happily: "Francis, you are finally back! What did you do last night? Come and worship the ancestors!"
Anjes glanced at Du Chen, and said coldly: "Come here, kneel down, and apologize to the ancestors!"
Today is September 13, 1277 in the Meteorite Calendar, it is said that this day is to commemorate more than 1,000 years ago, in a great war related to the survival of human beings, for the gods of human beings who died in battle, every year when the sun rises, human beings have to pray and worship, please rest in peace for the heroic spirits.
Sigru, the ancestor of the St. Cain family, died in this battle, so the gods said that for the St. Cain family, it is not only a festival, but also a great day to worship their ancestors.
Du Chen hurriedly ran over and respectfully knelt behind his father, facing Sigru's statue.
At this time, Charlie said in a cold voice: "Francis, you dare to be late to worship your ancestors, what else dare you not do?"
"Alright, didn't my brother come back on time!" Steve said.
Du Chen squinted at Charlie, his tolerance for this second brother had reached the limit, if it weren't for him last night, Du Chen would not have encountered danger, if Du Chen didn't have the internal strength of the lotus, maybe he would have been indirectly killed by Charlie. "Second brother, the reason why I came back late is because of you!"
"What are you talking nonsense?" said Charlie, angrily.
"Last night, you refused to bring me back, and as a result, Fries ......"
Du Chen told the adaptation again, and then looked at Angels, waiting for his ruling.
Angels looked at his three sons and said lightly, "The sun is rising, worship the ancestors of Sigru first!"
After kneeling three times and bowing nine times, the St. Cain family recited a prayer in unison, the content of which was nothing more than to preach Sigru's exploits, what thousands of years ago, mankind was facing the danger of extinction, at this time, the powerful fighting gods in the human race united to fight against the powerful demons, and Sigru's ancestors died heroically in a battle, and they did not fall.
After reading the prayer, Angels ordered the others to return to the manor, and then said to the three sons who remained, "Charlie did not do the right thing last night!"
Hearing this, Du Chen's heart warmed, although this father was cold, he was still reasonable.
But Angels's next words made Du Chen angry, "Steve, you are also at fault, you shouldn't have taken Francis to the banquet! Francis, try to go out as little as possible in the future, so as not to embarrass the family! Also, Fries will do what he likes, what do you care about that idle business!? Do you know that last night's incident is very likely to make the Ministry of Finance and the High Command go to bad hands, and the military budget of my legions is also very likely to be cut!"
Du Chen stared at Angels fearlessly, and said angrily: "I'm not a politician, I don't care about military spending, finance, and other messy things, I only know that there is nothing wrong with saving people!"
"Do you still dare to talk back?" Angels' eyes flashed, and he slapped Du Chen's face with a "snap".
