Volume I: The End of the Outlaw 113
After breakfast, the archbishop put on the clothes he had worn for the sacrifice, and I looked at his back as he walked in front of me, and I suddenly felt a little worried.
"Your Excellency......" I called out to him. He slowly turned his head. "Wait a minute." I said and turned and ran back to my room.
I changed out of the dog-like clothes as fast as I could, and the bow and arrow under my cloak felt great as I walked.
A smile appeared on the archbishop's face.
Today, I'm ready to fight.
All the active people in the church add up to only about eighty people. Although the body size here feels larger than that of the mainlanders, and the physique feels stronger, this group of believers, priests, and monks looks ...... It just feels like something is missing.
I leaned against the doorframe of the church and listened to the archbishop's eloquent explanation, but I could clearly see in the crowd that some of them could not sit still.
The Archbishop is trying to plant a little seed of Light in the hearts of the few remaining Light cultists. Watching this old man give a hard speech, I couldn't bear it.
Outside the church, the world is calm, the sun is warm, and the breeze is warm. But in this sanctuary, I felt two different feelings. Staring outside the courtyard until the end of the ceremony, nothing happened.
I have experienced the darkness before dawn, the silence before the storm. Or maybe it's tonight......
If nothing else, we'll be out of here tomorrow morning! As for what the woman said...... Thinking of this, I glanced at the archbishop, and then at Tulayan, who was on the side.
The ceremony lasted until mid-afternoon. Fao was sweating profusely. But there aren't many of these Kul Tiras! Is the light really going out......
After settling them, I immediately went out of the palace. That girl didn't really provide me with any useful and valuable information. She had only heard a few fanatics of the god of the sea slandering and cursing at the cultists.
I really didn't find any clues about the thing that really wanted to kill us. And what I can do today is to check the situation in the cabin of the ship that I will be flying on tomorrow. The Ocean Tide is the one we came to ride. In case this group of fanatical religious elements really wants to kill us, there are so many reasons to say that we are in the sea than on land!
On land, the most you will encounter is banditry. But it is always possible to find out who did it, and in this vast sea, the voyage is not a day and a half, and the boat is really lost and sunk in a few days of travel...... No one will ever know the truth again. If we can die in exchange for the greatest benefit, then the cost of this ship will be negligible!
I took 10 people with me to buy things not only for souvenirs, but also to carry them to the cabin myself. In order to create more time for examinations. I deliberately knocked down a row of shelves. The shelves fell down and smashed into the shelves next to them. The whole bottom layer is messed up.
I watched the crew's expressions as I directed the cleanup. Especially when turning over things and sweeping the floor, what is the expression on your face? However, nothing unusual was found.
I've got to bring that damn woman with me tomorrow! Thinking of this, my brain exploded! Am I being tricked?
After turning the bottom of the cabin upside down, I didn't notice anything unusual, and I even asked my men to double-check the bottom of the boat to see if there was anything wrong with it.
It's not necessarily useful, but it's better than nothing! It's basically a sleepless night.
The next day, when the sun was shining on the ground, I was already standing on the pier for the final check. The archbishop came out of the king's fortress under the escort of the guard. When he came, he was greeted, but this morning he left quietly.
Standing under the boat, I watched King Daelin ride on a tall horse, chatting and laughing with the archbishop. But this morning, I saw that the king and the duke named Vikreth were outside, and the two nobles did not appear.
It was at this time that a large group of infidels appeared on the docks.
This is...... Something is going to happen!
Seeing the group of heretics flocking in our direction, I hurriedly grabbed the reins of the archbishop's mount. I looked at Dalin's face, but he had a relaxed look on his face.
I glared at the infidels. Daillin clearly saw the look on my face.
"Ahh Just to see you off...... This is the etiquette peculiar to the people of Kul Tiras! "Is King Dalin exonerating them?
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. The blessings of the Light are enough......" I said.
Fao waved his hand and said; "The Holy Light shines on all things in the world, and it is the most selfless. I think that this kind of tolerance, the Holy Light still exists! Thank you, Your Majesty! ”
I was about to help Fao to board the ship when suddenly a cry erupted from the crowd: "Your Majesty! Please save me! ”
I hurried back, and a man squeezed out of the crowd and pointed at my face and shouted, "Your servant Winnie, he is my wife!" It's gone! I found out she was missing last night! ”
It's that person! It's him! My face twitched.
The man struggled to squeeze out from behind the guards. He pointed at me and shouted, "Catch that guy!" He seduced my wife! Now my wife can't find it! She's missing! ”
Everyone looked at me.
I've seen fierce verbal and written attacks on people who are more casual in their love of fish and water, and I've seen extremely severe punishments for those who break their marital agreement. Of course, there are indeed some righteous men and gentlemen in this group of judges, but I believe that more people are curious and gloating about this matter. After all, watching other people's women being stripped naked is a pastime that can be stimulated without spending money. Seeing an adulterer being beaten is something that can give you great psychological pleasure. Whether it is out of joy or not for moral victory.
Although I have also seen what happened after being bumped into in an affair or being found out later, I can generally guess what the person concerned feels, but today when someone accuses me like this in broad daylight, it really feels like five thunderbolts.
When the man had been violent against the woman named Winnie the night before, I didn't think it was his violent behavior, but his impotent fury as a man. It's not that I want to bully him at all, maybe it's because I'm better than him. And...... What I wanted to get was not the pleasure of the spirit that had done justice for this woman at the time, but more information.
And this situation was something I never expected! I felt a little swollen in my head.
I do have a ...... with his woman Done. If they were really a couple...... But I ...... Didn't know she had a man.
Ha! Is this a self-exculpation? Doesn't the comer refuse to lift his pants and excuse him irresponsibly? No......
I felt the burning gaze around me, and I guessed the thoughts in the eyes of the people around me.
Tilting my head, I looked at the king with a frown.
Dalin sat on his horse, and there was a smile in his eyes when he looked down.
I didn't speak, but looked at the man again. The man was pinned to the ground by the guards. He looked up desperately and looked at the king with blank eyes.
Suddenly, I felt that time had frozen, and the air around me had become a little hot.
"Let him go." Dalin said and waved his hand.
The fellow got up from the ground, hunched over and tilted his head to look at King Dalin.
"Your Majesty, who is he referring to?" I stared at the king's face and said angrily.
Daylin Proudmore was tall in his own right, and his horse was so tall, and he sat on his horse looking down on everyone, and of course me. I realized that the laughter in his eyes was mockery and contempt! He shifted his gaze to the man. "Do you know what you're talking about?" He stared at the man.
"I ...... That one...... My woman's name is Winnie, His Majesty the King. She was...... She...... She had a ...... with this Lordaeron An affair! Now she's gone......"
"You are rude! Do you know what you're talking about? Are you accusing this adult? Dalin turned his face as he spoke, but instead of looking at the archbishop behind me, he stared at me intently.
"I'd love to hear how I got involved with this man's woman." I turned my gaze to the man.
Dalin snorted.
"Your Majesty...... It was last night...... Last night...... She's gone! She hadn't been back to her room since the Lordaerons had arrived! ”
"Who are you?"
"I'm her husband! Winnie, she is a servant of His Majesty! My name is Luke, and I'm also a ...... in the castle Doing handyman work in the castle. ”
Dai Lin frowned, he turned his head to look at the person behind him, who hurriedly leaned his head over, and then whispered something in Dai Lin's ear. When the king came to the face, the expression on his face made me feel not very good, and there seemed to be some disdain in his eyes.
"Go on." His voice was a little muffled.
She was the one who poured the man wine that night...... That's when I felt something wasn't right...... I'm a rough person, but I can't be wrong about her! Later, later she went to the basement...... is in the basement. I found out...... Their...... Behave! That's them! It was the banquet the night before! The night before yesterday! Winnie didn't go back the night before yesterday! She didn't even go back all night last night...... I can't find her! I can't find it now......"
"What else?" The king's tone was a little impatient.
"I'm afraid she's going to betray Your Majesty, betray Kurtilas!" The man suddenly let out such a sentence.
"What are you talking about?" Dai Lin's face seemed even more ugly.
"She may want to defect from Kurtilas! My Majesty! She ...... two nights in a row Not coming back. ”
The king's eye muscles contracted. Then he looked at me, and I always had a special feeling in my heart about this man, he was not like a lion on land, but had the air of a sea troll. It's not the air of a king, but I always feel a kind of salty and wet gloom.
"Your Majesty, if what this man says is true, I am willing to leave my head here." I said it in a loud voice, but in a very firm tone.
The king glanced at me and turned his face away. "Where's your evidence?" There was obvious displeasure in his tone.
"I ...... I saw it. ”
"When."
"It was the night before yesterday...... ...... of the banquet," he said.
"How did you find out?"
"The day after they came, the ...... That's the Lordaren ...... seduced her at the banquet...... Well, she didn't go back to her room to sleep that night...... The day before yesterday, it was the banquet the day before yesterday, and I saw her ...... with him again They cheat in the basement! I saw them coming out of the basement one after the other! I saw it with my own eyes. The man was incoherent.
"How do you know she didn't go back to her room to sleep...... What about going to this adult?"
"I ...... I...... She's my woman...... Your Majesty! He saw that Dai Lin had been watching him, and he hurriedly said! Winnie! Your Majesty, her name is Winnie! Lordaeron! You know her! You know! He snarled at me again.
The king's face sank. He turned his face. "Mr. Bill...... How do you explain that? I'd like to hear your explanation. ”
His words made my heart tighten.
How do I explain it?
