Chapter 279: The Hand of God
"The number of crossbow arrows is not much, and some are wasted." Lem looked at the woman nailed into a sieve and said, "What a beautiful woman, it's a pity." ”
"There's nothing to be sorry for being able to sacrifice less." Angela walked up to the woman who had died tragically and reached out and pulled out a porcelain vase from under her pillow, "Look at this. ”
Seeing this, the monks couldn't help but have some admiration, who would have thought that the mayor's woman would be a witch?
"That's it, do we really not have a mouth to live?" Lem asked, "I have to find out the news." ”
"Whatever news is needed, the townsfolk will tell us that we are not in the dungeon of the Abbey, and the slightest slack could cost us our lives." Angela said, "Prepare a notice and call a meeting of all the townspeople tomorrow morning." ”
"Write what?" Lem asked.
"Of course the messenger of God has come to calm the darkness." Angela said with a smile.
The next morning, the people suddenly found that all the guards in the town were gone, and the few who were on patrol yesterday did not know where to go to sleep, and when they woke up and saw the terrible situation of the police station, they ran to the mayor's house, and then never came out again.
Then a group of people saw the monks appear in the town, and announced that they were going to the mayor's house for a meeting, and several homeless people took the opportunity to make trouble, but all of them broke their legs and tied them together with ropes.
With the monk's propaganda and announcements, the people began to walk towards the mayor's house, but when they saw the mayor's body hanging there, they fled in fright and watched from a distance.
"Don't run, we are from the Monastery of St. Quina Lena to help you solve your problems, most of you are planting the land of the monastery, you should know us." Angela shouted as she stood in front of the mayor's door.
The crowd hesitated, but soon someone found out that it was really a monk from the monastery, but they didn't know why they came so ruthlessly this time, and directly let the mayor swing.
"Ladies and gentlemen of God, we know that you have been persecuted by heresy, and we have a member of the Order here today to help you solve your problems!" Angela looked at the freedmen below and shouted, "The upper echelons of the town have been bewitched by heresy and become their accomplices, in order to restore the light of the town, and to make your life and life worry-free, I declare that the Abbey will temporarily take over the rule of the town!" ”
"I will recruit men among you to supplement the vigilantes and protect your town, I will set up a court to bring to justice the heretics who have oppressed and persecuted you during this time, I will become the lord of the town, and you can tell me any grievances!" Angela looked at the dazed freedmen below and said, "From today onwards, you can call me Baron Angela." ”
"A small town is a free town, and that's what we say." Someone in the crowd suddenly said.
"We are believers in God, free people, and there shall be no nobles above!" Someone shouted again.
"You're not here to deal with heresy at all, you're here to take advantage of the opportunity to harvest the territory!" Someone on the periphery shouted, "We're against it!" ”
"Against! Oppose! ”
At first, it was just a few people, but the blind obedience of the most people played a role, everyone shouted against it, and some even incited everyone to rush up and beat her, but maybe the freedmen were too weak, or the hanging mayor put too much pressure on them, and no one dared to go up.
"Angela, what are you talking nonsense? Do you want to ruin the reputation of the monastery? Mel on the side saw that so many people below were opposed, and asked dissatisfiedly.
"Yes, we shouldn't do things in a worldly way, we should go to the chapel for everything." Lem also spoke up.
"I just think that this will solve the heresy more thoroughly, and what if the town chooses its own manager, and then it is infiltrated by heretics or heretics?" Angela looked at them and said, "We'll do this at the same time, and besides, my lordship will naturally disappear when the incident subsides or I return to the monastery, just to make it easier to manage." ”
"Look at how you end up, Martin's face is all for you." Lem said, "To be a lord? Three vows, I'm afraid you're going to break two. ”
"Whatever you want, I'm for the Abbey." Angela said indifferently, then picked up a gong and slammed it.
The noisy scene gradually subsided, Angela looked at the freedmen below and said, "This town was formed with the help of the monastery, your ancestors were also tenants who farmed the monastery, and it was called a monastery town outside, it was completely reasonable for me to be the lord, and besides, this is just a stopgap measure, when we deal with the heresy, do you think I, a nun, will still govern the town here?" ”
"Are you sure?" Someone below asked.
"Of course I'm sure, I'm a nun who made three vows, and I ended up consecrating them all to the monastery, do you think I'm going to covet worldly rights? Will the monastery allow me to do this outside? "It's just for ease of management." ”
"If you say that, do we call you a nun or a baron when we come to you?" Someone asked.
"Look for me for worldly matters, and Brother Laskill for matters of faith, he has been appointed as a soul mentor by the prison and is powerful, and he will definitely solve your problems!"
Angela looked at the freedmen below and said, "Please call me Baron Angela reverently, the most vocal monastery tenants will have the opportunity to become guards, you must know that there is enough in the mayor's house to pay your salary, how many guards were before, I will give double!" ”
The free people below heard the words quietly, although the salary is very human, but the heresy is also dangerous, there was a priest called the enemy shield so powerful that they were driven away, and now these people... They fear retaliation after the fact.
For a while, the scene was quiet and awkward.
The freedmen on the side looked at the freedmen below, and saw that their faces were worried, and knew that they had been choked by heresy, and they were already afraid in their hearts, but since they were playing the role of the spiritual mentor of the Monastery of St. Quin's Lina, they would have to play some tricks when necessary.
So he shouted, "Believers! We represent God, and evil will eventually be destroyed, just like that mayor, I swear in the name of the soul master, if God's eyes have been on this, then let this dark-inclined creature be torn to pieces! ”
"Bang!"
As soon as the words fell, he saw an illusory purple arm on the corpse of the mayor of the town, pinching him up.
Looking at the corpse that suddenly exploded, the freedfolk present were startled and instinctively flashed backwards, and before their blank brains could feed back the explanation of what was happening in front of them, they shouted again, "Look! It is a miracle that the hand of God crushes evil! ”
"Oh God! Bless your devout believers! ”
"Pray for God's redemption and forgiveness for my sins in this life."
After a brief moment of stunnedness, a group of freedmen instantly knelt on the ground and began to pray, and even the monks on the side of the Buddha knelt on the ground in shock, and the only ones present who did not kneel on the ground were Masse and Angela.
The latter ignored the blood from above and glared angrily at the freedmen below, "Call me Baron!" ”
