Chapter 192: The wicked still have to be grinded by the wicked
"Mr. Hudson, I don't think you want your wife to know that you have an illegitimate child outside, do you?"
In the back hall of the Cathedral of the Steam Capital, Father Thomas is sitting in a chair, and beside him is a richly dressed class.
He was what Thomas called Mr. Hudson.
At this moment, his face was very ugly and a little gloomy.
"What do you want?"
"A tenth of your possessions." Thomas said, "I guess that's nothing compared to your family's happiness, right?" ”
"How do I know that after giving you this, you won't continue to gain an inch?" Hudson said.
Thomas shrugged, "I can't seem to guarantee it. ”
Hudson's face became even more gloomy, and he thought for a moment, exhaling a cloudy airway.
"I can promise you, but if you continue to push the inch, I'll make you pay!"
He got up from his seat and looked at Thomas with suppressed anger in his heart.
"You have no fear of God."
"Who will speak the truth to God?" Thomas scoffed.
Hudson stood up and slammed the door away.
Thomas didn't care, but looked at another man beside him in religious attire.
"Who's next, Sheber?"
"Next up is Lady Melina." The man named Sheber spoke.
He had a small notebook in his hand, which contained secrets that many in the vapor capital had to hide.
These secrets were told to him by these people in the confessional room, and they were recorded by him.
It is a ritual among the faithful in which the faithful confess their sins to the legitimate clergy, repent and change their sins, and receive the forgiveness of their sins after being baptized from God.
It seems like a holy and beautiful thing, but after all, it is human beings who carry out these things, and it is not God who listens to them to confess their sins.
So in fact, in the Middle Ages in Europe, there were many things that the clergy used to deceive and threaten through this confession ceremony.
"Sir." Xie Bo couldn't help but say, "In such a hurry, will something really happen?" ”
"Even if something happens, it will be before King Arthur liquidates us." Thomas closed his eyes.
"The Order's side is still re-selecting who is the sect leader, and I guess we don't have time to care about things on our side.
Prince Victor's calculations against the Emperor not so long ago were unsuccessful.
He will not rest on his laurels, and reckoning will come soon.
We need to hurry up and get some benefits, and then hurry back to Europe, otherwise we won't be able to escape. ”
Speaking of this, Thomas slammed the table in a somewhat irritated mood.
"What a waste, all the arrangements of the Order in the south for so many years have become meaningless!"
"That's also Prince Victor's business, and you're only an accomplice at best, and if he doesn't say it, who knows that the woman was hypnotized by you."
"It's not just that." Thomas said in a deep voice.
"What do you mean. Witch? Xie Bo said.
Thomas nodded.
"Isn't that easy?" Xie Bo said disapprerovingly, "There are so many people involved in this matter, can he still arrest all of us?"
At most, the people who made false accusations and the judges who did not follow the procedure were sentenced, and we will find a few clergy who are more active in this matter to confess.
We have so many secrets of the nobles and squires that it's easy for them to speak for us.
The war in the Western Empire is not over yet, and it is obviously impossible for that emperor to cause chaos in the south, right?
What's more, if you take 10,000 steps back, it's just a few untouchables who die, is it really that important for this kind of existence? ”
"But he threw away his sword in stone for the sake of a woman."
"You don't really believe the sword in the stone that he discarded to atone for his sins, do you?"
Thomas was silent for a moment, "But there's no guarantee that he won't, what if he misses the opportunity to escape?" ”
Xie Bo thought for a moment and said, "In the past, the mission given to us by the Order was to support Prince Victor.
But now that the Order is too busy to take care of itself, even if we go back, it may not be much better than it is now.
Not as good as"
He looked up, "How about we give the evidence of Prince Victor's guilt to that emperor?" ”
Thomas opened his eyes slightly, this was clearly a path he had never thought of.
But when you think about it, it still seems feasible.
"I think the emperor should like our gift very much." "What is the sin of burning a few untouchables compared to settling this troublesome prince?"
What's more, it's not all our business? ”
To be precise, it's not a few, and in the past three years, the women who have been burned to death by the convicted witch should be counted in thousands.
It's only been three years, and if Arthur hadn't come, the fire might have burned brighter and brighter.
In another world, the witch hunt in Europe, where at least hundreds of thousands of women died, is a horrific number.
At this moment, a voice came from one side.
"For you, can the untouchables be persecuted and tortured to death by your cruelty at will?"
"What if it weren't?" Sheber apparently did not realize that the voice did not come from Thomas, and he said disdainfully, "A group of things that can give birth as much as they die, and whether they exist or not is of no help to the country, and what difference is there between the living and the dead?" ”
However, as he finished speaking, he realized that the voice was unfamiliar.
He turned his head sharply, and saw two teenagers of thirteen or fourteen standing behind him at some point.
"Drill the heart and cut the bones!"
With this shout of rage, a magical glow rushed from Gaeward's wand to Shebber.
At that moment, a soul-tearing pain surged over like a tidal wave.
Sheber's face quickly turned hideous and bloodshot, and he writhed and writhed on the ground with painful convulsions.
He felt like his bones were shattered all over his body, then healed quickly, and repeated, and so on.
The two teenagers were Gayward and Ebs, who had disappeared during the game.
Instead of getting lost, Ebs and Gayward flew into a surveillance corner, and left the place using a shapeshifter, heading straight for here.
Magic is not allowed inside the castle, especially apparitions, and students are not allowed to run around while studying.
The only time they can leave school is probably during the summer holidays.
However, in order to avoid the exposure of the magical world, there are still many restrictions on the use of magic in schools, which will be lifted when they reach adulthood.
But apparently, Gaiward couldn't wait that long.
At the same time, they also learned that King Arthur had traveled to the south of Britannia.
Gayward would not allow his enemies to die at the hands of others.
So, it's best to leave in a race.
Because of the detachment from Sky Island, you can also use apparition.
The magic detection device will not be turned on at this time, and they have the best alibi.
As long as you teleport back in a short period of time, there won't be any major problems.
Not only the two of them are involved in this project, but the victims of the other witch hunts in the school and some of the rest of the contestants will also help them cover up.
Arthur's character is indeed too serious and follows justice, so the chain of evidence needs to be complete.
But when those people persecuted those innocent women, they never spoke of justice.
So it's also as Char said before.
The wicked have to be grinded by the wicked
For example, this Geward who started the Unforgivable Curse
