A sharp wind and the sound of a fleshy whip interrupted Philip's shelf, and the priest in front of him swung a leather whip wrapped in iron thorns and whipped Philip on his body, scolding: "What a stubborn heretic, locked in the cross and still so wicked, that he dares to speak disrespectfully to Lord Yog!" Philip screamed and fainted. 【Reading.com】

Jorge frowned: "Heresy should not pollute our ears, our souls should not be shaken by this, my words are not finished yet." ...... Master Fortimore, can you let the others out? ”

Fotimore waved his hand: "Everyone out!"

Everyone left the redemption room, and Fortimore paid attention to Yog's expression, but Yog was expressionless, he looked at Philip who was unconscious again and said, "Dear Lord St. Fortimore, do you know that I killed a necromancer named Joshev in Zhixu?"

Fortimore: "Congratulations and admiration!"

Jorge: "Actually, I should have brought Joshef here and interrogated him like Philip, but I had to kill him." ”

Futimo's face did not change: "The killing is right, the necromancer is dangerous!"

Yog: "I know that he knows the dark arts, but he doesn't necessarily belong to the side of the dark Ones, but I had to kill him because what he said affected the reputation of the Holy See and Lord Fotimore. ...... At this time, we need to uphold the Holy See and the glory of God, and I think that Master Fortimore must be as loyal and devout as I am. ”

Fortimore didn't ask what Joshef had said, but said lightly: "Thank you, Yog, it seems that His Majesty the Pope is not wrong, you are indeed the best leader and heir of the Holy See." ”

Yog: "The Archmaster has the honor of being present today because you are the invincible St. Fortimore. Countless knights have followed and worshipped you, not only as you, but as a symbol of God's glory in their hearts, and from which your power derives and nothing else. ”

Fortimore: "Thank you for your compliments,+ >. ”

Yog smiled: "Then I can rest assured, if so, you will always be worthy of my respect and dependence." ...... What are you going to do with Philip, my lord?"

Fortimore: "Whether or not we can find clues to the dark forces. Philip must be put to death. ”

Yog sighed, "He is indeed guilty. ”

Fortimore: "Actually, we know in our hearts that it has always been common for magicians to withhold materials to support their own livelihood, but Philip's crime has been made public, so he must be held responsible, and since he has taken this responsibility, then he will bear all the responsibility." ”

Yog: "And what about Helen, it's a pity for such a beautiful girl. ”

Fortimore: "Maybe she's innocent, maybe she really doesn't know anything. But she is a priest of the Holy See, the daughter of Philip, and she has no way to guarantee her innocence in this matter, even if you and I have to make sacrifices. ...... Zhixu's White Lotus real Lei Feng, Helen still refuses to draw his portrait, and begs us to let her father go, she is so naïve!"

Yog: "Even if she paints a portrait, I wonder who she can protect?"

Fortimore: "Whoever she wants to protect at least means that she openly has reservations about God." It's stupid at a time like this. In secular courts, if someone refuses to swear by the Bible, it is tantamount to confessing his guilt before a jury. Maybe we can punish her gently and bloodlessly, and I regret that too. ”

Jorge: "Burn at the stake?" Your Excellency is truly merciful and firm...... What if she could not be put to death? Can I persuade her? The maiden may not dare to speak in fear when she sees the majesty of the adults. ”

Fortimore: "If Lord Yogg wishes to spare her life, I can leave her to you, but you also know the rules of the Holy See. She will be stripped of all miraculous powers, tattooed with a red mark on her body, and will never be blessed or forgiven. ”

Yog: "Then you might as well die." ”

Fortimore looked at Yog with a smile: "If the adults like her beauty and don't care about the shameful marks on her body, you can keep her, I can guarantee that this is a secret." Be careful, though, she will always be full of hatred for the Holy See and won't have to stay long. ”

Jorge smiled noncommittally, pointed at Philip and said, "Wake him up, I have something to ask him from the beginning." Just in front of you. ”

Fortimore: "Can't you wake him up?"

Yog: "Don't you know I'm hurt? I still can't summon miracles." ”

With a flick of his fingers, a white light fell on Philip, much better than pouring cold water, and Philip let out a groan and opened his eyes. Jorge asked in a gentle voice, "Mr. Goelin, I have read all your confessions, but I would like to question you again from the beginning, to give you a chance to tell all the truth, without anyone threatening you and no one interrupting you." But it is also not recorded. ...... Now I'm asking, why are you participating in black market trading?"

Philip looked at Yog. There was a layer of light in his dead gray eyes: "My lord, is this my last word?"

Yog sighed in his heart, his face still soft as water: "This is your chance to open your heart to God when you go to the gates of hell, just say it." ”

Fotimore's face was slightly gloomy, and he was very reluctant to let Philip speak like this, but Yog had already arranged everything, and took everyone away in front of Fotimore alone, showing full trust and honesty. On the one hand, this is a gesture of favor to Fotimore, and on the other hand, it is also a reminder of what Fotimore does. And Philip really opened his mouth to tell it, and here is his confession -

I have been a magician of the Holy See since I was sixteen years old, and my life was hard, but my devout faith filled my heart with happiness. Later, when I got married and had children, I had to feed my family and not want them to live a harder life than my neighbors, so I repaired some of the materials that were worn out and could no longer be used to process high-end utensils, and sold them on the black market. I am very good at my craft, and I am able to make the most of this waste and use it to support my family.

High up and down, you may know where the lowest magicians are

In fact, that kind of behavior was also acquiesced in by the Holy See. This is the subsidy and reward for magic work. Because of my good skills, I was later reused by the chief priest and promoted to the head of the magic craftsman, and my life was much better than before, but the greedy devil once again occupied my heart, and I needed more money.

My daughter Helen, she is as beautiful and pure as an angel, I can't let her live my childhood again, I want her to get the best education possible. Let her learn her favorite gardening. The Holy Elders saw her potential among the faithful, and she had the opportunity to attend the highest seminary of the Campydes, where God's education was free but the secular conditions for receiving such education were expensive. I couldn't afford it, but I didn't want her to know that his father couldn't afford it, or she would have given up, and those were her ideals.

So I organized the distribution of the materials under my management, and personally trained my magicians, passing on my magic skills to them. Reduce the regular loss, and all the loss that is reduced is intercepted by me. I became one of the largest suppliers of the black market, and with the help of the Holy See, I became a successful merchant in the world, with more and more wealth.

Later, I realized that I had fallen, and that the goods I provided to the Black Market were no longer just supplies provided by the Holy See, but also purchased materials through the Black Market and sold them privately, just like the Mithril you took out. This has gone beyond the limits of the Holy See's benevolent tolerance, and has also met the needs of my life. However, I've come this far until you guys catch me. I can't guarantee the flow of the goods I sell, and there are also high-quality magical artifacts that the Holy See strictly restricts, maybe they really may fall into the hands of the dark Ones, please forgive me for my sins!

Everything I do. It has nothing to do with my artisans, they have nothing to do with the Holy See. I will not name anyone I deal with, and although I have devilish desires in my heart, they are not the same sinners. As for my daughter, Helen, she had no idea, and she had always regarded me as a loving, upright, and successful father. Before God, I told all the truth, and I didn't want to justify myself, and I knew I couldn't get out of here, so forgive Helen. Merciful God, she is sinless!

When Philip had finished speaking, he hung on the cross and lay dying. Yogg sighed secretly, he knew that Philip's current physical condition was not only a blur of flesh and blood on the surface, someone had done all kinds of magical damage to his body, but he was temporarily kept acutely by a strange means, making him feel more pain of execution, so that he could be better interrogated.

Whether it's for Wu Tong or Xiaobai's face, or for other reasons. Yog still wanted to save Philip's life, but it was too late for him to return to the Holy See. Regardless of what the person has done, it should be judged. However, he was tough enough that he did not confess any of his so-called accomplices, and of course he did not confess Wu Tonglai.

At this time, I heard Fortimo say in a calm voice: "Maybe I can leave Helen alive, but you'd better help us persuade her, in Zhixu Country, she claimed that there was once a person named White Lotus Zhenren Lei Feng who saved her, and it was very suspicious that she had been missing for three days, but she didn't want to draw a portrait of that person until now." ...... I think that Lord Jorge was also very concerned about these things, because Zhixu could not find that person at all, and Helen told him a lot of secrets of the Holy See. ”

Philip raised his hanging head vigorously: "Helen will not lie to the Holy See, that person must exist, the world is so big that you can't find everyone." ...... Fortimore, Helen was in distress when she followed you to Zhixu, you couldn't save her, but someone saved her, Helen should be grateful to that person. She doesn't know your purpose, so she doesn't want to paint his portrait, so why do you have to find that man? Fortimore, it was that man who atonerated your mistakes, and that is not evidence of Helen's guilt...... I'm not going to persuade Helen, I'm going to curse you!"

Philip's tone changed suddenly, calling Fortimore by name, and cursing him with a fierce gaze. This made Fortimore very uncomfortable, but it was inconvenient to lose his temper in front of Yog, so he could only say coldly: "You were still begging the Holy See to forgive your daughter just now, but you were unwilling to persuade her to tell her what the Holy See wanted to know, is this your attitude of atonement? You are indeed a stubborn heretic!"

Philip: "Fortimore, after these few days of interrogation, do you really think that I will believe that my prayer will let you let Helen go? I am praying to God that God can hear my voice and see the two adults in front of me!"

Perhaps only in the ears of a high-ranking cultist could he hear the serious meaning of Philip's words, and the muscles on Fortimore's face involuntarily twitched slightly. Jorge stood up and walked out, saying as he went, "Lord Fotimore, I don't think there's anything to ask about anymore, and I think he should be executed publicly...... I'll ask Helen again. ”

At this moment, someone outside the door reported: "Lord Yog, Archbishop Zhixu has sent an urgent report, Bai Shaoliu, the acting head of the Hainan faction, will arrive in Cambydes tomorrow and personally present a gift of thanks to your lordship." ...... His Holiness the Pope takes it very seriously and orders a solemn reception, and asks you to consult with Cardinal Cardinal at once. ”

Yoge said in his heart: "It's good or bad to come, this stunned boy must have heard the wind and wanted to save people, how can it be so easy, even if I have the cultivation of the year, I am not sure that one person will take the Gelin father and daughter out of here safely, Xiaobai, what do you want to do?"

......

On the order of Bai Shaoliu, he sent the Xuanming Scepter from Hainan Qiongya, and at the same time, he also brought fifteen elite disciples of the Hainan Sect to enrich the power of Zahuai Mountain Villa. Bai Shaoliu wrote a secret letter to Mei Yeshi, the leader of the Kunlun Alliance, and ordered Xiangyin to take two masters to Shui Zhiwei Building immediately and hand it over to Chen Yan, asking her to transfer it to Mei Yeshi. It was too late to meet Mei Yeshi, and Xiao Bai told Mei Meng Master a lot of things in the secret letter, except for Yoge's current identity - this point must be discussed in person. And then he came out
