Chapter 572: Greetings from Far Away (Big Chapter, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

The morning sun rises again, spreading its orange-red glow onto the earth.

In the Divine Codex, the priesthood sings the praises of the rising sun countless times, that light is the greatest gift of God the Father, the first thing God created in shaping the world.

The church's morning prayer always begins when the first rays of sunlight shine into the atrium, and the sound of chanting, accompanied by the "bell" above the head, wakes up from its slumber with the city to welcome the new day.

It's just that today, outside the city of Naidle, the early pedestrians did not hear the paid clear bell.

Some are just the neat boots of soldiers in uniforms and with sharp blades in their hands.

The solemn soldiers patrolled the long street in a neat line, and at every intersection there were barricades set up by the city guards, and among the red uniforms of the city guards, you could faintly see the black leather jackets unique to the SS.

The citizens walked cautiously down the streets, inquiring about life, and in the quiet atmosphere of Nedle, an ominous pressure was slowly brewing.

Suddenly, on the calm road, someone shouted with all his might: "Oh my God, it's amazing, go see the port"

"Let's go see the port...... It's a big deal. ”

The people in the city stirred, breaking the pent-up calm and asking loudly, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"Go to the port, go to the port. ”

In the midst of this shout, the people threw down their belongings, closed their shops, and crowded towards Nedel's harbor.

And at this moment, after a night of sailing, the passenger ship that slowly sailed into the port of Niddle in the morning light, and the passengers, who had been rocking on the sea all night, were suddenly awakened by a piercing scream.

The passengers in the cabin thought that a disaster had happened, and they hurried to the deck without even putting on their shoes, only to see the passengers and sailors on the deck huddled on one side of the ship, staring blankly at the shore.

The newcomers followed their gaze and were instantly stunned by the scene in their eyes.

On the mound that could be seen from the port, nearly a hundred tall crosses were erected.

They lined up densely along the river, as if they were welcoming ships into port.

Each cross plus all nails a person.

Their hands and feet were nailed with thick iron nails, and they wailed and screamed incessantly under the scorching sun.

The wails of those gathered together like the desperate and helpless cries of the spirits of the dead beneath the tower of the dead in the abyss of hell.

Bitter and mournful, eerie and terrifying

Everyone who passed by the port was like falling into an ice cave, and they couldn't help but tremble.

Blood flowed down the cross, forming a palpitating dark red on the stake.

The harbor was also crowded with a crowd of people, with a low and ominous humming sound, and tens of thousands of pairs of eyes staring at the mound.

At the same time, there were dozens of priests and priests next to those crosses.

Despite their repeated refusals, even bending over and pleading, the iron-man SS soldiers with cold expressions held their bayonets to their chests and stared at the priests with cold, emotionless eyes.

The priests were compelled to cast holy magic on those who were still alive on the cross, struggling and wailing, to heal their wounds, to live as long as possible, so that they could continue to endure the untold torment and suffering.

This torture is brutal.

People who see this scene for the first time feel as if they are suddenly being grasped by the devil, their heartbeat seems to stop, the blood in their brains seems to flow in an instant, and they only feel their scalp numb and shiver involuntarily.

Reputedly...... It is said that this kind of torture was only acceptable to Prometheus, the fire thief who had violated the will of Zeus, and the gods who had committed heinous sins.

On a passenger ship at the front, the navigator climbed from the boat onto the passenger ship, and the old captain with dark and chapped skin pulled the navigator and asked in a low voice: "Is this ...... What's going on here?"

The navigator glanced at the cross on the mound with fearful eyes, then quickly turned his head and said in a dry voice, "These guys are all from Vantino, and they assassinated the Governor of Lorraine, His Highness Leo, Cardinal Sylmelia, and the Cardinal of Obakhem and the Archmage of Lester yesterday. ”

The old captain gasped and exclaimed, "Is the Vatino crazy?"

The navigator shook his head with a sad face, and said dryly: "Of course they are crazy, but fortunately, their assassination attempt was unsuccessful, this good day is only a few days after his **, I heard that Lord Lorraine has mobilized the whole army and wants to fight a decisive battle with the Vatino." ”

The news quickly spread to the passengers on the ship, and these ordinary people could only sigh at the audacity of the Vatino and Lorraine's ruthlessness on the other.

The punishment of crucifixion, which appeared only thousands of years ago and was used by the gods to punish their enemies, is now recreated by Lorraine against any enemy who dares to challenge him.

On that day, one hundred and twenty men, from the Cardinal Archbishop of the Holy See and the most famous fanatic of the Draquin, including his men and hidden receivers, were crucified on these forest-like crosses

Although many of them were dealt with before they were nailed. But under the strict orders of Lord Lorraine, without exception, even the dead bodies were all nailed to those crosses, exposed to the scorching sun and the onlookers of the people.

With this iron-blooded method, Lorraine announced to the world the fate of all those who dared to blow up his burrs

When people saw the names of the people written under the crosses, the whole world was terrified

Never before has a cardinal been subjected to such a criminal punishment and died such a dishonorable death.

Not to mention, in addition to him, there is also a cardinal within the Holy See, a magistrate of the Inquisition, and nearly a hundred Holy See paladins.

Even if this horrific torture was not to be brought, the mere stripping of them was a shocking event.

This means that Lorraine has trampled the authority of the Holy See under his feet, and pulled the Holy See, which has been above the continent for thousands of years, sitting on the throne of the spirit, from the high clouds, and then stepping heavily into the mud.

It would be an irreparable stain on the Holy See, and a stain that would have to be cleansed with blood, either their own or Lorraine's.

Lorraine treated them in such an iron-blooded way, which meant that he would not hesitate to declare war on certain people in the Holy See. And it's not going to die

The governor of an empire, since his debut, has been invincible, invincible, and the famous flying eagle god of war, and behind him is the first family of the future Ruman Empire, the first magician in the world, a mysterious army with artillery, and a mysterious army with a fighting spirit that sees death as home, and a group of black-clothed spies who are like ghosts.

On the other side is the Holy See, which has hundreds of millions of believers, a long history, countless knightly priests, the largest organization on the continent, and 90% of the intellectual elite in the entire human world.

Once the two sides go to war, regardless of how tragic the war will be, just imagining the bloody storm that will arise in the midst of it will be enough to make the continent tremble.

And Lorraine's cruel means can only be regarded as just the right time.

It's like the devils of the United States were exchanged for the twin buildings back then. Although they are extremely powerful, they have what is claimed to be the most powerful intelligence system in the world, and they play hooligans in the world all day long, bullying this and bullying that. But Brother Deng secretly gave them such a call, but they could only continue before they could report it.

When the people of Lorraine were attacked in the city of Naidle, it was Friday, June 13. This day is the origin of Black Friday in history.

The branches of the Holy See received a secret order from the Holy See to open the secret letter on this day. Follow the above to get started.

When a group of bishops and priests opened the secret letter as requested, it was revealed that the request on the secret letter was to destroy the local branch of the Flying Eagle Company and rob the ...... Uh, expropriate, expropriate their property, imprison the employees of the company, and then interrogate them harshly, collect their charges.

In the words of the staff of the Inquisition, if there is a problem, there is no problem if it is tried, and if it falls into our hands, it will definitely be able to be tried

Cardinal Carados must have done this with good intentions, killing two birds with one stone, not only to severely damage the strength of the Flying Eagle Company, but also to spend Lorraine's money to buy people's hearts for himself

After receiving the order, many places immediately took action.

Especially outside the Ruman Empire, these people have long been eyed by the benefits of the Flying Eagle Company, but they just didn't stare at it, and now that they have the opportunity, of course they can't let it go.

Everyone hit it off with the local officials.

As if they were celebrating the New Year, they rolled up their sleeves, ordered their brothers, and then happily rushed to the local office of the Flying Eagle Company.

These puppies are very smashed. The vaults were raided, the account books were burned, and all the employees were arrested.

Without trial, they put all those people in prison. I plan to wait until the property has been confiscated and the kickbacks have been relentlessly sufficiened, and then the interrogation will begin.

Faced with this unexpected situation, the local managers of the Flying Eagle Group, as a high-ranking senior in a monopoly group, watched the performance of the church and the magistrates with cold eyes.

Then he threw them a prophecy: "You will pay ten times the price for what you have done today." ”

As the clergy and officials rolled on the gold coins, news of the failed assassination of the Holy See followed.

At the same time, Lord Luo's iron-fisted methods spread like lightning throughout the land, and the world was shocked.

Only then did everyone suddenly remember that Lord Luo was a veteran of robbing other people's money, and it was not easy to rob him of his money.

And none of the people who had ever robbed him of his money, or who were in the way of Lord Lorraine, had come to a good end, not Almohads, or orcs, or even a lich, not a single one had escaped from Lord Lorraine.

These people, who have not even covered the heat with gold coins, have a cold shiver, and in the warm late spring, they shiver.

At this time, they will all remember the words of the manager of the Flying Eagle Group, "Maybe, maybe, the next one to hang on the cross will be yourself......"

At this time, Cardinal Obakhim's extremely harshly worded letter arrived.

In his letter, Obakhim made it clear: for me or against me, there is no middle ground. Those who support me, gather your strength against me...... Pray to God the Father

Among the people, those with a keen sense of smell have seen that the wind is not in the right direction, and there are those who actively return the stolen goods at the moment, and there are those who pull out the chaos and set things right.

They ceremoniously invited the people of the Flying Eagle Group out of the prison, put wine in the most conspicuous place to make amends for their sins, stuffed large red envelopes into the hands of the employees of the Flying Eagle Group, and then hurriedly wrote to Lorraine and Leo to express their loyalty.

But there are still some people, seeing the yellow and clear gold coins in the safe of the Flying Eagle Company, they were carried away at the moment, saying that they are going to resist to the end, they really think that the emperor is far away, and Lorraine's hand can't reach here, even if they can reach here, the military, politics and religion are all their people, and they can also sit back and relax.

And Buckley, the bishop of Utah Town, Pombo Province, of the Idora Empire, is an outstanding representative of this.

xxxxxx

Although Idora is called an empire, if it is not much stronger than the better principalities, its main problem is that it is too far from heaven and too close to the Ruman Empire. (It's the same with Mexico, too far from heaven and too close to the United States.) ）

But as an empire with a long history, the Idora people, especially the officials and nobles within the empire, were even more arrogant than the Rumans.

This is not difficult to understand, because they have nothing but arrogance, compared to the Ruman Empire.

Saturday, June 20.

Today, as usual, Utah Town is bustling with people and bustling.

It's just that this surging crowd seems to be less lively than usual, and more declining and depressed.

It's like a wealthy family or a courtyard that is going downhill little by little. Although there are still guests coming to the door and it is still lively, behind this glitz, it has begun to wither.

Maybe it's just a broken and glued window, maybe it's just an unwashed tablecloth, maybe it's just a cloth made of flowers in the corner, and from this detail, you can smell a hint of slow decay.

The people scattered in the countryside rarely come back to the city, and of course they have to bring enough food, melons and fruits produced by their own families. Sell it at the bazaar for a good price. Then buy some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, the necessities of life.

Doug is also one of them.

Although he came to the market early in the morning because of the peculiar cunning of the peasants, he felt that the atmosphere was a little different, but he did not care.

After selling the grain and fruits, I checked the sinking money bag, and couldn't help but be extremely happy. It is estimated that after buying daily necessities, there is still a lot of leftover.

As he walked, he couldn't help but carefully calculate: if he really had two dollars to spare, he would buy a few more picture books for the cubs at home.

Although I don't expect the unangry rabbit cub in the family to read those textbooks that are the same as the grandfather of the Naian Empire, he can have the same income as that grandfather, and he can manage a huge company at his age.

But as long as he can read two words, understand some addition and subtraction, and can calculate a number, when he grows up, he will not be like himself, illiterate, and as a result, he is always taken by those landlords, tax collectors, security chiefs, Huang Shiren, and Nan Batian, who take a piece of paper to rub his buttocks, and say that it is the emperor's new tax law, and pay money to the deceived obediently.

And even if you pay the money, you have to be pointed at your nose and scolded by them, which really hurts your self-esteem

Why can they eat meat every day, the old sows in the family eat clenbuterol. And my ancestors have to suffer and suffer poverty for generations, isn't it because I don't know a single big word?

The ledger was spread out in front of him, and he didn't know the ghost drawing on it, so he only listened to what people said.

If there is any money left, buy a few feet of flower cloth. The stinky mother-in-law at home has been blushing for several months on the fabrics produced by the Flying Eagle Group at the second mother-in-law of the village.

When the stinky lady sleeps every night, she has to chatter, and during this period of time, she can't raise the interest in nightlife entertainment at all. If you continue like this, you may not be able to use it in the future.

If you can squeeze it, buy a few more feet and go back, maybe the mother-in-law will be happy and sell her strength at night and change a few tricks...... Wow, just thinking about it makes me have a nosebleed......

But when Doug arrived at the bazaar, he was completely disappointed.

I saw that the golden signboard of the Flying Eagle Company had been shattered and scattered all over the ground. The painted door was torn open by a man's foot, and it fell to the ground with a twist. It was covered with large dusty footprints.

Looking through the doorway.

The neat and orderly queue of customers is gone.

The clanging sound of the abacus is gone.

The employees who shuttled back and forth, and the busy feet did not touch the ground, were gone.

The hustle and bustle of the past is gone

All that's left is a mess.

Doug's eyes widened for a moment.

God the Father is above

What's going on?

He hurriedly pulled someone to ask, but none of them dared to say. As soon as he saw that it was a raw face, he hurriedly waved his hand, and then walked quickly with his head down.

This made Doug confused.

It's easy to pull acquaintances to ask. The man also quickly pulled himself to his back, and then gave a low command.

Doug pieced it all together, and this was the way he knew what was going on.

Great Father

Lord Luo is such a famous character, he has been invincible since his debut, and he has conquered everything, and no one can even compare to the ability to pick up girls in the mainland, and he actually fought with the people of the Holy See?

And this company was copied by the Holy See?

Doug as a qualified farmer who has been brainwashed by the Empire and the Holy See. Where have you ever heard such earth-shattering news?

Revolt against the Holy See?

It's going to be a head-hunting

He didn't even dare to dream of such a thing.

In fact, just hearing others say this, he already felt his heart tremble and his head buzzed.

But then Doug thought of a more serious problem than Lord Lorraine's great injustice, 'vainly trying to fight against the glorious and righteous great Holy See with his own strength', 'turning back the wheel of history', and 'please wait and see, this rebellion will inevitably be crushed into powder by the iron fist of the people in the end': m1gbd, the Flying Eagle Company has fallen. Where do I get salt?

After all, this kind of 'raising troops to rebel against the hatred of the Holy See' is a matter of great righteousness that does not share the heavens, and it is an extremely strict matter of political principles and positions, and everyone can be angry. Wave your fists, shout two slogans, and you're done. Maybe you'll forget about it in two days.

However, this salt has to be eaten every day

If you don't have salt to eat, you won't have the strength to work. If you don't have the strength, you can't make money, you can't make money, you can only continue to live the same hard life as before, and continue to reincarnate like this.

Thinking of this, Doug couldn't help but be indignant: it was all because that Lord Luo was not good for himself that he had only lived a good life for a few days, and he had a quarrel with the Holy See. It's not that I'm not even tired of eating all that salt

In desperation, he ignored the persuasion of passers-by, and according to his previous memories, he came to the salt shop opened by Bishop Buckley.

As soon as Doug entered, he saw that there were only a few people inside.

Except for himself, all of them were guys in the store, and the business was extremely deserted.

When those people saw themselves coming in, they didn't greet them as enthusiastically as the people of the Flying Eagle Company, but like the doglegs of Huang Shiren, an excellent township entrepreneur, industrialist, financial entrepreneur, and talent strategist, they looked at him with disdain. Then he pouted. motioned for him to come up on his own.

When Doug saw their gaze, he involuntarily bent down and walked forward with a nod. Then he took out a stack of big sons. "Buy salt." ”

Someone looked at his stack of money, then sighed, picked a nail in the salt shaker behind him with his fingernails, and placed it in front of Doug.

Doug's eyes widened at the moment and he said, "I'll buy salt." ”

The man gave him a cold look, then laughed mockingly, and said, "I sell salt." ”

Doug heard the shameful smile in his words, and immediately blushed, and said, "I spent money, and if this money is in the Flying Eagle Company, I can buy a large bag of salt." ”

The man slapped the table at the moment, revealing a cold expression: "In our place, just buy so much salt, do you like it or not, don't pull it down." ”

As he spoke, he slapped the table hard. With this hard slap, he immediately slapped the salt grains away, revealing more than half of the black sand.

After these people snatched the salt of the Flying Eagle Company, they didn't even bother to mix the white sand of the same color according to the previous practice, so they directly took a big shovel and dug a few shovels of black soil to mix

Doug saw it and turned around angrily to leave. Indignantly shouted: "I won't buy it"

The guy next to him saw it and immediately surrounded him.

Those people are all thieves and rats, fierce and vicious, and they look more like ruffians and hooligans.

One of them shouted in a sharp voice, "You can't go, we sell salt in this Utah town, where do you want to buy it?"

Ha, I see, you're planning to buy private salt, aren't you?

What a bastard. Dare to explain the purchase of illicit salt, violating the sacrosanct laws of the Empire. I'm really impatient.

Someone, call me."

Then the crowd pounced on them like wolves. Then he punched and kicked Doug.

While the crowd was fighting, they shouted loudly: "It's the other way around, it's the other way around." There are people who have made a mess......"

Doug is a farmer, he has some strength, he can only farm, and when it comes to fighting, where is their opponent.

Doug was pressed to the ground by a group of people, punched, kicked and beaten so hard that Doug could only protect his head with his hands and beg for mercy again and again.

The steward of the salt shop kicked Doug several times, straightened his waist, took a breath, and said with emotion: "Guys, you don't have to hang any Flying Eagle Group anymore, the good old days are back." ”

As he spoke, he searched out the money bag on Doug's body, took it in his hand and shook it, now heavy, couldn't help but be overjoyed, hurriedly opened it to see, but disappointed to find that it was all copper plates, and couldn't help but scold angrily: ", It turned out to be a poor ghost, it was really busy for half a day"

The last guy grabbed Doug by the collar, lifted him off the ground, and kicked him out of the salt shop with a kick on his ass.

With an "ah" sound, Doug flew out of the door and crawled down the street, and the pedestrians on the road hurriedly avoided Douge, far away from Doug.

At this time, the guy in the store raised his hand and threw a bag of salt, slammed it on his body, and said, "You are a dead man, don't say that the uncles bully you, your little money is not enough to buy a bag of salt." Uncles see that you are pitiful, and they specially reward you, take it, get out"

The people in the store grinned at the moment, and there was another burst of laughter.

Doug kept his mouth open, lowered his head, and slowly got up from the ground, not caring about the soil on his body, and reached out to pick up the bag of salt mixed with most of the black soil.

Although he spent all the money and was beaten again, just in exchange for this bag of rotten salt, what else could he do?

This shop was opened by the bishop, even if it was sued to the county guard, he couldn't say that he would be accused of any crime, and then it would be closed for three or five years.

He limped away briskly, muttering in a low voice: "It's all Lorraine's villain, it's all Lorraine's bad, it's all his bad." It was supposed to be good, but it was only a few days of good life, but it was a mess with the Holy See, the store was smashed, and there was no place to buy salt......"

Someone next to him suddenly burst out laughing, and Doug stopped and looked up, and saw a young man dressed plainly, looking at him and smiling.

Looking at the other party's strong physique, Doug wisely held back his anger and raised his leg to bypass the young man.

The young man looked at Doug with interest, stopped him, and said with a smile: "It's all Lorraine's fault for that villain." Hahaha...... You know?

I wanted to say this a long time ago. But I didn't have the guts, I didn't expect to meet a confidant here. ”

Doug glanced back at him, ignored him, and prepared to leave.

The young man immediately said, "Hey, don't go, please show me the way, I'll pay you." ”

As he spoke, he shook a few silver coins in his hand.

Doug's eyes widened suddenly, this is a silver coin, with this money, you can buy books for the cub, buy flower cloth for the mother-in-law, and maybe buy another two taels of meat......

He involuntarily nodded along with the silver coin.

The young man smiled and said, "I'm going to Bishop Buckley, do you know where he is?"

Doug's eyes were all on the silver coin, nodded stunnedly, and said, "I know, at this time, he must be at the lover of No. 6 Barrel Street, and everyone in the city knows about it." ”

The young man patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, lead the way." ”

Doug led the young man through a few streets into a wide avenue, then raised his hand and pointed ahead, "You see, the balding fat man on the side of the carriage is Bishop Buckley. ”

The young man shoved the silver coin in his hand to Doug, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Thank you, hurry home, if someone asks you, it will be good for you to say that you have not seen me." ”

Doug paused for a moment, not understanding the meaning of the young man's words.

With a kind smile on his face, the young man walked straight to Bishop Buckley.

The smug Bishop Buckley was in a good mood to-day, greeting passers-by in a friendly manner, when his attendant stopped a young man approaching.

The young man said in a loud voice, "Bishop Buckley, my boss has asked me to bring you a message. ”

Barkley waved his hand at his attendant, motioned for him to let the young man over, and asked, "Who is your boss?"

The young man walked up to Barkley, bent down slightly, nodded in greeting, and said with a smile: "Dear Bishop Buckley, my boss is the Governor of Lorraine, and he asked me to greet you. ”

Barkley's eyes widened for a moment, and he looked at the young man in horror, and opened his mouth to shout, but before he could say anything, the young man took out a strange weapon from his clothes with lightning as he spoke, and then raised it, and slowly aimed it at him in a strange and graceful posture.

Immediately afterward, I heard a loud 'boom'.

Immediately, Barkley's head exploded as if it had been hit by a hammer on a watermelon, and the white brain paddle red blood was mixed together, looking extremely disgusting and making people want to vomit.

Pedestrians on the long street shouted "Kill someone" and then screamed and fled in all directions.

The guards next to him were also stunned when they saw it.

These young people are all from the second ancestor, and it's okay to play hooligans and fight in groups, but they have never seen this kind of thing of killing people and setting fires when they meet.

It took a while for the guards to react. Then he pulled his weapon, hesitantly trying to step forward.

The young man was crouching down with a big grin, pulling the bishop's ring from Barkley's hand in order to prove that he had done his job.

He glanced at the guards coldly and said, "The SS is doing something, get out of here."

The guards were stunned.

Who doesn't know the name 'SS'

Their reputation can stop crying at night, not to mention that those high-ranking members of the Holy See are still struggling on the cross outside the port of Naidle, trying to survive but not to die.

They are so ruthless in dealing with those bigwigs, and everyone pays for themselves, but they don't have the strength to make the 'SS' treat themselves leniently. After attacking them, you can also evade their cold-blooded outlaw pursuit.

Everyone looked at each other and took a step back.

At this moment he saw the young man stand up, and pointed the strange weapon at himself with an impatient expression, and then he shouted with a chill, and then turned and fled quickly.

The young man sneered, then lowered his head, glanced contemptuously at Buckley's corpse, and whispered, "Tooth for tooth, blood for blood." ”

At this moment, a carriage sped up to him. The young man jumped on it and disappeared from the panicked street.
