Chapter 31: On the One Hundred Ways to Judge a Witch
Early in the morning, there is very little traffic on the road.
Luo Xiu performed the Sky Commanding Technique and quickly came to the Livia Church.
It stands to reason that as the priest of the church, he needs to come to the church once a month to complete his prayers.
It is also to brush up on the impression in front of the general public.
It's just that since taking the witch away in the church two years ago, Luo Xiu hasn't been to the Livia church once.
As a priest, this is undoubtedly a dereliction of duty.
Luo Xiu didn't care, anyway, there were more places for him to be derelict in his duties.
Walk into the church and come to the prayer hall.
It was still early, and there was no one else in the church, except for an old man dressed in red standing beneath the tall and elegant statue of a twelve-winged white goddess.
He is Seko Podon, one of the seven cardinal archbishops of the Holy See.
Noticing movement behind him, Seko turned around and saluted respectfully.
He lowered his head slightly, not looking directly at the man, this young junior was far more tough than his old bones.
"Father Lossiu, I've been waiting here for a long time."
Luo Xiu snorted without being salty, "Say, what's the matter?" ”
Seko's eyes flashed, and without delay, he went straight to the point.
He spoke with a hint of regret.
"Father Luo Xiu, you and I are the most loyal believers of the Goddess, so why keep pretending to be stupid?"
"His Majesty the Pope has already given you many opportunities, and if you insist on going down the wrong path, there is only one way to die!"
Luo Xiu frowned, and said coldly: "Seko Bodon, this is the way you talk to me?" ”
The old man in red bowed his head and hurriedly bowed his head to confess.
He said in his heart that this young man is so unreasonable, and I kindly advise you not to go astray, but you are telling me that your attitude is not good?
"Ask the priest to calm his anger."
Seko hesitated for a moment, but then continued to persuade: "Father Losiu, I hope you can understand that His Majesty the Pope cherishes your talent and will tolerate your nonsense again and again. ”
"But no matter how nonsense you do, there is a limit after all."
"Today I am here to persuade you, and if you come again next time, it will be the Inquisition Army of the Holy See."
In the words, the meaning of danger is overflowing.
Luo Xiu narrowed his eyes, his expression unmoved.
"You're threatening me?"
He flicked his sleeves, full of momentum.
"I, Luo Xiu, have been acting all my life, so why do I need to explain it to others?"
"Get out!"
With a cold snort from Loxiu, Seko Fluctuating's old face was cloudy for a while.
He originally came with the task of persuasion, but he didn't expect Luo Xiu to give him so little face.
Seko didn't rush to say cruel words, but he had already sentenced Luo Xiu to death in his heart.
Since you have repeatedly been obsessed, then blame the Holy See for being ruthless!
The old man grimaced and turned away.
This peace talks finally ended with a complete reversal of the face of Loshchu and the Holy See.
After Seko Podon left, Losiu stood alone.
He looked up at the tall statue of the goddess in front of him.
His eyes wandered over the stone statue, first to the graceful and graceful face of the goddess, and then to the twelve huge wings behind it.
The wings were really big, and they took up almost the entire sky.
Pure white, yet holy.
In the empty hall, Luo Xiu's soft murmur sounded.
"Could it be that the gods must be pure white and holy...... Is it? ”
The man stood quietly for a long time before leaving.
……
……
Manor.
After Luo Xiu left, a slender figure slowly walked up to the second floor.
Erin was wandering aimlessly.
Selina follows Miss Anna to learn how to customize new clothes.
She plans to customize one for Losho and Eileen.
Life in the manor is very comfortable, and it is normal for Selina to have such leisure and leisure.
But Ireen wasn't too interested in these miscellaneous things.
Every now and then, she would run around the manor alone.
said that it was a manor, but in fact, it was more precise, it was wandering around Luo Xiu's study.
As I grew older, in Luo Xiu's words, it was Erin's 'tsundere' temperament, which really didn't change at all.
This nature may only change after experiencing some major changes in life.
Lohew's study is large, but the furnishings are simple.
Except for a set of frequently used tables and chairs, the rest are tall bookshelves one after another.
Irene likes to stay here, she often picks up random books from the shelves, and then sits in the chair that belongs to Loshew, and reads quietly.
Today, of course, is no exception.
She tiptoed to remove a thick book from the shelf.
The morning light sprinkled down, and the graceful figure of the girl hidden under the black dress was transparent.
A few large characters on the cover of the book are also illuminated.
"On the One Hundred Ways to Judge Witches"
Holding the book, Eileen subconsciously glanced around.
The manor was quiet in the early morning, and Luo Xiu retired all the people in the manor for the sake of secrecy.
At the moment, there was no movement except for the occasional rustle of leaves in the breeze outside the window.
But Erin's little face was still a little nervous, and she felt inexplicably weak.
With the book in her hand, she went to Loshew's seat and sat down.
Then learn from the man as usual, spread out the book, and read it seriously.
In fact, Eileen has read this book several times, but each time she doesn't have time to read much, she will be interrupted by various accidents.
The content of the book is also the book as its name suggests, telling some of the methods used by priests to deal with witches hundreds of years ago.
For example, the most common punishment is caning, and so on.
Eileen, of course, looks at it with a critical eye.
But she didn't expect that the first half of the book was fine, but the more she got to the back, the more unserious it became.
It can be said that it is a forbidden book.
If it is just a description of how to judge witches, it is naturally not a taboo for the Holy See, and it can even be used as a positive teaching material.
But the description of the witch and the priest in the book is extremely ambiguous.
If this were to be seen by the people of the Holy See, it would certainly be treated as a deliberate scandal by some cultists who had written heretical books written by priests.
Fortunately, it has been stored in Luo Xiu's study, and no one usually pays attention to it, so it survived.
Erin reads books very quickly.
The study was silent, except for the rustle of her pages from time to time.
The more she looked, the redder her little face became.
In the end, the little face that used to be beautiful and matchless was now a red flutter.
Coupled with her physique, the skin of other parts of her body is unusually snow-white, and now the comparison between the two is even more beautiful.
The last few descriptions in the book are so erosive that Eileen can't stand it.
She hurriedly closed the book, and let out a long breath, as if she had finally escaped from some strange state.
The girl patted her chest lightly, soothing her pounding heart.
After a while, she relieved herself, her eyebrows swelled with a little shame, and she scolded in a low voice.
"Phew, it's really a pervert, and he still puts this kind of book on the shelf, it's really premeditated!"
Erin angrily yells at someone, but forgets that when she finds the book, it has not been opened.
Eileen sat down in her chair for a moment again, and she glanced out the window.
At some point, the sun was already high.
