Chapter 107: Joanna's Situation
The City of Saints, the Temple of Nicholas.
The morning mist shrouded in a faint light, and the entire temple of Nicholas seemed to be in a cloud-shrouded fairyland, quiet and peaceful, a beautiful scene.
The bluestone pavement outside the temple was still wet, and when I sniffed it carefully, I could smell a fresh smell, and the sound of horses' hooves came from the distant side of the road, and from far to near, a team gradually appeared on the horizon.
The majestic white war horse, the metal armor glowing with silver light, all declares that this is the holy knights of the temple, there is a luxurious carriage in the center of many holy knights, from the outside, this luxurious carriage is full of wind and dust, it seems that it should have been a long way, and the same is true of those holy knights on the periphery, although the body is still straight, and the eyes are still sharp, but the occasional tired face can make people see their fatigue. This is supposed to be a team returning from a long journey, and the people in the team are silent, no one speaks, and only the crisp sound of the horseshoe coming into contact with the bluestone pavement can be heard.
In the carriage, Joanna, who was dressed in white, looked a little tired at the moment, her fair face was full of sorrow, it could be seen that Joanna was not in a very good mood, compared with when she set off more than a month ago, the youthful self-confidence was no longer visible, and her eyes were full of confusion and melancholy.
Another middle-aged man in a gorgeous robe looked to be about forty years old, but in fact this person was already in his fifties, because of his good maintenance and his own extraordinary strength, he looked relatively young, this middle-aged man was the current master of the Nicholas Temple, Quinsay Stewart.
At this time, Kunsai's face was very bad, and there seemed to be something hidden under his gloomy expression, and his originally wise and deep eyes seemed to become a little distorted at this moment, and we couldn't imagine what kind of things would make the Kunsai Hall Lord like this. In the silent passage of time, the carriage slowly drove into the gates of Nicholas's Temple.
In the northwest corner of the Sanctuary of Nicholas, cathedral-like buildings rise one after another, each with a unique sign carved on the door, and in a palace engraved with a silver crown, Quincey Stewart sits high on a chair in the middle of the main hall, looking at the kneeling maiden below, with a gloomy face.
Next to the girl stood a tall holy knight, and there were only three people in the entire palace, and it looked a little empty.
"I'm sorry, Lord Hall, but I failed to live up to your expectations of me. Joanna probably felt very uncomfortable, so her voice was a little hoarse, and she sounded very weak and tired.
Quintsey still had a gloomy face, looking indifferently at the girl under the palace.
"Yes, Lord Hall, the Holy Maiden has done her best, and usually the Holy Maiden cultivates very hard, the reason for this defeat is mainly because the other party has taken a great advantage in weapons, otherwise she will definitely be able to win. A tall, handsome blonde Holy Knight stepped out from one side and knelt down on one knee to Quinsay. This is Kate.
"You deserve to talk here?" Quintsay's originally indifferent eyes suddenly lit up, and he stared at Kate fiercely. Kate suddenly felt nervous after being seen by the Lord of the Quinsay Palace, and the pressure was surging from all directions, and the sudden feeling of pressure made Kate have to shut up.
"Do you know what it is like to have sixteen years of anticipation when it is shattered in an instant? Do you know how many torments will be in the sixteen years of waiting? I have raised you for sixteen years, and in these sixteen years I have taught you all kinds of knowledge and learned all kinds of mysteries, and you tell me that I have given so much and deserve something in return!" Quintsay said to Joanna who was kneeling on the ground with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
"I am very grateful to the hall master for nurturing me, and I also really want to do something to repay the hall master, so I have been trying to do what I have to do all these years, and I feel sad about this failure. Joanna said with tears in her voice.
"Yes, the Holy Maiden has been working very hard to help the Sect Master share the affairs of the Sect. Katai clearly sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, and was worried that the hall master would punish Joanna, so he was forced to take the risk and speak again under pressure.
Quinsay gave Kate a playful look, then smiled contemptuously, "Who gave you the courage to talk to me like this, do I need your reminder?" Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, you have been Joanna's guardian knight since you were a child!
The Holy Maiden of Protection, it's ridiculous! This is not allowed in the "Divine Codex"! It seems that she will be burned to death on the "Holy Flame"!"
"The subordinates never dared to blaspheme the Holy Maiden, the hall master Mingjian. Kate said with a sweat on her head.
Joanna was also stunned by the words of the Lord of the Quinsay Palace, and looked at Kate and then at Quinsay with questions in her eyes.
"Whether you dare to blaspheme this kind of thing is not something that can be proved by words, maybe only Lord God knows if you are lying!" Quintsey said coldly.
"Your Excellency, please trust in my loyalty. Kate made a chest beating salute with a serious face and said solemnly.
"Loyalty? I believe in your loyalty, but not to me, but to her?" quinsay smiled and pointed at Joanna.
"I now declare that the Holy Daughter Joanna and the Holy Knight Kate have fornicated with the Holy Knight, and have insulted the majesty of God, blasphemed the purity of God, and the merciful God has mercy on the world, and has sent down the judgment of heavenly fire, and burned all the ugliness, and hereby bestows the punishment of Saint Joanna and Holy Kate Kate by burning herself. ”
"How about it, my lordess saint, doesn't it sound wonderful, but you don't have to worry, of course the judgment will not come immediately, since you can't be a goddess, then you can try to be my personal maid, so I will put you in custody for the time being, and when this time is over, I will judge your sins properly. Haha!" Quentsay said with a twisted face and some hysteria.
Joanna looked at the crazy Quinsay, and suddenly felt that this person had become very strange, and remembered that when he was a child, he cared so much about himself, just like his father, although he didn't have a father, but it was completely different from now, what's wrong, just because I didn't choose a goddess, things became like this, and the things that happened one after another made Joanna seem to be stupid and lost the ability to think, so Joanna now looks like she is demented, she doesn't understand, so she hears the trial, She didn't show any panic or protest at the stake, because she needed time to think things through.
