Chapter 693: Martial Artist, After All, You Have to Rely on Weapons to Speak!
In a moment, when Donn returned to his lodgings, a gloomy Byron was sitting at the table in the middle of the room, while the young knight stood with his head bowed to the side as if reprimanded, and his expression was aggrieved.
"Zachary, where did you go before?" Seeing Don step into the room, Byron's expression was solemn, although he didn't roar because of his soft hand, but his tone was not much better.
"Hey, my lord?" Don seemed to have just seen Byron, hurriedly walked a few steps, stepped forward and saluted respectfully, and then spread his hands awkwardly, "I went to the convenience just now, I thought I could find a way back, but I didn't want to go a fork, so I just found it...... Uh, sorry. ”
Frowning, Don's words were similar to what the young knight said before, Byron didn't doubt it, but said unhappily: "Don't run around, if you don't want to die......" pointed to the young knight on the side, "In the next few days, you will live here, you are not allowed to go anywhere, just let him go out to do something." ”
"Yes, yes......" Don wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and his expression was panicked, and then he asked hesitantly, "What about Xia Wei'an......"
"It's not something you should know. With a wave of his hand, Byron interrupted strongly, and then snorted coldly, holding his forehead with a bloody cloth, with a hint of fierce resentment in his eyes, "Hmph, naturally someone will clean her up......" muttered in a low voice, got up and walked towards the door, "That's it, remember, you are not allowed to go anywhere, otherwise I won't be able to protect you!"
Zachary, disguised by Donn, is now the only high-level member of the Bounty Hunters Guild. So even if it doesn't look at the money, Byron naturally doesn't want this lone seedling to die in the hands of Xia Weian.
"Yes...... Have you eaten dinner together?" Don looked at the hot food on the table. Asked politely.
"No!" Byron didn't reply. Walk straight out of the house. Touched his nose. Don looked at the knight standing aside, "Why don't you have some food with me?"
"Uh...... I've eaten ......."
......
After a while, Don sat down at the table with a knife and fork and tasted a few bites of food, "Alas, there is something unpalatable enough, and there is no oil and water at all." The logistics kitchen must have been corrupted, tsk, the Temple of Light, I have long seen through it, and there is no good thing from the inside out......"
While bored with this light meal, Don took out a thick letter from his bosom and placed it on the table, swiping his fingers and hissing...... A neat cut was made, and then the envelope was lifted and knocked. More than a dozen pieces of paper slipped out of it, and some fell to the ground.
spoon a meal. Tang En shook his head and smiled, "Hehe, what a hatred this is, to write so much black material." Well, I'll take a look at ......."
Swallowing the clear soup, he grabbed the paper on the table casually, and read it while eating, "The clergy do not cultivate their minds, betray their faith, and there are many people who take bribes privately, and greed is rampant...... Yo, the handwriting is good, this stroke is ......"
Then he grabbed the rest of the papers, and then picked up the ones on the ground. After a general glance, Tang En shook his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a hint of mockery.
Needless to say, these papers were naturally reports from Charvian's intention to deliver to the Shrine General Association. It's about the Bounty Hunters' Guild, and the recent well-founded clergy scandal on the market.
There is no doubt that once this real-name report letter written by Xia Wei'an is exposed, it can definitely cause an uproar that shocks the world.
If it was put aside, Tang En would naturally clap his palms and watch the excitement for such a favorite thing. But not now, he finally became the northern president of the Bounty Hunters Guild, and the takeover from David's side has not yet been completed, and the evidence has not been recorded...... It can be said that Tang En's plan in advance has not been put in place, so he naturally does not want the temple to send a large number of people to investigate because of this matter.
Moreover, Don is not optimistic about the outcome of Xia Weian's move.
There's no one like Sesman or Byron at the temple?
This report letter was handed over, and the result was likely to be sunk, and then the temple headquarters sent someone over to capture Xia Wei Yan directly...... After a small upheaval, there was no. Oh, there may be a few big people on the side of the Northern Temple who will be unlucky, but the reason for this bad luck is definitely not because of the outbreak of their own ugliness, but because they didn't look at Xia Wei'an and let her know about these things......
"Heh......" With a sneer, Don thought for a moment, folded all the papers, and stretched them out towards the flame of the oil lamp.
The flames burst out suddenly, and the green smoke curled up, reflecting Tang En's uncertain expression, and the indescribable strange irony, "It's rotten to the bones, and it's hopeless." What's the use of you speaking out alone...... Let me help you and sweep this garbage straight into the trash......"
......
For the next two days, the shrine was as usual.
Ringing the bell in the early morning, and during the morning class, a large number of local and foreign believers rushed to the square in front of the temple to pray sincerely. After that, most of the local believers go back to start their day's life, and the out-of-town believers either go to the clergy to explain and pray for blessings, or just tour around the temple allowable, etc., this process lasts for a whole day, and then the evening bell rings, the believers disperse, and the clergy begin to pack up and eat......
Living like this, the cycle goes on and on, and over time, it's no wonder that most of the people here are calm when Tang En saw it before, but the pace of life here is too slow.
Charvien didn't leave the temple, nor did she make a fuss about it, praying, training, resting, and being too quiet. Probably waiting for someone from the temple to come down and investigate, or maybe he was waiting for Donn to be left alone so that he could be killed......
Of course, Donn didn't care about that. Although he knew that the current calm of the temple should be an illusion, and from Byron's vague tone before, he could hear that they seemed to have some actions against Xia Weian, but Tang En was naturally not interested in inquiring - Xia Weian, the Temple of Light, who do you love, and I am not a savior, I want to fight......
That's probably the attitude, and the documentary evidence that Don is most concerned about finally has an eyebrow.
I don't know if it's because I've been comfortable for too long, a little careless, or because of some other reason, Don found that the defense here is generally lax, even some forbidden places, and it's not difficult to sneak in.
During the day, Donn was grounded by Byron. Several Knights of Light stood guard at the door, preventing him from going out at will. But at night. Don almost wandered around the temple. Easy and stress-free.
Although he hadn't found any evidence of the record, he wasn't frustrated because Don had chosen an easy place to infiltrate. Moreover, with the important process of recording evidence, it is inevitable that it will be hidden in some forbidden place, and if the previous places are excluded, the scope of the target will naturally be small......
As soon as qiē, it's up to tonight!
Look at the twilight outside the skylight. Don, dressed in black, clenched his fists and encouraged himself. After thinking about it, he made a gesture on his chest again, and secretly prayed for the position of the statue of the god of light here.
"It's so close, how religious am I, why do you have to give some face......"
After the prayer, Don felt at ease. Then he stepped on the wooden table, and his figure rose into the air, passing through the skylight accurately. There was a slight click. The skylight was closed outside, and the house was instantly plunged into darkness. Silence......
............
At the same time, somewhere in the temple, Shavien was looking at the oil lamp on the table in a daze.
Her life seems to be normal in the past few days, but after such a thing, this business as usual actually means that it is abnormal.
Anger, betrayal, suffocation...... It's only been a few days, and when Xia Weien looks at the temple and is familiar with the scene, she can't get any comfort from it. Looking at those familiar faces again, I suddenly felt very unfamiliar. Or maybe I never really recognized these people!
The candle flame flickered, reflecting the wall, like a devil dancing with evil deeds. Xia Wei'an slowly stretched out her hands, supporting her unusually heavy forehead as if playing back in slow motion, pursed her lips, and looked pained.
The ugly shady scenes of the clergy are only an isolated case, and the reason why they are making such a big fuss now is because there are evil heretics in it......
The relationship between the Temple of Light and the Bounty Hunters' Guild has existed for a long time, including the approval of several generations of popes......
The means are not important, the important thing is that the ends are the same, all for the faith of God......
......
In the past few days, like this, all kinds of statements have been around my ears.
For a while, Charvien was also a little confused, wondering if she was wrong this time, otherwise why everyone else had a different opinion than herself, so she did not refuse the bishops' repeated persuasions, trying to listen to their opinions and understand their ideas. But......
It's a pity that in the end, Xia Weien still couldn't convince herself.
Isn't what the Temple of Light has always advocated and represented justice? Just because he wants to deal with evil, he has to abandon justice and turn into evil...... What is the rationale for this?
The reason why light is light is because it is a kind of existence that is completely opposed to darkness...... Isn't it?
Just like the pure white cloth, it should be holy and pure white, so it will become the robe of the clergy. And once it's dyed black, it's gray, if not pure black. In this case, can it still be called holy?
There are many questions that Charvian can't answer by herself, and when she asks those bishops, the result is often speechless, or she only says that she is stubborn and does not think about the overall situation......
Yes, I am stubborn! But you can't give me a reason not to be stubborn, so how can I not be stubborn? I don't think about the overall situation -- I don't think about the overall situation with such a bad track record, and I don't want to change it, but let it continue to be eroded...... So, is that really good?
"Huh" ......Turbidity gasped, the oil lamp and candle on the table suddenly swayed, and the light in the room was dim and flickered, just like Xia Wei'an's complicated mood now, a little dazed!
His eyes drooped slightly, "Why did it become like this...... Was it me who was wrong, or were they wrong...... I don't understand, let's wait for the general meeting to come......" muttered in a low voice, getting weaker and weaker, and finally there was only a few voices left.
Xia Wei'an can have the cultivation she has now, naturally she will not be a stupid person, she understands the consideration of Owens when he took the letter before. It's nothing more than worrying that the situation on the other side will be the same as here, and then I will be retaliated against by some people......
Admittedly, the odds are high. But Charvian sent the letter anyway, not for anything else, but to give herself a little more hope......
At this time, Xia Weien no longer knows who to believe, and now she is particularly vulnerable and can't withstand any blow. So even if she knows that she is playing a gamble that must be lost, she must seize that glimmer of hope and gamble!
"Don't let me down again. Even if it's just to give me a reason...... God the Father. Please......"
The voice faded away. At this time, knock, knock, knock...... There was a knock on the door.
When she came back to her senses, Xia Wei'an couldn't help frowning slightly, thinking that it was the bishops who came to lobby: "I'm tired, let's talk about something tomorrow." ”
The knocking stopped, and then, with a creak, the unlocked wooden door was gently pushed open.
His gaze suddenly turned cold. took a breath, got up and turned his head: "I said...... Uh, Mr. Rust?" The tone suddenly raised, and Xia Weien's expression was suddenly overjoyed.
"Haha, long time no see, Vivi. At the door, an old man dressed in notched armor and frost-white temples walked in with a smile.
Bowing and saluting, "It's been a long time." Teacher Rust, I didn't expect to see you this time ......" As if realizing something, Xia Wei'an slowly straightened up and pursed her lips, "You ...... this time You're here to persuade me?"
Rust's expression couldn't help but froze when he heard this, obviously guessing the purpose. Xia Wei'an's expression darkened when she saw this, and her joy faded, "Sure enough, ......"
"Yes, the teacher won't hide it from you, I did come for this. Rust's personality is also hearty, and he doesn't hide it when he guesses the purpose, and he directly opens up and says, "Weiwei, we are all martial artists. None of those magicians who chant spells can play with their mouths and only like to speak with their weapons. You're doing the right thing this time, some of the bunny cubs in the temple have indeed gone too far and deserve to be judged. ”
Hearing this, Xia Wei'an's eyes suddenly lit up, exuding a little brilliance: "Do you think I'm right?"
Rust nodded without hesitation: "Of course! Yes is right, wrong, that deserves to be punished, this is a simple matter." But ......"
After a moment's pause, he continued, "Weiwei, this time the situation is different, there are too many people wrong, if you judge them one by one, the temple will have to collapse half. So you'll have to give some time to get through this special period first, and then let the temple slowly correct its mistakes. ”
Xia Wei'an's expression did not move, and she looked at Rust fixedly: "Teacher, I can wait for as long as I want." But can you tell me for sure that those who make mistakes will be punished, and the Bounty Hunters' Guild will disappear completely?"
"I'd love to sue you, but ......" shook his head, and the upright Rust sighed, "I'm afraid not, because then the temple will still be damaged." Well, in fact, there are scum everywhere, such as those administrators in the towns of Bran. Most of them are not good people, but it is natural that they will not be able to remove them all. So it should punish some people and give others a warning, so that they will be somewhat restrained. ”
"I understand, we still have to focus on the overall situation, or let this ugliness continue......" Shaking his head, Xia Wei'an's eyes just darkened, and her eyes drooped, "Teacher, I learned to shoot with you when I was seven years old." You have often said that the spear is a righteous servant who wields only for the glory of God and the safety of believers. But why can't I find justice now?"
Rust was stunned and opened his mouth, trying to say something but not being able to say it, and finally just sighed.
Shavien continued, "Moreover, the temple is different from Bran. There can be checks and balances, and even compromises. But faith is absolute, right, no, tolerated, defiled, and defiled!"
One word at a time, as if it were cut to the core, colliding stiffly everywhere in the house, constantly reverberating.
Immediately, the room fell silent, and the warm atmosphere of the reunion of teachers and students gradually cooled down, and finally disappeared completely.
Half-ringing, looking at Xia Wei'an's unyielding gaze, Rust sighed lightly: "Okay, I knew I wouldn't be a good lobbyist." Slowly unhooked the spear at his waist, looked at Xia Wei'an's somewhat incredulous expression, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry Weiwei, I can't let you continue." This will destroy the temple and harm yourself. ”
After a pause, "As I said before, martial artists rely on weapons to speak after all, so let the teacher see how you have improved in marksmanship over the years." ”
............
In the dwilight, there is an undercurrent of holiness like the Temple of Light. The battle is about to break out on one side, and the thieves on the other side have also arrived at their destination.
An inconspicuous side hall, but it is an out-and-out temple forbidden place.
According to the young knight, this was actually an exhibition room inside the temple, which enshrined some of the things left by the famous and powerful people during their lifetimes, and I heard that there were also holy relics. However, the clergy here can only enter the first floor, so what exactly is on the upper two floors is mostly just rumors.
A soft sound drifted away in the night wind, and then, a figure glided through the air, and a bat landed on the roof tiles on the second floor of the side hall. And just below the eaves, the guards guarding the temple were unaware.
Ha ha...... Silently grinning, while collecting the hook and rope, Don shook his head and sighed, "This is the Northern Temple......?
Of course, this is cheap and obedient, in fact, although the northern temple is a little careless, the guard work will not be rotten like this. The main reason is that tonight's situation is a bit special, and a large number of people have been transferred to Xia Wei'an, so Don has unknowingly picked up a big bargain.
After putting away the rope, Don looked up at the third-floor skylight, hesitated, and finally decided to start from the second-floor. With a swift swing of the knife, he slashed through the gap in the middle of the window, instantly cutting off the wooden bolt inside.
Pull out the window, dodge, roll on the ground, and quickly scan the surroundings. A series of actions are connected with flowing water, and there is no ingenuity.
Immediately, Don was dumbfounded......
...... (To be continued......)
