Along the way, such a scene of burning at the stake has been seen several times. Every other stretch of the road, there are always a few people who are nailed to improvised wooden shelves and burned alive.

"It's just... It's only those who can't do it as beasts!" Wren whispered.

To be honest, he used to read books and movies and also learned about burning at the stake. But for the first time in such a close look, the remains were still in their pre-death positions, their bodies twisted. You can see how much pain was suffered at the time of being burned at the stake. The most terrifying thing is that there are children among them.

These fanatics don't know if they're really crazy...

"Johnson! There's a twelve-man cavalry squad coming in front of us. Molia issued a timely warning. She stands taller, and she is a steppe elf, and her eyesight is far better than everyone else, so she can also detect the situation ahead before the convoy.

"Got it, Lily, sit down. Johnson replied.

Johnson asked Moria to take a Cult of Light artifact from her backpack and put it around her neck.

Because of the race of elves, no one would force elves to believe in the god of light. Most elves worship the gods of wind and water.

This is still within the scope of the recognition of the Bright God Sect, after all, Feng Shui, Earth and Fire are the four main elemental gods, and these four main gods have been recognized in the mainland for many years. Only a few unusually small cultists are considered heretics by the Cult of the Light.

But even so, elves should be careful when they meet fanatics. Who knows what these people with abnormal brains will do.

"All stopped, get checked!" the cavalry leading the group had already rushed to the convoy.

"The Light is with you, my friend!" Johnson replied loudly.

"The Light is with you! This is the Tia Execution Team of the Inquisition. I'm Captain Wallace. When the cavalry squad heard this, he saluted.

"Friend, where are you going?" the squad leader, Wallace, looked at the people in the car. Moria's brow furrowed slightly. Then he stared at Wren and Kruger.

Wren was stared at a little hairy, so he used a holy blessing spell, which was a primary divine spell. The main thing is to make the priest appear more holy when he reads the scriptures. Of course, it can also be used for lighting at night.

"Oh, or a parishioner?" said Wallace curiously. Although the Holy Blessing Technique is a skill of the junior priests, it can indeed represent that Rayne's identity is a friend and foe.

"Yes, my name is White and I'm from Van Gogh. Wren lied.

"Hmm!" Wallace nodded.

"That's my uncle!" Wren said, gesturing at the sleeping Kruger. Wallace nodded slightly, as he realized that Kruger was a magician. No one of any sect would despise a magician.

"Lord Paladin, we are escorting Baron James of Lead Bull Town to Shannan. Johnson replied.

"Baron James of Lead Cowtown?" asked Wallace.

"Yes, we just accepted the mercenary group commissioned by Baron James. Johnson continued.

Wallace rode around the convoy, observed it, and then thought about it seriously. He raised his hand and said to the cavalry in the rear: "Release." ”

Johnson didn't expect James's name to be useful.

But it's normal, James is also the lord of Lead Cowtown. Since this squad leader is executing the fatwa in Dia, it is natural that he will also have to go to Lead Cow Town.

According to Johnson's contact and understanding, Lead Cow Town is a 100% Illuminist town. This can be seen from the fact that several people escorted wore necklaces of the Sun Emblem of the Holy See of Light around their necks.

Wren looked at the squad leader Wallace from the sidelines, but felt familiar for a while. It wasn't until after the group of cavalry left that a memory came out of the memory of old Wren, who was Wren's predecessor Wallace when he was at the Paladin School, probably three years higher than him.

He didn't have any contact before he graduated, and Wren looked up to Wallace at that time. He was also the star knight of his year. I didn't expect to become such a fanatical believer.

The journey from Leadbull Town to Tia City is about three days, and the convoy travels during the day and rests at night.

In the evening, we arrived at the first overnight destination, Lakeside Village, which is famous for its nearby Jinguang Lake.

From here, you have to cross a stone bridge to enter the village. The strange thing is that the stone bridge is usually very lively here. Because Lakeside Village is an important transit point, although it is not a busy one. But there were many caravans.

Although it is a village, the degree of flowering is better than that of Lead Cow Town. Who knew that this time, not only was there no one along the way, but there was not even a single pedestrian in the whole village.

Johnson knocked on a few inns but no one answered, and in the end, Johnny couldn't help but slam the door and enter. only to find that there was no one in the hotel.

The helpless Johnson also arranged for the whole convoy to stay in the hotel where the door was smashed open. The drivers of the team are also people who go out a lot, so they have strong hands-on skills. They didn't need Johnson to do anything, and after a while, hot water and hot rice were also placed on everyone's table.

Everyone was waiting to get ready for dinner and rest as soon as possible. There was a warning sound outside the door.

"Listen, listen, we are the Inquisition of the Illuminati. Please come out now and get checked. Someone shouted outside the door at this time.

Johnson quickly stood up and walked out quickly, followed by Wren.

"May the Light bless you! Johnson saw that outside the door was still the same cavalry squad he had met on the road during the day. hurriedly greeted first.

Johnson stepped forward, stretched out his hand and quietly shook the hand of the squad leader, and naturally stuffed a few gold coins in his hand.

"It's you!" Captain Wallace said enthusiastically when he saw that Wren was there.

"Since it is you, and Baron James's party, I will allow you to stay overnight, but you must leave tomorrow morning, and you must not stay in the village. We've been hunting down heretics in the neighborhood lately. In principle, no caravans are allowed to pass by. That being said, Wallace wasn't idle.

Wallace took Johnson's past gold and gently shook it. Then he turned to leave. It seemed that without these gold coins, in principle, they would have to travel in the middle of the night.

This couldn't help but make Wren sigh for a while, this society is really a big dye vat. In his memory, it was impossible for a student as good as Wallace to become such a person.

"Captain Wallace, I would like to ask what about the rest of the village? We have been looking in the village for a long time without seeing anyone. Before Wallace got on his horse and left, Johnson hurriedly asked.

Johnson pointed to the door of the inn behind him, "We smashed it open ourselves. ”

"They, you say, these villagers, are all heretics who believe in the evil gods of the forest, and we have arrested them. I just received an order from Diya City tonight, more than 100 people, all of them will be burned at the stake tomorrow! But please don't break the contents inside. The village will soon become the property of the Holy Church. At this time, Wallace's eyes showed a frenzy.

"Oh, that's right. Johnson hurriedly agreed.

More than 100 people were burned to death, what kind of crazy church is this! But he couldn't say it, he could only be silent and submissive.

After saying goodbye to Wallace. Johnson Wren and his party returned to the hotel. Except for the members of the mercenary group, the others have already returned to their houses to rest. There are a lot of hotel rooms, and everyone is tired today.

Wren didn't say a word, he was still a paladin of the Church of Light after all. All this today makes him say well.

Johnson was even more frighteningly silent, and suddenly Johnson slammed the table hard. "It's done!"

"Kruger, Moria, the three of us will go together tomorrow morning to rescue these people. Johnny, you leave with the caravan first. Johnson said.

"Yes, Commander. Johnny agreed, but Kruger and Molia didn't need words, and Johnson's reaction was expected.

"Johnny, you're going to lead the team tomorrow, so you should go and rest as soon as possible. Johnson sent Johnny to sleep first. Johnny thought about it, and he probably wouldn't be able to help much. So I simply went upstairs to find a private room and rested first.

"Johnson, can you let me join us in the fight!" After Johnny left, Wren thought for a moment and said.

If he can participate, this may be his first battle in this world.
