Chapter 189: Rumors are rife
Inside the tavern.
An idle mercenary whispered to his companion:
"Did you hear? The Holy Warrior Pendleton didn't care about the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Gaolin City, and wanted to shield the monsters and dragons in the battle of the slaughtering city. ”
"Really!" the mercenary's companion asked, with a look of curiosity on his face, "Tell me about it!"
The mercenary did not shy away from suspicion, and many people around him heard it and leaned closer to hear the gossip of the legendary powerhouse.
"According to one of my brothers......"
......
"Have you heard? The legendary powerhouse Pendleton colluded with the monsters to slaughter the city and wanted to wash the city in blood, and was later besieged by their enemy, the three-headed dragon, and this matter was spread all over the country. ”
"The legendary paladin Pendalton colluded with the monsters of the city to slaughter the city, provoking the three-headed black dragon to fight in Gaolin City, and a mage recorded it with a shadow stone.
Later, the dragon said that he wanted to ask for the heads of those two guys with millions of gold coins and legendary weapons. ”
......
Under Horn's operation, countless negative news about Pendleton quickly spread throughout the territory of the Bato Kingdom, and as the trade of the Shadow Dragon Guild gradually spread among the middle and upper levels of the surrounding kingdoms.
There are countless people who question it, and there are people who are convinced.
There are even conspiracy theorists, who have suggested that Pendleton and the dragonized monsters are in Pocelon City.
The most powerful evidence is that after the original massacre, Pendleton has been chasing the dragonized monster Heliride but has never caught it, and he is always one step slower than the other party in the pursuit of the mainland.
and the Lingering Stone of Gao Lin City, which was indeed recorded by a mage, just when Pendleton confronted Hua Ye and Mio, and Pendleton shot at Hua Ye, and then there was the battle with Double Dragon.
As the king of the kingdom of Bato, Parson III looked solemnly at the picture of the photographic stone in his hand.
Pendleton's behavior happens to be biased in favor of Heilly Ride.
"How did this fuck happen. "Parson III looked gloomy, this is his kingdom, the number of casualties in this battle is tens of thousands, and the city is seriously damaged, and it will take a lot of money to rescue the victims and rebuild it, which is undoubtedly worse for the current Bato Kingdom.
The fact that Pendleton had been hunting down Hillyleleder the City Slayer was known across the continent was now pointing to a collusion between the two.
"Your Majesty, now that the resentment of the people of Gaolin City is boiling, I ask Your Majesty to sanction Pendleton and seek justice for the dead. The Marquis of Alban said with a worried expression: "If this matter is not handled well, it will be a big blow to the kingdom." It's easy to cause turmoil, and secondly, the Snow Owl Kingdom can only be behind it. ”
"How could I not know these things!" Parson III rubbed his temples tiredly, "Not only Gaolin City, but many nobles have asked Pendleton to come out and explain clearly. ”
Today's Pendleton is still in the territory of the Kingdom of Bato, but the other party is a legendary powerhouse, not to mention the terrifying combat power, it is a problem for the other party to ignore him, once the conflict between the two sides occurs, it will have a far-reaching impact on the current kingdom.
"This matter can be complained to the Temple of Justice first, after all, Pendleton belongs to them.
This matter has seriously affected the reputation of the Temple of Justice, and it will definitely not sit idly by.
Why don't we talk to each other and make decisions? The Marquis of Alban, after thinking for a while, spoke.
"It's a good idea. "Palson III's eyes lit up, and he put pressure on him in the name of the kingdom, standing on the moral high ground and fearing that the Temple of Justice would not deal with this matter.
I'm afraid that if the news is spread to the Temple of Justice, the other party will definitely be more anxious than them, after all, if this matter is not handled well, it is very likely to become an excuse for other religious forces to crusade and take the opportunity to suppress the Temple of Justice.
The matter is expanded, and the matter is dealt with with with the power of everyone.
Palmer III drew up a letter with great vigor and handed it to the commander of the guards: "Send this letter to the headquarters of the Temple of Justice."
At the same time, Pendleton was invited to North Los Angeles and asked him to explain the matter of Gao Lincheng. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After receiving the letter, the Captain of the Guards immediately exited the study and transmitted the message to Drandon, the headquarters of the Temple of Justice.
......
With Horn fueling the situation, the news is getting more and more outrageous, but the finger is pointed at Pendleton.
Even the hostile forces of the Temple of Justice took the opportunity to tarnish their image and further escalate the situation.
Another piece of news from it is that the bounty order issued by Horn has passed through the platform of the continent-wide mercenary organization Scarlet Blade to send a hunt for the dragon-turned monster Hillyride to the whole continent.
As for Pendleton, the other party is a legendary powerhouse and belongs to the temple forces, and the Scarlet Blade doesn't want to cause a big problem for no reason.
Relatively speaking, no one cares about Hillylide's bounty!
Anyone can hunt it down, and countless powerful groups and individuals covet millions of gold coins and legendary weapons.
In particular, the mercenaries and adventurers in the Kingdom of Bato can be described as extremely emotional, as long as they find the exact whereabouts of the other party, they can get 100,000 gold coins, which is enough to make many people crazy.
Most importantly, it can be seen from the information released that Hillilede was also seriously injured in the battle, which is the biggest reason for coveting.
......
Pendleton and the other paladins walked through the city, and the roadside was greeted with strange looks, and even disgusted looks.
"You executioners, get out of the kingdom of Bato. ”
A displaced old man spat in disgust at Pendleton and the others, and many people hated these paladins during the battle in Gordon.
If it weren't for their meddling, how could so much have happened.
"Get out of here, you are not welcome in the Kingdom of Bato. ”
Facing everyone's disgusted eyes, Pendleton led the team out of the city without saying a word.
The towns they passed along the way looked disgusted and disgusted when they learned of their status as holy warriors.
This made the paladin who was following Pendleton a little uncomfortable.
"These idiots, the adults are obviously here to protect them. It's disgusting to treat us like this!"
"Alright, Nidan!" Pendleton said to the grumbling young paladin beside him, "Remembering what I was going to do, being misunderstood by others means that I have not done enough, and my behavior in the city of Gordon does need to be reflected."
When the matter is settled, I will leave the Temple of Justice and spend the rest of my life atoning for my sins!"
All the paladins were shocked when they heard this, and wanted to dissuade them, but they were stopped by Pendleton bitterly and guiltily: "That dragon is right, if I don't stick to my original idea, maybe I won't have the next life." ”
