Chapter 325: Sin
On the streets of Hormuz, the capital of the Kingdom of Strade.
The guards in dark clothes and holding wooden sticks were nervously holding improvised wooden shields and retreating step by step.
And in front of them were civilians dressed in all sorts of linen clothes.
Some of these civilians were holding small flags, some were holding banners, and their eyes showed excitement and excitement.
"Down with the Cool Evil God......"
"We don't pay taxes......"
"King Enrique stepped down......"
β......β
The loud voice shouted to the sky, and under the expression of gradual fanaticism, these guards, who had been able to easily suppress the peasants, gradually retreated, not daring to make any attack on these peasants.
Ever since the victory of the Church of Agriculture in Burgunchester, there have been demonstrations of people all over the Kingdom of Strade.
At first, the guards tried to suppress the peasants, but then the pastor of the agricultural church came to show them what it meant to do the right thing.
Since then, no guards have dared to attack the demonstrators.
"When did these peasants have such courage, and none of the nobles showed up, nor did the professionals under them. In the distance, the ornately robed mage whispered to his companion as he watched what was happening here.
"Behind these peasants is the agitation of the agrarian church, as for the aristocracy...... Those nobles are better than anyone else, and they can run faster than anyone else when they encounter danger. His companion lifted his chin and said in a contemptuous tone, "The nobles in Burgunchester who are on the wrong side have already frightened them, and they have left Hormuz except those who cannot and cannot run." β
"When the nobles left, the professionals under their command naturally followed. β
The temple of the cool officials in Burgunchester was slaughtered, and the nobles who were on the wrong side were accidentally slaughtered by professionals who came out of nowhere.
On the surface, the people of the agricultural church vowed to find out, but everyone knew who did it.
"These churches flaunt their kindness every day, and they do things in private, one by one. The mage who spoke first said indignantly, "But those foolish people have been deceived by them, and are willing to act as a dog of the church and give their faith to the gods. β
His companion was silent for a moment,
"Actually, we don't do the same, for the sake of materials, cooperate with nobles......"
After saying a little he closed his mouth and looked into the distance, and the guards with wooden sticks were forced to the gate of the palace by the demonstrators, and there was no way to retreat.
"I don't know what decision the people above will make, whether to protect the king or give up and leave ......"
It was wise to abandon the king and leave, but the impact would be too bad for the other kings to know who would support an organization that would abandon themselves at any time in the event of danger and protect the king...... How could they be opponents of the church?
"Wait for the order from above, maybe we will die here today, I hope that my soul will not fall into hell or abyss by then......"
As he spoke, his heart fluttered.
Although the Underworld is an eternal resting place, it is far more difficult to enter the Underworld to sleep than to ascend to the upper plane or fall to the lower plane.
As they spoke, the gates of the royal palace opened in the distance.
A man wearing a hood and covering his face with a strange mask appeared above the crowd of demonstrators, and he chanted in a deep voice,
β...... Fear!"
Suddenly, all the people saw that the people in front of them were covered with white, wriggling eyes, and the black pupils on the eyes were quietly looking at them, and inexplicable fear emerged, calling back the sanity of these people who were gradually fanatical.
But at this moment, a prayer of prayer rang out from the crowd,
"Praise be to our lord the god of agriculture......"
The divine light spreads in all directions with the sound as the center.
The fear in the hearts of the people who were illuminated by the light quickly dissipated, and the people in their sight also changed back to their original appearance, but they still remembered what had just happened after breaking free from the fear, for a while.
After doing this, the priest came out of the crowd and looked calmly at the masked man, "God teaches us to have mercy on the weak, to protect the believers, unknown professions, you have made a move against the weak, against the teachings of my God, please follow me to the temple to pray for atonement." β
"I'm weak so I'm reasonable?"
The masked man sneered, raised his left palm, and flames rose into the sky, distorting the air around him.
The guards around them avoided this scene one after another, for fear that they would be caught in flames and burned to death.
The masked man seized the opportunity, his body quickly became transparent, and then disappeared in front of the priest.
The ...... pastor didn't know what to say for a while.
In the palace, King Enrique, who saw this, became furious.
He paid a huge price to get this man to disperse the crowd, although he knew that even if he dispersed the crowd this time, there would be a next time, and as long as the agricultural church did not fulfill its demands for a day, it would continue to push things forward.
But for Enrique, it would be good to delay for a while, even if it was for a day, and maybe in a day his foreign secretary would be able to convince the Church of Dawn to intervene.
But it turned out that he only shot once and ran away?
"Your Majesty. β
Wearing dark high boots, the Earl of Shostm appeared behind King Enrique, who had previously remained humble to Enrique, and now he had a little more flamboyance, "Accept the will of the people, step down from the throne, and I promise you that you can leave the kingdom of Strade in peace." β
"Otherwise, you'll kill yourself. β
King Enrique glared at Count Shosterm, and if the power in his hands had not betrayed him and had not been purged by the agricultural church, this Count of Shosterm would have died long ago.
"I am a believer in tyrants,"
"It is precisely because you are a believer in tyrants that you have a choice. Count SΓΈsterm said without hesitation, "Otherwise, you will be killed by the adventurers passing by." β
Looking at Count SΓΈsterm, King Enrique said angrily, "I don't abdicate, I don't believe you dare to kill me." β
"Alas, why did you take my wife? Count Shosterm sighed inexplicably.
????
King Enrique was stunned for a moment, and before he could remember when he had taken the lady of Shostum, out of the corner of his eye, a large, rough hand appeared on his neck.
Then there was a click, and the world went black.
The Count of Thesetham, who had broken the king's neck, stood in front of the king's corpse, drew a symbol on his chest, and gently confessed, "Great god of agriculture, I am guilty." β
