"Arrest this heretic who is deceiving the world!"
The black-robed priest looked at Seb coldly and ordered the trial knights.
The eyes of the poor people present changed and they immediately became commotion.
Led by the old man who was once a professional, many people took the initiative to protect Seb, staring at the Judgment Knight who rushed into the church with angry eyes.
At the same time, I could faintly hear someone cursing:
"Bah! The lackey of the Eternal Church!"
Seeing the behavior of the poor, Saibo was slightly startled, and an indescribable feeling emerged in his heart.
He never expected that these poor people, most of whom were not even professionals, would actually be standing in front of him at this moment!
At this time, a thin voice came from behind Saibo:
"Lord Cyber, follow me. The Eternal Church is hunting down life believers who preach. I know there is a secret path behind the church. Come with me and escape through the back door!"
That was a thin young man.
While hiding the fear in his eyes, he boldly pulled up the corner of Seb's clothes and pointed to the back of the church.
Cyber's vision became more complicated.
He looked at the poor people around him and found that many of them were hinting at him to escape quickly with their eyes, and moved their bodies again to block him.
"Humph, arrest those who block the church's law enforcement and take them away! Those who resist...kill them on the spot!"
Looking at the poor people’s little actions, the black-robed priest’s eyes darkened and he said coldly.
The commotion in the crowd became even greater.
At the same moment, the Judgment Knights drew out their long swords, pointing the swords directly at the poor people blocking Saibo.
Their expressions were expressionless and their aura was overwhelming. When their aura completely burst out, even Cyber's pupils suddenly shrank.
These trial knights... are all gold professionals!
The poor people looked in fear, but no one left.
The black-robed priest's face became even more ugly.
He gave an order and gave the order to the Judgment Knights to take action, but as soon as the Judgment Knights took a step, a high voice came from the crowd:
"Wait!"
It's cyber.
Ignoring the looks of the poor, he gently pushed their hands away and walked out of the crowd.
His expression is calm:
"I'll go with you, don't hurt civilians."
"Master Cyber!"
The poor people let out a burst of exclamations.
However, Saibo just raised his hand to stop them:
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
As he spoke, he turned around and smiled at everyone:
"Don't be impulsive. Please always remember that as long as there is light in your heart, there is hope for the future."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to the Judgment Knights and captured them without mercy.
"Tie him up!"
The black-robed priest ordered.
The Judgment Knights swarmed up and tied Sebo with magic-forbidden chains.
"Master Cyber!"
The poor people behind them started to stir again.
Sebo turned around, smiled at them, and shook his head.
"Take it away!"
The black-robed priest waved his hand.
After speaking, the Judgment Knights roughly lifted Seb's arms and took him out...
Being taken out of the ghetto by the Judgment Knights, Cyber was locked up with long iron chains by them.
Although it was daytime, there were not many people on the streets of the city. Only the Judgment Knights and Eternal Priests in silver armor were coming and going, searching for something.
From time to time, there can be the sound of fighting with curses, the cries of children, and the screams of women.
Farther away, you can still see some figures locked up like him.
The other party was also escorted by the Judgment Knights, and Cyber looked at each other.
They looked at each other and soon saw the bright green names above each other's heads.
Cyber:......
He immediately understood that this was probably because the Eternal Church could no longer stand the instigation they had caused in the Human Empire during this period, and began a large-scale search for trouble-making players in the city.
Soon, players who were preaching in various parts of the city were arrested and put in chains.
They were pushed roughly by the Judgment Knight and escorted to the city square.
During the whole process, there was not much resistance from players.
Includes cyber.
There is no way, the enemies who come here are powerful, and with the power of cyberspace, they are destined to be unable to escape.
And if there is a fight, there is no doubt that the poor will be affected.
Most of the poor people in the slums have become life believers. As the goddess's chosen one, he has the responsibility and obligation to protect them...
He was just arrested, he would probably die, but he would be a good man again one minute later.
Maybe, because of his martyrdom, he will gain a few more fanatical followers...
Hmm...
If you think about it this way, you seem a little too shameless.
Recalling the worried eyes of the poor just now, Saibo felt a little ashamed.
However, judging from the expressions of other players, he doubted that they might have the same idea as him...
A total of twenty players were arrested.
These are also all the players who choose to preach in this city.
In the city square, the stakes have been prepared.
Seeing the burning stake, Saibo immediately knew what their fate would be.
However, when he couldn't help but look at the other players, he found that after their eyes were blank for a moment, they quickly turned into weird, and then changed from weird to righteous...
Many people raised their heads and held their chests high, with proud expressions, just like heroes who died generously.
Cyber:……
Damn it.
These drama queens.
Seb's face was so thin that he couldn't help but want to cover his face, but he soon realized that he was being **** and couldn't move.
The next moment, he was roughly tied to one of the stakes by the trial knights.
More than twenty players were tied up, and at the same time, the same number of Judgment Knights came in front of them.
Each Judgment Knight holds a torch in his hand and a bucket of translucent liquid in front of him.
A pungent smell came over, and Seb recognized it. The liquid was an extremely flammable high-energy magic material refined by the alchemist in "Elf Kingdom", called magic fuel.
And soon, with curses, civilians were brought to the square one after another by the trial knights.
Saibo's eyes narrowed, because he saw many poor people among whom he preached.
However, the trial knights did not harm them, but simply took them to the execution ground and forced them to watch.
Soon, more and more civilians gathered here, filling the square.
They stared at the Judgment Knights with angry eyes, daring to be angry but afraid to speak.
At the same time, Seb also noticed many familiar eyes on him.
"Master Cyber!"
In the crowd, worried shouts came from the believers.
Facing their anxious eyes, Saibo sighed slightly and smiled warmly at them.
At this time, the black-robed priest stepped onto the wooden platform of the square.
His eyes swept around the crowd coldly, then took out a piece of parchment and read coldly:
"According to the Pope's decree: Life believers confuse the world, bring trouble to the world, and spread heresies..."
"The eternal name cannot be blasphemed, and the majesty of our Lord cannot be challenged. Now, by the decree of the Holy See, life is given to believers, and pagan sinners are judged - death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved to the Judgment Knights, and the Judgment Knights poured the magic fuel in the barrel onto the players.
The crowd of onlookers once again let out waves of exclamations and called out the names of the players.
The order at the scene suddenly became a little chaotic.
Facing those familiar eyes, Saibo mustered up his courage, thickened his skin, raised his head like other players, and looked at death as if he were home...
But soon, he discovered that his face was still too thin.
I saw several players beside him suddenly raised their heads high and shouted proudly:
"Death is not terrible, as long as the faith is true, kill the preachers and the people who come after you!"
"Everyone is destined to die. It may be lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai!"
"I believe in life when I die, and my death will be glorious!"
"Although I am dead, my faith will last forever! For justice, for freedom, and for a better future!"
"Praise nature, praise life, praise the great goddess Eve!"
"Ula——!"
Listening to their impassioned roars, the crowd of onlookers became commotion, and many people shed tears of emotion.
They clenched their fists, gritted their teeth, and looked sad.
Cyber:......
Ah...
After listening to the words of the players around him, he just wants to die quickly.
It seems like he is going to see himself appear in the opening plot animation again...
The flames ignited, and in the blazing light and intense embarrassment, Cyber's vision fell into darkness...
……
Autumn 1072 of the Eternal Era.
The Eternal Church launched a large-scale search for the Life Believers preaching in the territory. All the Life Believers preachers who were captured were tied to the stake and burned to death.
For a time, a large number of players who sneaked into the Holy Mania Empire and the Kingdom of Iris to do priest missions all experienced the taste of fire...
During the search, the Judgment Knights encountered resistance from a large number of life believers, mostly poor people who had converted.
However, after several **** suppressions, it gradually became silent.
However, although the riots of the pagans have been suppressed, undercurrents have begun to surge faintly in various cities in the human kingdom...
In the cities dedicated to the Eternal Lord, the number of believers who enter the Eternal Church to pray every day has not only not increased, but has become increasingly rare.
At the same time, a group of strange figures also ushered in La Lona, the capital of the Northern Aires Territory.
"This is La Lona, one of the few cities in the entire empire that allows believers of other religions to preach freely."
"John, the favored one of God, of Life Church, preached here. A large number of believers come here to visit him every day..."
“Especially after the Eternal Church began to persecute life preachers, more and more life believers are fleeing here.”
“You don’t know Lord John yet? Many people call him St. John. He came here a few months ago and has been helping the poor, healing the pain, and preaching the faith of the Life Church in La Lona. The reputation is very high..."
The young man who led the way said.
Frank, who was riding a white horse, nodded slightly and asked curiously:
"I've heard of him to some extent, and many people here seem to respect him. Maybe... I'll pay him a visit in a few days."
"Just...can you preach at will here? If I remember correctly, Adam, the favored one of the Eternal Church, lives here in seclusion, and this place still falls under the jurisdiction of the empire..."
After speaking, he tossed the other party a silver coin again.
"Thank you, Lord Knight!"
The young man took the silver coin excitedly and explained:
"Sir Knight, you are from the north and may not know the history here. Lalorna was once a city built by dwarves and humans. In the past, the mainstream belief here was the dwarf church."
"Although it later came under the rule of the empire, the mainstream faith was still the Dwarf Church. Until the Dwarf Church gradually declined... the Eternal Church took over the mainstream."
"However, because this is still nominally the belief scope of the Dwarf Church, the Eternal Church has not interfered with the beliefs here, and the Dwarf Church has always been very open and does not care about other churches preaching here..."
After listening to the boy's words, Frank was thoughtful.
After they entered La Lona and found the church of the Eternal Church, the young man left.
Looking at the sparsely crowded Eternal Church in front of him, Frank’s eyes were filled with emotion.
Walking along the way, he noticed, even without deliberately observing, that the Eternal Church seemed to be getting deserted everywhere.
Getting off his horse, he entered the church accompanied by his bodyguard Roland and handed over a handwritten letter of visit.
However, when the pastor in charge of the reception saw his name and introduction, his originally enthusiastic expression quickly cooled down:
"Frank? Are you the abandoned son of the Rosen family?"
Frank frowned slightly.
He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and nodded gently:
"Yes, but I have nothing to do with the Rosen family."
The pastor shook his head:
"Let's go. Master Adam is very busy and is not in the church right now."
"Can I wait here? In other words, when will Lord Adam come back? I can choose a day to visit..."
Frank asked.
The pastor's expression became more and more impatient. He glanced at Frank and sneered:
"Do you really want me to say it clearly? A sinner who has been deprived of his noble title still wants to see Lord Adam?"
"You!"
Personal guard Roland glared at the priest.
However, he was quickly stopped by Frank.
Frank's original smile also faded a bit. He took a deep breath and said:
"I am not visiting as a noble, but as a mercenary, or in other words, as an imperial civilian."
"That's even worse. Lord Adam is very busy. Except for the nobles who have made reservations in advance, he will not meet other guests, let alone ordinary people. You'd better go."
The priest shook his head.
Frank frowned slightly, but quickly covered it up.
"Really...can't we visit?"
He raised his head and looked at the pastor seriously.
The pastor sneered:
"You were once a nobleman, and even though you said you were gone, you are still here asking me again and again, where is your dignity?"
Frank was silent.
After a moment, he sighed and nodded:
"I understand."
"Roland, let's go."
As he spoke, he turned around and walked in the direction he came from.
As soon as he took a few steps, he heard the pastor chuckle again, his tone full of disdain:
"A sinner who has been deprived of his title still wants to see Lord Adam? Oh...what a wishful thinking..."
Frank's body paused slightly.
Then, keep moving forward.
However, the clenched and unclenched fists showed that he was not as calm as he appeared...
Personal guard Roland turned around and glared at the pastor fiercely. The pastor quickly covered his mouth, curled his lips, and looked away.
Then, Roland looked at Frank and couldn't help but ask:
"Sir Frank, are we still looking for an opportunity to visit God's Favorite Adam?"
Frank was silent for a moment and sighed:
"Let's go see the legendary John the Favorite of God first..."
