Juliana’s workshop Chapter 23: How to make one person completely surrender
Paddin’s face was full of pain. It was obvious that Lulunaka’s words hit him very hard, even more uncomfortable than the shock of the screaming lady and Leo’s death. But he couldn’t refute, even the slightest resistance, and could only silently endure what Lulunaka said.
“The conflict between the Church of Light, the Church of the Holy Spirit, and the two denominations that also believe in the God of Light has a long history, probably for a thousand years.” Lulunaka continued to speak, circled around Padin, her eyes were not It’s like examining a person, more like observing an animal, a… bereavement dog. “I don’t know much now, but what impressed me recently is probably the expeditionary army organized by the Church of Illumination-was it decades ago or hundreds of years ago? I forgot-the expeditionary army hangs. With the banner of regaining the Holy Land, instead of going south to cross the sea to regain the holy city that has been in the hands of the pagans for hundreds of years, instead, he went east and went to the King’s Fort to attack the Double Eagle Empire with the same beliefs, and let the city’s people The fire burned for half a month, and the expeditionary army looted for half a month…Of course, for you, heretics are more abominable than heretics and need to be purified. I can understand this. Because of this, I Believe that even now, hatred has not faded so quickly, right? Or that the naive and ridiculous slogan of the unity of dual education has been brought up again?”
Lulunaka glanced at Padin’s face, smiled and shook her head, “I don’t think it’s like this, otherwise you won’t show such a ridiculous expression now… it looks like a The wild dogs on the street are really pitiful.”
She raised her cane, touched the front end of her cane to Padin’s forehead, and tapped it rhythmically. This insulting behavior did not arouse Padin’s anger and resistance, he just closed his eyes and let Lulunaka humiliate himself.
Lulunaka continued, “Why would a knight of the Church of Light come to this land of heretics and heretics, and still get mixed up with heretics? Not only that, but it is very likely to become a mage. Stooges—The Church of the Bright expels and monitors the mages. The Church of the Holy Spirit may be more tolerant and allow the masters to have a membership, but there will be no less disputes at all, but it will appear to be a little gentle. The knight, so easily signed a contract to be a running dog with the mages and merchants who are called the children of the devil by the Church of Light.”
Lulunaka’s cane is placed on Padin’s forehead, the interval between each stroke is the same, and the strength of each stroke is exactly the same. The percussion of the stick was like dewdrops falling on his forehead to Padin, and there was not much feeling, but Lulunaka’s words, like a sharp knife, were constantly poking and pulling out against his chest. Every sentence is the tip of a knife, reaching into the heart, about to stab his chest and heart.
”You look like you have hidden feelings and grievances, and your face is covered with’I was forced’.” Lulunaka said, “Let me guess, is it like this? You were arrested at the Church of Light. Forced to do something against your will, and you are unwilling to do it, and then go far away-I think about it, it should be related to witch hunting; after coming to the east of Yilan Continent, for some reason, you were forced to sign with someone else Unethical contract, to do that murder; in the end, because of being forced by the contract, to kill poor people like Miss Romiuona. Now, I have been forced to be my hired employee again, and I don’t know that it will change in the future. What kind of…”
Lulunaka’s cane stopped tapping, and turned to poking at Padin’s head, “Your life is really passive and drifting with the crowd. How many people have you killed so far? And you, do you have that skinny, go and tell those who died in your hands, everything you do is forced, not your intention. Do you have such a cheeky, noble Lord Knight?”
“I…I don’t pray for forgiveness from those people…” Padin reluctantly squeezed out a sentence, “I also know that these are irreparable crimes.”
“Of course you know.” Lulunaka smiled, “I reluctantly went to kill people. I felt that this was inappropriate, but I couldn’t resist. In the end, I waved the sword in my hand. I couldn’t be ruthless. , And you can’t be compassionate. Even killing is so half-hearted, it’s no wonder that your mood is so unstable, you get stuck at the level of the silver class, and become a little knight who can only look at people’s faces to do things. “
Lulunaka stopped her cane, put it back, and squatted down in front of Padin, looking directly at Padin. “Open your eyes.” She said to Padin.
Paddin opened his eyes and looked at Lulunaka closely.
“Paddin Edgar.” Lulunaka said, with an undiminished smile on her face, “You don’t want to get your hands dirty for your own faith, but devote yourself to what you believe in. Be the butcher and executioner with blood on his hands; and don’t want to stick to your heart, never do things that go beyond your bottom line, don’t want to be the saint or martyr…what do you think you are? Even doing dirty things is half-hearted. After doing half of it, I ran away. After changing places, I continued to be forced to do things I didn’t want to do.”
Lulunaka’s hand was placed on Padin’s cross-sword, and her fingers stroked the silver-white sword. The cold touch made her squint her eyes, looking quite comfortable, and she didn’t worry that Padin would swing the cross sword and cut off her fingers. “The mercenaries are more ethical than you, noble Mr. Edgar-they are willing to risk their lives for money, and you? You are not even willing to get your hands dirty for your own beliefs, but they have been distracted. All kinds of things are bound, and continue to repeat the killings against their will, not knowing where to go… Why do people like you feel that they are still knights?”
”A knight who has no faith and no master, what is it, is it a clown or a dog?”
“Enough.” Padin’s lips and brows were shaking, his expression extremely painful. “My lord is here, please don’t say any more…Don’t let my lord see a soul as ugly as me…”
Lulunaka returned from a squatting posture to a standing posture, looking down at Padin with her head down, “So, what should you do?”
Paddin held the cross sword in both hands, held it high above his head, and handed it to Lulunaka. His hand was trembling, and even the crossed sword was shaking. The silver-white sword body seemed to have dimmed a bit~IndoMTL.com~Paddin Edgar, finally succumbed. In front of Lulunaka, he not only lowered his head, but also gave up his dignity as a knight.
Starting today, there will be no more silver knights who use cross swords.
“Very good, that’s weird.” Lulunaka took the cross sword and held it together with the cane, and then reached out and touched Padin’s head, “You can compare to Ward It’s much better. Ward didn’t let me worry about it, and I couldn’t figure out whether I was the master or it was the master.”
Resting in a circle on the top of the carriage shed, Ward seemed to hear his master’s words, raised his head, sneezed, and then put his head back on his back. It seems that even if the owner speaks badly, it is not a very important thing for this artificial dog, and it is not as important as his own rest-although for an artificial dog, it is already possible to sneeze and need to rest. It’s a very strange thing.
“It’s okay that I spent so much time, Mr. Edgar.” Lulunaka smiled, “Compared to a knight, you have a more suitable job to do. For example, running errands for me is better than To kill some innocent people is stronger, are you right?”
Padin didn’t answer, just lowered his head and put his hands on his knees.
“Don’t forget to take off your conspicuous chain mail. Fortunately, you don’t have a knight’s robe, otherwise I will have to let you burn the unpleasant things by yourself. “Lulunaka said this, patted her head, “Oh, I have forgotten, how can you, a helpless dog rider in the water, still have a burqa? It has a master. You don’t have something that a dog has.”
When Padin started to take off her chain mail, Lulunaka walked to Olga and the others.
