It was his first time here, but as a pagan.They passed through the glorious and holy basilica, and Noah was taken to the apse, where the clergy in the Temple of Light looked at him in amazement, after all, the missionary black robe he was wearing was very conspicuous.This is the dark cultist's accomplice from last night.Why did he rebel against the Church of Light?
Such people are even more terrible than the believers of the dark church!
He has failed the favor of the God of Light for him!
The Knight of Judgment snorted coldly and pushed Noah through an iron door.The guards on both sides opened the iron door, a heavy grinding sound sounded, the sun shone in through the iron gate, Noah stepped into the iron gate, heard a bang, the iron door closed behind him.The sunlight turns into a narrow slit and then disappears.In front of him was a long corridor, with diagonal torches on the left and right, illuminating the square inch.There was a damp, musty and bloody smell in the air, and he heard his own footsteps and a faint cry ahead.After walking through the corridor, there was a square room, in which was a table with two bottles of high concentration, several torture instruments with teeth and claws hanging on the wall, and a jar of water, which was covered with blood and strange pieces of meat.At the table sat two knights of the Judgment in armor, with the strong smell of alcohol on their bodies, and they looked at Noah with gloomy eyes, as if aiming at a prey.Hold him and the dark cultist together for trial tomorrow.Said the Knight of Judgment behind Noah.The man sitting at the table pouted in disappointment, which meant that nothing could be done to the new sinner today.I won't say much about the dark church, but pay attention to yourselves.The Knight of Judgment admonished the two of them: You know how long we have been preparing to capture the liaison, and if the liaison dies here, you two should not try to escape.Yes, we know.The two replied with a slight drunkenness.The Judge Knights looked at them with some disgust and left, the Judge Knights who served in the prison were not strictly speaking, they were rarely trained, their fighting qualities were extremely low, and they had little firm will.After he left, one of them looked at Noah and said, "Hand over your belongings first."
This is the first step in entering the prison, first to collect the property of the criminal, the two trial knights are already familiar with the road, this is their opportunity to grab the property, the rest is to torture a little more, the big head is still in the hands of the trial knights outside.In their minds, the preacher must have been frightened stupid.Noah took out the book of Light from his bosom and said, "The only thing I have on me is this book."
The two Knights of Judgment looked at each other and laughed, one of them said, "Your betrayal of the God of Light is already a heinous crime, do you even want to commit the crime of deception and concealment?"
He stepped forward and was about to dig Noah's cuffs, where the missionary's money bags were kept.Noah turned sideways slightly, dodging his hand, the trial knight was stunned, he didn't expect anyone to resist, he sneered: I still think I am a missionary!
Two Judgment Knights gathered around him, one reaching out to trap Noah, and the other circling behind him.They were not the slightest wary of missionaries, and no one understood how weak and powerless missionaries were better than the Knights of Judgment.As soon as Noah dodged, the Knight of Judgment in front of him pounced, and then he raised the "Holy Book of Light" in his hand and smashed it towards the Knight of Justice's neck, and the force of extreme precision made the Knight of Judgment faint instantly.Seeing this, the other Knight of Judgment directly took out his weapon, but before he could react, a violent force smashed into his head.The Knight of Judgment suddenly went blank in his mind, spun dizzily in a circle, and fell to the ground.The brief confrontation that could not be called a battle took place in just two seconds, and Noah placed the fainted Judgment Knight on a stool, then picked up another dazed Judgment Knight with one hand and slapped him in the face.The Judge Knight had just come to his senses, and when he saw Noah, who had a calm face, his pupils widened in horror, and he was about to scream when he opened his mouth.Noah slapped it upwards and slapped the knight's cry for help back into his stomach.The Knight of Judgment trembled, and Noah crouched in front of him, pinched his chin with one hand, and whispered: Be quiet, make any noise, and I will kill you.If you know what to do, you nod.The Knight of Judgment nodded hurriedly.Noah let go of his hand, and the Knight of Judgment did not scream again, he smiled and asked, "Do you think I am a dark cultist?"
The Knight of Judgment shook his head frantically.Even if he thought it was, even if there were countless innocent people in this prison, and they were charged with various crimes before he died, the Judge Knight would not dare to say that Noah was a dark cultist at this time.No, I am.Noah said.Knight of Judgment: ?!
No, what's going on?!
Cultists of the Dark!
As a relative of a minor nobleman, he spent a lot of money to enter the Church of Light to mix this position, and he has always lived by making some oil and water, never thinking that he would meet a real dark cultist!
Just now, I put a curse on you.No matter where I am, a thought can kill you at any time.Noah smiled deeply, and looked at the Judge Knight with dark pupils: If you don't believe me, you can try?
The Knight of Judgment's legs trembled, panting for breath, and with the violent gasp, he felt a tearing pain in his chest, and a faint trace of blood swelling in his throat.He was about to cry in fear, and looked at Noah sincerely, wanting to express himself.I see, in that case, let's have a good talk.Noah stood up, grabbed the Judge Knight's shoulder with one hand, and dragged him to the stool to sit down.Noah stared at him and said, "Do you know what just happened?"
The Knight of Judgment stared blankly at him.Noah stretched out his hand, picked up the wine on the table, brought it to his lips, and said: You and your companion were drunk just now, so there was a big fight, and then a fight.The Judge Knight understood, and quickly nodded, yes, he had a fight with his companion just now, now send me to the cell, let me see my accomplice.Noah tugged at the corners of his mouth: The liaison of the Dark Church!
After walking through this small boxy room, there is a dark passageway, and on either side are cages, which are crammed with all kinds of people.Noah heard their wails or weeping, but many more of the prisoners had numb pupils and dull expressions, as if they had lost all hope.The air was filled with the stench of blood and rotting corpses, damp and sticky dirt beneath your feet, and rats and bugs hiding in the shadows.And above them, there is a glorious temple of light.Noah lowered his eyes slightly, he knew these things.But the pain that has never been seen with one's own eyes, the pain that has not been seen, is always vague and distant, and it is comforting to stay out of it.The Knight of Judgment led him forward, like a guide.They went all the way to the innermost point, and the air was colder and more damp, except for the creepy sound of rodents.Then I'm in.Noah strode in, and the Knight of Judgment hesitated outside for a moment before locking the door.Daniel was alone in the cell, and he had not been seen for the night, he was much more emaciated than before, with some scars on his body, and he was wearing a torn robe, and his body was empty.When he saw someone come in, he looked up, then he was stunned and jumped up in fright.It's you?!
Daniel said incredulously as he looked behind Noah, the Judge Knight had already left.Of course it's me, Lord Owen.Noah raised his eyelids: Or rather, the liaison of the Dark Church?
Daniel sat down in a daze, and said a little dejectedly: "They have arrested you too, and someone saw you get out of my carriage."
Noah found a place to sit down and said, "So, you came to me to avoid people's eyes and ears and to sneak into the city."
That's right, I'm the liaison for the church.Daniel wiped his face and pulled the wound on his body, and he gasped: it was a trap they quickly found me, and luckily I hadn't met the cultists yet, so I was the only one who was caught.They didn't kill me, naturally because they wanted to get the whereabouts of other cultists from me.Noah said lightly: It seems that you haven't said anything, and the only dark cultist they have captured is me.Daniel was silent.Noah suddenly asked, "Are you a dark cultist?"
Daniel didn't answer immediately, and after a while, he said: I am the contact Noah asked: What you said on the road before is all false?
Not.Daniel said with a little emotion: I am indeed a businessman, I have always been, and still is.My family is indeed the Owen family who was expelled from the center of the royal capital.After leaving the royal capital, my father died of anger and illness, and I inherited his identity, after which, I left everything behind and became a merchant.Noah asked softly, "Then how did you become the liaison of the Dark Church?"
In fact, internally, they don't call themselves the Dark Church, but the Chaos Church, and their god is the God of Chaos, also known as the God of Heaven and Earth.Daniel looked at him, then at the dark cages around him, and in his ears was a voice of mourning: And for me, this is also a business, except that what I have invested in this time is a power hidden in the darkness, and the reward I get is the tearing of the Church of Light.Chapter 19 The sun shone through the cracks in the clouds, and shimmered through the stained-glass windows in the solemn and sacred church.In the damp and dark dungeon under the church, Noah and Daniel sat opposite each other, and after calming down, Daniel appeared decisive and abrupt, and Noah asked: What does a liaison do?
I don't know if it's because of Noah's tricks, Daniel has all the questions to answer Noah's questions, he thought for a while, and said: I use my identity as a traveling merchant to deliver news for them, and provide some financial support for their actions.Did you come to Banyaf because they had any activities in Banyaf?
Daniel was silent for a while, and said, "I can't tell you but the followers of the Chaos Church are not ordinary heretics, they have strong beliefs and execution, and they are extremely united internally, and their power has developed rapidly over the years.Noah asked, "You said you are not a believer in the Chaos Church, why are they willing to give you the task?"
This is the wonderful thing about the Chaos Church, their god is an objective concept, and I don't have to believe in a specific god.Daniel: So, if I had to choose between the Church of Light and the Church of Chaos, I would choose the Church of Chaos.Noah silently thought that, in fact, Daniel would not choose any of them.He was a pure businessman and a true aristocrat, acting only for his own benefit.So he didn't say anything about Daniel's words, he lowered his head, his fingers clasped together, and kneaded his knuckles.In the midst of this silence, Daniel said, "Mr.
Missionary, I can see that you are different from other missionaries.You have a righteous heart, and you are very strong.What you want to understand is not the struggle between the nobles, but how the commoners lived.Noah smiled: You are also a kind and honest person.Daniel smiled bitterly and sighed: I don't have a choice.Mr.
Missionary, I still don't know your name, maybe we can get acquainted again.I'm a traveling merchant, liaison and investor in the Chaos Church, Daniel Middot; Irving.Daniel said: I have never abandoned my father's glory, and one day, I will return to the royal capital with the coat of arms of the Owen family.Compared to Daniel's impassionedness, Noah only said briefly: I am Noah · Abbush.Daniel looked at him, and his eyes gradually shining: Noah, as a missionary of the Church of Light, you have been exposed to the church since you were a child, and no one knows the filth and depravity of the church better than you.Noah said calmly, "But because of this, the Church of Light has grown stronger.This is only temporary, and tyranny and greed cannot survive forever.Sooner or later, it will be overthrown by more powerful forces, such as the Church of Chaos.Daniel licked his lips: but, until then, we can make the right choice.Noah, you don't believe in the God of Light, you believe in the truth.Noah looked up at him, his pupils like a streamer of light in the dark space.You believe in the real life, how people live, what they eat, where they sleep, how they harvest, how they create wealth, how they multiply, what kind of will they have, and the Chaos Church will present you with a more real world.Where there is light, so does darkness.Noah raised an eyebrow and asked, "You want me to join the Chaos Church?"
I just want you to know about it, and I will never interfere with your choice.Daniel shrugged: Actually, I think you're a good fit to join the Chaos Church.Like me, you don't believe in any gods.Noah interjected decisively: I believe in power.I never intended to leave the Church of Light.In the midst of the long conversation, the temperature gets cooler and lower, which means that the day is almost over.Some of the people in the cells were taken away by the Judge Knights, and others were brought in.The wails of those people reached Daniel's ears, and he couldn't help but say: This is the Church of Light, which they are so unscrupulous!
Noah held the copy of the "Holy Book of Light" and asked without raising his head: "Your Excellency Daniel, how can you guarantee that when the Chaos Church becomes the main faith, it will not become like this?"
They fell into a long silence again, with both Daniel and Noah pondering their own questions.The darkness soon passed, and as a ray of sunlight peeked through the cracks in the stone, and with the crisp and crisp sound of footsteps, a knight of judgment stood before them, the same one who had arrested Noah yesterday.Noah thinks that he should be a knight chief.Bring it out and send it to the Inquisition!
Today is the day of the trial of Daniel and Noah.When the sun fell on his skin, creating a slight warmth, Aldrich realized that it was already dawn.More than any other sound, he heard the tearing sound of a whip whipping against a human body.Aldrich looked over to see a Neilbrook man dressed in cloth and holding a long whip, whipping a slave lying on the ground who was also a Nielbrook slave.Get up for me!
Neil Brook shouted: Lazy again!
The slaves on the ground twitched their hands and feet, struggled to get up through the dense whips, and then walked out of the house with deep and shallow feet.Aldrich and the other slaves also walked slowly, his original clothes had been snatched from him, and his scarred upper body was □□, and the Neilbrook had beaten him in greeting when he had been sent to Viscount Kurov's farm the previous day.All day and all night of toil, the slaves were soaked in the mud, and tsetse flies and leeches jumped on them to suck the blood.Aldrich saw a slave mowing the grass, and suddenly he fell to the ground, covered with blood-sucking insects, with only a few bones left in his body, and his expression was numb, as if he could no longer feel pain.
