On the third day after arriving in the city, the old priest basically investigated the matter clearly.
After all, no matter how high-ranking he is in the church, although he is not at the top, he still has a basic understanding of the internal affairs of the church, and he also knows how to contact the secret agents and spies stationed in various cities by the church.
Furthermore, the situation in this city is very serious now. Basically, many locals know something about it. Therefore, he found a few hidden clues and met with several reliable heresy trials through his connections. After the committee members spent money to consult with some well-informed people from all walks of life, they basically had a rough idea.
But...
The more he knew, the more worried the old priest became!
As a result, he didn't go anywhere that day. He just stayed in the living room of the top-floor suite of the hotel he booked with a solemn expression, wondering what he was thinking about.
So, as soon as Anne got up in the afternoon, she naturally saw the old man who was sitting on the sofa in the living room of the suite and the little sister Clete who was standing aside with a pot of hot water and was a little at a loss. Two people.
"??"
(.)
"What's wrong with you guys? Aren't you going to go out and play today?"
(=^▽^=)
Annie, who felt a little strange, walked over and asked curiously.
Yesterday and the day before yesterday, she saw that the two of them were very busy, and she could only see these two guys coming back at night. But now, it was still broad daylight, and the two of them were sitting in the living room, sighing, and the pair of Anne It's really strange.
"..."
Clete looked at Anne, then at her father, then opened her mouth, but in the end she said nothing.
"cough!"
"Isn't it because of the lord and count here?"
He sighed deeply, and then, seeing that Annie still looked very curious about the baby, the old priest paused and simply told him what he had investigated in the past two days.
It turned out that, according to his investigation results, the demon entrenched in this city was not some guy hiding in the Religious Heresy Trial Committee as he had assumed before, but the lord himself!
The Religious Heresy Trial Committee and the religious knights have become nothing more than pawns of the other party and have to obey orders.
Many priests and knights who were unwilling to join in the conspiracy were either persecuted and disappeared, or they had to flee. The small number who escaped wrote a lot of informant letters and protest documents to the French King's Hall, so they With him and Clete coming here to conduct a secret investigation.
According to the information and descriptions he obtained, some of the habits of the lord of this place, that is, the earl, became less and less like a normal person.
Because, he discovered that the other party was actually keen on torturing and killing living people?
For example: the other party likes to cut and tear people like puppets, chop them into meat paste, twist their muscles and bones, create blood pools, disembowel them, disembowel them, cook them in oil and burn them, and other cruel punishments until they die.
Compared with the above atrocities, the abuse, cruelty and coercion of women have become somewhat insignificant.
Of course, the most important thing is that after the lord and count committed the above atrocities, all people, especially young women, will become his meals and be eaten. That is what makes the old priest What I find most shocking and horrifying is that it can no longer be simply described with words such as cruelty and cruelty, it is a living devil!
Therefore, now that he knew the seriousness of the matter, he sat here with a sad face and thought about how to go back and report and write a report.
After all, it involves a big lord, and the other party is also a count. His troops and forces are very strong. If he acts rashly, he might bring trouble to himself... Moreover, even if the French King's Hall accepts his report, But facing a count, I'm afraid he would find it difficult and would not dare to act rashly.
It was precisely because of that that he would struggle and hope to obtain more and more important things, such as direct evidence that the count was indeed a heretic or a demon. Only then would he be able to make a deal after he returned and force the French King's Hall to make a suitable disposal plan.
Unfortunately, at the moment, he doesn't have any good way to obtain that kind of evidence, so the investigation is directly in trouble.
"oh……"
(⊙o⊙*)
"Now that it's confirmed, then..."
(*^▽^*)
Anne was just about to say why she didn't just knock on the door, but she suddenly thought that the two guys in front of her were just ordinary people, and Uncle Gus, who was not an ordinary person, ran away again. Therefore, that kind of thing was very important to the old man in front of her There really aren't many choices.
"Then there's nothing we can do!"
ε=(ο｀*)))Alas
"Then you can just wait and see when that weird uncle Gus will take action against the demon count, and then you go get the evidence?"
(⊙⊙)
So Anne quickly changed her mind and suggested this.
Anyway, Anne is very sure that she will never interfere easily with things here, let alone help. Things here can only be handled by the people here. She just wants to verify her point of view. The reason why I followed that weird uncle Gus here was not to fight demons and be a good person!
"But……"
"We don't know when Brother Gus will take action again, that's why my father is like this."
Before the old priest with a sad face could explain, the man beside him sighed and said this.
"??"
∑(△｀)? !
"Did you just say 'again'?"
(゜-゜)
"In other words, have you ever seen that Gus do anything?!"
(▽)
After realizing a certain message that the other party wanted to convey, Anne couldn't help but be a little surprised, because she didn't know that there was such a thing at all. She only focused on eating, drinking and having fun these two days.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"Um!"
"Yesterday at noon, when Annie didn't get up, we went to watch an execution..."
Speaking of this, Clete seemed to remember some terrible scenes, so that her face suddenly became very ugly.
"us……"
"We saw a woman who was probably only a little older than me being executed..."
"In the name of the Heresy Investigation Committee."
"But we later found out from the younger brother of the woman who was executed that she was just a girl from an ordinary family, not a heretic at all, but they still executed her and beheaded her."
As she spoke, Clete couldn't help but shudder, and then gritted her teeth before continuing:
"Brother Gus showed up at that time, but we didn't dare to say hello to him because he directly clashed with the lord's men, killed many soldiers and provoked the lord."
"Then, in the chaos, we didn't know where he went."
"It's so terrible!"
"Annie, you don't know, I heard..."
"This month, in less than ten days, they have already executed five people, and they were all about my age. It's really terrible!"
Because she saw that kind of infiltrative scene, and the fact that the person who was hurt was similar to her own age, Clete had the illusion that something of the same kind had been hit, and she couldn't help but shudder again as she spoke.
"That's it..."
(**;)
Anne said that it did sound quite hateful.
It's a pity that she didn't see it yesterday. Otherwise, even if she didn't help, she would secretly cause some trouble for the bad guys, such as secretly setting a fire and burning down their lair castle or something?
"Father!"
"or……"
"How about we leave here?"
"Now that the investigation has been enough, let's go back and report directly to His Majesty the King of France and inform the other party of the situation here. I believe His Majesty the King of France will definitely intervene!"
"Otherwise, more people will..."
Every time I think about the fact that just a few days after a month, five people were tried and beheaded in the name of 'heresy'. I think about the young lives that were taken away by the devil in the name of 'justice' amid jealousy, despair and fear. Let's go, Clete couldn't help but feel angry despite her fear.
Then, in addition to fear and anger, she naturally wanted to go back as soon as possible and go with her father to accuse the demon count of many crimes in front of His Majesty the King of France!
"Well……"
"It's really dangerous here!"
"I heard…."
"Many suspected spies or monks who came here for pilgrimage have been arrested, but I just..."
Thinking that he had come to this city in the name of an ordinary priest and had taken the initiative to inquire about things in the past two days, the old priest couldn't help but show a very fearful expression.
"That's it!"
"Clette, let's stay for another two days to see the situation. If it doesn't work..."
"We will then……"
Benedict! Benedict!
"??"
At this moment, before the old priest could finish speaking, there were two strong knocks on the wooden door of the living room.
"Huh?"
"who is it?"
Hearing the knock on the door, Clete had to stop talking and quickly walked over and asked in a crisp voice through the wooden door.
"guest."
"We deliver food."
A somewhat dull and blunt answer came from outside.
"Meal delivery?"
"It seems we have already had lunch..."
Although she said that, considering that Anne had just gotten up and might need to eat, Claire didn't think much about it, directly pulled the door bolt and opened the thick wooden door.
The next second, it was beyond everyone’s expectation!
In addition to the nervous-looking hotel waiter, there were actually a large group of armored soldiers outside?
Clang! !
Then, when they saw the wooden door being opened, they all unsheathed their swords and were the first to place their swords on the neck of the helpless Clete, pushing her aside before rushing in one after another.
"!!"
"You, you guys!!"
Upon seeing this, of course the old priest's face changed drastically and he jumped up from his seat with a look of horror on his face.
"Yo!"
"Long time no see, old man..."
Then, before the old priest was ready to pretend to be calm and speak out to scold the rude soldiers, he unexpectedly discovered: a man dressed almost the same as him, wearing a priest's robe but with an extra white round cap. The skinny old man smiled sinisterly and appeared in the middle where the soldiers were surrounding him.
"Who are you……"
"Dar?"
"etc!"
"What do you want to do?!"
The old priest couldn't help being startled when he saw it was the other party. Then, he was about to say something, but he quickly reacted and took a breath with his eyes widened.
"you!!"
Obviously, the old priest knew that the other party's attitude was definitely not as simple as welcoming him or reminiscing with him, so he quickly thought of some of the worst scenarios.
"Are you on the same side as that devil?"
"Dar!"
"Are you crazy?!"
After subconsciously asking a question and getting what he wanted to know from the other person's face, the old priest naturally denounced him with righteous indignation.
Because he suddenly remembered that the Dharma King had sent people here before, but in the end nothing happened, and the reports written back by the other party said that there was nothing serious. But now, it seems that the problem also lies with the other party. On your body?
"I……"
"There's nothing I can do!"
"Old man, you really shouldn't be here..."
Facing the old priest's angry rebuke, the expression of the bad old man who was called 'Dal' and brought people here could not help but become a little lonely and he shook his head bitterly.
"you!!"
"You madman, I will accuse you of your atrocities to the King of Dharma!"
"You will definitely receive the severest punishment!"
"The burning rack in front of the Cathedral of the King's Hall will definitely reserve one for you, you degenerate villain!"
"God will punish you!!!"
Hearing the other party speak and actively admit it, the old priest became even more angry. While he spoke directly and continued to rebuke loudly, he also did not forget to condemn the other party in his words!
Unfortunately, he seemed to have forgotten that this was not the King's Hall, nor was it the territory of their church.
"..."
Sure enough, after listening to the old priest's words, the bad old man's expression instantly became ferocious.
"snort!"
"You have no chance to go back and complain to His Majesty the King!"
"superior!"
"Catch all these cultists!"
Then, seeing that the old priest was unaware of current affairs, Dar stopped pretending and waved his hand, causing the many soldiers he had brought to file out. Then, holding a sword in his hand, he looked at the angry old priest and the innocent-looking one. The playful little Annie was surrounded.
certainly!
Several soldiers surrounded the old priest, but there was only one soldier beside Anne who was watching impatiently.
"!!"
"what are you up to?"
"Am I a cultist?"
"Hahaha!"
"Dar, do you think the King's Hall will believe your words?!"
"You're dreaming!!"
Looking at the shining long sword and the ugly face of Dar, of course the old priest rebuked loudly again and continued to sarcastically, completely unaware of the situation he and his daughter were in now. The land is dangerous.
"of course not!"
"but……"
"What I caught today was just an old man pretending to be a priest and two heretical girls..."
"The unknown old man will die in prison tonight, and the heretic girl will be executed on the next execution platform!"
"No one will know you were here..."
After saying that, the sinister old man Dar waved his hand.
"!!"
The next second, the old priest whose face changed drastically before he could say anything, was punched down by the two soldiers, twisted his arms and pushed him to the ground so hard that he couldn't say a word.
"ah!!"
"Let, let me go!!!"
Immediately afterwards, Clete, who had had a sword on her neck from the beginning, widened her eyes and tremblingly exclaimed at her father. Then she was so frightened during the argument that she collapsed and sat down on the ground, letting herself go. The soldiers around her tied her up with ropes.
And when the soldier grabbed one of her arms with one hand and lifted her up easily, the hem of her skirt had already been wetted a small amount.
Obviously, he has barely experienced the world, and he also heard that he would be sent to the execution platform for execution. He thought of the innocent girl he saw yesterday who was beheaded, and thought that his turn would soon be in that terrible scene. Even though she had died once, Clete was still so frightened that she became incontinent.
At this time, seeing that two important suspects had been arrested, the soldier standing next to Anne impatiently stretched out his big hand towards Anne's neck.
"..."
(ω)
"Go away!!"
()
Having seen enough of the bad guys' performances, Annie finally started to move at this time.
ヽ(ヽ`д′)┌┛★)`з゜)
Ah da! !
She just turned around and kicked the chest plate of the soldier who was trying to grab her neck. She instantly left a deep footprint on the steel chest plate, and at the same time, the soldier didn't even have time to scream. The moment he was kicked out, he was kicked like a cannonball, which smashed through the top wall of the hotel behind him and flew out with broken masonry, sawdust, and blood.
boom! ! !
After a long time, a building with a windmill that was not known to be a mill or something else a hundred meters away was knocked down and made a roar.
As for the unlucky soldier who helped the devil commit evil, it was obvious that he would not survive under Anne's powerful kick.
"snort!"
o(^｀)o
After finishing all that, Annie clapped her hands and snorted arrogantly.
Are you kidding me? Who is she, Lady Queen Anne? How could she let such a cat and dog be picked up casually, and in such a disgusting way as to grab her neck and lift her up?
(.)
(●￣￣●)
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
And Anne's kick, of course, instantly caused everyone present, including the smug old priest Dahl who was just proud, the old priest who was arrested, the frightened Clete and the soldiers to all I was dumbfounded.
Of course, they had seen and heard of kicking people out of the wall, but a little girl, a little girl who looked to be only seven or eight years old with small arms and legs, could actually kick someone The strong plate-armored soldier, who weighed at least two hundred kilograms with his armor, was kicked out of the wall and flew hundreds of meters. Of course, this was the first time they had seen such an appalling thing.
"you……"
()
"Eh?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
At this time, Anne was about to say something, but she was surprised to find that far away from the hole she kicked out, that is, at the Earl Lord's castle, bursts of shouts rang out almost simultaneously. The noise and the sound of clashing weapons sounded like someone was attacking a fortress?
"..."
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
Annie, who took a closer look and knew that it was Gus who had done it, curled her lips, and then looked back at the group of bad guys in front of her who were staring at her with their mouths open.
"Hello!"
|ω)
"You must have done a lot of bad things, right?"
()
"So……."
乛乛
"Do you know that there is something in the world called the Vengeful Spirit?"
()
There are actually no vengeful spirits in this world, but now that those bad guys have provoked her, Lady Queen Anne, that might be the case.
"ha!"
(ψ｀▽′)o~
So, without waiting for those people to react, Anne waved her hand and extracted the remnants of the innocent souls of the city who were killed by the count, fused them and cast them with light, and then instantly turned them into a holy spirit of revenge. , and then he hit it directly into the body of Miss Crete, who was so big and still peed her pants.
Originally, Anne didn't want to intervene, but now she is being bullied to the point of being bullied. If she doesn't react, it will be unjustifiable. In addition, Miss Crete once said she wanted the Holy Light. Then she would have no choice but to give the other party a vengeful heroic spirit.
"!!"
"Yeah yeah yeah!!!"
A shrill scream sounded.
The next second, before anyone could react, Kraite's whole body burst out with bright golden light, and at the same time, his eyes and hair were almost energized. At the same time as the ropes were shattered, a pair of lights appeared behind him. Wings slowly floated into the mid-air in the living room of the hotel suite.
After a while, when she stopped screaming, she began to scan the surroundings mercilessly with her eyes that were transformed into energy and bursting with golden light.
"!!"
"!?"
"??"
Upon seeing this, the soldiers who were glanced at by that terrifying gaze and who had never seen such a magical scene were frightened in their hearts. They couldn't help but retreat to the wall in a noisy manner and subconsciously held their swords on guard.
"this……"
"you……"
At this time, the skinny old man who had been so proud just now was so stunned that he didn't even take any action. He just stared wide-eyed at Crete who was forcibly light-cast by Anne and began to pretend to be an angel.
"God, God..."
"please……"
"Please forgive me for being a lost lamb..."
After a long time, the skinny old priest Dahl seemed to realize what was happening in front of him, so he knelt down on the ground while trembling and began to pray and plead.
"..."
However, his prayers seemed to be of no use.
Because, at this moment, Crete, who was possessed by the heroic spirit of the Holy Avenger, was watching him expressionlessly, and at the same time, he raised his hand to condense a golden sword of holy light and used it to Lifted high.
"Judgment!!"
The next second, as her clear voice sounded without any emotion, the golden holy light instantly flooded the living room and leaked out from the damaged wall, successfully attracting the surrounding noise that was originally caused by this place and the Lord's Fortress. The citizens who went out to see what happened all cast their eyes in surprise and shock.
