December 8, 865 AD, entered Sunday.
On this day, the nobles in the Repton area, except for the necessary manpower to defend the outside, all entered the open space outside Repton Cemetery, and followed the Archbishop of Mercia to pray for England in front of the late king.
The burning anointing oil slowly calmed the restless hearts, followed by holy and loud songs.
After singing praises to God, the archbishop and the nobles began to distribute holy water and holy food.
Although the Vikings gathered together, they did not dare to attack rashly due to the fortifications in the area around the royal tombs that had been built for hundreds of years and the thousands of Ansa nobles who came to help.
It was supposed to be a peaceful day, but it changed after the arrival of a "weird visitor".
"He" was discovered by the soldiers of the Northumbrian nobles in a forest path outside that can enter the king's tomb.
The knight in charge of this group of soldiers came to Oran and Ella and said louder, "Your Majesty, Your Excellency, seize a weird trick."
"Do you still want me to teach you how to deal with such a small matter?" Oran replied.
"But 'he' specifically wants to see you, and he also said that he has a heavy responsibility and is here to save everyone."
After the knight said these words, he attracted the attention of other nobles.
"What's it called?" Oran asked again.
"Joan of Arc."
"What a mess, take it to be tortured." Oran said he didn't see it, and the knight replied, "He said if he didn't see it, everyone would be killed by the Vikings!"
The knight sang with Oran, and his exaggerated remarks attracted everyone's attention, so Oran had Jeanne brought up.
When Joan of Arc appeared, whispers arose.
Some nobles also felt that he looked a bit like the guy from last time. However, because their clothes were so different and their hairstyles were different, the guy's face was dirty and his head was always lowered, so he wasn't sure if it was the same person. people.
"What kind of costume are you wearing? You're so ridiculous!" An old monk suddenly pointed at Jeanne d'Arc's costume. @ESSENTIAL\/SHUKEG·No mistake first release~~
He becomes "she," wearing pants instead of a skirt, with short, nearly shaved hair that makes her look like a man.
He was wearing a piece of black and gray soft armor, and his feet were also hard leather boots, similar to the boots worn by hunters walking in the mountains.
"The Bible records the etiquette, customs, and even clothing of men and women. You are blaspheming God!"
"You bastard."
"Strip her naked."
Soon, the sounds of a group of men shouting and killing emerged, and Jeanne's legs almost gave out. If Olan hadn't given her a firm look, she might have knelt down and begged for mercy immediately.
"I'm here to... fight, fight!" After Jeanne exhausted all her strength and said this, she was sweating all over her body.
Just as Oran was about to signal the knights he had arranged to help, a noble named "Otto" among the Mercians spoke up.
"When we read the Bible, in addition to the words recorded above, we should also pay attention to the exceptions. After the Vikings invaded, they persecuted women everywhere, and this dress can allow a woman to move better and avoid being violated. Short hair can also hide her identity. It’s not blasphemy.”
Oran was happy to see someone helping, so he let other nobles speak first.
"Where are you from?" someone asked, and Joan responded to what Oran taught her, a remote mountain village. "
"Aren't you scared after walking for eight days dressed like this?"
"I'm here to save you. The night is my friend. I'm not afraid of anything."
After Joan of Arc said this, another knight stood up and suddenly stretched out a punch and slid past her. Joan of Arc remained motionless because she was so frightened that the knight wanted to punch her again.
Kunsang stood up, took over the action of harassing Joan of Arc, stood in front of her and stared at her.
"You dare to curse us. If you don't tell us clearly, I will break you into eight pieces after Sunday." Kunsang said.
After Joan of Arc saw Olan's gesture, she knew that Kunsang was one of her own and slowly calmed down.
Then the bizarre experience that Oran fabricated was revealed by Joan of Arc, causing everyone to shout that it was outrageous.
An unremarkable-looking woman with a deep voice. I don’t know if it’s intentional or just born like this. She cursed everyone as soon as she appeared.
Descendants of King Arthur, bloodline of the Thirteen Paladins!
"Woman, you are simply mocking me. (This chapter is not over yet!)
169. The Miracle of Oran
Ridicule us!" A knight from East Anglia stood up.
Not only him, but also the nobles in Northumbria who were not involved in the Oran plan did not believe this nonsense.
Sheriff Frank and John each pointed at Joan's nose, eager to step forward and strip her naked.
For a day and a half, Oran asked Joan to write down the appearances and experiences of the nobles with some status in the camp, as well as their responses to various emergencies. Joan could not remember so much.
John can't remember it clearly, but Frank's information remembers a little bit.
In a flash, he spoke out the fragments he had memorized in his mind, "You are guilty...sin, your blood is unclean, you have to pray!"
O'lan taught her that when someone makes trouble, she should strike first.
But Joan of Arc quickly said what Oran had forbidden her not to say, reminding Frank of his origins in disguise.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Calm down, Frank, and let Benber judge her."
Oran spoke, and no matter how angry Frank was, he would wait until Joan left the square before taking action.
"Ma'am, what you just said is so beautiful. You can be a funny person, but you are not a fighting hero."
"You are Olan."
"Do you know me?"
"I saw it in a dream, and a voice told me that you will be a great knight, as great as anyone..."
"That's such an honor. Who told you that?"
"Supreme, indescribable existence!"
Then Joan of Arc got better and better, her body swayed, and she continued, "She said that everyone will be driven out of England, except those who die here."
This is obviously about the Vikings. How could a woman say this kind of behavior that is pretending to be divine.
The scene became noisy again.
However, Oran and his men have begun to maintain order and guide Joan to say what needs to be said.
Oran asked, "Then can you see other people's past or future?"
"Some people can."
"Then point it out."
So Joan of Arc selected a few people and told some things. These were all the information Oran told her privately.
Not counting the last time, this was the first time for everyone present to meet Joan of Arc, and they felt surprised and weird that they were recognized by a woman.
Joan of Arc even told two secrets about the king.
One is Ella's injury experience when she was young, and the other is the assassination that happened while hunting when the King of Mercia was a boy.
Oran had asked about these two things in advance, and now he said it and winked at the two kings. At the same time, he also made a look at Sir Downey from East Anglia who was present in advance.
Downey asked on behalf of the knights of East Anglia, "If you confess now that you are a liar, you still have a chance to live. The Lord Christ will forgive everything."
"I heard it a long time ago, the song of angels came from the air, from the rocks, from the river, warning me that the Vikings would invade and I must leave the mountains and command others."
"Why do you have that? You know how to fight on horseback?"
"God help me, when I raise the cross flag, I will be back where I belong!"
There was mocking laughter all around, but Joan of Arc gradually became bolder.
When he found out that these men, under Oran's isolation, would only verbally attack him at most, which was not more terrifying than the men who pressed on him and caused him pain, her back was no longer so curved and her eyes were more confident. .
Then the time came, and when she continued to kneel down and put her hands together, the big bell rang, and Jeanne ignored the mud on the ground and knelt down with her whole body.
She did not know how to pray and could not remember the words of her prayers. She just repeated "Hallelujah".
Seeing her like this, the nobles could not interrupt her. They waited for time to pass and prayed to the Lord.
When the bell finished ringing, Joan stood up and told the prophecy she had memorized.
"The angel asked me to go to Mercia and come to Repton, saying that I would help the legendary king be crowned here!"
"Who is the legendary king?"
"Whoever defeats the Vikings will be the one to whom I will give the ancestral sword in the stone."
"Where is this sword?"
"Don't know yet."
"You woman are clearly a witch and you are full of lies."

169. The Miracle of Oran
Joan of Arc began to defend herself against the others.
Then one of Oran's knights suddenly rushed in, covered in sweat. After Oran heard this, he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "You said you can see something special, then tell me, what did I hear? "
Joan continued to tremble, then collapsed to the ground, then opened her eyes again and said, "The waves in Ireland are making huge waves! Big waves!"
Hearing this, as Sheriff Catana, who was always concerned about the war situation in Ireland, he already knew what kind of woman this woman was.
This was the latest rest I received yesterday, and the Boneless fleet began to cause trouble.
I was going to say it after Sunday.
Looking at this situation, Ella also conspired with the Mercians.
"You really guessed it right, my God!" Olan opened his eyes wide, but his acting skills were embarrassingly bad.
If this is the future, then he can only keep cutting out pictures under the green curtain.
During this time, the Sheriffs of Northumbria experienced Viking invasions and the Oran Dispatch.
It is difficult for them to pose a threat to Olan. John, who originally did not deal with Olan, no longer dares to confront Olan.
When he saw that Olan was going to come up with a "saint to save the country" just like last time, "the father came down to earth" this time, he added, "Saint...Joan of Arc?"
“If I am not yet in the glory of God, I hope God will give it to me. If I am already in it, I hope God will still give it to me.”
"I fear nothing but treason, and I fear nothing, for God is with me."
Saying two long words in a row emptied her thoughts, and Jeanne's mind went blank. She could no longer think of how to deal with it next.
"Your Excellency Oran, I have some impression of this woman. She seems to have appeared in Canterbury last time! She is not a saint, she is a dirty witch and a bastard!"
One knight couldn't help but put an end to this farce.
But Olan gave her an answer, "I feel similar, but the charm is completely different. What this lady said is too special. Since she keeps saying that she is the daughter of the Lord, I think we can use a very orthodox one." Methods."
"what way?"
"Hold a grand ceremony and ask God for revelation!" Orland said.
"It's too troublesome. Hang her on the cross and let the flames devour her. If she survives, it will be true."
After the knight suggested it, there was silence, and Joan of Arc became inexplicably frightened. Lord Oran didn't tell him this.
Then the knight didn't give Joan a chance and asked the servant to catch her and wrap a piece of cloth around Joan's mouth.
Joan of Arc desperately tried to break free, but couldn't. Oran tried to save him, but was blocked by the knight.
"The fire cleanses her!"
After the voice sounded, the knight suggested that someone imprison Joan of Arc, and then came to an open space around the square, where there was a large open-air cross.
He and his servants went directly up and tied Joan to it, and called the blacksmith and carpenter to fix it.
After the blacksmith raised his sledgehammer and strengthened the cross, the carpenter helped tie Joan.
Then straw piles were piled up, and the next second, flames suddenly rose into the sky.
The people who came forward to burn the witch to death then retreated.
Oran wanted to step forward to rescue him, but was held back by his men. Then Ella and Burgred ordered a warning to prevent anyone from getting close. Everyone could only see a flame a few hundred meters away, burning the virgin. Virtue. @ESSENTIAL\/SHUKEG·No mistake first release~~
Jeanne d'Arc, who thought she would die, found that the flames were not hot and could not be burned.
Her body was fixed, unable to detect the mechanism at her feet, and was surrounded by a layer of flame-insulating powder.
In addition, this is a kind of trick flame used by jugglers, and it does not burn hot at all.
So a few minutes later, Jeanne was intact.
The nails driven in by the blacksmith seemed to hit her body, but they actually avoided her vital points.
Obviously, this group of people was arranged by Olan.
This plan was not told to Joan of Arc because it wanted to make her expression of fear more realistic. In order to prevent Joan of Arc from resenting her, Olan had to pretend to save her.
Behavior that is a matter of life and death can lead to enmity if you are not careful.
Don't let Joan have doubts about herself too early.
The king's soldiers vi. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
169. The Miracle of Oran
Maintaining order and not allowing anyone to get close to check, the fire slowly extinguished after a few minutes.
Olan and his men rushed up immediately and made a mess on the stage to avoid waiting for someone to come up to check.
With a kick of the foot, once ready and placed on top, the ashes of the burned weed show through.
Oran then untied the nails, raised Joan's hands, and shouted that she was "the daughter of God."
But only half of the people responded, and many people were waiting and watching.
Frank sent his knight up to see, but he did not believe the witch at all.
Then, a terrible scene happened.
How can an immortal perform a miracle?
Oran slapped the knight, then Kunsang moved to push him down.
He wasn't the one who was going to be burned to death, but Frank didn't want to give him face, so he had to let him know what Oran's miracle was.
"After so many eyes have seen it, you still insult the messenger from God. As a believer, I cannot accept it!"
Oran scolded that the knight was fooled. Frank wanted to snatch the man back, but Oran and the king's soldiers stopped him. Ella even ordered that the knight should try it too and see if it was a trick. ?
Joan of Arc was sent down, straw and kerosene were prepared again, and with a heavy blow from the blacksmith, the knight begged for mercy. _o_m
There is no need to drive other nails.
Frank wanted to plead for mercy, but Olan took the torch and looked at his face, son of a ***, what is it?
Throwing the torch out.
The blazing flames instantly erupted, and soon the knight was engulfed in the flames.
After all, he was a knight, and Oran was killed like this?!
Oran slowly walked up to Frank and whispered to him, "Now tell others, this bastard is actually a creation of the Vikings, the saint is real, you apologize to the saint immediately, and act more authentic, otherwise you will fight His Majesty will order you to go to the forefront of the Vikings."
Frank's body was shaking, this was anger!
"If you are dissatisfied, you should also look where you are. Otherwise, Uncle Ben will be very angry and the consequences will be serious."
Oran noticed it and patted Frank on the shoulder, slapping away his anger.
“It is better to stand humble than to fall proud,” Frank thought of this motto of faith.
He approached the corpse and said with anger, "This knight is a traitor, a betrayer. Joan of Arc will lead us to victory. I have witnessed the great revelation with my own eyes. God is with England!"
The Sheriff of the knight who was burned to death did not say anything, and it was difficult for others to pursue the case. So Joan of Arc, who had just left the danger of death, immediately experienced the highest etiquette. Except for the king and the palace minister, all the nobles bowed down and saluted her.
The careerist manipulates the humblest woman to bring benefits to him.
Joan of Arc's fate is about to change, and this moment is just the moment. .
