Since the Holy Sword consumed all the energy in the Destiny Gold Coin, the Holy Sword has also fallen into a deep sleep. William himself does not have extraordinary power, so it is impossible to activate the Holy Sword with extraordinary power.
But who would have thought that when he fell asleep and met the pillow, the great priest would actually send energy directly to him.
Suck it, suck it hard, it doesn't matter if you suck it dry, the holy sword and the cross collide with each other, and the energy is transferred in front of Father Bernard.
This is fair and square theft.
"It's scary. I have never seen such an arrogant devil. He actually absorbed the energy of the cross. Colin, go to the baron to get reinforcements. Deacon Arnold, go to the Rhine Cathedral quickly. Go to the Rhine Archbishop and ask the archbishop to Sir, find a way to destroy this devil. Saint Massimo, come and protect us!"
At this time, Father Bernard already felt that the situation was not good. The Holy Cross of the monastery had always been placed in the church to receive worship from believers. It contained considerable energy, not only in the villages of the Barony of Andager, but also in the villages of the Andager Barony. Even believers came from the Kingdom of Thorne, so the energy of the Holy Light in the past fifty years has been accumulated to an incredible level.
But even this huge amount of holy light energy seemed to have been stolen by an inexplicable existence.
"Father, this demon's magic power is too high. I think you should not use your magic power to duel with this demon. We will use stones and weapons to smash him to death and burn him to death with fire."
The villagers on the side watched Father Bernard and William fight each other evenly with the cross and the holy sword. They originally thought that the priest could use the cross to physically liberate heretics and demons like before, but now they saw that the situation was too great. Something was wrong. The Holy Cross, which used to be used as a street lamp, was now dim, as if it lacked energy. William's side was majestic, and it was obvious that Satan's power was really terrifying.
When William heard what the villagers said, he was immediately frightened. It was already very difficult for him to contend with the priest. It was obvious that the villagers also wanted to join the battle.
"Father, my son, Little William, is not a devil! You have to believe me. When my son was born, you baptized him. Father Bernard, you have to admit it. Didn't you bless my son on behalf of God? ?"
Old William watched all this with his mouth open. Whether it was what his son William said before or the priest led the villagers to rush over, everything happened so suddenly.
He rushed over and hugged Father Bernard's cassock, and for a moment he was a little incoherent.
"Are you a priest or am I a priest? I believe you are of no use. Could it be that you are more professional than me?"
Father Bernard had a troubled look on his face and thought to himself that almost all the children in the nearby villages were baptized by him after they were born, and he didn't know how effective his blessing would be for the evil Satan.
"Ludwig Wilhelm von Jakob, you have to understand that heretics and evil will be burned to death, just like we burned witches everywhere ten years ago. Your son is obviously possessed by Satan. Became the same incarnation of Satan as the witch.”
Father Bernard said loudly, and quickly rescued the cross that was almost exhausted. The surrounding villagers stood tremblingly in front of William with weapons on one side, while the other kept drawing crosses on their chests. Mouthing the names "Jesus", "Mary", "Moses" and so on.
"The brave men are all dead, the Dragon Slaying Mercenary Group has been wiped out, everyone is dead, why is your son, Little William, not dead?"
Father Bernard's beard moved slightly and he said matter-of-factly. The deacon and villagers around him nodded.
Yes, the dragon-slaying mercenary group was completely wiped out. The brave man took the holy sword and went out to slay the dragon himself, but was killed by the evil dragon. The princess is still caught by the evil dragon and she doesn't know what kind of humiliation and abuse she will suffer. You, William, are not a beautiful princess. How could the evil dragon let you come back?
"Burn him, burn him, burn him!"
The villagers were filled with indignation and fanaticism, as if the William in front of them was no longer a living person like them, but an indescribable monster.
William saw the villagers in the house outside. Many of the faces were very familiar. They were people William had known before, but the eyes they looked at William were full of fear and cruelty.
It’s not a joke about burning heterosexuals like the FFF group, they really want to burn people to death.
This is the dark Middle Ages in the history books. It was ignorant and therefore ignorant, even among the nobles. Thinking of having to explain to these ignorant villagers living in the Middle Ages that he was not Satan, he felt as if he was being weighed down by a heavy mountain.
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the Christian Church became the only preserver of Western culture. In the chaotic Middle Ages, secular knowledge, culture, and education were either destroyed or forgotten. The chaos of the current situation not only made it difficult to pass on culture, but also made it impossible to carry out education.
In the face of knowledge, there is no difference between the nobles and the common people.
A great aristocrat with a noble bloodline may be very rich or very smart, but the knowledge and etiquette in his head are often learned from the words and deeds of his elders or the masters he followed when he was young, rather than from professional experts. Learned from teachers.
Charlemagne, the king of the Franks in the poker game King of Hearts, was barely literate. Otto the Great, who founded the Holy Roman Empire, only received education at the age of thirty. King Richard of England was illiterate, so his personal priest tampered with documents. After signing, I was cheated out of a large territory.
As a college student who received higher education in later generations, William did not develop a sense of superiority towards the illiterate people in the Middle Ages. Instead, he hoped that they would become smarter and more knowledgeable.
Before deciding whether he would be roasted by the priest and the villagers, William racked his brains and couldn't figure out how to talk to this group of fanatical and ignorant people about why he shouldn't be roasted.
"If I came back because of luck, wouldn't you be wronging a good person if you burned me?"
William said suddenly, grabbing the holy water from a deacon's hand, and under the stunned look of the other deacon, he poured it directly on himself. Seeing that it was not safe, he poured it directly into his mouth.
Then he took the bronze cross that was worn on the deacon's chest and could be used to hit people, and kissed him. At the same time, he did not forget to put his hand on the Bible as he had seen in the news when the presidents of Britain and France were sworn in. On the cross.
"I solemnly swear that I am not a devil, but a faithful person of the Lord."
As William was talking, a lot of sentences suddenly popped into his mind, and he couldn't help but follow the sentences in his mind and said, "Ah, the eternal, omniscient and omnipotent Lord, our only hope in this world, the supreme creator of heaven and earth. , I earnestly pray to you: please watch over and care for your earthly people, please save them from falling into the land of Erinyes, the land of Alecto, and from being devoured by Megara. situation."
"I have your favored William, I will definitely..."
The cross fell heavily to the ground. Prince Brant and Klein came here with the militiamen and were about to help the priest, when they saw the words of William's oath.
Although he couldn't understand what William said, every word he said was very touching. Father Bernard pointed at William with a trembling hand and said, "I have your favor." , rather than relying on other people’s virtues.”
"This is the prayer at the beginning of the Golden Seal. William, how dare you, how dare you use the prayer of the emperor. You are transgressing. Also, this is Latin. How can you, an illiterate commoner, know Latin?"
Father Bernard was horrified and his eyes widened with disbelief and disbelief.
