Regarding this question, George couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
He has not forgotten the scene when his wife Lova failed to give birth, nor has he given up on his desire to be tried fairly and justly.
However, after seeing the darkness and decay of the Heretic Trial Temple, the shiny white high-rise buildings outside the caravan seemed particularly dazzling, and the ritual music and hymns of the believers worshiping outside the caravan also seemed particularly harsh.
"Will there be fairness and justice that I want in a place like this?"
For this heartfelt question, George knew clearly that the answer was obvious and self-evident. If you continue to deceive yourself and others like this, it will be too ridiculous.
"Viscount George, we have arrived at the core area! After passing through this city gate, we can see the Holy Land of the Crusaders - the Crusader Barracks!"
Brad's voice sounded at the right time, bringing George, who was immersed in memories, back to reality.
"That's right! Captain Brad, thank you for the ride, otherwise I would have been stuck in traffic all day and all night!"
“Anywhere, it’s just a matter of a finger’s work!”
Under Brad's guidance, George could barely see the Crusader camp on the west side of St. Nicholas Church through the window of the caravan. Moreover, George has repeatedly confirmed to Brad that his father-in-law is in the city now, and his eyes are focused on the enlarging Crusader camp. At this time, George can no longer tell whether he feels nervous or guilty. .
However, when he passed through the city gate in the core area, George felt inexplicably that there seemed to be a chill spreading throughout his body. When he wanted to confirm this feeling again, this strange feeling had already disappeared without a trace. No trace.
"Is it my imagination?" Seeing the Crusaders camp in the distance approaching him, George quickly put the matter behind him.
…
St. Nicholas Church, underground apse.
"... General James has committed treason, Deputy Palace Master Jorman Gund unfortunately died in the line of duty, and the temple was also destroyed by the rebels. That's what happened, Lord Palace Master!" A black-clothed guard was trembling towards the person on the throne. The "Palace Master" reported the latest information.
This black-clothed guard is none other than Jason, who had escaped before. As one of the main delinquents who caused the destruction of the Heretic Temple, Jason had no intention of fleeing the world and hiding his name. However, when he accidentally eavesdropped on "first-hand information" from George, desire and greed finally defeated him. The little cowardice in his heart finally became the courage that supported him to stand in front of the "Master" - the current Pope, Martin Louis.
After Jason finished speaking, he was very excited in his heart, looking forward to the wealth and status that the Pope was about to bestow upon him. However, what Jason never dreamed of was that what responded to him would be something he was very familiar with, the cage of light used to restrict the escape of gladiators on the stage in the Garden of Eden!
"How presumptuous! You unruly boy! Who allowed you, a mere lieutenant, to call His Majesty the Pope the Lord of the Palace!"
The black-clad guard standing on the left side of the Pope was the first to attack Jason. The gilded black top hat on his head was showing his rank in the temple after the Pope - the deputy temple master level.
"I was wrong... spare my life, sir!" Jason, who was very aware of the power of the Cage of Light, quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy, fearing that he would offend the big shots in front of him again.
"Hall Master! I have received reports here. Just yesterday, mutinies broke out among the champion knights stationed in the City of Adamus, the City of Milton and the City of Alexandre at the same time. About half of the champion knights Joined James' team. Although the knights in the imperial capital have been controlled by us, if James really plans to go against the empire, ordinary soldiers may not be able to stop the champion knight!" The deputy palace master threw Jason into prison After being caged, he abandoned it and started communicating with the Pope.
"Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals. Recall Rose Talis, deputy leader of the Champion Knights, from the Tolstoy River to the imperial capital! She is a devout believer and will definitely obey the will of the Holy Light." The Pope said hoarsely. The sound echoed in everyone's ears.
"However, Rose Talis is a member of the Talis family after all. Even if she unswervingly believes in the Holy Light, if she is asked to crusade against the patriarch, she may not be able to use her full strength. As cunning as James, he will definitely take the opportunity to recruit her. Under his own command!" Another deputy palace master standing on the right side of the Pope also joined the discussion.
"You are right, this is indeed a problem..."
At this moment, Jason, who was locked in the Cage of Light, spoke.
"My lords, regarding this point, I have a clumsy plan. I wonder if it can get through to your lords' eyes."
"You kid..."
The deputy palace master was about to teach Jason a lesson again, but was stopped by the Pope. He pointed his finger at Jason, who was trembling, and motioned for him to continue speaking.
"My lords, this is how it is. In the previous mission to capture the King of Nightmare Beasts, due to the obstruction of Rose Tallis's father, we accidentally killed him. But now that the King of Nightmare Beasts has become James's mount, we will instead You can blame James for her father's death and make Captain Rose willingly turn against her clan leader!"
Driven by the pressure of death threats and the desire to stand out, Jason burst out with wisdom far beyond his usual.
"Child, what's your name?"
This time, the Pope took the initiative to find Jason. He just waved his hand gently, and the cage of light disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Jay...Jason!" Seeing the Pope's eyes finally focusing on his face, the black-clothed guard was so excited that his voice became thinner.
"Jason, my child, it seems that the Holy Light has not given up on you yet. Your wisdom is the best proof! Continue to contribute to the temple, the God of Light will see your efforts!"
"yes!"
At this moment, a weak ripple of magic power came from the air.
"Huh? Is this? It's interesting. A heretic has actually come to the core area, and he is a heretic with good combat power. It seems that he can have a long-lost hunting operation!"
The Pope just spread his hands, and the magic projection of the entire core area instantly appeared in his palms, and his attention was focused on George in the caravan.
"Palace Master, please think twice. For the upcoming Fallen Angel Plan, your current body is very fragile, and it is even worse than an ordinary person! Please do not be impulsive for the sake of the great cause of Qianqiu that is about to be completed!"
The two deputy palace masters suddenly felt very headache when they saw that the Pope actually wanted to catch the heretic himself.
In recent years, His Majesty the Pope, who should have been content to command and cast spells from the rear, seems to have become more and more willing to fight after receiving "that power".
Did "that power" change His Majesty, or was this just his own illusion? Although the two deputy palace masters thought so in their hearts, they did not dare to do anything disobeying him.
"Don't be so nervous. The opponent's combat power hasn't even broken through to the fourth level. Send some monks to accompany me. It's just a walk."
"Yes! Lord Palace Master!"
