ascetic.
As soon as Buck saw the visitor's attire, he immediately understood the other person's identity.
No matter what church you are in, there is no shortage of people who completely give up the pursuit of worldly material enjoyment and practice very harsh methods on their bodies to purify their body and mind.
"Father, please treat these injured townspeople." Those townspeople affected by the fireball were already dying. Obviously, in addition to the burning damage, there was another force eroding their vitality.
"They have been infected by the breath of purgatory. Even if I treat them and remove the pollution, I can't make them recover. It is better to die than to become useless." The ascetic glanced at those affected by the fireball and immediately came to a conclusion. .
After all, in this world, once these lower-class people lose their labor force, they will quickly bring down a family. After years of hard work, Perry Kenny is used to this kind of thing.
He cannot make these townspeople fully recover, so death is their best destination.
"Don't worry, Father. These townspeople are fighting to protect me. Naturally, I will not abandon them. I will bear all the responsibility for their and their families' future lives. I can swear to the gods that I will never lie."
As Buck spoke, he immediately swore that not only these injured people, but also whoever made sacrifices for himself and the territory, he would be responsible for all the daily necessities of the other party and their family. .
This was an oath to the gods. As soon as the oath came out, Perry's eyes changed when he looked at Buck. This was not like the behavior of a noble.
Not only that, the loyalty of those who have not become Buck's soldiers is also rising. Who doesn't want to meet a lord who can truly care about their lives.
As soon as Buck finished swearing, Perry had already taken action. With a wave of his hand, the injured townspeople were enveloped in rays of light. Soon the townspeople stopped wailing and slowly fell asleep.
"Take them home and take good care of them. After the territory settles down, the pension will be distributed immediately." Buck finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the lives of these townspeople were saved.
This was a baby who could contribute one gold coin a day while lying on the bed. How could he let them die like this? It would make him feel so sad.
But Perry saw all of this as a joke. Buck was worried about the performance of his subjects, and nodded silently in his heart.
"Thank you, Father, for your help. I don't know what to call it yet..."
Before Buck could ask for the priest's name, there was suddenly another commotion outside the town. He turned around and saw several priests in gorgeous clothes rushing in from outside the town with a group of temple knights.
They roughly pushed aside the townspeople blocking the road and came straight to Buck. The priest walking at the front glanced at Buck and said directly: "Are you the lord who is preparing to sacrifice blood to innocent people?"
Buck was stunned for a moment by the other party's words, "Blood sacrifice? Lord? Me?"
"What? You still want to quibble? This aura is full of purgatory magic, you damn heretic!!!" The priest suddenly laughed ferociously when he saw the confused Buck, and the holy light flashed in his hand, and he went directly to Buck grabbed it.
But a hand stopped him.
"Arresting people directly without any investigation, and being a noble lord, is this what Engel taught you?" Perry frowned as he looked at the arrogant priest in front of him.
"It's none of your business here. The Tribunal has its own reasons for arresting people. Don't ask for trouble!" Abate had naturally seen Perry for a long time, but as a rising star in the Tribunal, how could he pay attention to such a person? ascetic.
The Short family has always been on the Tribunal's investigation list. However, more than twenty years ago, Engel took over as the presiding judge of the Tribunal and ordered no more investigations. However, the files have always been there.
Now that I have met the real owner, if I can get clues about the Black Demon Sword from Buck Short, it will be a great achievement.
"Shut up!" As soon as Abate finished speaking, an old priest came over, glared at Abate, and then saluted Perry: "I have met Mr. Perry."
"It's Dixon, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Seeing the person coming, Perry suddenly smiled and said.
"Yes, sir, we haven't seen each other for ten years." Dixon nodded and said, "Abate is just eager to make a contribution, because we met two people. They said that the lord here took in a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, maybe He might be a heretic if he does something evil with them."
"Are you talking about Lord Buck who swore by the gods that he was willing to take care of the people in the territory who were disabled because of his contribution to the territory?"
"When did the Tribunal have such a privilege to directly accuse someone without conducting an investigation?"
Perry's words made Dixon break into cold sweat. Not only Dixon, but also other members of the Tribunal also lowered their heads.
If they didn't recognize Perry at first, but still didn't understand the identity of the person after hearing the word Perry, then they wouldn't have to hang out in the trial court.
Perry Kenny, the presiding judge of the original Inquisition, was the first in line to succeed the Pope.
Twenty-three years ago, the previous pope resigned. As the presiding judge and the first successor, Perry Kenny suddenly left a letter on the first day of succeeding as pope, giving up his right to succeed as pope, and disappeared in within people's sight.
When he reappeared ten years later, Perry Kenny, who had become an ascetic, had become a powerful hero.
This incident caused a great sensation that year, and many priests who had reached the tenth level of the elite resolutely gave up their duties and joined the ranks of ascetic monks, just to feel the grace of God and become one of the heroes.
It was precisely because of the vacancies in many positions that a large number of new people were quickly promoted and became the middle-level members of the church, and Abate and Elise were among them.
Their team was led by Dixon and was chasing Elise. On the way, they met two refugees who claimed to be from the North. They learned from each other that a noble spent a lot of money to take in a group of worthless old people. Weak, sick, and disabled, there must be a conspiracy here. After all, how could they not know the virtues of those nobles?
Especially after learning that this nobleman was the lord of this territory, the information about Buck Short, who had changed the territory with someone else, immediately appeared in his mind. After all, the nobleman who could be recorded in the files of the Tribunal all It is an existence with certain value.
So Dixon made a prompt decision, put aside the pursuit of Elise, and rushed towards Yorktown, Buck's territory.
Sure enough, as soon as he arrived here, he felt the atmosphere of purgatory. The excited Abate didn't care too much and rushed directly into the crowd and locked the gorgeously dressed Buck.
