Chapter 205 The Blood Saint(3/6)
An official promoted from civilian believers by Inheim.
After I took office, under the orders of Nicholas, you created false accounts many times and delivered part of the income that belonged to Longgue Port City to Inheim.
The total amount involved is 689,400 gold coins."
As Adela spoke, Treasurer Kelvey's legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
"I-I didn't! I didn't do any of these things!"
Adela shook her head, sighed softly, and said softly: "You are lying."
Then Adela faced the prison and nodded to a Holy Guard to the left of Palu.
The other party bowed respectfully, stepped forward, and said in a voice as loud as thunder:
“The people in prison are doing well!
You people all have helped the hell spy Zhao Nun Raz Gao, or are simply his subordinates.
You are all guilty, but not to the point of being unforgivably sinful.
Now, the merciful Saint will come down to judge you.
Don't try to hide the evidence of the crime, and explain clearly what needs to be explained, and you still have a way to survive.
Otherwise, it’s a dead end!”
The holy guard pulled out his heavy sword and knocked it hard on the ground.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise, shattering Kaiwei's courage.
His legs went weak and he fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face.
"Lord Saint! I was wrong, I confess! I am not a human being.
I was beguiled by Nicholas, thinking that if Bishop Inheim could become pope, I would be promoted and make a fortune.
I have misappropriated a large amount of funds and taxes from Longgue Port City, and the amount is exactly the same as what you said, Lady Saint.
I am guilty, I am guilty!
Holy lady, please spare my life. My mother is over eighty years old, my youngest child is just one month old, and I still have two wives who need my care. I can't die, I can't die."
Adela glanced at him and asked softly:
"Then can you promise to serve me in the future and never betray me?"
As if he had been granted amnesty, Cavie shouted ecstatically: "I can! I can!"
Adela looked at him pitifully, shook her head and said, "Unfortunately, you can't."
Palu felt another holy guard beside him move.
"Swipe!"
A cunning heart full of wisdom flew up, and the smell of blood mixed with the stench of the prison itself rushed into Palu's nostrils.
Just kill him?!
Palu was still in shock, but the guard beside him knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, this person has something to do with hell. I am afraid that he will be unfavorable to you, so I will strike first to gain advantage."
Adela neither agreed nor objected, but sighed helplessly and continued walking forward.
The Imperial Guard immediately stood up and followed him.
Palu was stunned for a moment.
He couldn't figure out for a moment how Kaiwei, who was locked in a cell with magic-forbidden shackles on his hands, could harm the saint.
But he reacted immediately and secretly cursed himself for being stupid.
Kaiwei has colluded with hell. Hell has so many methods. The magic-forbidden shackles are nothing. He deserves to be killed! Didn’t you see that the Holy Maiden has already acquiesced?
As soon as his mentality changed, Palu was afraid of being left behind by the team, so he quickly followed him.
He didn't even care that the bottoms of his silver-white boots were stuck to the warm hellish slurry.
When Palu caught up with the team, they had already stopped in the second cell. In the cell was a priest from the North District.
He had just prayed with Palu the day before yesterday, and the relationship between the two of them was usually pretty good.
Saint Adela, as before, announced the evidence of his guilt and asked him:
"Can you promise to serve me in the future and never betray me?"
Adela's voice was soft and pleasant, but Palu felt horrified.
"Your Majesty the Holy Maiden! I will definitely be responsible for you from now on!"
Palu saw the saint shake her head and heard her ask gently: "If I ask you a question, you just need to answer yes or no, okay?"
"Yes, yes."
"Come, let me ask again.
"Can you promise to serve me in the future and never betray me?"
"Your Majesty! I...I..."
The Imperial Guard on the side snorted coldly: "Yes, or not!"
The priest was startled and gritted his teeth and said, "I can!"
After he finished speaking, his whole bones softened and he collapsed to the ground. He raised his head in a panic and stared at Adela's expression, as if waiting for judgment.
Adela was about to cry, and sighed softly as if with regret: "Lov, it's a pity, you can't do it either."
The priest's face turned pale. He almost used all his strength to hit the black iron cell door, and even his arm was deformed by the impact.
"Lady Saint, I can! I can! I swear I can! Give me a chance, give me again"
Palu couldn't bear to close his eyes.
Former colleagues, we criticized His Majesty Roland together, analyzed the situation in Erathia together, and dreamed of becoming heroes together.
Now, the other party turned into a surging stream of heat in front of him.
"Can you promise to serve me in the future and never betray me?"
"Adela, you can't! You can't treat me like this!
I am a loyal believer of the Holy Angel Religion. Even if I have sins, the Lord Angel will bear them for me.
You have no right”
——————
"Can you promise to serve me in the future and never betray me?"
"I can! I swear, everything I did before was forced."
"You lost child, you have suffered, please return to our team."
——————
"Can you promise to serve me in the future and never betray me?"
"Hmph, Adela, you don't dare to kill me! I am Bishop Inheim's confidant, if you kill me, he will not let it go."
————
Palu followed Adela, gradually becoming numb.
Those former colleagues, friends, strangers, life and death are all wavering between "can and cannot".
A word of sound, a word of death.
The floor of the entire cell was wet. Except for the soles of the feet of the Holy Maiden who was walking at the front and were blocked by the nun's robe, the feet of everyone else were more or less stained with red.
At this serious moment, a ridiculous idea suddenly occurred in Palu's mind.
The Holy Maiden likes brown and dark brown nuns' robes, maybe because they are easier to wash after getting dirty.
Ha, haha, hahaha.
Palu smiled bitterly in his heart, and the emotions that locked him into a ball relaxed a little.
Finished the last cell.
Palu followed Her Majesty the Virgin out of the prison, and the other Crusaders needed to clean up the prison.
The prison is so dirty that it may take them a long time to clean it.
Made it out alive!
The sun shines through the thick clouds and hits Palu's face, dispelling the gloom in his heart.
Palu took a deep breath. The smell of dried salted fish and sea water diluted the strong smell lingering in his nose.
Palu has never felt that the smell of fish in Nancheng has been so good, it is as fragrant as flowers.
"Alas~"
Adela sighed softly.
