Heroes of Silver Moon

The convoy of the church drove slowly into the royal capital. Seeing the ragged and tired poor people at the city gate who were queuing up to receive relief, Simon felt quite heavy.

The attack that occurred in the slums a few days ago directly destroyed a quarter of the slums, killing nearly 10,000 people and injuring thousands more.

The people living in the slums had a difficult life. After experiencing this attack, they didn't even have a place to stay. They could only wait for the royal family's relief.

However, the royal family's finances are not ideal, and the debts owed to the nobles have not been paid off. Where there is money, these poor people can be resettled. Giving a piece of black bread to some poor people every day is already the limit of what the royal family can do.

Simon closed the car window silently, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart. What he had experienced in the past few days always wanted to drag him into the abyss of sensibility. He was obviously such a rational person before.

Obviously knowing that he can't help everyone, and knowing that being sentimental will only lead him into a whirlpool, but he still can't help but want to help these people.

"What an idiot!" Simon sat in the carriage with his hands folded on his knees, his eyes were a little sad, he didn't know when he started to change.

Maybe it was when he killed Madeleine himself in the Hood family castle, or maybe it was when One-eyed sacrificed himself to help them lead away the ghouls when they fled in the slums a few days ago.

Or maybe it was when the Royal City Acropolis decided to implement the holy order.

After experiencing so many incidents, Simon was horrified to find that the eldest son of the Hawke family, who was indifferent and ruthless, who only sought the best interests and was extremely rational, now had a heart of compassion.

As a schemer, this is the biggest weakness!

"Oh!" Simon shook his head tiredly, and stopped thinking about these things.

Under the envious and respectful eyes of the surrounding poor, the convoy drove towards the cathedral without stopping.

When they came to the cathedral, the presiding judge took Simon and others to report to the Pope what had happened in the Acropolis, and then the Pope asked the presiding judge and others to step down, leaving only Simon.

"I already know about the incident at the Acropolis. You did a great job!" The Pope looked at Simon with a sigh of relief. At Simon's age, he didn't have the courage to directly issue the order of the Holy Inquisition.

"For the matter of the Holy Judgment, you let all the members of the jury pass, didn't you just anticipate this situation?" Simon laughed at himself.

On the way back, he suddenly realized that the old Pope had planned to carry out the Holy Judgment by letting the jury go.

At that time, even if he and the Crown Prince disagreed, the presiding judge would have forced the Holy Judgment.

"Oh, be it!" The pope forced a wry smile on his face. Of course, he had expected this situation a long time ago, so he let Simon follow him.

Originally, he just wanted to let Simon see the cruelty of the world through this incident, so that the holy son of the church could grow, but he didn't expect that Simon's performance was even better than he expected!

After confirming that there was no other solution, he issued the Holy Inquisition order without hesitation.

"Is there anything else? If not, I'll go back." Simon said in silence for a moment.

Of course he knows the cruelty of this world, so he doesn't mean to blame the Pope, but what happened these days has messed up his mind, and he needs to calm down and think about it.

The Pope took a deep look at Simon, and then said in a deep voice, "Cavalier Aurelio and Cavalier Pacheco, in order to cover your escape, died in battle in the slums. Do you want to attend their funeral?"

Simon was silent again, then nodded vigorously.

Following the pope to a cemetery, many church knights and clergy have gathered here to observe silence.

Following the chanting and prayers of a priest, two delicate coffins were slowly lowered into the grave.

Simon watched these quietly, with a hint of confusion and sadness in his eyes.

Cavalier Aurelio, the son of a soldier, was only three years old when his father died in battle. His mother became seriously ill from overwork and sent him to the monastery of the church before dying.

In the monastery, the priest became his new father, the nanny became his new mother, the other orphans in the monastery became his brothers and sisters, and the Moonlight Church became his everything.

He studied martial arts in the monastery, practiced hard, and finally became a glorious church knight.

In order to cover, the Holy Son, who had not made any contribution to the church, escaped and died in battle in a poor area.

Knight Pacheco, the son of a prostitute, his mother believed in a man who believed that he would redeem her, so she gave birth to a son for the man.

But after Pacheco was born, the man also disappeared, and the deceived prostitute had no choice but to send Pacheco to the church's monastery.

After all, as a prostitute, there is no way to pick up customers with children.

The church did not dislike Pacheco's origin. Here he grew up safely, made friends with many brothers and sisters, and became a respected church knight.

He didn't know Simon before, but in order to cover Simon's escape, he died in a slum.

It is because Simon is the Holy Son of the Church and represents the future of the Church.

And that one-eyed man, Simon was moved by the scene, and thought of the man who had helped them divert a large number of ghouls at the last moment.

One-eyed, has always been an unknown little person. His father died early, and it was all due to his mother's hard work to bring him up alone.

Children who grow up in slums have no land to cultivate, and no skills to work as helpers. They can only make a living by some dirty means.

The same goes for One-Eyed, who grows up to be a pickpocket.

His mother became sick from overwork, and she was bedridden, and the family didn't have much savings. In order to see a doctor for her mother, Cyclops had no choice but to focus on the nobles.

Only by stealing things from nobles can it be possible to quickly get together the money for the mother's medical treatment.

But stealing from nobles means taking greater risks. Even if the nobles kill pickpockets like him on the spot, no one will take care of them.

At the gate of the Noble Chamber of Commerce that day, he took aim at the target, a noble young master about twelve years old, accompanied by only an old housekeeper in his seventies and eighties.

Judging from the purse of the noble young master, he must have just taken out a lot of gold coins, and with a child and an old man, the possibility of him overturning the car is very small.

He made a move, and was caught. When the old butler's hand grabbed his wrist like iron clamps, Cyclops' entire brain was completely blank.

It never occurred to him that this old butler who walked tremblingly was actually a high-ranking soldier.

At the moment of being caught, Duo Yan didn't think about what would happen to him, but what he thought about was how his bedridden mother would survive without his son to support her.

Begging for mercy with a little luck, the old butler's words made him feel chilled, but the rather young noble young master gave him a gentle smile and asked the old butler to let him go.

At that moment, the figure of this noble young master shone into his extremely cold heart like a beam of warm sunshine.

Later, because he attacked the nobles and broke the rules of the gray forces, the boss of the blood wolf asked him to poke one eye blind as a punishment.

Although he lost one eye, the boss of the blood wolf also gave him a sum of gold coins and asked him to take it to treat his sick mother. It was because of this gold coin that his mother's life was saved.

It was also from this moment that the blood wolf boss had a confidant named One Eye beside him.

One-eyed couldn't believe his eyes when he met Master Simon in the slums.

The gentle noble young master, with a noble girl and a middle-aged swordsman, stood in the middle of hundreds of corpses, waiting for their gang to arrive with a calm expression.

Although Simon hardly remembered him, Cyclops was still extremely excited. It was this noble young master who gave him and his mother a chance of life.

After accepting the territory of other gangs, he was suddenly attacked by ghouls, and then later by mysterious people. A series of incidents caused Cyclops to be confused.

That young master Simon was seriously injured and was about to die, but there were hundreds of ghouls surrounding them below. Although he was impatient, there was nothing he could do.

The ghouls began to demolish the wall, and Master Simon took out a bottle of explosives. They escaped successfully from the siege, but then the ghouls chased them up again.

Among the four, Master Simon and the boss of Blood Wolf were kind to him, and the noble girl was a princess.

So under the promise of the princess, he had no choice but to put on the blood coat of Master Simon and lead most of the ghouls to other places.

Under the berserk bites of dozens of ghouls, his bones were gone!

Simon had only given him a glimmer of life before, but in order to repay his kindness, he put his own life on it.

Thinking of the three of them, Simon's eyes were slightly red, but he still forcibly suppressed the complicated emotions that were churning in his heart.

After the funeral was over, Simon adjusted his emotions, took off his Son's robe, and walked out of the cathedral with Cirillo, who had changed his face again.

"Master Simon, shall we go back to the noble district?" Cirillo asked behind Simon.

Simon thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, go to the slums, go see the one-eyed mother!"

Before One Eye made the bait, he had asked them to take good care of his mother. Although Simon was in a half-dead coma state at the time, Blood Wolf and Irina also told him about it after waking up.

At that time, he gave Xuelang a bag of gold coins, saying that he would ask Xuelang to help take care of the one-eyed mother first, and then visit him after he recovered from his injuries in a few days.

Seven or eight days have passed because of the Acropolis matter, and Simon felt it was time to go and have a look.

Siriro followed behind Simon silently. After such a long time, Simon finally came to the slums again.

Relying on the address given to him by the blood wolf, after many inquiries, Simon finally found the residence of Cyclops and his mother.

In front of a dilapidated log cabin, Simon was wandering back and forth in front of the door with a feeling of apprehension.

He didn't know how to face a mother who lost her only son, and the old man's son died to save him.

After hesitating again and again, taking a deep breath, Simon finally knocked on the door.

bang bang bang! There were three gentle knocks on the door, and Simon waited anxiously in front of the door for a long time, but no one came to open the door.

Could it be that the old man is old and his ears are not working well? Simon was a little suspicious, so he knocked three more times with more force.

After a long time, no one opened the door, and Simon felt a little bad.

Could it be that the old man is sick in bed and cannot get out of bed to open the door? In his heart, Simon found a reason for himself again.

Glancing at Cirillo, Cirillo understood it, went to the door and took out the wire to fiddle with it a few times, and successfully opened the door of the cabin.

Simon walked into the wooden house first, and what he faced was a messy "living room". Washing racks, kitchens, and sundries were all piled up in this small room.

In this small wooden house of less than 20 square meters, an inverted T-shaped wooden wall divides the whole wooden house into three rooms, namely the "living room" that Simon saw with his eyes, and two small bedrooms.

The two small and simple bedrooms didn't even have doors, they were just covered with two rectangular pieces of linen.

Simon walked through the living room a few steps and lifted the curtain of a bedroom, which was empty.

"Could it be the blood wolf, take the one-eyed mother away!" With a fluke mentality, Simon raised the curtain of another bedroom.

In the small and simple bedroom, the one-eyed old mother who had no one to support had already starved to death on the bed!

Immediately, a sense of sadness welled up in his heart, and Simon's emotions collapsed directly. Tears flowed out of his eyes, and he leaned against the door of the bedroom, and his whole body sat on the ground paralyzed.

For the first time since crossing into this world, he felt his own weakness, the first time he felt the sadness of the poor people, the first time he felt his own incompetence, and the first time he felt his own shamelessness!

Obviously they had promised the one-eyed one before, why did the three of them allow the one-eyed mother to starve to death on the bed.

Sitting helplessly on the ground, tears welled up in his eyes.

In a trance, Simon seemed to see the old man, because she had been bedridden for many years and had already lost her ability to move. Hunger made her eagerly wait for her son to come home.

But because he couldn't wait for his son to come home, he could only starve to death on the bed in the end!

Simon is a very sensible person and a very strong person. Since he awakened all his memories at the age of seven, he has never cried again.

But this time the emotional breakdown made him slump on the ground and cry for a whole day.

The guard Cirillo sighed helplessly outside the door, and there was a trace of fatigue and sadness in his eyes. This world is always so **** annoying!

In the evening, after venting his emotions, Simon cleaned up his red eyes and the tears on his cheeks, and walked out of the cabin with a gloomy expression.

"Go and let the blood wolf give me an explanation!" Simon's eyes flashed with anger.

When he left the slums before, he had a premonition that there might be something that would hinder the church, so he gave the blood wolf a bag of gold coins in advance, and asked the blood wolf to take care of the one-eyed mother first.

But now, the one-eyed mother starved to death in bed.

Blood Wolf has to give him an explanation, otherwise he doesn't mind sending Blood Wolf to heaven, and let Blood Wolf explain to One Eye himself.

"Yes!" Seeing Simon so angry for the first time, Cirillo replied in a heartbeat.

Cirillo went to look for the blood wolf, and Simon sat on the steps in front of the cabin, quietly waiting for Cirillo to bring the blood wolf.

As the church's top demon hunter, Cirillo's intelligence reconnaissance, arrest, and interrogation are absolutely top-notch. Simon never worried that he would not find the blood wolf.

After waiting for a long time, Cirillo's figure appeared again, but Simon did not see the blood wolf.

"Master Simon!" Cirillo hesitated, not knowing what to say.

"Say it! I'm more stable than you think!" Simon said with a cold face.

"Before there was such a commotion in the slums, when the city guards and the magistrate came in to search, Joshua's imprisoning noble women as slaves was also exposed by some people."

"After we left, the gray gangs in the slums were bloodbathed. The blood wolves and other gang bosses were all taken away that day!" Cirillo said bitterly.

I thought it was the blood wolf who didn't keep his promise, but he didn't expect that he couldn't help himself, so who can blame him for this shit!

Simon's breathing suddenly became heavy. The accidents in this world always make people so caught off guard.

Irina is a princess of the royal family. She did not say hello to anyone that day, and entered a place like a slum area without a guard. In the end, she was covered in blood and mud. She will definitely be grounded when she returns!

After returning to the cathedral, he, the holy son of the church, was arranged to deal with the affairs of the royal capital Acropolis, and it took him seven or eight days to leave.

Blood Wolf, the boss of the gang ordered by Simon, was actually taken away that day, and is still locked in a cell waiting to be executed.

Of the three people who were rescued by Cyclops, none of them was able to take care of Cyclops' mother afterwards!

"Grass!" Simon kicked away the stone beside his feet. The pain from his toes could not cover up his guilt that he had nowhere to vent.

Sitting on the wooden steps again, and wanting to keep the tears down, Simon hastily raised his head stubbornly, trying not to let himself cry again.

Cirillo stood beside Simon in silence. These things are useless to comfort, and Simon can only bear it with his own strength.

After getting over the pain in his heart, Simon took Cirillo and left here.

He found a coffin shop, bought an exquisite black coffin, and buried the one-eyed mother's body in the church cemetery.

Seeing the piles of soil gradually burying the coffin, Simon was filled with pain and powerlessness.

Simon stood in front of the one-eyed mother's tombstone all night, and remained silent all night.

The next day, Simon came to the cathedral again, found Pope Moonlight, and told him what he had been thinking about all night.

"You want to open some workshops on the outskirts of the city and recruit helpers from poor areas!" The Pope looked at the holy son of the church in surprise.

Simon feels to him now, as if he has grown a lot overnight!

"Yes, most of the people living in the slums are single-parent families, orphans, disabled people, and elderly people who have no one to support them."

"They basically have no source of income, and can only rely on begging and relief to get by. I want to make a living for them!" Simon replied with a serious expression.

The Pope's expression became serious: "Do you have any ideas and plans?"

"Have!"

"Are there enough funds?"

"Have!"

"Do you have firm determination and will?"

This time Simon was silent for a moment, and then his eyes gradually became resolute: "Yes!"

The Pope looked at the resolute Simon, and suddenly felt a little dazed. Is that heartless child finally starting to grow up?

"Go to the Archbishop! Let him take you to find His Majesty the King. This matter must be approved by the royal family!" After the Pope finished speaking, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Simon got up and bowed respectfully, then left the room.

Watching Simon leave, the Pope suddenly smiled wryly. Seeing Simon today, he felt that he was already old for a while.

"Really! He's only in his seventies!" the Pope murmured with a wry smile.

After finding the archbishop, he took the church's carriage to the palace. Simon and the archbishop got off the carriage and told the guards at the door that they wanted to see the old king.

"Your Majesty the Archbishop, it is a coincidence that you are here, Your Majesty is going to see an opera!" The guard replied respectfully.

Simon was speechless after hearing this. So many people died in the slums and the Acropolis just now, yet His Majesty is still in the mood to go to the opera.

Reluctantly, they got into the carriage again, and the two came to the only song and dance theater in the capital.

In the airtight theater, the actors on the stage are performing hard, and the old king is sitting on the top floor, watching with great interest while tasting the fine wine in his hand~www.wuxiaspot.com~.

The accompanying knights hurried over and whispered a few words beside the old king. The old king frowned slightly, not understanding what the archbishop was looking for at this time.

Following the knight to another box, the old king saw the archbishop who was waiting here, and Simon who the old king didn't want to see.

He always felt that there was a curse on Simon. Every time he saw him or just heard his name, it must be something bad.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing the old king enter the box, Simon and the archbishop saluted at the same time.

The old king waved his hand as a return gift to the two of them. After the three of them sat down, the old king smiled and asked in doubt: "Why did you two get mixed up?"

According to the old king's understanding, the archbishop presided over the work in the cathedral all year round, and generally would not leave the cathedral without the direct order of the pope.

Simon is a student of the School of Magic and the heir of the Hawke family. Although he has a lot of ghost ideas and can indeed make a lot of money, the two should not have any intersection!

"Hey, that's how it is. Today, Master Simon came to us, hoping to cooperate with our church. He wanted to build some workshops and provide a livelihood for the people in the slums, but this requires your Majesty's consent."

The archbishop didn't blush and his heart didn't beat, and he didn't even type a draft when he talked about panic.

Simon is the Holy Son of the church, and the church doesn't want the royal family to know that once Simon's identity is revealed, there will be many open and dark arrows following.

The old king pondered first, sorted out the information that the archbishop said, and then looked at Simon: "It's interesting to give the people in the slums a livelihood, tell me what you think!"

"It's like this, Your Majesty..." Simon said his thoughts.
