I Like This Dream!
Chapter 38
Dennis' face was very ugly. When he was the deputy abbot of Teven Monastery, he had never encountered such an unreasonable soldier. He felt a burst of anger at this kind of greeting, and at the same time he couldn't help being frightened.
The city of Teven is located in the Lisibe Plain, in the hinterland of southern Amen. It is a prosperous and stable commercial capital. The work of the Twin City Patrol focuses on detailed law enforcement, arbitration, and mediation, and its force is not as strong as the rangers of Eberli, let alone the border troops who are trained under the annual beast tide. Dennis had never seen such a massive army. The armor clanked, the hoofs of the war horses made dull thunders, the silent team ordered and prohibited, and stepped heavily on the muddy water on the ground. Dennis's robe feet were splashed with mud. He dared not speak out in anger. He thought to himself, I'm afraid the Royal Guards are nothing more than this, right?
"Sir General," the new abbot reluctantly saluted, "may I ask what kind of hospitality you can do by keeping us outside the city?"
"Oh, what a coincidence, there is a group of bandits running around recently." Jane said nonchalantly, "Our soldiers are out fighting alien beasts, we can't let them worry about whether their families will be harassed by these unearned beasts. While we're at it, Just after the summer vacation, the defense line was tightened and the bandits were suppressed. I'm really sorry for delaying the reception of the distinguished guests. "
"Where is it? You must have gained a lot, right?" Dennis smiled and used the steps to uncover this, "The General is really kind."
"It's been really rewarding."
Jane glanced at him intriguingly and waved. The teams behind him immediately separated and stood on both sides. The knights dismounted and took off their helmets. Jane held the horse and led the group of them towards the city. There was nothing wrong with the greeting etiquette, but this female alpha was a head taller than Dennis. Her tall figure and vigorous pace made the people behind her look like As a foil, it seems that they are followers.
Dennis looked around uncomfortably. Every silent soldier on the roadside had the aura of toughness that had experienced life and death battles. He felt something was wrong with the attention of these two people. He looked at the gods' favored person and the ascetic monk next to him, and thought to himself, the "gargoyle" who came from the ascetic monastery was just that. The god's favored person wouldn't be scared silly. ?
The Great Ascetic Monastery is the most mysterious institution of the Holy See. The ascetic monks who come out of it are extremely pious and determined. Like her compatriots in the monastery, who were secretly called "gargoyles" by others, Lydia had an expressionless face, and no one knew what she was thinking.
As for Anna Sullivan, the God's Favorite...she was looking around, looking like she was frightened.
Anxu looked at the armies on both sides and regretted for a moment that there were no beauties. He immediately studied the boots, armor, weapons, flags and horses full of ancient Western style with relish. She wasn't afraid at all. To be honest, why should she be afraid? Even in reality, this "army" is at best a great stage performance, the level of Songcheng's eternal love. Throughout the whole process, she was praising in her mind: "Oh, oh, this equestrian skill is amazing!" "It's very neat!" "The female general is so handsome when she takes off her helmet and shakes her hair!" - she almost started clapping her hands.
The army in her concept is the majestic phalanx in a military parade, the hundreds of thousands of armies clashing and fighting in ancient TV shows, and the demon king's army and several races that cover the sky in the game. Not being able to see the leading and trailing coalition forces, she regarded this place as a fantasy copy, and naturally did not consider the situation where there were only a few thousand people in a national war.
An Xu thought, he welcomed us at the entrance of the performance. This general was quite kind.
With such random thoughts, they had already entered the city. There were many people on both sides of the road, quietly watching the group of people in robes behind the general. They whispered from time to time, and An Xu couldn't understand the expressions on their faces for a while. Anyway, it was not a happy welcome.
"General!" Dennis suddenly took a breath, pointing a finger forward and shaking, "What does this mean!"
An Xu followed his finger and saw something like a shelf in the square in front, with a bunch of heads hanging on it. The head was surrounded by flies, and the men, women, and children could not be clearly seen. It could only be seen that they all seemed to have a bald patch on their heads. There was still dried blood on the ground, which looked disgusting.
"Every felon here will be imprisoned for several months after being beheaded. Doesn't the dean know?" Jane stopped, turned around and said.
"These people! Why are these people tonsured?" Dennis said angrily.
Why? Shave? An Xu looked intently and saw that those hairs were indeed not bald, but more like a piece of hair shaved off.
The Illuminati Sect also has a tonsure ceremony, but those who are tonsured are not formal priests from colleges or monasteries, but converts who have become monks halfway. These converts took an oath to serve the gods, and as long as they were recognized by the local monastery, they could be ordained and take refuge in the monastery.
"Yeah, it's really surprising." Jane said in a long voice, "I'm also very surprised, why do these beasts from the fish and meat village shave their heads?"
Dennis keenly felt the unkindness in the other party's voice. He suppressed his anger and said: "Perhaps the general should check carefully before arresting? If the criminals may be related to the monastery, shouldn't they be handed over to the monastery for disposal?"
"Well said!" Jane cheered, striding towards the heads, "Of course we can't arrest without evidence, David, bring the evidence!"
The adjutant named David came out to salute and quickly brought the "evidence" over. A dozen civilians and soldiers came out, and a dozen boxes were pushed onto the square, making a loud thud as they landed. Jane stood next to a head and said loudly: "Zach Bessemer!"
"Forcibly occupying people's homes, plundering property, and lynching innocent people on fabricated charges," David said.
A box was opened, revealing the gorgeous crystal statue inside. A young man stood up, looked at the head with a numb face, moved his lips, and said nothing.
"Nathaniel Godwin!"
"They raped, robbed, and raped several omegas. When they failed, they used hot oil to disfigure the victims."
The woman with her face covered in black gauze stood up. She lifted the gauze on her face, revealing a horribly twisted face. The intact half of her face could still be seen from its former beauty.
"Philip Wheeler!"
"A self-proclaimed cleric molested many children in the name of praying."
An aunt dressed as a butcher came out. She spat at the head, stared at Dennis and the others with her bull eyes, and growled: "This bastard in a robe killed my son! All the children in the choir suffered. He has a poisonous hand! I should have cut off a few of his pieces, chopped them up and fed them to the dogs!"
Her spit hit Daniel's face, and the guard symbolically stopped her, only to prevent her swinging fist from hitting the abbot.
One head leads to the next, each one containing loot and a victim. The red-haired general looked at Denis coldly. The new abbot was so pierced by her stare that he did not dare to look at him, so he had to look towards the square. He noticed uneasily that there were more and more people on the side of the square. They listened in silence to the adjutant reading out the charges, and looked at the heads and outsiders in robes like a group of carrion birds with cold eyes.
"Then, Mr. Dean," Jane turned around next to the last head and sneered, "can you see clearly, are these sinners related to the monastery?"
Dennis was speechless.
In the beginning, when Yamonan was just a union of several human sanctuaries, humans had not yet been able to fully establish a foothold under the siege of alien beasts. Every human being was precious. Those who were ordained at that time were all criminals, which meant that they did not have to serve a sentence because they had dedicated their lives to God: they had no right to any wealth and would become the death squads at the forefront of the church's response to the tide of alien beasts.
Now that the human realm has been basically stabilized, conversion has become the best option for criminals who have money, power, and force, but do not have enough money or power to escape crime. They are basically private soldiers of the monastery. They enjoy the protection of the Holy See, and at the same time they also do shady and dirty things for the Holy See. This kind of thing is more common in the more remote places, and has become a tacitly accepted unspoken rule. The Stewart family only started to be favored by the king from Jane's father's generation, and they didn't have much background. How could Jane dare to break this tacit rule? Could it be that His Majesty the King is starting to take action against the Holy See?
Jian Dingding looked at him, still waiting for an answer. Dennis forced a smile and said: "Of course, this must be an impostor who ruined the reputation of the Holy See."
"That's great." The general smiled, showing his beast-like canine teeth, "Otherwise we would have to ask the abbot to go to the monastery to check. After all, the previous abbot of Thebes Monastery left in a hurry and did not have time to stay. Hand over the letter of acceptance."
Dennis felt a thump in his heart and complained secretly. He knew why he was so good and suddenly received an order! He also thought about wooing a favored person by mobilizing him to be completely overqualified. Now it seems that the former abbot may not have vacated his position because of his failure in the power struggle. If I had known there was something wrong with this fat guy, he would have stayed in Tewen even if he was pretending to be sick!
When every abbot leaves office, he should put together a list of the monastery's property to prevent anyone from embezzling or embezzling money during the handover process, but now the general says there is no such thing. Dennis suddenly couldn't stand, and the part of him from the commercial capital screamed, asking him to rush to the monastery to check the property damage.
"General, it would be great if you could clear the monastery's name. All the brothers and sisters will be grateful for your righteousness." Dennis said stiffly, "It's not too early now..."
"Oh, look at me, I will tell you all the things that will ruin the scenery." Jane suddenly laughed boldly, clapped her hands, and asked the soldiers to disperse the crowd. She enthusiastically grabbed Dennis's arm, pulled him and said as she walked: "I am a rough man. I am so busy dealing with these bastards that I have forgotten the most important thing! The dean and His Excellency the God's Favored One are here. Be sure to try the specialties of Thebes Defense Line! It’s not too early now, the banquet is about to start, so be sure to enjoy it!”
"That's it..."
"...Being respectful is worse than obeying orders!"
Just when Dennis was about to shirk, Anxu responded quickly. She watched and wandered around for a while, then suddenly emerged and quickly grasped the key points. The corners of the abbot's mouth twitched, and he missed the best opportunity to escape.
