Areas that believe in the God of Light have their own unique funeral customs. Families with conditions will invite priests to preside over the funeral after the death of their loved ones. People believe that if the deceased can be buried in the prayers of the priest, the soul can return to the God of Light and gain Eternal peace.On the other hand, if one dies in the wild without the priest's prayers to guide him, his soul will wander in the world and never rest in peace.

Even for sinners who are about to be executed, the church will show a certain degree of mercy in the face of death. As long as sinners honestly repent of their faults and pray for the forgiveness of the God of Light before being executed, they can be buried in the cemetery of the church after being executed. There will be priests praying for it, while heretics and blasphemers will be burned at the stake. The believers of the God of Light firmly believe that those who are burned to death can only go to hell. -- "Encyclopedia of Fei Nuo Continental Customs"

After Evandel escaped from his own dream, he fell into another dream, surrounded by buildings with white walls and red tiles and religious decorations. The city of Mikalan, the headquarters of the Knights Templar, then this should be the nightmare of Palos.

But why is the holy city of Mikalan the most feared place in Palos?Avandell couldn't figure it out. He walked along the silent and blurred street. In front of him was the Church Square, where some heinous criminals would be publicly executed. The square was full of people, and a public trial was going on.

Evandel seemed to understand a little bit. He looked from a high place and saw that it was indeed Palos who was being judged on the stage. The heavy shackles and shackles restricted his movement. The armor of the former emblem - this is a symbol of shame. He was escorted by two soldiers and could only kneel on the stage. The former mentor Kent read out his crimes one by one with the trial book, and then asked him severely: "You Do you plead guilty?!"

"No!" Palos raised his head stubbornly, looked at the white-haired kind old man on the rostrum, and anxiously defended himself, "My lord, there is a reason for me to do this, they violated their own The oath, killed mercenaries and innocent villagers, and is still planning a conspiracy that will kill countless people!"

The pope looked at him with pity and said: "Poor boy, don't you understand... There was no conspiracy at all, and no mercenary or villager was killed because of this. The only one who was killed in this matter was your colleague." We. It was originally a test of your faith, to test whether you still maintain a firm belief in such a situation, but the answer you handed over was that you believed the words of others without hesitation, even to your colleagues. Wield the butcher knife, you let us all down."

Palos said in disbelief: "No! They wanted to kill me first, I was just forced to fight back!"

Kent angrily reprimanded: "They just wanted to catch you back. They didn't expect you to kill them. If it wasn't for this reason, you have been receiving the same training all the time. How can you defeat five of them by yourself?"

Palos couldn't refute. How he won the one-to-five battle at the beginning, he couldn't say it himself.

The pope sighed sadly: "Confess your sins, child, there is no point in continuing to quibble. The God of Light will forgive those souls who make mistakes but know to repent. If you don't even have the courage to admit your mistakes, then no one will save you." Not you."

Under that majestic gaze, Palos finally bowed his head in pain: "I...I plead guilty."

Kent said sternly: "Then do you admit to murdering six of your colleagues, wounding several others, and sitting back and watching the servant of the mage - a demon kill the members of the Knights Templar who have lost their resistance in front of you?" .”

"Yes." Palos trembled slightly, and he didn't even have the courage to look up at those eyes of condemnation and contempt, and the crowd booed.

"You have violated the commandment of greed, not only taking money and items from the mage, but also a set of valuable armor. You regard these as your own private property, don't you?"

"Yes." Palos' head drooped even lower, and the accusations of the onlookers became louder.

"You also violated the precepts of lust and had an improper physical relationship with the mage. Do you plead guilty?"

This breaking news caused an uproar among the onlookers. Amidst the ridicule and curses of the crowd, Palos shook his head and defended himself weakly again: "No, that's not lust, I love him."

Avandell was quietly looking for the cracks in the dream around him, and turned his head to look at Palos on the high platform in surprise when he heard this.

Kent stared at him in disbelief: "You should know very well that he is a mage and a man!"

Palos gritted his teeth, and said in a firmer voice than before: "Yes, he is a man, but I love him!"

"That's obviously lust!" Kent yelled loudly, "Have you lost even the most basic sense of shame? As a Templar, you were lured by an evil male mage, indulged in sinful desires, and brazenly swearing for you Justify yourself, don't you forget how he tricked you into killing your colleagues, and then ruthlessly abandoned you after using it, but you are still obsessed with it, your dirty soul is not worthy of redemption at all!"

Kent turned to the Pope and shouted, "I beg him to be burned at the stake!"

The crowd of onlookers echoed loudly, the voices became louder and louder: "Fire! Fire! Fire!"

The pope raised his hand to silence the chanting of the enthusiastic audience. He looked at Palos: "Son, I will give you one last chance. Do you plead guilty?"

"I don't plead guilty." Palos looked up at them unyieldingly, "Love is not a sin, even if he cheated me and abandoned me, I still love him."

The pope said regretfully: "In this case, I have no choice but to sentence you...to be burned at the stake in accordance with the Islamic law."

Evandel has found the crack in this dream, but he found that he got the wrong direction from the beginning. He can't destroy this dream, because it is not his dream, and Palos can only wake up by himself.

At this time, the guards had quickly set up the pyre, and the desperate Palos was tied to the stake without any resistance. Amid the loud applause of the crowd, the executive officer lit the firewood.

Evandel knew that Palos would not be really burned to death in the dream, but he would still feel real pain and fear, and those would become the food of the Nightmare Lord, no matter what the consequences were, he had to stand up and stop it.

He used a spell, and all the water in the nearby fountain rose into the air and turned into a water ball, which hit the already lit woodpile. The fire was extinguished, and Evandel in the crowd also exposed himself.

"...Evandel?" Palos, who was immobile, looked at him in surprise.

If it was in reality, the onlookers might not have the guts to do so, but this is Palos' dream. Whatever Palos thinks they will do, they will do, so all the people around rush forward to attack the mage.

Evandel cast a spell to float himself into the air. Facing the turbulent crowd like zombies, he wanted to use a chain lightning magic to stun them, but after the spell was cast, what appeared was not lightning, but the lightning that he had used before. To kill the powerful attack magic "Black Blade" of the King of Bones, and this time not three, hundreds of black blades formed by condensed magic appeared densely in the air.

Evandel remembered that he once described to Palos the spectacular scene of his ancestor Sharma summoning hundreds of black sword blades at a time. He did not expect Palos to be so impressed. He laughed at himself: "It seems that you are right I'm very confident in my strength and cruelty... Forget it, it's just a dream anyway."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the black blade whirled and smashed everything present. The Pope, Kent, guards, buildings, and statues were all cut to pieces.

"No! Stop it, please!" Palos could only struggle helplessly, watching Evandel slaughter all the people present.

After the black blade disappeared, there was only deathly silence in the square that was still full of people just now. Evandel stepped on the corpse to Palos who was still tied to the stake. When the Templar was put down, he collapsed to the ground. , bowed his head and did not dare to open his eyes, looking painful and desperate.

All of this, including the massacre just now, appeared because of his imagination, but it was the scene he was most afraid of seeing, because it was his nightmare after all.

Evandel held up his face forcefully: "Palos, open your eyes and look at me."

"I don't want to see you." Palos frowned and closed his eyes tightly, and said in pain, "I don't want to be seduced by you anymore, I have committed a lot of crimes, and I deserved to be burned at the stake. You shouldn't come, You lied to me and abandoned me, why do you still come to save me now?"

"Listen, I don't care what bitter scenes you make up for yourself, I never abandoned you." Evandel held his face and said firmly, "It's all fake, it's just The hallucinations and nightmares caused by the Nightmare Lord, hurry up and wake up."

"What Nightmare Lord?" Palos opened his eyes, looking sadly at the bloody corpses all around him, "How could all this be an illusion? You are trying to lie to me again, I really don't understand what else I have to deceive you ?”

Sure enough, he didn't remember, the Nightmare Lord would stop him from remembering everything related, and Palos obviously didn't have as good mental resistance as a mage, Evandel could only sigh and say: "Yeah, think about what else is worth it for you." I cheated, think about why I have to open my eyes and tell lies with my IQ, and make up such a completely unbelievable lie? The dream has a certain logic, but it still can’t justify itself after all. Think about the illogical part of it .”

"Isn't it logical...?" Palos thought for a while, then looked up at him again, "Are you really... aren't you lying to me?"

Evandel said patiently: "Do you still remember that we went north to the tribe of the barbarians? Geer's mother asked us to track down a snow monster. We found the entrance to the space where the necromancer Nick hid above the frozen lake. remember these?"

Palos frowned and thought hard: "...I seem to have some impressions..."

"Then can you remember how you were caught here, and where did Phils and Alkai go? As long as I have one breath, how could I not come to rescue you, how could I just sit and watch you be blatantly raped by them?" Humiliation and humiliation?"
