after being forced to become a heartthrob

The king's illness improved somewhat because of Indra. When the hot summer passed and the cool autumn days slowly approached, the government affairs handed over to Hillman slowly returned to the hands of the king who was able to leave the sick bed.

Because Nurian won the battle, although he lost some young and strong citizens, but also because he plundered a lot of money from the defeated country, the country's economy developed and prospered rapidly.This kind of prosperity is visible to the naked eye. At the beginning, when Wen Rao went out from the royal city of Nurian, he saw that the products sold on the street were all unprocessed products. Now it has only been a few months. , It has doubled, most of which are the most advanced domestic technological products of the defeated countries in this war. Nurian conquered their land and began to absorb their culture at the same time.

Although these things are very backward for Wen Rao, he is still quite curious about this world where even magic exists.Therefore, he began to leave the temple frequently and go to and from the market.

The same is true for Wen Rao today, because of the inconvenience caused by the priest's robe, he has become used to changing into casual clothes.As the guards protecting the nobles, he also ordered them to take off their tight armor and put on civilian clothes to conceal their identities.

Just as Wen Rao was standing in front of a spice vendor, dipping his fingers in the essence and smelling it, there was a sudden commotion beside him.

"What happened?" Wen Rao put the spice down.

Arnold, who changed into casual clothes like him, stood beside him, looked up and down for a while, and then replied, "It's Roland's tribute convoy."

Roland is a country that fought against Nurian. Their country is quite rich and prosperous. In this war, they not only plundered their rich treasures, but also signed a tribute contract with them-every year, Roland will donate half of his domestic income to Nurian.

Wen Rao watched a long convoy entering Nurian. The convoy transported not only treasure chests containing belongings, but also prison cars escorting beauties and teenagers.

Because his gentle eyes stopped on the prison car, Arnold explained to him, "That's Roland's tribute slave."

"Slave?" Wen Rao thought that it was enough to just pay tribute and treasure.

As Roland of the defeated country, the people who transported the offerings did not have a smile on their faces. In addition, he was wearing a black and red robe, which made him look even more solemn and sad.

When the convoy passed by Wen Rao and the flow of people in the market resumed, Arnold asked in a low voice, "Master Priest, do you still want to go shopping?"

Wen Rao, who had been walking around the market all afternoon, said, "No, let's go back to the palace."

Back in the palace's shrine, Wen Rao was still preoccupied, and he wasn't even in the mood to change out of his casual clothes.He stood in front of the golden idol, looked up at the god with the sword in his hand, and looked down at him.As a servant of a god who walks in the world instead of a god statue, Wen Rao is naturally clear about the origin of this god statue - the god of war, who conquers everything.

This was no longer the world he was familiar with, but a more barbaric place than chaotic Florida.As a priest, his duty is not to save the civilians, but to bless the army so that they will be more invincible in the war.

After returning from following Wen Rao, A Nuo found that he was not in the right mood. After changing into the armor of the chief guard, he still secretly stood outside the window of the temple and peeked.Because his eyes were too presumptuous, he even noticed the gentleness that was distracted by the statue. He turned his head and looked at the figure outside the blurred window, "Who is outside?"

The window was pushed open, and Arnold stood outside holding his helmet, "My lord."

"It's you." The gentle expression relaxed a little, "Do you have anything to tell me?"

Arnold nodded, then shook his head again.

Wen Rao was amused by his reaction, the sudden pity just now disappeared completely, "Come in."

With permission from the priest, Arnold took off his sword before entering the temple.

"Master Priest, who are you praying for?" Arnold stood in front of Wen Rao who was looking up at the temple, and after both of them were silent for a long time, he opened his mouth to say such a sentence.

Wen Rao was still thinking about coming up with a high-sounding excuse to fool A Nuo, a believer, and A Nuo spoke again, "Or, are you sad because you saw those slaves?"

Wen Rao lowered his eyes, and met A Nuo who was watching him beside him.

He did have some pessimistic thoughts because of those slaves, but it was by no means sad.The law of the jungle is a law that is believed in everywhere, but the way this world demonstrates this law is more brutal and rude.But he knew that as a kind priest, such cruel words could never be uttered, "I just sympathize with them—leave my own country, and be enshrined to other countries as goods." Wait, he said this Is it too reactionary?After all, he is now the priest of Nurian.

Arnold was born as a commoner, and his heart is much softer than that of nobles.Therefore, he has no resistance to the gentle and kind priest.

Wen Rao fell silent again because he was afraid that what he said would be used as fuss.His silence, in Arnold's eyes, was a manifestation of sadness.He wanted to comfort the kind priest in front of him, but he still didn't know how to speak.

Wen Rao was covered in hairs by his complicated gaze, and coughed, "Arnuo."

Arnold immediately stood up straight, as if waiting for his order.

"If it's okay, you can go out." It's impossible for him to match up with the chief guard's brain circuit.So when thinking about the complex issue of civilized human nature, he should be alone.

Arnold agreed, turned and left.When he reached the entrance of the temple, he couldn't help but stop again - he didn't just serve the priest Wen Rao, he also saw him from afar when Mo was still there.But at that time, the priests were aloof and would never allow civilians like them to enter the temple.However, he is different.

A Nuo looked at the gentleness standing in front of the statue, still wearing only casual clothes.Without the priest's black robe covering his whole body, he seemed more approachable than others.Plus he's different from everyone else.Arnold followed him, saw him treat civilians, and saw him feel compassion for the slaves who had nothing to do with him.

In this world, there is no one more perfect than him.Arnold was so determined at this moment.

The curtain at the entrance of the temple is used to isolate the prying eyes from the outside, shaking and colliding to make a crisp sound. The image in Anuo's mind just now is as gentle as the gods. , is also a rude language that is completely inconsistent with his identity, "I have no use for being compassionate here!"

……

The slaves paid by Roland, beautiful ones will be screened by the nobles, and they will be used as male and female servants, while ordinary ones, or those with certain defects, will be auctioned among the common people.Wen Rao, who often went shopping in the market, was lucky enough to buy a slave.

To be honest, there were dozens if not dozens of servants in the temple, and it was more than enough to serve him as a priest. He bought this slave in the market because of that person's eyes.

You must know that the nobles and commoners of Nurian mostly have blue or dark brown eyes, but the slave who was auctioned off had a pair of pure black eyes.Her appearance is very outstanding, but because of her pure black pupils, she was not favored by the nobles, so she was sent to the market for auction.Just when everyone watching was talking about her because of her pupil color, Wen Rao had already stepped forward to buy her.

The black eyes really made him feel so intimate.

When slaves were auctioned, they were not allowed to wear clothes, so the girl just sat on the ground, wrapping her arms around her body, and gently asked Arnold to buy a piece of bright cloth to wrap her body. After the body, let her stand up.When this girl from Roland looked at Wen Rao, her entire face was filled with uneasiness.

"Would you like to come with me?" Wen Rao only regarded this as a casual effort.If he doesn't buy this girl, then this girl is likely to be reduced to a very miserable situation.

Roland's girl nodded.

When Wen Rao brought her back to the temple in the palace, the girl was trembling all the time.

A Nuo looked at Wen Rao as if he wanted to bring the girl back to the temple, and said hesitantly, "Does the priest want to bring her back to the temple?"

"En." Wen Rao said, "Isn't it possible?"

"Of course, it's just..." The identity of this girl is really too sensitive.After other nobles bought slaves, they would shackle them and stamp their marks on them within one to three years, but the priest obviously wouldn't do that.

"Just what?"

A Nuo took this as the kindness of the priest, and he couldn't say anything to stop him, "It's nothing. You should be more careful."

When Wen Rao heard A Nuo's words, he was puzzled for a while, be careful?Beware of this girl stealing.It's not because he was on low alert, but this Roland's girl was tortured and emaciated on the way from Roland to Nuri'an, and she couldn't even stand upright.

Wen Rao arranged for her to be a maid in the temple. Because of the language barrier, she was asked to do simple tasks.Half a month later, when even Arnold was about to put down his guard, this girl suddenly did something big.

When she was at the banquet, she suddenly appeared, grabbed the dagger and rushed to the king.

Wen Rao, who played the role of the background board, was taken aback by her sudden appearance. When everyone exclaimed, the princess had already stepped forward to block her dagger with her body.The dagger was intended to stab the king's heart, but the sudden appearance of the princess caused the dagger to deviate and only stabbed the princess in the shoulder.

The Roland girl who was holding the dagger was caught and pinned to the ground, because when she was in the temple, she hardly spoke, Wen Rao thought it was because of a language barrier, but at this moment, she suddenly screamed madly——

"You murderer of my parents!"

"Because of you, I was forced to leave Roland!"

The guard took the dagger from her hand, stomped on her back, and crushed her to the ground.The princess's injury made the king furious. He summoned his most trusted prince Hillman and asked him to investigate the origin of this slave.

It was only at this time that Wen Rao understood what A Nuo meant by telling him to be careful.Because of his black eyes, he was moved with compassion, but he didn't expect to bring a disaster for himself.

When the angry king ordered to severely punish the master of the slave, Wen Rao stood up, "She is my slave."

The banquet fell silent for a moment, and Prince Hillman and the princess, who were standing beside the king, looked over together.The princess covered her shoulders and looked at him from a distance, "My lord—"

Wen Rao came out from behind his seat. He knew the origin of this slave, and according to Prince Hillman's method of handling affairs, he would be found out soon.Instead of waiting until that time, he might as well admit it now.Wen Rao walked to the middle of the banquet and knelt down in front of the king and princess, "Because of my negligence, I brought her into the palace. It's my fault."

The silver hair that slipped from the black robe almost fell to the ground because his head was so low.

The princess wanted to protect him, and kept telling the king, "It's the slave who committed the crime with the priest's sympathy, and has nothing to do with the priest."

Such a major event as a slave assassinating the king, even the princess can't easily handle it.In addition, Prince Hillman is still here.

"But the slave who assassinated the king was brought into the palace by the priest, that's a fact." Hillman said calmly.

The banquet, which had been in a lively atmosphere just now, suddenly fell silent.

"Even if he is a priest, his identity cannot be the reason for his exoneration. Otherwise, in the future, the nobles will not be able to manage their slaves well, and will push the slaves to their own kindness and mistakes. Who will be responsible for the safety of the royal family?" To guarantee it?"

In terms of emotion and reason, what Hillman said was very fair.Just because the object of his conviction was the priest, the princess had the illusion that he was deliberately taking revenge on the priest.

The king, who had already recovered a lot, stood up from his seat, "Hillman is right."

Wen Rao hasn't encountered any danger since he crossed here, but now he encountered such a situation, which made his mentality change at this moment.

"Stabbing the royal family shall be punished by hanging—"

Before the king's voice fell to the ground, the princess screamed out of control, "No! I don't agree!"

Prince Hillman was also taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect the king to directly mention the hanging.

Wen Rao's hands that were tucked into his sleeves couldn't help shaking.Is he going to die because of something like this?No!

"However, the priest cured me of my illness and also lifted Nurian's curse once. I will forgive him and save him from hanging, but as punishment, he will still be whipped."

Wen Rao, who had been trembling all this time, finally stopped trembling at this moment.The cold sweat on his forehead has also dripped down his cheeks to the ground at this moment.

He doesn't want to die.No matter what, he wants to live.

The princess also breathed a sigh of relief. She covered her wound and looked at Wen Rao.Wen Rao finally stood up from the ground, and in the eyes of others, the expression on his face remained unchanged.

"Since this is your slave, it's up to you to deal with it." The king said kindly.

Wen Rao glanced at the slave who was pinned to the ground by the guards. He bought her, brought her back to the palace, and gave her shelter so that she would not be subjected to all kinds of miserable treatment that slaves would suffer.But she almost killed him.This is really ironic.

Wen Rao walked over, and he said to the guards, "Let her get up."

The guard grabbed the slave's arm and made her rise from the ground.Wen Rao saw hatred and unwillingness in the eyes of this Roland girl. To her, he was also a villain who ruined her country and family, that's all.

Wen Rao looked at her pair of dark eyes, because of these eyes, he bought her.but now--

"Chong-"

The broad sword at the guard's waist was pulled out by Wen Rao, without saying a word, he stabbed the sword into the girl's abdomen.

He almost died too.

A large amount of blood flowed down from the scabbard, covering the tender and snow-white palm.He turned around and saluted the king calmly.Meaning he's done with his slaves.
