after being forced to become a heartthrob

Chapter 161 His Great Demon King

"Doesn't my coming represent God's will?" The more people paid attention to her, the calmer Wen Rao became.

Wen Rao is a priest, a believer who walks in the world of God. This seemingly unreasonable sentence, uttered from his mouth, is full of irrefutable power.

"It was God who asked me to save him." The extinguished fire rack still carried fiery air waves, and Wen Rao could still feel the burning of his skin even standing next to him, let alone the one who was tied to the fire rack and was almost killed. The boy burned to death.

"Will God show His miracles for a commoner?"

"Why not?" Wen Rao suddenly thought of the kind of person in the history books who incited the people to rebel. Basically, he made his fortune with his mouth. It can be said that the consolidation of any royal power is inseparable from the support of the common people.He turned around, faced the civilians watching the burning, and raised his arms, "Whether you are a nobleman or a commoner, as long as you believe in the gods, the divine light will never give up shining on you!"

His words set off heated discussions among the common people.You know, the priests have always only served the nobles, and his words are tantamount to winning them over.

Some civilians immediately turned against him, "Since God says he is innocent, let him go!"

"Yes, the priest will not lie."

Hillman didn't pay attention to these voices, but instead looked seriously at Wen Rao with his eyes.You know, the previous priests never said the words 'the light of the gods shines on the common people'.Hillman has always been fighting against the nobles for the rights of the common people. Hearing Wen Rao's words now, he couldn't help being touched in his heart, but on the surface, he still acted impartially. , "Since the priest says he is innocent, then I believe that the priest must have evidence to prove his innocence."

Is there any evidence that I can come up with and I will talk to you for so long?It is because there is evidence that cannot be produced that we compare here!

"Can three days be enough?"

Now Hillman can completely taunt him, and then continue to carry out the execution of the fire. Anyway, every year not only in Nurian, but also in other kingdoms, some people who were mistaken for wizards will be executed every year. This is not uncommon.But he wanted to see how much the priest would do for this so-called commoner who was protected by the divine light, "Yes. But after three days, the execution of the fire will continue." After saying this, Hillman ordered People put the young man on the stake down and brought him back to the prison.

Wen Rao didn't expect that Hillman would let go. He thought that Hillman, who had long disliked him, would argue with him on this matter.

Three days, in fact, was more than enough for him.

Wen Rao returned to the temple from the execution ground. Arnold didn't know what happened, but after seeing him come back, he hurriedly walked up to him, "My lord, where did you go just now?"

"Don't ask so many questions, Arnold." Wen Rao didn't want to waste time now, "I need you. Come out of the palace with me now."

Arnold cheered up by the phrase 'I need you', nodded and said, "Okay!"

What happened at the execution ground just now has spread throughout the entire royal city of Nurian. When Wen Rao came to the street with his guards, some civilians who were favored by him or moved by his words took the initiative to Come forward and tell him the identity and address of the boy who was convicted of being a wizard.This saved Wen Rao a lot of time, and he went straight to the boy's house.

The boy was an orphan, the orphan who had been bullied, and his only father, who died on the battlefield of Nurian.The place where he lived was very dilapidated. Standing at the door, he could see the whole picture of the house through the wooden board that could not be called the door.

A Nuo, who was standing behind Wen Rao, knew more or less what Wen Rao had done from the mouths of those common people.He is also a commoner. Although he works in the palace, he still has compassion and sympathy for the commoners at the bottom of society.This is why he worships the priest so wholeheartedly.

"Does he live here?"

The commoner who led the way replied, "Yes, sir."

As soon as Wen Rao stretched out his hand to push the door panel open, the yellow sand fell down rustlingly.Arnold quickly raised his hand and used his own arm to help him block it.

Wen Rao was also shocked by such a crude environment. He stood at the door for a while, but he resolutely pushed A Nuo's arm away and walked in.

The four places in the room are covered with black spells, which is why this boy will be convicted as a wizard.Because the wizard caused too much fear to ordinary people, even if he was captured, no one would dare to touch the spells in his room.Everything in the room remained the same as it was before he was taken away.

Wen Rao has never seen such a spell. The original owner of the body is considered a half-wizard, and most of the magic he practices uses colorless potions as a medium. Such a blatantly ominous black spell is a bit inconsistent. The hidden curse of the wizard.

"Be careful with the curse! My lord priest!" Arnold saw Wen Rao reaching out to pick up a piece of amulet on the table, and he quickly stopped him.

"It's okay, I'm a priest." After Wen Rao finished speaking, he picked up the talisman.

The charm is dyed with some kind of black paint, and there are rough yellow fine lines at the corners, like the most common thin wood boards used to write words in Nurian.Wen Rao touched it, and it was indeed a thin wooden board.

What the hell wizard would write curses on indestructible wooden boards?Is it too long?

"It's not a curse, it's just - some kind of imitation of words." Although Wen Rao wanted to say it very much, it was just a ghostly scribble.

Hearing what he said, Arnold also picked up a veneer from the table.He quickly confirmed that what Wen Rao said was true.

Wen Rao walked along the way, listening to the descriptions of these people who knew those boys, he guessed a lot - because he was an orphan, the boy who was often bullied thought of such a method, using his identity as a wizard , only to intimidate those who bully him.This is also the reason why he has not been arrested until now.

Later, the so-called wizard's magic book he dug out from under the old pillow also proved his guess.

It was actually a heroic hymn that Nurian distributed free of charge to the civilians who died in battle. The young man painted the title page of the book in black and painted red eyeballs to pretend it was a wizard book. It is a poem in memory of the hero and his dry tears.

"I've found evidence to prove his innocence." Wen Rao sighed and closed the book.

……

Sentencing the captured wizard to the stake was an order from the king, and had nothing to do with Hillman who executed it.He could have directly executed that wizard just now, even if it was really a misunderstanding, no one would scold him.But he is different from those cold-blooded nobles who treat civilians as slaves. He mostly has compassion for civilians.This is why he is loved by commoners.

He did not return to the palace, but instead stayed in his residence outside the palace, waiting for his subordinates to report all the information about the priest.He also knows that Wen Rao found the place where the 'wizard' lived and found evidence to prove his innocence.

In fact, he knew more or less in his heart that that poor boy was innocent.But Nurian’s system is like this. In these years, he has replaced the king and managed government affairs too much. There are too many women who don't become military prostitutes to earn money to support their unborn children, and there are too many tragic things.Although Hillman was a prince, he had power, but he couldn't protect everyone.With the grief and regret again and again, his heart gradually became numb. Up to now, the balance in his heart has long been biased towards the side that "most people think is reasonable".

Just for one life, arguing with the king, maybe even being framed by the queen, he has experienced too many such things, so this time he chose to ignore it.

But the priest actually jumped out. Would the priest who did nothing but pray for blessings also stand up for the common people?He even really took to the streets, listening to the voices of civilians, just to save that insignificant life.

Is this also one of his methods?If it is - then Hillman has to admit that this priest is too scary.Because even he couldn't help but have a change in his inherent impression.

While Hillman was sitting in his seat and meditating, Isaac and Ares had strode in at the door.

Isaac saluted him, "Brother."

Hillman adjusted his sitting posture. He knew that the two of them would come here, and he probably also heard about the priest saving the 'wizard' from the burning ground.

Sure enough, Ares' next sentence was, "The priest really saved that wizard?"

The 'wizard' was caught by Ares, and he should be angry when he was rescued, but Hillman saw only excitement on his face.

"I thought he was just talking casually. I didn't expect that he would really spend a lot of time trying to save that civilian." Ares had been on the battlefield, and one or two lives were in his heart, of course it was nothing.But seeing the priest running around for a tiny life, he felt a little... well, unspeakably excited.

"Ares, did you meet the priest before you caught that person?" Hillman asked.

Ares nodded, "The priest told me at the time that he was not a wizard and asked me to let him go."

"When you caught him, the priest was there?"

Ares thought about it for a while, because standing on the city wall, behind him was a priest with a full moon, his appearance was too holy, so now that he recalled it, he could clearly remember the other party's small movements at that time, "At that time, he was standing on the city wall. Come on, it seems to be divination, right? The wizard who was chased by a group of soldiers ran over and was stopped by me. The priest said that-I guess he didn't want to cause trouble at the time, so he asked me to arrest him in the end gone."

Hillman fell into deep thought.

Isaac said, "It's just a commoner. There's really no need to get into any trouble to save him. People who would do that..." Thinking of Hillman's dislike for priests, Isaac didn't say the following words.

It was also because of thinking about this that Hillman felt that this was not in line with the priest's purposeful approach—what was his purpose for doing this?After pacifying the civilians last time, there has been no other action. The only one saved was Roland's maid, and he was whipped.

What is the purpose of all this?

Hillman used to think that he could see into the dirty heart of that priest's holy appearance, but at this moment, he had to admit that he couldn't understand this priest anymore.Everything he did was completely different from the priest in his impression, even from the perspective of a nobleman, it could be said to be stupid and kind.

Kindness...?

"It must be kind and merciful." Ares said the two words Isaac wanted to say.

Isaac wanted to stop him, but it was too late, he could only look at Hillman's face, praying that his brother would not be too angry.

Hillman is no longer interested in teaching Ares a lesson, because even he himself has doubts about the nature of priests.

"I just said, how can a person with such a pretty face be a villain." Ares was as happy as if he had finally found a way to refute his brother, "Now I find that I like him more, what should I do?" Aris Si was unaware of the strange atmosphere among the three of them, and he asked Isaac jokingly, "Isaac, tell me, does the priest have a sister or something—a sister is fine too."

Isaac glanced at Hillman's face, seeing that he wasn't too angry, and didn't dare to respond to Ares' joke, so he frowned and said, "How do I know this?"

Just when Ares was about to say something more, the voice of the maid came in from outside——

"Prince Hillman, the priest wants to see you."
