Chapter 149 Three Swordsman Planes 3

"Okay, Mrs. Brown, return Luna to me, and I don't care about your verbal offense today." Roland held out his hand to Mrs. Brown coldly.

Behind her, Heathcliff and several knights were ready, and at the countess's order, they would rush up and take the cage containing the cat from Mrs Brown's hands, or even from the fire. Grab it.

"lady,"

The old woman straightened her neck and looked up at Roland, her short body straight.

"While you have power and power, we are all equally weak souls before God."

"I ask you to punish this wicked cat in its cage."

"Otherwise you will bring disaster to our Sweetwater Town."

She spoke firmly and strongly—and her attitude won the support of many people.In this era, although people are afraid of the authority of the lord, their awe of God and fear of the devil are enough for them to face the authority bravely and make appeals.

"No, no," Roland responded loudly, "everyone's life has only gotten better since this little guy came to our town."

"If you don't believe me, ask everyone, has the money in your wallet increased recently?"

"Yes--"

Yina and the others took the lead in answering loudly.

The residents of the town bowed their heads and thought: Indeed, everyone's wallets have indeed become bulging.

"Is there fish and meat on the table every now and then?"

"Yes--"

More and more people answered this time.

Indeed, for the residents of the town, the "old three" cabbage soup, dried pea soup and cheese soup on the table have long been relegated to the second place. Fish can also be eaten when it is not a fasting day. Also began to see fresh meat from time to time.

"I've said it over and over again, this is a creature that symbolizes auspiciousness. Even if you don't believe it, you can't burn it to death. In the end, all the luck in Tianshui Town will be destroyed. Who will take the responsibility?"

Roland spoke seriously, and many people responded nonchalantly.

Unexpectedly, the members of the "sightseeing group" who had just spoken did not understand what was going on here until then.

"Ah... I said it's a cat, are you going to burn it to death?"

The member of the sightseeing group who inadvertently told the "truth" suddenly realized what consequences his words and deeds would bring.This guy realized his conscience and shook his hands: "No, no, it's not a cat, it's just...it's a panda..."

The speaker was on the verge of crying.

How can you hurt an innocent life by telling the truth casually?

But it is still so cute, squatting in the iron cage, with a pair of innocent big eyes open, there seems to be sparkling tears in the eyes...

The perpetrator denied Sanlian dizzily: "It's not a cat, it's a panda, it's not a panda..."

At this moment, even if he tried his best to deny it, the locals around the fire would not believe it anymore.

The old woman was proud at this time, raised her arms again, and lifted the cage above the fire.She said loudly to the people in Tianshui Town: "Did you hear that, these outsiders are uniting to deceive you, they don't want you to hurt the devil's messenger..."

Suddenly the crowd stirred.

Mrs. Brown said nothing else, except for one point: all those who support the Countess are foreigners, and they have not been in Sweetwater Town for more than half a year.

Roland frowned suddenly: She looked at Mrs. Brown carefully, and suddenly felt that Luna might not be the only one the old lady wanted to target.

"Father, Father Florent," the old woman was immediately proud when she saw that Roland could not produce any other evidence.

"Then let me ask you, what does the Bible say about cats? Cats are servants of the devil, servants of witches... eh?"

Floren continued to speak humbly: "There is no mention of cats in the Bible..."

The crowd went into an uproar again.

They knew from a young age that cats are evil creatures, and seeing cats means bad luck, so they should drive them away immediately.If it is found that cats can "psychic", it will be even more dangerous, and they must be exterminated so that they will not cause trouble in the world.

However, in the Bible given to them by God, cats were never mentioned, and the evil of cats was not explained to humans.

"But the Pope...the Pope once mentioned..."

Pope Innocent VIII once publicly supported the priest's "disposal" of cats in his writings.Floren is a devout monk and well-educated, and he is very clear about the church's attitude towards cats.

However, at this moment, Florent couldn't speak anymore.

He couldn't convince himself that the cute little animal in the cage was guilty.If they are guilty, then who in the world is clean and innocent, and has the qualifications to judge them?

"The persecution of cats is a bad practice and superstition since the Middle Ages!"

The members of the sightseeing group finally couldn't bear it any longer and clamored loudly from the sidelines.In any case, they couldn't understand why the commoners in the plane could cruelly torture cats.

Roland groaned inwardly: No one is willing to admit that they are in a dark age, and no one thinks that their ideas are backward.

The more the outsiders clamored like this, the more the "natives" in the plane believed that the outsiders were fighting against themselves-the conflict would only intensify, but the matter would not be resolved.

She needs a sharp knife to cut through the mess and make a quick decision.

She nodded to Yina: this clever girl understood immediately, and sneaked to the "sightseeing group" to make arrangements for these friends who entered the plane—it was getting late, and the sightseeing should be over.

She made another gesture to Heathcliff without anyone noticing—

"Mrs. Brown, there is some truth in what you say."

Roland's attitude seemed to have softened, "My opinion is that since this matter is so important, we must handle it carefully..."

After hearing this, most of the people let go of their hearts.

But at this moment, Heathcliff suddenly rolled on the ground.Despite his tall stature, he was exceptionally flexible. In the blink of an eye, his men had already bullied the old woman.

Mrs. Brown was taken aback, and she let go of her hand, and the iron cage in her hand immediately fell into the fire.

Luna performed the fried hair in the cage on the spot: "Meow——"

Many people who like Luna can't help but close their eyes and dare not look at it.

Unexpectedly, Heathcliff stretched out his ape's arms, picked it up lightly, took the cage containing the cat in his hand, rolled on the ground, and returned to Roland.

In the blink of an eye, the cat returned to Roland's arms.

But in order to avoid fierce protests from the residents of Sweetwater Town, Roland did not remove the cat cage. She just hugged the cage and said, "After all, the Earl gave it to me to take good care of it. I must first ask the Earl for instructions, and then look at the cage." How to deal with this little guy."

"But please believe in the Earl's wisdom and wisdom, and I will definitely give you a proper response in the future."

Roland answered sincerely and solemnly, but in fact she resorted to procrastination—even if she wrote a letter to the count, it would take many days to go back and forth.

She could have lied that Luna had run away, got sick, or disappeared, and then hid the cat in the manor, or simply asked her "snail fans" to send Luna out of town and find a safe place to live.

This reply was first approved by the mayor: "Yes, yes, the Earl should be notified. He is the real lord." After all, Roland is only the countess who acts as the lord.

The rest of the citizens were also quite satisfied with Roland's attitude: "The Countess is right."

Roland immediately turned around holding the cat cage, and when she turned around, she gave Heathcliff a grateful look.

Unexpectedly, the old woman's voice spoke sullenly from behind her: "Countess...the one you are trying so hard to save is your companion!"

The surroundings immediately became quiet, and all eyes were on Roland.

The Cat's Companion... The Countess... The Witch...

Roland immediately felt the pressure.

She turned her head slowly and looked at the old woman: "Mrs. Brown, this kind of accusation is very serious. Excuse me, do you have any evidence?"

The old woman immediately turned to Floren: "Dear priest, there is a box on the altar of the church, and I put a gold brooch in that box."

Floren nodded: "There is a gold brooch."

As a clergyman, he couldn't tell a lie—anything like this, you can check it out.

"This gold brooch is the evidence that the countess tried to bribe me."

In front of everyone, the old woman told the whole story of that morning.How the disheveled countess found her, asked her to mend her clothes, gave her a pin in return, and walked away into the morning mist to pick up a cat.

It was late at this time, and the square in Tianshui Town was visibly darkening to the naked eye.The shadows between the houses are lengthening and expanding little by little.The firewood pile in the middle of the square gradually became the brightest light source.

Hearing Mrs. Brown's narration, the people in the town couldn't help looking at the pile of firewood and thinking: This pile of fire...tonight, it won't really come in handy.

"It turns out that I thanked you for your help and gave you this gold brooch because I bought you."

Roland said with a smile.

The old woman immediately raised her head and replied proudly: "However, I have withstood the temptation of the devil, and I hand this golden brooch to God."

"But did God hear you? Did God punish me?"

Mrs. Brown froze.

"No!" Roland replied decisively, "God made my territory more and more prosperous, and made the lives of the people around me better and better..."

"God thinks you are narrow-minded and returns good with evil, so you have been living in poverty-God has given you a warning, but you have tried to provoke again and again..."

The lives of the people in the town have improved visibly, but Mrs. Brown's old clothes are still the same as before.Apparently she hasn't benefited from Sweetwater's recent development boom.

Roland took a step forward: "Mrs. Brown, do you understand? It's not in your own interest to accuse others on the ground. Please take care of yourself, otherwise I will be rude to you."

She hugged the cat cage, turned around and greeted all the people around her: "Let's go!"

She couldn't stay longer - she had to cut through the mess quickly and make a quick decision.

Unexpectedly, the old woman screamed behind her: "Wait a minute!"

"I remember that the Earl also left the territory on that day!"

"Yes, that day—"

"On that day, the Earl disappeared, and the priest bumped his head, forgetting about the past."

"Look, everyone, these cronies around Madam, the newcomers in the town, all came after that day—"

Under the old woman's loud accusations, the whispers around Roland became louder.

——Things began to develop in an uncontrollable direction.

Now it is not just as simple as saving the cat, Roland may need to find a way to get himself out of the predicament.
