Grasp the farming script in the famous book

The executioner from Lille, a tall man in a red cloak, strode into the confession room at this moment, holding the ghost-headed sword with a copper ring in his hand.This knife seems to be well maintained, the blade and the back of the blade are polished to a bright, shining light.But the blade was glowing with a cold light.

Just imagine how many criminals fell under the sword of this big knife, it is chilling.

"Floren!"

The tall and thin man walked quickly to the priest, hung the knife in his hand on his waist, put his hands on the priest's shoulders, and asked in surprise and excitement: "Floren, are you really Florent?" ?”

When the priest saw this man, he was a little confused at first, but after looking at him, the priest's eyes began to light up.He called out tentatively, "Rob?"

"I'm Robert!"

The man in the red cloak was also overjoyed: "My good brother, that woman didn't lie to me, it really was you, and you are still alive!"

"But...how is this possible?"

Lille's executioner Robert is delighted but then suspicious.

"You obviously died in prison back then. They asked me to identify the corpse...I buried you with my own hands...What's going on?"

"I...I also..."

Floren began to speak incoherently. He originally wanted to say "I don't know", but it was obvious that he gradually remembered everything, and his face turned pale——

"I remember that I was in the prison in Lille, I was devastated, I wanted to kill myself..."

Then, after that, he only remembered waking up on the side of the road in Sweetwater Town and lost his memory. He was told that he was the priest of Sweetwater Town, the elder brother of the Countess...

At this moment Athos picked up his saber from the ground, held it in his hand, approached the executioner and the priest, and asked loudly, "I should be the one to ask what's going on!"

Unexpectedly, Lille's executioner pulled out the ghost-headed sword from his waist and waved it lightly.Immediately the sword in Athos' hand flew out again, this time far away, and landed in the corner of the confessional.

Florent was already sweating, memories came flooding back, sweet, painful, and puzzling.

He sat down with his back to the icon, thought for a long time, finally raised his head, and said to the executioner: "Robert, I think, the Earl has the right to know the truth of the past."

Lille's executioner snorted suddenly, and poked the ghost knife in his hand heavily on the hard floor of the confession room.

Athos pondered for a moment, then he came to Floren and sat down cross-legged.

"My lord count, as you know before, I was originally the abbot of a Benedictine monastery near Lille."

"Charlotte...Charlotte is a nun in my convent. The first time I saw her, I knew that I could no longer give this life to God...I belonged only to her."

The executioner snorted coldly and said, "That woman, I'm afraid she can even seduce a saint."

But Athos was puzzled, he heard a new name: "Charlotte?"

Executioner: "Shut up, don't interrupt!"

Floren: "Rob, it wasn't she who tempted me, it was I who tempted her..."

These three people spoke at almost the same time, making a mess in the confession room.

But when Floren said "I seduced her", the whole confession room fell silent.

The executioner let out a long sigh, and Athos was puzzled at first, then understood, and then lost.

They all knew that that woman had such magical powers that she could make Floren bear all the crimes alone, just to let her enjoy a good life.

"We're together."

Floren said tremblingly, but when he said this, he straightened his back, showing [-] points of pride.

"But as a priest, I couldn't give her worldly happiness, so we decided to elope."

"On the eve of my elopement, I thought that I was a poor priest, and I could not even pay for our travel from Lille, so I thought of a way. I opened the sacristy at night and stole the sacristy from there... "

"We were caught before we left the monastery. The reason was that they found the sacristy stolen."

"Someone reported on our private union. They not only got me, they got Charlotte—"

Floren had tears in her eyes: "But in fact, she didn't know it at all. Her only fault was that her heart to serve God was not firm enough, so she was tempted by me..."

This time, the executioner and Athos looked at each other, and they both felt that the poor priest was only trying to excuse the woman.

"Things got worse later. I was branded for stealing. But after Charlotte fell into prison, she persuaded a jailer to help her escape."

The executioner nodded, indicating that this was true.

"After she escaped, she didn't stay away, but stayed in Lille and waited for me. At this time, she was caught by Robert. Robert was angry at what happened to me, so he used his status as an executioner to privately lay on Charlotte's shoulder. Make a mark."

"Yes, what my brother suffered, I want that woman to suffer as well." The executioner explained coldly.

At the same time, Athos suddenly realized: "This is why she has never been judged, but has a brand on her shoulder?"

The executioner immediately glared at Athos: "Don't interrupt my brother when he is talking!"

Athos also stared back: "Isn't it you interrupting?"

"She is innocent, I am the one who is guilty..."

Floren continued quietly, "You always preconceived that in this kind of thing, the woman is the one who is at fault."

The confession room finally fell silent.

Thinking about the whole process carefully, cheating and elopement are both your wishes, and it is impossible to say who is more guilty.But stealing the sacristy is indeed the priest's own act, and it is hard to blame the woman.

"After I was branded and tortured, I fell seriously ill. She bribed the jailer to treat me secretly and make me recover... After I recovered, I made up my mind to escape and be with her... I'm sorry, Robert, I didn't expect that after I escaped from prison, they would arrest you to replace me in prison..."

Floren's words explain what happened next: he joined Charlotte after he escaped from prison, and the two flew off together.But the people in Lille knew that Floren was Robert's younger brother, so they suspected that Robert helped his brother escape from prison, so they put Robert in prison.

"We fled a long way and came to a town called Sweetwater. Here, in order not to arouse suspicion, we changed our names and pretended to be brother and sister. We changed our surname to De Breuil, she changed her name to Anna, and I remained François. Lauren."

"I'm going back to my old job here as curate, hoping to build up a little savings here and then take her away to a new place where we can get married."

Athos had a clear expression on his face: at this point, he knew what was going on in the future.

"But one day, she came to me and told me that the local lord, the Earl, has taken a fancy to her and wants to marry her."

"She thinks this is a good way... Floren, she told me that if I marry the count, I can support you and make you live comfortably and comfortably. The count is a man of status, and he may I can recommend you to a larger diocese, and you can be a bishop..."

"But God knows, I don't want to live a comfortable and prosperous life, and I don't want to be a bishop. I just want to be her husband."

Athos and the executioner showed disapproval at the same time, thinking: This is how women deceive men.

"But she asked me: Floren, can we refuse?"

The priest's voice was mournful, presumably it was the memory that aroused the despair in his heart.

The executioner suddenly turned his head to look at Athos angrily: everyone understands this truth.The lord of this land holds the power of life and death in his hands. If he is willing to marry you, it is flattering you. What reason and qualification do you have to say no?

"She married the earl and became the countess. When they were married, I stood on the altar and blessed them... With every blessing, I can feel my soul shattering a little bit. I lost her , forever..."

The executioner despised Athos even more.

Athos scratched his head, probably thinking: This is none of my business, at the time I really... didn't know this!

"I observed her for a while after she got married. I think the Countess loves her. She is living a good life. She is smart and beautiful enough to make her worthy of the status of Countess."

"I have nothing to worry about, so I left Tianshui Town and returned to my hometown, only to find out that because of my prison escape, my brother was in prison instead of me."

"I hurried to surrender and replaced Robert."

The executioner let out a sigh of relief when he heard the words, it seemed that he was still satisfied with the brotherhood.

"I think back on my life in prison and realize that I have nothing to worry about. I have lost everything, including the most precious freedom, and all that remains is my love for her."

"I can no longer bear the black prison, nor can I bear the endless thoughts every day and night... I don't want to be a burden for Robert anymore, let him run away for this useless brother. So I choose to hang myself in On the high window bars, end the remaining life..."

"However, I somehow woke up in Tianshui Town."

"I knocked my head when I woke up, and I can't remember anything. Everything I know, my name, identity, and relationship with the Countess... I was told by the people in Sweetwater Town."

"Fortunately, I still remember how to read the Gospel and know how to preach, so I am lucky enough to continue to be my parish priest in the town."

"I really thought the Countess was my own sister. Yet I realized that I had always been in love with her."

"I thought it was a taboo emotion that is not tolerated in the world, so I confessed it day and night. I concealed all my feelings for the Countess, for fear that this emotion would cause trouble."

"But now, my lord earl, I can tell you that it was you who took away my love, the woman I gave up my faith and fell in love with."

"But you didn't fulfill your obligation to protect her, which caused her to get separated from you when she went hunting, and later encountered robbers—it wasn't her fault, but you ruthlessly abandoned her because of this?"

"You are not qualified to love her. You are less worthy of her love than I am."

Floren said categorically: "If everything can be done again, I will do everything possible to prevent her from marrying you."

Hearing this, Athos suddenly raised the corners of his mouth in mockery, and said: "This is another fact that I don't understand. Father, your woman did not encounter robbers—she was strangled with my own hands. Stretch her." After her, I left this territory in order to avoid getting emotional and bring back the memories of being with her..."

As soon as Floren heard him say that, she immediately exclaimed "Ah", stood up unsteadily, rushed forward and grabbed Athos by the collar.

But Floren's force value was almost zero, which Athos knew very well.He let Floren hang around his neck, raised his right hand, stretched out two fingers, and said loudly: "So now there are two incidents of death and resurrection, who can tell me what is going on here ?”
