"Earl Lyle?"

Lin Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that this was the "neighbor" who Michael had complained to him in the confession room and who often made strange noises in the manor.

Michael is a low-class nobleman. It is not incomprehensible to choose to live in the chaotic Xicheng District in a place like the capital where every inch of land is expensive. However, Lyle is an earl, and he also lives in a place full of "lower people". In the above, the purpose is very interesting.

But in any case, suspiciousness is not the reason for their family to be silenced.Lin Xiaodong pondered for a moment, then asked the servant in front of him, "Where is Bishop Raphael now?"

Because a very famous archbishop Raphael was born in this church a hundred years ago, the bishops of the church have continued to use this name since then.The current Bishop Rafael is a very shrewd middle-aged man who is over fifty years old. It stands to reason that Raphael must come forward to investigate such a big event in the West District under his jurisdiction.

"It was the bishop who asked me to invite you over, saying that he wanted you to observe the purification ceremony," the servant said, "Now Lyle Manor has been closed, and the members of the Knights are waiting for your order."

Waiting for his order?

Lin Xiaodong thought in his heart that this Raphael is really a top-notch, it is obviously the other party's dereliction of duty, how could it become his responsibility?

But he temporarily suppressed his inner doubts, and followed the servant to the open space outside the church.

A group of ragged civilians with frightened expressions had gathered there. They were all ordinary residents living near Earl Lyle's estate.Ike and several other knights were riding on tall horses, holding the sharp swords and guns in their hands expressionlessly, preventing these people from escaping - while Bishop Raphael standing in front of them was holding a bottle of holy water, Praise the greatness of the God of Light loudly to the sky.

I don't know what kind of expression these people will have on their faces if they know that the God of Light they worship has completely degenerated thousands of years ago, Lin Xiaodong thought to himself.

The sun was so strong today that even Lin Xiaodong, who had been eating and drinking in the church, couldn't stand standing under the sun for a while, and silently walked behind the tallest Captain Ike.The black-haired man on the horse looked back at him, although his expression was still serious, but he thoughtfully let the horse on his crotch lean closer to Lin Xiaodong so that he could enjoy the shade.

"Thank you." The blond young man raised his head and smiled faintly at him against the dazzling light.

But I don't know why, Captain Ike looked at His Royal Highness, who was still as pure and flawless as a snow ball, but subconsciously felt that Lin Xiaodong today seemed to be different from usual.

Just when he was about to ask aloud, suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd not far away.

The two turned their heads to look at the same time, and found that it was a frail woman who couldn't stand the scorching sun, her eyes closed, and she passed out on the ground.

Lin Xiaodong knew it was a symptom of heatstroke at a glance. He frowned tightly, and just about to go to help him up, a familiar voice that he hadn't heard for a long time sounded in his ears: "I advise you to don't go."

The young man's footsteps stopped.

"Tong, I thought you took advantage of this time to go fishing with pay," he sighed. "Didn't you say before that in this world, there will be as few emergencies as possible?"

"Yeah, but just like you, I didn't know the true identity of the evil god at that time." Lin Xiaodong heard a hint of helplessness in the voice of the system panel, "I also deliberately chose a world with a relatively high plane level. , but still couldn’t escape his palm.”

Lin Xiaodong: "...Huh???"

"It's nothing," the system coughed, and quickly changed the subject, "Let's get down to business. Seriously, you have too many telltale signs in this world. If it weren't for the evil gods to intervene, you would definitely be tricked by the Pope. For example Say now, do you know what they are doing is a purification ceremony for the church?"

"I know," Lin Xiaodong is a person who has learned some common sense after all, how could he not know such a basic thing, "but..."

However, it was precisely because he knew the essence of this "purification ceremony" that he was even more reluctant to witness the end of the next woman.

Sure enough, during the moment when he was delayed talking with the system, Bishop Raphael excitedly commanded a knight beside him to walk into the crowd and drag the unconscious woman out.For a moment, the crowd was crying loudly, and her husband knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately to the knights and bishops, begging them to let his wife go, saying that she fainted only because she was too weak for three months of pregnancy.

However, no one at the scene paid any heed to his plea.

A huge cross was erected on the square, and the knights hurriedly tied the woman to the cross. Bishop Raphael walked up to her with an inscrutable expression, and sprinkled a bottle of holy water on the cross. her face.

"God of light, please remove the filth from her body!"

Next, the woman will be placed under the cross and continue to be exposed to the sun for a full six hours.If she can stay awake until the sun goes down, it means "the purification is successful"; if not...

Then the knight commander Ike can only cut off her head and pray to the God of Light to forgive her sins.

Listening to the woman's low groans/groans and her husband's suppressed sobs, Ike clenched his fists, his heart was full of turmoil, but like countless times before, he finally relaxed slowly and dejectedly.

What's the use, he thought mockingly, the church is more than just a knight commander.

If he stood up, the ending probably wouldn’t change in any way, maybe the pope would tie him to a cross in a fit of rage—for strong men, the church would cut their skin open with a dagger to let blood out.Rao is that Ike's physique is far beyond ordinary people, and he does not have full confidence to survive this kind of torture.

He numbly looked away, not wanting to see the ending of the pregnant woman.

However, the blond son, who had been hiding behind him and was so weak that he could not even receive sunlight for a long time, stood up without hesitation under Ike's dazed gaze.

"Bishop Raphael," he took a step forward politely, interrupting the sacred ceremony that was "accepted" by everyone, and calmly looked at the bishop with a pair of blue eyes, "I think we should take this Ladies put down."

Bishop Rafael frowned instantly, but because of the face of the Holy Son and the church, he still tried his best to remind tactfully: "Your Highness, this is a traditional purification ceremony, and I am helping this lady get rid of her body. Corrupt breath."

Leaving aside whether there is such a thing as degenerate breath, if the black slime used by the evil god on his body last night was what Bishop Raphael said, Lin Xiaodong thought blankly, then he would have been expelled from the It's completely dyed inside and out.

System: ...I really don't want to be a second-hand system.

Woohoo, it's not clean anymore.

"But her husband also said just now that this lady is still pregnant," Lin Xiaodong persuaded patiently, "According to the teachings of the "Bright Scripture", a newborn baby is the purest holy thing, and it can be Shield all filth. By analogy, the same is true for unborn children, so the safest among these people is this pregnant woman. She will faint, and it should be caused by her weak constitution and unable to stand for a long time."

Bishop Raphael stared at him for a long time.

"But there has never been such a precedent before. Your Highness, are you sure you want to do this?" He asked again with an emphasis.

Bishop Rafael is a timid and shrewd person. Although he is not a good person and often abuses his power to enrich himself, he is better than other hypocrites who rely on the church to do evil things.He didn't want to fight against the holy son Lin En, because after the Holy Spirit came to the world, the other party would definitely return to the Church of Light, and he would definitely be the one who was unlucky.

But he is also unwilling to take on this responsibility. For the Bright Church that has existed for thousands of years, let alone reform, even a slight change in the teachings will cause an uproar.

Lin Xiaodong was well aware of the small calculations in his heart, but he still said firmly: "I'm sure."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Captain Ike, who had been silently watching him with complicated eyes since just now, and said in a brisk tone: "Master, please tell me to put this lady down. Oh yes, don't forget to give her some salt water."

Ike pursed his lips tightly and nodded solemnly at him.

"Obey, Your Highness Son."

He clamped the horse under his crotch, grabbed the rein and quickly came to the cross, and with a precise and quick swing of the sword, he saved the woman who was tied to it.And her husband, who had been waiting by the side, hugged her ecstatically, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lin Xiaodong desperately:

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness! Thank you for your kindness..."

Seeing this, Bishop Rafael snorted coldly, and was not in the mood to continue presiding over any ceremony, so he returned to the church with his sleeves thrown.

Lin Xiaodong's eyes and Ike's grateful eyes met inadvertently, the blond youth nodded at him, and walked towards the group of ragged civilians.

Looking at the Son's back against the light, the black-haired man suddenly had the urge to swear allegiance to him with his eyes burning.

"Ding, good person card +1."

Lin Xiaodong and the system said: "The ignorance of people in this world is really ignorance, and the simplicity is also true simplicity."

"Hearing what you mean, are you really planning to preach for the evil god and recruit followers?" the system asked suspiciously.

"That's not true," Lin Xiaodong sneered, "but I'm very annoyed that all the shit is put on his head. He is an evil god, not a scapegoat. Did he kill and set fire last night, I don't know? "

Although he was indeed full of god-killing thoughts when he got up just now, Lin Xiaodong thought confidently, but these are two different things.

"........."

The evil god sitting in the darkness of the abyss suddenly shuddered inexplicably.

Of course, the gods don't catch a cold. Generally, if something goes wrong, it must be because of a problem with the source of belief.

So the evil god snapped his fingers unhurriedly, wanting to see what his only little believer was doing now through the water curtain.

As a result, he saw the blond son leaning down amiably and asking a dirty girl, "God bless the light. I'm sorry to ask this question, but you said that you almost died last night. I was invaded/violated by the evil god, can you describe the process in detail?"

After a pause, he added with a solemn expression: "Please rest assured, I will definitely uphold justice for everyone."
