Chapter 11 Act VI-1

A total of sixteen carriages entered Treo one after another.There were three or four large sacks on the cargo bed of each wagon. There are twenty-three guards with spears.Equipped with shielded quadruples wearing armor and bracers, they appear to be foot soldiers of the Order. Four priests on foot.I don't know how many people were in the carriage with the hood, but according to what Elsa said, there were probably only Bishop Bang and his assistant priest. In addition, there was a fat man dressed as a businessman in the queue. The moment Lawrence saw that man, he let out an "Ah!".

It is not surprising that Lint Island, the largest flour shop in Ebin Ruku, will have enough flour in Treo.Of course it was because of that that people died from eating bread made from flour bought from Lint Island. If that's the case, maybe Lint Island is also related to this conspiracy. When Lawrence visited Ebin Ruku's chamber of commerce, he deliberately didn't buy Lawrence's wheat. And it is very likely that it was at that time that he made up his mind to carry out the plan. Not only is the future hopeless, but there are even malicious people hiding there who don't know.

Thinking of this, Lawrence couldn't help sighing. After lying on the hill and watching the convoy enter the village, He Luo also returned to her human form, and quickly put on her clothes. After that, the four of them made a long circle and walked towards Torueon's cave. Although it is possible that the entrance has already been locked by Imma, it is also possible that the entrance was just closed without locking it. Lawrence was going to take a gamble. [Are you a guy protected by God? ] and the bet won. [Is there a scent of someone nearby? ] [No, there's no one here. ] Perhaps the villagers felt that since Elsa had escaped, the church was of course useless.

As soon as Lawrence pushed the seat up, there was a "boom" sound as the stone statue fell down.Although Lawrence shivered in fright for a moment, fortunately there were no other sounds.After pushing the seat up in one breath, Ivan slipped out of the gap and helped Lawrence fully open the seat. [this is? ……………I see.Take the sickle and the holy grail. ] Of course, these are small props prepared for the next thing. Elsa, who came out of the basement, nodded to Lawrence, and trotted out with Ivan. Lawrence smiled at He Luo, who stayed in the basement reluctantly, and said to her: [If this matter can be resolved smoothly, you can stay here and read these books slowly. ] After hearing Lawrence's words, He Luo walked out from the stone stairs as if giving up.

[So, what's going on outside. ] [Fortunately, the wooden window was not damaged, so you can clearly see the outside. ] It seems that after Lawrence and his party escaped, Imma opened the door at the right time. The bolts used to close the entrance and exit doors of the church were not broken, but were leaned against a side wall. Looking outside through the gap in the wooden window, the convoy transporting wheat has already entered the square, probably Bishop Bang’s strong man in the gown of a high priest, Lint Island of the flour shop, the village head of Sim and the village Representatives are facing each other on the stone platform.

[Mr Lawrence. ] At this time, Elsa and Ivan sneaked over from behind and made a sound to Lawrence. In his hand, he held a holy grail that was not plated in silver, and a rusty sickle. But as a small prop that triggers a miracle, it is better to mix something cold. [Then, all you need to do next is to calculate the right time to come out. ] Ersa and Ivan nodded nervously. Although Lawrence couldn't hear what they were saying, Village Chief Sim was trying his best to explain something to the bishop. Sometimes he would point to the church, and whenever Sim pointed at the church, the villagers gathered in the square and the people on the stone platform would look at this side, which surprised Lawrence every time.

But no one came over, probably because he was convinced that there was no one inside. Bishop Bang responded calmly, and occasionally consulted the elderly secondary priest standing next to him. Perhaps Bishop Bon thought that the opinions of Chief Sim and the villagers were no different from the sounds of those flies flying around. In fact, Bishop Bang just showed Sim a few pieces of parchment, and Sim became speechless. [Know the above? ] Lawrence asked He Luo.He Luo replied: [I was asked for monetary compensation. ] After that, there was a sudden roar of anger from the crowd, and the villagers who rushed towards the man with a long gun were knocked down to the ground in an instant.

Several other villagers rushed forward, but they were eventually knocked down to the ground just like the first villager who jumped forward. Although the guards holding long spears looked like a group of miscellaneous soldiers who didn't even have uniform clothes, they seemed to have received some training, forming a scattered spear array. In this case, even if the number of villagers is superior, it is difficult to reverse the disadvantage. [Hmph, it seems that Sim has been overwhelmed and is about to give in. ] As long as you make concessions at the beginning, you will only be overwhelmed unilaterally.

The tying of the bishop is probably trying to force Village Chief Sim to a level that won't make people jump over the wall. [Which one is that? ] New angry villagers appeared there, and the villagers who immediately became agitated after a few words with Lint Island were stopped by the village chief Sim to stop their subsequent excesses. To Lawrence's question, Ivan replied: [That is the owner of the bakery, the guy who loves to taunt me the most. ] Lint Island also took out the same parchment as Bishop Bang from his arms, and proudly lifted up the parchment, and the villagers fell silent immediately.

The appearance of Lint Island does not mean that he is used to keeping the villagers speechless, but rather that he is happy to finally be able to silence the villagers. [Priest Franz is very good. ] As soon as Lawrence finished speaking casually, Elsa nodded slightly. Then, finally, while Sim was kneeling on the stone platform, the villagers who were glaring fiercely at Bishop Bang rushed to support Sim's back. At that moment, Lawrence heard the sound of something being held tightly. At first glance, it turned out that Elsa was clenching his fist tightly. Although there was a calm expression on his face, it was easy to understand Elsa's heart.

Because the villagers will not support Elsa behind her back. [It's over, the other party has made their final choice. ] He Luo suddenly said that, and Lawrence immediately understood the meaning of He Luo's words. Sim and the others turned their eyes to the opposite direction of the church, that is, the direction of Sim's village chief's house. What are they thinking, just looking at their backs seems to be able to understand. Later, two soldiers boarded the stone platform. The soldier held in his hand the divine figure of Torueon that Lawrence had seen at Sim's house. [Burn this, you must accept the correct teaching, otherwise you will be denounced as heresy. ] It was probably Bishop Bon who spoke. As soon as He Luo finished speaking, Sim and the villagers all looked at the church as if they heard He Luo's words. [Humans are such creatures who want to rely on others when they have difficulties. ] He Luo stepped back from the wooden window, folded her hands on her chest and sighed again, and said again: [But we sometimes rely on humans, so what should we do now? ] Ivan's face is full of not being able to forgive these villagers who only care about themselves. However, Ivan still held back the anger and looked at Elsa. Elsa stood up without hesitation. Then briefly said: [As a servant of correct teaching.I cannot abandon this village. ] Lawrence nodded. [So, let's get to work. ] After speaking, the four opened the door of the church. The scene of being silent also really exists. Lawrence thought so in his heart. Lawrence would never forget the expressions of Sim and the others who looked at the church for help in front of the specimen of the snake that symbolized Torueon. [Elsa! ] The person who called out at first was Imma. Perhaps because of sheltering Elsa and others, Imma was not on the stone platform.Imma, who was following the development of the situation together with the people around her, walked towards Elsa without hesitation. [Elsa, why are you back again! ] [Sorry, Mrs. Imma. ] Imma, who showed a completely incomprehensible expression, looked at Lawrence again. [Oh, oh, isn't this Miss Elsa, the successor of Priest Franz? ] Before Lawrence answered Imma, Bishop Bang on the stone platform said that to Elsa. [Long time no see, Bishop Bang. ] [I heard that you escaped secretly, did you come back to repent because you couldn't bear the consciousness of sin? ] [Because God is often very lenient. ] As soon as Elsa finished speaking, although Bishop Bang showed a disappointing expression, he did not yell like a defeated dog in the distance. Instead, he showed a confident smile and whispered to the priest next to him: something happened. Afterwards, the priest cleared his throat, raised the parchment in his hand, and read aloud: [Our holy church in Ebin Ruku believes that Treo village, which believes in pagan gods, hurts our people with correct beliefs. For the purpose, the poisoned wine of Cobas was mixed into the wheat.The evidence is that although our people with correct beliefs are suffering from the curse, there was not a single poisoned person in Treo Village.They ate the same wheat, apparently because they were protected by pagan gods. ](Doesn't this prove that your gods are useless? [According to our contract with Priest Franz, we must first return all the wheat to Treo Village. And rebuild a new church with correct beliefs here. For Wrapped in sheep's clothing but inside is a coiled snake, the evil servant of the fake god must ask the real god to give him justice.] After the priest's words were just finished, Bishop Bang, The soldiers with shields all drew their swords and walked towards Lawrence. But Elsa didn't take a step back. [There is no need for that. ] And righteously replied, and then said loudly: [I was indeed under the wrong belief, but the magnanimous God pointed out the right path for me.Let me meet the messenger of God. ] The bishop showed a frightened expression for a moment, wrinkled his nose and then looked at the supplementary priest next to him to ask something. The priest who made up the assistant replied a few words to the priest. Tied Bishop raised one hand high and said: [You actually talk nonsense about meeting the messenger of God, this is simply evidence to prove that you are a heretic!If what you say is a lie, your words themselves will be proof that you are a heretic! . ] Lawrence thought to himself: The fish is hooked. Elsa glanced at Ivan and Hero in turn. The boy who milled flour and the girl who turned into a wolf nodded and ran out. [If you doubt it, let everyone see it. ] Although the guards raised their spears to stop Ivan and Heluo who wanted to get close to the lined-up carriages full of wheat, the bishop laughed contemptuously after hearing Elsa's words Said to the miscellaneous soldiers guarding: [Get out of the way for them. ] Ivan tightly held the wheat grains he got from He Luo in his hands. After Elsa watched the two run over, she didn't listen to Imma's dissuasion and walked straight to the stone platform. [It is indeed wrong to believe in Torueon, the God of Serpents. ] After Elsa finished speaking, the villagers standing on the stone platform stared at Elsa fiercely with eyes as if they were being forced to swallow a stone. [However, that is not inherently wrong. ] Elsa climbed up the stone steps leading to the stone platform, walked past the bishop, and finally walked to the thrown out God Torue's symbolic body and knelt down. When she was in the church, Elsa refused to lie even when she fell into the trap of Lawrence who wanted to read the myth left by Priest Franz. The bottom of my heart has not changed until now, and I am still an out-and-out clergyman. So why did Elsa kneel before his symbolic god instead of impeaching the pagan god Torueon? Elsa continued: [I think Torueon itself is one of the miracles performed by the gods. ] After hearing Elsa's words, Sim opened his eyes, and the other villagers also began to shake. Elsa's words neither negate nor affirm Torueon. But Bishop Bang laughed and said mockingly: [Human words are often adjacent to lies.How can it be asserted that your words are not whispers of demons. ] [Because the angel of God promised me that I would lead the lost sheep to the right path. ] At this time, He Luo and Ivan cast a "ready" look at Elsa. Even though he knew there would be no problem, Lawrence still couldn't help becoming nervous. On the stone platform, Elsa, who kept talking while bearing the eyes of the villagers and the bishop, must have also endured quite a lot of pressure. Even so, Elsa's tone was so powerful. As a successor who has been taught by Priest Franz, he believes in the power of Hero, an inhuman being.And Elsa who believed that the world was created by God. [Hmph, just because you want to show miracles...... ] The words of the bishop were suddenly interrupted by sounds of fear and surprise from around the carriage. [Wheat Wheat. ] [Oh oh oh! ! ] From the bags full of wheat placed on the counter, wheat Hui grew out one after another, extending continuously towards the sky. Sim and the villagers also stared intently at the scene with rough, expressionless doll-like expressions.Bishop Tie also stared at the miracle with astonishment on his face. In front of the successively growing wheat, the people who exclaimed knelt down together. [is God!This is a miracle of God! ] spread like wildfire, and eventually even the clergy fell to their knees. However, only Bishop Bang stood there blankly, watching the scene. Then, after all the blue wheat had come into fruit, a loud cry rang out from the crowd again. The wheat that grew from the freight platforms of the sixteen carriages did not form golden fruits, but withered and turned into powder. Everyone present knew exactly what that phenomenon represented. Lawrence observed the surrounding situation when everyone's eyes were focused on Maizi. Both Lint Island and Bishop Bang stood there with pale faces. The person who designed to put poison into the wheat, of course, couldn't laugh it off when he saw this situation. [God has pointed the right way. ] After Elsa finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on Elsa. [No, it’s impossible, that kind of thing………. ] [Bang Bishop. ] Elsa said in a cold and calm tone: [I want to ask Bishop Bang to confirm whether this is the means of the devil. ] [How do I do it. ] [Please use this. ] After finishing speaking, Elsa took out the plain silver Holy Grail and handed it to the bishop and said: [Please consecrate this Holy Grail.Then, in it, Ivan will use the flour ground from this village to convey the oracle of the gods. ] Bishop took the Holy Grail as Elsa said, and then said in a panic: [What are you going to use this kind of thing for? ] [God's baptism should also be imposed on the poor.Ask Bishop Bang to wash the Holy Grail with his own hands. ] Bishop Bang, who was overwhelmed by Elsa's aura and could not utter any rebuttal words, looked at the supplementary priest with a very unhappy look.The supplementary priest gave instructions to the priests around the stone platform and said: "Bring water. ] Soon the water was brought in and placed in the hands of Bishop Bon. If it is water poured by the clergy, it will become a sacred and special existence. The holy grail, which had been washed with holy water, cast a dim light in the bishop's words. [Then, please give the Holy Grail and water to the miller. ] The reason why Elsa didn't take it by herself was to avoid being picked up by the bishop. Let the priests take it and hand it over to Ivan, which implies the justice of the priests. [Please watch carefully. ] Elsa nodded to Ivan, and Ivan took the Holy Grail and nodded heavily to Elsa.
