The cold iron chain rubbed against the bluestone floor, making a crisp sound.
With his hands in special shackles, Evan walked slowly into the jail cell.
“What a young kid!”
“Jie Jie!”
“I bet he won’t live here for a day!”
“Give him to me! Give it to me!”
…
A filthy black hand stretched out from the iron railing, and many prisoners screamed together.
In this situation, even if he had been psychologically prepared, Evan couldn’t help but tremble in his heart.
“Hey! Boy, what did you commit?”
Asked a prisoner winking.
“I made no mistakes, I am a paladin of my god!”
Evan retorted loudly.
“Paladin…hehe…”
A black-robed priest who was escorted by him suddenly sneered: “Do you think that the identity of a paladin is rare? Tell you, the number of paladins judged by the referee is not less than a dozen, and there are more priests! Guy, it might be the same as you.”
“what?”
What Evan heard and saw before was the bright side of the church, and now he suddenly came into contact with the darkness in the courthouse, and suddenly felt that his heart was under some kind of shock: “My god…”
“The gods are great, so how can I take a leisurely look at what happens in the world…”
A priest next to him smiled indifferently: “Actually, some paladins and priests, even before being sent to the fire, the grace on their bodies has not dissipated. They are still our lord’s priests and paladins, but So what, isn’t it still executed secretly?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt his wrist tighten.
It turned out that Evan had grabbed his wrist at this time, and his eyes seemed to have flames in them: “If you misrepresent the doctrine and persecute other benefactors, aren’t you afraid of being punished by God?”
“God’s punishment?”
The priest in black smiled: “Since the end of the day, after the former Holy See as a whole avoided the kingdom of God, our believers who are still in the world have been abandoned!”
“It turns out you have this idea in your heart!”
Evan seems to have understood something: “Although the Holy See has left, the true God has not deserted us. Now the appearance of paladins and priests proves this?”
“Jie Jie, you really are a paladin with a firm belief. I hope that after you are on the torture frame, you can still be as stiff as you are now!”
The priest in black looked at him pityingly: “Dare to hurt Master Duhuade…”
“Haha! Boy, you have a kind!”
There was a burst of hearty laughter from the prison next to him: “It’s a pity that you don’t need a bit of effort to kill him directly…”
“I swear, I will do it next time.”
Evan gritted his teeth.
“Do you want to have another time?”
The black priest smiled coldly, pushed Evan into a cell, and closed the door heavily.
boom!
The iron door was closed tightly, and the surrounding light was dim, with stench and moisture, which was very unbearable.
In this environment, if you change to an ordinary person, you may get sick in a few nights, and no one can survive for more than half a year.
Even though he was already a paladin, his body was transformed by the divine power, but at this time Evan also felt weak and uncomfortable.
After all, as the Inquisition for the trial of paladins and priests, how could they not be prepared for these people?
Evan’s cell was specially made, and an array was secretly activated to suppress supernatural forces. With his poor paladin rank, he was no better than an ordinary person at this time.
“Trial? Burning frame?”
At this time, even though Evan was prepared no matter how much he was prepared, he couldn’t help but feel a little flustered in his heart.
“God of redemption, please forgive my fear!”
He couldn’t help but knelt down and began to pray: “Even if I die by fire, my soul will go to my lord’s kingdom and gain eternal life…”
“Hey! Boy, it’s rare to see a paladin like you!”
At this moment, in the nearby prison, the hearty voice continued: “I rarely see a rookie like you, just promoted?”
“You are?”
Evan came to the iron gate and tried to see through the window on the door, but he found nothing.
“Me… used to be a paladin too!”
The voice sighed: “I have joined the church since I was successfully promoted. I had a good time. Unfortunately, the current Pope Jay has too much ambition. I am only a little bit dissatisfied with his way of revising the doctrine. After a few complaints, he was locked up…”
“So it’s like this…”
In Evan’s heart, since the court is all bad guys, the one who is locked up here should be a good guy, right? Not to mention that the opponent is still a paladin! Although it used to be…
“Wait… used to?”
Evan asked incredulously.
“Yes…”
The other party’s voice was bitter: “Since I was imprisoned here, I have questioned the God of Redemption. You have also seen the end…”
For priests and paladins, the shaking of faith is definitely a major event that damages the foundation.
Especially being deprived of the charity of priests and paladins, it basically means that the other party has given up their faith.
“It’s ironic, right?”
The voice continued: “When they were arrested, the paladins and priests were both innocent, but when their faith was shaken and the priesthood was deprived, the court condemned them and they became justified!”
“Therefore, this place is also known as the’Grave of Faith’. I sincerely wish you can persevere…”
…
“The grave of faith?”
Evan understood it all at once.
Human beings are fickle, especially in despair. Unbelievers can become devout believers, and devout believers may also give up their faith in despair.
Once these priests and paladins really do this, the Inquisition will judge them and there will be no worries.
“In this case, uncle, you…”
“I have persisted until now, but the control of the mind is really too difficult, especially in this environment…”
The other party replied with a wry smile: “Maybe, I will be on the torture frame with you tonight!”
“The torture frame…”
When it comes to this, Evan doesn’t have any confidence.
Originally he was sure that Robin Paladin would definitely come to rescue him, and what he did was not a big mistake.
But since entering this prison, he knows that he still thinks too naively.
For those high-ranking people, is the size of the sins they committed very important?
Look at so many paladins and priests, are they still guilty of crimes, they can be executed at will?
A deep despair immediately enveloped Evan’s heart.
He now finally understood why this prison was called the “Grave of Faith”.
“time for dinner!”
As the outside light became darker and darker, a gong-like sound also sounded outside the prison.
The iron door was opened with a small mouth, and a few pieces of roasted kudzu root and a glass of water were sent in.
“Enjoy the last supper, kid!”
The jailer’s voice was joking, and his steps gradually faded away.
And Evan looked at the muddy water with many suspicious things floating in it, as well as the foul-smelling, dark, scorched kudzu root, without any appetite.
“Damn it!”
An irritable mood attacked his mind, causing him to hold the kudzu root and slam the door fiercely.
Snapped!
Roasted kudzu root was torn apart, revealing a small piece of paper.
“Um?”
Evan picked it up and found a line of small words written on it: “Pure faith, I will come to save you!”
“It must be Robin Paladin!”
At this moment, Evan shed tears in gratitude, and felt ashamed for the wavering he had once been.
The time for interrogation came very early.
Almost immediately after dinner time, Evan was raised by two black priests with solemn expressions and taken to a temple.
“Chief Referee Gandoff, Commander Robin, and… the Pope?”
After seeing these people, Evan’s heart sank suddenly.
In any case, this kind of battle is too overkill to deal with myself.
“See the Pope!”
He saluted Jay.
“Your name is Evan. You have recently become a paladin of our lord, but you wounded many innocent mortals on the same day and abused the supernatural power bestowed by our lord?”
Jay asked in a calm voice, “Is that so?”
“no!”
Evan stood up suddenly and straightened his back: “My Excellency Pope, please listen to my explanation! All this is caused by Du Huade. He hurt my family…”
“Even so, you shouldn’t violate the paladin precepts and attack ordinary believers!”
Pope Jay frowned: “According to the precepts, how should he be punished?”
“You should show your body in front of the idol, and be beaten by a cane to confess!”
Gandolf answered in a rigid voice.
“what?”
Evan raised his head in surprise, some of them couldn’t believe that the other party would let himself pass so easily.
“But the Evan Paladin is involved in more than this!”
Gandolf continued: “He is suspected of joining a religious heresy and is preparing to overthrow the rule of the current Holy See!”
“I do not have……”
See you in the picture! Evan immediately retorted loudly, knowing that he would never admit the crime, otherwise he would really be tied to a fire and burned to death.
“Then how do you explain this?”
Gandolf raised his hand, and a small piece of paper emerged. It was the one hidden in Pueraria for dinner just now: “In front of the gods, all lies will be invisible!”
“This is… Robin Paladin gave me…”
Evan spoke weakly, but found that there was a trace of doubt on Robin’s face, and his heart sank suddenly, knowing that he had fallen into a trap.
“I see……”
Gandolf smiled triumphantly: “Master Robin Paladin, should you give me an explanation to the Pope?”
‘Is all this a trap, the real target is not me, but Robin? ! ‘
Evan understood everything immediately, but unfortunately it was too late.
