Chapter 160: Out of place
Alicia checked Axia's body in the tent, and Zheng Yan came out and wandered around the camp of the Holy Light Church. There were imperial soldiers in the town ahead, and some clergymen of the Holy Light Church had louder voices.
Noisy, but peaceful.
As he walked, there were many clergymen around him who were very confused about Zheng Yan. He was not a clergyman, and he was not wearing the uniform of an imperial soldier. Where did he come from?
After some distance, I saw five black tents, with five female priests wearing heavy helmets sitting at the door.
The heavy helmets on their bodies have the image of a cross in flames, which makes people know at a glance that they are the judges who set fire to the church.
One of the leaders is a very ordinary-looking judge with a high ponytail, a robe and a battle armor integrated into one. She is meticulously wiping a black battle axe.
The other judges looked over, all with poker faces, but you could see the strangeness in their eyes, why a swordsman sneaked in.
Xiluen then raised her head, her poker face was stunned for a moment, then she recovered, put the black battle ax aside, stood up, and said lightly: "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to see Alicia." Zheng Yan also said in a calm tone, as if they were just acquaintances.
"Looking for that nun..." Xiluen nodded slightly, glanced at the town over there, and said slowly, "It's very dangerous over there. As a ghost hand infected person, don't get close easily."
"I want to go over and take a look." Zheng Yan's words made her speak in vain, and her eyes narrowed and she looked over.
The judges next to them all looked over, feeling that there was a scum among them who actually made a friend outside of the judges. It seemed that Xiluen on his side was more proactive, and the one on the opposite side seemed to be more proactive.
On the contrary, young boys tend to ignore each other.
Xiluen pursed her lips, put the black battle ax on her back, walked over slowly, and said, "I'll go out for a walk, you continue to stay here and wait for help."
"What are you doing?" Zheng Yan glanced at Xiluen and felt confused. He walked forward and Xiluen followed him.
The remaining four judges all looked over, with poker-faced expressions and a little desire in their eyes.
In their profession, apart from each other and other church members, there is a layer of separation, and there is basically no one worth caring about.
"I'll go for a walk with you." Xiluen said calmly: "With a special priest by your side, no one dares to be blind."
"Anyone who doesn't have eyes will be burned by you." Zheng Yan pursed his lips, feeling a little alienated from the beginning. He still remembers the scene where this woman almost burned him to death, and there are still so many people who haven't been able to save him.
innocent child.
Although I know that the other party is right, my life is my own, so it is impossible not to be angry. Even if I survive, I cannot ignore the past grudges.
"Yes, that's what judges are like. We must ruthlessly implement God's rules." Silune cracked the corner of her mouth and said proudly.
"Then if they fail, the five of you will burn five thousand people to death without hesitation?" Zheng Yan suddenly asked: "Is there really no psychological burden at all?"
"..." Xiluen fell silent. After thinking for a moment, she whispered: "Actually, there will be. I dream in the middle of the night and dream back at midnight."
"But..."
"You don't have to say yes, I understand." Zheng Yan waved his hand, walked forward, approached the town, and saw the villagers who were being led around.
They should be farmers, with dark skin and weathered weather.
"Don't get too close." Xiluen said sternly in a low voice, but Zheng Yan ignored her at all. She was very annoyed. The blow to her face caused phantom pain again, and the phantom pain in her chest reminded her of Zheng Yan.
He refused to give up and waited for her to die, but let her save her last breath to survive. The annoyance in her heart was suppressed again, and turned into a sigh, "Alas".
The townspeople were roughly gathered together, and the soldiers of the empire led them to the open space outside, where they were screened by the holy light and then isolated separately.
Dense iron cages were set up farther away, and the townspeople here looked at them with fear on their faces.
A group of more than a dozen townspeople were confirmed to have been taken away safely. The nun wiped her sweat. Soldiers from the empire brought another family, and she quickly released the holy light for screening.
"We have discussed over there to gather two hundred people to investigate together. It won't take long for these nuns to be liberated." Zheng Yan said lightly: "I originally thought that the scale here would be very large, and that the archbishop of the Holy Light Church would come over."
"How is this possible?" Xiluen pursed her lips and shook her head. "The danger rating here is not that high. It's just that the number of people hidden by the Blood Curse is too large, so the church needs many priests with better abilities to use the Holy Light.
Furthermore, 300 of the 500 people in the church are nuns and priests, and the remaining 200 clergymen who serve as subordinates have only a few real leaders. Over in the empire, there is an officer leading a group of soldiers, and then the situation becomes serious.
We, the five judges, have brought enough water from the river of hell fire to burn five thousand people to death."
It was the first time that Zheng Yan saw this woman speaking so many words at once, and using such an emotionless tone. Zheng Yan felt like she was speaking like a robot. He wanted to complain, but instead he saw a family of townspeople being led out by soldiers.
One of the parents suddenly stood up and stopped the soldiers, letting a little girl run away.
The little girl's face was filled with fear. She closed her eyes and ran in a random direction, which happened to be the direction of Zheng Yan and Xi Luen.
Two soldiers separated from the back and cursed, and hurriedly chased this way. The little girl looked back, with some tears in her eyes. She tripped on something under her feet and fell to the feet of Xi Luen and Zheng Yan.
.
"It's such a pity that such a young girl was burned in a fire." Zheng Yan bent down, grabbed the girl's back collar and lifted it up, and then his expression froze.
Xiluen on the side said nonchalantly: "If she becomes a pretender, I will not hesitate."
In Zheng Yan's sight, the light of the virtual light curtain emerged.
[Mission: In villages and towns filled with blood curse, there are pretenders ready to take action. Please prevent the situation from deteriorating further, find and destroy the root of the blood curse, otherwise a greater disaster will befall.]
"..." Zheng Yan looked at the little girl. The little girl looked at Zheng Yan with tears in her eyes, and then the soldiers over there rushed over.
The two soldiers saw Judge Xiluen and then looked at Zheng Yan, wondering what was going on with this strange combination.
"This girl is infected with the blood curse. It's best to take her directly to isolation." Zheng Yan handed the little girl over to the other party, and the two soldiers took it over in confusion.
