Volume Two: The Iron-Blooded Baron Chapter 262 Advent (10)
Moreover, this kind of punishment does not waste any materials. It uses hard boar bristles, only one or two at a time, to prick the male prisoner's eyes. Basically no one can resist it, and after a few tries,
Just do it honestly.
In different time and space, human civilization must be different, but the means of expressing one's stance are similar. No, on the Toba pirates, this group of dark priests have a series of perverted means.
As soon as this trick was used, the priests really couldn't stand it, so they had no choice but to listen to the words of the military priest. Not only did they abandon their faith, but they also honestly despised the God of Fire. This made the pirates extremely happy. They even used this method to...
Torture some wealthy businessmen in the hope of finding more money.
Although these priests did what the army priest said, the army priest had no intention of letting them go. He still arrested two people every now and then to make living sacrifices in order to pray to their sea god to bless them and be able to
In the battle with the Brick people, he won many battles.
Finally, when Balian and the others broke through Waterside Town and rescued them, only Dunhill and another priest were left. However, the other priest had been tortured to serious injuries and passed away not long after.
After being rescued, the only remaining Father Dunhill took a long time to recover and step out of the shadows. This nightmare-like experience was really painful for him.
However, after getting out of the psychological shadow, he did not relax, but became even more anxious, because he had abandoned the God of Fire and believed in the Evil God. Although few people knew about this matter, except for Balian and Mark, everyone else
I don't know, I just thought Father Dunhill was tortured to the point of losing his mind.
As a super powerful church on the continent of Verin, if the news about Father Dunhill betraying his faith and spurning the Vulcan was spread, he would definitely be punished in the most severe way, and no lord would dare to protect him.
However, the good thing for now is that only Balian and Mark know, and they will not tell it yet. Moreover, the bishop and priest in the Amundine church have been killed by the Toba pirates. The new bishop will take office in a few days.
, there is no need to worry about others knowing.
Besides, the bandits and the priest who accompanied the army were also eliminated, and the witnesses and physical evidence were gone. The only ones who could threaten Father Dunhill were Balian and Mark, but they would not threaten him.
Father Dunhill thought of the painful experience during that time and closed his eyes in pain. Balian patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Good brother, the past is in the past. The present and the future are the most important.
.”
As he spoke, he saw that he was crying. Balian quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it to him to wipe his tears.
After Dunhill cried for a while, he finally recovered. He said to Balian: "My lord, I am at my wits end now. If you don't help me, I will die."
"Hey, Brother Dunhill, don't let yourself die. Since I rescued you, I will definitely save others until the end. I won't leave you alone. Don't worry about this.
Recently, Mark talked to me about your affairs. My idea is that you should become the priest of the Barony of Norlandenburg. What do you think?" Balian said to him with a smile.
"Ah!" Dunhill stood up in shock. He looked at Balian in disbelief. This news shocked him so much.
After a long time, Duncil asked with some stuttering: "Sir, you...you...you know that I have betrayed the Vulcan. I...can a person like me still be a priest?"
Balian nodded firmly and told him: "Brother Dunhill, when you were in the most danger, Vulcan did not protect you. You were forced to have no choice but to abandon him in order to protect yourself. I believe he can also
I understand and will forgive what you did."
"Is...is it?" Dunhill asked after hearing Balian's remarks.
Balian smiled and shook his head. It seemed that feudal superstition was really harmful to people. But since he wanted to use Dunhill, he had to help his basic demons.
"Brother Dunhill, do you believe that God really exists?" Balian asked, staring into Father Dunhill's eyes.
Dunhill was stunned for a moment, then nodded firmly and replied solemnly: "I believe, I believe God must exist."
Balian nodded, and then continued to ask: "Then do you think that gods will be angry and angry like us mortals?"
"No, how could God be like an ordinary person who can't control his emotions?" Dunhill shook his head in denial.
"Okay, in that case, do you think the great Vulcan will take this little thing of yours to heart?" Balian continued to ask.
Duncil was stunned when he heard this. He came over for a while and murmured: "Uh... what you said makes sense, but I have spurned the statue of the God of Fire."
"You are just spurning a piece of wood, but you don't really spurn the God of Fire." Balian explained the key to the problem.
After hearing these words, Father Dunhill's eyes really lit up. He stood up excitedly and danced and said: "Yes! Yes! I have not spurned the God of Vulcan, nor have I really abandoned him. I
At that time, I was just trying to survive in the future, and I spat on that piece of wood."
Seeing Father Dunhill like this, Balian smiled, then walked up to him and said to him: "As long as you can figure it out, you are still the servant of the God of Fire in the human world."
Father Dunhill nodded excitedly. He took Balian's hand and said gratefully: "Thank you, Lord Balian. You not only redeemed my body, but also redeemed my soul. Dunhill will never forget you."
The kindness!”
Balian took out his hand, patted his shoulder, and said: "My brother Dunhill, there is no need to talk so much between us. From now on, you just need to be my priest. The people of Norlandenburg are looking forward to it."
Waiting for the arrival of a priest dedicated to Nolandenburg."
"Hahaha!" Father Dunhill laughed heartily, "Sir, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job. After this incident, I even stopped drinking. I believe it must be because of my alcoholism before.
It was so powerful that he suffered this disaster.
In the future, I will help more people in the world, help them answer their doubts, teach them to be kind, and let them appreciate the kindness of the God of Fire. Only in this way can the sins on my body be completely washed away, and I can enter the kingdom of heaven after I die."
Now on the continent of Verin, the power of the Vulcan Church is similar to that of the Christian Church in the Middle Ages in my previous life. It is a very powerful social force that can not only influence the regional situation, but also collect money from the people of the parish. It is also a disguised form of subjugation.
Taxes are just for believers to pay by themselves.
Balian didn't want such an organization in his rule to disgust him, but he couldn't refuse and offend the church, which would put him, the little baron, in bad luck.
