If we could turn the time back four years ago and choose the most hated person in Medin City, a young man named Galas would be elected, and there would be absolutely no controversy.
This is a villain with a despicable character.
At that time, when he was only 21 years old, he was already the leader of a gang of domineering gangsters in Meiding City. Every day, he relied on the strength of his numbers and his ruthlessness to engage in illegal activities such as cheating, stealing, robbery or extortion.
Seeking money is notorious.
However, Meding City is, after all, the territory of the lord, Baron Smith. Although Galas is a freeman, in the land of Meding City, no matter how big he is, he cannot be bigger than the lord.
Baron Smith has a gentle nature, but hates evil. He is a quite orthodox nobleman. Once he decides to deal with Galas, it will be useless even if Galas is ten times more powerful.
Therefore, when one day four years ago, it was revealed that the Garras had robbed a businessman who was protected by the lord and seriously injured him. Facing the guards and policemen sent by Baron Smith, he chose to flee.
With this escape, the criminal gang headed by him was instantly defeated and dispersed.
Most of the villains back then were sent to prison, while others who were more lucky were forced to move away from home. Without this gang of villains who committed all kinds of evil, the security of Meiding City was much more peaceful than before. As time went by, people
Gradually I forgot about Gallas.
But no one expected that four years later, Galas, who had escaped from Medin City, would come back in a big way. And this time, with some unknown ability, he became a member of the Western District of St. Lulian Diocese.
A third-level deacon who enjoys the trust of the bishop of the Western District.
The organization of the Holy See is complex, and the job levels are also complicated. People sometimes can't figure out who has more power, the cardinal or the archbishop, but this does not prevent everyone from understanding what the third-level deacons next to a Western District bishop mean.
.
That means that even if Galas swaggers back to Meding City and talks about the crimes he committed back then in front of the city lord Smith, Baron Smith will not dare to do anything to him.
A person who even the lords dare not offend, let alone the common people.
Moreover, this time, returning to the city of Medin with Galas, there was also a special envoy sent by the bishop of the Western District and a Vatican Guard team led by three knights.
People saw that three days ago, when Galas followed the envoy and arrived at Medine City under the escort of the Holy See knights and guards, even the county bishop came out of the city to greet him respectfully.
The appearance of Galas immediately became a hot topic among the residents of Medin City.
Four years is not a long time. Although no one wants to think about Galas and his gang during the period when they disappear, but when this face appears in people's eyes, the memory of the past immediately disappears.
Recovered.
People started talking about Galas again. They talked about the crimes this guy committed back then, and also speculated about how this notorious guy transformed into a third-level deacon of the Holy Church.
Through acquaintances in the church, everyone learned that the purpose of the special envoy's visit to Meding City this time was to prepare to transfer some precious belongings from the church in Meding City and to escort the county bishop out of Meding City to avoid war.
suffered unnecessary losses and casualties.
If Galas completed his mission and left honestly, even if he shamelessly walked several laps on the street, showing off his power in front of the people who beat gongs and drums to celebrate his escape, or even ridiculed him, everyone would just
Swallow your anger.
After all, in people's minds, the Holy See is sacred.
If Galas can be under the control of the Holy See and stop doing evil from now on, even if he becomes more arrogant, it won't matter.
However, it is said that a country is easy to change but its nature is hard to change.
Just when the envoy and his party had packed most of the precious items in the Medin City Church into trucks and were preparing to leave with the county bishop today, Galas launched his long-planned revenge last night.
In the dead of night, he found the home of a commoner who had testified against him and massacred them all. Then, he returned to the place where he had lived before and found a man who had been kind to him before and was now ready to marry.
girl, brutally raped and killed.
However, just when he killed the girl and wanted to go on without stopping and kill the girl's family members who woke up after hearing the noise, he did not want to be alerted by the girl's father and brother's resistance and loud calls for help, which alerted the neighbors and patrols.
's police officer.
Chased by the crowd, Galas fled back to the church in panic.
After only standing in the crowd for a short while, Roy already understood the reason why everyone gathered here from the words of the people next to him.
"What's there to say about such a scumbag? Hurry up and ask the County Bishop to kidnap him out and send him to Baron Smith's Castle for trial!"
"Yes, we can't let him go this time!"
A mercenary who heard the story from an insider roared with indignation.
Hearing the roar of the mercenaries, more and more people gathered around. Outside the square, even more unsuspecting people gathered here.
"Originally, that's what everyone thought!" the insider said angrily: "What's hateful is that when everyone came here chasing him and were about to catch him, they didn't expect that the Vatican guards at the door of the church
He let him in, but stopped his pursuers."
"What's the point?"
"How can you do this? Aren't they covering up?"
People whispered to each other and condemned one after another.
"That's right!" said the insider: "At that time, everyone still thought that attacking the church was a serious crime. The guy couldn't run away anyway. When the Vatican guards let him in, he was still covered in blood. As long as the words are given to
The Holy See made it clear that no one can protect him. But I didn’t expect..."
At this point, the insider gave a heavy kick: "Unexpectedly, at first, the Vatican guards admitted that they let Galas in, but then they denied it. They also said that Galas was a member of the Vatican, and there was no ruling by the secular court.
Quan. Even if Galas commits a crime, it can only be dealt with by the Holy See!"
"They didn't even admit to letting Galas in, and they expected them to deal with it!" A grumpy mercenary couldn't help but cursed!
"This matter must be negotiated by Lord Smith."
"I'm afraid even Baron Smith can't do it. People from the Holy See have inherent privileges. Only the Inquisition can judge. Let alone a baron, even a marquis would not want to offend the Holy See."
"Yes! Who wants to offend the Holy See and be targeted by the Inquisition gang? Even if it's okay, they can find you guilty and send you to the stake!"
"We are Saint Solan, not Pompeii and Philippe. Since the Solan Open State, we have never bowed our heads to the Holy See. Why should we let their people do whatever they want?"
"The royal family has not bowed to the Holy Religion, but what about Donald? That is the Holy See's dog. If they killed Galas and never left, what can a bunch of civilians do to them? Even if Baron Smith comes,
No. If you offend the Holy See, you are tantamount to offending Donald!"
"What about Donald? Is he still flying here?"
"Idiot, the Fifth Legion belongs to him! There is no need for Donald to open his mouth. If the Fifth Legion loses its temper, everyone in Meiding City will suffer!"
"Are we just going to let them go like this?"
People were all talking and talking about it for a while.
Such things are not uncommon in Avalon continent.
For three hundred years, as the only religion in the Land of Redemption, the Holy See has already expanded into a behemoth that transcends the world.
No one can compete head-on with this behemoth. Not to mention these ordinary people and nobles, even the Saint Solan royal family, which has always been in conflict with the Holy See, must show respect and obedience on the surface.
Because the Holy See represents the Holy Emperor and the heaven with the loud chants in the sky, overlooking the mortal world.
Amid the commotion, Roy half-squinted his eyes coldly and looked towards the door of the church.
The solemn church stands in the center of the square with extraordinary majesty. At least from the outside, it is even better than the Mission Hall.
The same buildings can be found in every big and small city in the Land of Redemption. Their existence supports a core of faith that is so solid that it cannot be shaken.
Just like these people present, no matter how angry they are and how much they denounce Galas and the Vatican guards who protected him, they will not connect this crime with the gods they believe in.
In their view, any evil comes from human beings themselves and has nothing to do with the merciful Holy Father.
In the covenant books, the Holy Father’s teachings are to persuade people to do good, to care for the world, and to wash away the sins inherent in their lives with faith.
Although a person like Gallas infiltrated the Holy See and became a clergyman, he betrayed the Holy Father and what he did only represented himself.
This is the power of faith in this world. This power cannot be changed by one person.
No matter how powerful a person is!
Roy believed that if someone was not attacking Galas and the people who protected him at this moment, but directly targeting the Holy Emperor and the Holy See, countless knights with firm faith would immediately pull out their swords and attack
The civilians will immediately draw a clear line with this person.
To believers, heretics are always more deserving of being burned at the stake than criminals.
At the gate of the church, seven or eight Vatican guards stood nervously holding guns. In the open space not far from them, several clergymen wearing Vatican attire were negotiating with the parties involved.
Roy's eyes turned to these people, and suddenly he saw a familiar face with red eyes among the people involved.
Ling Xuan? Could it be...
His eyes suddenly froze, and he quickly squeezed through the crowd and walked over.
Standing in front of the church, listening to the negotiations not far away, Ling Xuan's whole body was trembling. She had to use all her strength to control her grief and anger, and forced herself to hold her twin sister, who was far more impulsive than her, against her will.
Rush into the church and dig out that scumbag.
Ling Xuan knew Gallas, and also knew the girl who was raped and murdered by Gallas - Anna. Because their homes were on the same street, she and Anna were originally close friends like sisters.
Neither Ling Xuan nor Anna like Galas.
If there are some people in this world who are born villains, then Gallas, whose character is so despicable that he has no bottom line, is definitely one of them.
Four years ago, when Galas fled in panic under the arrest of Medin City guards, Ling Xuan and Anna celebrated.
You know, Gallas, who has always coveted Anna's beauty, has harassed Anna more and more frequently in those two years. In order to get Anna, he even spread the word, claiming that anyone dared to pursue Anna, or Anna's family dared to
If Anna is betrothed to someone else, he will kill their whole family.
Anna lived in fear every day. It wasn't until Galas escaped that she truly breathed a sigh of relief and lived a normal life.
Ling Xuan and Anna have a deep relationship, and they will share everything with each other no matter what.
Not long ago, Ling Xuan, who had just become the director of the Meiding City Mission Hall, was still at Anna's house, jumping and jumping with her best friend in her arms.
At that time, the neighbors in the whole street were happy that the Ling family had given birth to such a promising daughter. The parents had smiles on their faces, and the twin sisters who were about to apply for the first training camp in Munich worshiped them every day.
He looked at his sister with his eyes.
Anna, who was already preparing to get married, and Ling Xuan sat on the bed and chatted happily all night. They were full of sweet longing for the future.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, his best friend since childhood had turned into a bloody corpse.
When Ling Xuan was awakened from her dream by the shouting, she rushed to Anna's home and picked up Anna, who was lying naked in a pool of blood. Her eyes were still wide open.
Until now, Ling Xuan's clothes were still covered with Anna's blood, and before her eyes, she was still young and beautiful, just like Anna's eyes that refused to close as they bloomed like flowers.
Ling Xuan believes that this is a murder case that is absolutely undisputed. Even if Galas is cut into pieces, Anna's life cannot be saved.
But she didn't expect that after several holy deacons and monks came out, the Vatican guards changed their words. They insisted that everyone had seen it wrong. They insisted that Galas had been resting in the church room. Even Smith just now
The baron sent people, but to no avail.
"Sorry, sir, we have already said that Mr. Gallas has always been in the church and has never come out. If you insist on slandering a distinguished third-level deacon, I suggest you first think about what you can give.
cost."
The negotiations have reached a deadlock. One of the deacons was a little impatient and said coldly.
"Impossible! It's Gallas! The Holy Father testifies! Call him out!" Anna's father and brother had lost their minds in anger and grief. If the people next to them hadn't been holding them tightly, I'm afraid they would have pounced on them.
Bite to death the deacon who called a deer a horse.
During the stalemate, a Holy See knight led a pair of guards and hurriedly walked out of the church.
"Spread out! Spread out!"
As soon as they went out, the guards spread out under the command of the ashen-faced Holy See knight, using their lances to disperse the crowd.
"By order of the Bishop of Lullian West District, the escort is ready to set off." A deacon wearing a white silver-edged robe walked to the front of the crowd, looked around, and said in a high-pitched voice: "Anyone who blocks or attacks the guard will be punished.
Considered an attack on the Holy See."
The crowd was silent, and everyone looked at the deacon with his chin held high under the protection of the Vatican guards with hateful but helpless eyes.
"Disperse!" The guards expanded the area of dispersal.
At this moment, the leading knight's eyes suddenly narrowed, he pointed behind Ling Xuan and shouted angrily: "Who are you, get out!"
Ling Xuan suddenly turned around and saw Roy stepping out of the crowd of people who were being dispersed and retreating, walking towards her.
