Vol 2 Chapter 37

Dennis’ face was very ugly. He had never encountered such an unreasonable soldier when he was the vice-principal of the Twente Abbey. He felt a burst of anger at this way of welcoming him, and at the same time couldn’t help being shocked.

Tevin City is located in the Lixibi Plain, in the hinterland of Yamenan, and is a prosperous and stable commercial capital. The work of the Teven City Patrol Team focuses on detailed law enforcement, arbitration, and mediation. Its force is not comparable to that of the rangers in Aiboli, let alone the border troops trained by the annual beast tide. Dennis had never seen such a majestic army, the iron armor clattered, the hooves of the horses smashed the dull thunder, and the silent team stepped on the muddy water on the ground. Dennis’ robe feet were splashed with mud, he dared not speak out, thinking to himself, maybe the royal guard is nothing more than that?

“My lord general,” the new abbot reluctantly bowed, “Dare to ask, what kind of hospitality is it to keep us outside the city?”

“Oh, what a coincidence, a group of robbers have been wandering around recently.” Jane said casually, “Our soldiers are fighting against strange beasts outside, we can’t let them worry about whether their family members will be harassed by these unearned animals. Just after the summer break, martial law was imposed on the defense line to suppress the bandits. I’m really sorry for the delay in welcoming the distinguished guests.”

“Where is there, there must be a lot of gains?” Dennis smiled, and used the steps to expose this, “Your Excellency is really kind.”

“It’s really rewarding.”

Jane gave him an intriguing look and waved her hand. The team behind her immediately separated and stood on both sides. The knights dismounted and took off their helmets in unison. Jane led the horse and led the group of them to the city. There was no mistake in the etiquette of leading and leading, but this female alpha was a head taller than Dennis. As a foil, it seems that they are followers.

Dennis looked around uncomfortably. Every silent soldier on the side of the road had the sturdy aura of having experienced life-and-death battles. He was taken aback by the attention of these two people, looked at the favored man and ascetic monk next to him, and thought, the “gargoyle” from the ascetic monastery is nothing more, the favored man will not be scared stupid, right? ?

The Great Ascetic Monastery is the most mysterious institution of the Holy See, and the ascetic monks who come out of it are extremely pious and determined. Like the compatriots in the ascetic who were secretly called “gargoyles” by others, Lydia was expressionless, and no one knew what she was thinking.

As for the favored Anna. Sullivan…she was looking around, she looked like she was frightened.

An Xu looked at the troops on both sides, regretted that there were no beauties, and immediately studied the boots, armor, weapons, flags and horses full of ancient Western style with relish. She wasn’t afraid at all. To be honest, why should she be afraid? Even in reality, this “army” is at best a great stage performance, the level of Songcheng’s eternal love. She gasped in admiration throughout the whole process: “Oh, oh, what a great equestrian!”

The army in her concept is the majestic phalanx in the military parade that is as neat as double shadows, the collision and fighting of hundreds of thousands of troops in ancient costume TV, and the demon king’s army covering the sky and several races in the game. As far as the coalition forces at the beginning and end, she regarded this place as a fantasy dungeon, and naturally did not consider the situation where there were only a few thousand people in a national war.

An Xu thought, welcome us at the entrance ceremony, this general is quite kind.

Thinking wildly like this, they have already walked into the city. There were many people on both sides of the road, quietly watching the party behind the general in robes. They whispered to each other from time to time, and An Xu couldn’t understand the expressions on their faces for a moment, since they couldn’t be happy to welcome them anyway.

“My lord general!” Dennis took a breath suddenly, pointing a finger in front of him and trembling, “What does this mean!”

An Xu followed his fingers and saw something like a shelf on the square in front of him, with a string of heads hanging on it. The head was surrounded by flies, and it was impossible to see male, female, old or young, only that the top of the head seemed to be bald. There was still dried blood on the ground, which looked disgusting.

“The felons here will hang for a few months after being beheaded. Doesn’t the dean know?” Jane stopped, turned around and said.

“These people! Why are these people shaved?” Dennis said angrily.

Hey? Shaved? An Xu looked intently, those hairs were not bald, but more like a piece of hair was shaved off.

The Guangming religion also has shaving ceremonies, but those who want to be shaved are not official priests from colleges and ascetics, but converts who have become monks halfway. These converts take an oath to serve the gods, and as long as they are recognized by the local monastery, they can take refuge in the monastery.

“Yeah, it’s really surprising.” Jane dragged her voice, “I’m also very surprised, why do these beasts in the fish and meat town shave their heads?”

Dennis keenly sensed the unkindness in the other party’s voice. He suppressed his anger and said, “Maybe the general should check carefully before arresting? If the criminals may be related to the monastery, shouldn’t they be handed over to the monastery?”

“Well said!” Jane cheered, and strode towards the heads, “Of course you can’t be arrested without evidence, David, bring the evidence!”

The adjutant named David came out to salute, and quickly brought the “evidence” over. A dozen civilians and soldiers came out, and a dozen boxes were placed on the square, landing with a loud bang. Jane stood beside a head and raised her voice, “Zack Bessemo!”

“Households were seized, properties were plundered, innocent people were lynched on false charges,” David said.

A box was opened, revealing the gorgeous crystal statue inside. A teenager stood up, looked at the head numbly, moved his lips, and said nothing.

“Nathaniel Godwin!”

“Rape and rob, **** #violent omegas, and disfigure the victims with hot oil when they fail.”

The woman with a black gauze on her face stood up, and she lifted the gauze on her face, revealing a distorted and terrifying face, and the side profile of the intact half of her face could still see the former beauty.

“Philip Wheeler!”

“Self-proclaimed priests molested many children in the name of prayer.”

The aunt dressed as a butcher came out. She spat on the head, stared at Dennis and his party with a pair of bull eyes, and growled, “This **** in a robe killed my son! The children in the choir were killed. It’s a poisonous hand! It’s time to cut off a few of his hands, chop them up and feed them to the dogs!”

Her saliva sprayed onto Daniel’s face, and the guards stopped her symbolically, only keeping her waving fist from hitting the head of the monastery.

One head followed the next, each head containing the loot and the victim. The red-haired general looked at Dennis coldly. The new abbot was so stared at him that he couldn’t meet his eyes, so he could only look at the square. He noticed uneasily that there were more and more people around the square. They silently listened to the adjutant’s reading of the charges, and looked at the heads and outsiders in robes, like a flock of carrion birds with cold eyes.

“Then, Lord Dean,” Jane turned around on the side of the last head, and sneered, “Can you see clearly, are these sinners related to the monastery?”

Dennis was speechless.

In the beginning, when Yamenan was just a combination of several human sanctuaries, human beings had not yet been able to gain a firm foothold under the siege of alien beasts, and every human being was precious. Those who were shaved at that time were all criminals, which meant that they did not have to serve prison terms, because they had already dedicated their lives to God: they had no right to own any wealth, and they would become the death squads at the forefront of the church when it faced the tide of alien beasts.

Now that the human realm has been basically stabilized, shaved conversion has become the best choice for criminals who are rich, powerful, and powerful, but not rich enough to get away with crime. They are basically the private soldiers of the monastery, enjoying the protection of the Holy See, and at the same time doing some dirty and dirty things for the Holy See. This kind of thing is more common in the more remote places, and it has become an unspoken rule that is tacitly allowed. The Stewart family has only been favored by the king since Jane’s father’s generation, and they don’t have much heritage. How dare Jane break this tacit rule? Could it be that His Majesty the King is about to start taking action against the Holy See?

Jian Dingding looked at him, still waiting for an answer. Dennis forced a smile and said, “Naturally, this must be an impostor who has ruined the reputation of the Holy See.”

“That’s really great.” The general smiled, showing his beast-like canines, “Otherwise, we have to ask the dean to go to the monastery to check it out. After all, the previous dean of Tibes Monastery left in a hurry and didn’t have time to stay.” Hand over the manuscript.”

Dennis thumped in his heart, secretly groaning. He just knew why the transfer order came so suddenly! He also thought about recruiting a favored person to mobilize him, which is completely overqualified. Now it seems that the former abbot may not have vacated his position because of the failure of the power struggle. If he had known that there was something wrong with this vacancy, he would have stayed in Tewen by pretending to be sick!

When each abbot leaves office, he should organize the property of the monastery into a list, so as to avoid anyone embezzling and corrupting ink during the handover process, but now the general says no. Dennis couldn’t stand for a moment, and the part of him from the commercial capital yelled, asking him to rush to the monastery to check the property damage.

“My lord general, if you can return the monastery’s innocence, all brothers and sisters will be grateful for your righteousness.” Dennis said stiffly, “It’s not too early now…”

“Oh, look at me, I’ll tell you all about the bad things.” Jane suddenly laughed boldly, clapped her hands, and told the soldiers to disperse the crowd. She enthusiastically grabbed Dennis’s arm, pulled him along and said, “I’m a rough man. I’m so busy dealing with these **** that I’ve forgotten the most important thing! Your Excellency the Dean and His Excellency are here, Be sure to try the special dishes of the Tibes Defense Line! It’s getting late now, and the banquet is about to start, please be sure to enjoy it!”

“This is…”

“…Respect is worse than obedience!”

Dennis was about to shirk, but An Xu quickly responded. She wandered around and watched for a long time, and then she came out and quickly grasped the point. The corner of the Abbot’s mouth twitched, missing the best time to get away.
