Chapter 678 God’s messenger is in trouble

Verdo never expected that when he arrived in Osenko, Eden would be imprisoned again.

When Deschanel was there, Eden was imprisoned for offending the emperor, but this time, Eden was actually imprisoned for assassinating the king.

"Oh...damn, damn..."

After learning the details from Sister Cassandra, Verdo, who was almost a good old man in character, couldn't help but curse.

The dwarf priest squatted on the ground, his mind a mess.

The reason why he brought Eden to Osenko was, firstly, because he was worried about the revenge of the emperor or the emperor's flatterers, and secondly, because of the queen's commission and the investigation of heresy.

But now, the revenge from Deschanel has not been seen, and the heresy called Fahora has not taken any action. Instead, something has gone wrong with the originally trustworthy Osenko royal family.

Verdo believed that Eden was absolutely innocent and that he could not have planned to assassinate the king. After hearing Althea's speculation, Verdo determined that the real culprit was none other than Prince Devane, who was preparing to inherit the throne.

However, from his own perspective, Eden is innocent, but from the perspective of the Osenko people, it is different.

Although I heard that Eden often gave alms to Althea in the lower city, he not only won the support of the true Christian civilians, but also won the favor of the pagans who believed in the gods. However, no matter how much support and favor he received, it would not be enough. It was difficult to prove Eden's innocence.

"Merciful Lord...what to do now..."

Verdo pressed his forehead and muttered to himself in the room.

Sister Cassandra came to him before, firstly to inform him of the details, and secondly to allow him to ask for the help of Prophet Sealand.

After all, in the eyes of the true believers in the empire, Verdo was the one who had seen the prophet and could also communicate with the prophet.

However, only Verdo himself knew that the so-called prophet's letter was false, and the fact that Eden was a person valued by the prophet was also false. They were all fabricated by himself in the name of the prophet.

"God, are you punishing me? Because I used the name of a prophet..."

Verdo held his head with some regret and said.

He kept pacing back and forth in the room, thinking for a long time, but couldn't think of a good solution.

The best way to rescue Eden is to prove Eden's innocence. However, how can he prove Eden's innocence?

The evidence listed by Prince Devine is not groundless. Eden did meet Cassius V. At the same time, the wine the king drank was indeed produced by Deschanel. Prince Flo also confirmed that Eden was the mastermind behind the scenes. According to the testimonies, everyone believed that Iden and his associates were a cabal hiding in the shadow of the royal city - the Last Shamans, who shamelessly poisoned the king.

Verdo wanted to overturn the evidence, but he did not have the ability.

"And...even if I overturn these evidences, Prince Devine can fabricate more evidences."

Verdo felt that this time was more difficult than the last time Eden was imprisoned.

"What to do...it seems...it can only be the same as last time."

The dwarf priest thought about it and finally said to himself with difficulty.

Just like last time, he forged a letter, and at the same time continued to claim that Iden was a person valued by the prophet, and made up many legends about him.

By spreading the word in the streets, let people believe in Eden's identity and unite against the royal family. In this case, perhaps Prince Devine will be pressured to acquit Eden.

................................................

In the past few days, the monks of the Fahora sect have not waited for the messenger to come to preach.

The monks were all puzzled by this. It was not until Timian brought the news that the monks of the Fahora sect realized that Iden, who was suspected of assassinating the king, and the envoy were the same person.

When the news came out, the entire Fahora sect exploded. They discussed it at all. Among the monks, only a few believed that Iden had really assassinated the king, and most of them did not. Take Prince Devine's word for it. But no matter how they discussed, they could not prove Eden's innocence.

"...Should we...take action? Should we rescue him?"

A monk looked tentatively at the others and then asked.

"That's the messenger of God!"

Timian immediately said excitedly:

“How can we servants see him die in vain?”

Then, Timian quoted a few verses from the scriptures and continued to discuss them, trying to persuade everyone to work together to rescue Iden, even if they had to rob the prison.

However, not many of the monks present were convinced by Timian, and they had doubts on their faces.

"You said he is a messenger of God, does he really mean it?"

One monk retorted:

"The Great Elder Fahola once said that he may be, or he may not be. If not, then don't we have to take the greatest risk to obtain the smallest benefit?"

These words were not unreasonable, and even the monks who sympathized with Iden couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Although many people tend to believe that Eden is the messenger of God, that person has not performed many miracles, let alone accepted their teachings, and the kings of kings have not revealed to them, asking them to serve as such a person. It is really difficult for people to go through fire and water.

"Furthermore, although Prince Devine is a true believer, he may not necessarily listen to us. Even if we speak for Iden and use the name of God's messenger to dissuade him, since he has already determined that Iden is the murderer, Then it is absolutely impossible to change.

In addition, there are always people in the royal city who are against us and hate us true believers, especially the old nobles and some stubborn commoners. I can guarantee that they will curse us every once in a while. If we act recklessly like this, not only will we get no favors, but we will suffer even more persecution. "

Another monk spoke.

His words immediately received a lot of recognition, and the priests of the Fahora sect kept nodding and saying "yeah" and "yeah" in agreement.

"He is really a messenger of God. If he dies, we will be accomplices who refuse to save him."

A monk who believed in Iden's identity said eagerly.

It is not difficult for anyone to guess what Eden will go through.

Eden was not tried in public, and in this country, which is more barbaric than Deschanel, there is no concept of a public trial. Most trials are conducted in secret, which means that, Eden will never get justice, or even be qualified to defend himself.

If the Fahora sect cannot contribute, then the messenger of God will really be killed by mortals, just like the Logos who stoned the angels.

Just when the monks of the Fahola sect were arguing about this and preparing to start a frenzy of words, Fahola silently walked out of the depths of the church and appeared in front of everyone.

"Kings of kings, I serve you with all my heart."

After speaking, Fahola asked everyone:

"What happened?"

Timian's eyes lit up, as if grasping a life-saving straw, he rolled and crawled in front of Fahola. He knelt down, hugged Fahola's calf, and begged with a cry:

"The Great Elder, the messenger of God...he suffered a disaster. He was wronged by Prince Devine and thrown into prison. He is about to die!"
