Alien Knights

Chapter 54: Heresy trial (4)

   "I know this man!" A monk stood up in the audience and exclaimed: "He always haunts the library of the monastery!"

   An elderly monk glared at the speaker, and slowly said, "Could it be a misunderstanding? There has never been such an arsonist in the Abbey of San Sidro."

   The knight nodded to the sergeant behind him, who opened the cloth bag in his hand and poured out the contents.

   Flintstones, kerosene cans, pyrotechnic paper and other items fell on the ground, causing an uproar from the audience.

   Karin, who was awakened by the noise, opened her eyes in a daze, shook her head with a splitting headache, and sat up straight. The monk's hood slipped from the top of his head to his shoulders, and his long black hair was exposed to everyone's sight.

   "This is a woman!"

   "The monk in this monastery is actually a woman!"

   The shouts and laughter were endless, and people looked at the monks with unspeakable taste.

   The monks were flushed, and it goes without saying that some people covered their faces with robes.

   However, there was a person in the audience. After seeing Karin's appearance, he did not join the booing team. Instead, he found the court staff and whispered.

  The court staff hurriedly walked to the trial stand, attached their mouth to Father Paul's ear, and whispered for a while.

The dispirited and dejected judge, the light in his eyes gradually brightened, as if he had been beaten with blood, he jumped from the ground, grabbed the shoulders of the person beside him, and asked excitedly: "Really?! "

  Getting the affirmative answer from the other party, Paul walked up to Todd with enthusiasm, looked into the other's eyes, and asked loudly, "Todd, do you know this woman?"

   Is the defendant related to this woman pretending to be a monk?

   The various voices in the hall, because of the question of the interrogator, are all reduced to nothing.

   While the respondent did not answer his question, he focused all his attention on the suspect of the arson and remained silent.

   The priest took a step closer to the monk, and whispered: "A woman who pretends to be a priest will be punished by fire!"

   Todd's eyes moved.

  Paul stepped back and asked loudly, "Then I will change another question, this woman, but you brought it into the monastery?!"

   Raising this question from the judge caused the people in the audience to whisper in bursts.

   Karin, who gradually understood the current situation and her own situation, shook her head anxiously, wanting to take all the responsibility on her, and shouted: "No! I don't know him!"

   Todd closed his eyes in pain.

   Queen Mary glanced at the woman sitting on the ground, and then at the defendant on the high platform, she had a general judgment of all this in her heart. Put the folding fan away in your hands, and said softly in your mouth: "One or two dead?"

   The crime of conspiracy to arson is aside for the time being, just "a woman pretending to be a monk and entering the monastery without permission" can be sentenced to death. The key question is whether Todd will admit that he hid this woman in the monastery?

  If he doesn't admit it, the woman will naturally be executed, and he will only be criticized for his reputation; if he admits it, then both of them will die.

   So, this is a question of "one dead or two".

   However, Queen Mary already has the answer in her heart.

   Men are always selfish animals.

  Father, for the sake of the country, he can sacrifice his daughter.

  Brother, for the sake of power, you can abandon your sister.

   Husband, for the sake of face, he can humiliate his wife.

   man, but so.

   The queen squeezed the folding fan in her hand tightly.

   "Yes, I brought this sister into the monastery..."

and many more!

   What did he just say? !

   The queen stayed in place, the folding fan fell to the ground blankly.

   Todd's words seemed to have smashed a huge hornet's nest, the voices of the audience burst, and everyone was in chaos. No one would have thought that the innocent man, the righteous alchemist, would actually hide a woman in the holy monastery!

   People stood up one after another, accusing loudly.

   "Unclean!"

   "Fall!"

   Father Paul raised his hands and shouted to the sky: "I declare that Todd, as a priest, has committed blasphemy! He and this woman deserve to be sentenced to fire!"

   Seeing Huggins and the "acquaintances" who were about to move at the door, Todd gently shook his head toward the front. Karin's crying face made him clenched his fists. Although his face was calm, his chest was already full of anger, and his brain turned rapidly.

  The accusation against Karin was something he had never foreseen before. And the most troublesome thing is that the crime of "woman pretending to be a monk" is full of human and material evidence, and there is no possibility of overturning the case. But if Todd were to give up Karin and live on his own, he would never be able to do such a thing, not only because they are partners, but also because of his heart.

   If you want to save Karin and protect yourself, I’m afraid you can only use the chess moves and the sword to stray...

   Todd stepped off the trial stand, came to Karin, pointed to her and said, "This is a pious woman, a loyal believer."

   The girl who had once made a statement "to be angry with the wall", when she heard this, she looked around suspiciously, and almost pointed to herself and asked the other person, "Are you talking about me?" 』

"Her soul longs for the Father, and her body is eagerly looking at the Holy Spirit. She wants to see the power and glory of the Lord, because the supreme love is more precious than her life!" The monk's words wrinkled Karin deeply. I raised my brows and forgot to cry.

   Todd lowered his head~www.readwn.com~ concealedly blinked at the girl, motioning for her to cooperate with him.

   Karin, who suddenly realized, crossed her fingers quickly, put her fingers on her chest, and put on a praying appearance.

   Todd's volume is getting louder and louder: "But such a pious woman, who wants to learn the theology and the philosophy of the sages, is repeatedly turned away! Why?! Because of her gender!"

The monk waved his hand to the south: "To the south of us, other countries in the Western Diocese have established nuns and sisterhoods for women who are devoted to holy. And the churches of the Silver Ring Kingdom, count For hundreds of years, they have been rejecting women from the gates of Heavenly Father’s Sanctuary!"

   "Heavenly Father teaches us that we are all equal, but what have we servants done?! It is a privilege to listen to the voice of God!"

   "So, she disguised herself and lived in the monastery library secretly, just to see the true content of the scriptures!"

Todd walked in front of the monks and bowed his head sincerely to the elderly monks: "I admit that it was a wrong act to take this woman into the monastery without your permission. However, I It is extremely correct to think that this kind of belief in the holy way is!"

Seeing the church, the monks and the others, showing a positive look at Todd’s statement, Father Paul yelled anxiously: “Don’t believe this ridiculous statement. The matter is unforgivable..."

   "If I say that this woman is pure and flawless..." Todd looked at Paul's eyes with a calm expression.

   Regarding this statement, Paul snorted completely and squeaked his teeth: "Pure? No time? I don't believe it! I need someone to test her chastity!"
