Chapter 168 Villeroy’s dagger to assassinate Garris
This is a dagger that is so cheap that it can hardly be called a weapon.
The handle of the knife was cut from low-quality wood and was almost unpainted. Not only did it not fit the palm of your hand, but it became rough and difficult to hold due to long-term use.
The linen strip tied to the handle of the knife has been soaked and blackened by sweat, and now it is stained with dark red blood. The blood stains are mottled, like the marks of a tragic moment.
It is those blood marks that declare to the world the sin of this dagger.
Of course, this dagger also became a sacred object.
Because it is [Villeroy's dagger to assassinate Garris].
This dagger was created after being stained with the blood of the prophet.
The day after the dagger appeared, bad news spread in the city. The priest, who was loved by almost everyone in the lower city, died.
However, the atmosphere in the city is very strange. It is a bit sad, and there are indeed many people mourning it.
But many people's expressions were very strange, as if Garris should not die and would not die.
Whether it's the young men guarding the city walls in Lorien, Father Antoine, or even Bishop Amedet...
They were all thinking about one question: Is Villeroy's killing of Garris a crime?
Does Villeroy need to be caught and sentenced to death?
Of course, this is just their logical thinking.
In fact, many people know the truth of the matter. After all, this is during the siege, and those in key positions cannot be shaken.
However, among the main citizens in the city, the news that Garris was stabbed to death still spread.
And by the time the [Villeroy's Dagger of Assassination of Garris] was handed over to Councilor Etienne, the Congressman had already heard the news of Garris's death.
For this reason, he was very happy!
Not only did he hand over the balance of 100 gold dinars on the spot, he also took out a shining sapphire and threw it to the broker, indicating that it was a tip and should be treated as a reward.
In such a joyful state of celebration, Monsieur Etienne naturally did not notice the strange expression on the broker's face.
The broker left immediately after taking the money. After walking far away, he turned back to face Master Etienne's mansion and spat fiercely.
He knew very well that Etienne could not be saved, that house could not be saved, and that all those uptown gentlemen could not be saved.
These congressmen are already people on a sinking ship. When the ship is leaking, they are not aware of what is gestating in the ocean below them.
A big storm is coming, a tsunami is about to set off, and the person killed by these gentlemen's money will merge into the sea.
When it returns again, it will be a huge wave.
……
The cathedral stands majestically, like a giant stone tower reaching into the sky.
The gray-white stone walls are covered with reliefs of biblical stories, and the rose window above the main entrance is exquisite.
The beam of light casts colorful light and shadow through the stained glass, reflecting the loving face of the Virgin Mary.
Compared with the church that Father Antoine is responsible for, the Karak City Church, as the cathedral of Amedee, is much more splendid.
Today, in this church, a funeral is being held, and the Bishop of Karak, Amedeh, is personally in charge of it.
Under this scorching sun, even though Karak City is located on a plateau, people can't help but sweat profusely.
Countless people gathered here to say goodbye to the city's city defense officer, the leper king's knight, the descendant of the Villeroy family, and the priest in the hearts of the people in the lower town.
He led those attending the funeral in personally reciting Bible verses to convey the Christian belief in resurrection and eternal life. "The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and pain cannot hurt them."
"In the eyes of fools, they are considered dead, and they think that their death is punishment,"
"Leaving us seems to be disappearing; in fact, they are in peace;"
"On this mountain the Lord of hosts will prepare a great feast for all the people... He will wipe away tears from every face and remove reproach from the face of the earth, for so says the Lord."
Immediately afterwards, the people around him also sang together.
"Lord, grant them eternal rest,"
"Let everlasting light shine upon them."
"Lord, your praise will be sung in Zion,"
"My vows shall be paid to you in Jerusalem."
"Please hear my prayer,"
"For all flesh comes before you."
Many of the congressmen who participated in the funeral pretended to wipe away a tear, as if they were moved by the sacred and sad atmosphere.
At the request of Bishop Amedet, Councilor Etienne personally walked to the coffin to deliver a speech to the respected city defense officer on behalf of the city of Karak.
Councilor Etienne was not very happy at first, but considering that this face-saving project should be done, he went ahead.
Next to the coffin, Councilor Etienne gave his speech in a sad and high-spirited tone.
"Dear Bishop Amedeh, dear citizens, today we stand with sadness and anger beside the coffin of this city defense officer who devoted his life to the city of Karak."
"He is not only our guardian, but also the backbone of this city. Now, he encountered a despicable plot and died at the hands of an assassin. This is undoubtedly an unforgivable crime!"
"Regarding this assassination incident, on behalf of the Karak City Municipal Council, I promise that we will never sit idly by and ignore it!"
"The city of Karak will do its best to investigate to the end, severely punish the murderer, and seek justice for our city defense chief Garris!"
"In this special situation, anyone who attempts to disturb the peace of this city will be punished by the law and God!"
"Today we are not only mourning his passing, but also swearing that his blood will not be shed in vain! His loyalty and courage will inspire each of us!"
"May the Lord accept his soul, and may his heroic spirit be with us and continue to bless this city he guarded with his life."
Councilor Etienne gave an impassioned speech, and the citizens below also applauded.
Listening to the applause of the citizens, even Councilor Etienne couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
Now, with Gellis gone, only Bishop Amedai is left, who will firmly prevent surrender.
Dealing with an old man is much easier than dealing with a young man.
Nowadays, no one can stop him from selling the city!
However, just when Congressman Etienne was complacent.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted loudly:
"Get down now! You murderer!"
The fourth update, I paid back the monthly ticket debt of 600
