Chapter 378 Advice
“I am not a witch!”
The girl explained to Queller with a broken expression, as if the word witch contained a great curse.
"Hmph!" Quintus came over proudly, grabbed the girl's arm and lifted her body hard, and then covered her mouth.
"Master Foster, I won't bother you with the guards here. We will take her to the church prison and interrogate her thoroughly."
As soon as he said this, his companions in the purification team lost their wariness towards the guards, and instead showed lewd expressions.
Quiller frowned, seeming to be thinking about what he should do. It would be difficult to deal with wizards.
Just then a voice sounded, "Let go of this poor girl, you villains!"
It was Liszt, and he walked up to Queller indignantly. , said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Captain of the Guard, I can testify that this group of so-called purification team members were bullying that girl just now. Those words about witches were simply made up by them on the spur of the moment to fool you."
"Can't I see it?" Queller thought to himself.
Now that someone has come forward to testify, Queller once again put on a serious face and asked Quintus:
"You said she is suspected of being a witch. How do you think she is suspected of being a witch? I can't let a law-abiding person Good citizens are thrown into jail by you casually!”
“This…”
Quintus was speechless for a moment, and then he became angry: This The young master of the Foster family was too disrespectful. He tolerated the show of prestige at the beginning, but he refused to step down over and over again. Is it so easy to bully someone from the church?
Suspected of being a witch? Do you want to make up a reason now? Quintus knew that with the brains of his group, it was really difficult, and he was very good at fighting and grabbing.
Just when Quintus and others were stunned, Queller snorted and said, "I'll do it myself!"
Then he took out a milky white stone.
Could it be? Could it be that he actually has that? The people in the purification team suddenly widened their eyes.
“This is the magic stone!” Queller shouted in the hall while holding the stone.
“As long as there are traces of witchcraft on this girl, it can be easily detected!”
There was a sound of surprise in the lobby, and everyone stared at the milky white stone. As expected of a child of a big family, he can carry such rare things with him.
After saying that, he touched the stone to the girl's forehead.
Unexpectedly, Quintus pulled the girl behind him and said in a bad tone: "Captain! You are a huge insult to us, the servants of the gods in the world!"
Quiller retorted: "I never meant to insult! I was just performing the duties of the guard!"
The two sides refused to give in and were in a stalemate.
"Master Foster!"
A cold voice came, attracting Queller's attention.
Everyone looked at the entrance and saw a man in armor walking slowly in.
As this person came in, the temperature in the lobby seemed to drop suddenly.
Someone noticed that he had three silver leaves pinned to his armor, "He is a paladin of the church!"
"Knight Velius." Queller called this man's name.
The knight walked up to him and saluted, "I'm sorry, our people have caused you trouble."
Then he glanced at Quintus and said in a commanding tone: "Bring the people here!"
Quintus seemed to have been calmed down since the knight came in. After hearing the order, he whispered with some trembling: "But...but...Lord Velius... ..."
"What? You want to disobey my order?"
"No, no, no! I will never dare to disobey your order, Lord Velius."
With trembling hands, he pushed the girl he had just restrained forward.
Quiller quickly touched the stone to the girl's forehead.
Everyone around them focused their attention on the stone, while Quintus swallowed quietly.
A few seconds passed, and the white stone did not change at all.
Queller looked at Quintus, his eyes becoming sharp.
"Master Foster..." Quintus no longer had the breeze as before, and he explained in a panic: "If the other party has not been exposed to witchcraft in the near future, the magic stone will not work." "Quintus, since she has not been exposed to witchcraft in the past few days, have you found any other traces?"
Quiller hadn't spoken yet, but it was the knight. Question him.
"This...this...Lord Velius..."
Quintus hesitated, sweat dripping down his cheeks, but he couldn't explain why.
"I'm sorry! Lord Velius, I...I was wrong, I embarrassed you!"
He suddenly fell to his knees with a regretful tone. beg for mercy.
The knight did not allow him to tell the difference and kicked him in the chest. Quintus flew backwards.
“You are not embarrassing me, you are smearing the glorious image of the Holy Religion!”
The knight's tone became colder, and he turned to Queller and said: "Master Foster, please deal with him for the crime of provoking trouble. This is your right."
"Thank you, Knight Velius. !”
Despite saying this, the distance in Queller’s tone was very obvious. He knew this person, and he knew clearly how much fanaticism about his own beliefs was hidden under his fair appearance. This kind of fanaticism can sometimes make people very irrational.
The knight didn't say another word, waved his hand and left.
Quintus's accomplices quickly followed him but kept a certain distance, and also hurried away. Queller didn't care, his target was Quintus alone.
"Thank you! Thank you, Master Foster! You will be rewarded for being a good person!"
The girl who was almost kidnapped as a witch knelt on the ground and thanked Queller repeatedly. For her, now is simply the aftermath of a disaster.
"Be careful in the future!"
After casually comforting the girl, Queller ordered his men to escort the frustrated Quintus away, and then looked at Liszt aside.
“From your accent, are you from the Northwest Bay?”
"Yes, sir, I'm from there." Liszt responded in a panic.
Quiller smiled: "Well, for some reason, I have a good impression of you guys, so..."
He suddenly changed to a serious expression: "Here Just a piece of advice, try to keep a low profile in Jiaowan, especially don’t get involved in things related to the church. This is a special time."
"I...I understand...Thank you!"
In fact, no need to remind, Liszt also deeply realized it.
"Remember my words. Of course, I still appreciate your righteous deed today, but..."
Quiller patted him on the shoulder, "You have to do your best to deal with injustice!"
>"I will pay attention next time." Liszt's face suddenly turned red.
"Close the team!" Kueller waved his hand and led the people away.
"Huh!" Liszt wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"You bastard! I almost got killed by you!"
He was punched hard on the back, and at the same time he heard the voice of his companion McKinley.
"McKinley? Are you still here? I thought you ran away!"
"It's true that you are a bastard! Am I that kind of person? Oh, let's go, let's go Let’s leave this place of right and wrong first, and I’ll settle the score with you when I go back.”
The two hurriedly walked outside through the once again lively lobby, and along the way, people kept raising glasses in salute to Liszt.
"Well done, Yankees!"
"Cheers to justice!"
"Cheers to the fight against injustice!"
I don't know if it's really a tribute to him or not. Ridiculing him.
