Chapter 15 The Holy Judge


Chapter 15 The Holy Judge

How could this tone sound like arresting a criminal suspect... Luo Xiu frowned.

He had never underestimated the efficiency of the "Holy Judges", but he shouldn't have been discovered so quickly, right?

Seeing the slightly stunned expression on Luo Xiu's face, the young priest next to the knight spread his hands helplessly.

"I'm sorry...my companion, Pamier, is like this..."

As he spoke, the priest patted Pamier's armor lightly.

"Pamier, don't use such a tone to speak to our colleagues. We are here to seek help. This gentleman is not a criminal."

the priest scolded softly.

No, actually I am... Miss Palmier is really good at reading people.jpg
"Okay." Luo Xiu smiled and nodded, with a questioning expression on his face, "I will help you, but please tell me first. What happened."

Luo Xiu, accompanied by the knights and priests, marched towards the mayor's mansion in Dawn Town while listening to the young priest explain to Luo Xiu the "extraordinary incident" he had just taken over.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Connor. As you can see, I am a priest. Her name is Pamier and her profession is a paladin...

Two days ago, the sheriff here received a report and found two bodies in different locations in the town...

The skull of one of them was blown to pieces, and the other had his lower abdomen and chest pierced...

The escort initially judged that the two deceased people were cultists from "Red Lotus" and characterized it as an extraordinary incident. Then they notified us stationed in Songyuan Territory to investigate...

…”

The young pastor was talking incessantly, and Luo Xiu responded with a smile. At the same time, he opened the panel and took a closer look at the details of the two Holy Judges.

The young pastor's full name is Connor Luen. He is an extraordinary person with the second destiny of [Glory], and his occupation is "Pastor of Holy Light".

The other knight, her full name is Pamielle Skadia, is also an extraordinary person with the second destiny of [Glory], and her profession is "Paladin".

Because Pamier was wearing heavy armor, her appearance could not be clearly seen...and since she was scolded by Connor just now, she stopped talking and seemed quite taciturn.

"The Holy Court has sent two Holy Judges with only two lives. Well... this is the minimum configuration. It shows that the Holy Court does not pay much attention to what happens here..."

Luo Xiu secretly speculated while continuing to chat with Connor.

"I heard that their death was very tragic... However, because they are followers of the Red Lotus, no matter who the murderer is, we have no motive or obligation to pursue them."

As he spoke, Connor glanced at Luo Xiu and observed the change in his expression.

Luo Xiu showed surprise and a hint of loss at the right time, and said in the direction of Connor:

"So, the two adults' visit this time can only be regarded as a 'routine matter'?"

"Oh no, of course not."

Connor shook his head, "Although we are not here to track down the murderer, we are indeed here to solve the 'paranormal incident'."

"What's the difference?" Luo Xiu asked.

Connor was about to say something, but Pamier spoke first.

"Of course there is a difference..."

A cold female voice came from under the heavy face-covering helmet, "The deceased is a 'Red Lotus' believer. You should understand that even if they are corpses, they are still very dangerous."

Hearing this, Luo Xiu's heart jumped suddenly, as if he realized something.

Palmier continued:
“The corpse of an extraordinary person with residual spirituality is extremely unstable...

If activated by some malicious beings, or if some kind of distortion occurs inside the corpse, these corpses will immediately be 'resurrected' and turn into terrifying monsters. "

Looking at Luo Xiu's disbelief, Pamier said:

"As a 'brilliant' 'priest', you are different from ordinary 'believers', and sooner or later you will come into contact with the extraordinary door. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with letting you have access to this knowledge in advance."

She thought I was scared...?
Luo Xiu thought about it, and then nodded to Pamier with a suitable expression:

"Okay, I'll pay attention."

In fact, Luo Xiu was thinking about other things in his mind.

He has known for a long time that there is indeed a setting in "God's Destiny" where extraordinary distortion will occur due to "spiritual rampage".

It was just Pamier's words that invisibly solved a problem that had troubled Luo Xiu for a long time.

When Luo Xiu, Pamier, and Connor arrived at the mayor's mansion, the mayor stood in front of the mansion and greeted them personally.

"Master Connor! Master Pamier! I have been waiting for you for a long time... you are finally here!"

The old mayor showed unprecedented enthusiasm, "When I found out that a cultist had died in our town, I couldn't sleep or eat well, and I didn't sleep well for two whole days..."

Looking at Connor's slightly frowned brows and Pamier's slightly shaken body, Luo Xiu couldn't help but laugh.

"It seems that this is not their first time in this place...Have they solved similar 'extraordinary events' before?" Luo Xiu thought to himself.

Connor, Pamier and the old mayor knew each other. Luo Xiu noticed that the old mayor's eyes stayed on him for a moment, and then turned elsewhere.

But just at this moment, Luo Xiu felt strong suspicion, rejection and distrust...

Luo Xiu still kept smiling. Thinking about the atmosphere of officials in the Songyuan Territory and even the entire Nolan Empire, it seems that they believe in the "god" who is far away in the horizon the most, and secondly they believe in the "Holy Court" with the official extraordinary background. .

But until the end, they did not want to believe that there was a reliable and extraordinary person with extraordinary power beside them...

Although the "Glory Church" in Morningside Town is indeed affiliated with the Holy Court, it does not have the qualifications to cultivate "Holy Judges". It is more like an institution that handles folk beliefs, rather than [Glory] believers studying the extraordinary. place.

Therefore, in the eyes of many ordinary people, the influence of the "Holy Court" in solving "extraordinary events" will only go down to the "church" level of the diocese. However, they were not convinced by the ability of the "Glory Church" at the village level to handle certain extraordinary events.

The old mayor, who was just skeptical of Luo Xiu, was already quite friendly.

Luo Xiu simply pretended not to see it.

"No more polite words, Mayor Rupert..."

Pamier said in a cold tone, "Take us to see where the body is kept."

"Okay, Master Pamier." Mayor Rupert smiled and led Luo Xiu and the others towards the abandoned alley.

"Based on the lesson learned from the last time, and under your teachings, we moved the body to an uninhabited abandoned alley, so that even if something happens, no one will be injured..."

Mayor Rupert said with a smile, "At the same time, I asked the guards to guard the entrances to the abandoned alleys at both ends. It is impossible for people with bad intentions to come in, um... absolutely impossible."

"Very good." Pamier nodded, and the group of people had now reached the entrance to one end of the abandoned alley.

When the guards wearing half leather armor saw Mayor Rupert appear with three "guests", they tilted their long swords towards Rupert and the three of them and raised them forward - this is The military salute of the Nolan Empire to show respect to the superior.

"It's right in front. It'll be there soon."

Mayor Rupert said with a smile, and took out a handful of hair that did not exist. "Please rest assured, adults, there will be no mistakes in guarding the corpses of the cultists this time. It is absolutely safe..."

No, why does this old man love flag so much...?
Luo Xiu couldn't help complaining in his heart, feeling as if he saw an old general on a stage full of military flags.

He followed closely behind Pamier and Connor, walking deeper into the guard area.
