Chapter 105 Son of Glory
Under the high platform, Luo Xiu, Pamier and Connor were mixed in with the boiling crowd as "guards".
Seeing the body of Lord Lodiff hanging on the gallows, the "Holy Judges" felt unprecedentedly comfortable in their hearts.
This is not just as simple as sanctioning a city's cancer.
Rodive's death has a deeper meaning - the [Supreme] rulers made concessions and compromises to them regarding Rodive's matter!
This means that their "Holy Judge" team, with Anthony as the captain, will have a higher reputation in the "Holy Court" and will be able to receive more resources from the church.
After all, this is a very rare "escalation" incident that is perfectly resolved in the history of the Holy Inquisitor. Once such an incident involves the background of the [Supreme], it will most likely be taken over by people from the "Department of Justice".
And those [Supreme] people, their way of solving problems is often contrary to [Glory].
For example, they will probably only imprison Rodive and let new candidates take over the position of "Lord of Red Maple City", but for the heretics of the "Ancient Hermitage", the [Supreme] people will let them go Free to leave, because in the eyes of these rulers, "extermination of the infidels" will not affect their dominance and rule over secular society.
"Finally..." Connor sighed, and he said to Luo Xiu beside him, "Lodiv has finally been executed. Do you want to write a letter to your teacher, the great priest Ivan, to tell him about this?"
"I'll find time." Luo Xiu responded with a smile, "Sooner or later I will tell him about Rodive, and he will definitely be happy."
…
Lodiff's body will hang on the gallows for seven days and seven nights.
This is the authority shown to the people by the [Supreme], a sign of the end of a conspiracy, and a warning to those with ulterior motives.
However, the "Holy Judges" will not stay any longer. They will soon leave Red Maple City and return to Sina City.
As for the series of follow-ups such as "who will take over the position of 'Lord of Red Maple City'", [Supreme] Grand Arbitrator Landauer has other arrangements.
This is completely a "secular" matter. The Holy Judges of [Glory] have no right to intervene and are not interested in it.
…
Red Maple City, Glorious Church.
The Holy Judges packed their luggage for the return trip, and the presiding pastor, Colen, saw them out of the church door.
"Thank you for your help, Colen." Anthony patted Colen's shoulder, "May you be bathed in the holy light forever. The church will send someone in a few days to deliver you the holy reward you deserve."
Coren nodded in thanks, feeling a little scared inside.
He only felt that in this task of "adjudicating heresy", he seemed to have only taken a serious step...
But Coren didn't say much, he just watched as the "Holy Judges" walked onto the main street of Red Maple City and disappeared at the end of the field of vision.
…
Three days later.
The Holy Judge's carriage passed through the jagged mountains and returned to the city of Sina.
Anthony took Luo Xiu, Connor and Pamier and immediately went to the room in the Holy Inquisition where "Priest" Leonard handled matters.
When the "Holy Judges" pushed in the door, Leonard watched everyone return with a subtle smile on his face.
"It seems that you have done a good job in judging those heretics."
Leonard said, pushing aside the small mountain of files he was working on, and looked at Anthony.
"You all should leave first." Anthony said to Luo Xiu and other members of the Holy Inquisition, "Next, I will report to the priest alone."
…
It is the tradition of the "Holy Judge" of the church in Sina City to bring all the people to see the priest, and then Anthony will report to him alone.
The purpose is for Leonard to confirm that all members are alive, or to confirm who died during the mission.
This time, all members of the "Judgment of Heretics" survived, and it can be seen that the old priest is quite happy.
Luo Xiu, Connor and Pamier then left the "Holy Judgment" and parted in the church atrium courtyard.
They each have their own itinerary after returning to Sina City.
Luo Xiu went directly to Triumph Square, turned a street and came to the "White Antelope Hotel".
In the Bailing Hotel, when the blond girl with freckles on duty saw Luo Xiu entering the hotel, her face was filled with excitement.
"Ah! It's you!" The blonde girl greeted with a smile, "Are you back from your trip? The room reserved for you has been cleaned for you."
"Thank you." Luo Xiu nodded and took the room key from the front desk.
But he did not enter the room immediately. Instead, he went to the hotel bathroom and locked the door. Then he summoned the "Misty Raven" and separated the fog shadow to detect the room.
After confirming that no one was there, he returned to the original room and locked the door. At this time, Luo Xiu had begun to think about another very important thing in his mind.
——About Anthony’s ongoing “report”!
Anthony, he will definitely tell Priest Leonard about the "Holy Flame Wolf", and Priest Leonard will definitely ask Luo Xiu to meet him soon and ask him in detail." "Contracted Holy Beast".
For Luo Xiu, this is both a rare opportunity and a deadly trap.
Although Anthony, who has regarded Luo Xiu as a true teammate, will not use "spiritual pressure" to question him again.
However, if he is further valued by the church and even the "holy court".
What he is about to face is a question from a higher level, a more powerful transcendent!
Luo Xiu's eyes were dim. He leaned on the edge of the bed and thought. At the same time, he reached into his arms and took out a prop that had never been used before.
He was ready to rely on this prop to hide everything.
If he can successfully pass the upcoming cross-examination, what will greet him will be the greatest degree of resource tilt and support from the entire "Church" and even the "Holy Court".
…
In Priest Leonard's room.
Anthony sat opposite Leonard, telling Leonard the process of completing the task of "adjudicating heresy" in Red Maple City.
"I didn't expect..." Leonard pondered, "This mission turned out to be a trap set by the city lord of Red Maple City and the heretics of the Priory."
"Yes." Anthony nodded, his face a little heavy, "We almost died there."
"Although I know the [lost] pagans, they do master incredible rituals and secret techniques..."
Leonard sighed, "But...the Killing Prison Cage, they actually came up with such a thing."
"However, fortunately, you still successfully completed the task of judging, and all of you came back safely without landing."
Leonard said happily, "You did a good job, Anthony. This is not only the blessing of Xu Mo, but also your contribution."
"...But it's not my fault."
Listening to Leonard's relief, Anthony did not show any joy, but said with some shame: "The reason why this task of 'adjudicating heresy' can be successfully completed is because Luo Xiu... …”
"It was he who discovered Lodiv's conspiracy and perfectly exposed all the enemy's plans and traps."
"Luo Xiu?" Leonard's tone was a little surprised, "Luo Xiu Carlos?"
"Yes, it's him." Anthony nodded, "Master Priest, he is the young priest you are very optimistic about... I sincerely feel that your vision is really vicious and your judgment is quite correct."
Priest Leonard nodded. The expression on his face was only surprised for a moment, and then returned to indifferent.
"That's right...I can indeed see that he is no ordinary priest."
Leonard praised, "Unexpectedly, he also has extraordinary wisdom."
"Master Priest."
Anthony organized his words and continued to say to Priest Leonard:
"It's not just that...Roseux Carlos, he summoned the 'Golden Sacred Beast' while cooperating to fight the pagans."
"Yeah, it should be like——"
Leonard nodded, but before he could finish what he usually blurted out, the expression on his face was replaced by strong shock.
"What did you say? Holy beast?"
Leonard said loudly: "You said Luo Xiu, he, he summoned the holy beast?"
"Yes, Master Priest."
Anthony said slowly, "Roseux Carlos, he is the only priest among all the priests below the fourth level of destiny in the church who has made a contract with the 'Holy Beast'..."
"I think that Rossiu Carlos may be a 'son of brilliance' that is rare to see in fifty or even a hundred years among the priests of our church in Sina City."
"He has the potential to become the new bishop of the Church of Sina City."
"He may even become the future authority holder of the Holy Court and the Pope."
