Chapter 44: Rebellion and separation
The unconscious Grandy was gradually awakened by the severe pain spreading in her mouth. He reluctantly opened his heavy eyelids, roared wildly, and spat at him, and the frantic people appeared in front of him. In an instant, Grandi woke up. Only then did he suddenly realize that his hands and feet had been firmly tied to the wooden sticks. At this time, he looked back and forth in shock, and immediately saw that he was tied to a wooden cross, and the soles of his feet were all covered with dry wood.
The tide of civilians around him spat at him, threw rubbish, and obscene remarks were heard from time to time. When some friendly friends saw Grandi waking up, they immediately shouted angrily: "Grandi, I misjudged you! You actually killed the Prad family for gold coins and the ironworks! Still using such evil black magic! Bah!"
"This old bastard, I have long thought that he is not a good person. Don't show mercy, just throw whatever you have!" The surrounding civilians immediately picked up stones from the ground, threw them hard at Grandi's body, and immediately threw them away. The latter hit his forehead with blood flowing out.
Only then did Grandi notice that this was Nurba's square, and almost all the Nurba people were here. Even his old friends were hiding in the corner and watching all this with cold eyes. He wanted to open his mouth to explain, but found that he could only moan.
The horrific memory of Paladin stuffing red-hot coals into his own mouth immediately came to mind! Suddenly, his heart became cold. Even the bleeding wound on his forehead and the saliva staining his body could not cover up the cold feeling deep in his heart. He played. Even the ability to make a final argument was taken away by the priest.
Standing on the high platform of the square, Paladin looked at Grandy who woke up with despairing and empty eyes. He smiled secretly, then showed a sacred, gentle and dignified face and shouted loudly: "Everyone, please stop! Please listen to what I have to say!"
The boiling people below immediately looked up and saw Paladin, and immediately threw down the stones in their hands. Some old people even said with respect: "Ah, Father. Thank you for uncovering this despicable bastard. If you have any other instructions, we will definitely I will work hard to help you achieve it." Upon hearing this, the people around him immediately nodded in agreement, looking at Paladin with friendly and close eyes.
Paladin smiled and bowed to the people, and said slowly in an emotional tone: "Grandy has lived in Nurba for far longer than me. Although I am still young, I can also see that Grandy Dee is not a bad person. He opened a factory, but he also took care of the workers who worked hard every day. He loved his daughter, his wife, and helped the weak, which really makes me, a priest of the Holy See, deeply ashamed."
Having said this, the people below were still listening to his words attentively. Paladin laughed sinisterly because of the unknown, and then said with a sad look: "But even so, it cannot hide that Grandi's eyes were covered by darkness. Doing such a heartbreaking thing. Our good friends and good elders, the Prader family, together with the child who can't speak. Under Grandy's evil black magic and crazy thoughts, returned to God. Embrace. May we be here to pray for them. Amen.”
The people below immediately grasped their fists with their hands and prayed devoutly. There were also some people who were close friends with the Prad family and shed tears silently. At this time, Kalech, who was standing next to him with several guards, became more solemn: "Did this kid rule the people of Nurba in less than a month after arriving?"
After half a minute, Paladin pretended to wipe away the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with a serious attitude: "Grandi committed such a felony, what should you do!" "Burn him, burn him, burn him." Kill him!"
The people below waved their arms passionately, wanting to burn this Grandi to death immediately. After listening to these words, Grandi's eyes were glassy and he was completely in despair. He still can't figure it out. He was just here to test and threaten the priest and let him know about his powerful actions. How could it develop to this point? In a corner far away from the edge of the crowd, there were several big local businessmen commanding Grandi, Nari, Qila, and Doroner. He was staring angrily at Paladin on the stage and whispered:
"This boy is so arrogant! Now he dares to execute our people openly! He doesn't take us seriously at all! Qila, don't you know the bishop of this diocese? Ask him to come forward to control this ungrateful young man. The old man with a golden beard, who was called Kira, sighed feebly: "Nari, you said we know each other? It can only be said that we know each other. Strictly speaking, it is me who flatters him. He doesn't even think about it. Pay attention to me. Strictly speaking, this Paladin is his subordinate, and I am going to complain to his subordinates in front of him? I don’t want to do business anymore?”
At this time, Doren'er, the oldest man with gray hair, spoke: "This kid is too arrogant and arrogant. When tomorrow morning, I will go to Baron Fit and ask him to come forward and explain to the count for us. Let this The boy also knows how powerful he is." The three old men planned secretly, but Paladin glanced at Kalec and said: "Grandy committed a serious crime, but his wife and daughter are innocent."
After saying that, he waved his hand and Kalechi immediately winked, and several guards immediately brought up Grandy's wife and his dazed daughter who were in a daze. When Grandi, who was tied to the stake, saw his relatives, he immediately struggled to say something, but his tongue and throat were severely damaged and he could not utter a word at all. If you look carefully at the shape of his mouth, you can understand the word he keeps repeating: "Run away!"
The crowd below looked at the mother and daughter, and a feeling of pity for the weak suddenly spread. Paladin turned his head and stared at Grandi's wife, who looked ordinary and had red hair, and said: "Madam, you also know what your husband has done. Is there anything you want to say to him?"
The wife timidly raised her head, looked at the nervous Grandi, and then looked at the guard holding the sword at his waist. She remembered what Paladin said to her in private not long ago: "Your husband killed someone and tried to kill someone." Me! If you want to survive, there is only one way to go. That is to completely cut off the relationship with Grandi! Otherwise, you and your husband will be burned together! Even your daughter is no exception! "
Thinking of these words, my wife's desire to survive finally took over. With tears of shame in his eyes, he blurted out: "Grandy, I have nothing to do with you anymore! Your daughter will no longer be your daughter!"
At this moment, Grandi was heartbroken. His eyes that were originally filled with a little bit of hope were empty for a moment, and he slowly lowered his head, tears falling from his collar. When Paladin saw that the matter was done, he immediately smiled gently and said: "You did a good job." But
The wife did not dare to look directly into the eyes of the young priest. In her opinion, the priest's eyes were like blades, cutting her husband open over and over again. Paladin smiled indifferently, suddenly squatted down and looked at the confused little girl in front of him and said, "What's your name?"
"My, my name is Fanny." Paladin nodded sunnyly, took out a candy from his pocket and gave it to Fanny and said, "Brother gives you candy. You have to tell brother something, okay?" Fanny seemed like Thinking of something, he immediately took the candy happily and nodded happily. At this moment, the scared wife suddenly felt something was wrong. But I can't say there's anything wrong with it.
Paladin said in a gentle voice: "Your father has done something bad and is going to be burned. Do you want him to be burned?" At this moment, the people in the square immediately listened. But I saw and heard this young girl nodding her head happily and innocently: "Burn, burn, burn quickly!"
PS: I actually forgot to write down the hierarchy of the Holy See. It's my fault... But isn't the strength of the protagonist very clear? Three hundred elements. The combat effectiveness is twice as strong, that is, six hundred. There are a thousand great magicians. That is, under the great magician. I thought I would understand this without writing it down, but I didn’t expect that I still need to write it down?
