Chapter 396 Tribulation Field

"Hawkins, why are you out here, old man? What are you carrying in the basket?"

"You rotten egg, didn't you see that I still have a child riding on my neck? Saint, please have mercy on me. I can't bear to let him see such a bloody and cruel scene. Throwing a few rotten eggs is enough to show my respect for the Holy See."

In the alleys of Lombardy, two middle-aged men squeezed through the crowded crowd and struggled to walk towards the central square. A teenager sat on one of them's neck, with clear snot on his face and a rotten apple in his hand.

The other one even had a family with him, including his wife and three girls.

"You are too soft-hearted. The Holy See's punishment of those vicious criminals is a good time to educate the children and let them see the dark side of the world and the majestic thunder of the Saint."

"Do you know where the parade starts? If you get it wrong, it's all over. If the person being tried gets stoned to death halfway through, our day will be in vain."

"The stone arch bridge in the south! You can't stump me on that. I wanted to go to old Pawlenty's. He has a shop down the street, but when I found him yesterday, what do you think the old guy said?"

"what did he say?"

"He asked me for three silver coins! This money-obsessed old man even said this was a friendly price. He usually asks for five silver coins from people he doesn't know!"

"When will the Saint punish these greedy misers? Oh, old friend, who is the one being punished in the parade today? Do you know?"

"I don't know. Anyway, I know it's an order from the Holy See. It must be a great noble or a high-ranking clergyman. Anyway, it's going to be a good show.

Don't you know?"

"Of course I don't know, I'm just here to take the kids and throw rotten eggs!"

On Lombard Street, crowds filled the alleys, big and small, making them impenetrable to the wind and rain. At every other intersection, there was a sheriff waving a short stick to maintain order, but even this could not stop people's passion to watch the excitement.

The buildings on both sides of the street were also crowded with people. The windows on the second and third floors were all open. Rich families would set up a small table with pre-decanted red wine and flowers on it. Of course, most of the tables also had a basket of stones.

The lives of poor families are much simpler. Most balconies are just crowded with people. Young people whistle and talk big, while old people lean on their crutches and add a few "life mottos" that they are proud of from time to time.

"My fellow villagers, don't believe in any sect, just believe in Sahagun. See, this is the fate of those who carry the same weight behind them."

"frame!"

"Look everyone, he was a living person before, but now he has become like this."

"frame!"

On the street, the protagonists of the Holy Decision Parade arrived late. Haversham had a solemn expression on his face. He walked at the front with his chest puffed out and a small gong in his hand, which he struck every time he shouted.

Following behind was Alpia, who was unlucky. He was barefoot, wearing only shorts, and carrying a companion who had been transformed into a "tree man" by the little tiger on his back.

He didn't want to leave at first, but he couldn't resist Bill behind him, whipping him!
Jacob next to me was pulling a wooden cart, and his meaning was very clear: if you don’t want to walk, we will pull you away!

Liu Yonglu and several others were sitting in the carriage following behind, watching through the curtains. They should have let Alpia call out the orders himself, but Alpia was too tight-lipped, so they had to let Haversson do it for them.

"frame!"

"The Sahagun sect has done all kinds of bad things. Not only have they spread lies to confuse people, but they have also used evil witchcraft to harm people!"

With every word Harverson said, Alpia's face became uglier. The veins on his forehead bulged, and his hands tightly grasped the hemp rope that tied the tree man. He was tongue-tied and tried desperately to shout and stop it. But Millitang had given him a mute potion beforehand, so even though Alpia was so anxious that he foamed at the mouth, he still couldn't make a sound.

"boom!"

As Haversson promoted the game vigorously, the crowd cheered one after another!

It turned out that he was a heretic recognized by the Holy See, so there was nothing to worry about. Stones, rotten eggs, and rotten vegetable leaves were thrown at Alpia as if they were free.

"You asked me to feed him a mute drug. What if he gives in halfway and wants to reveal the mastermind behind this?"

In the carriage, Millitan closed the book in her hand. She still hadn't figured out the clues about Bishop Jone. Some clues now pointed the final puzzle to the Holy See, but it would take time to figure out where Jone had hidden it.

"Is it important? The key is to..."

Liu Yonglu originally wanted to say, "We must complete the work assigned by the Saint Lady with quality and quantity guaranteed," but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

He has figured out Millie Tang's recent situation. Never mention the old Saint in front of her, or she will get angry!

"The key is to destroy the reputation of the Sahagun faction."

"Universe brand cigarettes, Universe brand cigarettes! Sir, do you want to contribute a little to the poor people of the Western Continent by bathing in the gospel of the Saint?"

The streets were bustling with people shouting and people making noises. There were also many small vendors carrying large wooden boxes and wandering around the streets selling cigarettes.

Alfonso was really efficient. The cigarettes ready for sale in the warehouse were all ready-made. He packaged them overnight and asked the workers to stop their work and work overtime. Finally, he produced the first batch of "Cosmic Brand Cigarettes" before the Saint Decision parade.

Today was the day of the Saint's Parade, and Alfonso had made the right bet. The enthusiasm of the people had already been ignited by Haversson's highly inflammatory shouts, and they all paid for Universe cigarettes.

The gong that Liu Yonglu prepared for Haverson was also very useful. Every time he struck it, the crowd would hold their breath, as if accumulating dissatisfaction in their hearts. When Haverson finished a sentence, there would be thunderous cheers!

But just as the parade passed the city hall of Lombardy and was about to enter the port area, seven or eight people suddenly walked out of the alley.

These people, both men and women, were all wearing priestly robes, but the robes were neither the white robes commonly worn by Saint Mary priests nor the black robes commonly worn by pagans. Instead, they were linen robes made of brown linen.

"Sahagunites!"

There were some curious and well-informed citizens who recognized the identities of several people.

The Sahagunites often wear brown linen robes. According to them, the Holy See wears white robes and regards himself as the shepherd of the Saint, but most of what they do are arrogant and presumptuous. They are no longer the spokespersons of good will, but have become evil lackeys who exploit the people.

As for himself, he wore a brown linen robe, intending to be a humble guide of the gods' will. When the gods buried under the truth would appear in the world, they would take off their robes and return to the purest original truth.

Seeing that the Sahagun faction dared to show up openly... this is considered a robbery.

The judges who escorted the saints through the streets and the sheriffs who followed their orders immediately became nervous and surrounded the seven or eight people with weapons in hand.

"We are not here to start a war with the Holy See today!"

The bearded leader raised his hand fearlessly, his face covered in dust, his expression calm and composed:
"I wonder if this Holy Decision parade was the idea of ​​Archbishop Kosander? Or was it the idea of ​​the saints?
Whoever you are, please come out, I have something to say!"
