Angel on earth

Severin seemed to have been waiting for him.

The two exchanged good mornings, and Severin followed slowly, seeing him out.

At four o'clock in the early summer, the sky had already turned pale. Mikhail stared fixedly at the dark mountains in the distance, as if he had seen the reflection of a sharp blade on the tower on the top of the mountain.He turned away and said in a low voice:

"I'm sorry, Bishop Severin. I just... don't know what to do.

"When I was a child, I thought I had grown up, and I thought I had the purest faith and the strongest power in the world, and no enemy could stop me. But I made a mistake. Who is my enemy? Is it my friend? Am I doing things for God the Father, or am I fighting for the powers of the world? When I advance, the blood of the innocent is shed; when I retreat, strangers die.

"I don't understand, but I do understand one thing...the world itself hasn't changed, the people around me just respond differently according to my choices. But it shouldn't be like this, Bishop Severin. No one deserves to suffer." Bullying, I don’t think it’s a funny thing to save people; it’s even worse if you can’t save them, because that shows how rampant the evil in the world has become.

"It is true that we came here to atone for our sins. But the more I walk in the secular world, the less I believe in the kingdom of heaven. As long as human beings gather together, there will be oppression, prejudice, and disputes. Because people are different, but everyone Some people are not willing to tolerate the differences of others, but instead want to expand 'difference' into 'inequality', prejudice and class follow. But this does not mean that there are many bad people. Most of the rich people in the world are like the Martins, He is a person who loves his family and life, scolds the laziness of the poor and donates [-]% of his property to the church to help the poor. He has a soft and kind heart; many poor people in the world are like Peter, panicked and desperate because of being oppressed, People who complain to me and Maria but still work hard to live. So does the heaven on earth really exist? There is enough kindness here, but hatred and evil are always more powerful."

Severin said with the hoarse voice unique to the old man: "That's why we have to look forward to the kingdom of heaven. Only God the Father knows. Ordinary people don't talk about imagination, even if they see it, they can't understand it."

Mikhail came back to his senses, looked down at him, but there was no emotion on his face, and there was only serious puzzlement in his voice:

"So, did I reject Him out of selfishness? Did I become an enemy of Aaron because I hated his enemies? Maybe He just needed this opportunity to come down from me to cleanse the Holy See and save this fallen world again. How can Isabella be His opponent? How can Micah be suitable for me? No matter how strong Micah is, he is still a mortal, and Aaron is only a mortal who has withstood the Holy Grail. I am Mikhail."

A gentle, long wind blows mightily across the flat and open fields, rustling the broad leaves of the grass and vines like waves.

The wind in the morning was quite cold, but the old man who only wore a robe did not tremble, but raised his cloudy eyes and said:

"I don't know if I have the right to say this to you, but since you have chosen to conceal your identity, then let me presume, Brother Mikhail."

Mikhail fell silent.Severin took him as acquiesced, raised his hand, and drew a mark on his forehead with water.

"Go in peace, my child. May the Father bless you!"

Mikhail hugged him.The old man slapped his back with withered brown hands and said:

"Vengeance is mine, and I will repay."

The boy straightened up, raised his hands high, saluted the failed regional bishop, turned around and walked through the trails and swaying vineyards, towards the city built on the distant hill.

He hesitated and walked slowly, but he still passed through half of Oak City and arrived at the top of the mountain around ten o'clock.

The hills to the north of Oak City are crowded together, with ups and downs. Apart from the prosperous area on the top, there are also a few new-style buildings scattered here and there, either relatives of the Brown family, or new houses built by the men of the Brown family for pleasure.

The highest place in the middle of the mountain stands the ancient Brown Castle, and the family corridor is in the center of Brown Castle, with suspension bridges and stone stairs extending in all directions leading to the town hall, new church, court and stables distributed in the four corners of the castle.When the king issued a new decree, the Brown family responded positively and offered to fund the construction of the city hall and elect officials. For this, Mr. Brown received a special king's medal.Of course, he didn't know that Aerys' king's medal was like a child's toy, showing off everywhere, and because of this, he had a very unpleasant fight with his eldest son who was studying in the capital.

A Brown Castle occupies nearly a quarter of the place, and the rest of the houses forming streets on the top of the hill are not stingy, but add some vitality to this old monster with a life span of 500 years.

Most of those houses belonged to Bartholomew's family. The old Bartholomew was not called Bartholomew, but a priest from the province of Akwa. Because of corruption, he ran away overnight with money, and later used this money The stolen money made a big business, married a young and beautiful wife, gave birth to two sons and three daughters, and countless illegitimate children.He rescued the young Coster Brown on the way to escort the goods. The crisis of life did not teach Coster a lesson, but made him marry the benefactor's little daughter.

After Priest Gray succeeded the Archbishop of Iris and the head of the exorcist branch of the Kingdom of Iris, he stepped up his crackdown on apostates, corrupt criminals and law-breaking clergy. , so he ran to Oak City with his wife, daughter and most of his property in the name of pension.Coster Brown knows how to be polite and honest to rich people like himself. He didn't bully his father-in-law's family. He also managed the wine business in Oak City with great vigor. The price of "White Queen" alone has doubled several times in the past few years. Fan.

Mikhail didn't know this, but Delgado did.He was the old Bartholomew's distant nephew, and he knew how much the old man wanted the palm-sized church in the city.Although he scolded the old man for putting on a show in private, on the surface he was still conscientious and happy doing the work of plundering property. He went out for a walk early in the morning and waited on the stone steps.

At about 10:30, he saw the young man in the smock.

Mikhail stepped onto the last step with "Brilliant Girl" on his back, and said politely, "Good morning, Mr. Delgado."

Delgado choked on the words that came to his lips, and realized that he was saying in a daze, "Good morning."

Mikhail nodded and stopped talking.Delgado felt that he had been set aside, and said angrily: "What are you doing? I came to welcome you with good intentions. I have to tell you that Master Jules will hear the case today. Don't talk nonsense!"

"What does it matter to you what I said to him?" Mikhail asked earnestly.

Delgado muttered, after all, this is the business he took, then waved his hand and said, "It's not bad for you."

"Don't you want me to be fined for talking nonsense?" Mikhail asked innocently.

"Bah! How could I do such a lowly thing!" Delgado scolded, "What's more, the young master has a bad temper, so don't implicate us if you seek death yourself! ——I have already reported the details of the case, Stranger, don't fool us with fake products, the young master has just returned from studying in the capital!"

"After talking for a long time," Mikhail asked, "who is the 'Master Jules' you are talking about?"

Delgado, who was leading the way, was stunned for a moment: "Didn't they tell you? ——That's right, the young master just came back yesterday, and not many people knew... Well, I didn't say anything bad, so they have a conscience."

Mikhail was noncommittal to his words, and the blond man continued to explain: "Master Jules is the eldest son of Master Brown, and he will inherit the family business in the future."

Mikhail understood: "Well, I understand. Your future master."

Delgado clicked his tongue, and felt that the man's death was approaching, so there was no need to care so much, so he led him all the way into Brown's Castle.The guards in full armor showed sympathy when they learned that the little giant was here to pay off the debt, but they turned into greed after he left.

The building of the city hall was very close to the gate. Mikhail took off the cloth bag and hugged it in his arms. After following Delgado into the trial court, several citizens who watched the excitement came one after another. A moment later, Jules Brown, disheveled and disheveled, was ushered in.

The young man's face was thin, with a cynical and contemptuous look on his face. His heavy black boots were still stained with blood. He didn't know which short-sighted guy he just kicked.He hurried across the hall, took a seat on the judge's bench, and slapped his foot on the table. The maid who had just opened the chair for him immediately stepped forward to polish his shoes with the cloth from her chest.When the young man came over, he gave Mikhail a strange look. At this time, he felt that the maid was blocking his view, and stepped on her with the heel of his shoe. She was not dissatisfied at all, and stuck out her tongue with a smile.

Only then did Jules Brown look at Mikhail comfortably: "Come to the end, everyone is waiting to go back to have lunch. ——Why don't you kneel, stranger?"

"I'm not your subject, I just passed by here." Mikhail replied.

"Okay." Master Jules muttered. Anyway, as long as he is a human being, he will kneel down one day. "I have heard what happened from Delgado. Do you have any objections?"

"If you're talking about repaying debts on behalf of Bell's carpenters and the Ivy Church, then no," said Mikhail politely.

The young man became a little interested, put his feet down, and asked, "Why don't you ask how much they owe me?"

The maid coughed softly, indicating that the young master is not dead yet.Jules glared at her unhappily, then turned back to look at Mikhail, thankful that the Inquisition Chamber was designed after the church, and he sat higher than Mikhail.

"So, how much is there in total?" Mikhail replied, "I have brought enough value in compensation."

Zhu Er rolled his eyes, pressed his hands, and said with a smile, "Don't be in a hurry. Well, I heard that you also cut down my tree?"

"Yes, a pine tree and a cypress tree, to make a coffin for my wife."

"Is your wife really dead?"

"No."
