Chapter 848 Jasper Crystal Ball

When Tang En and others first set foot on the southern land, a certain team had just returned from the north and was heading towards the hinterland of the south, just as Michu said.

This is a temple escort team. The large group of holy light knights are alert to clear the way, and the small group of robed mages are always holding their staffs. Coupled with the faint terrifying fluctuations surrounding more than ten large carriages, the lineup can be called luxurious.

As for the criminals being escorted, they were not evil heretics who were full of evil and notorious. But their own people not long ago. Even one of the criminals was the most respected and admired object of these light knights traveling with the team...

Probably because they were worried about being attacked, this extremely vigilant temple team was not very fast. In the evening, they failed to reach the next town, so they camped and rested in the wild.

In the evening, around several dim tents, the knights of light who kept vigil lit piles of bonfires and looked around cautiously from time to time. The atmosphere was slightly depressing. In fact, if you look carefully at the corner of their eyes, you will know that the focus of their eyes is not on the surrounding environment, but on a small tent not far away, with complicated expressions...

After a while, beside the campfire, a hesitant voice finally broke the silence, and asked in a slightly dazed manner, "Do you think...that gentleman really committed such a crime?"

The name of the Lord was not mentioned, but the knights surrounding the campfire certainly knew it. After a while, someone continued: "It should be true. Many adults have said so..."

"I don't believe it!" The young knight who spoke first looked slightly excited. "A few years ago, when I was a second-level knight, I went on a mission with you. I clearly remember your attitude towards those evil heretics. More to come. He killed several heretical masters on the spot! How could he suddenly collude with the evil heretic that he hated most before?"

"I don't want to believe it either. But this is the fact now..."

"Huh. It's not all what the adults said..."

"Silence!" Just when the young knight was feeling indignant, the middle-aged knight opposite suddenly flashed his eyes and shouted in a low voice. Then he stood up quickly and faced the black-robed figure walking from the shadows not far away. , bowed and saluted, "Lord Harveys."

"I've seen the Lord Deacon of the Tribunal." The other knights saw this and quickly stood up to salute.

"Yeah." The figure in black robe approached. He is a stern old man with a slightly dark complexion and a rigid expression, like a black rock that has not been weathered.

Passing by the bonfire, he paused for a moment and said in a cold voice, "Watch the night well. Don't say what you shouldn't say, and don't mind what you shouldn't." After saying that, he walked straight to the small dim tent not far away. Obviously, the conversation between the knights just now had reached his ears.

"Yes, sir!" Xu Shi's trial court had always had great prestige, even though it was a cold winter night. But when several knights heard this, their foreheads were instantly covered with cold sweat, and they replied with trembling voices.

An imperceptible snort. Harveys, who walked to the tent door, naturally had no time to pay attention to these low-level knights. He stretched out his hand to lift the curtain and stepped in.

The tent was small and the layout was simple, with a simple small table, a dim butter lamp, a bowl of water, and a straight figure sitting cross-legged behind the table, that's all.

Although he is a prisoner, this man does not have any external shackles or ropes on him. Of course, those things are of no use to her...

"How do you think about it, Lord Xia Wei'an?" Harveys stopped a few feet away from the wooden table and asked quietly.

There was no response, nor did he raise his head, as if he was disdainful. However, Harveys was not surprised and continued: "Actually, you are really lucky. This time the temple will conduct a comprehensive purge of you group of Puritans who caused civil strife. This decision is a foregone conclusion. As long as you are caught, eight or nine times out of ten you will be You have to accept God's sanction, suffer the punishment of fire, and your soul is not allowed to return to Father God's paradise... And you, who are the most guilty, have already been listed at the top of the list that must be purged. But you are lucky, the child of Archbishop Simon is interested in you You are willing to come forward to vouch for me and find me to say please... To be honest, this can be regarded as the kindness of Father God, what do you think?"

"I feel...disgusting!" The slightly weak tone conveyed an unshakable iron will, and he slowly raised his head, his movements seemed to be slow due to effort, his face was pale, his fine-lined lips were dry and tight, and only a pair of firm eyes could be seen. Shining, extremely bright.

It is indeed one of the twelve sacred knight captains of the temple, Xia Wei'an, who is known as the flower of knights!

"Well, I feel disgusting too." Nodding, Harris's stern face did not change at all, "Everyone should be equal before divine punishment. But because of your beautiful face, you have a chance to escape punishment. .I have to say that this is a great irony for my responsibilities!"

"I'm not guilty." Xia Wei'an said seriously with her lips slightly pursed.

"That's not what you have the final say, and in my opinion, Master Xia Wei'an is indeed guilty of serious crimes." Harris said rigidly and calmly, "I have heard about some of your actions. I thought I was on the side of the believers, but... You have betrayed the will of God, messed up the external reputation of the temple, and joined forces with the Puritans to create chaos inside the temple... From this perspective, you are indeed no different from an evil heretic. And..."

This means that if you hold different positions, your opinions will not be the same, and there is almost no possibility of reconciling this contradiction.

Taking a step forward, Harris took out a crystal ball with a faint green light from his arms and placed it on the wooden table. "Sir Xavian must know this thing. Yes, this is to identify whether a woman is perfect." The magic prop, the jasper crystal ball.”

Xia Wei'an's body tightened suddenly when she saw this. Of course she knew this thing, and don't listen to the elegant name of this magic prop. In fact, it was a prop made by a dark mage. The materials for casting some evil spells are extremely weird, and even require the use of female blood or something, and this requires this thing to identify... Under Xia Wei'an's gun, there are countless evil heretics, so they are naturally no strangers to such things.

He raised his head, his eyes as sharp as daggers, and stared at Harveys. It can be seen that if there is still some strength left, Xia Wei'an will immediately wave away the jasper crystal ball. It's a pity that she doesn't have it, and she can't have it. With her strength, Harveys might not dare to get close to her if she didn't have a perfect way to restrain her.

"You don't have to look at me like that. You know, given my responsibility, it's not difficult to find this thing... Or are you nervous?" Leaning over, squinting at each other, Harveys pointed at the table. Crystal ball, "Look, it doesn't react at all. Why? The Flower of Knight, which claims to devote its body and mind completely to the glory of God the Father, cannot make the jasper crystal ball emit the red light it deserves to sense the perfect body... Interesting ! Can you explain it, Sir Xavian?"

Xia Wei'an was silent, looking dazed.

Harris continued: "As far as I know, Master Xia Wei'an has no lover. And with your popularity, it is impossible for the lover to live hidden in the temple... Then, Master Xia Wei'an, who has an outstanding reputation, will fight against the evil There is basic evidence for heretics colluding, isn’t it?”

This speculation is a bit nonsense. Could it be that if he is not a member of the temple, he will be an evil heretic? But Xia Wei'an couldn't argue with this. What could she say? Were you forced...?

"Of course, this chain of evidence is very fragile and cannot withstand scrutiny. But now the situation has changed..." Straightening up, Harveys shook his head and said, "I just received the news not long ago that your Excellency will not be sent to the temple. There will always be a trial, and in a certain city in Bran, in front of thousands of people, you will directly accept the divine punishment of fire."

After a pause, he looked at Xia Wei'an, who was frowning slightly, and continued, "Is it strange? I'm surprised too. This does not conform to the usual trial process. I heard that it was the intention of a certain nobleman in King Bran's court. Well, it seems Sir, you have offended a lot of people. They are so impatient to kill you... In short, there is no rejection from the Temple Association, and the outcome of Sir is determined. And in order to create an atmosphere of judgment in front of thousands of people, I need to publicly publicize your responsibilities recently. For example, causing trouble in the temple, or colluding with evil heretics in private regardless of my status as a clergyman, or even degenerating into a prostitute..."

He spread his hands and said, "Look, it's that simple. The evidence that you are not perfect is now solid."

Xia Wei'an pursed her lips and did not retort, nor did she get excited to avenge her. Xia Wei'an continued to lower her head in silence, as if she was thinking about something.

She was not thinking about who was eager to kill her, but felt a little regretful. She had originally planned to argue with the Pope in the court of justice. She really wanted to know whether she was wrong or whether it was the temple's decision. Wrong...but alas, the Temple always seemed and intended to give her this chance.

Harveys glanced over and thought that the sad look on Xia Wei'an's face was that he was regretting his fate. A hint of joy flashed in his eyes, giving him a little more confidence in his next persuasion.

"Of course, that's the same sentence. Sir, you are really lucky to have met someone who can save your fate. Oh, of course this does not refer to those traitors such as Owens who are still trying to rescue you and escape. Although they successfully destroyed Return directly to the long-distance teleportation array of the Temple Association, but that's all. This is not the chaotic north. No matter what their next plan is, they will not succeed... Your Excellency is lucky to have met me and Sai. The Archbishop’s child.”

"I know that you are not perfect, and I am the only one at the moment. I will not let this news out, let alone tell it to Archbishop Simon's children. So now, as long as you nod in agreement, Archbishop Simon will intervene. As an excuse for this, he will keep his future grandson-in-law. And you, my lord, will still be one of the twelve holy knight captains and a knight with a high reputation!"

I will also go one step further and become the vice-president who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people in the trial court...

After a pause, he silently added the last sentence in his mind. Thinking of Archbishop Simon's implicit hint when he came, Harveys couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and for the first time a few scary smiles appeared on his rigid face, and then asked: " I say this, sir, do you understand?"

"I understand..." Xia Wei'an raised her head with squinted eyes, looking at Harveys who could hardly hide his excitement, and curled his lips into a mocking arc, "You make me feel - even more disgusting!"
