Chapter 187 Isca Is Very Tired of Being Careless

"These are new breads! Hey, hurry up and get us more food."

"You said that before, right? There are some weird marks on the bread and silver coins you gave us. Look clearly...there are none of these."

"..."

Although these civilians once again placed bread and silver coins in front of themselves, although these were not the ones they had marked before.

but……

"But these breads... weren't the ones you robbed, were they?"

As the priest said this, he looked very sighing and looked at the refugees who had put on clean clothes.

It was very obvious that the eyes of these refugees who had been bandits had regained their clarity at this moment.

"I exchanged bread for silver coins, exchanged silver coins for bread... while filling my stomach, I changed my life to what it was before."

The priest did not hesitate to tell what these civilians were doing, causing cold sweat to break out on their foreheads.

Cheating is ultimately bad behavior.

But the priest can understand the behavior of these people, because... they are unwilling to plunder or fight.

Rather than intercepting and killing nobles who had no chance at all and robbing other refugees of their resources, they were more willing to take risks and deceive themselves.

Again……

Today's unruly people are really.

…

"Then...our cooperation is terminated."

The priest who said this gently raised his hand. When the refugees retreated cautiously, it was beyond their expectations.

What emerged from his hands was not the holy light that was going to kill them, but some bread... yes, some bread.

"These are gifts to you."

The priest who said this quietly looked at the late morning sky and the civilians who did not dare to act rashly because of the abnormal situation.

"For you, it probably doesn't matter what the light is, nor does it matter what the orthodox white dove is? Then for you, the Holy Kingdom may be a good place to go."

Although he is clearly a priest of the Theocracy (Holy Kingdom of White Dove, Holy Kingdom), the words of this priest do not seem to be very fond of his country.

Or on the contrary, that is a worse choice.

"The Holy Kingdom, the Kingdom, and the Anaconda Forest...are just the same thing."

As if speaking to himself, and as if reminding these refugees, the priest said simply while leaving a trace of his back.

"Hmm, delicious bread."

"He turned out to be a good man...that priest."

"You say you don't want it, but it's actually very good to us..."

"That's right!"

"He just looks a bit ugly, with a square face."

"Yeah, like square bricks."

"..."

Listening to the voice behind him, the priest's face was a little distorted. He turned around and roared: "Do you understand this is the Chinese character for face? This is a symbol of justice and integrity!"

But in response, the refugees just laughed heartily.

"..."

Diaomin...uhhhhhhhh! What a bunch of unruly people! ! !

——————————

Priests... are "those who herd lambs for the gods". The believers are really lambs being herded, although it doesn't sound nice.

But no matter what god they worship or believe in, the believers are all lambs.

And it’s not a bad thing…

Gods and humans are interdependent. Although there is indeed a clear superior-subordinate relationship, for humans... having some faith is ultimately a good thing.

As long as you don't have blind faith.

So... what could be blind? In other words, what is it that makes the world blind?

It's light.

It’s A1 high flash (fog).

"..."

Sometimes, Iscariot would think this way. He thought... the Holy See has gone astray, and the only one who can guide everything is the gods.

Iscariot looked up at the stars in the sky. The stars in the sky reflected the bright moon. He prayed sincerely, but there was no response from the gods.

The God of White Doves will no longer send divine revelations, just like it has been for thousands of years.

The Holy See began to persecute those alien races, began to regard itself as God's messenger, and sent all unbelievers to the stake.

To arbitrarily occupy resources and plunder gold and refined iron.

These are all fallacies...

That is not the will of God... and all of this must be attributed to the God of Light, even if the gods of both gods are worthy of respect.

But hypocritical light is ultimately hypocritical light. The result of giving holy light to believers equally is just like this.

Iscariot witnessed with his own eyes that the Holy Kingdom gradually became more exclusive and extreme under the new Holy Code.

Of course, his growing dislike for the Holy See does not mean that he likes the Kingdom.

This country full of nobles, barons and viscounts who speak openly and silently... would be better if it were destroyed in the same way.

As for those unruly people...

[He just looks a bit ugly, with a square face. 】

[Yeah, like square bricks. 】

【Ha ha ha ha! ! 】

Iscariot, who recalled the laughter of those guys, was almost mad at the kingdom's unique troublemakers... Why were the kingdom's troublemakers so sharp in their complaints? !

The priest with a look of disgust took his hand away from the cross hanging around his neck, and turned his gaze from the stars in the sky to the two people lying beside him.

There was a man and a woman. He didn't know the man, but...

That girl is undoubtedly the third princess of the kingdom - Elijah Vicenbrough Viloret.

For him, this was undoubtedly an unexpected gain.

However, after thinking about it carefully, the priest named Iscariot hesitated... because such a harvest was not considered good.

After all, he is not short of money and does not want to cause trouble, so it is impossible for him to become a kidnapper.

There is no need to blackmail the kingdom for money...

What's more, if he simply massacres civilians, or instructs civilians to start a plunder in the kingdom, he won't receive much attention.

But if it were to attack the royal family directly, the nature would be completely different.

Yes, the crime of murdering the royal family is much more serious than trying to subvert the kingdom... He knows this.

So, do you want to kill it directly?

Let’s not talk about whether Iscariot could do such a thing, to put it harshly...

The third princess may not be happy to hear this, but it is true - the third princess is completely useless.

It has zero influence on the situation in the kingdom.

She even did nothing and did not interfere at all. According to the character of the third princess who bombed everywhere, it would have caused more damage to the kingdom.

Killing her would be considered as eliminating harm for the kingdom.

…

So how should we deal with it? Just leaving it in the cave like this, I felt sorry for my luck.

But if you want to deal with something... maybe, you should kidnap the two of them to the Theocracy and let your superiors make the decision?

Iscariot wasn't so sure.

Iscariot suddenly felt that he should reject the bishop and let other priests come to the kingdom to cause damage. He was really not very good at this.

Especially not good at dealing with those unruly people.

Everyone said that this is a righteous face, not a stern face...

My heart is very tired.
