On the third day after arriving in the city, the old priest basically investigated the matter.

After all, no matter how he is one of the top leaders of the church, although he is not the top one, he is basically clear about the affairs within the church and knows how to contact the hidden lines and spies that the church is stationed in various cities.

Furthermore, the situation in this city is already very serious, and basically many locals know more or less about things. So after he found a few hidden threads and used his connections to meet with a few reliable heretic judges committee members and spent money to ask some well-informed people from all walks of life and other good-for-life people, he basically mastered a rough idea.

However...

The more you know, the more worried the old priest will be!

So much so that he didn't go anywhere on that day, but just stayed in the living room of the top-floor suite of the hotel he booked, and didn't know what he was thinking about.

So, as soon as Annie got up in the afternoon, she naturally saw the old man sitting on the sofa in the suite living room and the young lady Crete who was standing aside with a pot of hot water and was a little at a loss.

“??”

(.)

"What's wrong with you? Are you not going out to play today?"

(=^▽^=)

Anne, who felt a little strange, certainly leaned over and asked curiously.

Yesterday and the day before yesterday, she saw that the two were very busy, and they could only see these two guys coming back at night. But now, it was still in broad daylight, and the two were sitting in the living room and sighing. That was indeed quite strange to Anne.

“…”

Crete looked at Anne, then looked at her father, then opened his mouth, but ended up saying nothing.

"cough!"

"Isn't it because of the lord count here?"

He sighed deeply, and then, seeing that Annie was still curious about the baby, the old priest paused and simply told him what he had found in the past two days.

It turns out that according to his investigation, the demon entrenched in this city was not a guy he had taken for granted to hide in the religious heresy trial committee, but the lord himself!

The Religious Heresy Trial Committee and the religious knights have just become the minions of each other and have to obey orders.

Many priests and knights who were unwilling to join in the scattered world either disappeared due to persecution or had to escape from here. The small part of the escape wrote a lot of letters of informing letters and appeal documents to the Hall of the Dharma King, so he and Clater came here to conduct a secret investigation.

According to the information and descriptions he obtained, the lord of this place, that count, had some habits less and less like a normal person.

Because, he found that the other party was keen on abuse and murdering living people?

For example: the other party likes to cut and tear a person like a puppet, chop it into meat sauce, twist the muscles and bones, create a blood pool, cut a caesarean section, break the heart, cook oil and fire, and other cruel punishments until he dies, etc.

Compared with the atrocities above, their humiliation, cruelty and coercion against women have become a bit unworthy of mention.

Of course, the most important thing is that after the lord count carried out the above atrocities, everyone, especially the young women, became his meal on the plate and was eaten. That was what made the old priest feel the most shocking and shocking, because it was no longer a simple description of words such as cruelty and tyranny, but a living demon!

Therefore, now that he knew the seriousness of the matter, he sat here with a sad face and thought about how to go back to report and write a report.

After all, it involves a great lord and the other party is an earl, with strong military and power under his command. If he acts rashly, he may bring disaster to himself... In addition, even if the Dharma King Hall wins his report, facing an earl, he may find it difficult and dare not act rashly.

It is precisely because of this that he will be entangled and hope to obtain more and more important things, such as the direct evidence of the Count being indeed a heretic or a demon. Only in that way can he get a job after he returns and force the Dharma King Hall to make a suitable solution.

Unfortunately, he had no good way to obtain that kind of evidence at the moment, so the investigation was directly in trouble.

"oh……"

(⊙o⊙*)

"Since it's confirmed, then..."

(*^▽^*)

Annie was just about to ask why she didn't call her door directly, but she suddenly realized that the two guys in front of her were just ordinary people, and Uncle Gus, who was not ordinary people, ran away again. Therefore, there was really no choice for the old man in front of her.

"Then there is nothing to do!"

ε=(ο｀*))) Alas

"Then you can only wait and see when that weird uncle Gus attacked the demon count, and then, you go and get the evidence?"

(⊙⊙)

So Anne quickly changed her words and suggested.

Anyway, Annie is sure that she will never interfere in the matter here easily, nor will she help. The matter here can only be handled by the people here. She just wanted to verify her point of view and came here with the weird uncle Gus, not to beat the demons and be a good person!

"But……"

"We don't know when Brother Gus will take action again, so my father is like this."

Before the old priest looked worried, Clater on the side sighed and said this.

“??”

∑(△)?!

"You just said 'again'?"

(゜-゜)

"In other words, have you seen that Gus take action?!"

(▽)

After impressing the message that the other party wanted to express in his words, Annie couldn't help but be a little surprised because she didn't know that kind of thing at all, and she was only concerned about eating, drinking and having fun these two days.

(…)

(●￣￣●)

"Um!"

"Yesterday at noon, Annie, we went to watch the execution..."

Speaking of this, Crete seemed to remember some terrible scenes, so that his face suddenly became a little ugly.

"us……"

"We saw a woman who might be just a little older than me was executed..."

"It is in the name of the Heretic Investigation Committee."

"But later we found the executed woman's younger brother and learned that she was just an ordinary girl, not a cult heretic at all, but they still executed her and beheaded her."

As he was talking, Clater couldn't help but shivered, then gritted his teeth before continuing to say:

"At that time, Brother Gus appeared, but we did not dare to say hello to him, because he had a conflict with the lord's men, and also killed many soldiers and provoked the lord."

"Then, in the chaos, we didn't know where he went."

"It's so scary!"

"Annie, you don't know, I heard..."

"This month, less than ten days, they have executed five people, and they are all about the same age as me. It's so terrible!"

Because of the creepy scene, and the person being hurt was about the same age as himself, Clater had the illusion of being injured, and then he couldn't help but shivered again as he spoke.

"That's how..."

(**;)

Anne said that it really sounded quite a bit disgusting.

Unfortunately, she didn't see it yesterday, otherwise, even if she didn't help, she would secretly cause trouble for the bad guys, such as secretly setting a fire, burning their old lair castle, etc.

"Father!"

"or……"

"Or why don't we leave here?"

"The investigation is enough now. Let's go back and report to His Majesty the Dharma King and inform the other party of the situation here. I believe His Majesty the Dharma King will definitely interfere!"

"Or otherwise, there will be more people..."

Every time he thinks that just a few days a month later, five people will be judged and beheaded in the name of "heretics", and when the young lives are taken away by the demons in the name of "justice", Clater can't help but be afraid.

Then, in addition to fear and anger, she certainly wanted to go back early and go to His Majesty the King of Dharma earlier to accuse the demon count of many crimes!

“Um…”

“It’s really dangerous here!”

"I heard..."

"Many monks who are suspected of spies or pilgrimage here have been arrested, but I just..."

Thinking that he had come to this city in the name of an ordinary priest and had taken the initiative to inquire about things in the past two days, the old priest couldn't help but show a very fearful expression.

"That's it!"

"Clait, let's stay for two more days to see the situation. If it really doesn't work..."

"We'll..."

Dear! Dear!

“??”
