"I didn't lie." The golden boy said with a serious expression, "Mary is still alive. Not only is she alive, but Herodotus also trusts her and obeys his words. Apart from not giving her freedom, he has always treated her as a distinguished guest."
"Even if you have to make up a lie, at least make it look like that," Tom curled his lips. "Herodotus, the high priest of the Silver Moon Church, obeys the advice of the believers of the Church of the Two-Day Church? If I believe this kind of thing
Yes, I am the biggest fool in the world."
"Wait a minute." Li Yu suddenly said again.
After listening to the golden boy's words, he thought of something again and took out the abstract painting that he couldn't understand.
This time, Li Yu took the lead and finally saw some clues.
This does not seem to be a painting, but two words, and they are two Chinese characters - help.
Besides Li Yu, the only person in the entire Bratis continent who has learned Chinese characters is the maid.
Li Yu said to Tom and Redio, "Do as he says, but ask everyone else to take out their crossbows and prepare their laser sights. If he says something that shouldn't be said or takes any extra actions, don't do it."
If you hesitate, just shoot him."
After speaking, Li Yu warned the golden boy, "You heard what I just said, don't take any chances. If my sacred weapon can kill the dragon, of course it can kill you."
"I know." The golden boy seemed to be planning to cooperate well. After Tom untied the ropes from his hands and feet, he said to Tom again, "My sword."
Tom hesitated for a moment.
The golden boy repeated again, "I need my sword, I can't go out looking like a prisoner."
So Tom asked the lizard warrior outside the door to get the golden boy's sword.
The golden boy took advantage of this gap to roughly bandage his injured finger, hid it under his sleeve, wiped his face, waited for the sword to be delivered, grabbed it, and walked downstairs.
At this time, the men in linen below had already rushed into the stone castle and were about to go up. They bumped into the golden boy who was going downstairs.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Those men in linen raised all kinds of weapons in their hands, as if they were intimidating the golden boy, and also seemed to cheer themselves up, even though they were the more crowded side.
But looking at the burly figure on the stone steps, many people panicked, and the man at the front even subconsciously took half a step back.
"Why are you here here if you don't have fun in front?" Golden Boy said expressionlessly.
"We are here to arrest the heretics." A voice came from the crowd.
"Then you have come to the wrong place. There are no heretics here." The golden boy waved his hand impatiently, as if he was shooing away flies.
"Yes," continued the voice in the crowd, "we caught the lame Gif this morning, he told us."
"Then he lied to you. You idiots were fooled around by a cripple."
The words of the golden boy angered the men in sackcloth, and they all became excited, "We were not deceived by that lame man, we peeled off half of his skin."
One person shouted loudly and raised the bloody human skin in his hand.
The person who spoke was clearly the rotten-toothed man that Tom and his friends met when they first entered the city. His whole face was flushed with excitement.
He used to be just a beggar in the Liny City, eating scraps every day, and no one would take him seriously. Until he joined the New Army, his life changed drastically.
As long as he puts on the linen clothes, no matter where he goes, he will be greeted with looks of awe and fear. Those who once rode on his head must now be careful to smile at him.
The rotten-toothed man discovered that no matter how dirty and despicable something is, as long as it is called a judge of heretics, it will immediately become righteous.
As a result, the evil thoughts in his heart were completely released, overwhelming his remaining humanity. The man with rotten teeth gathered a group of people from the same low-level background as him. Their methods became more and more cruel, and people looked at them more and more.
Becoming more and more afraid.
They feel that they have never been so powerful, and even the nobles who have always ruled this continent are now nothing in their eyes.
But this time the rotten-toothed man hit the wall.
The golden boy didn't talk nonsense to him at all, but suddenly drew his sword, and with a little force, he pushed several thin guys in front of him to stagger, and then chopped the human skin and the man with rotten teeth into two halves.
After doing this, the golden boy hung the sword back on his waist as if nothing had happened.
The crowd was completely subdued by his extremely arrogant momentum. Even the accomplices of the rotten-toothed man did not dare to say anything for a moment.
The golden boy then looked around again and asked, "Who's in charge here?"
No one answered him.
So the golden boy grabbed the short guy closest to him and said, "It's you."
The golden boy couldn't help but put a black iron coin into his palm, "Bring this to Deputy Captain Drizzt and tell him this is a misunderstanding."
The latter thought he was dead when he was grabbed by the golden boy. Who knew that the golden boy just asked him to deliver a message, so he hurriedly agreed, and then ran away.
The others did not escape, but were frightened by the golden boy's momentum and did not attack again. They just continued to surround the stone building.
The accomplices of the man with rotten teeth finally came to his senses again, clamoring to call for help again to avenge the man with rotten teeth.
But after a while, the short man came back again, and brought back an order from Deputy Captain Drizzt, asking everyone to evacuate the brothel.

At this moment, the group of people in sackcloth suddenly lost their energy and dispersed in a rush. They were all gone in less than a moment.
Tom did not ask anyone to put away the crossbow, but looked at the golden boy with a slightly softened gaze, "You really didn't tell the truth before, and you were able to command a deputy commander."
"I can't command you." The golden boy shook his head and said, "Drizzt only knows about iron money. We are a taboo that must not be mentioned in the church. No one except the seven high priests knows about our existence.
"Of course we will inevitably have to deal with the outside world when doing things. Iron money means not to meddle in other people's business. You can also get some supplies in specific places."
"Why did you suddenly change your mind and want to help us?" Tom narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously.
"I'm sick."
"Did you just realize that?"
"No, I mean I am really sick." The golden boy said seriously, "Or it is a curse that was placed on me by the Silver Moon Church. Herodotus holds the only antidote. This is me.
The reason why you have to sacrifice your life for him.
"If I help you find the child, can you ask the prophet Merlin to heal me?"
"You have a good idea, but unfortunately we don't need you to help us find Mary. I already know where she is." Tom said leisurely.
This time the golden boy was shocked.
"There is more than just one sacred weapon in Shuangxiujiao."
