Chapter 180: House arrest (Part 2)
After a moment, a man who looked like a captain of the guard came up, followed by about ten people. The man was not tall but had bright eyes. He asked, "Your Excellency is Lord Romon Fanada Tatshaw?"
"Yes, who is your Excellency?" Romon replied calmly.
The captain nodded slightly and said, "I dare not, I am the captain of the church guard. I am ordered to take you to Kada District."
Romon nodded slightly, but the man didn't even say his name.
"Lord Tatshaw, then, please ask!" The soldier captain made a gesture of inviting, but this was just superficial politeness.
Romon smiled bitterly and looked to the side. There was already a carriage. The carriage was gray and narrow, and it felt a little uncomfortable depending on the situation. He had to get on the carriage.
The guard captain followed him, while the other soldiers were completely protective, surrounded him and walked towards the city.
"Stop for a moment, I have something to say." Romon suddenly said while walking on the road.
The guard captain waved his hand and the team stopped. "Lord Tatshaw, what are your instructions?"
The other person's speech is still very humble.
Romon asked tentatively: "Can I send a letter to my subordinates before I go to the Kada District? They don't know this time when I come here. I'm afraid that my disappearance will cause them to panic."
"Sorry, Lord Lord, because our mission belongs to the church, you cannot contact others for the time being. However, you only need to go there and assist in the investigation." The guard captain said politely.
When Romon heard that he could not contact others, he felt a little nervous and he began to feel something bad.
Of course, these ten people are all lower than level 5. No matter how strong the Lord of Glory Church is, it is impossible to use a knight as a soldier. With his combat power, he can instantly settle these ten soldiers and leave. However, this challenges the authority of the Lord of Glory. Before he figures out what is going on, he will just go all out. It is not Romon's character.
So, Romon just sighed and said, "Okay, keep going."
The captain of the guard nodded, stopped talking, waved to the others, and the team continued to move forward.
Along the way, although at night, many people still saw this group of people and glanced curiously. However, once they saw the gray carriage, everyone's face immediately changed and they hurriedly avoided it.
Seeing this situation, Romon felt even more uneasy and began to understand that his current situation was to be nicer, he was asked to assist in the investigation. To put it bluntly, he was half arrested.
There was nothing to say along the way, and soon, they came to an area where soldiers were everywhere, and many knight leaders with the Lord of Glory were patrolling.
When he drove along a main road, Romon saw a temple and a barracks, and he felt even more uneasy.
At this time, Romon didn't know that this Kada District was the famous religious jurisprudence, and of course, it was just a small branch here.
It is said that the Religious Tribunal, 3,000 years ago, once tried the King Faki VII, and spent the last three years of his life in the Religious Tribunal.
Of course, such behavior completely angered the aristocratic class. Only in this way can the rapid rise of the god of order and law, Saddat, faintly compete with the Lord of Glory, and maintain the aristocratic and order from being violated.
However, since now, although the authority of the religious court has dropped significantly, some small nobles have been locked up from time to time, and Romon is not the first or the last.
Romon didn't know this at this time, but he saw the high walls and arrow towers, and the guards in uniform patrolling back and forth. This was beyond his expectations. No matter how he looked, it looked like a prison.
Here, they walked a long way, and then they stopped in front of a building that looked very majestic. The building was divided into three upper and lower floors, plus one underground floor, with four floors in total. The soldiers directly took Romon to the underground floor.
Walking down the steps that were several dozen meters long, Romon began to know that something might be going to happen today.
Sure enough, when I walked past the steps, what appeared in front of me was a long corridor, and houses on both sides of the corridor.
"Lord, I'll be wronged for a while. Let's go and inform the bishop now. You can rest here first!" He was very polite, but very determined, and Romon was pushed into a room.
When I went in, I found that this was a not small room, quite clean, but there was nothing else except a few wheat straw blankets.
There was an old man, a middle-aged man in his thirties and a teenager. When Romon was pushed in, they all raised their heads and cast some complicated gazes at him.
Behind him, the sound of the iron gate being closed, and Romon now understood his situation. This is a prison, a prison belonging to the church. There is no place except prison, which can be like this.
"Young man, are you caught by them too? Come on, come here and sit here." The two younger people ignored Romon. Instead, the old man saw Romon standing there in a daze and looked around, and couldn't help but wave and ask him to sit next to him.
Romon also wanted to understand the situation, so he sat down as he said.
"Young man, why were you caught by them? Is it because of investigation or accidentally discovered some recent situations?" the old man asked, looking at him up and down.
This old man is short and has messy hair. He wears glasses that are rare in this era. This is an item that can only be made by the magic union. Obviously, this old man is not an ordinary person, but is probably a scholar.
Of course, Romon came out of the mining area at this time. Although he changed his clothes, he was only better than ordinary people. He was basically the middle-class citizen class.
After hearing this, Romon was shocked.
"My name is Romon, who is your gentleman? I think, what is your situation?" Romon carefully selected the words: "I was asked because of the mining area."
When Romon spoke, the old man kept staring at him. After a while, he smiled bitterly: "Young man, you are very cautious, but there is no need here. Have you discovered something from the underground?"
Romon looked at the old man in surprise: "How do you know?"
"I am Lulun, a scholar in the city. Recently, I noticed that there was something happening in Anshad Canyon. Many monsters appeared and went to investigate. They were brought here. Not only me, they were all, but they were wronged. They happened to be local witnesses, and they said something else!" The old man smiled bitterly, pointed to the two people next to him, and saw that they pointed at him. The two people just looked up and looked at them coldly, then lowered their heads and continued to daze.
"In fact, not only us, but many people have been arrested here in the past few months, and batch after batch. We are all newcomers, and the previous batch of people have already left." The old man Lu Lun finally sighed.
"Leave?" Romon was a little confused: "Where to go?"
"I don't understand yet? Of course, I just die! I'll die when I leave! They all die! We will die too! Those of us who know the inside story will be executed! If we had known, I wouldn't have reported the news about the monsters to the church! I thought I could get some rewards, but I didn't expect that I would die here! I still have my wife and children to support me! I don't want to die yet! I still have parents waiting for me to go home! These damn guys! I hate them! I hate them!" The middle-aged man who had been silent suddenly raised his head and shouted in a stern manner.
"Word it low, do you want to die now?" The scholar Lulun said quickly, and sighed again: "If I had known, I wouldn't have told you. Alas, a common problem for scholars!"
As a scholar, Lu Lun certainly has analytical power and can easily distinguish desperate news.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man stopped, then, stunned for a while, then hugged his head and started crying in a low voice.
Romon kept watching, his heart sank little by little: "Does...I want to die here too? Just because there is a demon in the underground mining area?"
Almost at the same time, in the conference room on the third floor above the Romon prison, five bishops were discussing Romon's life and death.
In the conference hall, there are various small statues placed on the long table. The statues are all kinds of heroes, each of which is shining with a faint holy light, looking sacred and kind.
And in front of them, the topics being discussed are not so beautiful.
"I think no matter who it is, we cannot let it go. If ordinary people know about it and panic occurs, the consequences will be very serious. At that time, it will not be able to effectively control it." The bishop who was talking was about thirty years old, with natural indifference in his eyes. He spoke without mercy: "According to historical records, the previous few information has been exposed, which has led to large-scale fear of lies and even the collapse of the anti-demon front line. No one can be exceptional except for a certain level."
This person is the bishop here, Lord Susim, the bishop of the Religious Court.
Hearing his words, the other four bishops present nodded and agreed, and several others showed hesitant expressions.
"Bissar Susim, I don't agree with your opinion. Blocking information and preparing for battle is a must, but the devil is imminent and may break out within a year. At that time, those who should know will still know, what's the point of killing so many people now?"
The person who spoke was also a bishop, a tall and thin person, about thirty years old, wearing a holy robe and seven golden threads, shining under the magic lights of the hall. This man seemed to be a little different from Bishop Susim, and he raised his voice to object. Seeing everyone looking at him, he said calmly: "Secondly, even if you block the information and lock these people up temporarily, there is no need to be executed, right? Especially this Romon, he is a registered nobleman in the Kingdom. Although he is just a small lord, he cannot deal with him hastily. You must know that the power he now has is not much worse than a baron, because it is not appropriate to kill him by this matter."
"Yes, no matter what, Romon is now a lord, and you can't be too hasty. It's better to raise him to interrogate and see what his attitude is. After all, he is the lord of that territory. According to God's metaphor, he cannot escape!" An elderly bishop said, his eyes shining with a light of wisdom.
Execute other gods' believers and nobles at will, which is why the church of the Lord of Glory has declined slowly over the past thousand years. After all, this can easily arouse the disgust of other gods, especially the nobles.
It doesn't matter if one or two nobles are, but the tendency of the entire aristocratic class is very powerful, and even gods cannot ignore it. The Radiant Church once carried out the purge of the aristocratic class, but this is only effective in a short time. In the long run, the desire for disintegration and disintegration is faster, and the church gradually pays attention to this.
The old bishop's words were very important. In a moment, the bishop's meeting produced a motion and summoned the Lord tomorrow.
At this time, Romon, who had not known that he had been walking around the gates of hell, was whispering to the old man, while the other two were still dazed.
At this moment, the iron gate rattled and was pushed open from outside.
"Come out!" Several soldiers walked in from outside, pulled up the middle-aged man and the boy next to him and walked out.
"You...what are you going to do...no...I don't want to die..." the middle-aged man shouted in fear.
"Shut up!" A soldier pulled him out impatiently, saying, "They had no intention of talking to the person who was going to be executed.
"Wait a minute, where are you going to take them?" Romon stood up at this time.
The soldier glanced at him and said coldly: "I said, sir, take care of your own affairs and do not interfere with our actions."
As he said that, he pulled two people and walked out.
The iron gate was closed heavily again. Now, only Romon and the old man were left in the room.
"They are going to be executed?" Romon asked in disbelief.
Here, life is so lowly?
In their brief communication just now, he learned that those two people were both innocent people and were executed like this?
"Oh! This is not the first example. Don't sympathize with them anymore, we won't stay here for too long." The scholar Lulun sighed and sat down. Overall, the higher the status, the more cautious the execution.
He is a famous scholar and can live for at least a long time. As for ordinary citizens, if they discover things they shouldn't have discovered and are stupid enough to promote everywhere, they will be quickly arrested and executed soon.
Romon sat down next to him, feeling cold in his heart. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation in this world, which reminded him of several famous purges, and was arrested and executed so quickly.
The scholar Lulun continued: "You have seen it just now. Many people have been executed for this matter. In fact, there are many abnormal movements in the underground layer, and the upper class has known it for a long time. However, they do not intend to tell ordinary people to know, so as not to panic... and we will become sacrificed people, therefore."
The one who was sacrificed?
