Chapter 126 Mad Dog Archbishop
Roger had heard of the name "Mad Dog Duras" before coming to Kanding. He was crazy and moody, and no one could guess what he was thinking.
When he was just an ordinary congregation, he was regarded as a madman. He knelt on the stairs of the cathedral in St. Panin for three days and three nights to see the Pope. Although the Pope was not moved by him until he fainted, people agreed with his piety.
Later, he entered the wilderness to preach and almost died at the hands of the barbarians. He also led troops to eliminate evil pagans for the Holy See. After the third encirclement and suppression of pagans, he returned triumphantly, brought back a total of 3,000 prisoners of war, and burned to death outside the city of St. Panin. Since then, he has risen to the throne of the Archbishop.
Unlike other archbishops, he began to establish his own armed forces and guards as soon as he entered Kanding City. He also arranged for the church to preach the teachings of the Holy See and his "great achievements". The citizens present could receive rice, vegetables and other things. His kindness and power made these measures very effective. In just a few years, Kanding City had been firmly in his hands.
In contrast, the administrators in Kanding City are just puppets, and the groom who drives him now is a senior staff member of the Executive Office.
He hesitated with the knife.
Roger didn't expect him to be so extremely changeable, but he was calm and smiled and said, "Is this necessary to dig my heart in line with the teachings of the Holy See's preaching benevolence?"
Duras looked at the little witch and said, "Great doctrine is for devout believers. Holy light will bathe the believers, and benevolence will be given to believers. Witches, those who are willing to provoke the authority of the Holy See are not listed here."
"The Archbishop is wise, witches and provocateurs should be severely punished," said an old man in a worn-out dress, looking up.
Soon, several more people agreed and demanded severe punishment for Roger and the others.
Under Duras, they made the most profitable and supported the most.
But there were not many other responders, and many looked at each other. Although they thought Roger was disrespectful to the Archbishop, they did not think they should be punished so severely, but they did not dare to let them oppose Duras in person. They could only remain silent and wait and see.
Some girls also looked at the knight named Dakol, hoping that he could stop the tragedy, but Dakol did not move anyway.
He is Duras's only son, and he knows Duras's character better than anyone else.
Seeing that the groom dared not take action, Duras smiled and said, "You are not going yet? Do you want me to do it yourself?"
"No...I dare...",
His smile made people feel heartbroken, and the groom sighed in his heart and walked forward with a knife.
Roger quietly pulled the little witch back, and he looked at Duras's mouth curled up.
This person has already set a trap for him. If he stands still and suffers at this time, he is the one who suffers losses, and the one who kills the man is not Duras. Even if he dies, Duras can easily refuse. If he fights back, he can just put a charge of "beating the Holy See and insulting the Holy See and punishing himself legitimately. If he chooses to escape, it happens that he can send administrative personnel to be wanted immediately. At that time, even if he has a more mouth, he will not be able to explain it.
The mad dog Archbishop seemed moody but actually took all the situation into consideration. Roger also decided to break the verge of death, watching the golden knife in the hand of the coming groom secretly poked out.
"call",
"hiss",
Just as Roger was preparing to burn both jade and stones, a strong wind blew, and a giant python poked out its huge head and crossed the crowd and reached above the carriage, pressing against the groom's head.
The black shadow was cast down, and the short knife in the groom's hand fell to the ground with a "clang". He stared blankly at the king cobra with red apricots spitting on his head.
"Snake...Snake...",
"Help...",
The crowd suddenly became panicked, and the people kneeling in front of them squeezed back desperately. However, the huge king cobra did not attack the crowd, but the snake's head crawled down to let the girl sitting on its head beside the carriage.
The deputy commander of the Crusader, Liana, confronted the mad dog Archbishop of Kanding City.
Feeling the dangerous aura emitted by her body, Dakor behind the carriage secretly held the light cavalry rifle tightly, while Roger was obviously relieved.
Although this woman was annoying before, she has become a "friend" and gives him a sense of reliability.
"Article Duras, you can't touch this little devil."
The snake head was slightly raised, and Leana looked down at him with her hands and legs raised. Her almost commanding tone made Duras sneer.
"Deputy Commander Leyana, do you want to shelter a witch and a provocateur?"
Since Dakole was sent to the reserve of the Templars, Kanding City, he has stood opposite to the Crusaders. Although he did not intend to offend the Crusaders to death, he also did not accept the Crusaders' orders.
Leana smiled and said, "The little witch and provoker you mentioned are all students of Ziweihua Academy. He is about to participate in the final of the Sankui League."
"That won't change their identities as little witches and provocateurs," Duras stroked his slender fingers and said, "Deputy Commander Leana, as a Vatican military officer, you should know the ban on witches better than me."
Leana blinked her beautiful eyes.
"The Pope personally issued a ban on learning witchcraft, but there seems to be no clear ban on witches. If you think you might as well lead troops to attack Red Yan Island and arrest all the witches there and burn them to death," Leana mocked.
"Dulas, as a military staff, has always been simple and clear. If you want to arrest them today, you can only try to catch people from my Leana."
The king cobra's eyes became vicious as if they were in a heart-warming manner. The red apricots popped out from time to time. The atmosphere was tense for a moment. Dakor's palm was already sweating in his palm behind the carriage.
After a long time, Duras laughed and put down the curtain.
"Deputy Commander, if you have time, please come to the church to discuss doctrines. We are both clergymen. We are just servants of His Majesty the Pope. Only by all our heart can we share the worries of His Majesty the Pope."
The groom breathed a sigh of relief and walked onto the carriage and drove away in a hurry. The knight behind the carriage also breathed a sigh of relief and rode his horse by, and looked at Roger when he passed by.
This person is not simple. The deputy commander of the Crusader is willing to offend his father. A student of Ziweihua Academy? He had a premonition that he would meet him again in the future.
After Duras left, the crowd of people kneeling down and left hurriedly. When they looked at Roger and others, they all had a lot of fear in their eyes.
"Roger, thank you sister..."
Leana turned her head and was about to tease Roger, but saw Roger holding the little witch and waved his hand helplessly. The timid witch was shocked again.
