Chapter 79 The Change of the Holy See

Witherspong is a city located on the bank of the Suprati River. It is born and flourished by water.

Since the Middle Ages, it has been the most prosperous trade center on the Hastan continent, with a history of 700 years. Due to the transportation of rivers, there is an endless stream of pedestrian trade here. It is famous for its alchemy and magic. It is not only a famous tourist center, but also a city with great combat effectiveness.

The ancient St. Mark's Square is the center of the whole city, surrounded by a cathedral, a magic tower and an alchemy laboratory.

It is an amusement park, a place full of wonder and charm, which makes all travelers who have come to Witherspoon yearns for it. Of course, so is Star.

Here and the Death Forest are completely two extremes, and the beautiful scenery is overwhelming.

Through the car window, Star can see white jade-like buildings, towering magic towers, and magic fountains full of rainbows.

"How's it going? Is the scenery here good?" Tannis asked charmingly. We have arrived in Witherspoon now, so what's your next plan? Do you want to go with us or find a place to live somewhere?

"Thank you for your kindness. I have my own plans." Star is not interested in Tanis's flattery. Since I knew that all the information about this woman was fake, the only thing I had a good impression on her disappeared. It was so boring that Starr even doubted whether the conservatives were secretly helping him solve those possible enemies. Bull, park the carriage in front of the hotel over there. I'm going down."

Stara drives the curtain.

What you see is an extremely luxurious hotel.

The Joan of Arc Hotel is quite famous even in the whole of Witherspoon. Even the big chandeliers on the ceiling are stringed with precious seabed clam beads. Without the slightest magic power, only its own brilliance is enough to illuminate the whole hall. Although a long dining table is used in the hall, it is all made of precious obsidian.

Even the appearance of the hotel is made of white jade-like stone bricks. But the calligraphy and paintings at the door disrupted this harmony.

It was a blonde teenager with a noble temperament, but he became a wanted criminal.

Star turned his head and got back into the carriage. He didn't expect that Withers Pompon's street was full of his own images. Even if you take a step forward, you will be known immediately. You'd better send me to the Holy See."

The carriage turned to a turn and drove fast.

When he saw this Laren, he stood at the door of Alidas Church. I don't know why the people of the Holy See let the thorn knight be sent to guard the door.

Star jumped out of the carriage excitedly and gave Leren a bear hug.

"I'm sorry to see you here!" Star made a little joke, "I thought you would sit in it and drink espresso or cocktail like a priest."

However, Leren did not have the excited expression as Star imagined, but looked very surprised. He looked around in panic, then pushed Star to the carriage behind him and shouted in a low voice, "Come on, don't come here."

"What's going on?" Star looked at him in surprise.

"Who is Leren?" The sound of scars came from the side door of the church, and Star heard his voice from afar.

"Scar, it's me, I'm Star, I'm looking for you!" Star quickly waved to the side door.

The scar is still the same, but it looks a little haggard than before, and the body is much thinner than before. The moment he saw Star, an undisguised joy flashed in his eyes, but soon he was submerged. He quickly turned his head and walked back to the side door, as if nothing had happened here.

But soon, a team of heavily armed knights rushed out.

"What the hell is going on?" Star looked at the knights who had firmly surrounded the church door. They were covered in silver armor with two black pythons wrapped around each other. Holy Knights, the elite troops against infidels and demons.

As far as Star knows, the Holy Knights and the Holy Church Knights are stationed in two different cities respectively and do not belong to anyone.

No one knew what was going on, and the Holy Knights rushed out quickly blocked the whole street in front of the church. The uniform long gun did not hesitate to put it in front of Star's throat, and the murderous intention on his body was clear.

"What are you going to do?"

Star looked behind him angrily. He felt that Tanis and the others had betrayed him, otherwise how could the knights know that they would settle down in this place? But after looking back, the carriage was also controlled by the Holy Knights. The weapons carried by Bull and Duran were also unloaded at the first time.

"If there is any argument, let's wait until the Presiding Judge comes... Devil, you will pay for your behavior." A knight said fiercely. If it weren't for the bastards of the Alchemy Guild who wanted to catch you alive, I really want to kill you now.

"Sword light, don't!" Star drank the sword. The people of the Holy Knights can't deal with it by themselves. Almost all of these people have good strength, even the thorn knights are ordinary among them.

"Your Excellency..." Scar stepped forward and stood in front of Star.

"Stop it, you and Laren have been suspended for investigation. You'd better pray now that the presiding judge won't tell you some bad news from his mouth. Otherwise, you will be guilty of the same crime as him. The leader-like knight drank the scar. "The Templar Knights have now been taken over. For the sake of our colleagues, you'd better get back."

The knights separated Star and took him to a deep prison.

When the light of the moon and the stars dimmed, in the dark dungeon, the dim light of a butter lamp swayed in the wind. Several dark shadows swam like ghosts under the light. The rotten cell exudes an unpleasant sour and stench, and there are several bodies that have turned into white bones lying in the wooden prison.

Star sat in prison and looked at the Holy Knight warrior like a wooden stake. In any case, he couldn't imagine why this matter had developed to this point, and why did the Holy See do something to himself? Didn't Leren and Scar hand in the evidence obtained from Sadek?

At this time, a familiar voice came from outside the prison door, which made Star quickly prick up his ears.

"Brother, I haven't seen him for a long time. I'll go in and have a drink with him and catch up. For the sake of all the colleagues of the Holy See, let me go in and have a look. That's Laren's voice.

"Well, I only give you half an hour." The wooden pile-like knight finally spoke.

The prison door was opened, and Laren came in with a basket. Leren didn't say anything. He took out plates of dishes and two bottles of wine from the basket. These are all my favorite dishes... If you like them, eat more."

"Is this a broken-headed rice?" Star did not scold, complain, and was not angry. Looking at Leren, who looked like a gentle little wife, he asked. Although his face looks really afraid of people. He came all the way to look for them. He thought he could be wanted by the two guilds, but who would have thought that he would be imprisoned in the Holy See. Can you explain it to me?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was stuffed with the turkey leg into his mouth by Laren.

Star stared at Leren and was treated like this by a knight who enjoyed the famous Knights Templar. He was still somewhat resistant. Answer me!"

"If you want to scold, just scold. It's better to scold..." Lelan opened the cork, and the pleasant smell of wine suddenly filled the whole prison. This is our incompetence... To be honest, my dear friend, it's great that you are still alive. But I really don't want to see you again. Damn it, we were taken over by the Holy Knights."

"What the hell is going on?" Star looked at Laren doubtfully.

"It's very bad, and it's very serious!" With a solemn face, Leren began to tell Star what had happened during the period after they left the castle.

"Wait... You mean, you have handed in Sadek's materials?" Leren said that after they returned to the Holy See, Star quickly interrupted him.

"Yes, my friend, we not only handed in the materials. And I also proposed to the bishop that you join the Holy See. Leren said.

"Okay..." Star spread out his hands with a helpless smile on his face. "To be honest, don't expect me to join the Knights Templar. Not only am I not interested in the Holy See, but I am also not interested in men."

"But the problem now is... my friend, even if you want to join the Holy See, it's impossible." Leren said with regret, "The group of damn alchemists united with the magic guild and put pressure on the Holy See at the same time. The materials we reported were suppressed, and you were inexplicably wanted!"

Lolo shook his head with a very heavy expression. Please forgive my question. Haven't you reacted upwards?

"When we knew that you were wanted, we were very angry." Leren said this, and an angry look suddenly appeared on his face. We went to someone to argue, and then we were dismissed. As you can see, we can only fall into the position of guard now. That bastard, he must be from the Alchemy.

"Who is the presiding judge?" Star hurriedly asked.

Laren lowered his voice and whispered his face close to him. He is the head of the Holy Knights. As for the specific situation, I don't know much about it. He has been close to the people of the Alchemy Guild all the time, and he is very hostile to our Templar Knights. Now he happened to be caught by him, and the Holy Knights directly took over our station.

Star was shocked. He didn't expect that the presiding judge had such a great ability. The Holy Church Knights are subordinate to the archbishop's army. It must not be easy to be taken over so easily. I'm afraid it's unreasonable for the guy who is the presiding judge to deal with himself now.

"So what will they do with me? Are you going to hang me in St. Mark's Square? Star narrowed his eyes.

"No, they are going to send you to the alchemy for trial. At that time, the magic guild and the people of the Holy See will come forward.

"So what about the people who came with me? Are they also in this prison?" Star, who had never seen Tannis and others, asked quickly.

"They are not here, but they were taken away by a man. They seem to call him 'Lord Doriel', and it is said that he seems to be the leader of the conservatives of the Alchemy.
