[Two Legged Bald Rattlesnake] Zola stood on the carriage and coldly watched.
There weren’t any traces of mercy that a holy and just priest should have. He glanced at the crowd having a slight commotion and said: “The Church had received a top secret report, not too long ago, the most evil – undead magic was used during the battle on the stone bridge in Chambord…… I suspect that these people had been allured by demons, because I feel slight traces of undead magic among them…… God’s children, don’t try to doubt father’s fairness…… I promise to you people that the church will make the most just and fair ruling. As soon as we find out that they didn’t make any deals with the devil, I will personally walk them out of the church.”
This was the reason that Zola gave out.
But this seemingly simple reason instantly terrified the residents of Chambord on both sides of the street. Some people who were crying and begging for mercy because their friends and relatives were pulled out of the crowd were all stunned. They didn’t dare to make any sounds; defeat and despair filled their eyes.
On Azeroth Continent, it didn’t matter how much prestige you had or how powerful you are, once you have been considered making a deal with the devil by the Holy Church, that meant the same as saying hello to the Grim Reaper’s sickle. There would be a location prepared for you in advance on the Holy Church’s Burning Cross.
There was no exaggeration. There was a shocking incident –
Twenty years ago, Bruno, the famous emperor of the strong level 6 Dulin Empire had advanced to the peak of Moon Rank under the age of fifty – a Full Moon Warrior. Some people even predicted that with one more step, Bruno could advance to Sun Ranked. On top of that, Dulin Empire had armies of millions and numerous powerful warriors and mages. They indeed dominated a section of the continent, and no other Empires dared to cause conflict with them in more than ten years.
However, during his heyday, Bruno suffered from a man-made disaster.
The cause was from one of the parties that the Church hosted. Bruno, who was a little arrogant, had offended Pope Platini accidentally, and he was later accused of colluding with the devils in Hell by the Church. Under the command of the Pope, soldiers of the Execution Knight Templar wiped out the Dulin Empire from the Continent with their powerful force. The fate of the super strong Bruno was even more miserable – It was said that he was tied onto the Burning Cross of the Sun God on the peak of the Holy Mountain – Waulu Mountain, which was also the headquarter of the Holy Church. He was burned alive by the terrible magic fire for three years and died in endless pain.
Therefore, Zola’s simple words had suddenly put everyone in despair. The few young girls who were dragged out of the crowd by iron chains on their necks even fainted and fell to the ground.
The crowd was silent on the street.
Even the friends and relatives of the young women and men who were “captured” didn’t dare to say a word at this point; they didn’t even dare to make crying noises.
The Holy Church’s despotic power was evident.
