Chapter 81 Divine Trial (Part 1)

On this day, an extremely lively scene once again appeared in the usually peaceful town of Rika. However, this time, it was not a celebration of the rare festival of the year, let alone the joy of a good harvest.

Lively, because there are many people. Rika Town, an ordinary town accustomed to frequent visits by adventurers, welcomed several groups of guests on this day. uninvited guest.

The reason why it is said that these people are uninvited guests is because these people usually do not appear in the small town in normal times. Their appearance today is really surprising.

In the morning, when the sky just dawned, first a group of gorgeously dressed and neatly dressed people, who were different from adventurers who dressed casually, appeared in the small town in a carriage after bringing up a large amount of dust.

There were men and women among them, and they didn't behave like people from the villages and towns. After getting off the car, they even asked around about Pastor Tennis.

Some curious townspeople asked about their identities. The other party claimed that they were from the Adventurer's Guild, and they came to Rika Town this time to investigate whether the crime committed by Priest Tennis was true.

"Do you know? Pastor Tenis committed a crime! You saw that group of people just now, they came from the small town to investigate, tsk tsk, they usually look very kind, but I didn't expect them to be not a good person."

"Not necessarily. He is a pastor. If you have a bad heart, how can you become a pastor? Could it be that God didn't notice it at all when he chose his believers?"

"That's why I said that this matter may not be true. People have said it. They are here to investigate. If there is evidence, what is the use of investigation, right?"

In the Mott Hotel, several townspeople are having a lively discussion about this matter.

At the table next to them, there happened to be a group of adventurers. When these people heard the townspeople's investigation, one of them couldn't help but sneered and said, "If you conduct an investigation, it means it's not true? Let me tell you, your priest named Tenis It's not a good thing, we just came from the small town, so we are not familiar with the situation here, but in the small town, everyone is yelling at Tennis, saying that he is a scum among priests."

"Everyone is yelling at Priest Tennis? Why?" Because this place is too far away from the small town, and the geography is relatively remote, so the news about Priest Tennis' frame of the adventurer team has not yet spread here. I heard there are inside stories , some people gathered together to listen to these adventurers.

"Why? It's not because Tennis instructed an adventurer named Lancaxi to betray his teammates during the adventure. Now, those adventurers went to the Adventurer's Union and sued him. The investigators just now , I just came here to investigate this matter, but, in my opinion, what else is there to investigate, there are dozens of witnesses, this matter can never be faked." The more the adventurer said, the more angry he became. "Anyway, that priest named Tenis is definitely not a good person. Such a person can still be a priest of the temple, which really discredits the temple."

"Yes, yes!" The other adventurers echoed.

"What? Lan Cassie betrayed his teammates? Priest Tennis is the mastermind behind the scenes?" Because this incident was beyond everyone's expectations, the entire Mott Hotel fell into exclamation all of a sudden. .

No one noticed that a group of people in white robes passed by the door of Mott Hotel just at this time, and when they heard the conversation of the crowd, the leader frowned slightly.

"My lord, do you want to go in and stop them..."

"Forget it, the influence has already come out, let's think about how to get rid of the root cause." The leader said softly, and then, with a wave of his hand, the people behind him started to walk faster.

Baronial Castle.

"Lord Baron, someone outside asked to see you. They said it was...the messenger from the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture wanted to see you."

Your Excellency the Baron has just had dinner,

I was reading in the study, and suddenly heard a servant come in to report, I couldn't help but be surprised. "Apostles from the church? Please invite them in... No, no, let me go out and greet them myself!"

The church is a special existence above the royal power. As a small baron, a lord with a small fiefdom, the baron naturally dare not offend the church. Not to mention him as a small baron, even the king of a country must be in awe of the high-level church.

However, because it happened so suddenly and there was no warning at all, the baron couldn't help being curious while dressing up and walking outside.

In the end, what happened? Why did the church send messengers to him? Although it is not appropriate to belittle oneself, the baron is still very clear about how much he weighs. His fiefdom seems to be not small in name, but in fact the territory under his rule is only the town of Rika. Such a place, unexpectedly He was both flattered and a little apprehensive to be able to keep the church in his heart.

After all, there is already a temple in his town. If there is anything, he can send an order to the temple, and the priest of the temple will tell him.

What happened to cause the church to send messengers down in person?

When the baron came outside the castle, the gate was wide open, and he found a group of priests in white robes standing outside, led by a very serious-looking priest.

Seeing the baron coming out in person, the priest saluted slightly immediately. Show your identification to the baron first.

Because the other party was an envoy sent by the church, the baron naturally didn't dare to be careless. He took a look at the proof, and hurriedly replied, "So it's Pastor Anitas. I don't know why you came here for..."

This pastor Anitas is the fifth-level pastor sent by the church. Along the way, he heard many people talking about Tennis, and he was already a little angry. Speaking of which, he did not enter the castle, and after explaining his purpose, he got up and rushed to the temple in the town.

This is the working style of the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture. Although the rights of the church are above many secular rights, in terms of doing things, they still adhere to the idea that people can find no faults as much as possible. The judge, because the baron is the lord of this place, so they came to inform first, which was considered polite enough.

After that, it is time to perform the duties of the church. When exercising the duties of the church, no one can obstruct it, otherwise, it will be regarded as an enemy of the church.

Watching the priests leave, the Baron stayed where he was. The words of Pastor Anitas kept echoing in his ears.

After all, he is a baron, and as soon as he thought about it, he fell on Romon. Because Pastor Anitas had roughly explained the content of the Tennis incident, knowing that Romon had joined the baron in the Haiwawei team, he naturally sorted out the whole incident very quickly.

And the result of clearing it up was that the head that hadn't hurt for a long time started to hurt again.

After turning around a few times, the baron's face became more and more gloomy.

Although the relationship between Tenis and himself was mediocre, a fourth-level priest was actually made into such a state by Romon, which made the baron feel vigilant.

"This Romon is really worrying." After a long time, the baron cursed in a low voice, then turned and returned to the castle.

Then a carriage drove out of the castle. At this time, the temple in Rika Town was already in chaos. The news about Pastor Tennis had been reported a long time ago, which caused quite a stir in the temple.

Although the town of Rika is not too big, at any rate, the scale of this temple is not very small. Therefore, in addition to Tenis, the presiding priest, there are also several rotating intern assistants sent by the above——trainee priests.

Except for Miss Alini, the other trainee pastors are all gathered together now, talking in low voices about Pastor Tennis.

And many people who came to pray also had some feelings after hearing the rumors. Although they did not shake their faith, the situation was getting worse.

This is the feeling after Anitas and his party arrived.

"Who are you?" A trainee priest asked in surprise when he saw such a group of strange priests in the temple. It was only rumored in the town that when the investigators from the Adventurer's Union arrived in the town, no one mentioned the presence of the church. Therefore, the appearance of this group of priests surprised everyone.

"I am the fifth-level priest, Anitas. I was sent by the bishop to preside over the ordeal here. Which one of you is Pastor Tennis?" Pastor Anitas scanned the crowd and asked.

"Priest Tennis is in his room. Are you saying that you are going to preside over the divine judgment to judge Pastor Tennis?" Hearing that there will be a divine judgment in the town, everyone felt that the situation might be really serious. It's more serious than they thought.

And Anitas gestured to the left and right, and immediately two accompanying priests, led by the priest of the temple, "invited" priest Tennis out from a room.

"You are Pastor Tennis? I am Anitas. I was sent by the bishop to come here to perform the divine judgment on you. The divine judgment will be performed in an hour. During this period, you will be closely monitored by us. Well, I don't want to say anything more, I will explain the whole story clearly in Shencai, now, take him down and keep him under guard for the time being."

Anitas gave an order, and several priests appeared, and then escorted Tennis away.

Anitas turned around and faced the trainee priests of the temple. "You guys have to take part in the divine match. Now, everyone, please go take a bath and change your clothes. After an hour, God will come and test your loyalty to her." Saying this, she didn't want to look at the reactions of the crowd. Led by the temple director who rushed over, he turned and left.

An hour later, in front of the temple in the small town of Rika, the first divine cut will be ushered in.
