Whispers of the Gods

Chapter 11 Nalanni I

"Go and help him." Weigel, who was side by side with Nalanni, said to the knights behind him.

The prophetic knights dismounted one after another and began knocking on doors from house to house.

There was silence in the hut, and there was no response.

"The door is locked!" shouted one of the knights.

"Me too." Ragnor muffled through the helmet.

"Tell us why?" Weigel said, "These knights are now your subordinates, order them."

"Okay, okay," Ragueno's tone was a little flustered, "Then... just force open the door!"

After that, Ragueno took out his ax from his waist and slashed at the door.

"In the name of the Holy King, open the door!"

The wooden door couldn't resist the "bang" and "bang" slashing of the axe. After a while, the upper half of the door was chopped open.

Nalanni could see through the gap the women cowering in the corners of the hut, staring out wide-eyed in fear.

After a while, some of them started to cry.

Ragueno reached in awkwardly and lifted the wooden latch, kicking the door open.

"Runaway slaves!" Ragnol said, "I can see the marks on their hands!"

After that, he dragged a woman out of the room and pushed her onto the mud.Sure enough, she had the mark of a star on her hand.

The woman looked frail and exhausted, her neck bearing red marks from years of wearing slave chokers.

The other knights also found the slaves in the hut they were in charge of, and brought them all to Nalanni.

Her heart was extremely complicated at this time, and her parents and clansmen looked at the armored knights of the Holy Empire in the same way in horror.

But Nalanni could only keep her usual expressionless face, which she had become very good at.

"Please, Lord Knight!"

A villager knelt on the ground, tying Ragueno's left leg, allowing the latter to drag him forward. Two marks were drawn on the ground by his knees.

"Please don't take her away, she is my daughter!"

"let me go!"

Ragnol was holding a little girl, and he swung his legs to shake the villagers away. His armor made a creaking sound.

"Haha, don't worry, we will find her a more competent father." Weigel said with a sly smile.

Nalaniduo wanted to close her eyes and cover her ears, the tragedy in front of her was pulling her into painful memories.

She seemed to be able to see her mother's red eyes from exhaustion, and her father's shoulders shrunk from anger.

And she could only cry and shout, letting the knights of the Holy Empire break up her little family with their own hands.

But no matter how hard she tried, a part of her head refused to shut the memory off, and kept echoing: If only I could save them.

"father!"

The girl in Ragnol's arms cried out for her father and kicked her legs to break free.

"Master Knight Commander," Ragnol firmly controlled the girl, and said to Nalanni, "All the thirteen escaped slaves are here, as well as the villagers who provided them with shelter, and his children."

Nalanni looked at the little girl in Ragnor's arms. She had the same gray eyes as herself, which was a characteristic of the Saverio people.

The girl's eyes were already a little red from crying, and she grinned and kept crying, but any resistance in Ragueno's arms seemed powerless.

The sense of guilt and guilt made Na Lanni burst into tears, but she immediately suppressed them.

"Master Knight Commander?" Ragueno's tone was a little puzzled.

"You did a good job, Knight Ragnor," Nalanni calmed down her emotions, and said lightly, "You have passed the last test, and you have become a member of the Knights of Prophecy."

"Good job, kid!" Weigel applauded, and the handguards collided and made a "dangdang" sound.

"Thank you, Lord Knight Commander! And Sir Knight Commander!"

The crying of the girl in his arms could not affect Ragueno to express his joy at all. He finally broke free from the entanglement of the villagers and kicked him away.

"Give this girl to me for safekeeping." Nalanni said as she stretched out her hand to Ragnor.

"Are you sure? Thank you so much! This little thing annoys me a bit." Ragnor happily agreed, and he carried the girl to Nalanni's horse, holding the girl's waist with both hands. It was handed over to Nalanni.

"Dad! Daddy!"

Nalanni put the little girl on the saddle in front of her, and she struggled and kicked, calling out to the crowd for her father.

The girl's father staggered up from the ground as he crawled forward, trying to rush towards his daughter, but was immediately pushed to the ground by the knights of the prophecy.

"Save your energy, old man." Weigel said to the villagers, "your daughter will be fine."

"Where are you taking her?" the villagers yelled in pain, "This is all my fault and has nothing to do with my daughter!"

"We know," Weigel said with a smile, "so she belongs to the church now, not to a felon who committed treason. Receive the punishment you deserve and your daughter will be cared for."

The villagers looked at the daughter in Nalanni's hands with sadness and reluctance on their faces.His brows were furrowed, and the corners of his mouth drooped.

"Listen to Dad," the villager said softly, "don't cry, I'm fine."

"Girl, listen to your father." Nalanni stroked the girl's head, "You will be fine."

The girl stopped her crying and shouting and stared blankly at Nalanni.

"I didn't expect you to be good at dealing with children." Wei Geer said.

The villagers lost their eyesight and looked pale.He lowered his head and slumped on the ground, as if compromising his fate.

Nalanni ignored Wei Geer, she turned the horse's head and began to ride slowly and covered the girl's ears to prevent the girl from seeing or hearing what was about to happen.

Weigor said to Ragnor: "Knight Ragnor, you have completed your test, now as a prophecy knight, go and perform your duty."

"Obey, my lord commander." Ragueno said respectfully.

"Sun above, I, Ragnol, Knight of the Order of Prophecy,

According to the Supreme Law Code of the Holy Palacis Empire, and the rights granted to me by Imnacha the Sun and the Sun Church,

Because of the crime of treason committed by you, er, a villager in Panxiao Village whose name is unknown, and who harbored fugitive slaves, the death sentence of beheading is announced and executed at this moment!

Your child will become a member of the Supreme Church, be cared for and brought up, and serve the Sun God for life. "

Nalanni gritted her teeth, her face was rigid and expressionless, her anger towards the Holy Empire not only never extinguished, but intensified by witnessing and participating in their crimes.

She swore that she would continue to endure until she could touch the murderer who claimed to be a god.

Narani whispered in Saverio into the girl's ear: "Never trust these people." (Friko etom ri tita.)

The blue sky is dotted with fluffy white clouds, and the gentle breeze caresses the grass and horseshoes.
