only god

Chapter 593 None of this is true

After returning to the camp and reporting to Bright, Eden returned to his tent. He reached out and touched the pendant around his neck, still feeling incredible.

"Why is that…"

Eden couldn't help but murmured.

He still felt that everything that happened there was like an illusion. How could the Lord decline again? How could another god succeed His position? If all this is true, then what does the true religion have to say? What’s the meaning?

"If all this were true, it would be like believing in a god that doesn't exist."

When he thought of this, Eden shuddered. He quickly recited scriptures and begged God for forgiveness.

"Lord, forgive me."

After finishing speaking, Eden gradually calmed down. At this time, he felt how ridiculous his idea just now was.

"How could the Lord decline again? That is just a collective dream of paganism. Even this pendant is not an illusion, not a reality."

Eden thought this and became determined again.

...............

Early the next morning, the group of scouts who went to track the assassin group had returned. The assassin group escaped in time, and they found nothing. So, the news of breaking up camp and setting out came from the general's tent.

Eden and Verdo got into the carriage. The priest looked at the old man and touched the pendant around his neck. He wanted to say something, but he stopped.

"It's really dangerous. I didn't expect the princess's marriage to be so dangerous. I thought it would go smoothly."

Verdo said this as he looked at Althea's carriage leading the way through the car window.

Eden nodded, as if he remembered something, and suddenly said:
"She killed."

Verdo turned his head,

"Who? Your Highness the Princess?"

Eden nodded slightly.

"That's killing someone in self-defense. It's not a crime."

Verdo said so.

"But the look on her face... was like... like a murderous maniac."

Eden recalled and couldn't help but said:

"I can't imagine that Her Royal Highness the Queen would have such a daughter."

After finishing speaking, Iden waited for a while. To his surprise, the dwarf priest did not speak.

The priest turned his head and saw the dwarf priest looking straight at him without saying a word.

"how…"

Eden said confused.

"Eden, do you know what kind of person I am?"

Verdo said in a gentle tone.

"He who has seen the prophet...isn't he?"

Eden saw Verdo shake his head.

"No, I mean before meeting the prophet."

Verdo said.

Eden thought for a while and realized that he had almost never known his savior. He only knew that he was a man who had seen a prophet.

"A long time ago, about 50 years ago, I was a wanderer and a sinner. I set fire to my clan's house and almost killed my father as well. I also stole and did a lot of deception and abduction. If I become a true believer and take refuge in the Lord, it is just for the money of the religious group."

Almost without reservation, Verdo slowly shook out the ugly deeds of the past, as if talking about an unrelated person.Eden was shocked. He originally thought that Verdo was a nearly flawless true believer, just like a queen, but he did not expect that Verdo had such a past.

"I remember that when I first heard the scriptures, I burst into tears. But this was just an act. In fact, I felt extremely contemptuous. At that time... I did everything I could to get into the cult."

Verdo raised his head and said slowly:

"Do you get me?

At that time, I was just a weakling and a sinner. "

Eden murmured:
"I can't imagine."

Verdo stared at Eden and said softly:

"Yeah, it's unimaginable, and I couldn't imagine it at that time. A wanderer, almost abandoned by the entire society, but the cult still accepted me. My godfather accepted me and led me into the grace of God. middle."

After speaking, Verdo paused and continued:
"I can see that you have a prejudice against Her Highness the Princess.

However, how do you know that people will not change?People will be baptized. When the water falls, it wets people's hair. People may not take it seriously, but at a certain moment, God's grace will wash people's souls sooner or later.With God, nothing is impossible. "

After hearing this advice, Eden's heart slowly calmed down. He looked at the leading luxury carriage and said nothing. No one knew what he was thinking.

As the mighty and huge convoy moved forward day after day, it got closer and closer to the Osenko Kingdom.

They passed through the southern frontier provinces, stopping for a few days to replenish supplies.

This was one of the few leisure moments during the journey, and how could Althea let it go, so she rang the bell and called Eden over.

"You seem to regard me as a servant at your disposal."

Looking at Althea, Eden said helplessly.

The tall princess shrugged.

"Why not? This is the frontier of the empire. If something unexpected happens to me, how will you explain to my mother?"

Eden held out a finger,
"Instead of explaining to your mother, your safety is just a matter of convenience. We went to Osenko to investigate that sect."

Althea nodded repeatedly,

"I understand, I understand, but if there is anything wrong with me, the convoy will have to turn back. Wouldn't it be in vain that you have been busy for so many days?"

Facing the princess's rogueness, Eden had no other choice but to sigh.

"Okay, where are you going?"

Eden thought for a moment and asked directly.

Althea clapped her hands,

"execution ground."

Eden frowned in confusion;

"Execution ground? What are you doing there?"

Althea turned around, pointed at the Governor's Palace and said:

"I have inquired. Today there are five death row prisoners who will be executed, and one person will be tied in shackles and humiliated in public. We will go there immediately. When the time comes, I will snatch his job from the executioner."

After Eden heard this, he couldn't help being shocked. He felt that the princess was definitely crazy.

Regardless of race or country, executioners are a profession that is despised and feared by people. People even believe that their souls are born unclean.

Because of this, the people who served as executioners were usually poor people, homeless people, or other members of the lower class of society.

But now, this princess has a whim and wants to take away the executioner's job.
