She Is Not a Witch

Several young men and women walked among the white stone carved buildings, strolling slowly, some were talking with each other, and some pointed to the statues and asked which saint it was.

"Huh, this is the white flower saint Durlan." Hesen wiped the sweat from the heat, and pointed to the white statue standing in the fountain in front of him.

The saint was wearing a close-fitting and graceful dress, holding a special long sword in her hand.

The hilt, body, and guard of the long sword form a straight cross shape, and then there is an upright circle on the guard that surrounds the hilt and the body of the sword. This circle has a complicated pattern like vine branches and leaves.

Durlan held this special holy sword and inserted it into the ground, and then water spouted from the junction of the sword and the ground, forming a small fountain.

"It is said that this saint led the local people to build a city in just one month during the chaos and disaster, and then inserted the sword into the ground to attract clear springs and solve the water problem, thus saving hundreds of thousands of people. Therefore, she was canonized. After the war, she left behind an extraordinary faction, the Bailan Cross Sword, which should still be found in Wilga.” Hesen explained the statue.

"A rare female canonization." Boli looked at the small stone stele below curiously, which recorded the time of her birth and death.

"Then, is the Bailan Cross Sword still being passed down? I'm going to see it when I have time."

"Well..." Hesen thought about it.

"Which city is it in..." He couldn't remember for a moment.

"It should have been in Hopelander, Bailan Cross Sword." Rosier walked slowly next to him, stood with Boli, and looked at the stone stele below.

"Is this what it used to be? What about now." Another girl also walked over, she asked curiously.

"It should be on your side. It is said that in the Hopeland Incident a few years ago, most of the members of Bailan Cross went to Frost Rose." Lorrain Hill continued.

"Well, I don't usually know much. When I was young, I liked to play around." Jelika touched her chin.

Afterwards, the group looked at other statues one after another, and then walked towards the Château de Château.

Amidst the tall trees, there was a lingering singing from a small church.

Few pedestrians are very quiet around, only the occasional cicadas from the treetops remind the time of the moment.

The 7 people from Lorrain Hill did not enter the church to visit, because it would disturb others and it would be abrupt. They sat on the benches and rocks outside, listening to the chants inside.

The nuns and monks in the choir are not too old, and the innocent voice sings a cappella without accompaniment, giving a sense of purity and sacredness.

"Possessed, self-sufficient, graceful and compassionate."

"Living in the capital city, holy and solemn, empty valley orchids."

"My sage is immortal, if there is nothing to do, graceful and inviolable!"

The bytes in them are all short sentences with the same length. When singing, the scale rises with the adjustment of the song, and there is a vast and solemn sacredness.

In this way, a few people sat quietly in the shade of the trees, blowing the summer wind, listening to this remote and sacred poem.

"Although I don't quite understand the meaning of the lyrics, I always feel calm when listening."

After they finished listening, they continued to walk on the mountain road, talking to each other.

"Perhaps this is the effect the chant is trying to achieve. Sometimes the lyrics are not important, but the sacred feeling of calm down is important."

Several people came to the other side of the mountain as they talked.

At this time, what unfolded in front of them was a magnificent scenery.

The setting sun reflected the sky, slowly falling into the horizon, the purple clouds of the sunset were soaking in the horizon, and the pale golden sunlight fell on the vast **** under the mountain peak.

Due to the cold climate here, there are few trees, most of the ground is gravel, soil, green weeds and the like. And this huge **** of several thousand square meters was reflected by the setting sun at this moment, and the golden and sparse brilliance filled every corner of the line of sight.

The world is clear and beautiful, the grass trembles slightly in the evening wind and light, and there is a good dry smell in the air.

"There is such a beautiful place around the holy mountain, why didn't I know before." Several people sighed and counted.

"I'm afraid you have been to this place before, but I quickly ignored it at that time." Ya said with a smile.

"In fact, it is usually sparse and normal here. If it is cloudy, the huge **** below will be pale and not beautiful."

"It will only present beautiful scenery at certain times."

"Is that so?"

Haisen and the others sighed with emotion, sat here again to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and then left when they knew the sun was sinking into the earth gradually.

"Holy Flame Palace is not far from here, let's go over there for dinner."

Everyone wanted to go to the mountains in the south according to the pre-planned route.

As a group of people slowly approached, the noise of a tumult gradually became louder. A group of priests dressed in plain white robes were gathering together and walking between the roads. With their shouts, a large group of people followed behind with interest. , In this way, the number of people increased, and the momentum gradually increased, and on the road, they approached Lorrain Hill and others.

"Sibis manipulates promotion and deployment and persecutes poor pastors, which is a heinous crime!"

"Shameless villain, unworthy to be an archbishop and a priest with a scepter."

"Removal! Let the Adjudication Division interrogate him!"

Facing this mighty crowd, the seven had to avoid the monks and nuns on the side of the road for the time being, stood on the side of the road, and watched them pass by.

"Is this a protest?" Boli asked in a low voice.

"It should be, but at this point..." Crow didn't say half of his words, but everyone probably knew what he meant.

"Forget it, regardless of our business, we are still students of Emenas, it is best not to participate in this kind of thing." Hesen said to the side, slowly waiting for these people to pass, and continue with a few others. Go ahead and sit down in a restaurant under the Holy Flame Palace.

The space in the restaurant is not large, they are on the second floor, sitting in a side position.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and burning wall lamps were replaced on the indoor walls. The flames burned quietly in the windshield tube, emitting a bright yellow color.

While waiting for the meal, several people heard curious conversations from other guests around.

"Where did those pastors come from? They were so bold and directly insulted the priest of the Ten Sword Palace."

"I don't know the specific process, but I heard people say that most of these pastors are from small places. Because of the arrangements of the church, they have been pastors in remote and poor places for more than ten years, and have not been promoted or deployed, so there is a backlog. A lot of grievances."

"Then why do you scold Sibes for this kind of thing, he seems to care about it."

"He doesn't care, but his students and friends control it. It is said that many bishops in wealthy areas belong to the Sibes faction. They take care of each other and are very powerful. This is the cause of the anger."

"Sorry for keeping everyone waiting."

While Lorrain Hill and others were idly looking at the night view outside the window, a waiter in the restaurant finally served tonight's dinner.

Bubbles were still in the red ochre stone pot, and the soup in it was still boiling, exuding a tempting fragrance. Inside are small pieces of yellow, green, and red. Among them are meat, vegetables, rhizomes, etc. The color matching is very good.

"This is the more distinctive method of the Holy Flame Palace." A student said so, and then picked up a wooden spoon, scooped out part of it, and distributed it to each companion.

"It is said that it was invented by priests in some remote areas in the early years. Because the chaos disaster had just passed, and many places were short of food, they would cut the prey they hit, the plant roots and fruits they dug into pieces and put them in and cook them together. . But I don’t want to find a few good taste combinations after I get too many times, and then they have been passed down."

"This kind of stone pot was also used because there was no abundant ironware at the time, and only local materials were available. This restaurant also retained the original style." Haisen explained like a master tasting. The tall and strong student seemed to Have a good understanding of eating.

"It sounds like a sense of history." Jelika picked up some of the spoons and couldn't wait to taste them.

"It's better to be cold for a while, this one is very hot." Crow, a person who usually looks cold, would care about people at this moment.

"Hey, okay." Jelika put down her spoon for a while, then looked at the night view outside the window.

In the mountains at night, the long dragon of torches spreads upwards along the mountain road. Even if you sit in the restaurant here, you can hear the shouting echo from the opposite side of the mountain.

"Unexpectedly, slogans started to be shouted here." Jelica sighed.

"Is it common with Frost Rose?" the silver-haired girl sitting beside her asked curiously.

"Yes, in the past few years, there have been a lot of new things and some new systems in Rulna. At first, the local people did not understand it. The big local family was also very repulsive. Banners were drawn on the streets, and people were organized to shout slogans and so on."

"The general idea is the fairness and democracy of rights. It cannot be held in the hands of the stubborn conservatives in the local area. After a long time, everyone will slowly be agitated, and then the high level of the Frost Alliance will implement new policies, and there will be much less resistance. This way Gradually, the rights of the local big family were confiscated."

"Originally, the big local family was the big chamber of commerce, and the surrounding residents would also work in the chamber. They were all folks, and they were extremely united. Now that the rights are taken back, the Frost Union began to dismember these big chambers of commerce and gradually merged into the official organization. in."

"Such a large organization performs its own duties, and competition is much less." When Jelika said this, her expression was not as relaxed as before.

"Isn't this a good thing? In this way, a lot of internal friction can be avoided." Crow said casually with a glass of sake.

"But... there is still some worry, so many ordinary people have no other choice when facing such a powerful behemoth. And this way..."

"In this way, a monopoly is formed." Lorrain Hill added with a sigh.

Although Frost Rose also has so-called democracy on the surface, this ‘democracy’ only serves the powerful, that is, the powerful.

The entire country is like a huge company. The purpose is to earn profits for the top (magic, wealthy, etc.), and then use this to expand its strength, actively spread to the surrounding area, annex the Seven Kingdoms of Xuehua, and finally fight against Green.

It seems to be the right choice, but it is all based on the huge sacrifice of the bottom layer. Because it is similar to a company, when you can no longer provide it with value (labor, battle, wealth), you will be abandoned by it. They don't know how to endorse or get some so-called guaranteed benefits.

Because the structure of power is that the higher the extraordinary strength, the greater the wealth of people, the higher the voting rights, while the poor and low-level people without extraordinary strength have very low voting rights. Naturally, they do not need to consider their interests in the parliamentary proposal, or even consider it. Its rebellion, because it does not have that strength.

The people at the bottom are like firewood. After the most elite years have been burned, they will be abandoned like rubbish.

However, under the slogan of the Frost Rose Alliance, such behavior is not wrong, but correct and great. People believe that they are not good enough to cause misfortune.

The verdant empire divides social status by blood and extraordinary strength, whether it is noble or not.

Hanshuang Rose divides social status and power by wealth and extraordinary strength.

The latter is an imitation of the former, so it is also very similar.

If this kind of behavior is placed in a distant earth civilization, it may have long been replaced by a new social form, and the emergence of extraordinary sequences has caused the actual gap between people to become extremely large, and this concept has become more and more stable.

And the more extraordinary countries there are, the more obvious this situation is. Although the clear view in the church is that everyone is equal, in fact it is hard to escape the influence of objective laws and ideological trends.

Since the establishment of Hanshuang Rose and Crancia, the social structure and rights topics that have not been paid attention to have been heatedly discussed over the years. People in other places may have been blocked by news, low level of education, and said little, but in churches that are literate per capita and proficient in history and classics, the concepts of all parties become lively and intense.

Everyone often discussed with each other, and later they were divided into several factions.

As more and more information about the Rose of Frost Frost was introduced into the sanctuary, many pastors also slowly agreed. They claim to be the representatives of angels in the world, and they have extraordinary powers, that is, they are higher than those of ordinary people.

The main group of people who agree with the doctrine of hierarchical society ~www.readwn.com~ are concentrated in the faction of Archbishop Sibes.

As for the chief of Otis of the Knights of the Holy Spear, he agrees more with the view that meritorious people are above. No matter who they are, as long as they have merits, they are superior to those who have no merits. This is their view. .

And Beines has never expressed her position. Although Lorrain Hill felt that she might be inclined to be equal, in fact, or because there is no strong argument, she has been silent all the time.

The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.

Lorrain Hill sighed in his heart, watching the scene of confrontation and noisy between the two sides on the opposite mountain, and then a group of knights on horseback came from the other side of the mountain road, holding torches and long swords, well-trained, righteous. It is the long-famous holy spear knights on the mainland.

"Quiet! Quiet!"

This group of knights drove both sides with torches, separating the two groups of people. Then a knight riding a tall horse and wearing dark gold and silver engraved armor came slowly, and the scene gradually became quiet.
