Crossing at the same time, all nightmares start

Chapter 43 Matthew, I now find you guilty

Inquisition!

Hearing this name, the two pastors broke out in cold sweats.

Those people are all fanatical and cruel lunatics.

Not only ordinary people, but even clergymen will suffer heavy losses if they go in and don't die.

And if Matthew was honest and spoke righteously, they would definitely suspect that he was a liar in disguise.

But just this look greatly increases his credibility.

"Big, my lord."

As expected of a ravaged ox or horse, the tall pastor, after a psychological struggle, gritted his teeth and tactfully took out a purse from his pocket.

“Sir, you must be working very hard to prevent everyone from tarnishing the image of the church.

I have some small gifts here, please accept them."

Matthew took the purse, shook it, and snorted disdainfully.

The two of them were startled.

Just as another pastor was about to "express" his opinion, Matthew suddenly looked at the bald old man they were escorting.

"What crime did this old man commit?"

The tall pastor approached carefully and spoke in a low voice.

"My lord, he is the leader of the Oracle of Kodli. The bishop said that it is because of those who study black magic that they have incurred the wrath of God, so..."

Matthew's eyes lit up.

"Dealing with heretics is a good and honorable task that should be handled by our Discipline Committee.

Leave this old man here, I will take care of it for you."

Another bastard trying to get sales!
The tall pastor cursed inwardly.

But a look of difficulty appeared on his face at the right time.

"But the Bishop allowed..."

There was a hint of coldness in Matthew's eyes.

“Reverend, the matter of your buttoning not being buttoned properly can be a big deal or a small matter.

If I want, I can take you back and ask you a few more questions.

For example, withholding relief and embezzling it?"

Their expressions changed.

At this time, Matthew's tone softened again.

“Don’t worry, brother, you know that Grace can’t hold on for long. I just want to make some money before I leave.

I will hold a grand trial, let all the people of Gresh know his guilt, and then I will tie the old man to the stake and burn him to death.

This way it won’t be difficult for you.

Don't forget that old man Robert was promoted from the archdeacon of Targoviste to the bishop here because he presided over the burning of witches.

Everyone is working for the Lord, so please make things convenient for him.

Maybe we'll meet somewhere else in the future, right?"

Hearing that Matthew had revealed the bishop's resume, the tall priest's eyes flickered, he gritted his teeth, and winked at his companion.

The two men slowly retreated.

"May God bless you, my lord."

He has someone above him.

If things get out of hand, their new bishop is not afraid.

But when the gods fight, the little devils suffer, and they are the ones who take the blame.

The monthly income of a pastor is so little, why would he risk his life on it?

Just go back and report it.

After the two men left, the bald old man still stood there honestly, his eyes calm and gentle, without any intention of escaping.

"Father from the Disciplinary Committee, what are you going to do with me?"

"There's no such thing as a disciplinary committee."

Matthew put the purse away with satisfaction.

"I'm just an expelled priest, old man. You are safe now."

"Oh my god, you lied."

Elder Vito said in disbelief.

Then his expression changed and he suddenly smiled gently.

"But thank you very much for your help, sir. I am Vito Bernardi, the head of the Oracle of Cordri."

"My name is Matthew, and the bachelor next to me is called Laruff Belmont. Can you take me to see your fleet?"

"Matthew, what a nice name."

Elder Vito's eyes moved slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and spoke gently.

"We are stationed here, so there is no convoy, but I would like to show you our residence."

The Oracle Group is stationed in a dilapidated house on the edge of Gresh.

The Belmont family has a deep connection with the Oracle Group, so from the beginning on the road, Laluf had a good chat with Elder Vito.

The old man also started his performance.

According to him, there were a total of twelve people from the Oracle Group this time, but one of them disappeared in the catacombs west of the city while searching for the "sleeping warrior" who could stop Dracula.

Still haven't found it yet.

This time he ventured into the city just to find talented people.

If it weren't for Matthew and the other two, the consequences would have been disastrous.

During the conversation, the old man always looked at Matthew intentionally or unintentionally.

This made him feel a little uneasy. This was one of the few conversations between the two of them.

"Mr. Matthew, what do you think about Dracula?"

"Eat the mutton and watch it."

"Excuse me, may I ask why you were expelled from the church?"

"Your question is very presumptuous, old man."

"Sorry if you don't want to tell"

"corruption."

Elder Vito was silent for a moment.

He tactfully changed the subject and brought up the matter of the "Sleeping Warrior" to Laruf.

Hopefully, he can go underground and wake this man up for the people of Gresh.

Laruff said awkwardly that because of what the church did to the Belmont family, he did not want to help the residents of Glacier, nor did he want to awaken the "sleeping warrior" to save the world.

But the other members of the Oracle Group gave him a way out.

It is said that the missing person is the elder’s only grandson.

For the reason that “we cannot let the elderly lose their last relatives”.

Only then did Laruff agree to go to the dungeon to look for someone.

“As a condition, I need the Oracle Group to leave Glaish immediately.

Matthew's lies won't last long. The bishop will bring people here soon.

If you don't leave now, you will all be burned at the stake."

"As you wish." Elder Vito smiled.

However, at this moment, a chaotic sound of footsteps was heard outside the window.

The sound became louder and louder, and it seemed that many people were rushing towards this side from afar.

The faces of the magicians of the Oracle Group changed.

"It seems a little late."

Matthew looked out the window.

Countless citizens holding torches and dung forks came angrily from all directions and surrounded the house where the oracle group was located.

Twenty or so priests holding long swords stood at the front.

Surrounded by an old man with a gorgeous Mediterranean hairstyle.

"It's him?"

Matthew was a little surprised.

"Shouldn't this old sconce be in the church waiting for news of the Oracles being burned to death? Why is he here?"

Robert Francisco.

The culprit behind the entire Dracula massacre.

As a staunch supporter of the Bishop of Targoviste Cathedral, it was he who received the report and burned Dracula's wife at the stake despite opposition from others.

Then, an old otaku who had been holding it in for thousands of years went crazy.

The irony is that when the people are wailing under the claws of the monster.

The culprit was promoted to Bishop of Glaish because he burned witches and escaped the massacre some time ago.

In addition, Robert also fired the original owner of the body who defended the "witch", causing Matthew, who had just traveled through time, to almost starve to death.

At this time, citizens holding hammers walked out of the crowd and came to the door of the house where the oracle group was located.

He raised the hammer and was about to break in.

Before the hammer fell, the wooden door suddenly opened.

boom!boom!
A shadow flashed by, and the citizen holding the hammer flew out immediately.

A figure in a priest's robe slowly walked out from the shadows behind the door.

The people around suddenly became nervous.

"it's him!"

Beside Bishop Robert, the tall priest who had previously escorted Elder Vito suddenly shouted loudly.

"It was he who took the heretic away!"

"What?" The Mediterranean old man frowned and looked at him sternly, then was slightly stunned. "You are, Matthew? You are not dead?"

"You old troublemaker are still alive, so how can I die?"

They are all survivors from Tageviste. As the saying goes, when fellow villagers meet, they shed tears, and when enemies meet, they glare at each other with envy.

Matthew walked into the sunlight, flexed his wrists, and said sarcastically.

"It took the bishop himself to burn the Oracle Group to death. Are you afraid that the person pretending to be a clergyman is really a high-ranking official, so you came here to take a look?

Robert, after not seeing you for a year, you've become much more skilled at scheming.

But the people above you are all relatives. If you want to climb up further, you need to find a young man in his thirties to call your father."

"asshole!"

The priests holding weapons around suddenly became noisy.

However, no one dared to step forward rashly because they were afraid of the force Matthew had just displayed.

"It seems that the decision to fire you was not wrong."

As if what he said hit the nail on the head, Bishop Robert frowned tightly, with anger flashing in his eyes.

“Even after being expelled from the church, you failed to recognize your sins and even dared to pretend to be a clergyman and mingle with heretics.

You should have been burned with that wicked witch.

But it is not too late now, Matthew, for you aid heresy, I now pronounce you guilty.

Just surrender."
