holy flame

Chapter 040 Angel Comes

Who is in the saddest mood at this moment to keep the people who are screaming for help out of the gate?

Julian is not always smiling. As a ranger with a mysterious origin, he has experienced many things. Although he is not very old, he has seen a lot of good, evil, ugly and beautiful of the same kind. Said it was just a trivial matter.

It's not Frank who looks mature and gentle. After all, he used to be one of the real power holders of a principality. Although it is only a sesame-sized country, the ruler has never had many dirty or dirty methods, except for Samuel Outside of Er, Alan, and those people who were hiding behind the scenes, in fact, his heart had already become as hard as a stone.

Not to mention the simple and stable big Bahn, the mixed-race Bahn grew up in the barbarian northern ice field. Although there is no threat of undead and demons in that place, the cold and food are more terrifying.When Bahn was young, he was almost eaten as food by a strong and foodless adult savage several times. In order to survive, what else can a person not do?

It's even more unlikely that Samuel, who is still ignorant of the feelings of normal human beings, would still be on the road for half a month if he knew that this would happen...

Although Alan, who is still in transition, and Angel Zoe, who doesn't understand the world, feel a little uncomfortable, after all, they have already experienced a natural disaster in Chris's church, and the people outside here are not his people. It can't be counted as human beings, pity the human beings outside, just like most human beings pity kittens and puppies.Both of them were just uncomfortable for a while, but they were fine soon.

Only Eric, a young hunter who is usually taciturn and has a weak sense of existence, although he has comforted Zoe before, he was just an ordinary person and he has personally experienced the disaster brought by the undead. The men and women of the world feel the most empathetic.

However, because of his personality, and because of his gratitude to Samuel for choosing him as his entourage, Eric still buried the depression and pain in his heart, and performed the tasks assigned by Samuel calmly.Cooperate with the personnel at the front and rear doors with the arrows he shoots, so that no one can take a step past the door until the two doors of the church are closed.

"Hey! Eric, your hands are bleeding." Zoe, who was worried at first, was tired of seeing the miserable scene outside, and when she turned her head, she saw Eric's bloody fingers—— Pulling the bowstring, even Eric's calloused fingers from years of training have been deeply scarred.

"It doesn't matter." Eric was still smiling, and took a piece of cloth to wrap his thumb and middle finger and index finger, and continued to hold the bow and wait.

Zoe pursed her lips, laying down on the sack beside the clock tower with her head in her arms, and murmured in a low voice: "If it was me in the period of total victory, no matter if it was the undead or the humans who took advantage of the fire below, I would be able to solve it with just a wave of my hand. But now even a small human wound can’t be healed, so depressing~”

Although Eric could hear clearly, to be honest, he had never believed that Zoe was an angel, and had always regarded him as a fantasy child.But hearing his "nonsense" at the moment, his mood improved a lot, he shook his head helplessly and smiled, and continued to pay attention to the movements at the front and rear doors.

Within 10 minutes, Julian also took two church guards and a white-robed priest, and ran up the bell tower with a bow and arrow.The following is the defensive battle, and the force of long-range strikes will inevitably increase.

The first thing Julian did was grab Zoe's belt and was about to push him up the stairs and drive him down.

"Why don't you let me stay here! I can fight too!" After graduation, I was also a battle angel, and even fought with demons. Although I have no record until now, I hide in the If his classmates or teachers knew about the safe place, he would be laughed at.

But Zoe didn't say anything later, after all, there are still outsiders, and now he finally understands that although some things are true, under certain circumstances, it's better to say less.

"What else do you have besides that super lighting technique?" Julian picked him up and asked in a frivolous tone that made Zoe's teeth itch.

"I can still do things like carrying arrows." Zoe pursed her lips, thinking that he thought he was the No. Impressed very much.

"..." Julian still carried Zoe, walked up to the stairs, and signaled a soldier to open the passageway of the stairs, and the soldier obediently obeyed.Feeling bad, Zoe immediately yelled, and in the end she just hugged Julian's arm like an octopus, but in the end his small arms and legs couldn't twist Julian's long arms, and he was caught. Viciously flung it out.

"Little Douding, if you run around here at your height, you will be trampled by us accidentally."

"you!"

"boom!"

The door closed suddenly, and almost slapped Zooey on the face. The little angel left with red eyes, fists clenched, and left viciously.

The gate of the courtyard was closed, and after all the outsiders entered the church, the gate of the church was also closed①. Those men and women who climbed over the courtyard wall could only slap on the gate and windows in vain—the gate is as solid as a city. The door and the wooden window had been closed tightly long ago, and another window for fixing was closed from the inside, and it was firmly nailed with spikes.All the churches on the main road were originally designed as small fortresses as "the last bastion against the dark forces". As a port city, Taran is often attacked by typhoons. The churches here are even stronger and have been hit by many typhoons. Baptism still stands.How can these human flesh and blood be opened?

Samuel led a team of church guards in a small room next to the gate, which was originally a waiting room, but now it is a hiding room.Everyone was praying in low voices, praying that the Holy Spirit they didn't even know would keep them and their families safe.In order not to look different, Samuel could only kneel down on one knee with his eyes closed and recite passages from the scriptures to the little god in the waiting room like everyone else, but in fact his heart was blank.

The gods of this world are nothing more than higher creatures who manipulate human beings to fight for their own interests. Naturally, what they care about is the great figures among human beings who can bring them more benefits. Those little people, those gods would not even roll their eyes to give alms... Samuel, who considers himself a little person, has never asked God, no matter in his past or present life.Life and death are spelled out with one's own hands, not by asking God.If he can't spell it out, he will try his best. Although he regrets not being able to taste the taste of emotion, he will die as long as he dies. He has nothing to give up.

Samuel, who was calm and focused, didn't know that his body was covered with a layer of white light at this time, and the phantom of the angel that once appeared in the church in Julian City appeared on him again...

Of course, this vision has been noticed by other soldiers, but these are either from the nursery school, or because of the firm belief in the holy god, the soldiers who joined the church did not exclaim, but immediately assigned half of them to guard Looking at Samuel to prevent him from being disturbed, the other half called Ryan who was calming the people in the auditorium as quickly as possible!

After a long time, Samuel also felt that something was wrong. Why was he the only one who was reciting in a low voice?

But when he opened his eyes, what he saw was not the gray walls in the waiting room, but a pure white space, with a silver-haired angel standing in front of him...

Samuel froze for a moment, his eyes full of doubts. He never dreamed of sleeping, let alone dreaming of angels, and he was sure that he never fell asleep, but what happened now?

The author has something to say: ① Everyone should have seen "Notre Dame de Paris" Quasimodo protects Esmeralda, using the right of asylum in the church, also known as the right of asylum.That is to say, anyone who enters the church, no matter what crime he has committed, cannot be further investigated by local officials.But if the prisoner walks out of the confines of the church, it can be pursued further.

The right of asylum in the church is not only because of the awe of religion by the secular power holders, but also because of the power of the church itself.Most of the churches in that period were the most gorgeous and sturdy buildings in the town except the lord's castle and the royal palace, and the Holy See itself had an army, coupled with God's huge appeal to the secular world, so it had authority over secular power .

PS: Buddhism in some dynasties in ancient China actually had similar asylum rights, that is, after becoming a monk, the government will no longer pursue the person's crimes.

However, the monks and Taoists in ancient China did not randomly find a temple and say that I want to become a monk like the one on TV, and I will shave your head or change your clothes, and you will become a monk.

In all dynasties and dynasties, monks must have a "degree certificate", which is the monk's ID card.Moreover, in some dynasties, the acquisition of degree certificates was actually stricter than the Jinshi examination.
