Chapter 37 Day 3: The Love of the Imperial Rose [Part 1]

Hans was still a little emotional when he left.He excitedly praised Father Ace with the people around him, it was he who brought them new hope and a new life!Praise Father Ace!Praise the Chaos God!

They walked on the potholed path, and the surrounding houses were bungalows with black and gray as the main color. There were no extra patterns on the walls, only traces of embarrassment after being eroded by wind and sand.This is the way back home for these civilians.

This is a completely different view from the road leading to the castle where "valuable" is written all over the decoration.The new king raised taxes, squeezed more money and manpower from them, and thus built the luxurious road of Thudes.Thudis is the most famous tyrant in the legend, and eventually led to the demise of the prosperous empire.It is said that the treasures of Shudis were hidden in an unknown place back then, and those who can get those treasures have the ability to rule the entire continent.

But those things have nothing to do with them.They only know that the new system promulgated by the king is a system that treats civilians like them as human beings, but they can only complain in private before their patience reaches the limit.Who let the first ones all be killed by the king? No matter how difficult their life is, they can only endure it in order to survive.

But a fortnight ago everything was different.Specially came to their shabby streets to preach that Father Ace, the God of Chaos, gave them new hope.

For the first time, they know that their destiny can be controlled by themselves, and they can change their own destiny!And the priest himself is the prime example.As a discriminated black-haired man, through prayer and his own efforts, he finally changed from an inferior commoner to a noble priest!

The more excited Hans stopped, he suddenly remembered that he forgot to give him the thank you gift he planned to give to the priest.

"Uncle Hans, what's the matter?" The person next to him asked with concern.

"I have to go back and look for Father Ace." Hans hurriedly left the words, fearing that the priest had closed the church, Hans ran towards the church holding the extremely precious thumb-sized Rota stone in his hand.

This Rota stone was discovered when he was refining Roma stone.Roma stone is a specialty of Esculi, a stone that can be used to strengthen weapons.But when he refined a red Roma stone, he accidentally discovered the Rota stone wrapped inside.

The other name of Roma stone is small Rota stone, it will not change color, but after being refined, it will make people feel comfortable all year round.Perhaps, he accidentally discovered a big secret.He had to ask Father Ace!

Hans ran to the church with an indescribable mood. After taking a deep breath for a while, he was about to walk forward, but found the familiar executioners standing at the door—the king's personal guard.

He took a few steps back slowly, and after confirming that the other party couldn't see him, he quickly turned and ran to one side.It was a relatively hidden side door of the church, and people who didn't come often would never know that this was the place where the old priest secretly gave them relief.

Hans stooped from the side door to the window along a hidden path among the weeds.Afterwards, he would feel scared in retrospect. If he made a slight mistake at that time, he would be discovered by the king's people and his life might even be lost.But he actually took such a big risk just because he was worried about the safety of the priest and the others. From the window, he could vaguely see the scene in the center of the church.Father Ace was hugging Lord Michael tightly, and it took a long time before he let him go.Then, at the king—or maybe not the king, anyway, he had never seen what the real king looked like. Under the urging of the king, Father Ace squatted down and hugged little Catherine tightly.

Little Catherine was obviously agitated, and she gestured as if she wanted to make some big moves, but she was held firmly in the arms of the priest.Finally calmed down, probably under the reassurance of the priest, she hugged him back and ran to Michael, grabbing him.

Only then did the priest stand up, and he calmly walked towards the king's personal guard.

"Ace! You actually killed an entire village of innocent villagers! I will punish you in the name of the Duke of Glory! Deprive you of all priesthood! First put in prison!" The person who spoke was surrounded by the guards, and Han S can't see him.But he understood what he meant!

Father Ace is definitely not that kind of person!Hans was a little angry, but he had already passed that age of restlessness, and he still squatted under the window without making any noise or making any big movements.

Hans seemed to smile when he saw Father Ace, and walked towards them steadily. After being roughly caught, he was escorted out without any resistance.

Hans watched as the priest was pushed onto the carriage, surrounded by at least a dozen members of the SS.He suddenly thought of the old priest.That is a very kind and kind old man, who is his year-end friend.

He was still young when he met the old priest, and it was when he was most resentful of the various systems and living conditions in Esculi.He resented the system where everything was determined at birth, and he was unwilling to inherit his father's career as a blacksmith.It was the old priest who patiently relieved him and told him hopefully that there would be such a day.

Hans still remembered that the old priest had described a country called Sein to himself.It is a place of freedom, equality and peace.No one will worry about survival, everyone has their own special talents and their own special status.They are warm and friendly, aloof from the world, and there is no distinction between light and darkness.The only pity is that their fertility rate is very low, and the number of ethnic groups is extremely rare.

Hans shared this story with a traveler, but unfortunately the traveler obviously thought it was Hans' imagination, asked a few questions with great interest and found that Hans couldn't answer it, and then simply left.Hans felt that this was the real thing.In his eyes, the old priest has the same status as the priest Ace who brought him new hope. He is knowledgeable and has traveled to the mainland when he was young. The place he said must be real.

Think too much.Hans shook his head, watched the troops of the pro-guards go away before standing up and walking towards the main entrance of the church.He had to see how little Catherine was doing, this was the second time she saw someone she trusted was taken away, so don't leave any shadow behind.

For some unknown reason, foreigners and nobles frequently came to Cooley Church. Later, the old priest was arrested for collaborating with the enemy, and then the church was searched carefully by the king's army.Fortunately, by then little Catherine had been sent to another place.At that time, she seemed to be only three or four years old, and she didn't know why she had such a deep impression on the old priest.

At that time, the king was not the old king who had passed away, but was said to be the nephew of the old king.The old priest and the priest's friend died not long after the execution. The cause of death is unknown. Hans guessed that he might have been bitten to death by a snake—because people were catching snakes everywhere during that time.

After that, little Catherine seemed to have grown up overnight. The five or six-year-old girl lived alone in the church.Hans couldn't see it, and wanted to take her back, but was rejected by the little girl decisively.

And now...Little Catherine should be eleven or twelve years old. She met Father Ace. She thought she was finally redeemed, but...

Hans was hesitating in his heart. He wanted to rescue their spiritual leader, but his life of more than 40 years told him that fighting against the nobles would not end well. The priest could only pray for him.Fighting fiercely in his heart, Hans walked into the church hesitantly.

There was no serious and heavy atmosphere in the church as he had imagined. An adult and a child were confronting each other. Michel glared at Catherine, and Catherine looked back at him contemptuously as she stroked Seth on her hand.There seems to be no tension at all about the priest being taken away.

"It's been said that Ace hugged me obviously for a longer time, which means I'm more important!"

"It's not. The most important thing should be kept last, and I am the most important thing in the priest's heart!"

"Catherine!"

"Idiot! Don't you know that the priest despises you for being stupid!" Catherine snorted coldly, then turned her head to look at Hans, "Uncle Hans, what do you do?"
