Will he be the next person to be burned?
Xiao Yu successfully lived to adulthood with his own ability. By currying favor with the old priest, he became a mixed-race person in the town.
New priest.
Xiao Yu thought that this way he would be safe.
But the status of the small town priest does not seem to be very high.
After being slapped twice by a nobleman in front of everyone, Xiao Yu covered his stinging face and realized that
It’s not enough, he will still be bullied.
He had to climb higher.
At the age of nineteen, Xiao Yu used his connections and bribed his way into becoming a priest in a port town.
This town was more developed and richer, and he wanted to make money there, save up money for gifts, and enter the Central Church.
The priest in this world is equivalent to the manager of a region.
The highest-ranking priest in a village is roughly equivalent to the village chief. In a small town, he is roughly equivalent to the mayor.
Although there are nominal town mayors and village chiefs, the priests have to suppress them.
In order to gain more power, Xiao Yu spent a lot of money and gave a lot of gifts.
Not long after, a new pope came to power and strictly prohibited the acceptance of bribes. All the old ways were no longer feasible.
Someone told Father Yu a way. In addition to spending money to buy an official position, he could also be promoted through formal channels.
Every five years, the church recognizes believers who have made great contributions to society.
As long as Father Yu can find a way to gain great merit for himself before the next commendation begins, he will have the opportunity to move up a level.
Lift.
It just so happened that the country was suffering from an epidemic at that time, and there were a large number of missing persons cases.
In order to catch up with the commendation meeting five years later and to gain more rights, Father Yu found an excuse to go to the nearby
A large town, investigating the source of the plague and searching for missing people.
Father Yu grew up helpless and struggled all the way to the age of nineteen. His abilities far exceeded those of his peers.
After secretly investigating in the town for half a year, Father Yu uncovered many secrets.
For example, the local church has invested in several large factories in the town.
For example, there is a large amount of Qing□□ water of unknown origin on the black market nearby.
Father Yu consulted pharmacists and alchemists to examine the potions. They found that the main ingredients were the flesh and souls of living people.
This was a very important clue, but Father Yu did not tell anyone, nor did he report it to the local church.
He had realized that the church was behind the plague and the disappearance of people.
Half a month ago, Father Yu followed the clues and found a secret alchemy room.
The boy who silenced people.
He is a small carpenter from a nearby village. Some time ago, his elderly mother was posting missing person notices everywhere.
Father Yu was unable to revive him, but he knew how to summon his soul.
Creatures in Hell can see the dead, and demons can find souls lost in the human world.
When Father Yu rushed over, the poor boy had just died. His light green eyes were wide open, filled with hatred and
Unwilling.
The young carpenter could not let go of his mother and the little nun he had a crush on. He suffered great fear and was filled with anger before his death.
This kind of soul will not take the initiative to step into the gate of hell.
If it is not purified by a passing priest or paladin, it will remain next to the corpse for a week.
As the sun rose on the eighth day, it turned into foam and completely disappeared.
The little carpenter must have seen something very important before he died.
Father Yu didn't want to give up this opportunity and would do anything to gain power.
After a day of hesitation, Xiao Yu decided to summon the demon.
For clergy, this kind of knowledge is taboo, and Father Yu only knows a little bit.
As he prepares a ritual to summon a demon, his covert investigation into the plague and missing persons is exposed.
Someone stole all his documents and the local police arrested him on the charge of "unidentified and suspected fugitive".
Come.
There was no interrogation, no formal procedures, and the police wanted to deal with him secretly.
During the few days he was detained in the police station, Father Yu was subjected to inhuman torture.
He was whipped until he passed out and then poured with cold water to wake him up.
Use a long needle with a curse to carve marks on his body. Even if the police go to rest, he will be tortured by the curse.
To the point of unconsciousness.
Father Yu was very handsome, and several policemen had their eyes on him.
But the town he chose was relatively conservative in its thinking.
Even with the development of racial integration, many areas no longer discriminate against people of mixed races.
I believe that mixed-race people are born unclean and their bodies are uglier and dirtier than beggars in the slums.
He was too dirty and smelly for them to eat.
On the fourth day, Father Yu found an opportunity and escaped from the police station. He was shot several times during his escape.
He had no way of escaping from this town and returning to his own town.
So Father Yu ran to his temporary place, an abandoned two-story building.
There is a summoning circle he drew in advance in the attic. As long as he successfully summons the devil, he can survive today.
Father Yu quickly lit all the candles, cut his wrists according to the procedure, and used his blood to feed the summoning circle.
The ceremony ended, but the summoning circle didn't react at all.
Listening to the noisy shouts downstairs and looking at the dim summoning circle, Father Yu was completely desperate.
Maybe he was too anxious and something went wrong.
It may also be that even the devil felt that his body was lowly and dirty and was unwilling to make a deal with him.
In order to summon the devil, Father Yu used up the last bit of his strength.
Driven by the desire to survive, he staggered towards the pile of junk in the attic, trying to hide himself behind it.
