"We just came up from here? Should I go down this way now? Or go up from there? ”

Morris stood on the bridge in a daze, staring at the fork in front of him, completely unsure of what to do. At first, these paladins didn't pay attention to the words of the gatekeepers, after all, in their opinion, the lord's manor was in the middle, and everyone could see it. If you walk along the bridge that stretches in that direction, you'll be able to get there. What Maurice didn't expect was that it was a labyrinth, and he had never been able to go down the bridge with the Templar delegation. And those forks in the road are also inexplicable, weird, and sometimes you go up from this side and you find yourself on the next floor. And when you were about to turn back again, you found yourself running on another bridge. In the end, Morris was ruthless and decided to go directly to the center of the bridge, but when he reached the end, he found helplessly that he had walked to another bridge......... And when Morris was about to turn back, he found that he had completely forgotten which fork they had come from just now, on the left? Or is it the one on the right?

If it weren't for the fact that Maurice really didn't feel any magic fluctuations, he wouldn't even have wondered if he had fallen into some kind of large illusion. Otherwise, how could there be such an unreasonable path in this world? Is this still a human walk? Turning all the way, not only Maurice was extremely tired, but even most of the other paladins were extremely tired, of course, this was all mental exhaustion. Although there are various symbols on these bridges, Morris and the others are new to the city, and they don't understand what the signs on them mean. Earlier, they had seen a large house sign painted on the sign in front of them. I thought it was leading to the lord's residence, but I didn't find it until I followed the sign to the place. It turned out that there was a way to the cemetery.

"Anyway, let's go back first............"

Even if it's a paladin. At this time, he was also a little exhausted, Morris grabbed his hair helplessly, then turned his head to look at the upward fork, and then waved his hand to set off. But at this time, a paladin beside him said timidly.

"Captain, that road leads to the bridge below......... You're on the wrong track............"

“……………”

After much effort, the crowd finally left the passage that had made them dizzy. After suffering hardship, Morris finally let go of the arrogance in his heart, and after asking the residents here for help, he finally got out of this terrible labyrinth and came to the business district of the new city. It was also the first area of the city of Passus to develop. After all, building a new city requires all kinds of materials, and naturally it needs an area for integrated trading. Therefore, the business district is also the fastest growing area at present, and when Morris and his family walked off the bridge in disgrace, they saw a prosperous and orderly scene. In the white stone square, the green grass and beautiful fountains form a picturesque landscape. There is no noisy crowd to be seen here, on the contrary, the people who pass by, although they are in a hurry, but they all have a clear goal. In this way, they continue to flow through the streets, bringing new vitality and prosperity to the city.

And that's not all. After Morris's observation, he also found that all the buildings here are in order, and there is no sense of chaos in other cities. It's no wonder that most of the cities on the Klein continent started out as just a small gathering area, and later more people came. It gradually became a city. There is certainly no planning in this process, at most it is categorized by nature. The aristocratic and commercial districts are better, but the civilian districts are basically scattered sand. But in this new city, the situation is completely different. All areas are planned, and everyone must move within the planned area. This is one of the reasons why the city looks so well organized. And what made Morris even more curious. In the city, he finally saw the pillars used to support the bridge, but they were different from ordinary pillars. These pillars were built in the form of tall towers, which means that they were used not only to support the bridge, but also to live in people.........

"Anyway, it's getting late now, let's find a place to rest."

Retracting his gaze, Maurice rubbed his eyes, he felt that he had seen more things in one day today than he had seen in the previous twenty years, which made him more and more curious about the Pachanon family, originally before coming here, Morris only thought that Pachanon was a rich landowner, but now after seeing the city with his own eyes, he no longer thinks so. You must know that the family that can build such a city is definitely not easy to mess with, after all, there is no lord in the entire continent who can do this now. So he had secretly decided to adjust his original goal no matter what. Not being able to follow Edward's old stubbornness to listen to the wind and rain and fight against such a family is definitely not a good thing for the Templar Order.

Hearing Morris's words, everyone else nodded, not even Archbishop Edward, who was gloomy all the way. After all, in the past half a day, their time has basically been spent walking from this side of the bridge to the other side of the bridge, coming up and down, going down and coming up, and they are already bored. It's also exhausting at this time, so finding a place to rest now is the key. So there was no objection to Morris's proposal, but it was quickly passed unanimously. Then, led by Morris, the group walked to an inn called "Bauhinia Flower" located not far from the business district.

However, just as the Paladins were about to enter the hotel, they encountered a small accident. There was a small commotion in the inn at this moment, and then I saw several guards in armor walking out of the crowd, holding a little boy in shabby clothes, who was desperately struggling to break free from the guards, while shouting something. The people around didn't care about it, only a few people gathered around curiously to watch. And in the midst of their words, Morris also understood what had happened, and it turned out that the boy was a thief. He snuck into the inn, intending to steal something from the travelers. Unfortunately, he found the wrong target and was caught by a nearby adventurer. The stolen goods were handed over directly to the patrol.

Morris doesn't have any thoughts about this kind of thing, after all, this kind of thing happens everywhere, especially within the Skal Federation, and some refugees who can't afford to eat even dare to rob them. In the face of the group of refugees who looked yellow and thin, trembling with wooden sticks in their hands, Morris was really entangled whether to fight or not. But fortunately, at least there is no such thing in the territory of Passus, and from this point of view, the security of this territory is still very good, of course. Petty theft can be done everywhere and cannot be prohibited. From these onlookers, Morris also inquired about the punishment of these thieves, and learned that if they were caught, they would be judged according to the amount of wealth they had stolen, and then they would be given a meal of boarding, and then sent to the quarries and lumberyards for labor education. Although it was a bit harsh for such a child, Morris didn't care. You must know that there is no uniform punishment law on the Klein continent. Crimes such as theft are in some places dragged out and hanged in public, and in other places they are cut off by cutting off hands and feet. Relative to them. Passus wasn't so cruel in this regard, so Maurice didn't intend to intercede for the thief either.

And just as Morris was about to turn around and leave to check in, suddenly, Archbishop Edward, who had been silent, spoke.

"Morris. You go and bring that little guy here. ”

"Your Excellency?"

Hearing Archbishop Edward's sudden opening, Morris's heart sank, but he still stubbornly asked.

"What are you going to do? You must know that the other party is a thief......... And even if you get caught. The punishment is not severe........."

"Hmph, in the face of such a young child. He has such a heavy hand, how can I not care about such a thing? ”

At this moment, Archbishop Edward seems to have eased up. I saw him with a calm face, staring at the boy who was crying under the suppression of the guards.

"You see how old he is, he must have been forced to make such a desperate move because of his livelihood. These children should be entrusted to us in the Templar Order, and it is up to us to guide them away from evil and on the path to good and righteousness. ”

"This ..............."

In response to Archbishop Edward's speech, Morris was completely speechless. He lowered his head, and once again scolded the archbishop who sent this old stubborn to visit Passus with him one by one, and then nodded helplessly.

"Okay, archbishop, I'll try it."

With that, Morris came up to the patrolling soldiers and blocked their way.

"Wait a minute, guys."

"What's the matter with you?"

Seeing the paladins blocking in front of them, these patrol soldiers were also stunned. It's not that they haven't seen paladins, but what is the situation now?

"That's ........."

While stomping Archbishop Edward on his heart for one hundred and eighty-seven feet, Morris said with a helpless wry smile.

"As for the thief you've caught, can you hand him over to our Templar Order?"

"Over to you? Why? ”

Hearing Morris's words, the soldiers looked at each other even more.

"That's right, you see, he's not very old, and the reason why he did such a thing is probably a last resort. Our Bishop Edward considers this child to be a malleable talent, and therefore we hope that you will hand him over to our Templar Order so that we can guide him to the path of faith. ”

"This ..............."

Faced with Morris's request, the patrol soldiers were clearly a little overwhelmed. They've never encountered anything like this, a paladin, actually asking them to spare a thief? Of course, the thief was a little younger, but .........

"No way!!"

Before the patrol soldier could say anything, a crisp voice rang out. Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see that at some point, a girl in a black robe walked over with a gloomy face. She frowned, glared at the thief, and then at the patrolling soldiers.

"Sister Irnest said that this man broke the law and must be punished. Take him to the prison in the second district and then send him to the lumber yard for labor reform. With that, the girl frowned again and glanced at Maurice. This is our Passus territory, and it's not the Templar's turn to dictate here! ”

Hearing the girl's words, Morris shrugged helplessly, but didn't say anything. With his identity, of course, it is impossible to deal with a girl. And he could see that this girl was probably extraordinary, as could be seen from the uniform she wore and the attitude of the patrol soldiers towards her. Besides, what the other party said was right, this was the territory of the Passus, not the territory of the Templar Order, and this was just an ordinary arrest crime, and it didn't involve any bullying and goodness, so he didn't want to care about it in the first place. Hearing the girl say this at this moment, Morris immediately flashed to the side automatically and stopped talking.

Now that they had been instructed, the soldiers no longer hesitated, but dragged the thief away. However, at this moment, the thief was obviously very unhappy, he had hoped that the people of the Templar Order would be able to save him, but he did not expect to end up like this, and immediately scolded the girl, and a series of expletives burst out. And hearing his insults, the girl's face also changed several times, and then she walked in front of the other party, and slapped the thief in the face, saying that it is strange that after the girl slapped down, the thief was immediately paralyzed, looking at him seemed to be extremely tired and sweating, and the previous words were naturally no longer scolded.

"Take him away."

After making sure that the thief was no longer babbling, the girl nodded in satisfaction, and then gave the order and prepared to turn away. And at this moment, suddenly, Archbishop Edward, who had been silent, suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed.

"God's Forsaken!! She's a god-outcast!! ”

"God's Forsaken?"

Hearing Archbishop Edward's exclamation, Maurice was stunned, but before he could think anything more, the archbishop suddenly raised the scepter in his hand.

"God's outcasts are the sons of evil who have been forsaken by God! There is no place for you sons of evil in the light of our divine light, Steve, seize the Godforsaken and purify her at once!! ”

"Wait a minute, Lord Bishop!"

Hearing Archbishop Edward's words, Morris was suddenly startled and hurriedly stepped forward to try to stop him. But before he could finish speaking, he saw a man next to Archbishop Edward wrapped in a robe suddenly struck out and rushed towards the girl not far away! (To be continued......)
