Chapter 5 Holy Swordsman

After leaving the apartment safely, Renne walked all the way, throwing the bag in his hand into the roadside trash can five blocks away.

After walking for a while, he entered a station, and not long after, a bus came and stopped on the side of the road.

A lot of white smoke came out from the rear of the car. Its appearance is similar to that of the buses on the earth, but it is larger and simpler. It is divided into two floors, with no glass windows and air conditioning. If it is all crowded, it can take hundreds of people.

Rennes squeezed into the car, took out a copper liscope that had been prepared from his pocket and handed it to the ticket seller.

The ticket seller was a middle-aged woman. She tore off a ticket and handed it over, her eyes stopped on Renne's face, and a smile appeared on her originally expressionless face: "Young man, there is still a seat behind her, please come in quickly."

"Thank you." Ren nodded slightly and lowered the sun hat a little.

He squeezed into the back of the carriage, thinking that sometimes it is not a good thing to be too handsome, but he is easily noticed when he needs to be low-key.

"It seems that it is necessary to make some disguise on your face to avoid being too eye-catching."

As soon as Rennes sat down, the driver shaking the big bell at the front of the car, making a "dangdang" sound to remind passers-by to avoid it, and then the car body shaking and the speed gradually accelerated.

The bus heads eastward and the end is in the poorest area of ​​the city of Rinflar, Longsand, and is despised as a slum by the citizens.

In the early days, most of the residents of the Ryan District were country people who had just entered the city to make a living. They could not afford the high rent. They worked in factories during the day and could only live in the most remote places in the city at night. Over time, a slum area was formed.

No matter which world is in, poor areas are always a breeding ground for criminals.

Ryan is the largest district in Longshande, located in the east of the city, accounting for almost one-third of the city, but the security is the worst in Longshande. Various wanderers, gang members, criminals, unemployed vagrants and hundreds of thousands of poor people live in mixed together. Many dangerous people lurk in it. There are murders happening almost every day, not to mention that countless shameful transactions also happen here.

No one with a little decent desires to live in Rinflar.

This is exactly the purpose of Renne. He does not want to be recognized by his former classmates and friends, and then the news leaks to Ramsey. Those who can enter the academy have no financial conditions and rarely go to dangerous slums.

I'll hide in Rinflar for a while, so that it will be convenient for me to act in the future.

His eyes swept over the car.

Because it was not the peak period, the car was not full, and most of the passengers were dressed in a simple and shabby manner to be precise. Everyone felt a deep sense of fatigue, sitting there with a numb look on their faces, as if they were tortured by hopeless life and lived hard.

Renne withdrew his gaze, leaned against the rusty backrest, squinted his eyes to rest.

Soon after, the car drove into the Ryan area.

The scene on the street gradually became monotonous, the roads became narrower, the houses became denser, and the streets were hustle and bustle. Various vendors were crowded with the streets, hoarsely selling their things, bread, cigarettes, fruits, beer, newspapers... and many common goods.

There are homeless people everywhere under the corners of the street.

They were not covered in clothes, some were sitting there begging, some were lying on the ground motionless like corpses, but no passerby was concerned about it.

The car driver kept shaking the bell to let the crowded pedestrians make way.

Even when I was sitting in the car, I could smell the stench from the street from time to time. The smell came from the drainage ditch on the side of the road, which made people vomit, but the passengers had long been used to it, and no one even complained.

Renne didn't get to the last stop and got off the bus halfway.

As soon as they got out of the car, seven or eight ragged children surrounded them. They all had pale faces and thin skin, and their eyes were full of desire and cunning.

Renne was not sympathetic. It was estimated that few of these begging children were pure and more or less part-time pickpockets. He held down the money he had hidden with his body without revealing his traces, and while he was not completely surrounded, he accelerated his pace and ran out of the station and threw away the group of children.

He walked along the street carefully, preparing to find a cheap hotel to stay as his place to stay.

Walking on the streets of the Ryan District, Rennes’ biggest feeling is that there are many people and people everywhere.

This reminded him of the Indian slum videos he had watched online before. They were also crowded with people, and they were stared at by pairs of malicious eyes everywhere they went, which made people feel sad.

However, even in another world, the Ryan District is much better than the slums in India.

At least among the three "dirty, messy, poor", the Ryan area only accounts for the chaos and difference, not that dirty.

Suddenly, a clearing area appeared at the intersection in front.

It was a small square, and on one side of the square stood a towering church. The church was not large in size. Two rows of tall circular columns on the front were neatly arranged, and the walls and domes were made of stones, giving people a sense of thickness and epic.

This is a church of the Church of Justice. There are many churches like this in Longshandri, and they are responsible for the scope by region.

"No wonder no one dares to get close to the square." Rennes suddenly realized.

The Empire had three official orthodox churches, one of which was the Church of the God of Justice.

Although the God of Justice does not have the most believers, this god is the most majestic. People admire and fear Him. If it is not necessary, they try not to deal with His church.

Because the clergy of the God of Justice "Tirel" includes "justice", "order", "law", "justice" and "guardian", most of His believers are engaged in judicial and policing related work.

Usually, those who are related to the Justice Church are either victims or judged.

No matter what the situation is, it is not a good thing, so people naturally stay away from it.

In addition to the Justice Church, the other two orthodox churches in the empire are the "Church of Knowledge and Magic" of the Magic Goddess and the "Church of Earth" of Mother Earth, which are ranked as the Church of the Three Gods.

Most of the people of the empire believed in one of these three gods.

The Rennes family is a believer of the goddess of magic. In my memory, her mother Malinda is a devout loyal believer. She prays to the goddess every day before dinner or occasionally when she has free time. She is a teacher at the church school in her hometown and a missionary, spreading the light of the goddess's wisdom to the students.

However, Rennes seemed not very pious to believe in the goddess before, and he prayed very few times, and he only prayed every ten days and half a month.

When passing by the square, Renn looked inside the church.

He was about to withdraw his gaze, and just at this moment, a loud bell rang out from the top of the church, and it was heard far away.

At the same time, a team of guards in bright silver armor came out from the main entrance of the church, walked down the stone steps step by step, making loud and neat footsteps, and came to the square.

Such a big noise immediately caused the pedestrians on the street to stop and gather towards the square.

"What happened?"

Rennes stood like everyone else, watching all this curiously.

There were more and more people around the square, and soon they were crowded. Rennes stood in the front position and couldn't squeeze out even if he wanted to leave. He was forced to become a member of the onlookers.

The guards in silver armor spread out in the middle of the square. Their armor reflected light, and the long swords were stationed on the stone floor, pressing their hands against the end of the hilt, motionless, like statues, emitting a sense of solemnity and majesty.

Rennes was only a few steps away from the guards, so he took the opportunity to observe them.

The guard's armor is a full-body armor, which is extremely well-made and forged with complete metal plates. It is assembled from multiple parts, including breastplate, shoulder armor, arm guards, gloves, leg guards, combat boots, etc. The elbows and knee joints are connected by exquisite locks, and in addition, they are almost completely closed and have only a T-slit gap on the front. The entire set of armor is astonishingly heavy, like a can of iron.

Such heavy armor may even be a problem for ordinary people to wear it, but these guards move freely and stand there very easily.

This detail made Renne feel a powerful force and immediately remembered that these guards were the "Saint Sword Attendants" of the Justice Church.

The Church of Justice has an extremely powerful extraordinary profession called "Holy Swordsman". He usually wears heavy armor and is good at swordsmanship and the power of the mind.

Every holy swordsman was carefully cultivated by the church since childhood. They are the most loyal believers of the God of Justice. They execute the oracles of the God of Justice, maintain order, protect the law and justice, and are the spokespersons of the God of Justice in the mortal world!

Before becoming a Holy Swordsman, these people were called Holy Swordsmen.

The Holy Sword attendant is still an ordinary person, but after a long period of training, he has some strength stronger than ordinary people, as a reserve member of the Holy Swordsman, or as a guard of the church for life.

"when!"

Another bell rang out from the church, and a group of people walked out of it again.

The leader was a tall middle-aged man. He was also wearing full-body armor and a white cloak behind him, but he did not wear a helmet, which allowed people to see clearly.

He has a strong face, sharp eyes, short brown hair, short chin, very strong figure, steady and powerful steps, and a dignified posture when walking, which makes everyone who sees him think that this is a trustworthy person and can rely on.

The middle-aged man held a sword in his hand, which was a little longer and wider than an ordinary long sword, but it was not a two-handed sword. It seemed that he could hold a sword in one hand or hold it in both hands.

Renn noticed that there was a golden balance engraved on his breastplate, and the support shaft in the middle of the scale was a sword, with the tip of the sword facing downwards, inserted onto a code!

"This is the holy emblem of the God of Justice." Renne had seen this emblem before and recognized it at a glance.

People called out the middle-aged man’s name: “Mr. Demps!”

"The Holy Swordsman is so majestic..."

"Of course, Lord Demps is not an ordinary holy swordsman. It is said that he has already broken through to the middle level and may be promoted and transferred soon."

Demps followed two guards, carrying a black platform.

The platform is made of metal, only half a person tall, with a downward depression in the middle, covered with dark red color blocks, like blood stains left after something splashed.

As soon as the black platform came out, it immediately aroused the exclamations of the townspeople.

Someone next to him whispered in fear: "Guillotine! Judgment! Has anyone fallen? Or has someone cursed? "

Then people saw the answer.

A man with a depressed face was taken out by the guards. He was wrapped in a silver chain, tied his upper body tightly, tied his hands behind his back, and locked his feet in shackles. He walked down the steps in front of the church step by step.

"Ruys!"

Citizens in the crowd recognized the man tied up in chains.
