Chapter 735: Temple Of The Law
Pov rica's:
After the master left with the others to visit some Temples and Churches, I called Elsaris to help me with something.
Now we were both sitting on a street bench as we looked at a white Temple with the image of chains, books, and a scale with a book on one side and chains on the other side of the scale.
The Priests of this Temple wear combat clothing rather than normal robes, all carrying manacles and chains.
"So it was them?" (I)
"Yes, I knew immediately when I spotted the first one looking down an alley." (Elsaris)
"Why is the Temple of the Law after us?" (I)
"So far we've been away from them, this must be the first time we've seen them in person." (I)
"Why are they watching our house?" (I)
I had placed several tracking curses around the mansion where we are staying, I know trouble always comes with the master, so I can't let my guard down.
Just as I thought, my curse had been activated a few times, but I'm not good at stalking or spying, so I asked Elsaris for help.
"These idiots are after us for being criminals." (Elsaris)
"I'm not a criminal." (I)
"Please, how many people have you tortured and killed alongside Lilith?" (Elsaris)
"They were trash." (I)
"This sucks." (I)
"I know, but I'm not blaming you, they would have come after us anyway." (Elsaris)
"All the Priests of the different religions have sensitive senses, in the case of Lilith it is revenge, in the case of these Priests of the Law it is crime." (Elsaris)
"I remember studying this in my childhood, but I heard it wasn't perfect." (I)
"Because escaping those senses of the law is easy, you just have to hire someone to do the dirty work for you, so that person will be breaking the law." (Elsaris)
"I've had a hard life and a flexible mind on how to deal with problems, but I'm sure you won't do anything to me, Priest." (Elsaris)
"Lucky for you."
"Unfortunately this island has its own rules that allow scum like you to walk through the crowd while we're forbidden to act."
"You must be careful what you say, Priest, the definition of scum varies greatly from person to person." (I)
"I can feel the criminal Aura emanating from you, an Aura like that means a very long list of crimes, at this point the only proof I need is a confession."
"Don't try to reason with rigid-minded people who think they're always right, it's always a waste of time and saliva." (Elsaris)
"Just stay away from us, we don't want trouble and I don't like causing trouble for the master." (I)
"Speak of the Heretic wanted by the Church of Light, that criminal one of these days will receive what he deserves."
"I'm sure he'll get what he deserves, like respect, admiration and a few other things that aren't polite to speak in public." (I)
"Keep mocking child, but you won't always be under the protection of this island."
"But at the moment they still are and I apologize for my intervention High Priest." (Alvin)
"You spend a lot of time intervening in our affairs, even when we never break the rules."
"That's because you always come dangerously close to breaking the rules while trying to mold them into something suitable for what you want." (Alvin)
"You dare say I don't follow the rules of this place?"
"I say you follow the rules but don't respect them, discussions about throwing you and your religion into the sea and kicking everyone out has been discussed more than once." (Alvin)
"The problem with things that are too rigid is that it's easy to get around them without breaking." (Elsaris)
"I think it would be to the benefit of the young ladies to go back to their homes, wouldn't you?" (Alvin)
"Yes, thank you very much for your help, Mr. Alvin." (I)
"I just do my duty." (Alvin)
"We will." (I)
Elsaris and I leave under the scowl of the High Priest of the Law, we head straight back to the mansion where we await the master's return to tell him about all this.
