- This guy Wang Shan unexpectedly brought back a nun.
After Zhao Hongyu arrived at the top floor, he told Sara about this matter.
After hearing Zhao Hongyu say this, Sarah¡¯s face initially showed no emotion.
Because Sarah, who has lived in France for a long time, knows that those people in the church are all hypocrites.
Therefore, it is not surprising that nuns were sold into slaves.
¡°In short, there is nothing the church can¡¯t do for those people.
There is nothing they can¡¯t do except what you can¡¯t think of.
"General Wang Shan will not be deceived. Maybe the slave trader just found a random woman and dressed her in a nun's costume."
Sarah smiled and said to Zhao Hongyu.
¡°Hmm, it¡¯s possible.
Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu pondered for a moment.
However, when he thought of the cold look on Jenny¡¯s face, the weird look in her eyes, and the aura exuding from her body, he felt that Sara¡¯s guess was not very reliable.
Because the aura of Jenny is not something ordinary people can possess.
Judging from this, Wang Shan cannot be deceived.
¡°Besides, Wang Shan is not an idiot, he also has his own judgment.
You must know that among the genetic people under his command, Wang Shan, Zhang Tie and Song Hu are the smartest.
¡°The three helpers I rely on most now are the three of them.
At the same time, I did not see any intellectual flaws in Wang Shan, so it was impossible for Wang Shan to be deceived by the slave trader.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongyu said to Sara: "I don't think Wang Shan was deceived. And according to what he said, this nun was originally affiliated with the Inquisition of the Church and was also a very powerful assassin."
When Zhao Hongyu said the information that Wang Shan relayed to him, Sara, who was still smiling, suddenly froze.
Then, a look of fear spread across her face.
¡°What¡what¡what, the sect¡the Inquisition!¡±
Sarah¡¯s voice suddenly became sharp.
The women around her all turned to look at her.
Sarah knew that her reaction was a bit extreme, so she took a few deep breaths to calm her heartbeat.
Then, she lowered her voice and looked at Zhao Hongyu with a very serious expression: "Is everything you said true? My dear, this is no joke."
Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t know who he was and couldn¡¯t say anything, but Sarah knew very well about the Inquisition.
This organization affiliated with the church is actually an organization that specializes in rooting out dissidents for the church and killing those with different ideas.
Especially when it affects the dominance of the church, this organization will take action.
At the same time, the Inquisition was usually a place that frightened people.
Its name is a household name in Europe.
How many people were imprisoned in the Inquisition and never came out alive.
How many people were subjected to inhuman abuse and torture in the Inquisition.
What makes the Inquisition so frightening, in addition to its torture methods, is their right to decide whether a person is a heretic.
Yes, heresy.
On the European continent, anyone who disobeys the church or does not believe in ¡®God¡¯ will be regarded as a heretic.
As long as someone is labeled as a heretic, that person usually ends up very miserable.
One of Sarah¡¯s cousins ??was once arrested by the Inquisition on suspicion of heresy and sent to a local branch of the Inquisition, where she suffered humiliation, torture and inhuman abuse.
In the end, after his family paid a large bribe, the cousin regained his freedom.
However, her cousin was tortured to the point of being reduced to a human form, and died half a year after being rescued.
Even though he died, his cousin was not cleared of suspected heresy charges.
¡°As for what happened to her cousin, Sarah knew the reason very clearly.
She is just a cousin who is favored by a high-level church official. She hopes to have a close relationship with her but is rejected by her cousin, so she holds a grudge against her.
Therefore, the people who passed the Inquisition organized a crime to arrest the cousin and then tortured her.
As for her cousin¡¯s matter, her parents approached many nobles, and they allDare to help.
It can be seen how scary the name of the Inquisition is.
It is already the seventeenth century. This would have been even more terrifying if it had been placed in the Middle Ages.
Today in the European countryside, people from the Inquisition will from time to time falsely accuse some poor women of being witches and then burn them to death.
Such things happen endlessly.
It is precisely by relying on this method that the Inquisition has become synonymous with terror in the minds of the people.
Zhao Hongyu looked at Sara, whose face was pale with fright. He raised his hand and touched her cheek gently, comforting her not to be so scared.
"Yes, the people from the Inquisition are very powerful assassins. What does it matter? No matter how powerful they are, I won't be afraid of them, right?"
¡°You don¡¯t understand, you don¡¯t understand their horror.¡± Sara said to Zhao Hongyu in a low and anxious tone.
Zhao Hongyu curled his lips, looking very unconcerned.
"Even if they are very powerful, what can they do to me on the American continent? You know, outside of Europe, the church is nothing."
Yes, the church today is only rampant on the European continent, and is far less powerful than in later generations.
Of course, there were church forces in the colonies of the Spaniards and the Dutch in Central America.
However, because of the emergence of Zhao Hongyu, the churches in these colonies are about to come to an end.
"The church will open churches in the Americas, and their people will also go to the Song Empire in America. There are Europeans working in your country, so they can easily land in the Americas."
Sarah stuttered and said to Zhao Hongyu.
Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu laughed.
"This kind of thing is impossible to happen, and we have always been vigilant about the church. To be responsible, my men have already started a series of attacks on the church."
Although Zhao Hongyu said so, Sarah's worry still did not diminish.
"Okay, she's just a nun from the church. You don't have to worry so much. If you knew why she became a slave, you wouldn't care too much about it."
After thinking about it, Zhao Hongyu felt that Sara might think that this nun was not caught by slave traders and sold here.
¡°As everyone knows, the most fundamental reason why this nun became a slave was because of the betrayal by the church¡¯s top brass.
If Sara knew this fact, she probably wouldn¡¯t be so scared and worried.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongyu told Sara the reason behind this.
¡°As for Sarah, as she listened to Zhao Hongyu explain the dirty reasons behind this, her eyes opened wider and wider, looking very unbelievable.
Zhao Hongyu could tell that Sarah was really shocked by the reasons behind this nun who was sold into slavery.
¡°It¡¯s unbelievable that the church has fallen so far.¡±
After listening to Zhao Hongyu¡¯s narration, Sara took out a long breath and said faintly.
Yes, Sara had no idea that the church was now using it to betray even its own members of the Inquisition.
If it were ordinary nuns in the monastery, Sara would not be so surprised.
After all, the nuns in ordinary monasteries are the refuges for the mistresses of some great nobles.
So, the women there basically don¡¯t have any good stuff.
But the Inquisition is completely different. The people here work wholeheartedly for the church and deal with heretics.
It can be said that he is an absolutely loyal thug of the church.
But no one would have thought that the church could actually betray this loyal subordinate.
It¡¯s really unexpected.
Sarah felt like the world she knew was about to collapse.
Zhao Hongyu looked at Sara¡¯s expression and held her hand.
"There's nothing strange about this. Those people in the church are not good people to begin with, so it's not surprising that they would do such a thing. And didn't I say before that the church's senior leaders wanted to insult this nun, but she refused. That's all. But the ugly behavior of this high-level official must have fallen into the eyes of this nun, so he has to get rid of this nun for the sake of his own reputation."
Although Zhao Hongyu heard this reason from Wang Shan, after her own judgment, she probably couldn't be more different.
Otherwise, why would the higher-ups of the church have to deal with this nun?
¡°Perhaps, the threat this nun poses to the higher-ups of the church is far more than this.
¡°Otherwise, he would not have colluded with Arab slave traders to bring this nun to Egypt.
This side is definitely not simple.
¡°It¡¯s just that neither Wang Shan nor the Arab slave trader knows.
But no matter what, the nun is now in Zhao Hongyu's hands, and he has plenty of time to get the information he wants from her.
¡°He can afford the time anyway, can¡¯t he?
"You don't have to worry too much. I said that our base is in America, and the power of the church is not very strong in America at all. And we are also restricting the power of the church now, so they are in our country in America. There¡¯s no chance of any storm coming.¡±
Zhao Hongyu is still not very clear about what is happening in the Americas.
If he knew that Zhang Tie had dealt with the priests in Manhattan, he would be more confident now.
But after all, the communication methods in this era are not as powerful as those in later generations.
Therefore, it is normal for Zhao Hongyu not to have much news from Manhattan in America.
After listening to Zhao Hongyu¡¯s words, Sarah¡¯s nervousness slowly eased.
Yes, Zhao Hongyu is right.
At least it seems right to Sara.
No matter how powerful the church is, it is still in Europe.
In America I guess I can only say 'hehe'. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!) - Didn't finish reading?
