Anos then asked about the direction the peasants had left in and glanced at the knight.
The knight nodded, took out the communicator from his armor, and walked aside to contact other members of the Knights order.
Although he had seen it once, Luo Mi still felt that this scene was extremely inconsistent.
He thought for a moment and asked carefully: “Will those people be burned to death?”
Hearing this, John also raised his head and looked at Anos with some complicated expressions.
Anos shook his head: “Their crimes will be judged by the Inquisition.”
Luo Mi clicked his tongue, feeling a little pity.
The Inquisition, at first glance, sounded like a dark institution of the Holy See. Those who entered would most probably have to shed their skin even if they didn’t die.
Anos seemed to have seen through his thoughts: “In such small cases, as long as it is confirmed that they have not been corrupted by demons, the result is usually a few baptisms and confessions, and they will be returned to the original location after working for a period of time.”
John nodded, feeling a little reassured and a little disappointed.
After this time, he didn’t know if he could stay in the village and continue living.
He was just an orphan, and those people still had their relatives and friends; but if he left the village, where could he go?
Arnos reached out, gently touched John’s head, and said warmly: “You can come with us.”
The boy was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Anos in surprise.
“Suffering is sometimes not a completely bad thing. It will allow the beautiful jade that was originally buried in the mud to see the light of day again.” Anos stood up, with a pious smile on his beautiful face. “This is all God’s guidance, allowing me to find you here.”
Luo Mi stood aside and looked John up and down, and asked in his heart: “System, who is John?”
[No special features were detected.]
John hesitated: “I…?”
Anos smiled and reassured: “You are the born ‘Chosen One’, the messenger who selects innocent people for God. If you leave here, it will be a huge loss to them.”
Luo Mi was stunned: This term sounded familiar.
John was confused: “What is the ‘Chosen One’?”
Anos walked around and considered his words: “If the world is compared to sheep, then the Holy See is the ‘shepherd who guides the sheep to God’. But even so, the Holy See still only listens to God’s voice and can only judge who is ‘Guilty’, it is impossible to say who is ‘not guilty’.
“The ‘Chosen One’ plays this role, being able to decide who is truly innocent and has the right to enter Paradise without punishment when the Day of Judgment comes.”
Although John didn’t quite understand what was said before, his eyes brightened up a lot at the last sentence: “Can I enter the promised land?”
Anos nodded: “Not only can you enter Paradise, you can also decide whether others can enter Paradise.”
John was a child after all, so he jumped for joy, and then felt a little inferior: “But I don’t know anything except herding sheep…”
“The Holy See doesn’t need you to do anything. You just need to change your life and live a normal life. Everything is God’s arrangement.” Anos touched the child’s head. “Do you have anyone else you need to say goodbye to?”
John thought for a while and shook his head: “No one.”
Anos nodded and looked at the knight beside him.
The knight came over and held out his hand to John.
John was carried up and down by him before, so he was still a little afraid of this tall knight. He winced, but walked forward obediently and was held by the knight.
When the knight held John’s hand, Luo Mi heard the system’s electronic voice broadcast in his mind:
[Mission progress update: Help the Holy See find more “Chosen Ones” (1/?).]
[Progress update reward: 10 points.]
Before Luo Mi had time to be happy, Anos’s gaze turned to him.
Luo Mi couldn’t help but tense up, his tail stretched out straight, and he was frantically warning in his heart – his usefulness value was basically gone, and he suspected that Anos was going to purify him!
His mind was racing, and he was mentally tapping the system: “System system, what functions can be unlocked with 10 points?”
[Based on the current situation of the host, the system recommends using “identity copy”, which allows you to choose the identity of a person you have established contact with and copy it to yourself. However, this function has a time limit, and each point can make the status last for one minute.]
So expensive!
But he couldn’t care about so much at the moment. Luo Mi looked at the people around him from the corner of his eyes and decided whose identity he should copy.
He had a flash of inspiration: “I can directly copy the identity of the Holy Son, and then I am the Holy Son, and at the same time I am a devil. Can it be directly judged that my mission has been completed?”
[…What does the host think?]
“Well, it probably won’t work.” Luo Mi regretfully gave up the idea, “Then copy the ‘Chosen One’ into me.”
[Copying completed.]
Luo Mi’s communication with the system was completed in a flash. Before Anos could speak, Luo Mi rushed to say, “Your Highness, I think I might also be the ‘Chosen One’!”
The knight standing behind the Holy Son twitched his lips and almost said “nonsense”.
How could a devil be the “Chosen One”?
Anos’s handsome eyebrows frowned even more tightly this time.
Luo Mi felt sorry for his points – if he delayed longer, he would waste more points, and he could only use 10 minutes at most!
“You can check me the same way you checked John.” Luo Mi said sincerely, “Ever since I came to this world, I have occasionally heard some sounds. I think it may be a revelation from God.”
The sounds that demons could hear were probably the whispers of higher-level demons…
Anos stared at Luo Mi for a while, and the calmness in his blue eyes made Luo Mi’s heart beat fast.
Anos raised his hand, the cross emblem on the glove emitted a faint light, and lightly tapped Luo Mi’s forehead and shoulders.
Luo Mi only felt a burning pain where Anos had touched him, as if he had been gently licked by a flame, but fortunately it was not too serious.
Anos took back his hand and frowned even more: “It is indeed the ‘Chosen One’.”
The knight blurted out in shock: “Really?”
He reacted immediately and quickly lowered his head in front of Anos, “Sorry, Your Highness, I’m not questioning your test, I’m just too surprised.”
Anos nodded indifferently: “It’s really surprising – maybe this is God’s arrangement.”
The knight raised his head: “You mean to take him with you?”
Anos glanced at Luo Mi: “We will return to the Holy City all the way, and then ask His Majesty the Pope to check Ryan again.”
