"Are you OK!"

Seeing Omega go away, Ron asked Catherine with concern.

When Catherine moved, a sharp pain came from her broken arm, causing her to break out in a cold sweat. She shook her head in the pain, and said softly, "I still can't die!"

She smiled at Ron, "Thank you, Ron, if you hadn't come to save me, I'm afraid I'd be dead today, those guys won't let me go!"

Thinking of when it fell into Tommy's hands, Catherine was filled with fear. She was not afraid of death, but that Tommy would abuse her in various ways, which was worse than death for her.

Ron nodded and said with a smile, "What's the matter? You and I are also friends who are in trouble. Seeing that you have something to do, of course I won't leave you alone!"

Catherine couldn't help blushing when she remembered the scene of escaping with Ron in St. Paul, the imperial capital of the Holy Roman Empire. She glanced at Ron secretly, then lowered her head, looking a little embarrassed.

Ron looked at Catherine's distorted arm and frowned, "Is your arm really okay? It's hurt like this, and you don't need any treatment. Are you really not in pain?"

Catherine was already breaking out in cold sweat from the pain, and said with a wry smile, "I can only endure it, you are not a pastor, I will find a pastor for treatment when I go back to my sister..."

Ron smiled, "That doesn't have to be such a trouble, I can cure you..."

As he said that, Ron released the zombie Arya from the space bag. Under Catherine's surprised eyes, he used the healing technique. After a while, her injuries were completely healed. After seeing too much of Ron's miraculous abilities, Catherine was already surprised. Strange.

Compared to Aryan who could heal, Catherine was obviously more interested in Speck. She looked around Speck again and again, unable to move her eyes away.

"What a powerful battle puppet, it can actually release the domain..."

Ron smiled slightly, "It's just the strength of the great swordsman, so the domain released is not a complete domain, otherwise, the Beamon just now would not have been able to escape!"

"That's amazing!" Catherine exclaimed sincerely, "If only I had a battle puppet like this!"

Catherine sighed slightly in her heart, if she had such ability, she and her sister Juliana would not have to hide in hiding every day.

Just as they were talking, Vivienne ran over panting, not long after, and felt a little surprised when she saw the two of them.

Ron smiled, and walked up quickly, "Vivienne, you're back, I'm going to find you..." He introduced the two of them respectively.

"Hello!" Catherine nodded politely.

"Hello!" Vivienne also smiled and nodded at her, then turned to Ron and said, "Ron, where are we going now?"

Ron pondered for a while. Tommy had already escaped, and his identity was probably exposed. It stands to reason that he should go back to the Roland Empire now, but what about recruiting students

If you can't recruit students, it's tantamount to returning empty-handed. Ron's face is a little anxious, should he go back? Still not coming back

As if seeing through Ron's thoughts, Catherine smiled and said, "Ron, why don't you go to Manchester with me?"

"Manchester?" Ron asked in surprise, "What kind of place is this?"

"This is the base camp of our Ethiopian rebels!" Catherine thought for a while and replied.

"The Ethiopian Rebels?" Ron's eyes widened. "What am I doing there?"

"Aren't you going to recruit students? That's our territory. There are many teenagers there. I can make them your students..." Catherine said with a smile on her face.

"Really?" Ron's eyes lit up when he heard it, and now there is hope for enrollment...

The three left Colored Stone Fort, walked for several days, and finally came to a place called Dawn City.

"The City of Dawn is here, let's go in and have a rest!" Catherine pointed to the city exposed in the dense forest. Give off a bad smell.

"Okay!" Ron nodded in agreement.

Judging from the corner of the castle exposed in the dense forest, the City of Dawn is not a very big city, but more like a town.

"It used to be very prosperous here, but since the Holy Crusaders occupied it, it has become much more declining!" Catherine's eyes were a little sad.

Walking into the City of Dawn, Ron saw clearly the whole picture of the City of Dawn, which was once an important town in the southwestern part of the Kingdom of Ebia, with mottled walls, dilapidated and wide streets, and large tracts of abandoned houses. It presents a scene that was once rich but then declined.

What surprised Ron the most was that there were a large number of holy crusaders stationed here. They guarded the intersections of the streets in the City of Dawn with three steps and five steps, watching the passing people.

Looking at the heavily armed holy crusaders, the eyes of the people on the street were a little fearful, and the fear was filled with strong anger, like the turbulent undercurrent under the seemingly calm lake.

This is the city of dawn, a microcosm of the kingdom of Ebia after it was conquered.

"Stop, what are you doing?" Just as the three of Ron looked around, a voice shouted, the voice was full of indifference.

Several soldiers of the Holy Crusade came quickly, looking up and down the three of them with suspicious eyes.

Catherine's pupils shrank, and she lowered her head to prevent the other party from seeing her appearance. Ron understood, and walked forward with a smile, "Please accommodate the mercenaries we pass by!" The soldier handed it over.

There was a glimmer of light behind the mercenary medal, which was the light from the shiny gold coins, and this light illuminated the soldier's eyes.

The soldier's face softened a little now, and he took the mercenary medal calmly, pretended to pick up the medal and looked at it a few times, and then handed it back to Ron.

"Yes, it really is a mercenary, very good, you can go!" After speaking, he stuffed the gold coins into his clothes and walked away.

After the man went away, Catherine raised her head, looked at his back and cursed fiercely, "These scumbags will die sooner or later!" She turned to Ron and gave him a hard look. "Why do you say you gave him money? Burn too much money?"

Ron smiled and didn't answer. It's okay to spend a few small money to avoid trouble. For him, things that can be solved with money are not big things.

Walking through a street corner, a magnificent building appeared in front of the three of them.

"Holy Cathedral!"

Ron stared at this majestic and fortified building, and there was a strong murderous intent in his eyes. In his dream, he faintly felt that the disappearance of undead magic was related to the Holy See.

This holy cathedral is newly built, and it is the most magnificent building in the entire city of dawn. It is located in the center of the city of dawn. When Ron first saw this holy cathedral, he felt that it was a waste of money.

At this time, a disputing voice not far away caught his attention.

"You... what do you want to do?"

In a shop selling exotic animal materials, more than a dozen priests of the Holy See surrounded an old man in his sixties. Repressed anger.

The leading priest stood in front of the shop and said aggressively, "What do you want to do? You really don't know or you don't know, tell me, have you paid your faith tax?"

"I... I handed it in last month!" Surrounded by more than a dozen priests, the old man lacked confidence.

"Last month? What about this month?" the priest said coldly.

"My lord priest, last month's faith tax was 20 gold coins, but... but this month it suddenly rose to 40 gold coins... How can I afford it? My lord, I... my whole family still needs to eat ..." the old man complained.

"Eat? You don't have to pay belief tax when you eat? You don't need to believe in the God of Light when you eat? Let me tell you, the God of Light is above everything else. No matter where you are, the God of Light is watching you..."

The priest talked endlessly, his face was full of so-called piety, and his eyes widened at this moment, "It is stipulated in the holy doctrine that anyone who disrespects the God of Light is a heretic. I tell you that if you don't pay the tax of faith, you are disrespectful to the God of Light." Disrespect to God is heresy, believe it or not, I will set up the stake here and burn all you heretics to death?"

"Yes! Burn to death..." the other priests said viciously, staring at him with wolf-like eyes.

When the old man heard this, his body trembled violently. These crazy priests can do anything, as long as they are in the name of God.

"I... I..." The old man trembled and couldn't speak.

"It seems that you have no money to take out!" At this time, the priest in charge smiled coldly and said with a wave of his hand, "In this case, let's move all these exotic beast materials to fill up, and give me here by the way. smashed!"

"Yes!" More than a dozen priests responded in unison, and when they spoke, their eyes were full of greed.

Do it right away, outside the shop, more than a dozen priests rushed in, smashed it up, stuffed the refined animal materials on the shelf into the space bag one by one, and kicked them away at the same time. , Kick the shelves down.

"You...you can't do this..." The old man was in a hurry, he rushed towards the priests trembling, but was pushed down to the ground.

"Father... Father..." The young man beside him rushed to help his father up, staring at the priests with hatred in his eyes.

This... is simply naked robbery, or in the name of God, Ron was already trembling with anger, and he clenched his fists.

At this time, Catherine whispered, "These gangsters are the most hateful. They rob the residents of their property in the name of God, and they also force the businesses here to pay high taxes. They call it the 'faith tax'. The merchants are forced to leave, and they use these gold coins to build this holy cathedral."

"hateful!"

Seeing this scene, Ron was extremely angry, but now he knew that the Holy See was a giant to him, and crushing him was like crushing an ant. At this time, he could only hold back.
