I'm also trying to survive today [Western Fantasy]

Chapter 175 Dawn

Knowing that Owen was a paladin, Old Dick was very happy, and he warmly welcomed Julian and the two of them to live here as long as they wanted.

Julian thanked him politely, and then asked about this church.

The upper echelons of the Shatan Empire do not like the Church of the Holy Light, but it is not enough to force a church to such an extent, anyway, they want to save face.

After hearing Julian's question, Old Dick smiled wryly: "Actually...it's my fault."

"It's not your fault! Old Dick, you are a good man!" The boy who had just left didn't seem to have gone far. Hearing what Old Dick said, he immediately jumped out to deny it.

The smile on Old Dick's face was somewhat bitter, and he shook his head: "It's all my fault..."

"That's not true! If it weren't for you, old Dick, I would have died long ago, not only dead, but dead without a whole body!" The boy shouted loudly.

Old Dick lowered his face: "Dawn! Be careful!"

"I didn't talk nonsense!" Dawn, the boy, said angrily.

Julian felt that maybe he could get a more intuitive answer from the young Dawn, so he teased him and said, "I don't know if you're talking nonsense, why don't you just tell me? Maybe I can be a referee for you." ?”

"Okay!" Dawn agreed immediately.

Old Dick smiled helplessly: "He's a child..."

"It's because he's a child that he can't lie." Julian comforted him with a smile: "I can see that you have a peaceful personality and don't want to speak ill of others, but there are some things that need to be said and must be said."

Old Dick shook his head with a smile, but he didn't continue to stop Dawn.

Dawn was immediately encouraged, and told a good story about the tragedy of the church over the years.

Speaking of which, this matter really has a lot to do with Dawn.

About seven years ago, Dawn was only eight or nine years old at that time. His family was wealthy, and his father was a small team leader of a chamber of commerce. He worked diligently for many years, but he did not expect to encounter pirates during a long voyage.

The navy of the Shatan Empire is quite powerful, and there are them cruising near the general routes. Ordinary pirates dare not approach at all, but once they encounter it, it is often the kind of powerful pirate group.

Dawn's father encountered such a pirate group. The leader was powerful and cruel. The entire fleet was almost slaughtered. Only a few crew members escaped because they hid in the small warehouse in the kitchen. .

The loss of his father dealt a heavy blow to Dawn's family. His mother was already in poor health. After hearing the bad news, she became ill and died not long after.

Dawn lost his parents one after another, and his life fell into a difficult situation, but what he didn't expect, the escaped crew members even pointed out that his father was the internal agent of the pirates, and was later killed by the pirates because of the uneven distribution of spoils.

Because of their testimony, the pension prepared for him by the Chamber of Commerce was withheld, and many family members of the crew members on the ship believed those words, determined that his father was the culprit, and directed all their resentment on him.

Dawn's house was smashed, and the only things left in the house were taken away, and many people pointed at him, insulted him and his father with all kinds of swear words.

Dawn didn't believe that his father would collude with pirates at all. His grandfather died at the hands of pirates. Every time his father mentioned pirates, his tone was full of hatred. How could such a person who hates pirates In collusion with them?

But no one believed his words at all. The great grief of losing their loved ones made the family members of those crew members give up thinking and just wanted to vent their emotions.

Dawn tried to ask others for help, but almost all those who were close to his father died at sea, and they were too busy to take care of themselves, so how could they be able to help him.

The person in charge of the chamber of commerce just happened to be at odds with his father, and even Dawn didn't see him.

Dawn was almost in despair. He was wandering on the street, picking up something to eat when he was extremely hungry. He was just a child. Even if he was lucky enough to pick up something good, it would be easily snatched by those adults. Afterwards, he fell ill and was dying of illness.

It was at this time that Old Dick picked him up from the street. He happened to pass by and saw Dawn lying in the alley. When he went to check, he found that the child's face was red and his body was hot.

Almost without thinking, old Dick took the man back to the church, treated him carefully, and when he was well, hired him to work for him, hoping to give him a chance to live.

Dawn stayed after recovering from his illness, but he was still unwilling. He felt that his father had been wronged, so he tried every means to investigate the truth while working.

Maybe God has eyes, and some people think that Dawn is a child and cannot pose a threat to him, so they relax their vigilance, and Dawn actually found out the truth.

The ultimate behind-the-scenes black hand is actually the person who issued the pension from the chamber of commerce. He and Dawn's father did not get along with each other, mainly because Dawn's father refused to join forces with him. He had already spent the money, but what he didn't expect was that the leader of the chamber of commerce wanted to check the accounts on a sudden, and once the accounts were checked, his hands and feet when he sat down would be discovered.

The laws of the Shatan Empire were quite strict, and the money he had embezzled was enough to sentence him to death, so he urgently needed a large sum of money to fill the loophole.

It happened that at this time, Dawn's father had an accident. As the person in charge of distributing pensions, he almost immediately set his sights on this large sum of money.

With so many people dead, the pension needed is also a large sum of money. He can't swallow all of it. If he handles it carefully, it's no problem to swallow some of it.

Therefore, he partnered with those crew members and promised them a sum of money to testify that Dawn's father had colluded with pirates. The crew members immediately agreed, because they were not actually hidden in the small warehouse in the kitchen. It was because of stealing things on the boat that Dawn's father locked him in.

Originally, when they returned from the long voyage, these people would be dismissed, but they didn't expect that such a move would save their lives. They already had resentment towards Dawn's father, and the two hit it off, so they concocted Dawn The father colluded with pirates such news.

The person in charge cheated and successfully swallowed the money and filled his own loophole, but he did not distribute the money to the crew members as promised.

After handling the affairs here, he left. Those crew members had been busy for a long time and got nothing. Naturally, they also hated the person in charge.

The Chamber of Commerce temporarily closed the trade route due to the shipwreck, and the crew members naturally lost their jobs. They lost their jobs even without getting anything. These people who were used to sneaking around quickly fell into despair.

When Dawn was delivering something to a tavern owner, he saw one of them was drunk and spread out in the corner.

With a thought in his heart, he leaned over and used the other party's unconsciousness to formulate words with him.

The man complained for a long time, didn't take precautions, and directly told the truth.

When Dawn learned the truth, he was so angry that he wanted to kill these people. Fortunately, there were so many people around at that time that he did not lose his mind and temporarily suppressed it.

After that, the ten-year-old kid planned a lot of things, using what he learned from old Dick, he successfully sent the person in charge to the gallows.

At the same time, these crew members were not caught up. They were sentenced to hard labor for perjury, but everyone knew that almost no hard labor could come back alive from a place like the mine.

Dawn successfully avenged, but the matter did not end like this.

The person in charge took the money for the dowry for his daughter.

At that time, his daughter fell in love with a small nobleman, but the status of the two parties was unequal, and the man's parents did not agree to the marriage unless he could give a large dowry.

His daughter washed her face with tears every day. As a father, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he tried his best to covet the money.

After his daughter got married, she lived a pretty good life. His son-in-law started a business with the money. Because of his quick mind, he also saved a fortune in just a few years, and even returned to the nobility. circle.

The son-in-law is a very conscientious person, because money matters are very good to his daughter, and he also respects him as a father-in-law. But when his accident happened, his son-in-law went away to do business, and when he came back, he had already When the dust settled, he was to be hanged the next day.

Although his son-in-law is a nobleman, he has always been a minor nobleman. He is far from the owner of the caravan, and he can't even find a way to ask for love.

His daughter was very sad, and when she learned that the original sum of money was for her dowry, she was even more distraught. After his father left, she also fell ill and died soon after. up.

The little nobleman was inexplicably sad, and when he learned that the incident was caused by Dawn, he hated him, thinking that if it wasn't for him, his family would not be broken up, and his father-in-law would not have died on the gallows.

Therefore, the little nobleman used his power to kill Dawn. In order to keep Dawn, old Dick had to confront him.

Old Dick was just a pastor, and he was still a pastor of the Church of the Holy Light, which has always been very unpopular, and the little nobleman married a new wife about a year after his wife died. The new wife had power in her family, He also benefited, and he spared no effort to beat old Dick.

In this way, the church of the Church of the Holy Light was targeted by him in every possible way. Originally, some commoners who believed in the goddess came to pray, but they gave up after being tossed a few times, and finally it became what it is now.

This is because the church of the Mother of the Earth was built next door, and many dirty methods of that little nobleman could not be used, so it was considered to be maintained.

After hearing Dawn's story, Julian let out a long breath. The most innocent person in this whole thing is actually Dawn, but in this world where power is paramount, in many cases, you can't gain the upper hand just because you are reasonable.

To put it bluntly, who made the Church of the Holy Light weak here... If you change it to the Maggie Kingdom, which noble would dare to target a child who was protected by a priest?

It can only be said that Dawn was unlucky, and he met so many unreasonable people, so he can survive smoothly, thanks to old Dick.

After all, no matter how targeted they are, those people dare not kill them. The Holy Light Church can be suppressed, but if they really kill people under their noses, it is not a blow, but a slap in the face.

See if they will come up with a master backhand to pull back for you!

Do you really think that the teachings are true, good and beautiful, and the people in the church are also true, good and beautiful?
