Chapter 39: Heresy Trial
Chapter 39: Heresy Trial
Corey Town.
Many people have been imprisoned in the dark and damp dungeon, and there are still women being sent in continuously.The guards were in charge of the body search, and as soon as they found the wands, they would be broken immediately, and those that could not be broken were put away and handed over to the referee.
The transporters stuffed them behind the fence like throwing sacks, even if it was full.
No one listened to their appeals, and no one dared to sympathize with them—these women were either arrested for performing witchcraft, or imprisoned after being exposed by their relatives and friends. Under the heavy pressure of the church, no one wanted to Get burned.
The prison cell has long been transformed by the Inquisition, and it is said that it can restrain the witch's tricks.
"Has your lord arrived yet?" the guard asked in a low voice.
The companion looked around and lowered his voice, "It's in the innermost part."
In the depths of the dungeon, there is a special room in which a real witch is locked up. During the day, the chief referee personally captured it.
Although she was shackled, the witch's expression was very relaxed. This level of shackles can only be resolved with a little magic.The reason why she didn't leave immediately was because she was interested in the young man sitting in front of her - that was the head of the Inquisition.
She thought she should be a greasy old man, but she didn't expect to be so young.
He was wearing a long white cloak, inside was a very religious uniform, and the golden tassels on the collar swayed slightly with the master's movements.
The candlelight flickered above the room, making the young man's soft black hair and blue eyes more abstinent. The fly in the ointment was that he covered the lower half of his face with a mask, just like performing in the middle of an opera, spoiling the fun In addition, people can't help but imagine to fill in the remaining half.
"Could it be that the chief referee also wants to taste the taste of a witch?" She bit her finger and smiled charmingly, "What's the matter with this mask, why don't you take it off, I will never tell anyone."
The chief referee lightly grasped the witch's extended wrist, and the tightened fingers through the glove soon made the opponent scream out in pain.
His voice was gentle and brisk, but his blue eyes contained no emotion, "I only have one question, I hope you can answer me."
"What... what? It hurts... let me go..." I don't know what else the young man in front of me did. The witch felt as if her internal organs were being scorched by the fire, and the bean-sized sweat fell to the ground and mixed with the soil. Together.
The scroll slowly unfolded in front of her, and a beautiful cup was painted on it. The cup was engraved with gorgeous patterns, which looked like utensils used by nobles.
"Ever seen this?" asked the referee.
"For such a thing, you can find it in the house of a noble lord..."
"This is not an ordinary cup. The contents in it are beyond comprehension for a vulgar witch. Let me ask again, have you or your friends seen it?"
Maybe it was because the judgment in those eyes was too heavy, the witch subconsciously wanted to use magic to escape, but failed, the blood color faded from that alluring face, "I have never seen that kind of thing... the magic has actually failed ,who are you!"
The shadow stood up from the stool, covering her body along her legs, and the gentle voice of the referee was in the damp and cold air.
"I am the one who gives you pain, and the one who gives the world pain." The young man had just finished speaking, and the witch in front of him had already turned black. He stretched out his hand and patted the top of her head in a good mood, and the woman's body suddenly collapsed into a ball. Ashes, "Good boy, you are still the cutest when you are silent like this."
The door was pushed open, and the subordinates were already waiting outside.
"My lord, the interrogation room is ready."
The hem of the referee's cloak fluttered, and the person had already walked away, "Okay, I'll go there right away, don't forget to clean the inside."
In the dungeon, the shadow of the young man was elongated by the candlelight, reflecting on the wall like a ghost, and everyone who passed by buried their heads deeply and saluted him.
They still respect and fear this young man more than the witch.
Everyone here knows that the chief referee is looking for something, but he has never revealed what it is.
Some people say that it was stolen by a witch; there are also rumors that it should be in the hands of a wizard.
There are also rumors that it is the vessel that once contained the blood of Jesus, and it is what King Arthur ordered the knights to seek.
Its name is the Holy Grail.
……
There were two towns outside the forest where Maria lived, still in the same direction, and there was no trace of the blonde witch, so Fujimaru Tateka was in trouble and couldn't decide which way to go.
With his help, Merlin, who had recovered his original appearance, moved his hands and feet, and then let go of the hand holding the staff. The staff naturally fell on the two roads and made a choice.
The magician looked at the road sign, "Let me see, Kolei Town, let's go here."
"..."
"..."
"What's the matter with your suspicious eyes? I have fulfilled my duty of guiding people very well."
Joan of Arc [Alter] directly picked up the sword, "Go to hell, Merlin."
Fujimaru Tachika: Serve it right!
Instead of wasting time entangled in which town to go to, it is better to search the past.
Kelei Town was not far away, and it was already late at night, but the streets were crowded with people and it was very lively.They held up the torches, illuminating the open space, and the three of them could hear the swearing one after another from a distance.
To be on the safe side, Merlin began to cast illusions on his side from the very beginning. In the eyes of ordinary people, they were a group of travelers passing by here.
Surrounded by the crowd in the center was a ragged girl, her dull brown hair was scattered like a clump of weeds, she was lifted up to a high platform step by step with her legs bare, and a red-hot iron plow was placed on the platform .
The priest held the Bible and announced to everyone: "If she is innocent, she will not be hurt if she walks barefoot through this iron plow. If she has made a deal with the devil, then the fire of karma from heaven will definitely burn her!"
"May the gods protect us!"
"Expel witches, expel demons!"
The crowd was incited, and excited words were constantly shouted.
The boy clenched his fists tightly. As long as ordinary people stepped on it, it would be impossible for ordinary people to be safe!
Under the leadership of the priest, the voices from the audience became louder and louder. The red-hot iron made the girl turn pale. She took a few steps back and was pushed back.
After several struggles to no avail, the girl grabbed her hair with her hands and screamed, "I am innocent! I am innocent! I swear to the Lord that I never betrayed Him!"
"Do you want to save her?" Joan of Arc [Alter] asked softly in his ear, her hand was covering the back of Fujimaru Tachika's, and they held the Saint Catherine sword at the same time, "If the one who judges her here is God, then you are making enemies of the gods by doing so."
The girl on the stage was detained and dragged towards the iron plow, and people broke her legs and urged her to step on it.
The blue eyes were colored by the flames, and Heroic Spirit heard the sonorous answer, "Lend me your strength."
After Joan [Alter] got the answer she wanted, she turned her head and threatened the accompanying magician with her eyes, and Merlin sighed, "I will help you, really, no matter where you go, you are still the same, Lixiang-kun .”
"I declare to you that man's sins can be forgiven, but blasphemers will be put to death." The priest announced loudly to the believers. There was fanaticism in his eyes, but he was quickly dismissed. Cut off.
Two figures wearing cloaks passed over the crowd at an incredible speed, and came to him in the blink of an eye.
"Good evening, Father." The boy greeted him friendly, and the next moment he felt dizzy, and when he came back to his senses, he had already fallen heavily on the high platform.
On the other side, a woman wrapped in black lifted her legs and kicked them neatly, and the men fell to the ground, rolling and moaning continuously.Holding a cross sword in her hand, she stared arrogantly at the crowd with her long silver hair and golden pupils, "It's not enough to see, who else is going to come up? Send..."
Before the words were spoken, a ball of light suddenly appeared in the sky above them, and it shattered into pieces in an instant. The intense daylight made everyone close their eyes!
The boy's eyes were protected by Joan of Arc [Alter] in time, and he could see a figure riding a broom rushing up to the high platform through his fingers.
Immediately afterwards, he felt that someone grabbed his arm, and with a sudden pull, his body flew into the air!
"Wait!" The heroic spirit's voice came from a distance, and the words behind were already drowned out by the boiling voice of the crowd.
The sky at night is beautiful, the air is very fresh, and the craters on the moon can even be seen clearly - all this is based on the fact that Tateka Fujimaru is flying in the air, and the culprit is the young man who is driving a broom.
"you……"
"you……"
The two people looked at each other with similar blue eyes and said in unison.
"Uh, there's something I have to say first." The young man on the broom hesitated for a while, then confessed, "I robbed the wrong person."
"..."
"You also saw what happened just now." He scratched his head in embarrassment, and finally shrugged and gave up struggling. "I didn't expect that spell to be so powerful. My eyes were almost blinded by the flash. It's too bad."
Fujimaru Tachika remained silent, with a vague approval on his face.
"My name is Godric, Godric Geffendo, how about you?" He asked a little familiarly: "Is that your sister on the stage? She is so heroic that it makes people feel, uh... faint egg| pain."
"Lixiang." Recalling the crotch kicking action of the Dragon Witch just now, the boy decided not to express any opinions.
In the chatter of the other party, Fujimaru Tachika learned that he was a wizard from England, and he came here to find his friends.
"I have a suggestion..." The boy tremblingly raised his hand after he had finished speaking.
"Of course, please."
The boy pointed to the tail of the broom lying on his stomach, "I think I'm about to fall."
"Hahahaha how come, my driving skills are very good... Wait, wait, Merlin!"
After some tossing, Godric managed to catch the falling boy in the air, and the two rested in the woods with lingering fear. In order to avoid being traced, they gave up making a fire.
The young man leaned against the tree, maintaining the cross sword hanging from his waist, "I don't know how that girl is doing now... Are you a wizard too?"
"My companions should protect her safety. I'm... a half-wizard." Fujimaru Tachika replied, he was still thinking about how to contact Merlin and the others.
Besides, magicians and wizards... are probably about the same?
"I'm sorry, I was too impulsive. If I could confirm more at that time..." Godric sincerely apologized, he felt that he should be responsible for this, "I will send you back after this matter is over, how about it?"
"this matter?"
The wizard looked in the direction of Kelei Town worriedly, "My friend was captured by the Inquisition, and I wanted to rescue her. But no matter how many times I sneaked in, I couldn't find a place to hold her..."
"Sneak in..." Fujimaru Tateka tapped his forehead with his finger, "It would be great if the king was here, use Hades' invisibility helmet..."
Joan of Arc [Alter]'s face instantly enlarged, and she stared at him suspiciously, "Compared with that King of Heroes, do you want to choose him more?"
"Uh... shouldn't I ask why you appeared here immediately?!"
The Dragon Witch was unmoved, but instead took a step closer, "Look at me and say, why am I not as good as him?"
