The Royal Capital Cathedral is very powerful. The witch who caused harm to the nine duchies was caught by the cathedral in just three days, not only herself, but also the witches who assisted her.

The notice came out that afternoon, and the church also petitioned the city hall to have the city defense troops go door-to-door to notify the citizens, asking the citizens to rush to the Cathedral Square before sunset to participate in the trial to purify heretics.

After Miriam handed away ten coins to the city defense troops who had sent the notice, she immediately returned to the house and reported the situation to Alison who was drinking oatmeal.

"It's such a sensation, I thought they were telling us to plant the yellow dragon flag." Alison wiped her eyelids, put down the bowl and got into bed and hummed, "I'm not going."

"Sir, it's a small matter, it's better to go." Miriam looked at Alison, "The city defense army said that anyone who doesn't go will be found out afterwards. If you explain, there will inevitably be trouble."

Vivian on the side also nodded when she heard this, looked at Alison and persuaded, "This is the church's trial, as long as anyone is immortal, they must participate."

Alison, who was lying on the bed, raised her chin slightly, nodded with half-open eyes, "Prepare the car and carry it out for me later."

After a while, a carriage was hired. Miriam and Vivian made a simple stretcher and put Alison on the carriage.

"If you are in such a difficult situation, you may be exempted from watching the ceremony." The coachman was an old man who had seen a lot of things. "You give the city defense troops money, and they will report the true situation."

Miriam's expression changed when she heard this. She looked at Alison and saw that the latter was not angry. Instead, she smiled and said, "I have never participated in such a trial event. It doesn't matter if I go there once."

"Alas~" the coachman sighed, and then drove the carriage towards the cathedral, looking back at the carriage from time to time, "In fact, there will always be changes in this kind of viewing ceremony, and the judgments of the past will always come to save people.

, although the church has prepared all means, believers will always be affected. The church calls this kind of thing directly experiencing the persecution of heretics."

"But if you don't participate, who will be harmed?" The coachman said, shaking his head slightly, "I hope the witches in this trial are unjustly accused."

"What do you mean?" asked Alison, who was lying in the carriage.

"No one can save ordinary people." The coachman replied, "But don't worry, we are a carriage, so there is no need to squeeze in to show piety. Even if something happens, I will take you as fast as possible with my driving skills.

Escaped."

"So what's the use of this thing?" Alison rolled her eyes.

"Faith requires it. If you judge heretics without letting believers know about it, then why do you believe in it? Only a sense of crisis can make believers pious. Wait and see, they will definitely tell you how many children the witches have captured and how many disasters they have caused."

The coachman was very talkative and had good driving skills. Alison, who was lying in the carriage, was transported to the church square without much bumps. At first glance, it was crowded with people.

"There are more than 300 people horizontally and more than 400 people vertically. It is estimated to be about 130,000." Miriam leaned on the front window of the carriage and looked forward. "Except for important positions, it seems that all the citizens of the royal capital are here."

"Can you come? The trial ceremony will begin in a while. After that, the city defense army will patrol the streets. Anyone seen outside the church square will be regarded as a thief. If you don't have money, you won't be able to get out of jail." The coachman sighed slightly.

road.

"It's really disturbing the lives of citizens." Miriam frowned.

"You can't say that. After all, there are still most citizens who are willing to watch the Purification Trial." The coachman laughed, "There is no program like this in normal times."

The three witches raised their eyebrows when they heard this, but this is the normal state of reality. After all, witch hunting has been the mainstream since hundreds of years ago.

As the time approached dusk, a group of city defense troops escorted a dozen witches to the burning rack. The church pastors also came out. The leading pastor took a sound transmission stone and began to praise gods and criticize heretics, and took out their

Fu Shu, who confessed to the crime, held a parchment while speaking and let the citizens in the front row see the crimes they confessed, and conducted a second trial of the surrendered witches in the form of questions and answers on the spot.

"The glory of God is everywhere. My child, you once destroyed the wheat fields, killed two hundred babies, and used men's utensils to brew herbal medicine. Do you admit to the above crimes?" The priest looked lovingly at the man who was strangled on the torture rack.

said the witch.

"I admit, and I also admit that I have done many bad things. I have stolen money from bakeries, and I have killed small animals." The girl looked at the priest calmly, "I repent for everything I have done, and I hope for the flame of God."

It can completely purify me."

"Oh, that's really a big sin." The pastor looked at her in surprise when he heard this, "Is there anything else you can't let go of?"

"My little bear is gone. If I die, he will be very desperate because he has nothing else but me." The girl sighed.

"Oh, I'm sorry, my child. We have searched your home, but we did not find your little bear. If there is one, we will definitely send it over and let it be burned to death with you."

The pastor said with some regret, then turned to look at the citizens in the front row, "Any of you who have been persecuted by these witches can tell them, and then let God judge them."

After all, we are all enlightened free people now, not the serfs under Simon Knight who killed all the women in the village and did not dare to resist. Although such a beautiful girl still has to be burned, it is justified and the evidence is conclusive.

"I said! She took away one of my eyes!" A drunkard pointed at the girl and said angrily.

"It's really abominable. Please explain it in detail." The pastor's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he knew that suffering was indispensable in the judgment.

The drunkard nodded fiercely when he heard this, pointed at the girl and said, "One time when I was walking at night, I was trapped for three days and three nights. When I woke up, a crow took my eye away. I dare to swear,

She was the one who sent Crow to instigate it!”

"This" the pastor frowned when he heard this and drank to lose his wits. This lie is not round.

"And me!" A gangster took off his pants, leaving a mess underneath, which frightened the surrounding citizens and exclaimed.

"This is what I became after sleeping with her one night. My life is ruined!"

"Oh, how cruel." The priest looked at the gangster and sighed slightly. He was about to be burned to death, and you still poured such dirty water on him.

"What about you?" The pastor asked again, looking at a relatively normal citizen.

"She is my new neighbor. She has cast a spell on me and left me haunted!" the citizen testified.

"Well, God will not let her go, she will be sent to hell, and who else!" the priest shouted.

Amid a burst of impassioned speeches and calls from the people, the clergy lit torches. Seeing a dozen girls they couldn't get being licked by the flames, the emotions of a group of streetwalkers and old bachelors immediately reached a climax.

"Burn these witches! Burn them!"

The flame was ignited. At this moment, they felt the sublimation of their souls, relieved and satisfied. They saw with their own eyes the destruction of those things that could not be obtained. They felt that their life was worthwhile, and the sense of accomplishment could stay with them throughout their lives.
