The long conversation between Gu Yun and Marianne lasted all night, and most of the time it was Marianne's questions about the future, and she was desperate to know the future of Winchester and the Holy See, the movements of the world, and who she would be centuries from now.

Even for a witch with eternal life, centuries is an incomparably long time.

Hearing about the revival of the Witch Society and Winchester's decline, Marianne finally smiled.

The conversation was eventually interrupted by the commotion outside the door.

As soon as the day dawned, the fanatical crowd gathered in the streets, and looking down from the windows, they saw a long procession of people rushing in the direction of the square.

"Today is the day of the execution of witches."

Marianne stood in front of the window, pulling down the hat of her nun to cover her face, and she watched the endless crowd, and the morning was like a celebration, and everyone cheered from the bottom of their hearts that the land would finally be purified.

"Would you like to go and see it together?"

"Okay."

After receiving an affirmative answer, she slowly bent down in front of Gu Yun, and under Gu Yun's surprised gaze, her whole person turned into a black cat, and the only thing that the black cat had in common with Marianne was the pair of amber eyes.

"The execution was presided over by the church, and there should be a lot of witchers gathered in the square, so it's safer, but I'm going to borrow your arm for a while."

Saying that, the black cat jumped quickly towards Gu Yun's body, and Gu Yun subconsciously raised his arm and caught the black cat.

The location of the square was not difficult to find, after leaving the tavern, Gu Yun just followed the crowd and kept walking, and came to the city square in less than a quarter of an hour.

At this time, the square was already full of onlookers, and the whole square was surrounded by black pressure, and they could only stand at the end of the onlookers, and from this angle, in fact, most people could not see the specific circumstances of the execution, but it was certain that every citizen had a fanatical smile on his face.

In addition to the fanatical citizens, the crowd also gathered a number of witchers dressed in light armor and carrying silver weapons, but their faces were generally not smiling, but solemn, as if waiting for some sacred ritual to be completed.

They sincerely believe that this is the end of a dark age, and although many people do not know about the witch community, they have already heard about the evil deeds of witches from the Holy See.

With Gu Yun's eyesight, he could naturally see the situation in the square clearly.

There were five racks, and wooden nails pierced the palms of the prisoners' hands, nailing them to the racks.

The five men were uniformly dressed in plain linen prison uniforms, which were tattered and tattered, revealing bloody wounds, and their dry hair obscured their faces, from which they could not see their faces clearly.

Before the execution began, many onlookers kept throwing stones at the execution table, many of the wounds on the prisoner's body were smashed by stones, and the prisoner in the closest crowd had lost his life, and the red blood flowed down her face to the ground.

The remaining three remained silent, calmly awaiting death, and one of the younger ones kept crying, but her voice was soon drowned out by the applause and insults.

In a short time, five men dressed as priests came to their respective prisoners, and they poured the prepared holy oil on the prisoners' bodies, and they still had words in their mouths.

In anticipation, the flames that burst into the sky made the temperature of the entire square rise a lot.

Listening to the heart-rending shouts of the flames, it was as if people were celebrating a grand bonfire.

Gu Yun turned around and walked in the direction he came, he had actually seen the same scene many times.

During his travels, he had seen believers burning prisoners on more than one occasion, and the crowd was as fanatical as it is now.

Under such a scene, a certain "sense of justice" in people's hearts seems to be released to the greatest extent.

"Greene Winchester is not back in the Holy See, and I'm going to leave here."

When it reached a place where there was no one around, the black cat jumped down from Gu Yun's arm and changed back to Marianne's appearance.

She has gone from her initial anger to her current numbness at the witch's execution.

Even when she sometimes watched people who weren't witches being nailed to the execution table, she could only feel a deep sense of irony.

The act of purifying the world in the eyes of the people is essentially just a means used by the Holy See to eliminate the infidels, and what they want to destroy is not witches, but "magic".

Wipe out the 'magic' of the world that disobeys them, and in the name of justice, and with little to no effort, fanatics will send those who look like witches to the execution table.

"I think that's probably why the 'magic' is gone."

From Gu Yun's description, she imagined the world centuries later, where witches, pharmacists, and alchemists were almost extinct, and the era of magic and spells had withdrawn from the stage of history.

"Then go to Count Dracula and convince him to return the two fragments."

"I've only met him a few times at meetings, and he's usually lived in his castle, but there's a way to find out where his castle is, but it might be a bit risky."

In fact, Marianne is also desperate to find out the whereabouts of Count Dracula at this moment, and Gu Yun mentioned that Green's head was cut off according to the method of treating vampires, which undoubtedly shows that he is likely to have reached some kind of agreement directly with Count Dracula after seizing the magic tome.

It's no wonder that he didn't meet Gu Yun and finally failed to wait for Green in the base camp of the Holy See.

"Let's get straight to the point."

"The Brando family should know exactly where the castle is."

The Brando family is the oldest of the vampires, and the vast majority of powerful vampires are attached to the Brando family these days, and Dracula is no exception.

"It's just that the news of my death has already spread, they should know the news of my defeat, the leader of the Brando family is a very powerful vampire, and once he finds out about my current situation, he will most likely attack us."

If she had acted alone, she would never have gone to the Brando family's territory when she was at her weakest.

Vampires have always been known for their cruelty and tyranny, and since the Witch Society had taken a lot of their territory when it was at its strongest, the Brando family should have been resentful of them for a long time, but it was only because of her magic that she didn't show it.

"It's okay, let's go for a trip."

Gu Yun waved his hand and said, "I'm actually very good at negotiating with others. ”
