Chapter 24: The Knights Templar

"It's her, who destroyed Nancheng District with evil power!" A strong man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked up to the high platform, he was wearing a silk robe with rich gold trim, and the people who could wear such clothes in the northern country were either rich or noble, and his voice was slightly magnetic and very inspiring, "Everyone said, how to deal with such a heresy!" ”

"Lord of the city, such a heresy that endangers the safety of the people's lives is naturally to be executed!" One of the guards took the lead.

The people under the platform also talked about the witch, this woman who brought them disaster, "execution" has been her predetermined fate.

Witches have no control over their powers, with the exception of a few individuals.

Shi Haoren knew, but ordinary people didn't know that unless witches went to the witch academy to study, they couldn't control their "power of the wilderness" in their bodies at all. Most of them are ordinary women, and one day the source of witchcraft in their bodies suddenly awakens, and they will become street rats that everyone shouts and beats.

On this continent, the status of witches was once equal to that of ordinary people and even noble cultivators, but that was when the power of the Holy See declined, and the Witch Academy became the National Academy of the Crotty Empire, and was protected by the "Prince Sibi Domain".

That's right, "Prince Sibi Collar", this prefix is familiar, right?

A hundred years ago, Prince Sibi was the first agent of the Sibi Federation on this continent, and under his protection, the witches were given shelter. As a result, the Federation controlled the entire Crotty Empire and became bigger and stronger in this world. But because of Shi Haoren's former prosecutor who dug the pit, now that Sibi Ling has fallen and been taken back to the empire, and the witch academy has also been overthrown, the witches have once again become the target of public criticism.

Do you want to save her?

Although Shi Haoren is now a "federalist", he is not a nosy person after all. Now that he has just come to this continent, he can't make too many enemies, the power of the Federation has completely disappeared in this continent, and any move he makes after his appearance will be valued by the empire and the divine domain.

It's just a witch, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?

By this time, the city lord had already ripped off the witch's black hood.

The witch showed her cold and beautiful countenance.

There was no despair, no confusion, no firmness in her eyes: even if it was cold, I was afraid that the blood would freeze when I looked at her.

Shi Haoren was stunned for a moment, she felt that this witch was very different from other witches. He had seen witches before, and ordinary witches were actually ordinary women with special powers.

In such a situation, even if you are stupid and don't look panicked, you will definitely not be so calm and cold!

"Landlord, she doesn't look like a bad person." Ning Ning suddenly turned her head and looked at Shi Haoren very seriously.

"Huh?"

"I felt very familiar to her, and I don't know if it's a hallucination. Anyway, I don't think she's a bad person! Ning Ning suddenly grabbed Shi Haoren's hand, "Landlord, let's save her!" ”

"Huh?" Shi Haoren was a little confused, "Very familiar?" ”

"I don't know why, I can't watch her guillotine anyway."

Ning Ning's unusually firm tone made Shi Haoren suddenly unable to come back to his senses. A cheerful girl like Ning Ning rarely shows such a determined look...... Although the two of them had only known each other for a long time, Shi Haoren had already judged that if this witch was not very important, Ning Ning would definitely not show such an appearance.

"Okay."

Shi Haoren was actually planning whether to save this witch before.

She may have caused a fire, but she couldn't control the magic power in her body. Besides, the Sibi Federation once relied on witches on this continent, and it was supposed to help the witches.

Anyway, it's just to save a witch, so that it won't be noticed by the gods and the empire. I won't pull a Federation warship to blow up a cannon...... In fact, even if Shi Haoren wanted to blow it up, he couldn't blow it up, and the Federation was poor...... No, it's Dingdong 66666 that picks the door too much.

It's just that the feeling that the witch on this high platform gives Shi Haoren is really strange.

"When you transform and cause panic among the people, I will rush to save her while there is chaos, and you will wait for me under the high platform. I'll jump right on you, and we'll run! ”

Shi Haoren quickly made a plan.

At this time, the voice of the data terminal sounded directly in Shi Haoren's mind: "Don't worry, I feel that this witch is not an ordinary witch, she seems to be able to control witch power." ”

What the!?

Shi Haoren reminded him through the data terminal, and then he reacted: The look in the eyes of the witch in front of him was not indifference, but disdain!

Yes, a kind of indifference!

She didn't seem to take the people in front of her seriously at all.

"When she set the fire yesterday, the magic power in her body was exhausted, which is why she was tied up so easily." Under the cover of Shi Haoren's collar, the data terminal scanned the witch on the stage, "She is waiting for her magic power to recover now, and she has a good show to watch." ”

On the high platform, the lord of the city had ordered the executioner to press the witch's head to the knife holder.

With an order, the executioner cut the rope with a single sword, and the decapitator fell into the sky.

It's just a matter of moments!

Shi Haoren found that the corner of the witch's mouth suddenly showed a strange smile.

The air in the entire space solidified and thickened, and the guillotine floated upward.

The witch's chains turned into a puddle of molten iron, and she patted the dust off her body and stood up to look at the bewildered crowd around her.

"These ants don't know what's hidden in the slums." The witch floated in the air, looking down indifferently at the crowd in the square, "Your so-called humanity, your so-called justice, is to beat people of humble status into the gutter and trample on them fiercely?" ”

The anomaly on the platform has caused panic, and the entire square has fled as the witch has cast her mana into the air.

"I originally thought that the wicked were just those who were hiding in the slums, but now I understand that you are all wicked, you hypocrites, you deserve to die!"

As she spoke, the ground around her suddenly burst into flames, and the flames swept towards the central square.

"Lemon, get ready to transform!" Shi Haoren shouted, "Save the civilians as much as possible." ”

The witch's words were very informative, probably including the reason why she set the fire.

Maybe these civilians in front of them are indeed despicable.

But they have no ability to resist supernatural forces.

Judging the foolish people from God's point of view, what they did was indeed bad, but because of various reasons such as the solidification of class thinking, they were not wrong. If it's you, the city you live in has been set on fire by one person, who can guarantee to do better than these fools?

Shi Haoren's sense of justice began to flood again, no matter what the reason for this witch was, no matter how bad the attitude of these people was, what she should do after her strength was restored: was to eliminate the city lords and soldiers who obviously put knives to her neck, not the unarmed people in the audience.

Shi Haoren has figured out the final brick of the data, and now the PDA has been upgraded, and its ghost energy reserves are enough to keep his hard resistance to magic power...... As for attack power, he didn't expect the civilian-grade system to have any equipment such as "plasma sword" or "ghost gun".

A brick in your hand, the output is all dependent on roaring...... Phew, the output is all by knocking.

Shi Haoren quickly galloped towards the high platform.

In an instant, the sound of horses' hooves shattered!

Before she could transform, the surrounding flames were extinguished by a milky white halo that fell from the sky.

At the end of the street rushed a group of knights on white horses.

The pattern on the fluttering flag is a golden key.

The Knights Templar from the Holy See of the Clotti Empire!
