Nina has been in this dark cage for half a month, living with her family every day in fear. Pen Ć fun Ć Pavilion www. ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ ć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Touching the bloodstained wooden door, Nina knew that she had affected the entire family.
"Why should I become an alchemist? I should have left home early and gone to a hidden place with my teacher to study, because I had harmed my family. ā
As the daughter of Baron Zorn, who owns a trading house, Nina has lived a rich and peaceful life since she was a child, and has developed much better than the free people, although she is only sixteen years old, she already has a proud figure. And the family's affluence also gave Nina enough funds to conduct various research.
Although she has to hide in the basement to study, Nina is also very happy.
But that was all once, as his identity as an evil alchemist was discovered, Baron Zorn's family ushered in the gendarmerie of the Fury Wind Fortress, and without saying anything, they all arrested Baron Zorn's family in this dark underground prison.
"Father, will I be dragged to the square and burned to death by the people of the church, like those people?"
Nina asked Baron Zorn this question every day, and she already knew the answer.
But fortunately, only he will be burned to death.
Although Baron Zorne protected his daughter, it was generally not linked, but after all, he was guilty of harboring, so it is foreseeable that Baron Zorn's title could no longer be kept, and he might even be demoted from a nobleman to a freeman.
Jingle ......
The dark cell door is opened every day at noon, and food is brought in. It is said that it is rice, but it is actually similar to pig food, but for Baron Zorne's family, it is the only food.
Today, as usual, the head of the cell came in with food.
Wait a minute......
Why didn't the cell boss come in with food, and he was followed by the gendarmerie?
Nina clutched the wood of the cell door, her turquoise pupils dilating, frightened, frightened...... Countless negative emotions filled the whole body in an instant. Nina instinctively retreated, and Baron Zorn, who was resting, immediately stood up and protected Nina behind him when he saw the gendarmerie enter.
Quarrels, yelling, and even physical altercations.
Nina didn't know how she was brought out, she just cried and pleaded, her brain already occupied by horror.
The gendarmerie appeared for only one reason, to arrest her and go to the square to burn her, the evil alchemist.
Carriage.
Nina felt like she had been thrown into a carriage with the gendarmerie guarding her.
From the prison to the square, Nina knew it would only take an hourglass of time. After an hourglass, he will be tied to a pillar and burned to death, and everyone will dislike him, including his former best friends, and spit on him.
Nina didn't dare to continue thinking about it, she didn't understand why she was just researching something new, why did she become an evil existence?
We are originally revolving around the sun, and the earth under our feet is originally round, why they do not understand these truths, and why the church is desperately trying to prevent us from spreading knowledge.
Nina didn't understand and couldn't figure it out, she just wanted to learn something new and study the vast mysteries.
Well?
It's been two hourglasses, why hasn't it been yet?
Nina found out that something was wrong, three hourglasses, four hourglasses......
Nina has lost count of the number of hourglasses that have passed, but she only knows that there is still the sun when it comes out, and the temperature is barely good. But now, you can hear the wind whirring outside, and the temperature has dropped dramatically.
It's already night.
The gendarmerie handed themselves a loaf of bread.
Strangely, it's not a black-hearted bread that's hard to swallow, but a white bread with a pleasant taste.
This should be a severed head.
Nina was hungry for a long time, couldn't hold back anymore, and began to eat in large gulps. Frightened, frightened, and uneasy, after eating enough, Nina leaned on the carriage and fell asleep.
When Nina woke up, the carriage was still advancing.
Conina felt that the temperature had risen quite a bit, and it was evident that it was not night, but daytime.
A day and a night?
"You're going to send me to church?"
Nina looked at the two gendarmes who had been watching sleepily all night, and finally spoke her first words.
The gendarmes looked at each other, and one of them said, "Don't you know where you're going?" ā
Nina shook her head.
"We have only been ordered to send you to a man who has come to the king's capital, and this person will decide whether you live or die. This is a big deal, and you don't want to lose your manners. "The gendarmes don't know much, they just do what they are told.
The royal capital?
Could it be that the Holy See himself sent an envoy from the royal capital?
I must have wanted to find out the whereabouts of the teacher.
Nina's little hands are pinched to death, and she will never reveal the whereabouts of the teacher's laboratory. Now is the critical moment for the teacher's research, which will be the greatest invention in the history of mankind, and the teacher will break the limits of mankind to conquer a new and unknown world.
With the decision, Nina's fear began to decrease, no matter how severe the torture she was about to face, Nina would never reveal even a little bit of information.
In the evening, the carriage finally stopped, and Nina was taken out of the carriage by the gendarmes.
This is?
Looking at the devastated town burned by the fire, Nina couldn't come back to her senses.
The gendarmes did not take Nina with them, but came by a large man in armor and armed with a large sword.
"Captain Gail, this person will be handed over to you." The gendarmes gave a brief explanation to the big man, and then returned the way he had come in the carriage.
Sure enough, this must be the town destroyed by the Holy See. Otherwise, it would not be possible to explain why there were knights at the level of regimental commanders in this dilapidated town.
It must have been a hidden alchemist found here, so the Holy See dispatched the Inquisition to destroy it, and the kingdom also sent knights at the level of regimental commanders to participate in the encirclement and suppression.
Nina held a moment of silence for the alchemist who had been killed, and even more so for the townspeople who had been implicated.
But such indiscriminate killing of innocents has strengthened Nina's belief in changing this ignorant world, and she can no longer be left ignorant by the Holy See.
Nina's expression was a little more determined, which made Gail, who led the way, wonder very much, although he is tall and big, he doesn't have a bad face, right?
"I knew to let Carmen's little white face come over."
Thinking of the Knight of Carmen, who had been sold to Van PĆ© by Baron Hill, Gale laughed happily.
No one could have imagined that after Van Pei got the Knight of Carmen, he didn't let him train the militia, but asked Carmen to take the hundred or so militia of Vickendun Town, oh no, now it should be the Sunset Town militia to clean the streets for the refugees and tidy up the destroyed houses.
According to Master Van Pei, the militia is the people's soldiers, and now that the people are in trouble, the soldiers should help.
But Gail's sudden laughter made Nina even more disgusted.
"Lackeys of the Holy See."
Nina cursed in her heart, and then was taken by Gail to a relatively clean room.
In the room, a young man in a snow-white mink coat was writing something with a quill dipped in ink, and he didn't seem to notice his arrival.
