It's three o'clock in the afternoon, and there are nearly three hours before the execution in Orlando.

Two hours after the notice was issued, the place of execution in Orlando was finally determined.

As the first major criminal in the history of the White Tower to be executed with silver, Orlando will be publicly executed on the highest spire of the White Tower. Because the top floor of the second tower was only less than three meters away from the Great Enchantment, the execution at that height would not be visible to the people below, and the meaning of public execution would be lost.

After a brief discussion, the location of the execution was determined on a protruding balcony on the second floor of the second tower. This is a height that can be seen clearly even if you stand on the ground.

Some silver-level wizards had already begun assembling silver-filled chairs on the second floor of the second tower—a fairly primitive kind of silver-filled chair, old but shiny with silver as if it had just been produced.

It was a sumptuous torture instrument in the style of High Elf art.

Although theoretically the simplest punishment of silver injection is only a blood draw, silver injection, and ice sealing, it is said that under the advice of several old wizards who have studied the ancient culture of Elcat, Orlando's execution will restore the ancient Elcat's silver injection ritual as much as possible.

The instrument used to carry out the punishment of silver was a rather artistic seat fixed to the ground.

The only set of silver-injected torture instruments in the White Tower was brought out by Scott and Anvilia when they left the royal court, along with part of the treasure trove. Until now, it was completely at the level of cultural relics.

It looks somewhat similar to the electric chair used in ancient Elcat's execution, except that it is wrapped in a large number of twisted silver barbed metal vines.

These seemingly metal-like vines are actually hollow, and they are not metal, but some kind of woody vine with pseudo-iron properties, but with a layer of silver plated on the outside.

These rather artistically twisted vines were actually consumables that had been pulled out of the opening of the silver-filled chair after the materials had been placed in the material slot behind the chair - and they were still slightly hot to the touch.

At the time of the execution of the punishment of silver injection. The inmate should be seated on a chair fixed to the ground. Then, the silver vines will tighten little by little under the action of the mechanism, until the sharp spikes cut through the skin, and the silver vines penetrate into the body along the cracks in the skin. Inside, until there is no longer a single bulge on the surface of the skin, the first step is completed.

Silver lines appear on the surface of the victim's skin like tattoos, and the blood in the prisoner's body will be drawn out by the lines on the vines. flow to the seat behind you. At the same time, the whole body of the prisoner was fixed by wooden vines with pseudo-iron characteristics, and the whole person seemed to be nailed to death by steel bars, and the joints could no longer bend a little, so he could only sit stiffly on the seat, and the remaining life also fell into a countdown.

When the inmate faints due to blood loss, the executioner will press the switch on the seat, and the mercury vapor stored in the silver vine will be gently injected into the blood vessels of the executor to fill the blood gap.

The slight heat softens the vines. The seat behind the inmate is unfolded backwards under the action of the mechanism to become a metal surface, and the inmate's body tied to it is unfolded backwards and lies flat.

By this time, the prisoner was probably dead. Mercury has to fill it up continuously, completely filling the blood vessels. The executor then takes away the vessel containing the mercury and places the victim in a large crystal cover engraved with embalming spells, filling it with mercury until there is no space in sight, and then seals the mouth. After storage at low temperature, it is placed in a coffin and buried underground.

If the executioner's methods are good enough. The inmate should not have suffered any unnecessary injuries. In this way, their souls will be completely frozen after three months.

Their bodies are still resilient, their souls are still intellectual, and even they have a sense of touch. But because their souls are too heavy, it is impossible for them to ascend to heaven and return to the kingdom of the gods. They can only freeze like this. Until the end of the world - or stolen by the devil.

The souls of these sinners have been transformed into crystalline works of art, and the filth in their souls has been purified by mercury. In the devil's world, every sinful soul infused with silver is the highest luxury. So far, not a single soul that has been infused with silver has not been in the hands of the devil. People don't fight the devil for the sake of the corpses of these sinners, more often than not. The devil will also make some pact with them in favor of people, in exchange for a reasonable and legal exchange for taking these souls.

The ritual nature of the silver punishment is related to the culture of the ancient Elcats. They believed that through such rituals, the blood of the people would be cleansed and the minds of those near whom the silver was buried would be purified.

To be more precise, today's triple punishment was originally invented by the Elcats.

The cross is a sign of the Eternal Sleep of the Guru. Those who were crucified, their blood would drench the entire cross. And by the time they breathed, the smell of blood was enough to attract flies. The people of Elcats believed that this would make the Sleeping Mentor, who loved cleanliness, disgusted with such a dead person, and would not take his soul away. This is also the reason why the people of Elcats bathed the corpses with makeup.

And the burning at the stake and the punishment of silver are related to the two sworn enemies of the Elcats. These two mortal enemies, one will turn into black venom and enter the human body to control the minds of others, while the other will take on the form of a human being, using lies and music to provoke a fight in the crowd.

What these two have in common is that they both have a considerable degree of immortality. Only silver and burning can seal both. It can be said that in the very beginning, there were more ritual elements than punishments in the three capital punishments. And at the beginning, it wasn't just three capital punishments, but these three have been passed on.

Later, the crucifixion, burning at the stake, and the pouring of silver turned into capital punishment against the anti-human, the traitor, and the heretic.

However, even the scholars of the White Pagoda can only know this degree at most. After Elcat's desertification, that history was buried with it. There are still relatively complete records of the Winter Fruit Society, but there are only some rather vague descriptions hidden in poems and biographies in the White Tower.

There were still hours before the execution, and the gray-haired old wizards had already arrived at the top of the second tower, gathering around the assembled silver-filled chairs, and exchanging their studies on ancient Elcat.

This time, the executioner will be Scott, who will demonstrate the entire process of silver injection to the vast number of wizard apprentices and wizards who study the ancient history of Elcata in the most standard process.

Unlike those young people. These old wizards are more looking forward to what the whole process of the original version of the Silver Punishment will be like than Orlando's crimes. After all, listening and seeing are two very different experiences.

Just as the silver chair was about to be assembled, there was a commotion from downstairs of the second tower. The old wizards couldn't help but look down.

In the midst of the noisy crowd, a black-haired man with his eyes wrapped in black cloth and his hands in shackles behind him came out of the basement of the third tower and walked towards the side door of the second tower, surrounded by dense sword wizards.

These sword wizards wore the Order of the Blue Sparrow on their chests and a look of pride on their faces. Striding with his head held high, he led the biggest sinner of the White Tower to his execution ground.

Sharp-eyed people have noticed that Orlando is extremely pale and his steps are vain.

No one who saw this would have wondered if he had been tortured, because the fact was already in front of him - Orlando was now clearly bleeding to the point of shock. Even if the healing potion can heal the superficial injuries, it will not replenish the blood. Orlando's heavily-bleeding demeanor at the moment has proved how cruel the torture of the White Tower was before.

After all, in order to ensure that the soul would not be squeezed out of the wounds of the corpse, the person who was inflicted with silver was not allowed to have any major wounds.

An old wizard looked at the crowd downstairs that was almost boiling and surrounded the swordsman, and subconsciously looked up at the sun.

Now the sun has begun to set in the west.

It will only take an hour at most, and dusk will fall. (To be continued.) )
