A great search in the city of Luan began.

The destruction carried out by the MIA operation team in the outer city finally pushed the chaos and division of the city to its peak, and the priests of the cathedral took the response they had always been effective in the face of the gradual loss of control of the order-

The monks and knights of the Order of Discipline finally stopped holding their hands, and they began to break into every house, interrogating every citizen, taking away everything suspected and heretical, and taking away all those who were shaken by suspicion of faith, starting from the "Iron Cross Street" in the north of the city and ending in the "White Pine Street" in the south of the city, the black-robed clergy and the knights in armor swept through the entire outer city like a wave of fear.

When the tide swept in, the unarmed civilians were all panicked and frightened, and for a time the knights' shouts, whips, and people's cries filled every street, and after the wave swept through, there was only a dead silence and a low cry hidden in the corners, and on the surface, it seemed that the tide had bulldozed everything, but if a man with a little wisdom walked around the city of Lu'an at this moment, he would find a disturbing fact:

In the streets and alleys, among the shivering citizens of Luan, among the most devout believers in the God of Light in the entire South, not a single prayer could be heard anymore.

However, it is a pity that at this moment, the Cathedral of the Holy Light is completely inaudible and unable to see the real situation in the outer city, and the people in charge of the church have only one goal in mind at this moment: to conduct a heresy trial as soon as possible, although it is impossible to end this chaos that has gotten out of control......

At the same time, outside of Lu'an, on the city streets in the central area of the South, a large hologram is projected over the public magic network terminal set up in the square, and the witch Jipley, who has gradually become a "famous person" in recent times, is sitting in the image, and another dynamic picture is presented behind her: it is the chaotic streets of Lu'an City.

“…… The city of Luan is in great chaos, and the priests of the cathedral are arresting innocent citizens throughout the city...... All those who disobeyed the orders of the cathedral were labeled heretics, and the priests and knights fought against the unarmed civilians......

"Our lord is still trying to find a way to communicate with the priests of Lu'an, but the open letter sent into the city was confiscated by the cathedral and burned in public......

"The Church of Light in the city seems to have completely rejected our will for peace, and the troops led by the two generals, Philip and Byron, took the initiative to evacuate a few kilometers away from the city walls when they could destroy the Luan Cathedral at any time, and the soldiers waited for eighty-six days in the wilderness outside the city, only to be met with unilateral resistance and hostility from the Luan Cathedral...... We can't help but ask, what exactly do the priests in the cathedral want? We have done so that we do not send a single soldier, why do you start killing your own innocent people? ”

Accompanied by Gipley's heart-wrenching words, the picture in the holographic projection flashed continuously, and a large number of leaflets and pamphlets were publicly burned on the screen, cruel burning at the stake appeared, and the scene of church soldiers searching people's houses and intimidating the people appeared, and the last picture was the scene of an angry and hideous church soldier trampling a civilian under his feet, and the angry roar of the church soldier came from the picture: "...... How dare you hide the Cecil's ...... Who gave you the audacity to disobey the bishop?! ”

All the pictures were obviously taken in very tense and secret conditions, and many of the pictures were accompanied by serious disturbing noises and discolorations, and the citizens gathered in the square looked at the cruel scene in astonishment and fear, and listened to the voice of the witch lady continue to sound: "...... This is the information sent by the messengers trapped in Lu'an City who risked their lives to use spells, and I hope that these brave messengers will survive this disaster safely......"

"Now, we have the editor-in-chief of Cecil Weekly, the venerable scholar, Mr. Godwin Orlando, and several citizen representatives from Cecil and Cont City, to discuss on the spot what is the cause of the present chaos in Luan, and also to discuss a question that has recently been on the radar of a large number of viewers: whether we will continue to wait for a sensible response from the priests in the Luan Cathedral, and whether we will continue to look forward to the current Church of the Light—if we cannot wait for a rational and peaceful answer, Is it necessary for us to establish a new order of Light with our own hands so that no one continues to defile the Light......"

The people gathered in the square looked emotionally at the images on the holographic projections, at the current situation in Lu'an City, which had begun to play on a loop behind the Jibri as a background image - the people gathered here were actually no strangers to the Church of Light's "punishment of heretics", everyone would deal with the pastors of the church in their daily lives, and they would also see the pastors or church soldiers whipping errant civilians, However, the information that was being densely displayed in front of them at this moment was not at all the same thing as their previous experience, and the concentration of so many atrocities stirred the nerves of everyone at the scene.

As for the incident mentioned by Miss Witch: the question of whether or not to establish a new order of light that a large number of viewers were concerned about, there was little doubt.

Although most people don't actually think about this layer at all, but Miss Witch has said so, then this should be the case.

Although I didn't pay attention to it, maybe others did.

People in this city are not paying attention to this, maybe other cities are paying attention.

There are already citizen representatives who have already run to the "program" and discussed this issue with the most famous scholars in the south, so it seems that this issue has really become a hot topic and has become a matter that everyone is discussing.

"What are you waiting for! Those priests have gone mad! ”

I don't know who was the first to shout in the square, and then someone soon began to respond.

"The priests of Lu'an City will not open the door obediently, they are all dogs of the Northern Church!" "The civilians in Luan are also Cecil, and we can't let them suffer!" "Those priests are insulting the Light! Let our 'White Knights' take over the city of Luan! ”

Before the order-keeping security team came to control the situation and remind everyone to be quiet and watch the show, a similar call sounded in almost every city and town covered by a magic network terminal......

However, the cries outside Luan could not be heard in the cathedral, and preparations for the Inquisition were already in progress within the "City of Churches".

Once again, the panicked populace was driven out into the square, gathered together under the pressure of magic and swords—in a world of supernatural force, the endurance of the common people at the bottom was patheticly strong at this moment, and even in this situation, they showed no sign of resisting the knights or priests, who gathered around the square like a silent flock, looking deferential and fearful.

However, Amber in the crowd could feel that there was an unsettling atmosphere in the silent flock, which was intangible and insubstantial, but soaked in the cold and oppression of the approaching storm.

It was an unusual silence—under normal circumstances, civilians gathered together quietly, and even if they were deferential and respectful, they would have been uncontrollably commotion and buzzing, but at this moment......

It's too quiet, it's too silent, it's like dying.

The wooden platform in the center of the square has been erected, and the ashes from the last burning have long since been cleared, but there still seems to be a lingering smell of burning in the square—how many people have been burned here since the establishment of Lu'an City? How many people have been burned here for disobedience to the Church, for talking about bishops, for keeping the scriptures?

The pungent smell of the burnt corpses of those who were burned to death seemed to have infiltrated the crevices of each of these stone bricks, and today, these smells seem to seep out little by little......

The side door of the church area opened, and the first to come out was a group of heavily armed church soldiers, and behind the church soldiers came a group of priests dressed in gray linen robes, barefoot, and without crowns on their heads.

This is a sign of "disciplined".

The men who were being disciplined were the clergy who had secretly hidden leaflets or privately talked about the bishop, and they walked behind the Church soldiers, flanked by black-robed ordination friars, and walked with their heads bowed to the inner edge of the square, stopping at the nearest point to the civilians.

Some civilians glanced quickly at the priests, who seemed to be being punished, while the latter glanced equally curiously at the civilians in the square.

They all looked curious and surprised.

Subsequently, the doors of the church district were opened, and the bishop of Luan Cathedral, François Béran, appeared in the square with his priesthood.

Their white robes were still neat and shiny, their gait was steady and energetic—even at a time when food rations had been cut again and again, and the rations of the civilians in the outer cities had been reduced to semi-starvation, their faces were still ruddy, and their skin was full and healthy.

Surrounded by the priests, Fran Béran came to the high platform, and then frowned slightly.

The atmosphere here made him very uncomfortable.

Too dead in the square...... It was full of numb and stupid pariahs, but those who had previously kept their heads down and shivered now looked at them with strange eyes.

The look was neither awe, but also not offense, and François Béran could not tell what it was, except that the eyes of a group of dead men seemed to be those of a group of dead men, but they seemed to be looking at the eyes of the dead.

Probably because of hunger......

Fran Béran suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and forgave the offense in the eyes of those people with great forgiveness, he knew that today's heresy trial was a very crucial ritual, and he had to endure it until it was completed.

The sound of armor grinding came from the side of the square, and another group of church soldiers escorted a dozen ragged men to the wooden platform and tied them to the pillars that had been prepared.

François Béran steadied himself and then faced the square, stirring up the Light so that his voice could be heard throughout the place: "Sons of the God of Light—I know what you have suffered in these days, and in fact I am saddened by it......

“…… It is the devil who has seduced and corrupted your relatives and friends, and has planted doubts and divisions in people's minds......"

There was silence in the square, no one applauded, no one objected, not even the slightest commotion.

Such a cold, dead reaction had never been seen before by Fran Béran, who for a moment seemed a little embarrassed, and then a little annoyed.

But his preaching had already begun, and he had to go on.

So he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and stirred up the Holy Light even more, and let the magnificent divine light around him create a great momentum, which at last caused some commotion in the square, which at last allowed him to continue his preaching: "...... Today, I'm here to expose the devil's tricks and expose their shadows that lurk in people's hearts!

"Those who have been deceived by the devil will undoubtedly be exposed and purified, while those who have not been deceived will naturally be justly identified and released—and I will promise to all that this judgment will be just and effective!

"Swear to the God of Light that the Lord's glory and justice will be served!"

Fran B. Braun raised the scepter in his hand, in the past, he would wait for a moment after shouting the exciting slogan, waiting for the people around him to shout like a tsunami, but at this moment, he had realized that such cheers were difficult to appear, so he simply omitted unnecessary details in the ritual, and directly activated the magic power of his whole body, while communicating the voice of the god of light in his heart, he released a wide range of divine magic.

With a faint sound of holiness, a hazy white aura spread out around Fran B. Braun.

Seeing such extraordinary power, the civilians in the square finally had a little commotion, and on the wooden platform in front of the crowd, those who were tied to pillars widened their eyes, and watched with fear and nervousness as the aura swept over them with an unstoppable momentum—

Where the aura swept by, a faint light curtain appeared on the bodies of those who were tied up, and then the light curtain shook violently, twisting countless shadow-like cracks, and those hazy cracks floated beside them and above their heads, looking extremely eye-catching.

Fran Béran watched with satisfaction: as he had predicted, those who were in fear and self-doubt could not pass the heresy trial.

The aura continued to spread out of the platform, gradually dissipating.

The crowd at the inner edge of the square saw the halo approaching, and they all showed nervous looks, some people quietly took half a step back, but they didn't dare to move too obviously, for fear of being discovered by the priests on the stage, while some people were obviously standing too far forward - they fell into the range of the halo.

Fran Béran was surprised to see a few bright and constant clouds of light in the aura of the Great Divine Word that was about to dissipate.

How could there be such a level of devotion among the common people?

He had just wanted to use the aftermath of the magic to deter those civilians, but he didn't expect to see the Holy Light's response.

The temporary bishop was surprised to see where the bright lights appeared, but the next second, he didn't care to pay attention to what "those devout believers" looked like.

He found that the Great Divine Word Technique, which was supposed to spread to the limit and then naturally dissipated, seemed to have been strengthened out of thin air, and the aura that had been extremely dim in front of the crowd suddenly became extremely bright!!

It stands to reason that the magic that would be confined to the "judgment seat" seemed to resonate with some sacred magic weapon, and it was re-infused with energy, and then began to spread to the entire square with an incomparably rapid momentum.

Fran Béran watched in amazement, and suddenly realized in his heart - oh oh, it's over.
