Now that the sun had begun to set in the west, only the motionless witch on the last stake was left on the stake.

Below the high platform, the melon-eating crowd that surrounded the whole square was still shouting all kinds of slogans to burn the witches, and some of the evil people even threw small stones, or rotten eggs and other things on the stone platform, trying to hit the poor woman who was tied to the stake.

The people who shouted the slogans, without exception, wished they could hurry up and set the last cross on fire, and then, when the onlookers had burned the wicked witch, they could go about their work.

Finally, unable to resist the growing enthusiasm of the citizens, Bishop Jonathan, the supreme head of the only cathedral in Port Royal, held a Bible in his hand, and slowly walked to the Xingtai, and the audience below immediately began to cheer loudly.

They weren't actually welcoming Bishop Jonathan of Rausch, but because they knew that when the priest of this church walked up to the high platform, it meant that the other side was going to start the final steps of today's burning at the stake, and was ready to light the last flame of today, and it would also be the last entertainment that these people could see and look forward to today!

And at this time, on the other side of the square, in a slightly empty corner, Weatherby of Port Royal? Governor Swan was sitting on the viewing platform, where they were guarded by two or three hundred British Royal Musketeers dressed in red, and next to his place sat James, who had recently been promoted from captain to commodore of the Navy for his distinguished service. Norrington.

Governor Swan and Norrington were old acquaintances, because, before they came to Port Royal, Norrington had served as a captain on the Intrepid, and it was the same ship that was carrying Weatherby? Governor Swan and his daughter Elizabeth came from England.

Thanks to Weatherby? On the recommendation of Governor Swann and Norrington's own efforts, His Majesty the King gave James? Norrington respected and was soon promoted from captain to captain.

Then, during his tenure as captain of the Interceptor, Norrington tracked down and captured some of the most fearsome pirates in the Caribbean, and reaped great feats! It was through Norrington's efforts that Port Royal became a civilized British colony, and it was thanks to these efforts that Norrington was eventually promoted from a captain to a brigadier admiral of the British Navy.

To commemorate his promotion, Governor Swan also ordered the blacksmith to prepare a new sword, and gave it to Norrington himself during the official promotion ceremony. Moreover, Governor Swan deliberately married his precious daughter, Elizabeth, to Norrington, a young man who seemed to have a great future and dared to fight. In fact, in the past few moments, what they were whispering was about the details of the engagement ceremony.

"By the way, Norrington, what do you think of the church's practices over the years?"

After talking about personal matters, Weatherby? Governor Swan glanced noncommittally at the stake in the distance and the witch on the last cross, who was not interested in the witch hunt of the Church.

He didn't want to come to this kind of occasion, but the church had made a very formal invitation to him, so he had to waste his precious time here, sitting on this stupid viewing platform and watching those church fools burn witches and play.

The period from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century was not only the golden age of the Age of Discovery, but also the craziest period for the Church to hunt witches! Not only are their churches killing on the European continent, but the religious elements who are missionary, they have even brought this trend to the New World.

"Ahem...... Dear Mr. Governor, kingship and divine power have always been a very sensitive subject, and I don't think we need to discuss them at all. ”

Brigadier Norrington whispered into the Governor's ear and reminded him.

Although, he himself is very unaccustomed to the dirty practices of these churches, and he knows better than anyone whether those people on the stage are witches or not! What's more, now is the time when the British Empire is trying to expand its colonies, and everywhere needs a large number of labor and population, and it can be said that every labor force is very precious.

And now, look at these people in the church, and they're burning witches? Even if the royal army needs to use valuable troops to maintain order at the execution ground for them? In Norrington's view, this kind of practice of the church is simply unreasonable!

Of course, he only dared to think about this kind of thought in private, even if he had been promoted to brigadier general now, but he would never dare to say this kind of remark casually and tell the truth about this kind of remark that would obviously cause trouble for himself.

"Ah, you're right! Yes, this is indeed a very sensitive topic! So, let's change the content, Norrington, what do you think of Elizabeth? ”

Although he had decided to marry his precious daughter to the young brigadier general he saw, Governor Swan still wanted to ask again, this Norrington, would he stand on his side and help himself in his own governorship?

"Miss Elizabeth is a beautiful and kind girl, and it will be the honor of my life to marry her! From now on, we will be a family, and if the Governor has anything, just tell us! ”

Norrington is now just taking the first step towards his seemingly brilliant life, not only promoted to brigadier general, but also preparing to marry Bai Fumei, so, at this moment, he very much needs the help of Governor Swan, an old nobleman of England, so that he can go further on this path of the Royal Navy.

He knows that very well, Weatherby? Governor Swan can not only come to Port Royal and take charge of this important place, but he is even qualified to write directly to His Majesty the King, which shows that the other party is definitely not an ordinary nobleman, and his energy in the upper echelons of the kingdom is definitely not ordinary!

"Very well, Norrington, I'll remember what you said today. Hopefully, in the coming time, we will be able to make Port Royal even more prosperous and stable, and make it the brightest jewel in the entire Caribbean. ”

Weatherby? Swan couldn't help but nod in satisfaction after hearing Norrington's words.

As the governor of the most prosperous region of the Caribbean, he hoped to marry his daughter to Norrington, on the one hand, because he was optimistic about the future of this young man, and on the other hand, he also very much needed the military force in the hands of the brigadier general to serve him as the governor.

Now, when he heard the Brigadier General's accurate answer, it made him very satisfied. From then on, he, the Governor, in the Caribbean, had a military force that could be used and absolutely obeyed his orders, which would be an indispensable aid to his career as a Governor.

……

Bishop Jonathan finally walked up to the last witch on the high platform and stood up, smiling kindly and raising his hand to silence the cheering crowd before he took his Bible and walked up to Charlotte, the witch bound to the cross.

Looking at the witch with her head bowed and motionless, a faint hint of hideousness flashed in her eyes, and then she first made a cross on her chest, and finally slowly put her hand on his Bible to cover it.

"Witch, do you have anything else to say now?"

Bishop Jonathan looked at Charlotte coldly, trying to see her humble face through the other party's hair, and at this moment, there was not the slightest pity in his eyes, as if he was not looking at a certain person, but just a certain bed bug that he hated.

"I'll repeat it one last time! Witch, do you have anything else to say? ”

The bishop frowned as he looked at Charlotte, who was still hanging her head and not reacting, she was still motionless, and she didn't react at all, as if she was dead.

Bishop Jonathan, who sensed that his process seemed a little imperfect, sneered, and asked the executioner next to him to pick up a small wooden barrel from his side, and then used the sewage in it to rush the other person's head......

This half bucket of water does not allow her to avoid the tragic end of being burned to death, but can also allow her to struggle longer under the fire for a while, so that she can enjoy more pain of being burned by the flames!

Bishop Jonathan nodded in satisfaction when the executioner had finished flushing the water and saw that the witch in front of him had finally raised his head, and if the witch did not cooperate, the standard process would not be completed, which would annoy him.

This is...... Water?

It was only when the foul water flowed from her hair and cheeks into Charlotte's chapped mouth that she finally came to her senses, and she began to lift her head and open her eyes with difficulty.

Looking at the smug priest in front of her, Charlotte realized that this was the first time she felt that these church people were so terrifying! Disgusting! Before her, she had specially thrown a silver coin into the donation box in the church, which was the private money she had saved for a long time......

However, Charlotte did not begin to speak, nor did she pay attention to the priest standing in front of her, she only turned her head with difficulty to look at the two burners beside her, which had long since been extinguished, and the two twisted clumps of charcoal on them...... It was her mother and her sister......

Charlotte stared at her for a moment, her lips opening and closing, as if calling for something, and finally, she didn't cry, but closed her eyes in pain...... Her tears, before that, had already dried up.

"Witch! This is your last chance! ”

Annoyed and angry at the sight of this damn witch's attitude, Bishop Jonathan snorted coldly and savagely snatched the torch from the executioner's hand.

Originally, this kind of despicable work in charge of igniting fires and torture was not worth his own hands, he was a noble and high-ranking bishop!

However, this attitude of this witch has completely angered him, so he will light the last flame of the day with his own hands, and listen to her voice as she screams and struggles in the flames!

"I curse you!"

Charlotte once again opened her eyes with difficulty and uttered her last words. She stared at the priest in front of her, and she wanted to make a note of his ugly face!

If, in this world, there were really those demons or devils, she was even willing to sell her soul now in exchange for the power that could destroy these villains!

"I curse you ......"

"One day, the fire will consume you...... too"

"You scoundrels will be burned at the stake......"

"And all your churches will burn and be reduced to ashes in the flames of heaven...... You scoundrels will eventually be spurned by the whole world! ”

Charlotte finished the last sentence in a hoarse voice, which had already used up the last of her strength.

She glanced at the wicked church members on the execution table again, and finally lowered her head slowly, knowing that her time was coming......

Mother, sister, and father...... I'm here to accompany you...... I'm really sorry that Charlotte couldn't take care of this home......

"Hah! Did you hear that? This is indeed the words and deeds of a witch! That's right! ”

Bishop Jonathan nodded with satisfaction, he didn't really care about the vicious curses of these witches before they died, this is what he wants to hear, this is the normal process!

So, having achieved his purpose, he walked forward with a smile, and he was ready to carry out the final steps, and then light the firewood that surrounded the witch, on which the executioners had already doused the flammable oil.

.“ Look at what happened to this witch, listen to her last wail, and may God forgive these fallen souls! ”

Bishop Jonathan shouted to the spectators with torches held aloft, and with his words the square began to cheer for their last revelry of the day, and the wailing of the Witch's Cup as it was devoured by fire would be the best spice to make them happy!

"Oh? Are you trying to burn witches? Actually, I'm a real witch! ”

In Jonathan? Before Father Roth was about to throw down the torch, a crisp and loud voice suddenly sounded, drowning out all the noise at once, and then, he actually saw a little girl floating in the air, and she was actually flying towards him? Fly...... Fly over?

My God......

Jonathan lamented in his heart, this can't be true, right? How is this possible? How could such a thing happen?

The witches that have been burned in their church for so many years, just by his hand, Jonathan himself can't count them, none of those witches have the ability to resist, not a single one!

However, now, this strange scene in front of him, the little girl floating in the air and slowly flying towards him, this is the first time he has seen it! And, most importantly, she was just saying, she's a witch? Can she fly?
