Alan dumped the warden and took Mrs. Benn back to his makeshift quarters. Although Mrs. Benn is in prison, she is very aware of the punishment faced by her father and husband, and Alan can also see the sadness that goes deep into her bones, but to Allen's surprise, in addition to the grief-stricken eyes, Mrs. Benn's mood is very calm. Especially when Alan told her about her plan to rescue Viscount Ben, she only listened quietly, and even persuaded Alan to give up his actions and not make unnecessary sacrifices.

Mrs. Benn's calm made Allen feel as if she had made some important decision, and it was an unsettling one. However, Alan could no longer bother to enlighten Mrs. Benn, because the next day was the sentence of Viscount Benn.

Alan comforted Mrs. Benn and prepared some food for her, and left the warehouse with a wooden box containing a magic circle he had built for the rescue. Alan dragged the wooden box back to the vicinity of Guangming Square. However, this time Alan did not enter the square, but went directly to the rooftops that he had scouted before, and chose a hidden place to place the magic array.

Standing on the roof, the plaza is below, and the platform for the execution of the stake has just been erected, the platform is made of wood, and a pillar of the stake stands high in the center. The platform was located in the middle of the square near the entrance of the church, about three hundred paces away from the borders of the other three sides, and this distance would be the most difficult part of Allen's retreat after rescuing people, and after this section he would enter the construction area, where he would have a lot of cover.

When everything was in order, Alan hurried back to his makeshift lodgings before dark, but when he arrived at his lodgings, he was surprised to find that Mrs. Benn was missing. He thought for a moment that Mrs. Benn had been captured, but he immediately saw the letter that Mrs. Benn had left and was sure that Mrs. Benn had left on her own.

Alan rushed out of the warehouse, searched around, but there was no trace of Mrs. Benn, and at last he stood lonely in the middle of the yard, clutching the letter paper, his nails piercing into his palms without noticing. The evening sky was like blood, and clouds were gradually piling up on the northern horizon, and a gust of north wind blew, which made Alan shiver. In her letter, Mrs. Benn persuaded him not to wade into this troubled water, but the hidden meaning behind this warm sentence made Alan feel chills from the inside out, and made him realize for the first time that the winter in the south was colder than in the north.

On February 10, the year 324 of the continental calendar, it was the coldest day since the beginning of winter in the south of Noah's continent.

Before dawn, a group of soldiers drove into Guangming Square, they first emptied the square of all idle people, etc., and then began to set up martial law around the square, and only let the onlookers enter when everything was ready, but they could only enter the periphery, and there were still 150 steps away from the burning stake in the center.

The sky gradually brightened, and the citizens of Triumph City who got up early were surprised to find a vision, although there was a layer of white clouds floating in the sky above the entire Triumph City, but only the clouds above Guangming Square were the thickest, thick and heavy exuding black, as if there was a strong resentment in the sky, which would not disperse for a long time.

As soon as the morning dawned, people poured in from all directions, and soon the periphery of Guangming Square was crowded, and the people behind could not see the situation inside, and many people chose to climb trees, and from a distance, they saw that the branches were fruitful.

This is the first person to personally judge after the Holy See entered the Higg Empire, and even if someone disrespected the Holy See and committed blasphemy, it was handed over to the Hig Empire Ministry of Justice for punishment. Moreover, the sentencing of this judgment was unprecedented, and the execution method adopted was burning at the stake to attract the public's attention. Therefore, despite the unusually cold weather, it still could not stop the enthusiasm of the citizens to watch, for the ordinary people, the death of a viscount had no effect on their psychology, they were more with the mentality of watching the excitement, they very much wanted to know the difference between burning the living and roasting pigs and roasting sheep. But it is another matter for the devout believers, the honor of the God of Light must not be tarnished in any way, and those who defile must be punished and spurned by them. Therefore, in the eyes of devout believers, the gloomy sky and the cold north wind all represent God's wrath against those who blaspheme Himself.

"It's out! It's out!"

The onlookers suddenly pointed to the door of the church and shouted, and with the direction of his finger, everyone saw a group of people walking out of the church, the most conspicuous of all of them was Raphael in a red trimmed robe, and there were several people standing beside him, not only high-ranking figures of the Holy See wearing papal clothes, but also some secular officials, including the proud Minister of War, Duke Beverly.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the prisoner cart carrying the prisoners was escorted by heavily armed cavalry out of the church, the prisoner cart was closed, a total of five, until the five-flowered Benn was escorted out, the people watching from a distance did not know which carriage Benn was held in, for Bishop Raphael such a cautious approach, Gutesian on the side scoffed, he knew what Raphael was worried about, but in his heart, unless his teacher personally stepped out today, no one would want to free Viscount Benn from the stake。

Benn was burned at the stake, his feet covered with timber and oil doused with fire, and a single spark could turn into a raging fire that would engulf him. But this did not frighten him, and there was not even a hint of panic in his handsome face, and only in the depths of his eyes could he see the grief produced by the execution. Benn turned his head as if looking for something, but the result was clearly disappointing, and he couldn't tell the crowd in the black, even if there was really someone he wanted to see.

"Now read the crimes committed by Theodore Benn and the results of his punishment......"

In charge of the sentence was a priest of the Holy See Inquisition, who wore a white peaked hat and walked to the outermost edge of the steps outside the gate of St. Triumph's Cathedral and stopped, facing the stake in the middle of the square, with a parchment roll unfolded in his hand, and read the sentence aloud.

"Your Excellency, I heard that another lord has a great opinion about the execution of Viscount Benn today. ”

As the priest read aloud a long nonsense, Gutesian, who was standing not far behind the prisoner, approached Cardinal Raphael and asked meaningfully. He had come from Vanston on a dragon last night to see if the magician had come to rob the execution ground, as Raphael had expected.

"It's not just that there is a big opinion, if it weren't for my speed, she would probably have to declare in the name of the God of Light that I am the blasphemous one who should be burned at the stake. ”

Raphael shook his head and said helplessly.
