Chapter Fifty-Eight: The World Is Peaceful and Predictable (Part II)
The boys finished their hunt, summoned their men to pack up their prey, and led them out of the woods.
The task of the paladins was to ambush the two shrine maidens, and before completing the task, they didn't want to make any trouble, so they didn't follow them, but just ambushed them and waited for the two shrine maidens.
They expected the ambush to target Clara 61 Geisler and Elizabeth 61 Sue from the top of Brocken's mountain, belonging to the Kletika sect and the most famous wild witches of the time. Clara can transform into beasts and demons, while Elizabeth is adept at using poisons and curses. After the witch hunt began, the two witches were unwilling to sit still, and kept running around the world, trying to contact all the wild witches to form a united front and unite against the Holy See. Clara even put forward the slogan of establishing our own sect, in a vain attempt to establish an independent force belonging to the wild witches. These two shrine maidens have always been the key sniper targets of the Holy See, and have repeatedly sent the highest level paladins to round them up, but these two shrine maidens are extremely cunning and erratic, and have evaded the pursuit of the Holy See many times. However, this time the information came from within the Kletika faction. The Holy See spent a lot of money to buy off Clara's cronies and get the exact whereabouts of Clara and Elizabeth. The Paladin's mission this time is to capture Clara and Elizabeth alive and burn them alive at the stake!
As the boys left the woods, Clara and Elizabeth entered the ambush.
The paladins attacked and easily wounded Clara and Elizabeth, but the order to capture them as alive as possible gave them a chance to live, and the paladins could have killed the two shrine maidens in the first wave of attacks, but they wanted to complete their mission perfectly, so they stopped their attack after severely injuring the two shrine maidens, and wanted to come forward and capture them alive.
Clara, who looked as if she had no ability to fight back, suddenly turned into a demon, killed two paladins, and rushed out of the encirclement with Elizabeth on her back, and the curse cast by Elizabeth made the paladins weak and unable to pursue immediately.
By the time the paladins cast a spell to exorcise the curse, the two shrine maidens had escaped from the forest.
The paladins were furious, and tried their best to catch up, and when they saw that they were only a few steps away from catching up, a large group of people appeared in front of them, it was the nobility of the hunting who had just left, they just had nothing to do, so they were moving slowly, but they let the two witches who were running for their lives catch up.
At that time, Clara had changed back into a human body, and the two witches were dressed as nobles and shouted for help, causing the noble boys to turn around, and when the paladins chased after her, the shrine maidens had been saved by the noble boys.
The aristocratic boys, who didn't know the height of the sky, only thought that the paladins were robbers who stood in the way, and they were eager to draw their swords and bows one by one, wanting to be heroes who saved the beauty again.
These young men's showmanship will not be put in the eyes of the paladins, but they are the nobles of Augsburg at a glance, and hurting them is equivalent to slapping Augsburg in the face, and slapping Augsburg in the face is equivalent to slapping the faces of the kings and emperors who owe money to the Fugger family in Augsburg, especially now that the Holy Roman Emperor is at war with Switzerland, the money is borrowed from the Fugger family against the castle copper mine!
The captain of the knights pondered for a moment, and finally decided to report his true identity.
Although Jackburg II hates mages very much, he has a good relationship with the Holy See, and it is also a good thing for those noble lords to hunt down uncontrollable witches, I believe that even if their secret infiltration is rude, as long as these two witches are caught, it is not a big deal for the Holy See to apologize for them.
So the knight captain stepped forward and said, we are paladins from the Holy See, on the mission of hunting witches, these two women are famous witches, especially the one in the black dress named Clara, who made a contract with the devil, and often roasted children at home in the middle of the night to eat, it was simply full of evil, all the young people are noble people, and they can't provide shelter for the witch.
At that time, the witch hunt was sweeping across the continent, and the Holy See was well aware of the importance of propaganda, and before launching this campaign, it vigorously disseminated all kinds of evil legends about witches. The aristocratic teenagers had also heard of these legends, and when they heard that these two delicate beauties were actually witches, their faces turned white with fright, and they all got out of the way and didn't plan to care about it.
I don't want the spell-casting boy to sneer and laugh at you saying that they are witches, I know who you are, you say that you are paladins of the Holy See, who knows whether it is true or not, and I also said that you are wizards, and you want to harm these two noble young ladies.
The knight captain was annoyed and showed his knight badge, but the spell-casting boy sneered and said that this thing could be made by a blacksmith, and said that there was a blacksmith near his house who specialized in forging various badges to make mistakes, and everything could be made lifelike.
In other words, it is to prevent the paladins from taking away the shrine maiden.
The other aristocratic boys were moved by what the spell-casting boy said, and changed their stance again, and became heroes to save the beauty again, shouting to drive away these villains who disguised themselves as paladins.
The two witches also leaned next to the spell-casting boy, looking weak--and weak--and indeed weakened--and weak-looking--and wink-blank and wink-blank at the spell-casting boy.
Then the paladin whispered to the captain that the kid was not in the same group as these two shrine maidens, otherwise why did he have to protect the two of them?
You must know that the witch hunt movement was at its climax at that time, that is, even if the king of a country encountered a witch hunt, he had to quickly clear it up, and he didn't dare to get involved, that kid was originally a wizard who could cast spells, and he couldn't get involved with these two witches, so he couldn't make people suspicious.
What's more, this time the information was only Clara and Elizabeth went to Augsburg to contact important people, but the specific situation was vague, how could it be so coincidental that the young man who could cast spells appeared in the place where the two witches passed.
With this thought, the knight captain couldn't help but suspect that this young man might be an important person who connected with the witch, and even if he wasn't, he should have something to do with that important person.
The spell-casting boy didn't know that the knight captain actually suspected him, and saw that the knight captain was speechless, and thought that he had the upper hand, so he said proudly, you have figured it out, this is Augsburg, even if the Pope comes, he doesn't dare to arrest people casually, hurry up.
The knight captain made up his mind, not only these two witches should be arrested, but this kid should also be brought back and sent to the Inquisition for a good trial, and at the moment he gestured to his subordinates, a group of paladins suddenly burst out, knocking down the noble boys one after another, wanting to capture the spell-casting boy and the two witches alive, who knew that in the scuffle, a paladin missed for a while, and actually killed the spell-casting boy!
