Chapter 18: The Girl Under the Execution Table
Unwittingly, many paladins and templars arrived in the church square, standing around the execution table to prevent people from approaching and maintaining order. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The execution table was really quite high, so that everyone could see the victims.
Soon, a door of the Holy See was slowly opened. A blonde girl in a beautiful white dress walked out under heavy guard. And the crowd became more boiling because of it.
It seems that the prisoner can choose what clothes to wear to the execution ground.
Strange freedom.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Canette suddenly felt like people were partying in this frenzy.
The frenzied excitement and curses of the gang made Canette's heart tighten.
Next, the girl was escorted to the execution table. Soon, under the proclamation of a bishop, the girl was sentenced to death with all kinds of righteous words.
And it sounds like she's going to kill her for the best of her...... No, "purify" her.
Hearing him say this, it was like a very happy thing to be executed. This has to make people admire the strength of gilding their own practices. However, in this announcement, there is also an expression of hatred for witches - as if to deliberately arouse everyone's hatred.
But it seems that he doesn't need to say it at all. Everyone's hatred for this girl has been leaking out like a volcanic eruption. The angry curses of the people instantly filled every inch of space, and people kept shouting to kill her.
All kinds of abusive words made Canette disgusting to hear. He felt more and more that if he didn't know the whole thing but simply passed by, he would probably think that this girl had committed some kind of serious crime, which caused people to complain.
The sixteen-year-old girl's expression was full of fear, but it was calm. It seemed that she was mentally prepared, but in the end, she was still a little devastated by everyone's anger and ridicule.
Perhaps because of the long period of captivity, her body looked weak.
Whatever the priest said, Canette ignored. He forced himself not to look at the girl with tears in her eyes, but to look at the girl's parents instead.
The Holy See does not seem to have any intention of maintaining order at this stage. Because they seem unmoved, it seems that this link is for people to express their hatred for witches. At this time, I don't know who took the rhythm again, and began to count the various crimes of the witches with resentment. Once again, this succeeded in arousing the indignation of the people, pushing the call for the girl's death to be executed quickly.
Everyone wants to see her die. And the reason ...... It seems to deviate from the essence of the beginning.
The girl had to be put to death because of the blood of a witch.
But here, people are following the trend and shouting and making noise......
It seems that because "everyone" said they were going to kill her, she should die.
The worse ones are: this girl's execution seems interesting, so let's shout along.
I don't know if these people who shouted after them understood what the views they supported were. Carnet was sure there must have been a mix of people who were just here to join in the fun.
It's always a dizzying spectacle.
The effect is better than the conspirator's speech.
When everyone around you is angrily shouting to kill you, and you haven't done anything bad at all, maybe your expression will be as panicked and helpless as the sixteen-year-old girl standing under the execution table.
But compared with panic, the deep sense of powerlessness and grievance that resigned to fate is even stronger. She probably still didn't understand why she deserved to die.
And rightfully so. Who will understand?
Maybe God doesn't understand.
And at this moment, the girl who kept casting an expectant gaze in the crowd seemed to see her parents. Her expression was full of surprise. However, when she saw her father's indifferent expression towards her and her mother's crying face, her expression suddenly became completely desperate.
It was precisely because of the girl's expression that Canette's heart tightened.
If the word despair seems more difficult to understand, just look at this face, which has no eyes.
The girl didn't dare to look directly into her biological father's freezing eyes, but hung her head and cried.
No one went to comfort her. Fanatical people just vented their anger on her.
Blame her for everything. Maybe someone lost a cow because of this girl's sins.
One of the best ways to release stress is to watch a public execution. Very classical treatment.
People are unleashing their anger. Whatever you say in it, it won't seem obtrusive.
After all, it was recognized that the man who was about to be killed on the execution table was a sinner. That's why you're so righteous no matter what. There will be no one to stop it, no one to refute it.
He'd seen this happen many times. The people who were publicly executed had different emotions. But it's all gray in the end. If a person is still in full view before he dies, the cold, ridicule, and hatred in his eyes will destroy many defenses in your heart.
When Canette saw this, he really didn't want to look at it. He has no faith, and he doesn't hate any so-called witches. So in his eyes, it was just a sixteen-year-old girl.
And because he couldn't get the comfort of his family before he died, he fell into despair completely, and he didn't dare to cry out loud. I can't imagine that.
So, Ash......
Canette shook her head, unwilling to think too much about it.

This directly prevents the other side from making any moves. caused a rapid reversal of the form.
"Teacher, I made it!" Sam said excitedly to the teacher.
"Good. The teacher agreed to give him enthusiastic encouragement: "A human who can control wood magic...... That's pretty rare. ”
"Then I don't have anything left to teach you!" the teacher turned around and left with satisfaction: "Then you can study on your own." ”
“...... Huh?" Sam froze in place, immediately dumbfounded.
