Carnett's speculation that Ash was going to be killed recently wasn't entirely conjectural. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info He had a basis for speculation.

Because when he read his mind before, he noticed that the paladin's contradictory thinking was always full of conflicts between faith and his sense of responsibility as a father.

That's why he's hesitant to decide about something.

Linked to the fact that Ash was dying when he read the mind......

Although there is no other information, it can still be guessed whether Ash is going to be killed because of his identity as a witch, and this paladin is unable to protect his daughter because of his position.

The paladin in front of him was silent, but the confusion of his thoughts became more intense.

Obviously, his mood was fluctuating.

"I'll be more detailed. "Cannett knew it was going well.

That's it.

His heart began to beat faster.

"You...... If you don't reply to her, you have to cut ties with your daughter, who is called a witch and is going to be executed, or else you will be caught by others and question your faith. After all, this seems to be a serious matter. Because this pressure from faith and public opinion from the outside world makes you involuntarily, you can only snub your daughter, that's all. Canette said these words in one breath, as if he really understood everything.

And the paladin only sighed and did not question it.

Canette had never heard such a heavy sigh.

The helplessness contained in it makes it difficult to breathe.

"I didn't expect you to see through it...... Indeed, my faith and duty make it necessary for me to stand firm against witches. However...... That's my daughter, and I never got it. The paladin's tone was quite old: "I...... No choice. ”

"Wait, can you tell me all over again? As I said, I can only see through part of the facts, but I can't connect them. Carnett's heart sank, and he hastened to make a request that he wanted to hear from the beginning: the paladin's train of thought seemed to be confused now.

“...... I still can't tell you much. It's just that...... My daughter was found to be a witch when she was a child - the kind of woman who was tainted by the blood of witches. No one knows why, but it's a random mutation...... Just like some humans gave birth to a child who turned out to be Aya. The witch is considered a symbol of filth in our sect. ”

That's true...... Such a girl will have a great talent for black magic.

"I know you're going to kill the witch, so why wasn't she killed when she was a child?" Canette was silent for a moment, and began to feel flustered: I seem to know what the Shadow Knight means.

"The rule of the Holy See is that it is not allowed to kill witches under the age of sixteen...... Because the blood of witches will only work at the age of sixteen. Until then, they will be locked up and executed on their sixteenth birthday. And my daughter Ash...... Because of her serious illness and my intercession, she was not imprisoned in the church. But because of the new pope in the past two years, his serious policies have made it impossible for me to get close to my daughter. ”

"......" Canette didn't say a word. Because he only felt helpless.

The so-called witch's blood is actually a bloodline mutation with a talent for black magic. It only happens in the body of girls under the age of ten.

It stands to reason that it is a blessing.

I don't know how many girls were killed after seeing the sky on their sixteenth birthday because of this. The Church's original intention was to try to purify the witch's blood in the process of imprisoning them, but this proved impossible.

There is no chance of coming of age until he dies. The saddest thing is that he was not liked since he was a child, and he still bears a lot of infamy after his death. Being executed is actually called purifying her and hoping that her soul will rest in peace.

Before they died, they probably didn't understand why so many people came to watch, and why everyone was applauding while scolding themselves when they were confused by the pain of being executed.

In this life, I live in vain, and I don't die happily.

"Ash's health is very poor, I heard that he has been weak since he was a child, and he is seriously ill and bedridden. If this is the case, why should she be executed, and let her spend the rest of her life in a short time? Canette straightened up calmly and raised his doubts.

"No...... You don't understand, Mr. Cannett. After pondering for a moment, the paladin's expression was full of helplessness: "Those who possess the blood of witches will suffer greatly after death. In order to prevent this from happening, we need to purify them before they are liberated. ”

“...... Oh. When Canette heard this, he sneered, "I wonder if these girls would not have been slaughtered like cattle by you, and would they not have suffered at all after death?

The Paladin ...... helpless, but it seemed that Carnett's words didn't hurt him.

This person's performance is completely as if he is also questioning all this. And this doubt may have arisen at the moment when the daughter was announced to be executed in the future.

"Does your daughter Ash know all this?" Canette changed his seat and stared at the paladin solemnly, "I don't think the villagers haven't leaked the news." ”

"Definitely know something. The paladin's sad expression caused him to look a lot older: "But...... She pretended she didn't know anything. ”

"Your daughter will be sixteenth in a few days...... Canett frowned, feeling a little sour, but because he had seen a lot of sad things as a demon hunter, he had to pretend not to care: "Are you really not going to take her over? ”

“...... Not necessarily. The paladin sighed heavily, as if making a difficult decision: "I...... I didn't have the face to see her. ”

Seeing that Asha, who was picking fruit from the tree, accidentally fell down and didn't have time to spread her wings, Lucina hurriedly flashed over and hugged her.

"Really...... You still have a baby in your belly, so it's good to pick the fruit and find me?" Lucina put down Aiya in her arms very reproachfully, and reached out to touch the stomach of Asha, who was apologizing in a whisper: "Wow...... The baby is moving!"

"Hmm. Asha blushed and touched her stomach.

"Have you figured out what the child's name is?" Lucina excited.

"The child's father (Wolf King Jeos) and I have discussed it, and we plan to call it Lusa. Yasha looked happy: "It must be a very cute little Aya, right?"
