Chapter 17: The Significance of Public Executions
In many places, there is a public execution of something, because there is always something to fear and hate in every local culture. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
And these things are chained to the execution table and always give a great sense of superiority and pleasure when killed. It was as if he had turned over all of a sudden, and had successfully fought against the object of his fear and hatred.
Even if in many cases it is only people who are unable to resist or who have no idea why they are being killed.
Mass riots, to sum it up, are probably like this.
He told himself that he shouldn't let it affect his mood, it was someone else's custom. Again and again, he pretended not to see it, and walked past various execution tables.
What if not?
As an outsider passing by, he doesn't know the rights and wrongs of the people in the bureau at all. You must recognize yourself, and don't always be self-righteous and feel like a savior or something.
What individuals perceive as justice is often a subjective idea. It's mostly bullshit.
How do you know that the person on the execution table doesn't deserve to dieβor how do you know that the person deserves to die?
Most of the time people don't think about it. Because it's too lazy to think.
They're basically just blindly conforming to the herd. Seeing that everyone was shouting for the girl's death, they followed suit.
You don't know why you're shouting until the execution table is covered in blood and the so-called witch turns into a corpse.
Everyone is shouting, so I shout too.
Everyone hates her, and I should hate her.
So, before feeling powerless to change all this, Canette always asks himself if it should all be changed.
Even if the answer is yes, it won't help. The best thing you can do for the dying man is to put away that false and meaningless look of sympathy. Don't pretend to be honest after dinner. Don't even tell someone that person is so pitiful.
Talking so much, I still want to make the hypocritical sense of justice self-satisfied. What can happen when people are dead?
The person who died is not a very important person for you. Silently pray for the other person to rest in peace after death.
This is the respect for the unjustly deceased. Carnett did not approve of the idea of honoring every deceased, because some people did not deserve respect or write off their crimes even after death. But the unjust dead are different.
Sometimes it's funny to be executed in public.
Who's going to decide if he's going to die?
This is not the execution itself, but the public execution. It's two words off, and it's a lot of meaning.
It is ...... that decide whether or not to make it public Is it the voice of the majority, or is it the decision of an authoritative organization or individual?
In short, the deterrent effect of public executions and the power of public opinion have always been highly valued.
Here's an example. A country of a certain religion was breached. The attackers decided to ban the local religion.
So what works best?
For example, the public execution of religious figures such as saints or archbishops in defeated countries could not be more effective.
As a result, victims of public executions are often victims of politics and religion. The same goes for the girl who is about to be killed, and Ash. In essence, it is a bit like the pigs, cows and sheep used in the sacrifice. It's just that the animals are usually raised for a few years at most, and the girls are raised until they are sixteen years old.
It's not very practical in a way. And the Holy See finds this very humane.
There is some truth, but thinking about it another way, instead of raising them for so long and then killing them, it is better to let them be freed immediately. It's just that this kind of life is not only not exciting, but also shorter.
In the past, when some infectious diseases spread, people who were sick had to be isolated and wait for death without medical treatment. Some countries have chosen to kill them all. The former scolded the latter for being inhumane, but how sarcastic he thought.
And also...... These girls who are going to be executed as witches are a little more distressing. That's what Canette overheard from a conversation with the crowd just now.
It seems that the girl who is about to be executed, her parents also entered the crowd.
And what came out of her father's mouth made Canette feel uncomfortable and helpless.
The man was cursing his daughter. felt that she had simply disgraced her family, and would never let her body be buried in the ancestral grave after her death. He also muttered that if the church could not be responsible for burying the witch's body, he would have thrown her body to feed the wild dogs.
It's hard to believe that such words were said to his own daughter. Dire Mael squinted at the man, seemingly full of contempt.
However......
Her mother was crying. I don't know what she thinks about this, but in short, her daughter is dying and she is very sad.
After noticing that his wife was crying, the man immediately slapped him and angrily scolded her for taking pity on that evil daughter.
From this point, Canette suddenly understood the paladin's helplessness even more: as a relatively high-level clergyman, it was indeed difficult for him to have anything to do with his daughter.
...... Even if you meet in person, it is easy to be chewed on the root of your tongue.
It will be thought that people have feelings for witches.,It's a kind of person.γ
He had to disguise his feelings, pretend to hate his daughter as much. Just talked to the Demon Hunter...... If you are heard, it will be very dangerous.
People are always willing to trust the work ethic of demon hunters. But that's not why the paladins are willing to speak.
Thinking about these things in such a drowsy way, there were more and more people gathered around.
Cannet, on the other hand, chose to step back outside. After all, it's a bit bad to ride a horse and still stand in a crowd. This not only troubles others, but also struggles when you want to leave.

Magic Scroll Telling Ancient Memories: Actual Combat
Electro Magic: Lightning Net
Caster: Salander. Ethnicity and Gender: Aya Male.

Salander condensed the mana of his palms and violently pulled out a lightning net. The enemy slashed right on the grid with his sword, and was immediately coronized due to the conductivity of the metal.
Before the enemies could catch up, Aya hurriedly expanded the power grid to two arm's lengths and pushed it out with one palm.
The lightning net quickly panned forward, pushing underneath the ramp that was wet from the leak. The pursuer immediately convulsed from the electrocution and fell to the ground with a convulsion.
Call...... It's dangerous...... Salander gasped and looked at the vanished lightning net: it was enough to delay them for a while without dying.
The advantage of parrying with a lightning net is that it can cause events such as dislocation without having to bear the shock of the weapon's impact. Of course, at the same time there are risks.
Normally, the opponent's weapons are metals that conduct electricity. In this way, once the enemy's weapon attacks the power grid, it will naturally be convulsed and even disarmed by electricity.
However, if the opponent's weapon is cast through enchantment or special materials and does not conduct electricity, it will be slashed.
This is known as the coexistence of risk and return. Therefore, before using it to parry, it is necessary to test the conductivity of the opponent's weapon.
