Chapter 31: The Witch's End
However, April's worries were clearly unnecessary.
Because, it didn't take long for the baffle to sound softly.
This made her startled at first, and thought to the bad side: Am I being discovered?
So what to do with Eno and this big ball?
Then, he settled down: because it was indeed Enoace who returned.
She jumped from it, grabbed the ladder with her hands, and quietly closed it again.
"How's it going?" asked April, excitedly, as she didn't expect Inoace to come back so quickly.
"Found it...... It went well. Ino's expressionless face looked very serious: "However, it didn't go well. ”
"How-how?" Aprile wished she could say more simply.
"I found the cell, but I fainted. Ino tried to draw a hand to the scene, but apparently unsuccessfully: "Blood, a lot." The injury was severe and unconscious. ”
"Yes, how old is the child, what does it look like?" "Aprile was distressed for a moment, and asked eagerly, "And the race? What about the injury? The girl is a male or female?"
"Human ...... Fourteen or fifteen years old Blonde hair, lots of whiplashes and marks of beatings, treated. Girl. Eno thought for a moment and summed up his thoughts like this,
...... Wait, did I ask some brainless question?
It's as if asked: the girl is a male and female.
......
This kind of question can probably only be used to ask the male Aya who does not seem to have masculine characteristics.
"Is it only fourteen or fifteen years old......" April was sad, "poor ...... She really didn't know how long she would live if she continued like this. ”
"Get on the road early...... It's more comfortable" Ino took over the conversation, his expression seemed a little sad: "If you ask for information, you will be killed." Turn into a puppet. ”
"......!" the Transfiguration Orb seemed to be in a hurry, and had been spinning since it had just begun.
"Can't you save her?" April asked, dismayed, "Even if you ask, it's ...... vain."
"Nope. Ino replied succinctly, falling silent. After a moment, he continued: "Once upon a time, the witch was sixteenth birthday, kill it. ”
"It's cruel, but Lena isn't a witch at all. Aprili muttered angrily.
"What Ino means, in the past, witches were publicly executed, and no one wanted to save them. Now, unjustly. Claiming to be a witch, no one cares. Died silently, but no one watched. Above, covered. The Witcher's words are not believed. No investigation, no evidence. Ino sat quietly on the ground and uttered these words.
Her meaning was instantly understood by April.
Enauas is saying that the witches who were caught in the past were raised in prison by the Holy See until they were sixteen years old, and they would be publicly executed on their birthdays, and no one wanted to save them, so that they could continue to live to see if they could control the dark magic (the witches at that time were not as high as the current time and space rate), and they all thought they were damned.
Nowadays, there are occasional people who have been wrongfully accused of being witches who are sold into slavery or killed in prison, and as long as they are said to be witches to the outside world, no one cares about the dead and the dead and the corpses. The difference is just that it dies silently and no one watches.
None of the girls who were sold into slavery lived long. After all, he is not a properly registered slave, and he will definitely be interrogated once he is discovered. If there is evidence of the wrongful witch, something big will definitely happen. Such a private keeping of illegal slaves can only be imprisoned in a place like a dungeon.
But in fact, these girls have come to this point because of who they have offended, otherwise if they are just taken care of, they can be manipulated to make them incur debts or create other forms of unjust crimes, or they can be forcibly captured by gangsters and finally make their consciousness completely surrender and sign a slave contract.
In short, since she fell into the hands of the master who hates her, don't think about it. Keeping illegal slaves in your own mansion is like wrapping fire in unpacked fireproof paper, and although the security measures are relatively well-established, there is always the possibility of an accident: someone inadvertently leaks something like that. As a result, slaves were often killed in a hurry when they were searched. After all, even if you hide it through a secret passage, taking out the slaves in the future will make the situation even more dangerous if there is a leaker.
The corpse didn't have to worry, there was no evidence that she was an illegal slave anyway.
Why are they so sensitive when it comes to witches? Because normally, even if an illegal slave is discovered, he will only be fined money or something. And if the matter of the unjust witch is exposed, it will involve the production of potions behind it, necromantic dolls and other extremely profitable things. The participants all have oil and water, and the incident itself is dead.
Therefore, it must be extremely sensitive, so that people can't grasp the horse's feet. This must not be discovered. In view of the fact that this is not the default situation in the industry, most of the inquisitions are really serious about catching witches (especially those opened by the Holy See, the process of confirming the identity of witches is extremely cautious and responsible, and there are rarely meaningless torture of witches). So even if a little wind may be able to suppress it, there will always be surprises. The way to prevent accidents is, of course, to kill the bought "witch" slaves as soon as possible.
Therefore, as long as he is imprisoned in the judgment center, he will definitely not live long. The difference is only how many days you can live and who you will be put to death.
In short, it is basically foolproof to kill a girl and let the Inquisition do it. The procedures on the surface are all working very well, and no one is suspicious. It's just that if you choose to kill her with your own hands, you need to have at least a space like a dungeon in your home, and do it as soon as possible. If you spend too long, you will definitely be prone to accidents.
There is no evidence at all that she is not a witch. The one-sided words of the demon hunters have no credibility before the Inquisition.
At this time, the most anxious thing is the Transfiguration Magic Ball.
It kept turning around, and it was in a hurry when it looked at it.
But no matter how urgent she is, there seems to be nothing that can save her. April is also reluctant, but at least wants to figure out what her employer wants her to do.
Judging from the current situation, Lena basically knows that she will not live long, and in this case, most of what she wants April to do is to at least save the magic ball.
...... For a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, he certainly can't endure torture for too long. What she hoped for was that Aprily would complete the commission as soon as possible. As for why she was tortured like that, it is estimated that one of the important reasons is that she is already dead: knowing that she is dead, everyone will hold on for a while longer.
At the moment, I think that the commission must be to take the Transfiguration Orb away: knowing that it is this kind of monster, April has already understood why the Inquisition wants it: this monster is valuable.
Perhaps this time it was not even commissioned by anyone, but the Inquisition's own actions.
