"Public executions will continue here for the next three days. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 One of the clergy declared: "This pain will be used to pay for her sins." ”

"Three, three days, ......?" the girl's face was completely engulfed in fear. She tried to cry, but this was also forced back by the sense of fear:

"No, don't...... Do well, have mercy on me, and kill me now......"

She began to struggle on the cross, and the great fear seemed to completely crush her.

"You're not...... Are you going to kill me? So, why are you torturing me......

The girl's crying, no one sympathized at all. Instead, it provoked a new round of ridicule, banter and duty.

No one seems to think that this kind of execution is cruel, they all think that this girl completely deserves it.

There must have been people who sympathized with her, but most of them were silent. Or maybe they didn't come at all.

But do you really have no idea about the execution...... Canette suddenly felt that this was a bit excessive.

...... But maybe it was to keep her from getting too scared. But wouldn't it be better to be mentally prepared in advance.

In this case, some painkillers or immediate relief can seem extremely benevolent. Even if the criminal law itself is cruel enough.

The moment the execution was announced, the air in the execution ground seemed to freeze.

People were nervous and excited waiting for the moment when the girl was pierced. And the girl looked very nervous. She desperately closed her eyes, and every minute and second was a huge torment.

And all of this was broken when the handle that controlled the spikes was pulled apart.

In an instant, the silence was broken by the sharp sound of spikes. The sound was accompanied by the sound of flesh piercing through the body with spikes about twenty centimeters long.

Immediately, blood began to flow slowly from the piercing points of more than a dozen spikes. The girl's eyes snapped into closed eyes, and a painful whimper erupted in her throat.

The body and limbs were completely pierced at this time.

Such a wound is enough to keep the nerve that feels pain from necrosis for a long time.

Tears flowed from her eyes again with sobbing, and she seemed to be rendered speechless for the time being by the great pain.

Her expression was full of pain, grievance, and disbelief.

But I couldn't bear the pain and sobs, but I couldn't stop it.

"Uh......h Why, why ......" Looking at the body that was pierced in many places and was bleeding, the girl cried and let out a small and laborious cry for mercy in despair: "Okay, it hurts...... It hurts......"

This painful torture seemed to make the girl understand what the three-day execution was all about. Her fear of death had turned into a panic about how painful the long process of death would be.

However, the crowd erupted in cheers of excitement, which immediately drowned out the girl's thin moans.

And Carnet finally realized that the paladin wanted him to see what the execution was all about.

A sense of dread pervaded my heart.

It's like seeing a crowd of people blinded by one-sided hatred marching wildly.

At the moment when the execution officially began, these people behaved like walking corpses.

They don't even know where their blind excitement comes from.

Everywhere people excitedly shouted the name of the god and cursed the witch.

The more blood that came out of the pierced girl's body, the more excited they became. Because it is the blood of a witch whom they hate. Perhaps the purpose of this method of execution was to slowly and as much blood as possible from the girl's body.

This in itself is a ritual - the use of a "holy" cross to release the blood of a "dirty" witch.

The more painful the witch became, the more fanatical they became.

Fear can be triggered by many factors.

But the fear that Canette felt now was indescribable.

How many people in this can really hate witches?

I'm afraid not one in a thousand. It's been a long time since a witch hurt someone. And I'm afraid everyone knows that these executed girls are harmless to humans and animals, and they are all living a normal and happy life.

Until he obtained the blood of the witch who was supposed to be a blessing, he will live a short life in the dungeon of the church. The sixteenth birthday gift was a blood-stained torture table obtained by piercing the cross.

They felt that by executing the witch in this way, they would demonstrate God's authority.

In this process, the people gathered together will involuntarily have the illusion of being a strong person.

This illusion can increase pride, which in turn strengthens faith.

Although absolutely unspeakable, Canette seems to feel that part of the faith here is maintained by the execution of the "little witch".

And Carnet had a vague sense of an even more terrifying way of thinking.

Why did the witch have to be executed at the age of sixteen?

Maybe...... In addition to promoting humanity, it is only because they are too young to withstand three days of torture.

"It's Winter Festival again. A jailer who liked Lucina very much and treated her very gently (called Luna at the time) sat in a chair, looked at Aya in the cell who was holding her pillow and shrunk up, and smiled, "Luna, are you happy? ”

"Hey, is that okay?" Luna was very reserved and excited, not expecting to receive a gift in her life, "But...... According to the regulations, we are not allowed to accept gifts. ”

"It's okay, you've been locked up here for so long, if you take it as a reward, everyone else will turn a blind eye. The jailer said to Lucina confidently, and at the same time mysteriously took out a package that was still bouncing: "Look, this is it!"

"Bo Li?" excitedly and nervously took the package and opened it, and this voice immediately came from inside.

"Wow......" Luna smiled happily as she pulled out the pink balloon that was bouncing inside, "It's so cute!

"Yes, I knew you liked dumplings, but it took a lot of work to get them. Seeing that Luna liked it, the jailer seemed quite pleased.

Luna, on the other hand, is happily rubbing her face on it while holding the dango when she suddenly realizes that there is some kind of connection between herself and the dango.

At that time, she didn't know that this was a contract spell.

The ability of magic is often awakened inadvertently. It's like an opportunity that you can't see.

Perhaps the jailer hadn't imagined what kind of gift he would receive from Lucina years later.
