There is a reason why the Light and Shadow Holy Cult is not tolerant of witches, black magic, and the like. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAnd the reason for this is not only related to the holy scriptures of light and shadow. It is also because there was a witch who set off a massacre in the Holy Pillar City.

This fear was once deeply rooted in people's hearts. Although people's fear is not so heavy now, it is natural that they will not treat girls who are contaminated by the blood of witches.

So, here's your answer. Carnet looked at the paladin and reminded him, "You also think Ash should be executed, do you? I'm not in a position to dictate your faith, because I don't know if it's the right thing to do." It's just that you don't have the face to see Ash because of this? ”

"I ...... Many girls have been seen executed in church squares. I don't know how many people have been executed at the execution table there. When I learned many years ago that Ash would be one of them sooner or later...... My faith was shaken by the greatest shake of my life. The paladin's voice was already a little hoarse: "But this can only be said to be fate." So is Ash, and so am I...... None of that can change that. ”

"What are these girls guilty of, what are they guilty of?" and that's when I really started to think. The paladin snorted, as if mocking himself: "Utter hypocrite...... It wasn't until the catastrophe came that I realized that I was this kind of person. ”

At least you're in your head......

"And what about your faith now?" Feeling that the discussion was almost over, Canette asked the paladin before leaving.

"Although I was confused, I was still very determined. The paladin's expression was still helpless. But when I mentioned this topic, I cheered up a little.

"Is that important compared to your daughter?" Carnett's eyes narrowed.

"You don't understand, Mr. Cannet. The paladin's tone was still tired: "This ...... It must be done. When an entire group of consciousness is expecting this tradition to be carried out, any mistake can cause the group's beliefs to waver and panic. ”

"Then I'll translate it. You execute these girls not only to avoid possible crises, but also to stop panic and strengthen the faith. Canette stared at the paladin and said sharply: "To put it bluntly, they just use their bodies as ritual items to consume." Let me ask you, what is the point of public executions? Since ancient times, they have been held to deter and satisfy people's hatred of the executed. If you just want to purify those children, why don't you give them a knife? You don't have to be tortured for half a day and you can't die. ”

"I can't deny it. The paladin's expression was helpless and stiff: "Naturally, this is equivalent to a ritual." However, it was not used for sacrifice. Faith needs to be supported by many aspects. There are still some residents who have experienced the slaughter of witches, and you can't imagine how relieved they are to see these girls executed. ”

Some people may find it difficult to accept that it is ridiculous for the Holy See to do so.

But just as he always thinks about monsters, he is often denounced for being inhuman, bloodless and tearless, so the demon hunter falls silent. In his opinion. This kind of thing is an outsider and cannot be emotional.

People are always prone to sympathize with the weak. So I will subconsciously pity these girls. In fact, it's really pitiful.

But from the side of the Holy See, it is really helpless. They had to put the girls to death, not out of hatred for themselves - but because the children were unlucky enough to be stained with witch blood.

...... There is no right or wrong in this. But the Holy See's approach has not become cruel or high-sounding because of this.

"I don't think you're doing right or wrong, I'm a complete bystander. Canette felt that there was nothing more to say if we continued to talk. He just felt sorry for Ash: "But you're just using them as consumables." ”

"Maybe you don't understand...... What is necessary must be executed in public. The paladin looked at the witcher, as if he could see the upset that Canette couldn't let go, and sighed, "I'm sorry, but you're not in a good mood...... But maybe you'll see it with your own eyes. ”

"What do you mean. Canette frowned warily.

"In another hour or so, a public execution will begin in the church square. The paladin looked at the clock and said in a heavy tone, "You've noticed, Mr. Cannet. When you come, there should be quite a few people gathered in the church square. ”

“...... Well. Carnett's heart tightened: It turns out that those people are not just here to see the holy pillar?

Indeed, there are a few too many people there.

And...... I remember that someone was actually building a platform there.

Is it an execution table after a long day?

"I even think it's point. Canette was a little upset, after all, after reading this kind of thing, I am afraid that I will feel congested: "Compared to this, you might as well think about how to write a letter or send a message to Ash." I'm definitely going back. ”

“...... Tell her that Daddy is sorry for her. The paladin was silent for a long time, and only said such words.

"That's it?" Canette glanced at the paladin, still hoping he would change his mind.

"In addition...... I hope you can still check it out. For some reason, the paladin spoke again, hoping that Canette would go to the church square to see the execution: "Mr. Cannet, you don't want to be suspicious, do you? If you feel that the execution is too cruel, you can not watch it, but ...... Please pay attention to the state of the onlookers. ”

"......" Canette didn't say anything, and just turned away. At the same time, he deliberately stood there for a while after closing the door.

The paladin sighed and pulled out the letter from Ash. While watching, he muttered to himself with mixed emotions: "This kid ...... Still so optimistic......"

The Parchment Scroll that Tells Ancient Memories: The Practical Battle.

Protective Magic Shield.

Caster: Tina. Ethnicity and Gender: Aya Female.

Tina shook the cat's ears as hard as she could, trying to channel the mana.

But no matter how hard I tried, I still couldn't succeed - there was always a feeling of almost something.

"Woo......" Tina hung her head in frustration, her tail wilting.

"Would you like to have some wine, Tina?" Mellon handed over a glass of wine with a hippie smile, "Hey, take your time." What we have is time. In fact, even if you can't use magic, you won't be delayed. ”

"How so!" Tina was disappointed, "Wouldn't I be able to help then?" ”

"Why can't my wife help?" Mellon coughed, put down his glass, and picked up Tina: "Come on, Tina, let's go change our brains." ”

Then Mellon threw Tina on the bed and her.

The next morning, Tina wakes up happily to find that she can release a magic shield.

It can be seen that it takes an opportunity to unleash new magic.
