Bidding farewell to the paladin, Canette had a complicated heart, and after politely declining the butler's invitation to lunch, he went straight out the door. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"......" Al was in front of the door, staring at Canette with serious eyes. It seemed to wonder what Canette had heard.

This is one of the reasons why the witchers want El to become a human. You can take her with you wherever you go. Al, this guy must work very well if he is an assistant.

At least you don't have to explain a lot of things to her.

Canette wasn't in a good mood at this time, but he still had to explain his meeting with the paladin to Al right away.

He said it briefly, but the important things were basically stated.

Al listened, his expression thoughtful, not knowing what he was thinking.

Although the horse's expression is not easy to see what he is thinking, it is.

"What are you going to do?" Al suddenly stopped, using his magic to draw a line on the ground.

The words quickly faded away, and Carnet fell into a brief silence.

"I don't have time to see executions. Bored. Canette snorted, choosing not to think about it, "Let's go, let's go back and meet Ash." Let's get this done today. ”

"Come on, see what's there?" Al wrote on the ground again, "Don't you want to know what the paladins want you to see?"

"......" remembers what Zerata said, and Canette is eventually piqued with curiosity.

"So be it...... Let's go check it out. Canette was also a little annoyed: Why is he irrational now?

Although I don't want to see the execution of these girls at all, I ...... You have to go to the site.

Because it is necessary to see how the audience reacts. Maybe that will help me understand the whole situation.

Isn't it the way the paladins do it? Under the neutral attitude, there must be their own subjective opinions. And Carnett knew exactly what was going on in his heart.

It's simple, I just don't understand it.

What he didn't understand wasn't why the girls were killed. Rather, they do not understand the need for public executions.

In these years, the public executions were carried out by the most heinous people. Is witches' blood enough to make their sins so great?

Demon hunters don't understand it at all.

So he didn't understand why the paladin had to let him come and see the execution. What does that mean?

Soon, Canette rode El to Cathedral Square. It hadn't been long since the last time the two of them had passed by, and no less than ten times as many people had gathered. It seems like the whole city is rushing here. And the high execution platform has been erected.

The shape of the base of the execution table is very ordinary, and the extraordinary part lies in the top: it seems to be a torture instrument used to hold the maiden in place, and it looks like a steel cross. There are eyes at intervals, and the limbs are placed with curved steel rings to restrain the victim.

Behind the cross, there is some kind of punitive apparatus. It seems that the person next to him can push the mechanism inside the cross with a pull of the handle, and pierce the girl who is fixed to it with a spike that bursts out.

Maybe the spikes aren't too long, but they're sure to pierce the body.

Simple and easy-to-understand torture instruments...... Canette frowned: but ...... It's cruel.

The small hole in the torture instrument was clearly visible to Cannet. They all deliberately avoided the fatal parts. In other words, if you are pierced through your body by the spikes released by the mechanism, you will not die immediately.

Because all kinds of important organs and arteries are avoided, the pierced girl may have to remain conscious and lose blood for a long time before she can breathe. The cause of death was purely excessive blood loss.

, it hurts to think about it...... Canette gritted her teeth and felt a chill: I don't want to see the end.

It's just cruel. If I were to design a torture device, it would be something like a guillotine, which is simple and brutal and not much pain to kill with a single knife.

The more he watched, the more helpless he felt, and at the same time he heard people talking excitedly. They were discussing which witch to execute today.

At the same time, there are some people with angry faces. One of the old men was even shouting loudly, attracting the attention of many people. He angrily accused the witch of how he had killed his wife and children, and how he had watched her be executed before the table of justice.

I understand your anger...... Canette listened to the old man's words and thought secretly: But ...... As far as I know, only a handful of children with the blood of witches will harm people.

Most witches are unusually low-key, even kind. I've met quite a few of these girls. The blood of witches brings longevity (for short-lived races) and the power of dark magic, but it should not be hated.

Many of the forces in this World Tree will lead to a long life - probably because the first Eborn who came out of the Black Lake had a long life.

The Light and Shadow Holy Sect's ability to capture the witch's action is simply too sensitive. It's simply not a "deep hatred" that can be summed up.

I don't know how many good witches have been executed here. And the pure children will also be locked up because of the blood of this witch, and they will be slaughtered when they grow up.

Religion always has some extremes. The extreme point of the Holy Cult of Light and Shadow is on the black magic.

Sadly, there is no such thing as being extreme. These children are sinners in their eyes.

They were born to deserve to be killed - and it was even thought too cheap to have them imprisoned until they were sixteen and then put to death.

It wasn't that Carnet didn't think he had to look at it from the moral high ground, but because he had been to too many places in the World Tree, and had seen many similar things before.

Condensing the arcane magic, a ray burst out from the elf's hand, hitting the enemy's shield.

The shield-bearer was knocked back, and the shield in his hand was pierced a moment later, succumbing to the arcane ray.

This shows how important it is to buy a shield of better quality.

That way, you won't be able to defend against this constant magical offensive for long.

Whether or not the shield's material is resistant to magic and whether it is enchanted with an anti-magic effect also determines their resistance to magic.

What are the advantages of ray-based attack magic?

It's this continuity. It can continuously attack a line.

In this way, a single point of defensive magic is useless.
