While the Storm Castle is celebrating the New Year, the Royal City of Andorra, which is almost 200 kilometers away from the Storm Castle, is also celebrating the arrival of the New Year.

Unlike border towns like Storm Castle, which are always on guard against monster attacks, the Royal City of Andorra is located in the interior of the French Empire, surrounded by several territories, unless it is a national war, it is difficult to face the threat of war, so the excitement of the New Year's celebration in the Royal City of Andorra is far greater than that of a border town like Storm Castle.

The Cathedral of Andorra la Vella, where many devout congregants will come this evening to pray and thank God Almighty for the gift of the Lord of Light. Due to the large number of people, the adjoining antechamber of the Inquisition was also opened for prayer for the faithful.

And in this group of believers, a few familiar faces appeared, Hera was wearing a white robe of light sacrifice, strangely appeared in the priest procession presiding over Mass, and in front of her, Rose and Alice, two witches, were also kneeling and bowing their heads, praying sincerely, and there was no trace of witches on their bodies.

When the prayer was in progress, Hera stood up, walked up to the Archbishop of Andorra la Vella, and said to him: "Lord Ore, tonight's New Year's Eve Mass was a success, and the Cardinal will probably be satisfied. ”

Hearing Hera say this, Ole also said with a smile on his face: "Thank you very much for Priest Hera's affirmation, I hope you can help me convey to the cardinal, Orei will always be the most loyal servant of God." ”

"I will, you can continue to celebrate Mass, these two believers want to repent to the great God, I will take them to the prayer room. ”

"Go, Priest Hera. ”

Hera nodded reverently, and then took Rose and Alice and walked to the back of the Inquisition, where there was a special secret room for some lost people to confess.

Walking out of Archbishop Ore's sight, Alice patted her chest and said in a frightened tone: "Archwitch Hera, I was really worried about being discovered by the Holy See Archbishop just now, if he probed the magical power on our bodies, it would be exposed. ”

Hearing Alice's scared words, Hera just smiled and replied: "There are tens of thousands of praying people here, how can he investigate them one by one." And you were brought in by me personally, and the power of light in me is purer than this archbishop, and it is a mockery to say. ”

There was a kind of contempt on the corners of Hera's mouth, these people in the Holy See could never have imagined that a witch who was judged evil in their eyes, the magic of light was purer than their archbishop, and that she also pretended to be a priest of light sent by the Holy See to preside over the New Year's prayers, which was really ironic.

Watt was imprisoned in the dungeon of the Inquisition, but unlike Gandalf, who was a dangerous "prisoner", Watt was just an alchemist with no magical abilities, so he was only imprisoned in the prison of ordinary prisoners.

However, Andorra la Vella is a royal city after all, and unlike the Storm Castle, where only priests guard the dungeons, there are Teutonic knights, one of the three major orders of the Holy See. Different from ordinary knights, the three major knights of the Holy See all have light magic blessed by the Pope, and it can be said that they all belong to the type of magic knights, and their defensive strength is much stronger.

But this kind of problem is no problem for Alice, but when she is about to reach the door of the dungeon, a purple light appears on Alice's body, and soon the eyes of the Teutonic knights guarding the dungeon become misty.

When they saw Hera walking over, they saluted and shouted, "Archbishop Ore." ”

Hera was not surprised by their words, but replied solemnly: "Well, I'm going to enter the dungeon to interrogate a heresy, so open the door." ”

"Yes, Archbishop. ”

After the two Teutonic knights responded, they turned around and opened the door to the dungeon, allowing the latter Hera and the others to enter.

This is Alice's natural magic illusion, as long as you are unprepared, you can easily be hallucinated by Alice. Especially these knights with weak magical resistance, it was almost effortless, and Hera and a few of them entered the dungeon.

The dungeons of the royal city of Andorra are already full of prisoners, and the world, like the earth, has awakened over time, like the Renaissance on earth. Therefore, under the impact of many cutting-edge ideas, there are more and more statements that violate the laws and regulations of the Holy See, and the heretics who are arrested are naturally overcrowded.

However, Watt was still a well-known figure in the Andorran Princes, especially for his extraordinary achievements in watchmaking and other classified instruments, which also laid the foundation for him to improve the steam engine.

It was only because of his admiration for machines, his doubts about divine power, and the recent discovery by the Holy See that he also had a close connection with the dwarves, and was finally judged a heretic by the Inquisition and imprisoned in a single room in the dungeon.

However, even if he stays in the dungeon, Watt still believes that his mechanical power will eventually shine on this continent, replace manpower, and even challenge the so-called divine power. So inside the dungeon, Watt was still thinking about how to keep the steam engine more efficient.

Hera and the others came to Watt's cell, and after confirming that he was the person Duke wanted, they directly ordered the Teutonic knight to open the cell door and prepare to take him away.

"Who are you?"

Alice didn't use illusions on Watt, so he saw several women appear in the dungeon and subconsciously asked.

"We are the ones who have come to save you, so come with us. ”

Hera replied briefly, and then prepared to leave the dungeon with Watt.

But they didn't expect that Watt was unwilling to leave like this, but chose to resist. Because Watt's family is a staunch believer, although he is no longer in prison, and Watt still firmly believes that his mechanical power will rule the continent, he still believes in religion devoutly, and even fantasizes that the Cult of Light can recognize his theories and wash away his heretical title.

If you just escape from the dungeon, you will be a heretic, and you will never be able to prove yourself again.

When Rose heard this, she said coldly, "Do you want to die? The Inquisition has already convicted you of heretical, and you still refuse to admit your guilt, and you will soon be on the gallows, do you know?"

They will only be blinded for a moment, and they will eventually understand that I am still a devout believer. Watt retorted loudly.

"If you want them to believe in your piety, are you willing to give up your mechanical research?"

Faced with Rose's rhetorical question, Watt was silent. This is the psychological contradiction of all people in the Middle Ages, including Copernicus, the former doctor of theology, and Father Bruno, on the one hand, the old faith, and on the other hand, the truth that they have discovered and pursued. When there is a contradiction between the two, after all, you have to choose to give up one side.
