Chapter Seventy-One: Only Money Can Be Mixed In
At this time, in the wide square of Tirino, the inhabitants of the city were gathered. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the center of these inhabitants was a stone platform with nearly ten huge pillars, each of which was supported by an unkempt and bloodstained alien.
At the feet of these aliens, piles of firewood and fire oil were ready, and a thin old man dressed in the white robe of the bishop of the temple was reading the charges of these aliens on the high platform.
Obviously, when the old man in the bishop's white robe had finished reading, it was time to carry out the enduring punishment known as "burning at the stake."
"What did they do wrong?" Carlo asked Casio with a puzzled look as if he had never seen a burn at the stake.
Casio's voice was a little cold: "Just listen to what the bishop says." ”
However, after the white-robed bishop finished saying a lot of charges, Casio's face gradually turned cold.
Don't look at what the white-robed bishop said a lot, but it boils down to one sentence: "These aliens not only do not believe in the gods of dawn and peace, but also rebel against the Church, so they will be killed today as an example." ”
Shaking his head, Casio sighed slightly dissatisfied.
In the past, Casio had seen these burns at the stake, but he hadn't really seen any church use them. Unexpectedly, not long after he came to this world, he was fortunate enough to see it.
Despite the existence of true gods in the Gherea, these true gods rarely bother with mortal matters except for the occasional miracle.
Although the true God does not ask questions, as the spokesman of the true God in the world, no matter how much he believes in his own gods, he will inevitably have the selfish desires that he should have as a flesh-and-blood creature with self-thoughts.
Therefore, the relationship between theocracy and kingship, between theocracy and theocracy, seems to coexist in harmony on the surface, but there are not many small hands and feet in the secret.
In the medieval period of a certain area in Casio's last life, the church burned witches, but Casio has always been uncomfortable, but I didn't expect that this place in Gurea is also unavoidable.
As the white-robed bishop finished speaking, the surrounding residents were already furious and began to shout words such as "burn them".
Some even tried to rush to the vicinity of the high platform to beat up the aliens, but in the end they were stopped by the Templars near the high platform.
Even so, the men did not give up, and began to look for everything on the ground that could be thrown, and threw it at the aliens above the stake.
The white-robed bishop saw that the crowd was agitated, and he did not stop it, and directly ordered a bonfire to be lit.
The bonfire did not burn with orange flames, but with a blazing white flame. The holy flame burned on the body, so that those aliens couldn't help but struggle one by one,
Although they obviously wanted to curse the white-robed bishop and the others in the most vicious language they could think of, they could only make some incomprehensible noises because their mouths were gagged.
Seeing these aliens struggling in pain in the scorching white flame, and finally slowly turning into charred black charcoal, the surrounding onlookers became even more excited one by one and began to dance.
"My lord, even if they make a mistake, they can be hanged, why torture them like this?" Carlo's face turned slightly pale, and he couldn't bear it.
The Holy Flame is different from ordinary flames, the burning of the Holy Flame will not only kill people, but also make the burned person suffer the most cruel torture before death, and I don't know which guy called this cruel thing the Holy Fire.
"Let's go, there's nothing to see. Casio looked at the dancing residents around him, shook his head, and said to Carlo.
If he had a choice, Casio didn't want to go to the temple of the god of dawn and peace at all, but in order to try to get in touch with Ertos, Casio had no choice but to go directly to the temple.
Bypassing the square, I came to the gate of the temple with a rather luxurious decoration, and was immediately greeted by a temple officer.
"Hello, Traveler, I wonder what happened to you coming to the temple of the God of Dawn and Peace?"
"Hello, servant of God. I am a nobleman of Dora, and because I have always believed in the god of dawn and peace, I have come here today to offer my modest reverence with a thousand gold coins. ”
Casio knew that one of the main sources of income for these temples was donations from various worshippers.
Of all the believers, the ones who were able to offer gold coins directly were the most popular among most of the temples.
Sure enough, when he heard that Casio was going to donate a thousand gold coins directly, the temple staff's eyes lit up, and his attitude took a 360-degree turn, and he was instantly smiling and enthusiastic.
"It is a privilege for our temple to have such a generous believer as you, Lord of Dawn and Peace. Distinguished guests, now that the Bishop is dealing with some heretics, please follow me into the temple and wait for a moment. ”
A thousand gold coins is not a small amount, and in a small city like Tyreno, it is completely enough for a person at the level of a bishop to receive it in person.
And Carlo on the side was completely stunned by Casio's sudden words, he and Casio have been together for a short time, but according to his observations, he didn't know that this prince would actually be a believer in the gods.
However, although Carlo has little experience in traveling, he is not a fool, and he almost guessed what Casio's purpose should be in doing this.
He didn't say much at the moment, and walked with Casio to the inside of the temple under the warm reception of the temple staff.
Casio was treated as a "fat sheep" by the temple staff because he threatened to donate a thousand gold coins directly, and led them directly to the most luxurious living room to wait for the bishop.
And in the process of waiting, all good things were sent to Casio and the two without hesitation, and there were special personnel waiting outside, obeying the arrangements of the Casio and the two at any time.
They weren't afraid of Casio's words, after all, everyone who deliberately had fun in the temple had warned the world with a lesson in blood that this kind of fun was not fun at all.
After a short time, accompanied by a series of slight footsteps and the clashing of armor, the thin white-robed bishop that Casio had seen in the square arrived with several Templars.
"Devout believers, it's hard work for you to come from afar. I am Saunders Ivan, Bishop of the Temple of the Dawn and Peace in Tirino. The white-robed bishop apparently learned of the fact that Casio was a "fat sheep" and spoke enthusiastically as soon as he entered.
"Dear Bishop, just call me Brown. Casio also replied with a smile as he didn't report his last name.
However, his gaze was not on Sanders, but on a Templar behind Sanders.
