The Celebration Square is used for the cathedral's grand events, and it is said that the festival 'Kajimi', which was missed by the king, was held here and was led by the army of Vanna City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It's only used for big events. Yuffie said.

The two approached the celebration square side by side...... There are a lot of people, but they are all on the periphery. The only people who were officially invited could enter the interior were well-known figures in the city of Vanna.

"Archmage, this way, please. "When I saw Wang Cuo come up, someone immediately stepped forward to receive him.

Because the location of the Wizards' Guild is different from other places, it needs to be seated separately.

"Then I'll go over there!" Yuffie pointed in the other direction, where many City Academy students sat and were still in uniform. No matter where it was, it was very conspicuous, and Wang Cuo looked around the crowd and did not find Vianna's figure. If you want to come to the city lord's mansion, you should have special rights, so don't sit among the students.

"Then I'm over?" Yuffie waved his hand and stood there to look at Wang Cuo, and before he could reply, he immediately turned around and ran towards the student's position.

"Let's go, Archmage. The lord and other paladins are waiting for you. The man who led the way said.

What are they waiting for me for...... Anyway, I never participated in anything before, who would care so much if he came or not!

"Lead the way. ”

The perimeter of the square is jammed with people, like a racetrack, surrounded by a center. Surrounded by chairs for the audience to sit on, they climb up like a staircase. The throne, as a person with the status of an archmage, is of course at the top.

Those who can sit at the top are also those who write about the famous families in the city of Vanna, or the powerful people...... Except for himself, only Uzrien and the other two archmages are eligible, and the rest are not in this position.

Torre Rothwell sat in the center, with guests Lynch and Livia on either side of him. Then came the priest Essorda and a group of bishops of the cathedral, with the Wizards' Guild on the other side. The king's position is also on the side.

I'm the last to arrive, and it seems like it's all the same. No one gave him a good face, and the archmage on the side nodded slightly. However, Wang Cuo noticed that Isoda glanced to his side, and the strange smile on his face disappeared for a moment.

He sat down, and the position was exactly in the middle of the field directly below.

A total of 12 people will be 'baptized' today, and there is a fire burning in a large brazier next to it...... It appears that someone was confirmed to have been burned at the stake. They were all expressionless and chained to wooden stakes, mostly women, except one male. The Witch Order has always been a predominantly female organization.

Although it didn't snow, it was still cold. The twelve men were all thinly dressed, especially the women, who had almost only a few pieces of fabric to cover the shy places. They all bowed their heads and seemed to be very weak.

Wang Cuo remembered that a few of them were still very plump when they saw them two days ago, and how they saw everyone now looked skinny.

"Archmage Wang Cuo, I heard that these people are all important members of the 'witch group', and I am worried that someone will come to make trouble later. We need to pay more attention!" said another archmage beside him.

Yes, I haven't heard from Andrea lately. I don't know what's going on with her, but if the Witch Colony makes a move, the best time has passed. He searched the venue for hundreds of other paladins, but except for Lynch and Livia, there were a few others below.

There were guards standing everywhere behind him, and I thought that there would be no shortage of precautions in such an occasion. The Witch Colony should have come a long time ago, or if they came today, they would have suffered...... In other words, the other party is just taking advantage of the crowd to make trouble.

"Hmm. Wang Cuo's simple answer made the other party very unhappy, but he didn't dare to say anything and could only frown.

Whoever made this young archmage have such a high magical talent will soon catch up with Uzrien's talent!

Wang Cuo looked down and saw a person waving to him, and Wei Anna was sitting with a group of richly dressed women. A few of them have been seen at many banquets, and they are supposed to be the families of the nobles in Vanna.

Wei Anna beckoned to herself but did not speak, although it was not far away, but there were still many people separated by it, and it was too loud to call. So Wang Cuo just smiled and nodded to indicate that he saw it.

Everyone who came to watch the baptism in the celebration square was very early, and Wang Cuo was already late. He sat down for a while, and before he could even wait for the servant to pour tea for everyone, the sunlight shone in from the corner of the eastern view. Only then did Wang Cuo realize that the whole square was built according to this custom, because the light from the sun could just go down the stairs next to the seats.

"Let's get started. He heard Torre Roswell's voice coming from beside him.

Then came the sound of drums and trumpets, the sound of musical instruments characteristic of Vanna. Then a bishop of the cathedral appeared in the middle of the room, and Essolda and the two paladins next to him stood up and said goodbye to the people around them, because they had to lead the baptism themselves.

"Archmage, I wonder if I can invite you along? Elsolda and Lynch said to themselves as they walked up to the king.

He couldn't help but wonder why these two guys had suddenly invited him to go with him, and he saw that the Lord of Torre and Uzrien both gave him an affirmative look.

Could it be that a few of them recommended it?

"It's almost time, let's go. Archmage!" Lynch said and was about to pull Wang Cuo's arm, but was freed by the other party.

"Let's go. He said.

An archbishop in the hall was already reciting the holy words in the direction of the sun, and he could hear a shout from the people in the room, some of whom were chanting.

When he reached the lowest floor, Wang Cuo found that the original entire celebration square could accommodate so many people! I'm afraid there were tens of thousands of people. He looked up at the crowd of people sitting above him.

"The first person to be baptized is to go through the baptism of fire, and the archmage is not a flame mage. Let's do it with the Holy Fire. Essoda pointed to the large brazier blazing in front of him.

At this time, two strong soldiers untied the woman who was tied to the first stake.

"Don't ...... Please. No...... I don't want to die. The twelve men who had not spoken until they were about to be dragged into the brazier did not make a fuss.

The two soldiers held her down, but fortunately the woman was very thin...... The struggle was fierce, but it didn't break free from the soldiers' hands.

The brazier was burned red......

The crowd of spectators began to shout......

Burn her, burn her. There are also people whistling.

Ah!! when the woman's feet were first poked into the brazier, the heart-rending howl was almost over the crowd.

The surrounding sounds were louder.

The white, tender flesh was expanding at a rate visible to the naked eye, as the water in the flesh evaporated, and the skin cracked and tore the visible flesh. Her body began to tremble...... Twitch.

"Necromancer, save me...... Save me...... Ye Liangchen!"

When he heard the name, Wang Cuo instinctively trembled. Only then did I remember that there were two people standing beside me......

He turned around just in time to see Lynch and Essolda laughing weirdly.

"Long time no see! Necromancer. ”
