The season of water is the coldest and wettest season of the year, but the midday sun still firmly dispels the morning fog. It's just that the bluestone paved square in front of the black fort still looks a little wet.

Victor, under the guidance of the attendants, walked up to the high platform that had just been erected in front of the square, and the nobles on the high platform either turned a blind eye, or sneered at Baron Victor, or glared angrily.

Victor calmly walked up to the Earl of York and the Bishop beside him, made a noble salute and raised his voice, "Victor, I have seen the Governor, I have seen the Bishop. ”

The round Earl of York glared at him fiercely and snorted disdainfully, apparently still resentful of Victor's swindling of 50 purple gold coins from him.

Instead, the landlord next to him kindly gestured to him, "Baron Wimbledon, you don't need to be polite, please take your seat and witness the next ceremony." ”

Victor straightened up and glanced at him without a trace, the image of Bishop Perro imprinted in his mind with the help of the X-3 chip.

Bishop Perrault, with an ordinary face and wrinkled face, looks like a weathered old farmer. But the Bishop's eyes were calm, and although he wore a friar's linen robe of the cheapest, he was spotlessly dressed, and sometimes a faint brilliance emanated from his body, and he had a sacrosanct bearing.

Victor even noticed a thick layer of calluses between the bishop's fingers, which should be the marks left by his frequent grip on heavy weapons, and the muscles that seemed to be thin and withered under his forearms were coiled like steel.

As the bishop of the western province of the Kingdom of Gambis, Pero is pampered and has a high position, but he is not arrogant or lax, and it is a fluke that the Glorious Church can dominate the continent for thousands of years. Victor couldn't help but sigh secretly.

At this time, the people of Heibao Town began to gather in the square, and a four-meter-high copper pillar had been erected in the center of the square. The upper end of the bronze pillar is inlaid with two iron rings, and the two chains hang down from the iron rings on both sides, and such a torture pillar has ended the lives of many wizards for thousands of years.

"I heard that the wizard caught this time is Will, the gardener in the town. ”

"Will usually seems to be honest and dutiful, he goes to church every morning and evening to pray, and he has not stopped for several years, and he is praised by the priest himself as a pious, but he did not expect him to be an evil wizard. ”

"Hmph, I already knew he had a problem. ”

A man gloated and boasted of his wisdom to the people who were discussing, only to see the neighbors sneering disdainfully, and then indignantly saying, "He is the son of a groom, and he has become a gardener instead of learning to drive horses, and the flowers he has made are better than those I have cultivated in three generations of gardeners." The steward of those big families secretly told me that the flowers he sent were placed in vases with a strong fragrance, and he didn't thank them for a month. I thought he had some secret method, and I secretly observed him for a long time, but I didn't realize that he had any secret at all. Hey, that's when I knew he had a problem. ”

Seeing that everyone looked suddenly realized, the man became more and more proud, but he didn't know that their conversation had been screened out by Victor, who was more than 20 meters away, using the X-3 chip in the noisy environment.

Victor remained silent, but he was more and more sure in his heart that there must be someone else who murdered him!

At this time, one end of the crowd was separated by several clergy, and two warriors in silver-white armor dragged a man who was slumped on the ground and walked towards the bronze pillar.

Victor took care of his mind and magnified the image in his eyes to the point where it was clearly visible with the help of a chip.

The man who was half-dragged and half-dragged by the Church warriors was apparently Wizard Will. I saw that he was wearing a bloodstained linen robe, his legs were irregularly twisted, obviously broken, his bruised face was bloodless, his wet hair was messily attached to his forehead, his pale lips were trembling, and his eyes were full of fear and despair.

Victor noticed that the hapless gardener, who had no signs of constantly clutching weapons on his hands, had loose muscles and a broken will, was completely an ordinary person.

The two church warriors had already dragged the gardener to the torture pillar, and the two chains were lowered. The samurai began to fasten the chains around the gardener's wrists.

Probably knowing that time was running out, the gardener began to struggle.

"What are you doing?!Let go of me!Let go of me!I'm not the evil one!"

"Please, let me go!

The two warriors ignored him, and each grabbed the other end of the chain, and with a forceful pull, the gardener was lifted up.

Later, the burly, bearded Father Ivan, dressed in chain mail and holding a platinum scepter, walked through the passage to the high platform of the bishops and nobles.

Seeing the acquaintance, Will the gardener became more and more excited, and he cried out to the priest: "Lord Ivan, please save me, I am a pious, I am not a devil!

"Shut up, you heretic!" said the priest, his hair wide open, and he rebuked with a righteous rage, and then respectfully handed the platinum scepter to the Bishop.

This scepter, cast entirely in rare mythril and pure gold in the image of a weeping angel, the angel with a sad face and tearful eyes, the angel's body is tied to a pillar, the lower end of the pillar forms the handle of the scepter, and the angel raises his wings and hangs his hands to form the top of the scepter.

Bishop Pero took the Weeping Angel Scepter and held it high, the linen robe on the bishop's body was windless, and a little light escaped from the bishop's body, converging to the top of the scepter, and white runes were born from the void, revolving around the scepter, and suddenly, a white-gold holy fire was generated at the top of the scepter.

Seeing this miracle, there were all kinds of praises among the people, and the nobles on the high platform also showed awe, and Bishop Perot handed the scepter to Father Ivan with satisfaction.

Seeing the priest approaching with the scepter of the Holy Fire aloft, the gardener, knowing that he would not be spared, closed his eyes in despair and muttered a prayer that was all too familiar in his daily life.

"Lord, forgive me my sins and show me the way ... ”

"Blasphemy!" a samurai in armor whispered angrily, raising his sheathed sword and swinging it upward.

The "poof" sword slammed into the gardener's chin, and blood mixed with a few teeth spilled down on the square.

Amidst the exclamations, the crowd around the bronze pillar seemed to be afraid of sticking to the wizard's blood, and dodged backwards, causing chaos.

Victor looked at the Bishop's Tie Qing's face, his heart moved, and he took the opportunity to say to the Bishop: "Lord Bishop, I heard that wizards are the best at disguise, this gardener looks like a pitiful worm, but he didn't expect it to be an evil sorcerer who killed three innocent people, it's really unbelievable. ”

Victor's interruption made Bishop Perro's face pale, and he pondered for a moment and said: "Indeed, wizards are good at disguise, and it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish them, even if we clergy do not pray for demons, we can't see anything abnormal. However, the three dead had nothing to do with the wizard. ”

"Oh, isn't there another wizard who hasn't been caught?" said Victor, looking nervous as he stared at Bishop Perro.

Bishop Perro looked at the slightly agitated nobles and explained: "No, one of the three dead was the evil one, and the other two were sacrifices for his evil ritual. The sorcerer was attacked by the devil during the ritual and died during the ritual. So, don't be nervous, the clergy of our church have already held a prayer for demon identification, and now it has been confirmed that there are no other wizards around the black fort. ”

Victor glanced quickly at the Earl of York, and saw that he was looking at himself with disdain, as if despising his own cowardice, which the Earl of York had known for a long time.

Through the dead fat man's expression, Victor confirmed that what Bishop Perro said was true.

"Ahh

As the gardener struggled in pain, a green glow erupted from his body, and while repairing the gardener's body, he tried to expel the white-gold flame.

However, it seems that the flame can grow stronger by devouring these green radiances, and instead becomes more vigorous.

"Sure enough, it's an evil wizard!"

"Burn him!!"

"Lord, please protect us. There was a panicked cry of prayer, scolding, and cheering from the crowd.

The green brilliance was squeezed upwards from the gardener's body by a white-gold flame, and finally floated out from the top of the gardener's head. I only saw green runes spawning from the void and disintegrating into green points of light one by one.

Green dots of light fell within 10 meters of the copper pillar. Green blades of grass grow out of the cracks of the bluestone slabs at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the green light points fell more and more, the hard bluestone slab could no longer resist the vigorous force of life, and the thick vines crushed the bluestone slab, and rushed towards the copper pillar with teeth and claws.

"You won't succeed! you won't succeed!" the gardener's terrible howl revealed a palpitating majesty and anger.

The white-gold flame finally erupted from the gardener's eyes, burning the gardener's entire body into nothingness.

For a time, the grass was green, the flowers were blooming, and the square was silent.
