In the wee hours of the morning, the skyline glows white, and the golden sun blooms like a peacock opening its screen, illuminating the earth.

The streets are damp, the residents are cleaning their streets, and the flood that swept through London has washed away many buildings, and many residents' homes have been flooded, and it will take a lot of time to restore the previous state.

On the north bank of the River Thames, St. Paul's Cathedral.

Under the light of the sun, a thin layer of water vapor rose from the surface of the corpse of the water beast, such a large transcendent creature is rare, how to carry it is also a difficult thing, after thinking about it, the church finally activated Ma Wei's plan, hired laborers, let them take Hercules' stick, and joined hands to carry the corpse of the water beast.

In addition, there is no good way, it is impossible for the church to divide the corpse of the water beast in front of the people, it is too bloody and cruel, not to mention the time and effort, once the corpse of the water beast begins to decompose, the body will be filled with gas, and there is a risk of explosion at any time.

After some discussion, Ubrey I decided to transport the carcass of the water beast down the Thames to the outskirts, where it would be divided and useful materials collected.

Ma Wei was in charge of this task, and he had to deal with not only the corpses of the water beasts, but also the thousands of transcendent beings that had died, giving him a headache even with the help of the Church.

After arranging the problem of the corpse of the water beast, Ubley I and others discussed the matter of rebuilding the destroyed houses, and in the battle last night, the houses in the city of Westminster were seriously damaged, collapsing nearly half, and there were collapsed rubble and rubble everywhere.

As to whether this incident is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, the Pope and others have not been able to give a specific conclusion.

Some believe that it was a natural disaster and that the church did not need to compensate the residents for the loss of property, while others believe that the incident was completely avoidable and that the church should bear at least half of the responsibility.

The quarrel lasted until noon, when Pope Ublis I impatiently gave an order: "Count the losses, report the losses to the kingdom, and let the kingdom do its part." ”

The amount of money needed to repair the damaged house is not a small amount, and the church has obtained countless potions materials that can be sold for a high price, but the benefits may not be enough to make up for the loss in Upper London.

However, judging from the attitude shown by the Pope, the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate will definitely be responsible for the people whose houses are damaged, and even if they do not pay the money, they will bear the cost of rebuilding the houses

"Let's talk about the third thing."

Pope Ublis I pressed his hand to signal the crowd to be quiet, and said in a deep voice: "In yesterday's battle, the Holy Lady Dildre escaped from the battle, and according to the canon law, she should be burned at the stake, do you have any objections?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, but did not speak for the Holy Lady Dildri, and Ma Wei was among them, and also did not say anything.

The Holy Maiden is a very important position in the Church, the Holy Woman does not have to work, she only needs to stay there every day to be worshipped, and their duty is very simple - to communicate with the gods.

The saints with strong souls and able to communicate with the gods are carefully selected, and each one of them is very precious, and if it were not a last resort, Ubli I would not want to burn the saint Dildri at the stake.

The fault of Deirdre is too serious.

Escaping, or at the moment when she needs to stand up, this kind of behavior is tantamount to betraying the church, if it weren't for Ma Wei's timely action, St. Paul's Cathedral would definitely face destruction.

If something happens to St. Paul's Cathedral, the demon sealed under the church will be released, so what will happen to the millions of residents of London in danger?

The Holy Maiden Dildre must be severely punished, and the monkeys must be killed, and the others must be told that there is only one way to escape from the battle!

Ublis I swept over the crowd, and seeing that no one spoke, he nodded slightly: "Everyone has no objection, and the results of the verdict of Dildre and the College of Cardinals will be submitted to the Church Inquisition for a second trial!" ”

The College of Cardinals, the highest Council of the Church, presided over by the Pope himself, has the power to judge the faithful, and the same rights as local priests and bishops can designate a person for a crime.

In order to ensure justice and convince the public, the charges need to be submitted to the Ecclesiastical Court for a second trial, and the outcome of the Ecclesiastical Court's verdict shall prevail.

Since the place of the crime was in London, at noon that day, the arrested St. Dildre was escorted to St. Martin's Cathedral, and along the way, the people spit on and demanded that the church sentence him to death.

"Fourth, what do you think about the transcendent who killed the water beast last night?"

"If it weren't for the transcendental, St. Paul's Cathedral would not be safe, and I think that the transcendent should be invited out to meet him, and we will treat each other with courtesy." A cardinal said.

"Meet? Are you kidding! The other party is hiding in London, and he doesn't know what the purpose is, and he is definitely not good! You can also control the dragon! The Pope, although they have helped the Church and deserve to be grateful, this does not prove that they are not a threat to the Church, on the contrary, we should find each other and interrogate them strictly! ”

"What are these words! If we hunt down benefactors who have helped the church, what will other churches think of us? Do you want an international image? ”

"Is international image as important as national security? This is London! He is a confidant of the church! The other party is hiding under our noses, aren't you afraid?! ”

"After all, the other party has helped us, I think we should neutralize the opinions of the two bishops, and after finding each other, it will be good to expel them from the country"

"What if they're spies sent by other churches? Do we still have to be courteous? ”

"One yard to one yard! We can thank them and punish them! ”

Spit flew at the conference table, and the cardinals were arguing and disagreeing.

"Sorry Nicholas"

Archbishop Brandon, who was sitting next to Ma Wei, said stupidly: "They don't usually do this, I don't know what's wrong today."

"I understand." Ma Wei said in a low voice: "Everyone experienced a fight last night, stayed up all night, and they haven't been able to rest well until now, and it's normal to be angry." ”

"It's best if you think so"

"Don't make any noise!" Ubli I banged on the table impatiently, "How to deal with the transcendent who came to the aid last night, we will discuss it later, the top priority is to launch a carpet search of London, and catch the hidden elements in the corners that are potentially threatening to law and order!" ”

"It's no accident that those otherworldly creatures were able to sneak into London quietly, and there must be someone behind them who is helping them! These enemies, who are harmful to London, must be caught! ”

"In order to cope with this situation, I have decided to set up a church-specific intelligence organization to launch a search operation in conjunction with the kingdom's intelligence organizations! Liviu, you're in charge of this! ”

Archbishop Liviu nodded slowly, and took over the task of setting up an intelligence organization, the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate really needs eyes, only in this way, can it fully control London.

The establishment of an intelligence agency by the church is not good news for Ma Wei, but he is not afraid, there is a cat legion, and the intelligence organization is not to be afraid.

After the meeting, Mavi walked out of St. Paul's Cathedral and began to organize the hands to carry the corpse of the water beast.

"Big brother! Eldest brother! ”

Ma Wei handed over the scene to the bishop on the side, walked up to Levin, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Look!"

Levin took out a newspaper, flipped to the last few pages, pointed to the Royal Opera House's show, and said, "Tonight's show is 'Hamlet', not 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'!" ”

Hamlet?

Marvey grabbed the newspaper and looked closely, and found that the show had indeed become "Hamlet", which, like "A Midsummer Night's Dream", was one of Shakespeare's four famous tragedies.

The underground laboratory has been destroyed, and for such an important matter, Mr. Butler must communicate with the boss behind the scenes.

Could it be that their previous inferences were wrong?

Professor James Morea is not the real boss?

"Go and ask Blackie what the hell is going on." Ma Wei returned the newspaper to Levin: "It took us to raid the underground laboratory last night, and now Bacheng has returned to Mr. Butler, let Fat Orange get information from it and track Mr. Butler!" ”

"Good!"

Levin was about to turn away when the crowd of onlookers suddenly burst into a commotion, and when he listened closely, it seemed as if he was shouting 'Holy Maiden' or something.

Mavi found Bishop Mamet, who was sent by the Church to help him: "What are they shouting? ”

"The verdict of the Holy Lady Deirdre has come down." Bishop Memet swallowed: "The Inquisition decided to uphold the Pope's sentence and burn Deirdre at the stake. Execute it now. ”

"Where is the place of execution?"

"London Bridge."

The bridge is not a good place to execute the stake, but in order to make an example of the monkey and let everyone see the end of the betrayal, the church chose the location at London Bridge, where the execution can allow residents on both sides of the north and south to see the process and have a deterrent effect.

The inhabitants who heard the news rushed towards London Bridge, they were more interested in the stake than the water beast, the main death penalty in the Kingdom of Windsor was hanging, and the stake was only used by the church, and the church had not sentenced a believer to death for many years.

Mixed in with the crowd, Ma Wei also came to the north bank of the Thames, where the broken embankment was full of people, and even ran to the bridge to watch.

Several witchers carried a trembling Dildre to the middle of the bridge, tied her to a stake, and erected her high.

Countless firewood and haystacks were piled up at her feet, and the branches poured with fire oil had pierced the soles of her feet, and Deirdre struggled constantly, her eyes full of horror, and her mouth was full of words, as if she was begging for the goddess's forgiveness, but in response to her was the exuberant and angry cries of the people on both sides of the strait.

"Burn her !!"

"Burn this vicious woman to ashes !!"

"She is not worthy to be a saint!!"

At this moment, it was as if last night's fear, panic, and all negative emotions had become a source of spurning and insults, and many people were hideous-looking, waving their fists, venting their anger at Dildri, who was bound to a stake and unable to move.

Mavi stood in the crowd, his face calm, very different from the angry crowd around him, quietly watching Dildre who was writhing on the stake, wanting to ask for forgiveness.

How old is Deirdre this year?

Suddenly curious about the question, Mavi asked the equally indignant Bishop Mamet, who was next to him, and the answer was 15 years old.

15 years old.

What should teenagers and girls of this age do?

Is it really appropriate for them to carry such a burden?

Mavi thought of the saintess Constance who was turned to ashes in the flames under the city of Tver, and he felt some pity in his heart, and his feelings were very complicated.

Yunia stood on tiptoe in the crowd, completely blocked by the tall crowd and had to ask for help from her father.

Mavi picked her up and put her on his shoulder, looking out at the middle of the bridge.

In the midst of the sound of the attack, the witcher lit the haystack, and the flames instantly soared, and thick black smoke billowed up into the sky.

The intense heat and toxic smoke choked on Deirdri's nose and mouth, destroying the fragile mucous membranes, and the heart-rending cries resounded through the sky, but soon stopped, replaced by a violent cough.

For a moment, Ma Wei suddenly felt that he shouldn't let Yunia watch such a cruel scene, Yunia is four years old this year, younger than Deirdri, is it really appropriate to show her this kind of scene?

Thinking like this in his heart, Ma Wei didn't move his feet, nor did he let go of Yunia's intentions, even if Yunia was tugging at his hair, making him feel pain.

The flames spread to Deirdri's feet and began to scorch the soles of her feet, igniting her clothes, and the flames spread again, this time, Deirdre let out a piercing scream again, and soon, her body was completely enveloped in flames, and the sound became quieter and quieter

Looking at this scene, Ma Wei felt that the shouting around him was a little noisy, and he silently took out his revolver and pulled the trigger at the sky.

Bang!

Bang!

Several gunshots rang out in succession, and a vacant space suddenly cleared up next to Ma Wei, and the residents who were still shouting just now looked at him in horror, Ma Wei put away the wheel and said expressionlessly: "It's much quieter now." ”

Bishop Memet didn't know what kind of madness Mavifa was, so he quietly took two steps back and asked tentatively, "Mr. Nicholas, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay, they make my eardrums hurt, it's like someone is shouting in your ear with a horn, isn't it annoying?"

"Oooh oh"

Bishop Mamet took two steps back again, and looked at the center of the bridge, where Dildre was completely silent, the flames scorched her delicate body, and her originally fair skin became charred, mixed with blood-red shredded meat, like an undercooked steak.

The sound of chains dragging sounded, and the soul hooker emerged from the gray mist, hooking Deirdri's soul and pulling her out of her body, Deirdri's soul was bigger and brighter than any soul Mavi had ever seen, she clutched the chain that bound her neck, her mouth was wide open, and her legs kept shaking, as if she wanted to hook something and prevent herself from entering the realm of death.

The Soul Charmer vanished, and Deirdre was unable to break free from the chains and was taken into the realm of death.

"Daddy."

Yunia hugged Mavi's head and asked suspiciously, "What did she do wrong?" ”

"Abandon her companions and escape alone, she is a deserter."

"Should deserters be put to death?"

"Depending on the situation, if there are serious consequences, it will be punished by death."

"Isn't it the upper echelons that can cause the failure?" In Frederick's words, Yunia said: "If Ubli I had not chosen to confront the Kuroshio head-on, there would have been no crisis of St. Paul's Cathedral!" Why is it that the upper echelons go unpunished for their mistakes, but the soldiers who flee are put to death? ”

"Because commanders are much more valuable than soldiers, they are usually not directly executed as long as they do not make extremely serious mistakes." Ma Wei thought for a while and said: "The battlefield is like this, the war is like this, a group of old men start a game, but let the young people go to death, and it is not the soldiers who enjoy the fruits of victory in the end."

"I hate war." Yunia wrinkled her nose and said.

"I hate war too, but there are always people who like to use war for their advantage."

Ma Wei looked up at the sky, at the scorching midday sun:

"The real big war has not yet come, it is coming soon"
