"Burn them!

"Burn these witches! Devil's lackey! ”

"Hurry up and burn them!"

"Burn them! Burn them! ”

"Your Excellency, please let me add the first fire!"

"Nope! Please let me come! ”

???????? Around the square, the frenzied crowd cheered and mocked loudly, and even more longed to go up and burn the sinners themselves, so that after that, they could have more conversation or be honored as a witch slayer.

Some of the people who mingled in the crowd threw small rocks and rotten eggs on the stone platform, as if they were the most heinous devils.

But they don't care at all about whether the four people on the platform are guilty or not, the Holy See's years of killing and brainwashing have made them no longer want to think about it, as long as it doesn't matter to them, then the Holy See must be right, they must be sinners, evil people with unforgivable crimes.

In a large number of trials, the clergy have accumulated considerable "rich" experience in judging witches, and they have even published books on the general purpose of telling others that once they are determined by the church, it is useless no matter how much you try to argue with it......

If the defendant is living an immoral life, then of course this proves that she has dealings with the devil. And if she is pious and well-behaved, then she is clearly disguised in order to use her piety to divert suspicion that she is associated with the devil and that she attends witch meetings at night. If she appears frightened during interrogation, then she is clearly guilty, and conscience makes her exposed. If she believes that she is innocent and keeps her composure, then she is undoubtedly guilty, because witches are used to lying shamelessly. If she confesses to the charges made against her, which proves her guilt, and if she is fearful, hopeless, depressed, and silent about the charges filed, this is already direct evidence of her guilt. If an unfortunate woman turns her eyes in agony during torture, it means that she is using her eyes to find her demons. And if her eyes are glazed and unmoving, it means that she sees her own devil. If she had the strength to withstand the torture, it meant that the devil had made her hold and therefore had to torture her more severely. If she could not bear it anymore and died under the punishment, it meant that the devil had let her die as a sign that she would not confess and divulge her secrets.

These conclusions are actually quite ridiculous, and no matter how much you argue and resist, as long as they decide that you are only a witch. In other words, whatever the person on trial behaves or reacts, he or she will be judged as a witch and will be punished with death.

???????? Conrad has been the bishop of Port Semen for more than twenty years, and from the lowest missionary to the position of bishop, he has become one of the many Mediterranean lords of the Church, hundreds of evil witches have died at his hands, and today four evil people will die at his hands, and he prays for the witches every time he is executed, even if they are unforgivable evil people, he is still willing to pray for their evil souls.

How noble he is, so noble that he should sit in the position of archbishop......

When Conrad had finished praying, he stepped down from the platform to the four wicked men who were kneeling on the ground, he smiled kindly, raised his hand to signal the cheering crowd to be quiet, and then looked at the four with their heads bowed and trembling, and a slight mockery flashed in his eyes.

The man in front of him is naturally not a witch, nor is he a wizard, he is a descendant of a down-and-out nobleman, who is actually just a name, running a tavern for a living, and these three witches are actually hiding in the tavern and dressing up as waiters, secretly carrying out the ritual of communicating with the devils of hell.

????????“ Carl, do you have anything else to say right now? Harboring witches is not a trivial crime, are you sure you have to defend them? ”

Conrad asked in a deep voice, if it weren't for Carl's noble title, where would he ask this nonsense, he would have been killed a long time ago, although the church has great power, but the aristocracy is not vegetarian, just execute a nobleman, even if it is a nobleman who is almost as poor as a poor, he must be handled carefully, once he is caught by someone with a heart, he Conrad will be in trouble.

He really didn't want to deal with this nobleman, but this person was too stubborn and hard to eat, so he could only hold a public trial, in order to minimize the nobleman's backlash.

The Holy See's divine judgment will never regress because of a down-and-out nobleman!

This is the most important point, and this is related to his path to promotion.

"Lord Bishop, they are not evil witches, they are just a few ordinary people, please let them go."

The unkempt Karl said firmly, he was over thirty years old, he has experienced the warmth and colds of the world since he was a child, from a wealthy aristocratic family to the bottom of the valley, he used the little inheritance left by his parents from the mainland to open a tavern in Port Semen, he has always been kind to people, and he has also helped a lot of people, these three girls were also bought by him from a passing slave trader, their miserable background reminded him of his childhood hardships, said to be servants, but he treated them more like daughters.

Those in the crowd who had been helped by him before were excited, and they didn't mean to help him in the slightest, but this was reasonable, although it was a little disappointing.

"Hey, Karl, you've been so blinded by demons that it seems that only God can free your blinded eyes."

Conrad pretended to lament, he didn't look at the three weeping girls, because for them death was already absolute, and as for the trial, it was already done before, he only needed to execute in front of the audience.

He took out a full bottle of holy water and poured it on Carl's head, leaving the dirt on his body and turning it into black sewage.

"See! This is the ironclad proof that you have been deceived by the devil! ”

Conrad poured his hand on the heads of the three black girls, and the holy water also turned into sewage, and he shouted to the audience in a high-pitched voice, "See! This is the ironclad evidence of witches! All the holy water that God has given them is blackened! ”

"Burn them!"

"Burn them!"

The spectators in the audience were even more angry at this moment, raising their fists high and eager to come up and execute them in person.

Conrad was very satisfied with the perfect effect, he nodded, raised his hand and signaled everyone to be calm,

????????.“ Look at the fate of these wicked witches, their wails will be the best warning to the devils of hell, but God has always been merciful, and if you are pious enough, even a fallen soul like a witch can be saved!! ”

"And you Karl! will be hanged for public display! ”

All that's left is the final step, which is to tie the witch to a cross and light the firewood that is stacked around it.
