The door was gently closed by Anthea from the outside, and only Nagi and Baldwin were left in the dimly lit room with only a gray oil lamp, Baldwin put his hands behind his back, passed Nagi, and walked to the small bed where Amber's lifeless body was lying, he lowered his head, closed his eyes, and sighed silently.

"The judgment of Joan of Arc was unjust. ”

Instead of talking directly about his own problems, Baldwin first talked to Nagi about Joan of Arc.

"She's just fighting for her motherland, if we haven't seen it, it's fine, although she was stabbed by that soul now, but she is a demagogic witch, we don't believe it first. ”

Rumors that George I had bribed the knights to convict Joan of Arc were widespread in the Empire, as the somewhat neurotic girl had not admitted her guilt until she was burned at the stake.

"It's not about that, the charges against Joan of Arc were discussed by His Holiness Rory and the inquisitors of the Inquisition, and she was supposed to be sent to Rory City for further trial, but she was also a war criminal captured by the Yang Yan Empire, so we had to execute her on the spot, but do you know why we did this?"

Baldwin shook his head, rubbing his palms together in a sense of unease.

"And why do you?"

Nagi asked suspiciously, looking at Baldwin's tone, Joan of Arc's quick execution was not the result of George I's bribery, or in a sense, this unfair sentence was a unanimous decision of the church's higher-ups.

"She said that she had heard God's will, that she was just a village woman, why would she be able to acquire unfathomable martial arts and fighting spirit overnight, and that she could lead a group of remnants of the defeated army to turn the tide of battle in epic battles one after another? ”

Baldwin's voice trembled a little with fear, he didn't seem to accept the fact, but when Joan of Arc was summoned as his own heroic spirit, Baldwin's faith was even more shaken by seeing the other party.

"Even the Pope can't get God's will, so why can she? You know, according to the Holy Scriptures, no mortal can be sure that she has received God's direct will, which means that if she confesses that she can communicate with God, we can convict her. So the chasemen knight, who was in charge of judging her at the time, asked her the question: 'Jeanne d'Arc, sue me, can you hear God whispering in your ear?'"

Baldwin's legs shook again, and you could tell he was getting more nervous.

"And say that you didn't take George's favors!

Nagi sneered angrily and said to Baldwin that the question asked by the Punishment Knight was an academic trap, because if Joan of Arc was sure that she could hear God's will for her, it would mean that she had violated the Holy Scriptures and proved herself to be a heresy, and if she denied it, it would prove that she was lying to others and that she was guilty. In this way, it is a given fact that the name of the witch is attached to Joan of Arc's head.

Yet she neither affirmed nor denied, and replied to the chastifying knight: 'If not, I hope God will give it to me, and if I have received it, I hope God will give it to me.' But how could she, who could not read a single word, and who had to be ghostwritten even when she signed the verdict, and who had never read a holy scripture, could have made such a reply without even thinking?"

The meaning of Baldwin's words is clear, for the events of Joan of Arc's life seem to show that God really seems to be on her side and protects her, yet the church has personally executed the living saint.

"Then what are you looking for us for?

Joan of Arc may have become a new saint, but the church chose to hastily execute her a hundred years ago, and now Baldwin has determined Nagi to be the so-called saint of the world, and is he so impatient to find himself, isn't it asking for trouble?

"Just because we've done something wrong doesn't mean we'll always do something wrong, so you don't have to doubt my sincerity. Although there have been continuous conquests on the pancontinent for nearly a thousand years, they have generally maintained peace within the framework of the Holy Alliance, and the Ottomans in the south have not waged new wars against us for a long time, but now something is upsetting this balance. ”

Baldwin turned, raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

"In. ”

The door was slammed open in a panic, and a girl with her blonde hair tied into a thin braid on top of her head, a long scar running from her right ear directly to her chin, and a girl who looked like she was full of strange wild beauty rushed in from outside the door, and it looked like she had been waiting there for a long time.

"Are you, Joker?"

Although there was only a one-sided relationship, Nagi still recognized the girl who was supposed to be recuperating in the hospital of St. Lawrence College from the other party's iconic scar that was still fresh at a glance.

"Just call me Joan, sir. ”

Unlike the arrogant and domineering appearance before, Joan is now as docile as a little sheep.

"What are you looking for her for?

Spreading her hands and shrugging her shoulders, Nagi tilted her head to look at Baldwin, and said teasingly, she had a rather bad impression of the Punishment Knight, those hopeless guys would fight you without asking anything at all, and the reason why she was captured by Barack was also because she blocked a shot for the Punishment Knight named Kaede.

"Haven't you noticed? The abilities she used at the Sacred Fire Festival are not at all the original magic and martial arts or holy arts in the pan-continent, this guy has deceived the church for several years, making us think that the reason why her abilities have improved by leaps and bounds after a vacation is because she has obtained some unique martial arts, but in fact, this guy sold her soul to the infidels in exchange for the ability!"

Reaching out and grabbing the neckline of Joan, who was standing in front of the two of them in a cower, and lifted the girl in black men's clothes directly into the air, Baldwin's eyes emitted a murderous coldness, staring at Joan's pretty face biting her lip and said sharply.

"I didn't! I didn't sell my soul!"

Joan screamed and defended herself, she really didn't give in to the cute boy named Lucifer she saw, this ability was forcibly given to her by the other party, don't you want it in vain......

"Fool! That's why you're alive without being burned at the stake!"

Raising his left hand and slapping Joan hard in the face, Baldwin pulled Joan in front of him and yelled in front of her. However, even so, Joan only suffered in silence, not because of anything else, after her abuse of power at the Holy Fire Festival was reported to the church by St. Lawrence College and the Yang Yan royal family, she was fully investigated, and the origin of her strange abilities was gradually discovered. Had it not been for the guaranty of the Presiding Judge, Bishop Dominic, and Baldwin, the Church's plenipotentiary to the Flame Empire, she would have been burned at the stake for purification.

"Isn't that something new to your church?"

Nagi's eyes widened and she exclaimed in disbelief, Joan's ability to manipulate shadows was indeed amazing, but Nagi thought it was a secret spell like Gilbert's lightning waltz so she didn't know it, however, there seemed to be more hidden in it.
