Chapter 52: The Elves Appear
"Ah, Your Royal Highness Princess Linya, and Your Royal Highness Princess Alice, welcome!" After receiving the news of the visit of the two imperial princesses, Cardinal Farmino greeted him with a spring breeze on his face, and the excitement on his face because of the arrival of the holy war had not yet dissipated, and it was obviously in a very good mood, but it was a good opportunity. []
After explaining her intentions, Linya gave another gold coin, and the dignified Farmino patted her chest and assured Linya: "Your Royal Highness Princess, please rest assured, our Holy See does not want to interfere in the academic research of the magical world, but sometimes people's minds tend to intentionally or inadvertently desecrate the dignity of God, which we must not tolerate! I will urge Priest Milio to investigate this matter and return the Archmage of Gandra to a clear name!"
Of course, Farmino is a person who has withstood strong winds and waves, otherwise he would not have the status he has today, if Gandra is rectified, then it will offend the entire magic world and the two empires of Red Leaves and Caiyun, why bother? Collect some money and sell personal favors to them, this kind of thing as long as you are not a fool knows what to do.
Since that Famino received the money, he was not afraid that he would regret it. With his assurances, Gandra's acquittal should already be no problem. After a polite thank-you, Linya left satisfied. The people in the square brought all kinds of liquor, sang and danced in the open air, and enjoyed the party. Everyone is so excited, and it is no wonder that every holy war will bring endless wealth and fame to the bright world, as well as countless dreams of becoming heroes.
As they were about to walk through the square, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "The infidels are going to be burned to death on the execution ground!" and the crowd began to stir up, and some people began to pour south. Linya's heart sank, and she stopped and said to Alice, "Sister Alice, did you hear that? I've never seen a heretic, and I want to go and see it too!"
Alice couldn't resist her, so she had to go with her. The execution ground is located on the coast in the south of the city, and when Linya and her party arrived, hundreds of people had already surrounded the execution platform, which was a slender rectangle, about ten meters per square meter, and more than two meters higher than the ground. There were more than a dozen tall wooden crosses erected on the execution platform, two of which had two people tied, the one on the left was a young man, still very young, his arms and legs were tied to the cross, looking at his cotton clothes, he looked like a nobleman of the bright country of violet.
The figure on the cross on the right is a young woman, about twenty years old, dressed in a strange pattern, as if wrapped in some kind of cloth, and wearing a round turban-like hat on her head. Her clothes were already very tattered, and where they were torn, there were shocking blue and red scars, apparently tortured. Her neck, waist, and legs were tightly tied to the cross, and her hands were nailed to the wings of the cross—yes, nailed, nailed to the cross with large iron nails, and the crimson blood was still oozing from her palms, dripping from the cross little by little, and it was a terrible sight.
Linya saw that her scalp was numb, and she couldn't help but shiver. Oh my God, nail it through the palm of your hand...... It's terrible to think about, if anyone nails her palms like this, she will definitely die of pain. These people are so cruel!
But the pagan woman's expression was very strong, and she looked at the crowd with contemptuous eyes, her face full of determination and fearlessness.
The lowest-ranking miscellaneous servants of the Holy See piled bundles of firewood on the cross, ready to be burned at the stake, and a priest came up to the stage and said to the noble man: "The great God of Light is forgiving and merciful. Sir Hues, God will give you another chance, life is precious, and it is still too late to realize!"
Huys slowly raised his head and said in a hoarse voice: "I have not given up my faith in the God of Light, never! I love Lycia, but I have never believed in the God of Darkness, I have done nothing wrong!"
"You're wrong! You're in love with a heathen, which the doctrine of light can't allow! The heretics should be put to death! Huwes, aren't you awake?" the priest's tone was already angry.
"No, I swore to the god of light that I would love her forever! She swore to the god of darkness that she believed in that she would love me forever, and that we would never break our vow of love!" Huis said firmly, and when he turned his head to look at the woman beside him, the two of them met with a knowing smile on their faces.
If love is still there, it is happy. Linya couldn't help but be touched by their sincere love. It is indeed remarkable for a man to give his life for the people he loves.
"Burn them, burn them!" the crowd around them cheered. The officials of the Holy See waved their hands, and the two handymen walked up with torches and lit the pyre.
The flames rose and Huwis groaned in pain. Linya couldn't help but secretly clench her little fists, and even her breathing seemed to stop. Namia hurriedly took Linya's little hand and signaled her not to be impulsive with her eyes. Linya sighed, didn't dare to look any further, turned around and prepared to leave.
Looking at the two fire balls burning on the stage, the people in the audience screamed excitedly. What a bunch of perverted guys! Linya was so angry in her heart that she didn't take two steps when she heard the cry of Huys behind her: "Don't! Don't! Help me!"
"Let him go!" the officer ordered. So the handymen hurriedly stepped forward and extinguished the two fires. "Hewis, the great God of Light is extremely merciful and forgiving, and if you wake up at the last moment, we will still give you one last chance to atone for your sins!" said the priest with a look of great compassion. If Linya was an outsider who didn't know anything, she would really be confused by the scene in front of her.
Hewes, who was burned by the fire, was unroped and let go. His clothes were burned to shreds, his hair was charred, and he was on his knees coughing.
"All right, Hewitt, prove your devotion to the great god of light, go and burn this heretic!" the priest took a torch from the handyman and handed it to Hewis.
"What? no...... No!" Huyce looked at the torch in front of him, fell to the ground in shock, and retreated. "No! I can't do that!"
"This is your only chance to atone for your sins! prove your sincerity to the great God of Light, or no one will save you!" the priest pressed forward step by step.
Hewis was on the verge of collapse. Linya also saw that she was angry and rushed up, it was really too much, it was really hateful to force others to burn her beloved! It was so hateful! When Linya's anger was about to explode, Namia hurriedly pulled her over, half-hugged her in her arms, and said softly: "Princess, don't be impulsive! Let's go!"
Lygia, who had been silent, looked at the painful Huys, and couldn't help but be heartbroken, and said with tears: "Huys, you do it, I won't blame you." Promise me to live well......" When he finished speaking, he was already in tears. What she said was not the lingua franca of the humans of the Violet Continent, but another language, perhaps the language of the pagans themselves, but Linya could still understand what she was saying immediately. Linya gritted her teeth and turned to leave. There is nothing more painful in the world than this, Linya really can't stand it, but unfortunately she can't do anything about it.
At this moment, there was a sudden sharp sound in the air, it was the sound of something passing through the air, although it was extremely small, but Linyamin's hearing still felt it, the sound was really special, Linya hurriedly followed the sound, and a silver feather arrow in the sky had hit the priest's hat on the priest's head, and it was nailed to the ground. The priest was so frightened that he quickly squatted on the ground, covered his head and trembled, "Who...... Who...... What's going on?"
A huge green strange bird in the sky rushed towards the execution ground, and there was a slender figure on the back of the strange bird. The strange bird was really strange, with thick limbs, and a hooked tail, and large wings, which were feathered wings, and its body should be a flying beast, but its head was like an eagle.
This thing is not very different from the dragon eagle and the flying horse, what is this? Horned eagle? As soon as this word came to Linya's mind, the big strange bird had already rushed to the top of the execution table, and the slender and delicate green figure jumped down from the bird's back, drawing a graceful line in the air.
What a beautiful figure! Linya couldn't help but secretly admire, it should be a girl. The green shadow flew up and kicked the priest off the torture table, and a flash of white light in his hand severed the ropes that bound Lygia. The dagger's glow swept through again, and the two large iron nails broke in response. When the green figure turned around, Linya finally saw her face clearly, it was an incomparably beautiful little face, the most striking of which was the pair of pointed and slender ears.
That's right, it's the pointed ears, thin and long, but they look so natural and beautiful! Linya almost cried out excitedly, elf, it's elf!
After understanding the elf's intentions, the awakened papal soldiers rushed to the stage. The horned eagle rushed down, flailing its huge wings, and a powerful force swept through it, and the soldiers fell one after another.
"You, what do you want to do?" the Holy See official scolded.
"You despicable human beings, how disgusting it is to so cruel to your own kind! Don't you know that every life is precious?" cried the elf angrily from the stage.
The elf spoke in Elven language, and I'm afraid no one but Linya could understand it. Although the official was very frightened in his heart, he had to make a pretense and said inwardly: "This is our human business, and it has nothing to do with your elven race. Please don't interfere in our business!"
The elf was even more furious, and shouted angrily: "You despicable people in the name of God, wantonly harming life is the greatest insult to God!
After the elf finished speaking, he hugged Lygia, who was two heads older than her, and summoned the horned eagle to fall, jumped on its back, and the horned eagle screamed and spread its wings and flew up. By the time the archers arrived, the horned eagle and the elf and Lygia had already flown away.
That little elf is so cute! On the way back to the hotel, Linya's face was full of memories of the little elf. The elf's face is very delicate and beautiful, even compared to Alice, I am afraid it is not inferior in the slightest. The beauty of the elf sister has long been well known, and when I see it today, it really deserves its name!
This elf is not tall, about one meter six at most, and should be shorter than himself. The body is really slender, and every move is very flexible. But the most striking thing is ...... The green soft armor on the elf's body, but obviously the area that this soft armor can cover is too small, except for a few of the most important parts, most of the elf's body, the lower abdomen, arms, and calves...... Even the part of the thighs, the skin as white as snow is unreservedly exposed to people's eyes, and it is extremely sexy.
The men around him had already looked stupid, and Linya couldn't help but secretly swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva. If it were Xiao Yuan, I was afraid that it would not be much better than those ugly men!
