The Earl stopped when he heard this, he didn't know that there were three ghost cities in Cold, but he couldn't help it.

"I can order to resist the witch hunt of the church, and no longer condone false accusations from the people, but then the spearhead of all natural disasters will be pointed at me, and before the sheep are dead, I will be bitten to death by the sheep encouraged by those shepherd dogs." The Count looked at the shadows in the darkness, "The whole of Emanulsen is engaged in a witch hunt, unless I can prove that the Black Death has nothing to do with witches." ”

"This can't be proven, they won't admit it if they don't kill all the women, even if they kill them, they will say that the poisoned witch has already fled, and you don't know the extent of their shamelessness, just at the beginning it was said that this is God's punishment for the world." "But if you swear that the realm will end witch hunting, I'll help you heal the Black Death." ”

"Can you heal?" The Earl's eyes narrowed, "This is a disease that even the church is helpless in. ”

"How long has it been since you've been observing what's going on outside?" He took out his pocket and threw a packet of coptis powder to the earl, "This herb can cure the Black Death, but it is ineffective for severe cases, you can send someone to the next kingdom to take a look, many people have been cured there." ”

"This is an herb?" Hicklin sniffed it and frowned and asked, before he also had a wizard who gave him a strong pill.

"That's right, it can suppress the Black Death."

"It's not difficult for you to ask me to suspend hunting sports, but let me promote herbs, not to mention the church, even the people below will not accept it." Hicklin stared at the bag in his hand and said, "They're going to think I've taken the devil's cover." ”

"You don't say who knows it's herbs? After boiling it, it was filtered through a fine veil for them to drink, and it cannot be said that it is a potion, but that it is the golden holy water that the Holy One received from the garden of God. ”

"Then how did the Holy One give me this, and what if the church wants to see the Holy One?" Hicklin looked at him, "They have a way of turning the Sage into a devil. ”

"All of this can be done, as long as you do what I say." Teaser smiled, "Do you need to try?" ”

"You've succeeded in confusing me." Hicklin squinted his eyes and looked at him carefully for a moment, then threw the dagger out of his back, stuck it deep into the bottom plate, and said in a cold voice, "If it doesn't work, I'll kill you!" ”

"You're not going to have this chance." Hearing this, he just smiled slightly, "Trust me." ”

The next morning, the Earl's Castle, which had not been open for a long time, opened, and a group of guards rode out of the city at a gallop, while many of the same guards went out to post notices and send men to dig around the city.

The Count's actions attracted the attention of the townspeople, especially after they read the notice with the help of others, and the whole southern frontier became a sensation.

"Witches are devil people, only priests with divine powers and wizards who are also demonic minions can perceive it, except for the witches captured by the priest himself, anyone who identifies witches is an accomplice of witches?"

"The Sage felt the pain of the southern frontier and descended into the dream of Count Hicklin, pointing out that beneath the four directions of the southern frontier were hidden Beelzebub's magic array! That was the origin of the Black Death! ”

Two messages spread out through the crowd, some questioning and some weeping, and they finally received God's attention.

But only the priest and the witch's companion can identify the witch, this announcement makes people feel a little uncomfortable, how can we help catch the witch and still be said to be the witch's accomplice? We have nothing to do with the devil.

Some people, especially the lords whose families had already suffered, disagreed with the announcement, but when they saw a man who identified the neighbor's woman as a witch being brought to the court with their entire family, it became a little funny.

"Are you a witch?" The judge questioned the woman.

"I am." The woman bowed her head and confessed, and when the day came, she was relieved.

"Very well, I'll have them cut off your head and burn at the stake." The Inquisitor nodded, then looked at the man's family, "Are you witches?" ”

"Inquisitor, I'm a man!" The man hurriedly argued.

"Well, yes, are you the devil's minions?" The Inquisitor asked again.

"We're not." The man hurriedly shook his head.

"It is sinful for someone to burn me as if he had burned him." The inquisitor commanded.

"No, how can you not get hurt if you are branded! It wasn't like this before! The man looked at the red-hot soldering iron and yelled in fright, "In the past, you could receive the other party's property after identification, but there is no reverse identification!" ”

"Ahh The scorching smell was pervasive, and the men's hands were burned with soldering irons.

"It used to be like this, burns are guilty, and you haven't watched it." The inquisitor waved his hand impatiently, "The others don't need to be tried, this nest is all the devil's minions, burned at the stake!" ”

"Your Excellency, I'm afraid it will be chaotic to identify each other like this, the plaintiff is not protected, and no one will dare to identify witches in the future." The pastor on the side saw the family being burned at the stake and whispered.

"Making a little sacrifice to capture the witch I think will go to heaven." The Inquisitor said indifferently, "Besides, I've already tested them just now, and they're really witches... Devil's minions. ”

"And that's true." The priest frowned and said, he always felt that something was wrong.

As the clock ticked by noon, the bishop of the church led the two priests to the county to question the sage's dream.

"Count Hicklin, after a person dies, the soul will leave the world and go to the spirit realm, waiting for the final judgment to appear, and only evil spirits can support dreams." In the living room, the bishop looked at the count solemnly, "King Saul once commanded the woman who made the ghost, and the woman who made the ghost called Samuel's soul to talk to King Saul, and then King Saul was defeated and killed, and Samuel who spoke to King Saul was an evil spirit pretending to be a fallen angel!" ”

"But I really dreamed it." Hicklin feigned a dazed voice.

"What doesn't exist, even if there is a dream, it is the devil's deception!" The bishop was a little angry, he had seen the first notice that the priest could distinguish witches, and he thought that the earl was on the way, and he found out that this shaft was in contact with him.

"In the dream, he said that there is a magic array around the southern border that triggers the plague, and I have sent someone to find it, if this is fake, then the magic array should not exist." Hicklin glanced at the bishop and smiled, "We'll see." ”

"The Count has been bewitched by the devil, and I will report this to the Archdiocese!" The bishop couldn't help the blasphemy in Hicklin's mouth, although the believers have inner spirits, but the dreamers must be evil spirits, he walked outside without even saying hello, and at this moment, two guards ran in in horror.

"Report to Lord Earl, we have found the magic array!"

"If you find it, destroy it!" Hicklin said with a smile, without a trace of surprise on his face, "Such a big good thing to tell the people to reassure them, and in the morning I remembered it wrongly, last night I was called to heaven, not the sage dream." ”

"Yes!" The guards saluted, then turned away.
