The next day, Ouyang Yu and Antti got up early, washed up and bought some breakfast on the street and then came to the church, a half-person high wooden platform had been built in the small square in front of the church overnight, and a cross was erected in the middle of the wooden platform, which should be used to tie the witch, and some church handymen were holding some firewood and piling it under the wooden platform, it seemed that the so-called purification was burned at the stake.
"Cut, I really don't have any heart at all. Ouyang Yu complained in an unhappy whisper.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, the small square was crowded with onlookers, the bishop of the diocese of Lemvi City, Clark, the city lord and some nobles and officials walked out of the church, and a horse-drawn prisoner cart also came to the square, and the prisoner cart was surrounded by heavily armed guardian paladins, Ouyang Yu scanned it with spiritual power, these so-called paladins are not very strong, and their physical qualities are only a little higher than ordinary people, according to the standards of the homeland planet, they are ordinary people who know some martial arts but have no fighting spirit.
In the prison car sat a short yellow haired about fifteen or sixteen years old, a delicate-looking girl, wearing a linen-colored prison uniform, her hands and feet were chained, the girl's face had some bruises, it seemed that she had suffered a lot after being caught, but Ouyang Yu "saw" that this girl was indeed a pure virgin, although the guards whipped her after being captured, but did not damage her purity, which was better than what the English did, after Joan of Arc was captured, Joan of Arc's purity was bad in the hands of those guards.
Maria the witch was taken out of the prison cart, and two paladins took her to her knees before Bishop Clark and Lord Lyme, among others. Bishop Ouyang Yu of Clark sensed the power of the Holy Light from his body, and his strength was almost equal to that of the magic apprentice on his home planet. He nodded to one of the monks beside him, who bowed in response. Then the monk took a roll of parchment and walked up to the witch Mary and said in a loud voice: "Witch Mary, do you admit to using evil potions to control the villagers? Do you admit to leading the villagers to resist the lord's taxes, and finally the witch Mary, do you admit to slandering my lord and slandering my lord, trying to pollute the justice and justice of the world with your filthy thoughts?"
The witch Maria stubbornly raised her head and looked directly at the monk, "My potion is a good medicine to save people and cure diseases, not an evil potion, the villagers who took the potion I made have all recovered, leading the villagers to resist the lord's taxes? The peasants worked hard in the field for a year and paid the taxes, just barely enough to fill their stomachs, this year there are many disasters, most of the farmers planted crops are not even full, where can they afford to pay taxes, logically speaking, as a lord, they should reduce taxes or exempt taxes, but the lords not only do not reduce taxes but also raise taxes under many excuses, the peasants can not pay taxes so they confiscate their property, sell them as slaves, how many people are ruined because of this, say I led the villagers to resist the lord, it is better to say that the villagers spontaneously organized to resist the unscrupulous broken lord. I was just a little help to the poor villagers.
As for slandering and slandering the so-called Lord...... Hehehe...... Hahahaha...... The God King of Light is a liar, a super big liar, what seven days to create, what to create people from the soil. It's all nonsense, it was the God King of Light who destroyed our civilization that flourished 10,000 years ago, and it was the God King of Light who turned us into slaves to his soul for generations. It was the God King of Light who turned my fellow citizens into ignorant people, hahaha...... The God King of Light, he did a very successful job. Just look at you guys!"
The words of the witch Maria caused an uproar in the crowd, and the onlookers had never heard such extreme remarks before. It felt very fresh and discussed.
"The witch is still talking nonsense when she is dying!" The monk's face changed, and he hurriedly glanced at a paladin behind the witch Maria, and the paladin punched the witch Maria's back with a fist, and the severe pain immediately made her bend down with her back, unable to speak in pain.
The monk then shouted: "The Holy Court has handed down a just verdict, and the witch Mary has been found guilty, and she is burned at the stake and bound to her!"
Two paladins dragged the witch Maria by the arm and tied her tightly to the cross with iron chains, and the monk came up to her and asked pretendly, "Witch Mary, will you repent to my lord in the last moments of your life?" β
"Phew!" the witch Maria spat at the monk and looked at him coldly, her attitude already resolute.
The monk trembled with anger and wiped the saliva from his face with his hands, and walked down the wooden platform and shouted, "Execution!" Immediately a paladin threw the burning torch into the firewood filled with oil.
"Huh?"
The torch went out for no reason after coming into contact with the firewood, and the wooden platform was not burned at all.
"Throw another torch!"
The paladin threw a torch at the pyre again, and the torch was magically extinguished.
"Hey, didn't you pour water instead of oil?"
The monk shouted at the handymen who were in charge of stacking firewood and pouring oil, and the handymen quickly knelt down and shouted loudly, "My lord, how dare we, what we poured on is obviously fire oil, don't believe you, the smell of fire oil in the air is still there!"
The monk's face turned red, he did smell the flames, "Forgive me for not daring!" The monk pointed to a paladin and said, "You, take a torch and light the fire!"
The named paladin had an unlucky expression, reluctantly took the torch and walked under the wooden platform, squatted down and carefully stretched the torch to the pyre, the burning torch was not extinguished this time, but it couldn't light the oiled pyre anyway, the paladin couldn't light it after trying several times in a row, so he could only turn around and look at the monk with an innocent face.
"Could it be that this witch Mary is innocent, so my lord sent down a divine power so that the firewood could not be lit?"
"I heard that this witch is still a pure virgin, how can a virgin be an evil and filthy witch? β
"Hehehe....... β
Ouyang Yu, the initiator of the conversation around her, covered her mouth and smiled happily, and she released an oxygen-starved magic on the woodpile on the wooden platform. Without oxygen, the flame naturally can't burn, so no matter how much the paladin tries to light the wooden platform, it can't burn.
The commotion of the crowd caused unease among the bishops and city lords. Bishop Clark shouted to the monk, "What are you waiting for, burn that witch immediately!"
The monk pushed the paladin away, took the torch in his hand, walked to the wooden platform, drew a cross on his chest with his left hand, and said, "Almighty, my lord, grant this witch a just death." After praying, he stretched out the torch to the pyre.
"Poof!"
A crossbow bolt shot from the crowd into the forehead of the friar. The body of the monk fell with a torch.
"Ah......h
A young man in his twenties suddenly screamed, raised his sword, ran out of the crowd towards the wooden platform, and shouted, "Maria, I'm here to save you!"
"Joseph!"
The witch Maria looked nervously at Joseph, the young man who came to save her, her eyes were full of concern and love, it seemed that the relationship between the two was not simple.
"It's the witch's comrades who arrested him!"
At Bishop Clark's command, a dozen paladins guarding the wooden platform separated into two to meet Joseph.
Joseph had no armor or shield, only an ordinary one-handed sword one meter long, and the crossbow used to shoot the monk had been discarded, while his opponents, the paladins, were fully armoured, with long swords and shields fully equipped and trained, and the two paladins held their shields to outflank Joseph left and right.
Joseph did not show great force. There is no fighting spirit and no magic, Ouyang Yu has never seen anyone who knows fighting spirit and magic on this planet, so Joseph is very hard just to deal with two paladins, defending more and attacking less will soon see red, his left arm was accidentally cut open, Yin Hong's blood quickly wet the cuffs, if there is no miracle, he will be caught immediately, and then he will be burned at the stake with the witch.
"Woo...... Joseph, leave me alone. Run, run, live well, tell all your compatriots the truth of the matter, and let all people know the true face of the Cult of Light!"
"Whew...... Call...... Call....... β
Joseph, who had consumed too much body, gasped. He looked at his lover affectionately and said, "Maria, I will not run away, I am very glad to know you and you want to love." Whether it's heaven or hell, I'll be with you forever. β
"Joseph. β
"Mary. β
The two looked at each other emotionally, and at this moment, they forgot about their surroundings and dangers. There is only each other and love in their eyes.
"Die!"
One of the paladins who was flanking Joseph shouted and slapped his shield at his head, not using a sword because the bishop wanted to capture him alive. Joseph woke up from the affectionate look and wanted to dodge, but it was too late to dodge, so he could only subconsciously close his eyes and wait for his head and shield to make intimate contact.
βduangοΌβ
"Woo ......!"
The first sound was the sound of the paladin's shield hitting something, and the second was the exclamation of everyone, and three small shields that rotated clockwise suddenly appeared on Joseph's body, blocking the shield attack that could break his head and bleed.
"This ...... What is the matter with these little shields? How did they appear?" the question arose in everyone's minds.
The strange thing was not over, after continuing the small shield, Joseph's body flashed white, yellow, red, and blue, and Joseph felt that he was full of strength to defeat an opponent, and the ordinary long sword in his hand also flashed with golden light, and what he didn't know was that this was the unique light of Dao Technique.
"Get out of the way!"
Joseph rushed to the paladin who smashed him with his shield, and slashed at the paladin's shield, which should have been blocked, but something happened that made everyone's jaws drop, Joseph's longsword cut the paladin's shield like thin paper, and then cut off his left hand as well, and the paladin screamed and covered his arm and retreated.
"Kidd, heretics suffer death!"
The other paladin angrily raised his sword and slashed at Joseph, who slashed back with ease, easily cutting off the paladin's long sword, and also slashing through the heavy armor that was impossible to cut, cutting a long wound in the paladin's chest.
"Wow......!"
Joseph's sudden outburst surprised everyone again. It's really hard to imagine how Joseph, who was still beaten like a grandson, suddenly seemed to be a different person, and instead beat those two paladins into grandsons. The masses said that it was difficult to accept it for a while.
"All of you come up to catch this heretic for me!" Bishop Clark ordered in a frustrated and loud voice, and the paladins guarding near the wooden platform received the order and rushed towards Joseph together. Joseph was not afraid to respond calmly in the face of danger, and with superhuman reflexes and strength, as well as sharp weapons, none of these paladins were injured and fell to the ground in just a dozen seconds.
Joseph rushed to the wooden platform and cut the chains of Maria with his sword, and without saying a word he rushed out of the crowd with her in his arms, and then mounted his horse that had been prepared, and the two of them rode together towards the city gate.
The city lord of Lemvi City stood up in a panic and ordered loudly: "The guards immediately blew the horn and told the guards to close the city gate immediately, and these two people cannot be allowed to escape!"
A soldier picked up the horn on his waist and tried to blow it, but found that the brass trumpet was somehow opened and could not be blown at all.
"City ...... Castle Lord...... My lord. β
Cowering, holding the trumpet in both hands, he shouted, lowered his head, and did not dare to look at the city lord. The city lord's face turned pale and said angrily: "What are you doing standing stupidly? Since you can't blow it, you can ride a horse and catch up!"
"Oh, oh. β
The soldier hurriedly dropped his trumpet and beckoned a few comrades-in-arms to turn over the war horse, and wanted to catch up with the horse, but before he could run a few steps, a piece of quicksand appeared on the ground strangely, and even the people and horses fell in.
"Hehehe...... Let's go. Ouyang Yu, the culprit hidden in the crowd, smiled happily, and came to the uninhabited alley with Antti, and flew towards the direction where the witch Maria and Joseph had fled.
Joseph held the witch Maria tightly in his arms, waved his horsewhip again and again, and the horses under their crotches were in pain, and galloped wildly on all fours, and soon came to the east gate.
"Who's who? stop me for a check-up!"
Although the guards at the city gate did not know what was happening, they instinctively realized that this man was likely to have committed something when they saw Joseph's murderous appearance, so several soldiers lined up in the door with spears in their hands to stop them.
"If you don't want to die, get out of here!"
Seeing someone stopping him, Joseph not only did not slow down, but controlled the horse under him to speed up again and again.
"When!when!when......!"
The spears of the guards were stabbed on the body shield and broke one after another, and the two guards were knocked to the ground by the horses and fell to the ground, and the other guards hurriedly dodged with fear and did not dare to chase them. Joseph and the witch Mary soon disappeared without a trace on horseback.
After successfully escaping, Joseph and the witch Maria galloped all the way, and only stopped when they found that their horses were covered with sweat and that there were no pursuers behind them, and they led their horses and hid in the forest by the roadside.
"Joseph!"
When her lover had let go of the saddle and graze, Maria could no longer hold back her excitement and threw herself into Joseph's arms, tears of happiness remaining. She thought that she would die today, and she also fantasized in her heart that her lover would save her, but she didn't want him to appear to die with her, and a woman's heart was always very conflicted.
However, when Joseph did appear, Mary's heart was filled with excitement. Then things went in the direction she expected, and Joseph single-handedly came to save people and sent them to death. When Maria saw him injured, she was very distressed, and thought that it would be in vain to die with her lover today. Then Joseph took her on a successful escape from death, and she still felt very unreal.
"Mary. β
Joseph was also very excited to hold his lover's soft body, and with the determination to die, if he didn't succeed in robbing the Dharma field, he would become benevolent, but the result was greatly beyond his expectations, it was as smooth as divine help, the two hugged each other tightly, the peach-colored ambiguous aura became stronger and stronger, and the lips of the two were getting closer and closer, and when they were about to stick together, a crisp snickering sound came from nearby.
"Somebody out!"
Joseph's reaction was quick, he took Maria behind him, drew the long sword at his waist and looked carefully in the direction where the laughter came from, and then he saw two sisters with similar appearances, one older and one younger, walking out of the bushes, it was really Ouyang Yu and Antti.
"Who are you?"
Joseph exhaled a relaxed breath after seeing the person coming clearly, withdrew his long sword and asked the other party with a kind expression, he is a very gentle person.
Ouyang Yu walked in front of the two with a smile, bypassed Joseph and looked at Maria carefully, Maria had a very strange feeling, the little Lori in front of her with closed eyes seemed to be able to see through her clothes, and the hairy Maria who was "watched" was dissatisfied and said loudly: "Have you seen enough of the little ghost?"
Ouyang Yu took two steps back and said with a smile: "I've seen enough, I'm very strange." β
"What's weird?"
"You have neither vindictive spirit nor magical power, and your mental power is similar to that of ordinary people, why does the church call you a witch?"
"Fighting spirit, magic power, mental power, what are you talking about, why can't I understand it?"
Ouyang Yu patiently explained: "Dou Qi is a kind of power in the human body, which can make people exert super strength, and magic power is the same, both of these powers have great destructive power, such as this, thunderbolt lightning!" White lightning shot out from Ouyang Yu's hand, interrupting a big tree not far away that was hugged by two people.
Maria and Joseph opened their mouths wide and looked at the broken tree stupidly, their minds blank, and Maria suddenly realized that she and Joseph could escape smoothly today, and maybe it had a lot to do with the two people in front of them. (To be continued......)
