—————————————————————————————

Cheng Mo stood on the slope of the prison roof, next to the raised window, he leaned against the wall to take off the mask and coat of the Birdbill Doctor, and just wanted to find a place to hide, he heard the voice of the system: "You have obtained the "Plague Master" set, which can be stored in the equipment slot and can be accessed at any time. ”

The equipment in the world is extremely rare, and it is only divided into two types, one is a creation artifact and the other is an epic artifact. Most of the creation artifacts are artifacts left before the first year of the Common Era, and the artifacts of unknown origin and holy relics of various sects, such as Xie Minyun's three-star scepter, such as the crown of thorns whose whereabouts are unknown, and the epic artifact is an artifact that has been blessed by famous historical figures, such as the seven-star marshal scepter of Napoleon VII, and the three-day moon sect of Yuan Guangyi.....

No matter what kind of artifact it is, it is a priceless treasure, Cheng Mo immediately put the "Lord of Plague" suit into the equipment column, then opened the information column, clicked on it and read the information of "Lord of Plague".

"Lord of the Plague - An artifact from the Book of Wisdom created by the Great Creator by the hands of mortals, and can also be worn by mortals. The Lord of the Plague contains the power to destroy the world, and is an incredible creation artifact that can be exempted from 70% of chemical skill damage, 30% of physical skill damage, and 20% of physical damage. Damage dealt by Hallowed skills is randomly increased by 5% to 35%. ”

"Exceptional: 100% increase in the detection range of vectors. When both the carrier and the body are in the dark, they stand still to avoid detection. Intelligence increases by 30 percent. Health is increased by 10%. Chemistry skill cooldown reduced by 40%. ”

"Requirements: Exclusive to the Inquisitor, the 'Black Death Mission' has been successfully and permanently obtained. ”

Cheng Mo frowned slightly when he saw the last sentence, for Cheng Mo, who was especially concerned about the safety of the bag, this powerful artifact that exploded did not belong to him at all now, but this "Black Death Mission" did not have any explanation, it was really a little confusing, and it seemed that he had to ask Ms. Delome.

Cheng Mo didn't want to be discovered by the other Chosen One, so he hid by the roof-shaped window, overlooking the whole prison, there was a long queue in the corridor waiting for trial, many poor women in the courtyard were stripped naked, and the winter morning in Christianfeld was exceptionally cold, they shivered like shaved lambs huddled in the stone-paved courtyard. Several inquisitors, dressed in squirrel furs, split into teams and collaborated to examine the women.

As for the method of examination, it is very simple, that is, to check whether there are any injuries on the women's bodies, and if there are wounds, they will be pierced with an iron nail-like needle, and if they do not confess, they will be pierced until you confess.

There were screams in the courtyard, some women could not withstand the mental and physical tests, and had to confess their trumped-up crimes, some women simply admitted that they were witches in order not to be punished, and some women struggled to report others, saying that they were not witches, and that their neighbors, relatives and friends were real witches.......

All were struggling in pain and tears, they bent their knees and almost crawled into the dirt, they said everything, they hurt themselves, they framed others, they only wanted to strip themselves from the imminent doom of death. However, what puzzled Cheng Mo was that they seemed to be willing to do anything, but they were only begging for mercy from the creator and others, and they did not have the slightest will to fight against the injustice of fate. There were only a few jailers and a few inquisitors in the courtyard, but none of them jumped up against the tyranny.

They just prayed in the bloody mist, and even the fish on the chopping board struggled twice under the chef's kitchen knife, but they just begged in tears.

Cheng Mo remembered the countless genocides in human history, in the long river of history, scenes like this were constantly staged, and he watched all this silently, until Cheng Mo saw Ms. Delîme, who was pale and wearing a prison uniform, was pushed and put on the prison cart by two crusader soldiers.

Soon the main entrance of the prison opened, and two thin horses with disheveled coats dragged the prisoner cart into the alleyway in the early morning, it was a rare good weather, no fog, no clouds and rain, and the red sun hung on the roof of the town.

The two inquisitors who followed the carriage knocked on the door from house to house, and shouted loudly, regardless of whether there was anyone in the house: "Your Excellency the Bishop will judge Drome, the witch who unleashed the plague, please come to the square to watch the trial!"

"What's the matter?Priest Brigitte?why did you arrest the Dråm Lifter!—she's a good man!" asked a farmer in a cloth shirt and a hatchet, opening the door.

"Yes, you must be mistaken, my baby was delivered by the Dråm Lifter, you must be mistaken!" came a woman with the baby behind the farmer, and she looked at Delåm in the square wooden cage with pity, "Oh my God! What kind of sin has been done to do this to the Delîme Lifter." ”

The neighbors were apparently also alarmed by the shouting, and several of them squeezed their heads out of the door to look at Ms. Delholm in the prison van and the soldiers and priests who escorted her. People whispered at Miss Delome, who was locked up like an animal in a cage.

The kappa priest in the red shirt said loudly, "You will find out when you go to the trial! The Bishop will reveal the crimes of the Witch Delorme! If you see the evidence, you will not think that the woman in front of you is a harmless, good, and devout believer, and according to the Bishop, these heretics are always disguised as people who are better than their neighbors in every way." A mild-mannered, godly woman, or an old woman who has no desires, will always pretend to obey the Lord's command to give all her money to the poor, but she herself is ragged, frugal, and lives a creed of humility and kindness. Such people are often the ones who can be the source of heresy......."

"Let's go, let's see. "Someone jumped out of the door, led by energetic young men.

Someone asked curiously: "Priest Brigitte, it seems that a lot of people have been arrested in the past two days!"

"The plague has been raging lately and all witches are playing tricks, you don't know, even Copenhagen has killed a lot of people, you haven't seen the tragic situation of those who died!" Priest Brigitte drew a cross on his chest, "God forbid me to reveal the secret of heaven, but I should still tell you to be ruthless for the safety of everyone." ”

Everyone's faces changed at the word "plague", and someone spat at Lady Delåm and shouted, "What a terrible thing, she should be burned immediately......

"Is it really Ms. Delorme? I still don't believe it..."

"Believe in the Creator!"

The noise woke up the whole town, and the crowds in the lanes became more and more crowded, and people were discussing enthusiastically, following the prisoner cart as if they were going to some kind of celebration.

"What the hell has happened to the Delof Lifter to be treated like this?

"I heard from the priest Brigitte that the plague was brought from hell by witches like them and spread to the world!"

"How come? why should a plague-monger come to the aid of us poor people, I have to complain to the Bishop anyway, I must have made a mistake, or the Bishop has been deceived!"

"Yes, such a kind lady as the Delaux Witch, my nephew broke his leg while riding a horse, and was cured by her herbs and charms. How could such a person be a witch?"

"I remember that she also had a daughter, right? Anna, a lovely girl, who was as beautiful as gold, and was also a well-behaved girl, who would be helped to take home when she met an old man on the road, and would not be stingy to give some bread when she saw a homeless man, and the mother and daughter were such beautiful and polite women......"

"Yes, a saint from hell!" said a young man watching the excitement.

"What nonsense?" resounded around him.

"I didn't say it, Priest Brigitte said it. The young man said curtly.

"Don't say such blasphemous words until there is a trial!" the people around him criticized in unison.

...........

Cheng Mo mingled in the crowd, and all kinds of remarks converged into a torrent, most of whom were suspicious of the fact that Ms. Delholm was actually a witch, after all, she was the most famous doctor in all of Christianfield, not only treating countless patients, but also saving countless pregnant women who gave birth. In addition, the Delom Lifter only charges a small amount of medical expenses to the common people, and even the poor who have no money only need to give something to meaning, so the Delom Lifter is synonymous with noble character in Christianfield, and even the Lord of the City does not hesitate to praise her, and hires her as the medical officer of the City Lord's Mansion.

Who would have believed that such a perfect woman could be a witch?

Of course, there are some people who gloat, but these are only a very small minority, and the vast majority of people go to the trial meeting with good intentions.

But Cheng Mo is not optimistic at all. He knew that the authority of this era was the church, and it was easy for the church to manipulate public opinion and incite public opinion.

As for the people.

It's just a rabble.

——————————————————————————

Cheng Mo soon followed the crowd to the square in front of the Sistu Church, and by this time the fire burning in the middle had been extinguished, leaving only black ashes like dust under people's feet. Two Christmas trees are arranged on both sides of the steps of the church, and there are no gifts on the trees, only dotted red silk. At the top of the staircase, at the entrance to the main entrance of the church, the episcopal court of the Inquisition is arranged, with two high benches in the center for bishops and religious judges. The two rows of seats next to these two seats are arranged in a symmetrical arc, and there is a table and stool in the corner for paperwork. There was also a clumsy wooden bench for prisoners placed at the bottom of the steps.

The semicircular atrium of the Sistus Chapel is also covered by a curtain to protect it from the elements, and from the center of the square, the chairs of the court officials and clerks are on the right, and the prisoners' stools are on the left. There are church doors on the left and right. At the bottom of the staircase sat two benches, on which sat the magnates of Christenfield, all dressed in splendid and shining clothes, as if they had come to some kind of banquet.

Sitting in the center was the city lord of Leohard, his expression was a little solemn, his dark circles were also very deep, and he looked absent-minded.

"Lord Leohard, didn't you sleep well yesterday?" asked the man in a black cashmere cloak and an agate ornament on his head.

"What?" it took a moment for Lord Leohard to react, "Oh! ”

"It's a great responsibility!" After a pause, the man leaned slightly and whispered, "Is the Delome Lifter really a witch?"

"This ..... I don't know, but since the bishop decided to go to trial, he should be sure. ”

"It's a pity..... Such a beautiful widow....." The man turned to look at Ms. Delorme, who had been escorted to the side of the church, with an ambiguous look in his eyes.

It was a bright December morning when the sun was rising to a forty-five degree angle and filling the square, and Cardinal Wolf came out of the side door of the church, and not only did he not hesitate to sit down on the bishop's seat, followed by his acolytes and the papal magistrates.

"Silence, silence!" cried the Bishop's boy as he walked to the steps, his expression haughty, and his disdainful look at the poor houses standing in the square.

When the square was quiet, the Cardinal smiled generously at the crowd, and then he stood up and bowed to everyone, looking like an older gentleman of a gentle temperament, but in fact he was a hidden authority and decisive Bishop. After he finished his salute, he introduced the Holy See judge beside him, and then said, "Bring the defendant." ”

Mrs. Delorme, in shackles and shackles, was brought from the side by a group of crusaders, who brought her to the prisoner's bench, unshackled her, and stood behind it. Mrs. Delholm was dressed in a gray prison uniform, and there was not a single stain on her body, nor the imprint of her interrogation, as if she had been treated mercifully in prison, without noticing that her skin was white and sunken from lack of water, and she was still in good spirits, and she was not even afraid.

However, this is also what the Bishop needs to put on a solemn posture in order to create a complete effect that is unforgettable.

"You may sit down, Dråm, I see that you are pale, and the jailers did not give you breakfast?"

"Yes, but I didn't eat it, I'm afraid your stuff is poisonous. Mrs. Delholm said coldly and sarcastically.

The papal judge shouted angrily: "You witch, now you are on trial, please don't despise the Holy See!"

"Anyway, you've all made up your mind to send me to Gisfield Abbey to be burned to death! why should I be polite to you hypocrites!" said Lady Delome, neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"How did you know we were going to send you to Gisfield? We didn't tell you about it!" the papal judge sneered.

At the foot of the steps, the lord of Leohhard turned pale and fidgeted.

"The Creator told me, I have received oracles, they told me that you church people have stolen the authority of the Creator, deceived the world, fooled the world, and the Creator said that salvation should be obtained by acquiring the knowledge of God, but you deceived the world into believing in you to be saved, and even put a clear price for sin! You have monopolized education, so that everyone can only learn theology, and all other knowledge is heresy..... You ......," replied Mrs. Delåm in a stern and loud voice.

The aristocrats in the audience were thoughtful, but the audience was dazed, not knowing what Lady Delholm was talking about, and even some of the words they couldn't understand.

And the papal judge jumped up from the high chair and cried out in a fit of rage: "How dare you blaspheme the Creator! She dared to say that our ideas were given by the devil and hers was given by God. The devil is coming to us again!" The papal judge turned his head to "Wait, wait, Lordship, you should torture her, and quickly pull out the tongue of this witch who is deceiving the people...... The Creator says, "Do not let a woman who practice sorcery live."

"Evil magic? I practice medicine to save people? I observe the stars and prevent the plague is evil magic? I want to tell you, the plague is the Creator's dissatisfaction with you! But the Creator does not allow me to tell all the truth, and even if I do, you will not understand it! Come on! Send me to the stake! Send me up, it is your end ......."

The cardinal glanced at the anxious papal judge and said lightly: "Don't be angry, Judge Peter, if you are angry, you will fall into the way of witches, and we must calmly show her sins to the world, but no matter how fanciful she says, it can't change the fact that she is a satan." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. The judge sat down indignantly.

"Alright, Drome, we don't need to waste too much time on these verbal battles. I think facts always speak louder than words. The Bishop turned to look at the acolyte, "Call the witnesses Leo and Lucas." The bishop said with a pleasant face.

Two Crusader soldiers dressed in chain mail and wearing white linen jackets walked up, one of them was Leo, the famous knight of Christianfield, and the other was his lieutenant Lucas.

Leo and Lucas, after greeting the dignitaries present in turn, began to state what they had found in Dråm's tower, countless potions, animal carcasses, and a basement with an inverted pentagram painted on behalf of Satan, and even more terrifyingly, they dug up two fragmentary male corpses in the courtyard.

When Leo handed the autopsy book with the man's fruit to the Bishop, who presented it to the people in the square, the crowd began to swell and rage, and no one was speaking for Ms. Delorme, and although they could not read what was written in the book, the man's fruit portrait was really conclusive and ironclad.

"I said that this witch is a saint from hell!" said the young man in the crowd triumphantly, this time without refuting him.

"Burn her!" shouted the young man, and then he bent down to pick up a bone that he didn't know had been picked up by the stray dog, and threw it in the direction of Ms. Delåm, and then countless debris smashed towards Delåm, who was standing at the foot of the steps, and the whole square echoed with a loud cry of "Burn her".

"It's a medical book! Everything I do is to find the cause of the plague, it's all for medicine!" cried out to Miss Delorme, but no one listened to what she was saying.

"It's like a medical book. The man sitting next to the Lord of Leohard looked at the anatomy book held in his hand by the Holy See judge with empty eyes, and whispered.

Stepping down from the high platform, the Holy See judge, who showed the evidence to everyone, glanced at the man proudly and coldly, and said lightly: "No matter what you write, it is all a fallacy to confuse the public, and it is enough evidence to be sentenced to hanging." ”

The man looked at the pale face of the city lord Leohhard on the side, shook his head sympathetically, and drew a cross on his chest, "Creator bless!"

The cardinal looked down at Lady Delome and said majestically, "Now I have a most serious question for you. Pay attention to your own answers, because this is a matter of life. Do you admit that you did these things? Or that you made mistakes under the guidance of the devil!"

"I'm all here for the sake of knowledge!" Lady Delome looked up at the cardinal, "I have been guided by the Creator! You are the devil who prevents the progress of mankind....."

"Do you mean to admit that you did all this?

"I don't obey the Church! I only believe in the Creator!" said Miss Delome stubbornly.

"Stubborn!" said the cardinal, standing up, "send this heretic out into the streets! Then tell everyone that we have found the murderer of the plague, and will perform a ritual to burn this witch at Gisfeld Abbey!

——————————————————————————

"Burn her!"

The voices in the square were boiling, and Ms. Delholm was again shackled and shackled, then set up by the soldiers and sent to the prisoner cart at the edge of the square.

Cheng Mo stood at the edge of the square, and he saw that the nobles sitting in the front row were silent, and they all got up and walked in the direction of the church. And the people in the square raised their angry faces, and the soldiers deliberately carried Delum out of the middle of the square, at this time she was released from her hands, and walked by herself from the two human walls, and the angry crowd tortured her in various ways, some punched and kicked her, some spit on her, and before she was halfway through the square, Ms. Delome's beautiful face changed its appearance, in addition to the saliva hanging on her face and hair, and her face was covered with bruises and purple lumps, and the inhuman torture made her collapse to the ground halfway through.

At this moment, Anna, whose face was full of tears, rushed out of the crowd, she hugged her mother, and cried hoarsely: "Mother! Mother......

"Nine Dragons Swallowing Pearls" will be on the shelves tomorrow for a first order

The map of the elixir of life handed down by the First Emperor reveals that the warlock surnamed Xu searched for thousands of miles and really found the location of the elixir of immortality, and drew the location and description in a parchment scroll. Although I don't know for some reason, the warlock surnamed Xu finally gathered three thousand boys and girls, and after going to sea again, there was no news. This mysterious parchment scroll, drifting in the long river of history, finally fell into the hands of the Empress Dowager Liang of the Xia Dynasty Empire, although the Empress Dowager Liang was only in her early forties, but she was seriously ill and died soon. Jiangshou, the only protector of the Xia Dynasty Empire, was killed alone because of the great battle with the enemy countries

Due to the advent of Gutenberg's printing press, "The Hammer of the Witches" was reprinted nearly 30 times in two hundred years, triggering a protracted "witch hunt". According to the theory in the book, since the "witches" were enchanted by the devil and were no longer sensitive to pain, they could be tortured as they pleased. For example, if the defendant's hand is burned with a piece of red-hot iron, the defendant is guilty, and if the defendant is asked to take a holy ring in boiling water with his hand, and then put a bandage and seal on his hand, if there is no trace after three days, he is not guilty, and so on. Even more bizarre is to tie the accused hand and foot and throw her into a lake——— if she sinks to the bottom, she is innocent, and if she floats on the water, it means that she is blessed by the devil and must be burned at the stake. The result of this absurdity is that the condemned are dead end, whether they are guilty or not. Due to the different sources of statistics, later generations have not been able to give an accurate answer to the number of witches who died in the witch extermination frenzy, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions. Bambeck, a small town in Bavaria, Germany, was a small town of 6,000 people, but within five years, 600 people were condemned to death as witches. Europeans at that time regarded cats as accomplices of witches and went on a killing spree against them. This led to a significant decline in the medieval cat population, which was almost on the verge of extinction. According to scientists, the extinction of cats has led to the spread of rat infestation, which indirectly contributed to the spread of plague. Most of the witches were practitioners, and the killing of witches also led to an uncontrollable epidemic.
