19. Holidays and Storms (xiv)

"How could you not know?!!"

Ehrlich and the others jumped to their feet and screamed as if they felt like they had been tricked.

"It's weird to think about, isn't it?!"

Roland agreed a little with this, and could only shrug helplessly.

"I'm sorry, I can't help it. ”

"No apologies! If an apology is useful, there would be no need for a fire brigade!!"

"What's the fireman's job to extinguish the anger of the quarrel?"

"Kohler, it's the police, the police!"

"Oh, that's right, then you don't need the police!!"

The boy who got help from his companions shouted loudly again, but looking at this paragraph between them and Roland, it was really easy to misunderstand what kind of funny club they were, and they were practicing the classic jokes in cross talk, and many tourists were already holding their stomachs and laughing so hard that they couldn't straighten their waists. Parsifal's lips twisted into waves, and he finally managed not to laugh.

"Anyway, even if you and I give advice, I can't help it, so I'll see you again. Ah, right. Remember to do a good job in philology. ”

With a look of distress on his face, Roland bowed, and was about to turn away when the elf boy who looked like a small boss took a step forward.

"Wait, do you want to run away like this?"

"But ......"

"Ahhhh......h Don't waste your saliva, wouldn't it be nice to punch them away? ”

There was a lazy and irritable voice behind him, and Caspar grinned as he stretched out his knife-like claws, his tail wagging in excitement.

"Stupid, do you want to fight here?"

"Anyway, the other party provoked first, right? Or do you want to call Li Lin's father to help?"

Ignoring the senses around him, the wild man's instinct to attack began to kick in, arching his back like a real wolf, his legs constantly building up the strength he needed to erupt.

Beep beep -

When the whistle sounded, the elves in the uniforms of the youth regiment were running towards this side, spitting out the whistle and shouting with the momentum of a volcanic eruption:

"No onlookers! No street fights! Do you want me to sue you for social rules?!!!

In less than a second, the onlookers and the children who stirred up the incident ran away at once. Whistle caught a glimpse of the Archon with an ice cream bucket not far away smiling at him, his cheeks flushing up.

"Big brother, thank you!"

Roland's polite thanks drifted in the wind. I stiffened all of a sudden in a feeling of goodness.

"No, it's right......"

Looking at Roland's distant back, Freya almost fell to the ground and cried.

#################

Nancy writhed wildly to defend herself, her bloodshot eyes trying to find her parents and sisters in the crowd. But it all failed.

Her body was firmly anchored. There was a foul-smelling pantyhose worn by a man in her mouth, and the tearing pain in her lower body made her unable to even faint. As for her family, when the cowardly man she became threw her to the thugs, Nancy should have understood that there was no hope.

In front of a lot of testimony piled up with informants, lies, and slanders. The little girl's argument was of no value. The formalities of the trial soon decided on the trial of Nancy.

Priest Kadr ostentatiously told the villagers: "If you want to determine whether a person is a heretic or a witch, the test of pushing the suspect into the water is the most effective. As long as he is a person of pure heart, the Mother God will embrace him and let him sink. If he betrays his soul to the demon, he will be rejected, and the water of purity will spit him out. ”

The fools and fools were pleased with the knowledge of the priests. In a miserable scream, Nancy was pushed into the river. The 13-year-old girl's body was unfortunately pushed out of sleep by buoyancy, and from the moment of cheering and swearing, no one doubted it anymore, and everyone happily prepared for the ceremony.

"This kid smells so bad. ”

"Forget it, it's going to be over in a minute. ”

The executioners piled firewood under the pillar where Nancy was tied, and the men in pointed hoods chatted to themselves, when one of them stumbled upon his head and noticed blood on the girl's thigh.

"Those guys haven't done what they need to do. ”

The white pointed hood, which showed only its eyes and mouth, smiled like a ghost. And then floated away.

The inhabitants of this area believe that unmarried girls die under the curse of demons, and after death, they will become monsters and attack the village. In order to prevent that terrible thing, every house had a wedge for breaking melons, and now Nancy's battered body was stuffed with that evil thing.

"Pious people who believe in the Almighty Mother Goddess Marfa, we must not let those who are exposed to the curse of evil go unpunished!"

Priest Caddell spread his hands wide. Announcing to the villagers. At this moment, two small figures stumbled out of the crowd and hugged the priest's thick thighs.

"Lord Priest, be merciful! Sister, she is really innocent!"

"Please, spare my sister, we are only poor people's daughters. How could it be a witch?"

Ignoring the two younger sisters, the priest ruthlessly kicked the two younger sisters away.

People laughed. While looking at the two sisters crying in the dust, they made gloating comments in their mouths:

"I've long seen that they're not things!"

"Is this heresy? Hey, hey, it's scary. ”

"Why don't you burn their whole family? Cascent's whole family was killed by her mad husband. ”

"The priest is so merciful, knowing that the family has witch blood, he just burned the daughter who committed the crime to atone for their sins. ”

No one had a word of sympathy, only a laid-back sigh of relief from the horror. It was as if people were participating in some kind of celebration rather than watching the living being burned to death.

"Oh - rejoice! Sing praises, O people of Mother God, the seeds of sin will be burned up in the near future!"

Khader took the light chatter and frenzied cries of the crowd as heavenly fairies, his drunken red face became trance-like, and as his palms fell to Nancy, with curses and laughter, clusters of torches drew a perfect parabola in the air, and the primordial flame of red lotus illuminated the girl's frightened and twisted face, and also took a clear picture of the villagers, priests, and nobles.

"That's it. ”

Albert put down his binoculars, he had seen enough today. Folding the paper that had recorded the whole tragedy and stuffing it into his pocket, the lieutenant began to pack his luggage.

In addition to the smell of burning firewood in the wind, there was also the stench of human flesh being burned, no one wanted to stay in such an eerie place for a second longer, the mission was over, there was no need to stay.

But-

"This is by no means the end. ”

Listening to the silent wail in the wind, Albert spoke like a philosopher.

"It's just a prelude to ruin. ”
