Chapter 38: The Foolish Girl

"Gaia, do you recognize him as your original magic teacher? "Pandeg knew that there were many people defending Gaia, and he couldn't have burned him at the stake without listing the evidence.

Gaia didn't answer, his own matter had already been investigated by Pandegg, and even denying it would be useless, because the temple could bring other people from Nick Academy here, including Tris......

"Disciple Mixiu, it was you who taught Gaia the first magic, did he sign a contract at that time?" the presiding judge, as the most authoritative inquisitor, also asked sharply at this time.

“...... No...... He didn't sign a contract...... No god can make a pact with him. "Michau may have a high status in an ordinary city, but in the face of so many people in power here, he is as humble as a common people, and even speaks with a little trembling.

This testimony made the faces of the authorities on the high platform change, Michael the Great, Janger, Kailang and Mela will be present in fact to defend Gaia, before the stake is burned, they need to go through trial, they know that Gaia's crime will not be executed strictly speaking, so as long as they are present, Pandeg cannot abuse the lynching, and let someone testify to this mistake during the trial, Gaia's crime can be reduced, and he can not bear the stake at all.

But they also did not expect that Gaia was a magician without a contract, and even Pandeg found irrefutable evidence, this crime has involved the majesty of the gods, and they can't find any excuse for Gaia.

Every magician in the continent of Eden will sign a contract with a god for the first record of the gods, but signing the contract of the first record of the gods does not mean that they are believers of this god, it only means that they will not work for other religions, and the real believers refer to those who join this religion and sign a higher contract, which not only includes magicians who must sign a contract to practice, but also swordsmen, and even some devout believers who cannot cultivate.

As for those who have not signed any contracts, of course the continent of Eden allows them to exist, but practicing magic without any contract is definitely the most serious religious sin against all religious conventions, although this crime is not used to be publicized, but Gaia, who has read various religious and contract historical materials, knows that this is a crime that angers the gods, which has been regarded as a heinous devil slave for thousands of years.

Gaia also learned this from the library of the Holy Academy, because there are almost no people who practice magic without a contract nowadays, so this religious sin has always been sealed in history, and it has not been used for thousands of years, and many people have forgotten about this sin in this era......

Gaia is very careful to hide his difference from others when he uses magic, and it is difficult for others to know that he is a person without a contract without revealing it, so Gaia has not paid much attention to this matter, but at this time he was recognized by Pandeg on the stake, and this bishop obviously knows about this long-sealed crime.

"Gaia, Bisa has committed the sin of betraying the temple and the situation with the cult, but you have angered the gods, I want to see who dares to intercede for you today!" Pandeger's deep voice was suppressed, as if to warn all those who dared to speak for Gaia. The whole square was silent, and even Gucius looked frustrated.

"No wonder he dared to execute Bisara's child, Gaia's situation was already in his hands. Michael the Great spoke.

"This ...... What the hell is going on!" Meisha looked at her father with red eyes, Kailang had promised him that Gaia would not be executed, but from the current situation, all the people in the royal empire who defended Gaia had changed their faces, and Gucius, who cared most about Gaia's life and death, had nothing to say.

Kailang's eyes darkened a little, he took a deep breath, looked at Gaia, who was trapped at the top of the elevated highway, and continued:

"Bassal's death was due to the fact that Pope Fama and Pandeg were trying to gain control of the temple from Lankani, and we were powerless to stop it. As for Gaia, the final sin that had disappeared from Eden had appeared in him, a sin that would not allow any rebuttal, not even intercession, except against the religions. ”

Meisha's face was as pale as paper, she was taboo when she met Gaia in the Demon Beast Mountain Range and knew that he was a magician without a contract, but she didn't know that this was actually a violation of all religious taboos, looking at Gaia on the elevated road, her vision was blurred and she even felt that the flames had begun to burn, this scene had appeared in her nightmares countless times, but the last thing she wanted to see still happened.

"Gaia, what do you say?" rebuked Bishop Pandeger.

"Religion is ridiculous, contracts have nothing to do with magic!" Gaia said words that had been suppressed in his heart for years. These religious laws were ridiculous, and it was not up to Gaia to decide that he could not make a contract, and if he could, he had signed a contract like any other magician, and as for practicing magic without a contract, no one had told him that it was a felony when he continued to insist on magic.

"Don't quibble, without the original contract, the magician will not be able to sense the elements given by the gods, you must have betrayed your soul and signed a blood letter with the evil gods and demons!" said Pandeger. In religious terms, it is impossible for a magician to exist without a contract, and the only explanation is the pact between the evil spirit and the devil, because only this contract cannot be confirmed.

Bishop Pandeg had already put on a subtle smile, this felony was detained, and the others did not dare to intercede for Gaia, and this trial must have ended in the burning of this heretic.

Gucius and the members of the royal empire looked at each other, they were indeed speechless at this time, even if they knew that Gaia could not sign a contract with the evil spirits and demons, it would be useless, this is a taboo in religion, even the Diangeng Sect, which has always been called a cult, does not allow such people to exist.

"The result of the trial: Gaia, the ultimate heretic, angered the gods, and his sin is not punishable, and now he is burning his filthy soul at the stake......" Pandeg focused his crime on this one, and did not read the tirades, as if he could not wait for the flames to spread to his body.

"There is no contract to practice magic!" Just as Pandege announced with a sneer that Gaia would be burned at the stake, a voice suddenly broke into the originally silent square, interrupting Pandeger's reading, and for a moment everyone's eyes fell on this person!

"Shut up!" shouted Mela, who was sitting there, but the red-haired girl suddenly stood up and ran to the fire frame in astonishment!

Seeing the girl running towards him, Gaia's belly rolled again, and streams of sour pain like waves spread throughout his body.

"Celine, don't do anything stupid!" Gaia shouted at her, but Celine ignored anyone's obstruction, and the ice blue guardian on her body blocked everyone who tried to stop her, at this time the weak girl resolutely passed through the heavy guards, and ran to the execution ground under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, under the pressure of religion and empire.

"I don't have a contract, and I've practiced magic!" Cérene shouted at Pandeg as she ran to the center of the execution ground, her stubborn face glittering with a bit of sparkle.

One sentence once again calmed the people in the square, and the square where tens of thousands of onlookers were watching suddenly boiled: the dignified princess of the empire turned out to be a heretic! !

The face of the Emperor Michael was pale, the emperor's chest was constantly rising and falling, and Selene's words could not overturn this thousand-year-old law of death, but instead sent herself to the cremation ground!

Mera's ancient hands were already shaking, it was her responsibility not to let Celine sign the contract, and she had warned her countless times not to tell her about it. Just now, Mera had already told Celine about this felony and signaled her not to make a fearless sacrifice, but Celine still did that, and under the protection of the mid-level S-class equipment, even Mera couldn't stop her stupid act in time.

"Your Majesty, you have an honest daughter. The disgusting smile on Pandeger's face was on full display.

Emperor Michael got up suddenly, flicked his sleeves and left from the high seat, his body turned into a golden light and suddenly disappeared into the square of Legas, which can make this emperor leave so angrily, which shows what stupid things Celine has done.

Janger looked at Gaia helplessly, sighed, and followed Michael the Great out of here.

"Come, take down the princess!" Pandeg shouted, and with a wave of his hand, a golden light fell on Cerene's ice-blue guard, and the barrier lasted for a few seconds before it was completely shattered.

The two Inquisitors immediately appeared before Celine, and their swords fell cross-crossed on Celine's neck, stopping her from doing so, and escorting her to Pandeger.

"Céline......" Gaia's eyes were already red.

At the beginning, also in the Place de la Legas, Gaia ruthlessly rejected her, but now that Céline is using her life to try to justify that ridiculous but unshakable religious felony for herself, Gaia will not know what it means, even if she is emotionally wooden!

"That being the case, Celine Zachariah, you confess to committing such a grave sin, and out of your foolish bravery, I can mercifully burn you at the stake with this heretic. Of course, you can also wait for the trial, and I think it will take enough time to verify whether you have a contract or not. Pandeg said. Pandege didn't expect that the princess would have no contract, let alone such a dramatic side in this execution ground, but in order to execute Gaia, the princess could not escape the blame.

"Wait, she has a contract. Mera stood up, it was Mera's intention not to let Celine sign the contract, of course she knew that it was a felony, so she had already prepared for the accident, although the perjury she prepared for Celine was a bit reluctant, but the execution of the imperial princess was an extraordinary thing, and Pandeg would turn a blind eye even if she knew that these were not true.

"Teacher......" Celine was about to say something, but Mera's fierce gaze swept over her, and she couldn't speak at all.

"In that case, the princess shall be returned to your custody for the time being, and the trial will be held in three days' time, and hopefully it will be a farce. "Pandeg naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, after all, Selene would be married in the near future, and if the alliance with the Tolan Empire was not completed because of this matter, Emperor Michael the Great's hostility towards the temple would be even deeper.

"Don't do anything stupid, if you still want him to live. Mera pulled Celine to her side and whispered to the somewhat stupid girl.

"But...... I do ......"

"You're only going to add a burden to him, get out of here with me now. Mera couldn't tolerate any resistance from Celine, and directly imprisoned her with magic.

Mera began to chant the incantation, and soon a huge spatial crack appeared in front of them, and Cerene's body was completely imprisoned, she did not believe what her teacher said, and she kept struggling in the imprisoned barrier, wanting to continue to defend Gaia.

Mera didn't give her any more chance, the space magic was complete, and then she and Céline were sucked into dimensional space and disappeared into Legas Square in an instant.

Seeing Celine leave, Gaia finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still very guilty in his heart, after all, Celine stood up when everyone couldn't argue for him, knowing that he would be burned at the stake or still told him that he had not signed a contract, although he was ignorant and stupid, but that affection Gaia could really feel.

Pandeg flew to the top of the platform, landed in front of Gaia, and said with an abominable smile: "I didn't expect such an infatuated princess, Gaia, you are so blessed...... It's a pity that you can't escape death today. ”

"You were the one who gave the order to kill the village ten years ago?" Gaia asked, ignoring the guy's cynicism, in a voice.

"For the sake of the temple's prosperity, some small sacrifices are inevitable. Pandeg didn't let the sound reach the ears of the others, and he certainly couldn't have ruined his sanctimonious image as a bishop.

"What's the difference between you and those devils!" Gaia said coldly.

"Taste the flames of divine punishment, and go to hell with your poor mother!" Pandeg was no longer much with Gaia, and with a wave of his big hand, the fire magic of the ten priests below rushed into the fire frame below, and the flames suddenly began to spread, and in an instant, the lower part of the hill-like elevated highway was ignited, and the churning heat quickly surged upwards.

"Pandeger, do you know why I can't sign the contract?" Gaia said with a blank face as she stared at the enemy standing in front of her. The flames below had lit up the square, and even the people on the outskirts could feel the heat sweeping, everyone's cheeks flushed, and the crackling sound mingled with the howling of the wind......
