Headshot Wizard - Chapter 226

Chapter 226

The open square was surrounded by dense crowds on three floors. To the east of Trois Square, the merchants of the market quickly closed the shops, and joined the crowd of onlookers under the orders of the temple personnel.

Most people from the entire Baicheng gathered here, and the square was always spacious, but it also became very crowded at this time.

The adults held the child’s hand and swayed in the crowd. There was a trace of anxiety and worry on their faces. Standing closer, they could even see the fair skin of the little girl tied up at the fire.

“Burn her to death! Burn her to death!” someone in the crowd shouted angrily.

Those were young and fanatical religious elements. They admired the brilliance of the goddess Yueqin and obeyed the instructions of the temple. They rushed to the front, if it weren’t for the guardian knights to pull a cordon around the execution ground, I’m afraid these thugs would rush in.

And most people kept silent. The Monroe family has a good reputation in Baicheng. People who have lived in Baicheng for a long time know that the little girl’s father is an upright and kind old man. The old Monroe is a good business man and has accumulated a wealth of wealth. But he is as approachable as ever in the city, often helping the poor, the elderly and homeless children. Unlike the masters in the temple, the old Monroe was deeply loved by the residents of Baicheng.

For every Baicheng resident, the people around them have more or less been favored by the old Monroe. However, it is the youngest daughter of the old Monroe who is now tied to the stake, which makes everyone feel heavy.

Above the torture frame, there are several taller beams with more than a dozen human heads hanging on it. Countless flies are flying on the heads of these decaying people. Although these heads have long been completely unrecognizable, the people in the city can still recognize them.

These people were all executed by the temple in the past month, but unlike Scarlett, their charges were slightly lighter, so they did not use fire, but were executed by hanging.

The personnel of the temple are putting some dry wood under the stake, and then sprinkling it with turpentine and butter.

At the same time, on the high platform of the square, Lord Lockhart, the first-level priest of the Yueqin Temple, was reading aloud the sins of the girl.

Most of the words in his mouth were mysterious and mysterious, most of them were praising the great Yueqin goddess, and a few were annoyed by the little girl’s crimes.

The civilians with low levels of education did not understand the elegant words of praise. They only heard some words that represented a clear stand, such as “devil, evil”. There was a hint of doubt in their simple eyes: Could it be a mistake?

How could such a young girl be the devil?

The crowd looked anxiously at the little girl tied to the stake. She has red hair and red eyes. She has fair skin and big eyes, but those beautiful eyes are full of panic and anxiety.

Her body was tightly tied to the stake, the tightly tied twine was pulled into her skin, and distressing red marks appeared around her.

“How can such a cute girl be some devil?”

A young man couldn’t help but murmured.

An older man next to him immediately changed his face, stepped forward to cover his mouth, and then looked around.

Other people around also showed a panic look.

The older man let out a sigh of relief and warned with a worried look on his face: “My child, fortunately, the attention of those fanatical guys is on the torture frame. Otherwise, what you said just now might cost you your life!”

“There are some things that shouldn’t be said on this occasion.” An old woman beside him also said: “Even if you don’t think about yourself, you should think about it for your parents.”

The young man showed a trace of fear and nodded immediately.

The older man then let go of his mouth.

It’s just that the people around him subconsciously moved to another place.

…

On the high platform, in addition to the priests who are reciting the scriptures aloud, there are also rows of seats. Sitting in these seats are people with faces and faces in the city.

At this moment, the place in the center that represents the city lord is empty. In the two positions to its right, a man and a woman are sitting.

These two are the eldest son and eldest daughter of Baicheng City Lord.

“I found a good thing about Lord Lockhart.” The woman yawned and said, “Even if he reads these boring hymns for the ten thousandth time, they are full of gorgeous rhetoric but have no substance. He also acted like The first recitation is the same. Look at his disgusting performance, does he really rely on this performance to win the appreciation of the goddess Yueqin?”

“This is an amazing talent. At least I can’t do this.” While everyone’s attention was focused on the torture frame and Lockhart, the man sneaked a handful of the sisters beside him. The chest caused the latter to tremble. “But I have already figured out his details. Next, he should have tears in his eyes.”

Sure enough, before the man’s voice fell, the old priest who was reciting the hymn aloud suddenly burst into tears, his expression was so sincere, and even moved a part of the people watching.

The woman whispered and said, “Converge, Milo, you can’t mess around on this occasion!”

“Why not? Just because you are my sister?” Milo asked back: “Relax, Ginny, I will be the lord of the White City soon! And you, will also become the hostess of the White City-if we were the one The well-behaved brother didn’t miss it.”

He said so, but his eyes were on the palace on the mountain.

“Our brother always pleases the old man. He doesn’t do things like you, he has always been patient. To be honest, I always think he is better than you in conspiracy.” Ginny said: “It’s a pity that he was caught by you. Stopped the handle.”

“I don’t like conspiracy. I prefer the straightforward way.” Milo laughed loudly: “My brother also wants to be the king of White City, but he doesn’t have that kind of courage, so he is destined to be like a mouse in the gutter. Hiding in the corner nervously plots conspiracy after conspiracy, and then overthrows it.”

“By the way, when you asked me to seduce that kid, did you know that he liked men?” Ginny asked suddenly.

Milo gave a dry smile: “I don’t know.”

Ginny gave him a white look: “So you really want to give me to play with him?”

Milo patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile: “You wanted to taste him anyway, didn’t you? It’s a two-eyed thing.”

“It’s just that what happened later was beyond my expectation.” Milo said with emotion, “I didn’t expect that kid so gentle and gentle would secretly raise a more delicate little white face-that guy. What the hell is this? Oh, it’s like a fucking poet. I just wanted to try and control that poet. I didn’t expect this kid to succumb immediately.”

“This is called true love.” Ginny said calmly: “He is willing to give up the position of the king of the white city for that poet; and I know that even the three mes will not let you shake this idea.”

“I like your self-knowledge. Dear sister…”

Milo chuckled, and stretched out his hand, sneaking into the bottom of Ginny’s skirt, playing in public.

…

The sun was gradually sinking, and on the square at dusk, the orange sunlight pulled everyone’s backs into strange and strange shapes.

Lockhart’s forehead was covered with sweat, his expression was sincere, his face was kind, with a slight expression of compassion. The recitation of the hymn has reached the last chapter:

“…With the most beautiful chapter in the world,

I can’t praise the wise and unparalleled goddess

The shadow of blasphemy will be burned

As the devil is gradually dying out in the painful hell…”

At this moment, there was a loud noise in the crowd.

A line of knights marched slowly from the avenue at the foot of the mountain. A prison car was still being escorted between them.

People let a path open one after another, let the knight adults walk into the execution ground.

The guardian knight who escorted the prison car greeted his colleagues, and the latter let them enter the interior of Trois Square together.

“Who is inside?” asked the knight who kept order on the execution ground.

The guardian knight responded: “Some outsiders who offended the temple.”

The other party nodded: “Let them get out of the car. Only when they witness the purification rituals of the goddess and the temple will these heretics feel terrified.”

Soon, the door of the prison car was opened, and the prisoners with the torture equipment got out of the prison car one by one, standing in a row under the shouts of the knights.

After a long time not adapting to the sun, all of them couldn’t help but squinted.

“Unexpectedly, it’s the infield ticket.” Lance looked around and said with a chuckle.

“Is that little girl the devil in their mouth? If the devil really looks so cute, then I might take a few such adopted daughters in the future.” Landry curled his lips, showing a trace of contempt.

“What nonsense are you talking about?! Daring guy!” A guardian knight rushed viciously.

Landry straightened his chest: “Why, don’t you think that little girl is not cute? If you really think so, then please allow me to mourn for your poor aesthetic for a few minutes.”

The guardian knight stayed there immediately. For a while, he was completely unable to keep up with Landry’s absent thinking.

“Very sharp complaint.” Lance commented: “But I like it.”

Several guardian knights approached immediately, frowning, and drew out their whips, ready to give these prisoners who don’t know what to do.

However, at this moment, a loud command came from the high platform: “Keep quiet, everyone! The purification ceremony begins!”

Lockhart raised his hands, his expression serious. His gaze swept across the audience, and when he swept across the guardian knight and the car of prisoners, he also deliberately restrained his subordinates’ behavior with a severe gaze.

The guardian knights immediately put away the whip in a gloomy tone, and whispered viciously: “Fortunately for you, after the purification ceremony, I must let you taste the whip!”

Beside the stake, a man dressed in white raised the torch in silence and walked towards the little girl slowly.

The onlookers couldn’t bear to close their eyes, only the fanatical young people shouted excitedly. Their eyes are scarlet, and the blue veins on their foreheads are bulging.

At this moment, a figure suddenly broke into the execution ground.

“Please, don’t burn her to death. She is innocent, she is innocent.”

“His Royal Highness the Goddess of Mercy will definitely forgive her!”

It was a crying nun, and while the guardian knights were all focused on the new prisoners, she suddenly broke through the periphery and rushed into the execution ground.

“Don’t burn my sister…” the nun cried.
