() This is the first time Philio sat drinking coffee with the witch, and his mood was so subtle that he was about to break down. Ahaha, why did the corners of his eyes feel moist.In the past, which witches did not retaliate against society for wanton destruction, and their strength was full of evil, and it was enough for Filio to cut off their necks.

But now?

This Hong Su doesn't feel any evil in him, on the contrary, he has more fear. As a witch, he has a bad personality, but Firio has nothing to do with him.In other words, even if you can't fight, you can't talk, and the opponent threatens to kill you. Believe it or not, you will be embarrassed.

"I don't care about this matter anymore. I'm going back to ask for leave, and you can make trouble as you like. The only thing is, you are not allowed to kill people. If you dare to kill innocent people indiscriminately... No, I will monitor you!"

"Hey hey hey~ It's called surveillance, but you are actually attracted to me? Of course, you are so interesting, I just want to lure you out for fun when I'm bored."

"Why are you holding on to me? Get out of my country quickly and don't show up again."

"Don't leave, as I said, I will temporarily store your blood in your body, and I will get it back sooner or later."

When I mentioned this incident, I remembered that when we first met, I was almost killed by Hong Su.Firio shivered, took a quick sip of hot coffee, and almost chewed the cup because it was so hot.The embarrassed appearance made Hongsu hold his stomach and laugh out of shape, and all the ladies would cry like that.

After hastily wiping off the coffee on his body with a paper towel, Firio tidied up his mess and looked at Hong Su. He really didn't believe what Hong Su said.

"Don't look at me like a puppy, don't worry, I won't violate the precepts and kill people indiscriminately. All my killings are in self-defense."

"I can't understand the concept of a witch's self-defense. Do you dare to swear in the name of God?"

Hong Su actually clicked, and then she reported a series of gods' names, all the names of gods known in this continent are wrapped in it, no matter good or evil.

"Okay, God of Creation, Lord of Judgment, God of Death, Goddess of Sky, Goddess of Dawn, Sparta, Icarus, Nagato Yuki, Daimoe...you choose one."

"...In the name of the Lord, under the witness of Judgment Libra, I, Firio, will not expose your existence within a month, and you, Hongsu, will not kill any of his followers."

"Yeah, I swear I swear, what a serious guy."

"When you are so solemn, your face should sink like water!"

Hong Su put a piece of cake into his mouth indifferently and said.Fillio opened his mouth and found himself unable to speak, he couldn't help covering his face with one hand with a headache, and didn't let go for a long time.He really has nothing to do with Hong Su.

"The cake is really good, and the coffee is also very good. I will collect some travel expenses in the past two days and leave. I don't want you to worry about it. By the way, have you seen the execution of the witch?"

"No."

"Then go and have a look. Today, a witch will be caught and executed immediately. That guy deserves to die, so I'll leave it to you."

During the speech, Hongsu brought the cake in front of Filio to himself, and talked while eating.

"I believe that the relationship between us is more than that. You, under the authority of the gods, before the king, people have to ask their own conscience. Looking at those wrong things, you can't shirk and say that you are helpless. If you can , there will be a wonderful connection between us, I believe."

"I don't want to get in touch with you, leave my country quickly, and don't let me see your evil deeds."

"Okay, okay, let's watch the burning, it's a rare thing for you."

Burning?What's so interesting, anyway, it's just a trial for the crime of the witch, and those evil people will be burned as soon as they are burned.Firio, who always goes out on missions, really hasn't seen the execution of the witch with his own eyes, so let's go and see it this time.

After Firio left, he was still sipping coffee and glanced at the scenery outside the window.

"When you have a clear conscience but face people's censure, what can your Lord do for you? When you are upright, but you are subject to speculation and abuse, what can your God do for you? There are still some times when you want to know me so much. conspiracy, then I will tell you when the time comes."

Philio, who was missed by others, staggered forward and almost fell down. Now he is in a mess.

After returning to the holy court, I did see the new prison car, and after asking someone for a while, I heard about the witch.This time, the witch hunting group captured the witch who was walking the plague. The circumstances were serious, and they needed to be purged by burning at the stake immediately.

There is no need for a trial, obviously the impact is extremely bad, and not killing is not enough to anger the people.

"……you want to see?"

"Ah."

Immediate execution is not common. It only happens to criminals with serious circumstances. From witches to wizards, as long as they dare to massacre and spread the plague in the territory, they will be executed immediately after being caught.

It seems that in another week, Illya will be burned in the same way.

By the way, Eusbiu didn't know that his student had neglected his duty to watch the burning, and before the execution ground, Firio was so shocked by what happened before him that he couldn't speak.

A huge five-meter-high cross, the witch was tied up high, and her body spread out her hands like a cross. Both hands were embedded with spikes at both ends of the cross.

"Punishment..."

There is nothing pitiful for the witch who spread the plague to end up like this. Even if it is slightly cruel, it is still within the acceptable range of Filio.

The Witch was alive, alive, and clear.The executioner raised the iron bucket and poured pitch and turpentine on the witch.The entire cross combined with the witch became a huge torch, and the fire was temporarily unlit, and the bishop was reading the crimes of the witch.

The crimes were read out one by one, and a lot of new firewood was tied to the witch's body like rice dumplings. The crowd piled firewood under her feet, and the execution was about to begin.

The flame spread from a red spot to the entire pyre in an instant, and the heat wave hit the face, even standing a few meters away still stings the skin.The witch uttered a cry of terror, and she finally realized that death had come.

Her cry was so heart-piercing, the woman's body was tossing and turning crazily in the flames, and the iron chains that bound her made a tooth-piercing rubbing sound.

The crowd of onlookers was boiling. They shouted for justice. No one panicked because of the witch's screams. The believers raised their hands frantically. This could almost increase the heat of the fire, make the flames more purifying, and eliminate the plague. .

"Horrible scene."

Firio, who was the most active knight in chasing the witch, couldn't help but cover his ears and backed away restlessly.

The witch's voice became more and more sharp, as if the bowstring was slowly tightened, and she kept shouting and cursing. Gradually, the bowstring was broken, and the witch's piercing voice suddenly turned into a vague wail.Before she died, the witch's fiery eyes scanned the world for the last time, imprinting those who expected her to die in her eyes.

The burning continued, and when the flames died down, the executioners collected ashes from the ruins, crushed them and burned them a second time.

Firio left before the execution was over.

"How does it feel?"

Hong Su rushed out from some unknown corner and stopped in front. Filiou stopped before he was about to hit her chest, and drew out half of his long sword in shock.It's not that Philio has never killed a witch before, and he has long been used to the blood in battle, but this is the first time he has heard such a shrill voice.In the past, when watching the execution of the witch, Filio would not have been touched like this, but recently he has been paying more attention to such things.

If Illya is executed by burning at the stake, such a scene is really unacceptable.

"That's what the witch deserves."

"This woman was an ordinary woman two days ago."

"impossible."

"Is there anything impossible, such as finding out what happened to the naked female corpse that was fished out of the moat half a month ago, and what happened to that mother."

Firio nodded imperceptibly, and he left immediately, becoming obsessed with the truth of the incident that Hongsu said.

After contacting the administrator, Filio quietly asked for the case records he wanted on the grounds of investigating the commercial street. After searching carefully, Filio found that what Hongsu said was indeed true.Grabbing this case, Firio asked the nearby city guards, and got a lot of the same information.

This case has not been solved yet, and the murderer is still at large. The deceased was a peasant girl who sold vegetables in a market in a common area.Half a month ago, the girl's mother came to the city to look for the missing girl, and finally fished out the girl's body in the moat with the help of the locals.

"Gone?"

"That's all I know."

The city guard looked puzzled, and looked around cautiously when answering Filio.

"That's all I really know, but this girl died strangely. She must have been abused before she died. Even a blind person can see it."

"Hey, what are you doing over there?"

"Report sir, Lord Knight will ask me if any suspicious people have passed through!"

At this moment, the man who looked like an officer walked out from the other side, and came to Filiou while scolding the city guard. The arrogance of the nobles was particularly evident on him. Sneered.

"who are you?"

"Holy Court Knight Firio, who are you?"

"It turned out to be Lord Philio..."

In a blink of an eye, the officer's knight fell down, and the expressions on his face were twisted together in embarrassment. He felt that he was unlucky.

It is not uncommon to see young knights in the Holy Court, and those knights who do not even have titles are looked down upon by the nobles.But Philio is different. He is indeed a young knight, but his strength and status are much higher. If there is no accident, he will be the next Grand Master of the Holy Court.The Grand Priest is the commander of all the knight orders in the holy court, even the duke is treated with courtesy.

In fact, this officer can't be blamed for being domineering. If Filio was replaced by another ordinary knight, it would indeed be disrupting the work of the city guards. The officer's actions are understandable.

"your name?"

"I'm……"

"Needless to say, I'm not interested in knowing."

The nobles in the kingdom are believers of the Lord in name, but they are much more arrogant than the believers of the Holy Court, and these domineering people can be seen everywhere.This kind of person Firio has seen too much, especially during the period when he was on a mission, he was often judged by the nobles, but as time went by, the situation gradually improved as more people knew him.

After Philio left, the officer returned to his position cursing.

"It's unlucky, the guys over there are all dressed in the same way, who knows, just happened to meet this guy. You didn't remind me what to look at!"
