The water season is the coldest and wettest season of the year, but the midday sun is still firmly dispelling the morning mist. It's just that the square paved with bluestone slabs in front of Black Castle still looks a little wet.

Under the guidance of the waiter, Victor walked onto the high platform just set up in front of the square. The nobles on the high platform turned a blind eye to the Baron Victor who came up, or sneered or glared at him.

Victor calmly walked to Count York and the bishop beside him, and said a noble salute; "Victor, I have met the Governor, and I have met Bishop."

The round Count York glared at him fiercely, snorted disdainfully, obviously still worried about Victor's copying 50 purple gold coins from him.

On the contrary, the master bishop next to him gestured to him kindly; "Baron Wimbledon, don’t be polite, please take your place and witness the next ceremony."

Victor straightened up. , Glanced without a trace, and the image of Bishop Pierot was engraved in his mind with the help of the X-3 chip.

Bishop Pierot, with an ordinary face and a normal figure, his face is covered with wrinkles, at first glance it looks like a weather-beaten old farmer. But Master Bishop has a calm look. Although he is wearing the cheapest cultivator linen gown, he is spotlessly dressed. Sometimes a faint brilliance escapes from his body, and he has a sacred and inviolable demeanor.

Victor even noticed that there is a thick layer of calluses between the palms of bishop's fingers, which should be the traces left by often grasping heavy weapons, but the seemingly thin and dry forearms are coiled like Reinforced muscles.

Pierot, as the bishop of the western province of Gambis Kingdom, is pampered and powerful, but not arrogant or lax. It is a fluke that Radiance Church can dominate the continent for thousands of years. Victor couldn't help but sigh secretly.

At this time, the people of Black Castle began to gather in the square, and a four-meter-high copper pillar had been erected in the center of the square. The upper end of the copper pillar was inlaid with two iron rings, and the two chains were hanging down from the iron rings on both sides. Such a penalty post in the last ages did not know how many wizards' lives ended.

"I heard that the wizard caught this time is Will, the gardener in the town."

"Will usually looks honest, and goes to church every morning and evening to pray. He hasn't been interrupted for several years, and he was praised by the priest himself as a pious person. He didn't expect him to be an evil wizard."

"hmph, I knew he had a problem for a long time."

A man taking pleasure in other people's misfortune showed off his brilliance to the people who were discussing, but he saw the neighbors sneer in disdain, and said angrily: "He Will is just a groom My son, did not learn to drive horses but became a gardener. The flowers he produced were better than those cultivated by my three generations of gardeners. The stewards of those big households secretly told me that the flowers he sent were scented in a vase. It’s so compelling, I won’t thank him for a month. I thought he had some secrets, and I observed him secretly for a long time, but I didn’t realize that he had any secrets at all, tsk tsk, it’s not as good as mine. Hey, I knew he had a problem at that time."

Seeing everyone's sudden realization, the man became more proud, but didn't know their conversation. Victor, who had been separated by more than 20 meters away, used X -3 chips were screened out in a noisy environment.

Victor remained silent, but he became more certain that someone else must have murdered him!

At this moment, one end of the crowd was separated by a passage by several clergymen, and two warriors in silver armors were seen dragging a limp on the ground towards the copper pillar.

Victor takes his mind, with the help of the chip, magnifies the picture in his eyes to a level that is clearly visible.

This man who was dragged and dragged by the church warrior is obviously wizard Will. I saw that he was wearing a blood-stained linen robe, his legs were twisted irregularly, and he was obviously interrupted. His bruised face was bloodless, and his wet hair was messyly attached to his forehead. Above, pale lips kept trembling, eyes full of fear and despair.

Victor noticed that this unlucky gardener did not have the traces of holding weapons frequently, his muscles were loose, his will collapsed, and he was completely an ordinary person.

The two church warriors have dragged the gardener to the stake, and the two chains have been dropped. The warrior began to buckle the chain on the wrist of the gardener.

Probably knowing that time is running out, the gardener started to struggle.

"What are you doing?! Let go of me! Let me go! I am not an evil one!"

"Please, let me go! You made a mistake!"

The two warriors and ignore him, each grabbed the other end of the chain, pulled hard, and lifted the gardener.

Later, Father Ivan, a burly, bearded priest, dressed in chain mail and holding a platinum scepter, walked from the passage to the high platform of the bishop and the noble lords.

Seeing an acquaintance, Will the gardener became more and more excited. He pleaded loudly to the priest: "Master Ivan, please save me, I am a pious person, I am not a devil! Please !"

"Shut up, you heresy!" The priest was full of hair and beard, all righteously angry, and then respectfully handed the platinum scepter to Master Bishop.

This scepter is cast from precious mithril and fine gold into the image of a weeping angel. The angel’s face is sad and the eyes are weeping. The angel’s body is tied to a pillar. The lower end of the column forms the handle of the scepter, and the angel's wings and hung hands form the top of the scepter.

Bishop Pierot took the crying angel scepter and raised the scepter high. The linen robe on the bishop had no wind and automatically, a little bit of brilliance escaped from the bishop and gathered to the top of the scepter, white rune from The void was born, revolving around the scepter, and suddenly, a white golden sacred fire was generated on the top of the scepter.

Seeing this Divine Vestige, various praises were heard from the people, and the nobles on the high platform also showed awe. Bishop Pierot passed the scepter to Father Ivan with satisfaction.

Seeing the priest walking up with the holy fire scepter, the gardener knew that he was not immune, closed his eyes in despair, and mumbled the very familiar prayer in his mouth.

"Lord, please forgive my sins and guide me..."

"Profanity!" An armored warrior yelled in a low voice, raising the sheath long The sword swung up.

The "pu" long sword slammed heavily on the gardener's chin, and the blood mixed with a few teeth was scattered on the square.

In the exclamation, the crowd around the copper pillar seemed to be afraid of sticking to the wizard's blood, and they dodged backwards, causing chaos.

Victor looked at Master Bishop’s livid expression and moved his heart. He took the opportunity to say to Bishop: "Master Bishop, I heard that wizard is best at disguising. This gardener looks like a poor bug, didn’t expect It was an evil wizard who killed three innocents. It’s unbelievable."

The interruption of Victor made Bishop Pierot's face a little dark, and he said for a moment: "Indeed, wizards are good at disguising. It’s difficult for ordinary people to distinguish. Even if we clergymen don’t perform magic appraisal and prayer, they can’t see anomalies. However, the three dead have nothing to do with this wizard."

"Oh? Is there another wizard? Didn't you get caught?" Victor stared at Bishop Pierot, looking nervous.

Bishop Pierot looked at the slightly disturbed nobles, and explained: "That's not true. Of the three dead, one of them is an evil one, and the other two are his sacrifices for an evil ceremony. . And that wizard was backlashed by the devil during the ceremony, and he has died in the ceremony. So, adults, don’t worry, the clergy of our church have already held a prayer for appraising the magic, and now it’s confirmed that there is nothing else around Black Castle. The wizard is now."

Victor quickly glanced at Count York and found that he was looking at himself disdainfully, as if he was despising his timidity. Obviously Count York already knew these things.

Through this fatty expression, Victor confirmed that what Bishop Pierot said was true.

In the sound of "Ah!" mournful scream, the gardener's body was ignited by the white golden holy flame, and the flame grew from small to large, and began to swallow the gardener's body.

Just as the gardener was struggling in pain, one after another green brilliance burst out of his body. While repairing the gardener's body, he tried to expel the white golden sacred flame.

However, the Holy Fire seems to be able to strengthen itself by swallowing these green brilliance, but it becomes more and more vigorous.

"Sure enough, the evil wizard!"

"Burn him to death!!"

"Lord! Please protect us." There was a sound from the crowd. Panicked prayers, angry curses, and applause.

The green brilliance was squeezed up from the gardener's body by the white golden sacred flame, and finally fell out of the gardener's head. Only one by one green runes were generated from the void, and then disintegrated into green light spots one by one.

Green light spots are scattered within 10 meters around the copper pillar. Green blades of grass grow out of the cracks in the bluestone slab at a speed visible to naked eye.

As the green light spots fell more and more, the hard bluestone slabs could no longer resist the vigorous force of life. The thick vines crushed the bluestone slabs, and the baring fangs and brandishing claws surged towards the copper pillars. go.

"You will not succeed! You will not succeed!" The gardener's tragic hiss revealed a palpable majesty and anger.

The holy flame of white golden finally gushes out from the gardener's eyes, burning the gardener's entire body to nothingness.

For a time, there was green grass, flowers blooming, and absolute silence on the square.
