Chapter 244: Trial of Heretics
---------..
"Director, this is my improved hand crossbow. Add double layers to the double layer. It can fire four crossbow bolts at one time. The shortcoming is that the firing range can only be maintained at twenty meters, and it cannot penetrate armor. Paladin explained with a smile, put down the four-layer hand crossbow in his hand, picked up the lens and said: "This is my invention of the cold-sighted mirror. The magic core of the ice wildebeest transported from the north is melted through alchemy without fire." Lenses made by me. As long as you use your own magic power to activate the runes I carved on the sides of these lenses, they can be used normally. Give it a try, Director."
He reached out and took the round lens handed over by Paladin. When Oxwell saw a shelf next to the lens, he immediately hung it on his ear with some understanding. The lens happened to be placed in front of his right eye. Feeling the structure coming from the lens, Oxwell used a slight injection of magic power. Immediately I felt a chill coming from the lenses. It makes the right eye feel strangely cold. It's like the uncomfortable feeling of air conditioning blowing on your eyes.
But Oxwell, who had just felt so uncomfortable, suddenly saw the image in the lens change drastically! Different from the normal picture seen with his left eye, what he saw through the lens at this moment was a large area of dark blue, and where Paladin stood, a human-shaped red and yellow color appeared. Oxwell, who immediately showed an expression of surprise on his face, moved his lenses to look at the smiling Paladin, then moved them back again, feeling the coldness emanating from the lenses, and could clearly see the heat emanating from Paladin.
"Oh, this is simply amazing. Paladin, in this way, even in the dark night, we can clearly see the dark wizard lurking in the dark!" Paladin heard these words. He just smiled and reminded: "Because it is filled with strong water elements and is too close to the eyes. Therefore, this prop cannot be used for a long time. It will cause serious damage to the eyes. It can even cause blindness."
Afterwards, seeing the delighted Oxwell, Paladin then added: "I am trying my best to improve him. I believe that future improved works will definitely eliminate this effect." After hearing this, Oxwell breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly stood up and put down his glasses, immediately interrupted Paladin who was about to introduce the wand, crossed the table and said with a smile: "Dear Paladin, your dedication during this period has won the respect of me and the entire tribunal. Trust. Everyone praises the weapons and props you make as gifts from the true God."
"It's too modest. I just obey you and the instructions of the true God. In order to spread the glory of God to the world and bring warmth back to the world." Oxwell waved his hand slightly and suddenly put on his coat and picked it up casually. Scepter smiled and said: "Come on, there is a trial. Come with me to see it." Paladin tilted his head slightly and looked at Oxwell who walked out of the door, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. Yes, he didn't lie. He wanted to spread God's glory all over the world, but that God was not Enos, but himself!
However, Paladin lowered his head and followed Oxwell across a corner. Down the stairs. We came to the stage on the second floor of a holy hall covered with white stones. The Vice President Corleone was already waiting there. Seeing Oxwell coming at the head, he immediately smiled and said: "Director, I have been waiting for you for a long time, this time..." Just in the middle of the sentence, Corleone immediately noticed Paladin who was coming behind Oxwell. It was only a very brief surprise, and he immediately showed his normal face and waved his hands: "Our beloved craftsman, please come this way."
Oxwell waved his scepter and moved the seats on both sides. Paladin and Corleone sat down separately. The sharp-eyed Paladin immediately saw that he was currently in the referee's hall of the referee. In a huge church, there is no bench like the others. Instead, the seats are arranged from top to bottom like a lecture theater. In the center is a tall statue of Enos with his hands spread out, and seven or eight priests wearing white divine robes sitting next to them, reading and recording.
I saw one handcuffed and wearing prison uniform. The thin man with a frightened face was brought into the church by several executives. Let him stand under the statue of Enos, and the two executives immediately stood on the left and right. I saw a man at the head of a row of judges sitting underneath, looking at the documents on the stage. He stood up and knocked on the table with a clever gavel, and said in a formal manner: "Introduce myself, I am the second inquisitor of the Inquisition. This time, I am the chairman of the inquisition to judge your heretical crime."
But the man who was brought up did not say a word. The magistrate, however, did not take it seriously and continued: "Mr. Husky, the black wizard, you are accused of murdering twenty-five people, stealing the bodies of others for burial, stealing, destroying other people's property, murder, learning black magic, and believing in The evil god Belair, seventeen charges including heresy and treason. Do you have anything to defend against such accusations?"
"Hmph, I fell into the hands of your tribunal, and you put handcuffs that prohibit black magic. Since you have decided to kill me, why are you still trying to stage this scene with all the lies? I believe you have even burned the rack. Get ready for me!"
Here comes the man with a desperate look on his face. The reluctance is beyond words. Hearing this, the magistrate put down his documents indifferently, picked up the Bible and the cross, and recited with a holy look: "Father in heaven, your love and gifts are all over us. I beg you to give your love to these lost people." Let them be the lambs. Let them get out of the confusion in the shadow canyon and return to the true Kingdom of God!"
As soon as the judge finished speaking, he suddenly put down the Bible and the cross and asked loudly: "Everyone, what is the verdict?" These numb judges naturally raised a black dagger. Then put them uniformly on the table. The magistrate immediately raised his gavel, banged it hard on the table and announced loudly: "Now, let poor Mr. Husky bathe in the holy fire!"
Seeing this, the execution officers on both sides immediately picked up the chains from both sides and grabbed the man's handcuffs. Swinging up, he circled the outstretched hands of the statue of Enos. Then pull it down hard! The desperate husky was immediately lifted into the sky by the huge force coming from the bracelet. It is exactly in the shape of a cross and hangs on the chest of the statue of Enos which is also in the shape of a cross. But he saw the two executives calmly fastening the chains to the locks on the ground.
Then one of them walked over and pulled the handle. The mouth of the statue of Enos immediately opened with a roaring sound, and a stream of water flowed out of the mouth, dripping onto the husky's head without a doubt, and instantly flowed all over his body. "Ahhhhh!" Suddenly, the dark wizard let out a series of painful screams. The clear water fell on him, but immediately turned into the hottest flames, burning his body! "Holy water!"
Paladin immediately understood what the clear water was. At this moment, I saw the executioners and magistrates standing up in unison, making the sign of the cross in front of their foreheads with their hands, and a low voice of prayer could be heard faintly. And along with these sacred chants and prayers, the black wizard quickly turned into ashes under the burning of the holy fire. Died in the bosom of the statue of Enos. It really echoes the method of returning to the embrace of God that the Holy See has always promoted. (..)
