Chapter two hundred and eighty fifth execution day
The time now is three o'clock in the afternoon, nearly three hours before Orlando's execution.
Two hours after the announcement was sent out, Orlando's execution location was finally determined.
As the first major criminal to be executed with a silver injection in the history of the White Tower, Orlando will be publicly executed with a silver injection on the highest spire of the White Tower. Because the top floor of the second tower is only three meters away from the Great Barrier.
At a distance of less than 100 meters, if an execution is carried out at that height, people below cannot see it at all, and the meaning of public execution is lost.
After a brief discussion, the execution location was determined to be on a protruding balcony on the second floor of the second tower. This was a height that could be seen clearly even from the ground.
Now some Silver-level wizards have begun assembling silver-infused chairs on the second floor of the second tower—this is still a fairly primitive type of silver-infused chair. Although it is an old style, it is as shiny as a newly produced one.
It was a luxurious torture instrument in the style of high elf art.
Although in theory the simplest silver-injection execution only requires drawing blood, injecting silver, and freezing, it is said that under the advice of several old wizards who have studied the ancient culture of Elkart, Orlando's execution will restore the ancient Elkart as much as possible.
Human silver pouring ceremony.
The instrument used to carry out the execution of the silver injection was a rather artistic chair fixed on the ground.
The only set of silver-infused torture instruments in the White Tower was brought out along with part of the treasure house when Scott and Anvilia left the royal court. So far, it can be considered a cultural relic.
.
It looks somewhat similar to the electric chair used by Elkart in ancient times for electrocution, except that it is wrapped with a large number of twisted silver thorny metal vines.
These vines that look like metal are actually hollow, and they are not metal, but some kind of wooden vines with pseudo-iron properties, but they are just coated with a layer of silver on the outside.
These artistically twisted vines are actually consumables that are pulled out from the opening of the silver chair after placing the materials in the material slot behind the seat - they are still slightly hot to the touch now.
When executing the punishment of injecting silver, the victim must sit on a seat fixed on the ground. Then, these silver vines will tighten little by little under the action of the mechanism until the sharp spikes scratch through
The skin, silver vines are embedded into the body along the cracks in the skin. The first step is considered completed until there is no more bulge on the skin surface.
Silver lines will appear on the surface of the victim's skin like a tattoo, and the blood in the victim's body will be drawn out by the lines on the vines and flow to the seat behind him. At the same time, the victim's whole body will be covered with wood with pseudo-iron properties.
The vines were fixed, and the whole person seemed to be nailed to steel bars. His joints could no longer bend any more, and he could only sit stiffly on the seat like this, with his remaining life also falling into a countdown.
When the victim faints due to blood loss, the executioner will press the switch on the seat, and the mercury vapor stored in the silver vine will be gently injected into the executioner's blood vessels to fill the vacancy in the blood.
.
The slight high temperature softened the vines. The seat behind the victim unfolded backwards under the action of the mechanism and turned into a metal surface, and the victim's body tied to it unfolded backwards and lay flat.
At this time, the victim is probably dead. The mercury will continue to fill it, completely filling the blood vessels. Then the executioner will take away the vessel containing the mercury and use a huge one engraved with antiseptic incantations.
The victim is placed in a crystal cover, filled with mercury until no gaps are visible, and then sealed. After being stored at low temperature, it is placed in a coffin and buried underground.
If the executioner's technique is good enough, the victim should not suffer any unnecessary injuries. In this case, their souls will be completely frozen in three months.
Their corpses are still elastic, their souls still retain intelligence, and they even have touch. But because their souls are too heavy, it is impossible to rise to the sky and return to the kingdom of gods. They can only freeze like this.
Until the world ends - or is stolen by the devil.
The souls of these sinners have been turned into crystal-like works of art, and the filth in their souls has been completely purified by mercury. In the world of the devil, every sinful soul filled with silver is the top luxury product. So far
, there is no soul that has been punished by the silver injection that is not in the hands of the devil. People will not fight the devil for the corpses of these sinners. In more cases, the devil will sign some contracts with them that are beneficial to people, as a reasonable
Legally take away the exchange of these souls.
The ritualistic nature of the punishment of silver infusion is related to the culture of the ancient Erqat people. They believe that through such rituals, people's blood can be purified and the thoughts of those who are buried near the silver injector can become pure.
To be more precise, today's three capital punishments were originally invented by the Elkat people.
The cross is the symbol of the Sleeping Master. Those who were crucified on the cross would have their blood soaking the entire cross. And when they died, the smell of blood was enough to attract flies. The Elkat people believe that this
It can make the eternal sleep master who loves cleanliness hate such a dead person, so that his soul will not be taken away. This is why the Elkat people bathe and put on makeup for the corpse.
The punishment of burning and the punishment of injecting silver are both related to the two mortal enemies of the Elkat people. One of these two mortal enemies will turn into black venom and enter the human body to control other people's thoughts, while the other will turn into a human form.
Use lies and music to stir up fights among the crowd.
What these two have in common is that they both have a considerable degree of immortality. Only the punishment of silver injection and the punishment of fire can seal the two. It can be said that at the beginning, the ritual components of the three capital punishments were more than
Punishment. And it wasn’t just the three capital punishments at the beginning, it’s just these three that have been passed down.
Later, crucifixion, burning and silver injection became the capital punishment for anti-humanity, traitors and heretics under the interpretation of the gods.
However, even the scholars of the White Tower can only understand this to this extent at most. After Elkart turned into a desert, that period of history was also buried together. The Winter Fruit Club probably still has relatively complete records, but
There are only some rather vague descriptions of the White Tower hidden in poetry and biographies.
There were still a few hours before the execution, and the gray-haired old wizards had already arrived at the top of the second tower. They gathered around the silver chairs being assembled and excitedly exchanged their stories about the ancient Erkart.
research.
The executioner this time will be Scott. In response to the requests of the old wizards, he will use the most standard procedure to demonstrate the entire process of the silver injection execution to the majority of wizard apprentices and wizards who study the ancient history of Elkata.
.
Unlike those young people, these old wizards are more looking forward to what the entire process of the original version of the Silver Punishment will be like compared to Orlando's crimes. After all, listening and watching are two completely different experiences.
Just when the silver-infused chair was about to be assembled, a burst of noise came from the downstairs of the second tower. The old wizards couldn't help but look down.
Among the noisy crowd, I saw a black-haired man with black cloth around his eyes and shackles on his hands behind his back. Surrounded by densely packed crafty knife wizards, he came out of the basement of the third tower and headed towards the side door of the second tower.
Go.
These magic knife wizards wore blue bird medals on their chests and looked proud on their faces. They strutted and led the biggest sinner in the White Tower to his execution site.
People with sharp eyes have noticed that Orlando's face is extremely pale and his steps are sloppy.
No one who saw this scene would doubt whether he had been tortured, because the facts are already in front of them - Orlando is now clearly losing blood to the point of almost going into shock. Even if the healing potion can cure the superficial injuries, it cannot
Replenish blood. Orlando's severe blood loss at this moment has proved how cruel the previous torture in the White Tower was.
After all, in order to ensure that the soul will not be squeezed out from the wounds of the corpse, the person who is subjected to the punishment of silver injection is not allowed to have any large wounds.
An old wizard looked downstairs at the almost boiling crowd surrounding the Knife Wizards, and subconsciously looked up at the sun.
Now the sunset has begun to set in the west.
In no more than an hour, dusk will fall. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotian.net
