The father discovered that his daughter was a witch.
He wanted to burn his daughter to death in the square.
What a terrible thing this is. Cannibalism itself is a tragedy that violates human ethics. However, the residents of Shattering Snow City dared to abuse lynching and even dared to take away a person's life at will. This behavior was completely beyond Reggie's imagination.
What is even more chilling is that Erwin was not surprised at all by this behavior, and he even suggested that Reggie should not get involved in this matter.
Reggie rode his horse and galloped towards the square. Erwin reminded him from time to time: "Sir, please calm down. If someone can prove that his close relative is an alien, he has the right to kill the close relative immediately.
Death is the law of the kingdom."
"It can be proven," Reggie sneered, "I want to see how he can prove it."
"Sir, a father will not kill his daughter for no reason. I advise you not to interfere in this matter."
"Why can't I intervene? If you want to judge a person's crime, you must go through a fair trial! I don't care what other places do, this is the rule I have set for Shattering Snow City!"
Erwin urged: "Sir, if you do this, the common people will think that you are supporting a witch, which will affect your reputation!"
"So what? Do you think I really care? They used to call me maggot, wild boar and son of a bitch. I have no reputation at all in their eyes."
"That was before, but it's different now!" Erwin wanted to grab Reggie's reins, "Sir, don't ruin your prestige and glory because of a witch."
"If I cannot change the bigotry and stupidity of my people, my prestige and glory will become worthless!"
Erwin's persuasion was in vain, Reggie would never stop. If an innocent girl was burned to death by a group of thugs tonight, then everything he had fought to protect would be meaningless.
…
In the square, Marván's torch was pointed directly at Bachelo's face, and the flames almost burned Bachelo's beard.
"Go away, you old man, go and deliver milk to the lord!" Marwan laughed arrogantly, "Look at you, you can't stand still. When I burn this witch to death, don't be so scared that you pee."
Pants."
The onlookers burst into laughter, and Bachelo also laughed twice.
"Marwan Rudd, I have told the lord about this matter, can't you sit down and wait for a while?"
"Why should I wait for him? This is my family matter! I am exercising the power of a father!" Marwan pointed at Natalie who was tied to the pyre and shouted, "Do you know how terrible she is?
She wanted to kill me with her witchcraft! She turned into a devil, summoned an evil wind, and blew me from the house to the street! If God hadn't had mercy on me, I would have been thrown to death! If I hadn't tonight
Burn her to death, and she will kill everyone in Shattering Snow City!"
"Burn her to death!"
"Burn her to death!"
The onlookers were shouting crazily, including men and women, and many of them knew Natalie, this poor girl, and her father who was worse than a scumbag.
But this is not important, they don't care about right or wrong, they just want to watch a witch being burned alive, like a flock of crows, waiting for a bloody feast.
Natalie was tied to the pyre and was dying. There was a deep wound on her left shoulder that was bleeding.
Not only her left shoulder, her head was also bleeding, and her ribs were broken by Marwan. She no longer had the desire to live, she just wanted to be freed as soon as possible.
"Water, give me some water to drink..." The poor girl made her last wish. Catherine, her eyes red from crying, rushed towards the pyre with a water jug, but was knocked over by Marwan before she took two steps.
On the ground.
The jug broke, and the broken pottery cut the girl's hand. Catherine lay on the ground, trembling and crying.
"Do you want to help this witch? You despicable woman," Marwan spat at Catherine, "Don't think I don't recognize you. You beat me with that old immortal woman. I remember you."
You are all witches and God will punish you!"
"Burn them to death, they are all witches, burn them to death!"
People were shouting at the top of their lungs, even more excited than when they were shouting for the Snow King.
Sulit and Decto were also among the crowd. Sulit, who had not yet recovered, was still a little unsteady. He clutched his sword tightly and gritted his teeth and said: "Are people crazy? I recognize that one."
Girl, her name is Natalie, she is a kind and good girl, how could she be a witch!"
Decto sighed and said: "So what can we do? Since her father has declared her a witch, there is nothing we can do even if the lord comes."
"There will be a way," Sulit was trembling with anger, "Marwan Rudd is a heinous beast, the lord will definitely find a way."
"This is the law of the kingdom," Old Hill shook his head and said, "The lord cannot disobey the law. According to the rules, he has to give Marwan a reward of ten gold coins. After all, he is the hero who killed the witch."
"That's not necessarily true," Imma said. "Don't forget that our lord once beat up the Prime Minister. Maybe he doesn't care so much about the majesty of the kingdom."
"You can't talk nonsense like this. Our lord is loyal to the kingdom." Will Rogers handed Hunter into the hands of his wife, "If Marwan lights the pyre, you can take the child and leave."
The wife nervously grabbed Will's hand: "My dear, you won't do anything stupid, right?"
"I won't," Will shook his head and said, "I just don't want our children to see that scene. I believe that the law is fair, and I also believe that the lord is fair."
The crowd's shouts became louder and louder, and Batchelor could no longer control the situation.
Marwan shouted at Batchelor: "Damn old man, why don't you get out? You want to protect this witch, do you have any ulterior relationship with her?"
A burst of laughter broke out in the crowd. Bachelo shook his head helplessly and said: "She is your daughter, why do you want to slander her like this?"
"She is not my daughter, she is the offspring of this stupid woman and the devil!" Marwan kicked her wife hard, "I am going to kill this Bastard now, and I want you to see who is the best."
He is the hero of Shattering Snow City!"
Batchelor stopped in front of Marwan and said: "I'll say it again, the lord is coming soon, please wait a little longer!"
"I won't wait for that idiot, what kind of lord is he!" Driven by alcohol, Marwan became more and more crazy, "What has he done? What has he done for Shattered Snow City? Who made us starve?
Who asked me to go to his castle to beg for food like a beggar? I am not a beggar! I don’t need his charity! I am a hero of Broken Snow City, I am..."
An iron bucket fell from the sky and landed on Marwan's head. The ice water in the bucket poured on Marwan's body and extinguished the torch in his hand.
The biting cold wind blew by, which made Marwan wake up a lot.
He took off the iron bucket on his head and found Reggie appearing in the crowd.
Next to Reggie stood Roland Field, holding another iron bucket full of water in his hand.
"Excellent skills, Roland, as good as your bomb-dropping skills," Reggie silently walked to Marwan and said with surprise, "It seemed like someone was slandering me behind my back just now. Can anyone tell me what will happen if I slander the lord in public?"
What kind of punishment?”
The university scholar said: "According to the laws of the kingdom, you will be whipped a hundred times."
Reggie looked at Marwan up and down and said with a smile: "Can you bear a hundred blows?"
