—————————————————————————————

Cheng Mo stood on the slope of the prison roof, next to the raised windows, leaning against the wall to take off Doctor Bird's beak mask and coat, just about to find a place to hide, when he heard the voice of the system: "You have already Obtain the "Lord of Plague" set, which can be stored in the equipment bar and used at any time."

The equipment in the other world is extremely rare, and there are only two types, one is the creation artifact, and the other is the epic artifact.

Most of the artifacts of creation are artifacts left before the first year of AD and the sacred objects of various sects, such as Xie Minyun’s three-star scepter, such as the crown of thorns whose whereabouts are unknown; and epic artifacts are blessed by famous historical figures. Artifacts, like Napoleon VII's seven-star marshal's scepter, like Yuan Guangyi's Mikazuki Zongjin
Generally speaking, creation artifacts are more precious than epic artifacts, but no matter what kind of artifact they are, they are priceless treasures.Cheng Mo immediately put the "Lord of Plague" suit into the equipment bar, then opened the information bar, and clicked to read the information of "Lord of Plague".

"The Lord of the Plague—from the "Book of Wisdom" is an artifact created by the master creator with the hands of mortals, and it can also be worn by mortals. The Lord of the Plague contains the power to destroy the world. It is an incredible creation artifact that can be exempted 70.00% of chemical-type skill damage can be exempted from 30.00% of physical-type skill damage, and can be exempted from 20.00% of physical damage. The damage caused by sacred-type skills is randomly increased by 5.00% to 30.00%.

"Special: The detection range of the carrier is expanded by 30.00%. When the carrier or the body is in the dark, they can avoid being detected by standing still. Intellect increases by 40.00%. HP increases by [-]%. Chemistry department skill cooldown [-]% reduction in time."

"Requirement: Exclusive to judges, the 'Black Death Mission' is successfully acquired permanently."

Cheng Mo frowned slightly when he saw the last sentence. For Cheng Mo, who was especially concerned about keeping his bag safe, this magical weapon that was so powerful that it exploded did not belong to him at all, but this "Black Death Mission" did not have any Explain, I am really confused, and it seems that I have to ask Ms. Delorme.

Cheng Mo didn't want to be discovered by other chosen ones, so he hid by the roof-shaped window overlooking the entire prison. There was still a long queue waiting for the trial in the corridor, and many poor women in the yard were stripped naked.The winter mornings in Christianfield were extremely cold, and they shivered like shaved lambs huddled in the stone-paved courtyard.

Several judges wearing squirrel furs were divided into teams to examine the women in the yard.As for the review method, it is also very simple, that is, to check whether there are any wounds on the women's bodies, and if there are wounds, use a nail-like needle to pierce them in, and if you do not plead guilty, prick until you plead guilty.

There were screams in the yard one after another. Some women couldn't stand the double test of spirit and body, and had to confess their crimes that they didn't need; some women simply admitted that they were witches in order not to be punished; Others, say they are not witches, but their neighbors, relatives and friends are real witches.
All struggling in pain and tears, they bent their knees and almost crawled into the dirt.They said everything, entrapped themselves, framed others, just to separate themselves from the impending doom of death.However, what puzzles Cheng Mo is that they seem to be willing to do anything, but they are only begging for the mercy of the creator and others, and have no will to fight against the injustice of fate.Although there were only a few jailers and a few inquisitors in the courtyard, none of them jumped up to resist the tyranny.

They just kept praying in the bloody gloom.Cheng Mo thought that even the fish on the chopping board would struggle twice under the chef's kitchen knife, but they just begged in tears.

Cheng Mo thought of countless genocides in human history. In the long river of history, scenes like this continued to be staged. He watched all these silently until Cheng Mo saw Ms. Delorme with a pale face and wearing a prison uniform. Pushed by two Crusader soldiers, he was put on a prison cart.

Soon the main gate of the prison opened, and two shaggy-haired skinny horses dragged the prison cart into the alleyway in the morning. This was a rare fine weather, with no fog, no clouds and rain, and the red sun was hanging obliquely on the ridge of the town.

The two religious inquisitors who followed the carriage knocked on the door from house to house, regardless of whether there was anyone in the room, they would shout loudly: "My lord bishop will hold a public trial on the witch Delorme who released the plague in the morning, please go to Watch in the square!"

The shouts echoed down the long street, startling people from house after house.

"What's going on? Priest Brigitte? Why did you catch the Delorme lifter! She's a good person!" A farmer in a cloth shirt with a hatchet opened the door and asked.

"Yeah! You must have made a mistake. My baby was delivered by Delorme's lifter. You must have made a mistake!" A woman holding the baby stood up behind the farmer, and she pitied Looking at Ms. Delorme in the square wooden cage, "My God! What kind of crime is this? You are going to treat Delorme lifters like this."

The farmer's neighbors were obviously also disturbed by the shouting, and many people squeezed their heads out of the door, looking at Ms. Delorme in the prison car, and the soldiers and priests escorting her.People pointed and whispered to Ms. Delorme, who was kept in a cage like an animal.

The Kappa priest in a red shirt said loudly: "You will find out later when you go to the trial! Your Excellency will announce the crimes of the Delorme Witch! If you see the evidence, you will not think that the woman in front of you is harmless." , good and pious believers, these heretics, according to His Excellency, always pretend to be superior to their neighbors in every way. A mild-tempered, pious woman, or a desireless Old women, they will always pretend to obey the Lord's command and give all their money to the poor, but they themselves are ragged, frugal, and follow the creed of humility and kindness. However, it is often such people who may be spreading to you Heresy, telling you that when you are sick, you should see a doctor, not pray to the Creator."

"Go, go and have a look." Someone jumped out of the door, and the leaders were some energetic young people.

Someone asked curiously: "Master Brigitte, it seems that a lot of people have been arrested in the past two days!"

"The recent plagues are all caused by witches. It is said that even Copenhagen has killed many people. You have not seen the horrors of those dead!" Priest Brigitte crossed his chest, "God forbid I will reveal Tianji, but I should still tell you, for the safety of everyone, be ruthless."

Everyone's face changed when they heard the word "plague". Someone who didn't know Ms. Delorme spat at her in the cage and shouted loudly: "It's a terrible thing, you should immediately burn her"

"Is it really Ms. Delorme? I still don't quite believe it."

"See it and you'll know! Believe in the Creator!"

The noisy sound woke up the whole town, and more and more people gathered in the alleyway. People were discussing enthusiastically, and they followed the prison car, as if they were going to participate in some celebration.

"What did the person who raised Delorme commit to be treated like this? The Creator is so unfair!"

"I heard from Priest Brigitte that the plague was brought from hell by witches like them and spread to the world!"

"How could it be? Why should a person who spreads the plague help us poor people? In any case, I have to appeal to the bishop. I must have made a mistake, or the bishop was deceived!"

"That's right! Witch Delorme is such a kind lady. My nephew broke his leg while riding a horse, and it was cured by her herbs and spells. How can such a person be a witch?"

"I remember she has a daughter, right? Anna is a lovely girl who shines like gold. She is also a well-behaved girl. When she meets an old man on the road, she will help her back home. She won't even see a homeless person. Be stingy and give some bread, mother and daughter are such beautiful and polite women”

"That's right! A saint from hell!" A young man watching the excitement said strangely.

"What nonsense?" There were shouts from around.

"It's not what I said, Priest Brigitte said." The young man whispered.

"Don't say such blasphemous words before there is no trial!" The people around criticized in unison.

Cheng Mo mingled in the crowd, and all kinds of opinions gathered into a torrent. Most people had doubts about Ms. Delorme's "being a witch". After all, she was the most famous doctor in Christian Field. Not only has he treated countless patients, but also saved countless pregnant women who gave birth.In addition, Delorme lifters only charge very little medical expenses for civilians, and even the poor without money just need to give something to them, so Delorme lifters are synonymous with noble character in Christianfield, Even the city lord praised her without hesitation, and hired her to be the medical officer of the city lord's mansion.

Who would have believed that such a perfect woman could be a witch?

Of course, there were some people who gloated about their misfortune, but these were only a small minority. The vast majority of people went to the Judgment Conference with good intentions.

But Cheng Mo is not optimistic at all.He knew that the authority in this era was the church, and it was only a piece of cake for the church to manipulate public opinion and incite public opinion.

As for the people.

Just the rabble.

--------------------------

Cheng Mo soon followed the flow of people to the square in front of the Sistula Church. At this time, the fire burning in the middle had been extinguished, leaving only black ashes spreading like smoke under people's feet.There are two Christmas trees on both sides of the steps of the church. There are no gifts on the trees, but red silk dots.Above the steps, the entrance to the main entrance of the church is arranged in the shape of the bishop's court of the Inquisition. In the center, there are two side-by-side high judge seats for bishops and religious judges.The two rows of seats next to these two seats are arranged in a symmetrical circular arc, and there is a table and stool for clerical work in the corner.There is also a clumsy wooden bench for the prisoners placed under the steps.

There is also a wind and rain curtain above the semicircular atrium of the Sistula Chapel. Looking from the center of the square, the chairs of court officials and clerks are on the right, and the stools of prisoners are on the left.There are church doors on the left and right.At the bottom of the steps, there were two benches, on which were the dignitaries of Christian Field. They seemed to be attending some kind of banquet, and they were all dressed in gorgeous and shining clothes.

Sitting in the middle was the Lord Leohard, his expression was a bit dignified, his eyes were dark circles, and he looked absent-minded.

"Lord Leohard, did you not sleep well yesterday?" asked the man wearing a black cashmere cloak and agate jewelry on his head.

"What?" It took a while for the Lord Leohard to react, "Oh! Lord Dim, I'm really sorry, I really didn't sleep well, thinking about going out tonight."

"The responsibility is huge!" After a pause, the man leaned slightly and asked in a low voice, "Is the one lifted by Delorme really a witch?"

"I'm not too sure about this, but since His Excellency the Bishop decided to have a public trial, he should be sure."

"It's a pity for such a beautiful widow." The man turned his head and looked at Ms. Delorme, who had been escorted to the side of the church, with ambiguous eyes.

Leohard didn't want to talk more about the lifter of Delorme, and the two began to chat about the ethereal angels in the city.

The sun gradually rose to a 45-degree angle, filling the entire square. It was a bright December morning. Cardinal Worf came out from the side door of the church. He walked to the bishop's seat without hurry He sat down, followed by his page and the papal judge.

"Silence! Silence!" the Bishop's servant walked up to the steps and shouted loudly. He looked arrogant and looked at the poor families densely packed in the square with disdain.

When the square became quiet, His Excellency the Cardinal smiled generously at the crowd, and then he got up and bowed to everyone, looking like an elderly gentleman with a gentle temperament, but in fact he was a The authoritative and decisive bishop who hides his secrets.After saluting, he introduced the Holy See judge beside him, and then said, "Bring the defendant here."

Madame de Lorme, in irons and fetters, was led by a detachment of crusaders, who led her to the prisoner's stool, unshackled her, and stood behind it.Mrs. Delorme was wearing a gray prison uniform. There was not a single stain on her body, and there was no mark left by the interrogation. It was as if she had been treated kindly in prison. No one noticed that her skin was flushed due to lack of water. White sunken, she is still full of energy, at this moment she doesn't even have any fear.

Yet it is also what the majestic Bishop needs in order to create a memorable and complete effect.

"You can sit down, Delorme." The bishop made a gesture of asking to sit down, and then said softly, "I see that your face is pale. Didn't the jailers give you breakfast?"

"Yes, but I didn't eat it. I'm afraid your food is poisonous." Mrs. Delorme sarcastically said coldly.

The Holy See judge from the Inquisition on the side did not have such a good temper as the Cardinal, and immediately shouted angrily: "You witch, you are now on trial, please don't despise the Holy See!"

"Anyway, you are all determined to send me to Gisfield Abbey and burn to death! Why should I be polite to you hypocrites!" Ms. Delorme said neither humble nor overbearing.

"How did you know that we would send you to Guisfield? We didn't tell you about this!" The Holy See judge sneered.

Lord Leohard at the bottom of the steps became pale and fidgeted. He told Ms. Delorme the news yesterday.

"The Creator told me, I have received an oracle, they told me that you church people have stolen the authority of the Creator, deceived the world, ignorant the world, the Creator said to obtain salvation through the knowledge of God, but you deceive the world As long as you believe in you, you can be saved, and you even put a price on sin! You have monopolized education, so that everyone can only learn theology, and all other knowledge is heresy. You," Ms. Delorme said sternly Answer loudly.

Leohard secretly heaved a sigh of relief, thankful that Ms. Delorme was still righteous and did not betray him.As for the nobles in the audience, they all showed a thoughtful expression.But the audience was at a loss, they didn't know what Ms. Delorme was talking about, and they couldn't even understand some words.

The judge of the Holy See jumped up from the high chair. He interrupted Ms. Delorme angrily, and shouted: "Wait! Wait! How dare you blaspheme the Creator! How dare you blaspheme the Holy See! She is crazy." The Holy See judge turned She looked at the cardinal, "She dared to say that our ideas are given by the devil, and hers are given by God. It's terrible! The devil has come to us again! My lord bishop, she should be tortured, and she must be pulled out quickly." Drop the tongue of this deceitful witch, says the Creator: Witches shall not be allowed to live!"

"Sorcery? Is it sorcery that I practice medicine to save people? Is it sorcery that I observe the astrology and prevent the plague? I want to tell you that the plague is the Creator's dissatisfaction with you! It's just that the Creator does not allow me to tell all the truth, even if I I told you, you don’t understand! Come on! Send me to the stake! Sending me up will be your doom.” Mrs. Delorme’s expression was cold and stern, like a warrior eager to sacrifice herself.

The crowd in the square became agitated because of this atmosphere. Although they couldn't tell which was right and which was wrong, generally people tended to sympathize with the one raised by Delorme.

The cardinal glanced at the restless judge of the Holy See, and said lightly: "Don't get angry, Judge Peter, if you get angry, you will follow the witch's way. We must calmly show her crimes to the world, no matter how much she says." All the extravagant hype will not change the fact that she is a Satanist."

"Yes, my lord bishop." The judge of the Holy See sat down angrily.

"Okay, Delorme! We don't need to waste too much time on these verbal disputes. I think facts always speak louder than words." The bishop turned his head to look at the servant boy and said kindly, "Take the witness Leo Call Lucas up."

Soon two Crusader soldiers wearing chain mail and white linen coats came up, one of them was Christian Field's famous knight Leo, and the other was his adjutant Lucas.

After greeting the dignitaries present one by one, Leo and Lucas, under the order of the bishop, began to report what they found in the tower of Delorme, countless potions, dead animals, and a basement. It was engraved with an inverted pentagram representing Satan, and some gadgets that performed black magic. What's more terrifying is that they also dug up two fragmentary male corpses in the yard.

With the statement of Leo and Lucas, the whole square was sensational!When Leo handed over the anatomy book with the male nude body and the black magic gadgets to the Holy See judge.When the judges of the Holy See presented these criminal evidences to the people in the square to watch, the crowd began to turmoil and anger. No one spoke for Ms. Delorme, although they could not understand what was written in the book, nor did they understand what those things represented. What, but the nude portrait of the man is really conclusive evidence, and the evidence is as solid as a mountain.

"I said, this witch is a saint from hell!" The young man caught in the crowd said triumphantly, this time he did not refute him.

"Burn her to death!" The young man took the lead in shouting, then he bent down and picked up a bone that was picked up by some stray dog, and threw it viciously in the direction of Ms. Delorme, and then there were countless The sundries hurled towards Delorme who was standing under the steps, and the loud sound of "burn her" echoed throughout the square.

"This is a medical book! All I've done is to find out the cause of the plague, and it's all for medicine!" Ms. Delorme yelled, but no one was listening.

"This seems to be a real medical book." The man sitting next to Lord Leohard looked at the anatomy book held in his hand by the judge of the Holy See, and said in a low voice.

The judge of the Holy See, who stepped down from the high platform and showed the evidence to everyone, looked at the man proudly and coldly, and said indifferently: "No matter what you write, it is a lie to deceive the public, and it is enough evidence to be sentenced to hang."

The man looked at the pale-faced Lord Leohard, shook his head sympathetically, and made a cross on his chest, "Bless the Creator!"

The Cardinal looked down at Ms. Delorme and said with dignity: "Now I want to ask you a most serious question. Please pay attention to your own answer, because this is a matter of life and death. You admit that these things are yours. Did you do it? Or maybe you made a mistake under the lure of the devil!"

"I do all this for true knowledge!" Ms. Delorme raised her head and looked back at the cardinal without giving in. "I have accepted the guidance of the Creator! You are the devils that hinder the progress of mankind."

"You mean these things are all yours, and you admit that you did all of this? Then do you obey the church's ruling?"

"It's mine, but I've never been the one to release the plague. I don't obey the church! I only believe in the Creator!" Ms. Delorme said stubbornly.

"Stubbornness!" the cardinal stood up, and said in a deep voice, "I condemn Delorme!"

Deafening cheers erupted in the square, all celebrating Ms Delorme's fair verdict.

This scene is like a real celebration.

"Send this heretic to the streets! Then tell everyone that we have found the murderer of the plague, and will hold a ceremony to burn the witch in Gisfield Abbey! In view of the critical situation now, I declare that everyone has the responsibility to report witches, Those who know and do not report will face harsh punishments, and those who report meritorious deeds can get a quarter of the witch's property!"

--------------------------

"Burn her to death!"

The voices in the square were boiling, and Ms. Delorme was shackled again by shackles and handcuffs, and then she was picked up by the soldiers and sent to the prison car on the edge of the square.

Cheng Mo stood on the edge of the square. He saw the nobles sitting in the front row kept silent, got up and walked towards the church.The people in the square raised their angry faces one after another, and the soldiers deliberately left Delorme from the middle of the square. She was tortured in various ways, she was punched, kicked, spit on, and before she had walked halfway through the square, Ms. Her saliva was drooling, her head was covered with bruises and purple spots, and the inhuman torture made her collapse on the ground halfway through.

At this time, Anna, who was full of tears, rushed out from the crowd. She hugged her mother, crying hoarsely: "Mom! Mom!"

——————————————————————————————————————

I recommend "Nine Dragons Swallowing Pearls" by the seventh brother of the Qi family.

The map of the elixir handed down by the first emperor reveals that the warlock Xu surnamed Xu searched thousands of miles and found the location of the elixir, and drew the location and description in a parchment scroll.Although I don't know the reason, the warlock surnamed Xu finally gathered 40 boys and girls, and after going to sea again, there was no news.This mysterious parchment scroll drifted in the long river of history, and finally fell into the hands of the Empress Dowager Liang of the Xia Dynasty Empire. Although the Empress Dowager Liang was only in her early [-]s at this time, she was seriously ill and died soon.The general guard, the only great general protecting the country of the Xia Dynasty, was beheaded alone because of the war with the enemy countries.
　Due to the advent of Gutenberg's printing technique, "The Hammer of the Witch" was reprinted nearly 200 times in 30 years, triggering a protracted "witch hunt".According to the theory in the book, because "witches" are enchanted by the devil, they are no longer sensitive to pain, so they can perform various tortures on them as they like.For example: use a red-hot iron to scald the defendant's hand. If the hand is burned, it means that the defendant is guilty; let the defendant take a holy ring in boiling water with his hand, and then put a bandage and seal on his hand. traces, you are not guilty and so on.The even more unbelievable identification method is: tie the defendant hand and foot and throw it into the lake——if she sinks to the bottom, it means she is innocent; on the contrary, if she floats on the water, it means she is blessed by the devil and must Sent to the stake.The result of this absurd practice is that, regardless of whether the judges are guilty or not, they can only die.Due to different sources of statistics, later generations have been unable to give an accurate answer to the number of witches who died in the witch-killing frenzy. Various statistics range from hundreds of thousands to millions.Bamberg, a small town in Bavaria, Germany, was a small town with 3 people at the time, but within 6000 years, 5 people were convicted as witches and died in the sea of ​​fire.At that time, Europeans regarded cats as accomplices of witches and killed them.This has greatly reduced the number of cats in the Middle Ages, almost on the verge of extinction.According to the research of scientists, the extinction of cats led to the proliferation of rats, which indirectly promoted the spread of plague.Witches are mostly medical practitioners, and the killing of witches also caused the epidemic to be uncontrollable.
