They all call me the Outer God
Chapter 30 Witch Trials
Riya didn't know what made him laugh.
He hadn't read the so-called "The Origin of Endles", but what surprised him was that there were people here who promoted evolution.
According to the propaganda of those churches, they were just short of directly slapping the supernatural power in front of the people and shouting "Look at you country bumpkins, praise the supernatural".
How much courage does it take to continue to promote biological science under such pressure.
"It's really amazing to be praised by you like this."
Riya said casually, and then continued to read the book. When he saw something he didn't understand, he began to ask James. James answered without getting tired of it, and perfectly played the role of a "mentor".
After an unknown amount of time, the door of the bookstore was knocked.
James went to open the door, and a child holding a newspaper stood outside the door, wearing a newsboy cap and a big patch on his clothes.
"It's little Billion. Have you found a new job recently?"
"Yes, someone said I can help them unclog the chimney. Apart from being a little dirty and hot, this job is pretty good.
Thanks to this job, I have new money to buy food. Otherwise, I might have to go to a nearby factory to try my luck without telling my parents."
Billion was talking, and suddenly remembered that he still had something to do. He quickly raised a stack of newspapers in his hand, pulled out a few from the thin hemp rope and handed them to James. He took a swar from James and left in a hurry.
"In the town of Wins now, even such a young child has to consider work."
James shook his head at the back of little Billion, then closed the door, sat down on a chair with the newspaper he had ordered and read it.
But soon, he found that Leah was staring at him.
"What's wrong? You want to read the newspaper too?"
"I know that kid just now. He's a regular at the bakery, but he only buys half a loaf of bread each time."
"Poverty is like this. Do you think he doesn't want to buy more? Look, such a young child has to deliver newspapers, help people unclog chimneys, and even wants to work part-time in factories...
If I remember correctly, only children can do chimney cleaning because they are small and can get into narrow corridors. The most important thing is that the price is cheap.
It only takes one swar to make them clean the chimney, but the mortality rate in this line is also quite high."
James turned to the next page of the newspaper, folded them in half, and said casually: "When it comes to money, rich people will find it vulgar because they don't care. They pursue spiritual wealth, but people here are different.
Without money, they can't live. For money, they can do anything."
Riya fell silent, and only the sound of paper flipping remained in the bookstore.
A few minutes later, James suddenly laughed.
"Kercha, guess what I saw in the newspaper?"
"What?"
"Witch, it's a witch, the Church of the Sun is going to execute witches in public!
Although I am not happy to hear the name "Witch", and those who are executed are not those people, but it is still necessary to go to such a grand event. Do you want to go?"
He invited Leah to watch the excitement together, but found that Leah's face suddenly became surprisingly bad.
The remark that "once a woman is found to have knowledge, she will be regarded as a witch" suddenly echoed in his mind at this moment.
He thought of Angna, and at the moment he didn't care about any books, he left the bookstore and rushed to his residence, praying in his heart that Angna was okay.
However, the facts are destined to disappoint him. His luck has never been good. After searching the whole house and knocking on every door without hearing any movement, and not seeing Mrs. St and Angna, Leah suddenly forced himself to calm down.
He left his residence and asked people on the street where the church was trying witches. When those people saw that the person asking was Leah, they pointed directly to the smoke in the distance to show him.
Leah looked in that direction and found that there was a wisp of gray smoke rising slowly in the distance, dividing the sky into two halves.
His heart was lifted instantly. Ten minutes later, when he arrived there, the place was already surrounded by the "righteous" crowd.
The high platform was full of firewood. A woman wrapped tightly in black cloth stood on the firewood. The cross bound her torso so that she could not move. The firewood around her had been ignited, but for some reason it did not spread to the center.
Judging from her figure, the woman was not Angela, but Leah was not relieved because not far away, he saw Angela standing in the crowd staring at that side in a daze, and Mrs. Steve stood behind her and wiped her tears with her hands.
Leah squeezed over with great effort: "Why are you here!?"
"Brother Leah..." Angela looked at him with tears in her eyes. This was the first time she called Leah's name.
"I don't understand why, why, why are they trying to judge her, what did she do wrong!"
The girl tried to suppress her voice, she bit her sleeve, leaving a wet stain there.
"Miss Amysha is my friend, she is knowledgeable, everyone who has talked to her will be impressed by her cultivation, everyone praises her, but for such a person, they want to..."
"Don't say it." Mrs. Steve hugged Angna, after hearing about this, Angna rushed out desperately, and Mrs. Steve could only follow her to prevent her from getting into trouble.
On the high platform, the priest held up a book and declared the witch's crime, saying that she spread evil and must be purified by the sun. Then, he uncovered the black cloth on Emisa's body. At that moment, the surrounding flames suddenly rose and approached the center.
The people at the bottom shouted to kill the witch, and the priest at the top shouted to kill the witch. In such an environment, the "witch" suddenly laughed wildly, and the smoke from the rising fire engulfed her face.
"Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha——"
"That's right, that's right! I am the witch, and now this witch is going to curse you! I curse you, you will be trapped in poverty for the rest of your life and you will never be able to turn over! !
Forever, never turn over!!!"
Looking at the scene, Liya suddenly had a strong desire to escape, and the strange feeling of dizziness came again.
He held his forehead, and many people around him supported him with their hands to prevent him from fainting and falling to the ground. In a daze, he quickly waved his hand to say that he was fine.
When Leah recovered and looked back at the platform, the woman in the smoke suddenly turned into Angna, and Mrs. Steve fell to the ground motionless, and no one approached.
"What's going on!?"
Leah took a step back in disbelief: "Am I hallucinating again?"
