Chapter 2667 Straightforward

"Please wait a moment."

Fangzheng's voice was not too loud, but it echoed throughout the square. Hearing his voice, the bald man who was about to throw the torch couldn't help being stunned, and turned his head to look at Fangzheng.

"who are you?"

Seeing Fang Zheng's luxurious and weird clothes, the bald head became more cautious. The overall level of this world is still in the middle world era. In this era, men generally wear long-sleeved or short-sleeved upper body and tight-fitting trousers on the lower body, and then put on leather boots on the outside. However, Fangzheng's clothes are obviously different. He is wearing a black suit and leather shoes all over his body, and he is wearing a windbreaker. The cloak, from the looks of it, is not too strange.

But Fangzheng's outfit is very strange...

"I'm just a stranger."

Facing the question from the bald head, Fang smiled, walked forward slowly, and pointed to the two women who were tied to the stake in front of him.

"I would like to ask, what crime did they commit to be burned at the stake?"

"Because they are freaks! They are warlocks! Evil power flows in their veins! So they must be purified!"

The bald head shouted loudly again, and at the same time, the crowd around the square also shouted.

"Holy fire! Illuminate, burn, purify all!"

Hearing the cheers from the surrounding people, Ciri frowned, Liz's complexion was also ugly, Miao Jie glanced around, although she didn't speak, but her expression became much stiffer. Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes, looking at the bald man in front of him with the same smile.

"Oh, so these two young ladies didn't commit any crimes like murder, just because they have different blood and power than ordinary people, so they should be executed?"

"Of course, they are the embodiment of evil, the heirs of the devil, and the minions walking in the dark! They are not human!!"

"No, I didn't do anything."

Hearing the bald man's shout, one of the women suddenly screamed.

"I didn't do anything bad! I'm innocent! I just want to live like you guys! Help me!!"

"Witness the gift and mercy of the flame!"

Holding a torch high, the bald man came to the woman and stared at her. And not far behind him, a priest in a red and white robe also began to pray loudly.

"Fire sets us on fire and protects us from evil. Fire, pure and supreme, heals our hearts. Most holy fire, drives away all beasts. Fire will burn all things, and burn the hearts of our enemies. The flame dances constantly, for We light the brightest way. The red flame shines brightly and protects us from suffering. The flame gives warmth and guides the direction of our lives. Eternal fire, we pray to you. Eternal fire, we place our faith in you. Eternal fire, we have no other gods in our eyes!!!"

Along with the priest's prayer, the bald head also held up the torch and looked at the woman with a ferocious smile.

"Freak, this is a special pyre for you, so that you can slowly enjoy the taste of being burned to death. Sooner or later, you will beg me for mercy with various voices, just like other freaks!"

While speaking, the bald head threw the torch into the fire, and then the flame suddenly burst out——then disappeared without a trace.

"Here, what's going on here?"

Looking at the scene in front of him, the bald head was taken aback, and the others were also talking about it. But then, an even more surprising scene happened.

The flame was extinguished silently.

Not only the torches in the hands of the soldiers, but also the pillars of fire around them, as well as the flames in the candles and oil lamps in the homes of the people, all disappeared silently.

The City of Liberty, which was originally burning with immortal flames, is now plunged into darkness.

Even the brilliance of the sun began to dim, and thick dark clouds emerged from nowhere, covering the entire sky.

The citizens went to the street one after another, looking at everything in front of them in surprise and panic. They talked a lot, and they didn't know what happened.

"I see."

And in the square, Fang Zheng's voice sounded again, he folded his hands behind his back, and stared at the bald head in front of him with a smile on his face.

"Because I can't understand, I'm afraid, and because I can't accept it, I'm excluded. Is it possible to get a kind of distorted happiness from easily burning those beings with extraordinary power to death?"

"........."

No one spoke, and many people looked around in a panic, not knowing how to react. And Fang Zheng walked forward slowly with his hands behind his back.

"That's why you gather here, cheering, and jumping for joy, because this makes you feel power, a power that allows you to fight against those inhuman beings... Well, unfortunately, this is just an illusion."

"It's your fault?!"

The bald head is not a fool. Seeing Fangzheng like this, he immediately determined that the strange situation in front of him was inseparable from this man. So the bald head waved his hand, and immediately soldiers stepped forward to completely surround him.

"Who are you! How dare you act presumptuously in front of the eternal fire!"

"The Eternal Flame... Well, the prayer is well written, but unfortunately the people who believe in it are too cheap. A group of stupid mortals seek comfort with the power of the flame."

Having said this, Fangzheng raised his head and showed a cold smile.

"Then, let you see, what is the real flame."

Along with speaking, Fangzheng stomped his feet lightly.

"boom---!!!"

The ground cracked, and hot air erupted instantly, blowing away the surrounding people and soldiers at the same time. The bald man also screamed, hit the wall and passed out. At this moment, the surrounding crowd who were originally watching the execution were also panicked, screaming and fleeing, and Fangzheng also walked slowly to the burning frame and made a gesture. Soon, the ropes binding the two women broke and shattered. Put the two down.

"Thank you, thank you for your help, kind sir."

"You're welcome, it's just a matter of raising your hands."

Faced with the woman's thanks, Fangzheng waved his hand.

"Leave this ghostly place and live in other places. It may be difficult, but it's better than being tied to the stake."

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the two women hurriedly saluted him deeply, then turned and left. And until this time, Shirley and the others also came in front of Fangzheng.

"What the hell are you thinking!!"

Shirley wished she could grab Fang Zheng's collar directly. She originally hoped to keep a low profile at this time, but Fang Zheng messed everything up!

"This way we'll be in big trouble!"

"Trouble? I don't see any trouble, Miss Healy."

Fangzheng stretched out his hand, pressed Shirley's hand, and stared at her at the same time.

"Maybe you still don't understand, then I'll say it again, those who have the power make the rules, and this means that I can do whatever I want. No one can stop me... After all, you have this Time is complaining to me, why not interrogate that bald head and ask him where your good friend is, maybe he knows?"

Hearing Fangzheng's words, Shirley stared at him speechlessly, then rushed towards the unconscious bald man not far away. And Miao Jie walked to Fang Zheng's side with a smile, and took his arm.

"As expected of Mr. Fangzheng, you are really manly. It is really admirable to be willing to fight against a sect for the sake of two suffering women."

"The goddess will not forgive their evil and barbaric behavior!"

Liz clenched her fists tightly, wanting to draw out the chain sword, but she wanted to burn the other party to death just because she possessed a strange power. In Liz's opinion, this kind of behavior was clearly a heresy—oh, yes , she is also a believer.

Well, there is no compromise between heretics and heretics.

At this moment, Ciri also came back.

"Ask, Dandelion is locked in the prison below the Temple Island... Let's get out of here quickly!"

"Do you know where Temple Island is?"

"Of course... what do you want to do?"

Faced with Xili's questioning question, Fangzheng rolled his eyes.

"Of course I went to save people."

"Are you crazy?"

Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Shirley was dumbfounded and turned pale with shock. She originally thought that Fang Zheng would run away in the chaos after saving someone, but she didn't expect that he would go on and go directly to the Temple Island?

"Are you going to be an enemy of the entire Novigrad and Eternal Flame sect?"

"So what?"

Fang Zheng glanced at Shirley with a smile.

"Miss Healy, you are too forward-thinking, you are used to running away, and you have given up thinking. In fact, there is not only one choice in this world. Perhaps in your opinion, we should proceed cautiously and find clues, and take a chance to get your friend out. But to me, there is an easier solution to this problem, which is to just walk over there, break down their door, and take people away."

"You...you don't understand what kind of power you are fighting against!"

"It's you who don't understand, Miss Healy."

Fangzheng narrowed his eyes again, staring at Shirley.

"I can tell you clearly that in this world, no one is my opponent. Whether it is the Northern Alliance, Nilfgaard, or Eternal Flame, even if they add up, I will not frown .Also, rather than being terribly annoying to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, I personally prefer to show my strength at the beginning, and let those guys with ulterior motives carefully weigh their choices."

Having said this, Fangzheng turned his head and continued to move forward.

"Okay, let's go, where is the Temple Island? Please show me the way."

For Novigrad, at this moment, they fell into unprecedented chaos.

The whole city was wrapped in a sudden icy cold air. It was clearly still midsummer at the moment, but it was as cold as severe winter. Many people shut their doors and windows tightly, hiding at home and shivering. Even those wealthy businessmen and nobles are no different, they are tightly huddled in the quilt, shivering uncontrollably. All heating methods have lost their effect. Whether it is using flint to ignite the fire or using magic props to create flames, there is no success. It was as if the flame had completely disappeared from this world.

And soon, these people also learned of what happened in Novigrad Square, and quickly identified the root cause of all these disasters——Fang Zheng! !

In their view, Fang Zheng may be a powerful warlock, perhaps because of this, he has the courage to come here and challenge the eternal flame face to face. And can this be tolerated? Of course not! !

Soon, heavily armed soldiers were assembled, and the witch hunters and temple guards also took up weapons and attacked Fang Zheng and the other four.

But then, an unbelievable scene happened.

Hundreds of arrows, enough to turn the enemy into hedgehogs, flew out from all directions, but they completely melted into the air before approaching Fangzheng and the others. There were also some witch hunters and temple guards who tried to attack the other party through sneak attacks, but just after they rushed out, they burned as if hitting an invisible wall head-on, and turned into a pile of coke in a short time .

this is okay too?

Following Fangzheng's side, Shirley was dumbfounded at the scene in front of him, not knowing how to react at all. Of course she knew that Fangzheng was quite powerful, and those metal battleships were enough to illustrate the problem. But what Shirley didn't expect was that Fangzheng himself possessed a powerful power that she couldn't imagine at all. Shirley had seen the most powerful warlock in the world, but no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't think of anyone who could do it. To the extent of Founder.

In fact, until now, Shirley didn't know what Fangzheng had done. He just walked forward leisurely with his hands behind his back. They didn't read incantations, didn't make any magic gestures, and couldn't see any magic power fluctuations, but those soldiers who rushed towards him burned directly one by one, and then completely turned into pitch-black coke.

Thinking of this, Shirley suddenly found himself getting agitated.

If all of this is not a dream, then, does that mean that he really has the power to fight against the entire Eternal Flame Sect, or even the entire city?

This is the value of power?

For Ciri, who had been hunting and fleeing, she had never thought of such a thing. She was used to being chased and killed, and she was also used to running away. Even with stronger power, Shirley just thought it would be easier for him to escape. She never thought that after possessing great power, there would be another choice.

That is, as Fangzheng said, go back head-on!

So what if I just provoke you? So what if you come to kill me? what can you do to me No matter what you do, it means nothing to me, so what can you do?

Staring at Fang Zheng who was walking in front, leisurely and without pressure, Shirley clenched his fists tightly.

This feeling... seems to be really not bad?
