Now that the sun has begun to slant westward in the afternoon, there is only the reckless and motionless witch on the last stake left on the burning platform.
Under the high platform, the melon-eaters who surrounded the entire square were still shouting slogans about burning witches to death, and some vicious and vicious people even threw small stones or rotten eggs Throwing things on the stone platform, trying to hit the poor woman who was tied to the stake.
Those who chanted slogans, without exception, hoped to be quicker and light the last cross on fire, and then, the onlookers, after the evil witch was burned, they could After the game, they went to work on their own work.
Finally, unable to hold back the increasing enthusiasm of the citizens, Bishop Jonathan, the highest person in charge of the only cathedral in Port Royal, walked slowly to Xingtai with a Bible in his hand. Cheers loudly.
In fact, they did not welcome Bishop Jonathan, who is a son of Laoshi, but because they knew that when the priest of this church stepped onto the high platform, it meant that the other party was about to start the final steps of today's burning, and was about to ignite today's last pile of flames , that will also be the last entertainment program that these people can see and look forward to for a long time!
At this time, on the other side of the square, in a slightly empty corner, Governor Wetherby Swan of Port Royal was sitting on the viewing platform. Here, there were two or three hundred British royals dressed in red. The Musketeers guarded them, and next to him sat James Norrington, who had been promoted from captain to Commodore of the Navy Fleet due to his outstanding contributions.
Governor Swan and Norrington are old acquaintances, because, before they came to Port Royal, Norrington served as a captain on the Intrepid, and it was that ship that carried Wetherby Swan The Governor and his daughter Elizabeth came from England.
Thanks to Governor Wetherby Swan's recommendation and Norrington's own efforts, His Majesty the King gave James Norrington respect and status, and was soon promoted from a captain to a captain.
Then, during his tenure as captain of the Interceptor, Norrington tracked down and apprehended some of the most feared pirates in the Caribbean, to great effect! It was through Norrington's efforts that Port Royal gradually became a civilized British colony, and it was precisely because of these efforts that Norrington was finally promoted from a captain to a brigadier admiral of the British Navy.
To commemorate his promotion, Governor Swan also ordered the blacksmith to prepare a new long sword, which he personally presented to Norrington during the other party's official promotion ceremony. Moreover, Governor Swan intends to betroth his precious daughter, Elizabeth, to Norrington, a young man who looks promising and dares to work hard. Actually,
For a while now, what they were discussing in a low voice was the details of the engagement ceremony.
"By the way, Norrington, what do you think of the church's practices over the years?"
After finishing his private affairs, Governor Weatherby Swan glanced noncommittally at the burning platform in the distance and the witch on the last cross. As a governor, he has no interest in these church witch hunts. .
He didn't really want to come to this kind of occasion, but the church issued a very formal invitation to him, so he had to waste his precious time here, sitting on this stupid viewing platform and watching those church Idiots burn witches to play.
The period from the 15th to the 18th century, at this time, was not only the golden season of the Age of Discovery, but also the craziest period for the church to hunt witches! Their churches are not only killing those preaching religious elements on the European continent, they even brought this trend to the New World.
"Ahem... Dear Mr. Governor, kingship and theocracy have always been a very sensitive topic. I don't think we need to discuss these at all."
Brigadier General Norrington whispered to the governor's ear and reminded him.
Although, he himself is very displeased with the dirty practices of these churches. He knows better than anyone whether those people on the stage are witches or not! What's more, now is the time when the British Empire is trying to expand its colonies, and a large amount of labor and population are needed everywhere. It can be said that every labor is very precious.
And now, look at these people in the church, they're burning witches? How dare the royal army use precious troops to maintain order in the execution ground for them? In Norrington's view, this practice of the church is simply unreasonable!
Of course, he only dared to think about this kind of thought in private. Even though he has now been promoted to brigadier general, he would never dare to speak out casually and put it into practice for such remarks that would obviously cause him trouble.
"Ah, you are right! Yes, this is indeed a very sensitive subject! Well, let's change the content, Norrington, what do you think of Elizabeth?"
Although he has decided to marry his precious daughter to the young brigadier general he saw, Governor Swan still wants to ask again, whether this Norrington will stand on his side, in his own Help yourself in the Governor's career?
"Miss Elizabeth is a beautiful and kind girl. It will be an honor in my life to marry her! From now on, we will be a family. If you have anything to do, just ask the governor!"
Norrington has just taken the first step towards his seemingly brilliant life. Not only has he been promoted to brigadier general, but he is also preparing to marry Bai Fumei. Therefore, at this moment, he needs the help of Governor Swann, an old England nobleman, so that he can Go further on this path in the Royal Navy.
He knew very well that Governor Weatherby Swan was not only able to come to Port Royal and take charge of this important place, he even had the qualification to write directly to His Majesty the King. It can be seen that the other party is definitely not an ordinary nobleman. His energy in the upper layer of the kingdom is absolutely extraordinary!
"Very well, Norrington, I will remember what you said today. I hope that in the next time, we can make Port Royal more prosperous and stable, making it the most dazzling port in the entire Caribbean." Pearl of the
After hearing what Norrington said, Weatherby Swan couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction.
As the governor of the most prosperous area in the British Caribbean, the reason why he hopes to marry his daughter to Norrington is because he is optimistic about the future of this young man. The power serves him as the governor.
Now, when he heard the brigadier general's accurate answer, it gave him great satisfaction. From then on, he, the governor, has a military force that can be used and absolutely obeys his orders in the Caribbean region, which will be an indispensable boost to his career as governor.
...
Bishop Jonathan finally stood in front of the last witch on the high platform. He first smiled kindly and raised his hand to signal the cheering crowd to quiet down before holding the book he had already scratched. The Bible with a shiny cover came to the witch Charlotte who was tied to the cross.
Looking at this witch with her head bowed and motionless, a trace of imperceptible ferocity flashed in his eyes, and then he first made a sign of the cross on his chest, and then slowly put his hand on his Bible to cover it.
"Witch, do you have anything else to say now?"
Bishop Jonathan looked at Charlotte coldly, trying to see her humble face clearly through her hair. At this moment, there was no trace of pity in his eyes, as if he was not looking at a certain person, but Just some bug that pissed him off.
"I'll repeat it one last time! Witch, do you have anything else to say?"
The bishop frowned as he looked at Charlotte, who still had her head down and didn't respond at all. She remained motionless and didn't respond, as if she was dead.
Bishop Jonathan, who felt that his process seemed a little imperfect, sneered, and asked the executioner beside him to pick up a small wooden bucket from his side, and then used the sewage inside to ruthlessly rush towards the opponent's head...
This half bucket of water could not prevent her from the tragic ending of being burned to death, on the contrary, it would allow her to struggle longer under the raging fire for a while, allowing her to enjoy more pain in the body and soul of being scorched by the flames!
After the executioner finished flushing the water, Bishop Jonathan nodded in satisfaction when he saw the witch in front of him finally raised his head. If the witch didn't cooperate, the standard process would not be completed, which would annoy him. .
This is... water?
When the stench of sewage flowed from her hair and cheeks into Charlotte's dry mouth, she finally regained her senses, so she raised her head with difficulty and opened her eyes.
Looking at the proud priest in front of her, Charlotte realized that this was the first time she felt that the people in these churches were so terrifying! Abominable! Fortunately, she used to throw a silver coin into the donation box in the church. It was her private money that she had saved for a long time...
However, Charlotte didn't start talking, and ignored the priest standing in front of her. She just turned her head with difficulty, and looked at the two fire racks beside her that had long been extinguished. Two clumps of coke...that was her mother and her sister...
Charlotte stared blankly for a while, her lips opened and closed, as if calling for something, in the end, she didn't cry out, but closed her eyes in pain...Her tears, in the Before, it has already drained.
"Witch! This is your last chance!"
Seeing that the damned witch had such an attitude, Bishop Jonathan snorted coldly from embarrassment, and arbitrarily snatched the torch from the executioner's hand.
Originally, this kind of despicable job of being responsible for setting fire to torture was not worthy of him doing it himself. He is a noble and well-known bishop!
But now this witch's attitude has completely enraged him, so he wants to light the last fire of today with his own hands, and listen to her screaming and struggling in the raging fire!
"I curse you!"
Charlotte opened her eyes again with difficulty, and said her last words. She stared at the priest in front of her, she wanted to write down his ugly face!
If, in this world, there really are those demons or devils, she is even willing to sell her soul now in exchange for the power to destroy these villains!
"I curse you..."
"One day, the raging fire will also devour you..."
"You villains will eventually be tied to the stake and burned..."
"And all your churches will burn and be reduced to ashes in the raging flames... You villains will eventually be cast aside by the whole world!"
Charlotte said the last words in a hoarse voice, which took the last of her strength.
After she glanced at the evil church members on the execution platform again, she finally lowered her head slowly. She knew that her time was coming...
Mother, sister, and father... I'm here to accompany you... I'm really sorry that Charlotte couldn't take care of this family...
"Ha! Did you hear that? These are indeed the words and deeds of a witch! That's right!"
Bishop Jonathan nodded in satisfaction. He didn't really care about the vicious curses of these witches before they died. This is what he wanted to hear. This is the normal process!
So, having achieved his goal, he stepped forward with a smile, ready to take the final step, and then lighted the firewood surrounding the witch, on which the executioners had long since poured flammable kerosene .
"Look at what happened to this witch, and listen to her last cry. May God forgive these fallen souls!"
Bishop Jonathan held up the torch and shouted to the surrounding audience. Following his words, the square began to cheer, ready to welcome their last carnival of the day, and the wail of the witch's cup when the fire swallowed it would be the best way to make them happy condiments!
"Oh? Are you going to burn witches? Actually, I am a real witch!"
Before Father Jonathan Roth was about to throw down the torch, a clear and loud voice suddenly rang out, which overwhelmed all the noise, and then he saw a little girl floating in midair. Fly to him? Fly... fly over?
Oh, God……
Jonathan sighed in his heart, this can't be true, can it? How can this be? How could such a thing happen?
The witches in their church have been burned for so many years. Jonathan can’t count the number of witches who have been sentenced by him alone. None of those witches have the ability to resist, not a single one!
But, now, this strange scene in front of him, the little girl floating in the air and slowly flying towards him, this is the first time he has seen it! And, most importantly, she was just saying, she's a witch? She can fly?
