469 The devil’s messenger, Satan Sumo?
Witch hunting is one of the popular Catholic scandals in modern times and is the cornerstone of the collective impression of the “Dark Ages”.
However, in fact, from the existing data, analyzing the records of the Roman Curia and the religious trials of churches around the world, although large-scale witch trials cannot be said to be fictitious, they can also be said to be pure rumors.
The premise of trying heresy is the existence of heresy, which is something that only extremely sensitive religious organizations would do.
But in the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church was the only one in power, and there was no crisis of faith at all, so naturally there was no motivation to conduct witch trials.
According to detailed investigations in later generations, it was the Protestants after the Reformation who really liked to conduct witch trials.
Protestants were born from heresy, so they attached great importance to the purity of faith. After trying witches, they threw dirty water on Catholicism. This is also a routine operation in political struggles and is not worth mentioning.
Generally speaking, witch trials are mainly for building consensus and dividing property, that is, eating up the whole family.
In theory, when the church’s rule has not collapsed, such things rarely happen.
Unfortunately, reality never needs to be reasonable.
Pest’s father didn’t know what the Black Death was, he only knew that the epidemic had spread to his land.
He didn’t know what a witch was either, he just wanted to put a hat on her so as to strengthen his determination.
The only thing he knew was that many serfs in the village showed symptoms similar to Pest, and the symptoms of these serfs seemed to have spread to their families.
This terrible phenomenon immediately aroused his fear.
If he didn’t do something to stop it, I’m afraid all the villagers under his command would be infected with the same disease and die.
For the nobles, these villagers are his property. A dozen villagers may be traded, but all the villagers are irreplaceable property.
Without civilians and slaves, how can you show that you are aristocratic?
And more important than the status of aristocracy is your own life.
What should I do if I am also infected with this terrible curse?
Out of fear of death, he turned his eyes to the infected villagers.
He has never been to school, has not received any academic training, and even does not understand basic theology. Naturally, he is not capable of controlling variables or simply using scientific isolation methods.
Faced with these patients who have lost their ability to live, not only can they not work, but may also cause more casualties, the first thing that popped into the lord’s mind was primitive and barbaric means.
– Kill them!
Although we don’t know where the disease comes from or how it spreads, it doesn’t matter.
As long as we are sure that these people are infected and cursed, we just need to kill them.
After all, dead people can’t spread curses, right?
With this attitude, he used authority and violence to intimidate the villagers.The villagers gathered the patients who had lost their ability to resist together and announced their decision with authority.
“Bang!”
Under the fierce wooden stick, blood spilled on the ground.
The bodies of the villagers fell to the ground, and everyone except their families breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I don’t know if this method is useful, since the lord said so, it must be meaningful, right?
In the final analysis, doing something is much better than doing nothing.
After an hour of killing that was not like a trial but better than a trial, the lord finally remembered that he had missed one person.
That was his daughter, Pest, who had now become Su Mo’s maid.
To be fair, he was unwilling to attack Pest.
It was not because he was concerned about the non-existent father-daughter relationship, but simply because he was afraid of Su Mo’s attitude.
It is not necessarily a good result to attack the maid of a big man without authorization.
However, thinking of the humiliation of Pest feeding the pudding to the dog in front of him, thinking of his bravery in executing the patient himself, and thinking of the state of being worse than death after being infected, the lord subconsciously felt a trace of heroism.
The killing has been carried out to this extent, what if there is still a hidden danger.
It is hard to say what Su Mo’s attitude will be. What if he is really infected?
The fear of death made him quickly complete the psychological construction.
Killing his daughter is something he can’t do. Who let her be infected with the disease and cursed by the devil? You can only blame the devil, not yourself.
Even if Su Mo knew that he did this, he would probably not punish himself, but would reward him on the contrary. After all, as far as he knew, the more important people are, the more they cherish their lives.
Who would risk his life for a mere maid?
And if Su Mo is really so unwise, then he has to question why the curse came with the other party’s carriage.
After thinking it over, he felt that his decision was absolutely correct, and he came to Pest holding a bloody stick.
“…”
The murderous voice of her biological father was reflected in her eyes, and the petite girl trembled, tasting the fear of hanging by a thread for the first time.
A small drop of rain fell from the gray sky, and the blood on the stick flowed along the water through the lord’s hand and flowed to the ground, diluting it to the point where the red color could not be seen, and only a little blood could be smelled.
At this moment, Pest suddenly felt as if he was in a dream.
The peace and joy of the past week seemed to be a fantasy before death, and the cold picture in front of him was the real reality.
The noble and mysterious Lord Sumo is not here, the mysterious and lively Lord Kulimo is not here, the strict and old-fashioned but not annoying Leticia is not here, and the mysterious sister-con Lamia who likes to bully her is not here…
The three little Aihara Enju never came back, leaving her with the cold reality.
It will take less than ten seconds for her toI will die in the hands of the Lord!
One second I was in heaven, and the next second I was in hell.
Cinderella’s magic stops at twelve o’clock in the morning, but it’s only noon now!
Thinking aimlessly, Pest gave up the useless persuasion of the Lord and just raised the corner of his mouth sarcastically.
The fat arm was raised high with unparalleled determination.
“Swish!”
The wooden stick made a strong sound of breaking through the air. Pest closed her eyes and the picture of Su Mo and others appeared in her mind.
In the last moment of her life, she didn’t intend to look at the Lord in front of her.
Just at this moment——(To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
“Stop!”
Leticia’s stern but heroic voice suddenly sounded from behind Pest.
Then, there was the sound of a wooden stick being cut off and a heavy object falling to the ground. It was most likely that the lord was thrown to the ground.
Hearing this sound, Pest was stunned at first, then showed an extremely surprised look, and a strong sense of security emerged in her heart.
“.Lady Leticia!”
Turning her head, she saw the head maid standing behind her with a dignified manner, using an unknown black shadow blade to help her untie herself.
After being untied from the rope, she fell into two petite and familiar arms.
“Pest, are you okay?”
Aihara Enju asked with concern.
“Does she still have a fever?”
Chishou Natsuyo touched her head and gave a conclusion.
“No, it’s okay… Well, not really okay, but I won’t die for a while.”
Pest, who was still a little dizzy after being caught in the rain, shook her head and chose to admit defeat without saying anything.
With the support of her two companions, she barely managed to stand.
Looking around, she saw the villagers who retreated ten meters away with awe and fear on their faces, the lord who was knocked to the ground by an unknown force, and Su Mo and Julimo who came late. []
“Devil! It’s the power of the devil, you are the devil’s messengers!”
The lord howled in fear.
He didn’t see clearly what knocked him down, only a vague black shadow.
But there is no doubt that it was not an attack that humans could do.
Not to mention the means by which Leticia appeared like a ghost.
There was no one there one second ago, but he appeared behind Pest the next second. What else could this be but the power of the devil?
No wonder these people have such luxurious enjoyment, but I have never heard of their names.
It turns out that they are not foreign nobles, but devils who play with people’s hearts.
These curses must have been brought by them.
It makes sense, everything is explained!
The lord’s wailing caused fear in all the villagers. Everyone knelt down tremblingly and tried desperately to stay away from him.Leaving Su Mo and his group.
When the lord announced that Pest was a devil or a witch, no one was afraid, because everyone knew they were not.
But when the real devil appeared, they wanted to worship and stay away from it.
Hearing the lord’s fearful voice, Pest was slightly stunned.
She still had a good impression of Leticia and was unwilling to accept this accusation, but if it was not a devil, how could it appear so suddenly?
Out of trust, she looked at Leticia, hoping to get an answer.
However——
“Devil?”
Hearing this, Leticia made a contemptuous voice.
“My master is not such a low-level thing.”
“…”
? ? ?
Pest subconsciously widened her eyes.
No! Sister! What do you mean by this?
The director is not a devil, but a higher being than the devil. He can’t be Satan, right? ! .
