Chapter 536: Underground Boxing Match

If the captured witch has not awakened, then for humane reasons, she will be allowed to live until she is sixteen years old and the day before she awakens her power, she will be killed.

Even if the birthday is calculated incorrectly, the newly awakened witch will not have enough power, and will still be wearing the shackles of the forbidden demon, so she will not pose any threat.

In short, these witches will not be allowed to escape alive. Because no one knows whether they will lose control.

The second solution is of course to kill them on the spot. This is usually the fate of awakened witches who resist fiercely.

The third unconventional approach is to try to help them control the witch's blood, or even cure the witch's disease.

This is often unrealistic. Because the witch herself may not even know whether she can control that kind of power.

As for the treatment of witch disease, it is even more expensive. The average person simply cannot afford it. More often than not, medicines are not even available.

Since the witch curse on Earth has never been widespread and is almost extinct in modern times, before meeting Yulia, all Kodera Makiko knew about witches came from Erina's introduction and some occasional news she read on the Internet.

As for those, Xiaodera never took them seriously. So after hearing what Erina said was partly true, she was very surprised.

Kodera asked Erina if witch hunting and witch hunting were the same thing, and received a negative reply from Erina.

She clarified that witch hunting was a complete joke and was just a persecution of innocent women. I can probably count the number of real witches killed in the witch trials on two hands.

Witch hunting is carried out in periods and areas where witch curses occur more frequently. Although cruel, it has a positive effect and is well-founded.

There are definitely innocent girls who are deliberately killed as witches, but it cannot be denied that this kind of movement is necessary. It's a helpless move.

But this kind of hunting often becomes too aggressive and terrifying.

In addition to some people who would avenge themselves and deliberately kill young women they disliked as witches, there were also large-scale massacres.

For example, this famous example - during the Middle Ages, the witch curse of Marsalas broke out on a large scale in the beautiful city of Marsalas in Europe, named for its large sage grove, so all the girls under the age of 18 in the city were kidnapped and executed collectively. ——Because they are all considered to have the possibility of giving birth to the blood of witches.

As for why we arrest people under the age of 18 instead of the normal ones under the age of 16, it seems to be because they want to be on the safe side.

Pregnant women were hit in the abdomen with wooden sticks and forced to have abortions. Make sure she doesn't give birth to a little witch.

Pregnant women who were unwilling to cooperate were even beaten to death.

Marsalas was destroyed by this tragedy.

Because the massacre occurred without any warning, people did not have time to escape. People watched their daughters and wives being taken away and could only cry helplessly.

Some people dared to fight back at first.

But he was immediately transformed into a corpse.

The place where the bodies of these girls were buried was known as the "Witch Pit".

It has now become a tourist attraction. People often come to light candles to pay homage to them - but Erina complained that they were not heroes or saints, but simply victims. This kind of visit was like opening scars, disrespectful at all, and would only make them helpless. rest in peace.

I really hope they have a good sleep and don't light any broken candles. Just don't come.

When Erina clarified this, she also mentioned the ancestor of her companion Kikakue Jinbo: the knight who participated in the battle to seal the gate and defeated Izanami with the first generation of Huangquan Miko and others - Herman Amis.

He was a Templar Knight of the Holy Religion of Glory at the time. It was in order to treat his sister Lisa who was suffering from witch disease that he went to the East to find the legendary medicine that could cure this disease.

Herman is also inextricably linked to the Inquisition. This organization is not only Tianyi Sect, but also Guangyao Holy Sect.

This glorious knight died at the hands of the Inquisition.

The reason is that in order to protect his hometown that was shrouded in the blood moon and blood rain and invaded by monsters, he used the onmyoji and Shushan celestial arts learned from the East.

The villagers seemed to be more afraid of him for using these "heresies" than monsters. The church also labeled the former paladin a heretic and had him burned at the stake.

His family was also investigated for this. Later, the Inquisition found that he had been hiding the fact that his sister was a witch. They believed that his entire family were heretics and enemies of the Lord of Glory, so they planned to kill Lisa and Hermann's wife. All the children were burned to death.

Lisa was caught, tied next to her brother's burnt body and burned at the stake. But she was too powerful to be killed by the holy fire and was reborn from the ashes. With the help of her brother and friends, she fled to the Far East with her sister-in-law and nephew.

In fact, the Tribunal hunts monsters just like the ordinary Temple Knights.

But the focus of the trial court's work is not on this. Only when the Temple Knights are overwhelmed or need additional help will the Inquisition participate in combat missions unrelated to their duties.

The Inquisition has a high combat effectiveness, and its leader is the Grand Inquisitor. The combatants are composed of high-level arbiters, arbiters and soldiers of the Inquisition.

It is equivalent to the Temple Knights Leader, Temple Knights and Temple Soldiers of the Temple Knights. As for the position of captain, it is just a higher position and there is no special professional title level.

The Grand Inquisitor is also an arbiter, but his level is higher than that of the high-level arbiter.

Fear of the Inquisition has many sources.

But the fundamental reason is that their methods are often cruel and their ideas are very fanatical.

Fortunately, Cole City's Tribunal has a pretty good reputation. Yulia, a friend of the Tribunal, is even more of a gentleman.

Apart from his love of gambling, he has no shortcomings.

The most astonishing thing is that on a monthly average, he always wins.

The income from this side job has exceeded the salary and allowances of the temple knights.

This betting dog friend from the Tribunal had gossiped with Yulia and Dora when he was a guest before, saying that when he went to the underground fighting arena to place bets, he had seen people suspected of being the archbishop coming and going several times.

The man went to the VIP room, and he was indeed worthy of the status of archbishop.

Every time the Archbishop goes, it's always on a Friday. And they always go in and out alone - probably because they don't want the servants to know that they have this kind of hobby. Or maybe he just didn’t want to attract attention because he brought his subordinates with him.

Anyway, today happens to be Friday.

So if you go there today, there is a chance to see him.

If you want to confront the Archbishop and ask for something, you can't miss this opportunity. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to catch him alone.

In fact, Yulia never quite believed what her friend said because she could not accept that the archbishop also liked to gamble.

But in fact, even if he really gambled. Yulia was at most a little disappointed, feeling that the archbishop's image in her heart was no longer so glorious.
