Quick Wear: Random Cheats

Chapter 91: The Burned Earl Witch (3)

The moment the Jia wood energy enters their bodies, it will certainly fuel the fire and make the flames more fierce.

But because the quantity is relatively large.

It will still give them a glimmer of hope, allowing the burnt organs in their bodies to slowly recover, ensuring that they will not die, until the Jiamu Qi is exhausted, at which time Dingshui will inject another Jiamu Qi.

After this happens several times, the fire in their bodies will expand to the point where it will be difficult to control, and will take their lives in an instant.

Dante water will inject Ren water energy at the right time.

It not only reduces the power of Bing Fire, but also has a certain effect of repairing the body. After the power of Bing Fire is weakened to a certain extent, the Qi of Jia Wood will be injected again.

Wood strengthens fire and also repairs the body.

This repetitive cycle is enough to make them unable to live or die, unable to burn to death, and unable to survive, always in a state of half-burnt and half-dead.

Don't be disgusted by viciousness;

Try burning yourself alive first!

Considering that the original body was burned for more than an hour before dying, Ding Shui let the rest of the people go after more than an hour, letting them burn to death naturally, leaving only Kalman and her cousin Otis.

They had been tortured to the point that they didn't want to live anymore.

They even tried to commit suicide by biting their tongues, but they simply didn't have the strength to do so. Even if they did break their tongues or create wounds, the wounds would heal the instant the Jiamu Qi entered their bodies, and they would be unable to die even if they wanted to.

At this time, Ding Shui began to check their memories.

I want to see if there is any other conspiracy behind this.

But after a few minutes, Ding Shui realized that she was really overthinking it. There was no conspiracy, just two greedy people joining forces. Moreover, they were so bold and made such a fuss because they didn't know that the original body had inherited the earldom.

If you know.

Maybe they don't even dare to do these things.

By this time, Ding Shui could sense that her original body's resentment for being burned alive had largely dissipated, so she no longer bothered to torture her cousin and the priest. As she stopped providing Jia Wood and Ren Water Qi, the Bing Fire within them could no longer be suppressed, quickly reducing them to ash.

At the same time, the soul is also shattered.

After all, Bing Fire is not ordinary fire.

At this point, the actual murderers who had participated in the original body's death had all ascended to heaven. As for the remaining servants in the castle, the guards and farmers outside the castle, including the housekeeper and the like, it was not appropriate to blame them too harshly.

Even if they helped chop firewood and provided dead branches.

Or shouting "burn her to death".

After all, if all these are counted and all are to be killed, the killing is indeed too much. They are more like a mob that follows the crowd, keyboard warriors on the Internet, and their crimes do not deserve the death penalty.

The death penalty can be avoided, but the punishment of life imprisonment cannot be escaped.

After all, she is now an evil witch.

So the next second, she used the wind to spread her voice, ordering the butler, guards and others to come see her.

Don't come at your own risk.

About five minutes later, a group of people came here timidly. Some of them were pulling and tugging, or retreating on the way, but under each other's supervision, they all arrived at the edge of Dingshui in the end.

He quickly knelt down and kowtowed to apologize.

Ding Shui didn't say a word, imitating the previous move. He immediately released a bunch of crimson lotuses, which then shot into the hearts of everyone present. The next second, those who had just witnessed the deaths of the preachers and paladins were terrified, while others who hadn't seen the whole process immediately had the witch's methods flashing through their minds.

Some were so scared that they burst into tears, while others kowtowed repeatedly.

"Don't worry, your crime doesn't deserve death. As long as you behave yourself, that flaming lotus will not only do you no harm, but will even benefit you. Otherwise, those over there will serve as your role models."

Ding Shui was obviously referring to the pile of charred corpses nearby.

Everyone hurriedly expressed again that they would be obedient and would never dare to disobey.

"Okay, everyone else go down and do what they need to do. The butler and the knight commander stay here!" There was nothing much for the male and female servants, the chefs and the like to do if they stayed in Dingshui, so they were sent away first, leaving only the butler and the knight commander. These two people were equivalent to the earl's civil and military ministers, his right-hand men.

Except for some things that need to be communicated with superiors.

And a few things that require face-to-face communication at the same level.

All other matters dealing with people of the same level and subordinates were basically left to these two, so when there was something to do, of course they had to stay behind:
“Knight Commander Oren, you disappoint me.

Others may not know that I have successfully inherited the earldom, but you are very clear about this, both you and the butler are very clear about it. When they broke into the castle to arrest me, you did not immediately come out to stop them.

Kick them out, or even kill them.

It’s already a capital crime!”

Seeing how stern Ding Shui's words were, Oren immediately half-knelt down and gave a knight's salute: "Your Majesty, I am guilty of death!!"

Butler Hansen also hurriedly knelt down to apologize.

After all, Ding Shui mentioned that he knew about it.

"For now, I still have some use for you, so I'll spare your life. Later, lead the knights under your command to burn all these corpses into ashes.

Then step up patrols. I don’t want something like this to happen again, or when something like this happens.

You still do nothing.

Then there would be no need to keep you any longer!"

Ding Shui scolded him a bit and arranged a job for him. Then he turned to look at the housekeeper who was still half-kneeling: "Hansen, you have followed my father for more than 20 years. I won't say anything too harsh. Just remember that there won't be a second time.

I will take my seal to the City Lord's Mansion later and tell the City Lord that those guys who came here this time died of plague and their bodies have been burned to ashes. I will ask the captain of the guards to send someone to send the ashes back to their homes for burial.

As for people calling me a witch.

Don't worry, it doesn't matter!"

Although the Earl of Fuguang was the master of Fuguang City, including the several directly governed towns under it, all of which were her fiefdoms, there were still nobles who were divided into those with real power and those with nominal titles. Some families were prosperous and held real power, and they could firmly grasp all the rights of their fiefdoms, whether it was the power of governance, financial power, or military power.

After all, their family has enough manpower and talents to manage these, but some families with fewer people cannot do so.

For example, the original body's father had only one son and one daughter, and the son died. His previous generation also had only one son and one daughter, and the daughter married out. The only son born was the original body's cousin, who was just burned to death.

There are only so many people at home, what can we do?
To put it bluntly, managing the family assets alone is already quite difficult and requires the assistance of a housekeeper.

The housekeeper may not be able to handle it if he is not capable enough.

How could I have the energy to manage the affairs of my fiefdom?
It just so happened that their family had not made any achievements for many years and their relationship with the king had become quite distant. In order to please the king and ensure that there were no problems with family inheritance.

Therefore, starting from the generation of the original person's grandfather, most of the rights within the fiefdom were simply handed over to the people sent by the king. As long as the treasurer gave them a portion of the fiefdom's tax revenue every year, and the king was not mentally ill, of course he would not disagree.

This gradually became a regular practice.

At the same time, this is also one of the reasons why the original title was able to be applied for so quickly. There are not many nobles who are so easy to talk to and obedient. If it is not preserved, and an ambitious noble is replaced, wouldn’t that be more troublesome?
Although the city lord was sent by the king, he was nominally an official of Dingshui, the Earl of Fuguang, and his power was granted by Dingshui, the owner of the fiefdom.

Regardless of whether this is actually the case.

That's the name anyway.

So Ding Shui had the housekeeper inform him of the matter and let him handle it. As for whether he would obey or not, that was for later. Obedience was best, but if he didn't, there were still ways to deal with him. After all, in this world without supernatural powers, she was the only one currently possessing it. She could just fight back if the enemy came, and block the water with earth.

"Yes!"

The butler agreed repeatedly, and the matter was settled.

After that, Ding Shui of course went straight back to the castle. The butler and the knight commander looked at each other for a while, smiled bitterly, and then hurriedly went about their own business. One was busy burning the corpse into ashes, and the other went to the castle to get the earl's seal. Then, with the seal, he rode on a pony and rushed to the Fuguang City Lord's Mansion not far away.

As for the matter about Ding Shui being a witch.

Ding Shui hadn't been silenced, so some gossip was slowly spreading.

……

Fuguang City, City Lord’s Mansion.

After receiving Hansen, the butler sent by the Earl, and politely seeing him off, the city lord Chris rubbed his brows with a headache, and then called over the consul, the financial officer, and the military officer.

These three are considered his confidants.

If there are any difficulties, we naturally have to call them in to discuss.

As soon as the people arrived, the city lord Chris immediately repeated what the Earl's butler Hansen had just said.

Then Archon Omason said helplessly:
"Isn't this nonsense? Where did the plague come from here? If there was a plague, it wouldn't have killed just those few people. It would have spread far and wide, even causing panic. So what's going on?"

"I do know something about the situation, but I'm not sure whether it's true or not. Would you like to hear it?" said military officer Di Casa.

"Go ahead!" City Lord Chris said hurriedly.

"Seven or eight days ago, my men saw Kalman taking all the elite soldiers in the church and heading to Count Fuguang's castle. Accompanying them was the Count's cousin, Otis.

So what on earth were they going to do?

I think you can guess it."

Although Military Officer Di Casa didn't express himself very clearly, everyone knew what he meant as soon as they heard it.

The next second, Archon Omason frowned and said:

"Is Kalman crazy? Even though Countess Fuguang is a woman, she has inherited the earldom and is a standard aristocrat. Could it be that he still wants to use the same tactics as before to deal with Countess Fuguang and divide her property?"

There are some things that ordinary people at the bottom may not know much about.

Some nobles might not care much about matters that did not concern them, and they would not know much about them. But as consuls, they must be aware of these matters. So Omeissen was very clear about what Kalman, the priest of the local church, was doing behind the scenes.

Some widows whose husbands have died have considerable assets at home. Some orphans have lost both parents, or are left with only a widowed mother, and have no brothers to help them. They also inherit a lot of inheritance. Naturally, they are coveted by their own clansmen or by close relatives with close blood ties.

But just kill them and steal their property.

It is undoubtedly inappropriate.

In order to obtain their property in a more legitimate and legal manner, they tried to collude with the church priest, Kalman. Kalman would accuse the widows or orphans of being witches and burn them to death for purification. After that, their property would naturally go to their own clan or to their closest blood relatives.

They gave a portion to Kalman.

Thank him for helping to purify the witch.

However, although Omeson knew all this, theocracy was now above royal power. At the same time, he had no way to help those people prove that they were not witches. After all, the Holy See had the sole right to interpret whether they were witches or not.

Without wanting to cause trouble for yourself.

O'Meson could only pretend not to see it.

But even so, when he heard that Kalman actually wanted to use these dirty means to deal with a count, he still felt quite shocked and angry.

After all, he is a fallen baron.

Being of the same aristocratic class, they naturally share the same hatred for the enemy.

This is completely different from the previous deaths of ordinary civilians who were slandered as witches and burned to death by Kalman.

"Don't worry, it seems that he has failed and his body is nowhere to be found." The city lord Chris suddenly realized at this time that the person who came to deliver the news was not Kalman saying that Earl Fuguang was a witch and had been burned to death.

Instead, Count Fuguang's steward came and said that Kalman and his group were infected with the plague and all died.

And burned to ashes.

That undoubtedly means that Earl Fuguang won.

As members of the aristocratic class under the royal system, Chris couldn't suppress the smile on his face. After all, except for a few nobles and officials who were brainwashed by the Vatican, the rest of the people were wary of and disgusted with them. It was hard not to be happy when he saw them suffer a setback.

At this time, the military officer also nodded and echoed:

"I thought so too. I didn't expect that Count Fuguang is actually quite capable. A woman, she's more decisive than many men. I really admire her. If it were me, I'd probably find it difficult to kill them so decisively!"

Kalman and his friends didn't make a big deal out of it.

Especially after burning the original body to death and discovering that the original body had inherited the title of earl, they quickly began to keep it secret and prevent the news from spreading. They planned to go back and spend money to smooth things over before announcing it to the public.

That's safer.

In name, Earl Fuguang is still the immediate superior of the city lord and his men, and Earl Fuguang is the master of the entire Fuguang territory. Therefore, Chris and his men are officials, and it is not easy for them to send people to Fuguang Castle to inquire about the situation. So, they really don’t know what Ding Shui did in the castle?
They didn't even know that she had been resurrected from the dead.

At this moment, I just feel that she has extraordinary abilities.

At this point, Treasurer Tark said in distress, "While I'd like to praise Count Fuguang's decisiveness, this isn't so easy to handle. The entire Earldom's church's elite personnel have been annihilated, with the priest and the Knight Commander all contracting the plague and dying. Do you think the higher church will believe this?"

"Why don't you believe it? Didn't the previous Earl of our Floating Light Earldom also die of the plague along with half of the Earl's castle's elite troops? When he left, as many people died as he took with him. And it doesn't make sense that as many elite troops as Kalman took with him from the church also died!

It's a plague, so it's normal for people to die in waves!!"

The city lord Chris is quite sarcastic. He has a good relationship with the previous Earl of Fuguang. At the same time, he sincerely feels that the fact that the previous Earl of Fuguang and all the people he took out were infected with the plague and died is quite suspicious. The matter is handled by a foreign church.

That is the church where they were infected with the plague.

It's a church anyway, isn't it normal to vent your anger and make fun of it?

Archon Omason spread his hands helplessly:

"My Lord City Lord, please stop speaking to us in anger. What I mean is, why don't you ask Earl Fuguang to also report the heavy losses in their castle? That way, both sides will have casualties, and the higher church will have nothing to say.

They could even turn around and say that it was their fault for bringing the plague to Floating Light Castle, which led to deaths in the castle and even Countess Fuguang was almost killed.

By then, the higher church will have nothing to say.

Kalman and the others' bodies have all turned to ashes. Even if the Pope were to come in person, he wouldn't be able to tell from the ashes whether they died of the plague or something else."

No matter what, O'Mesen's position is definitely with the aristocratic class. At this moment, Ding Shui doesn't even need to ask him for help, he is already actively helping and giving advice.

And it sounds good and makes sense!
Anyway, there is no evidence, so let's see who is shameless!

"Hey, that's a good idea. They should even thank us for controlling the plague and preventing it from spreading. Otherwise, the church would be even more guilty."

"As for where the plague on Kalman and the others came from, we don't know. We have to ask them!"

"Let them pray to the gods and ask the Kalman spirit."

"It makes sense, it makes sense!"

"Hahahaha, I can already imagine how ugly the face of the priest sent here must be."

"Then let's send someone to explain this to Earl Fuguang later. We need to communicate. We can't make a decision without Earl Fuguang knowing about it and show our weakness."

"And after this intimidation, I think the newcomer who will take over the position of priest in our Earldom Church in the future will be more restrained and not be so presumptuous. I've long disliked that Kalman."

"Looking at it this way, it's actually a good thing!"

"By the way, the superior church might go to the Earl's Castle for a thorough investigation. We still have to ask Earl Fuguang to be a little more cautious and clean up the mess!"

"The Earl should be quite cautious, so there's no need!"

"It's better to remind you. It won't take any trouble."

"Okay, I'll send someone to inform them right away."
