Quick Wear: Random Cheats

Chapter 99: The Burned Earl Witch (11)

St. Mary's Cathedral, Duchy of Dina.

Archbishop Wynes was listening to the reports of the bishops and priests below with considerable doubt. After a moment of silence, he asked in disbelief:
“Are you sure there is a witch who can fly?

He appeared in broad daylight, in public, extinguished the flames on the stake with a wave of his hand, and rescued several witches who were being burned at the stake?

And they all flew away directly.”

The higher up the position in the Vatican, the more one knows the truth about some things. The status of the archbishop is by no means low. One step higher, there is the cardinal who manages all the priests in an entire country. So Waynes actually knew very well that the witch was fake and there was no witch at all.

It is possible that the God of Light does not even exist.

Because of this, he felt that the bishops and priests who came to seek help might have mental problems.

And asked repeatedly in disbelief.

“Yes, Archbishop, I am not sure whether what others say is true, but what I say is absolutely true.

Not only me, but also the Paladin who was in charge of the burning, and all the onlookers, saw it all. Paladin Serling happened to have a bow and arrow, so he fired two arrows. The witch then waved her hand and a flame fell, burning Paladin Serling to death.

"What I said is true. There were at least over a hundred people who witnessed it. However, since we didn't bring bows and arrows, there were no casualties."

After all, they had witnessed it with their own eyes, so their descriptions were quite confident. Archbishop Wynes saw that they didn't seem to be lying, and for a moment, he felt like two villains were fighting in his head. One said, "Believe them. They wouldn't dare lie. It must be true." The other said, "There are no witches in the world. How could such a thing happen? Maybe they accidentally let a witch escape, and they made up nonsense to avoid punishment."

Finally, Waynes could only say that he already knew about it and would send someone to investigate and deal with it, and then he sent away the bishops and priests who came to rescue him.

At the same time, similar incidents occurred in many cathedrals, but some archbishops immediately sent people to investigate, while others were more perfunctory. However, as time went on, even the more perfunctory archbishops became aware of the situation through other channels or news from other churches.

There really are witches out there saving witches.

While they were shocked, they also quickly reported the news. It was estimated that it would not take long for the news to reach the Temple of Light and the Pope's ears. As for how the Pope in the temple would deal with it afterwards, no one knew.

Of course, this is the Vatican's side.

Among the people, various legends and rumors began to boil over. Some said that the witch was preparing to fight back, while others thought that the witch was so arrogant that perhaps another witch hunt should be launched.

However, due to the slow speed of information transmission and the time required to discuss how to respond, the Holy See has not yet come up with a specific method or solution.

Instead, Ding Shui was attacked first.

That’s right, it’s Tavis and the others.

Late at night, in the dead of night, Ding Shui was absorbing the essence of the moonlight at the highest point of the castle, harmonizing the overly strong Yang energy in his body to ensure the balance of Yin and Yang.

There will be no problems such as growing beard and Adam's apple.

Then, of course, he discovered that Tavis and others were sneaking towards the castle. Ding Shui could have taken action at this time, but considering that they did not do anything to actually hurt anyone, Ding Shui did not take action directly. Instead, he stood at the top of the castle and watched quietly.

Be prepared to wait for them to show malicious intent, and then you can take action yourself. Then it will be self-defense!

So the next step is mainly to wait and see.

After about ten minutes, Father Tavis and his group finally arrived at the outskirts of the castle and began to climb the wall with great difficulty, with a very clear purpose.

He went straight to the master bedroom, definitely wanting to find Ding Shui.

Then come the decapitation tactics!

However, their efficiency and wall-climbing skills were truly poor. After nearly half an hour of struggling, they still couldn't successfully climb the castle. Perhaps this was because Ding Shui had kept the castle relatively clean and polished the exterior, making it too smooth. But this couldn't mask their incompetence. They were truly stupid and wicked, and they couldn't even use tools.

Even if there is no grappling hook for climbing walls.

A little awl or chisel can be of some use.

Ding Shui was really anxious and sleepy after watching this. If it weren't for them, Ding Shui would have fallen asleep by now.

But for the sake of self-defense, Ding Shui could only fly back to his bedroom and lie on the bed to wait. After waiting for more than an hour, they finally climbed into Ding Shui's bedroom, and relying on the window that Ding Shui specially opened, they entered very smoothly and chopped Ding Shui with a knife.

Of course Ding Shui is unlikely to be in any trouble.

Even her sheets and bedding were ruined.

And since they had already taken action, and were determined to kill, Ding Shui had no psychological burden to fight back. After a while, the three knights who entered the house first were turned into ashes by Ding Shui's flames.

This purification efficiency is much faster than burning at the stake.

As for those who had not yet climbed up, or those who were waiting for the knights who had already climbed up to pull them up, Ding Shui no longer waited politely as before.

Dozens of vines suddenly sprouted out on the spot, blocking their mouths and dragging them all into his house.

Most of the people in the castle were asleep.

Don't disturb the people.

After that, Ding Shui specially checked Tavis's memory to see how he was going to treat him.

It's just a good opportunity for him to suffer the consequences of his own actions.

As a result, Ding Shui of course started a fire, burning Tavis and all the paladins he brought with him to ashes, and buried the ashes of dozens of people nearby to increase the fertility of the soil.

Complete destruction of corpses.

Because Ding Shui doesn't plan to tell anyone this time.

Anyway, from memory, we can understand that Tavis and his group left Floating Light City secretly and then came back secretly. No one else knew about the process, even the old, weak and sick people who had been guarding the church were kept in the dark.

Since no one knew, Ding Shui was too lazy to cause trouble for himself and just told people that they were infected with the plague in his own castle and let them disappear completely.

It would be easier if they could find neither the living nor the dead. After finishing the work, he also erased or restored all the things they left behind and the traces left on the castle walls. Only then did he feel at ease and changed into a new bed with fresh sheets and bedding, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The next day, Ding Shui woke up as usual, had breakfast, and washed up. The elderly, weak, and disabled people at the church got up to go to work, but after waiting for a long time, they still didn't see Tavis and the others. They went to their residence to look for them but couldn't find them either.

Only then did I realize that they didn't know whether they had left for some reason or were missing, or if there were other circumstances.

Out of not wanting to take responsibility and because I am really worried.

Of course, they quickly went to the City Lord's Mansion to report the case.

I hope the city lord can help find the person.

At this time, the city lord Chris was naturally shocked and hurriedly called the military officer: "Quickly dispatch a hundred guards and go with me to the Floating Light Count Castle. I don't know if we can still make it in time.

Can you please save the Countess of Floating Light? "

That's right, he reacted instantly and felt that Father Tavis might attack overnight to deal with Earl Floating Light and avenge their church. He might even want to kill Earl Dawn to scare the monkeys.

If the other party has returned, then Countess Fuguang probably has no chance of survival at all.

But Tavis and the others haven't returned yet. Maybe the castle's defense is good, and if they get there in time, Earl Fuguang may still have a chance of survival.

So, of course, the next move was for the city lord, Chris, and his military officer, along with a hundred hastily summoned guards, to rush to Floating Light Castle in an attempt to rescue Ding Shui. However, their efforts were doomed to fail. When they arrived at the castle, everything was normal, both inside and outside. Ding Shui even personally received them.

"My Lord Earl, didn't anything happen here last night? No one came to see you?"

Chris asked in a desperate tone.

Logically speaking, the most likely thing Tavis and the others would do is to come here to deal with Earl Fuguang, but how could there be no trace of a fight at all? It's strange!
"No, we were all sleeping normally. We didn't notice anything wrong. Did something happen?" Ding Shui's acting skills were still quite good at this time. The way he didn't know anything and was curious about what happened was quite obvious.

"It's okay, I was just a little worried. I'm glad you're okay. I'm sorry for disturbing you!"

"You're welcome. Even if you just want to chat, I welcome you. You look so tired after all the travel. Haven't you had breakfast yet? I'll ask the cook to make some more. Have breakfast here before you go back."

Ding Shui didn't give Chris and the others any room to refuse. He turned around and gave Hansen a direct order. Hansen immediately left to find the cook and asked her to make a hundred more meals. Chris wanted to look around a bit more, so he didn't refuse and started strolling around.

Then Chris visited the castle and some buildings outside the castle. After the cook prepared breakfast, Ding Shui took him to the dining area.

Because it wasn't Ding Shui who wanted to eat, the cook made something a little simpler, just some sweet and sour meat sauce noodles. But even so, it was still a delicacy that Chris and his friends had never eaten before, and they gobbled it up in big mouthfuls.

In the end, I didn’t feel full.

However, they were obviously too embarrassed to ask for more food, so after eating, they quickly said goodbye and left.

On the way back, Chris discussed with the quartermaster where Father Tavis had gone if he hadn't come to the castle, and why he had disappeared in the middle of the night.

Wouldn't that just cause them trouble?

"You know, it's not just Tavis who's missing. The thirty paladins he brought with him are also missing. Where could they have gone? They didn't even come to the castle to cause trouble."

"Maybe he left earlier because of something."

"But even if they left without informing us, they should have at least told the people in the church. The remaining people in the church were completely unaware of their departure. They didn't leave a letter or a message. I really don't know what he was trying to do. Forget it, never mind. Anyway, this is the Vatican's business and has nothing to do with us.

You can take people to search around later to see if they are really missing and not leaving on their own.

The Vatican sent people to inquire about our situation, and we have an explanation."

"Okay, I'll arrange it when I get back!"

Neither Chris nor his military officers doubted Ding Shui, because they felt that even if the knights under Ding Shui could deal with Tavis and the thirty paladins he brought with him, it would be impossible to destroy them silently, without any movement or damage.

So I didn’t think about it at all.

When they returned to Floating Light City, Chris went directly to the City Lord's Office, while the military officer led a hundred guards, seemingly searching for Father Tavis and his group near Floating Light City, but actually wandering around.

This went on for three days.

Tavis and the thirty paladins still did not show up, so the city lord Chris thought that something might have happened to them. If nothing had happened, how could they just disappear like that? Could they have defected?

Where are you going to defect to?
There was obviously no point in keeping it secret in this situation, so Tavis quickly wrote another official letter, stating the situation truthfully, and sent it by carrier pigeon to the church in the Marquisate, letting them handle it themselves.

Anyway, he is missing, not dead from the plague.

Let the Vatican investigate on its own.

Ding Shui, meanwhile, was not only busy with her nine witches with special powers, but she was also furious. She had discovered that the Vatican was randomly arresting women, labeling them witches, and burning them at the stake. They had also ambushed numerous paladins armed with bows and arrows, intent on hunting down Ding Shui.

This witch is suspected to be able to perform witchcraft.

Upon discovering this, Ding Shui angrily burned to death the over one hundred paladins who had ambushed them. He also gave orders to the remaining nine witches with special powers, telling them to use their special powers to kill any ambushes they encountered.

Since they are already rude.

Ding Shui naturally didn't need to be polite at all.

In just three days, the entire Vatican suffered extremely heavy losses. About a thousand paladins died, and more than twenty priests and bishops also died. The archbishop never showed up, so naturally no one died.

After the news spread.

The Pope was furious and demanded that all church clergy who had seen the witch and survived go to the Temple of Light for investigation and questioning.

At the same time, the major kingdoms were also quite shocked by this incident.

Similarly, after completing the investigation and confirming that the matter is true, do you quickly hold an internal meeting to discuss what to do?
Should we sit on the sidelines and watch, or cooperate with the Vatican?
