Chapter 361 Choice of Burning Death
"King! Thank you very much for your help! Otherwise it will be difficult for me to deal with this terrible guy alone!"
After the gryphon was decapitated by Wang Zhifan, the demon hunter Renget walked up to the giant eagle's head and looked at it, then thanked Wang Zhifan who had fallen from the sky to the ground.
"Is this guy's body valuable?"
Wang Zhifan focused on the griffon's body and asked this very basic question.
Gate nodded immediately upon hearing this.
"It is very valuable! Especially its eyes, heart and claws, which are all good things that can be sold for at least twenty silver coins!"
"What about its feathers and meat?"
“Feathers can be sold for some money, but they are troublesome to deal with. ...Meat is not so good, because griffon meat is toxic, takes time to process, and doesn’t taste good. Not many people like to eat it.”
After a brief conversation, Wang Zhifan learned about them. This is a small fortune that can solve the financial problem for a period of time.
Gate then offered to let him divide the spoils.
"King, please let me deal with this griffon. I promise to cut off all its valuable parts."
Gate shook off the steel sword in his hand and looked at it. He seemed a little eager to try it out. It was probably rare for him to see such level of trophies.
But Wang Zhifan rejected him, saying that it was not the time yet.
“Don’t cut it yet. It’s not too late to do it after you bring it to the place where the goods are sold. Maybe the price will increase if you sell the whole thing.”
While explaining, he raised his hand and put the body and head of the griffon on the ground into the space ring, which was the Poseidon Meditation Ring that was transformed by the rune elves in the previous copy.
Gate saw him taking away the gryphon in the blink of an eye. A look of shock suddenly appeared on his face, and he let out a heartfelt sigh.
"King, you are definitely a top wizard! I know many witches, but only one of them has a space ring! It is said that there are not many wizards who have the ability to make such a thing."
“You know many witches? What about wizards?”
“I have met two or three wizards, but those people are very arrogant and lonely, and a little person like me has no chance to talk to them. ”
Gate couldn't help but feel a little weird when he mentioned those people's faces.
"Okay, it's time for us to hit the road. After you enter the city, help find a place to deal with the griffin. We will share the money from the sale equally."
"King! You are so generous. Like a wizard!”
A certain demon hunter was immediately moved when he heard that Wang Zhifan had made this decision, which almost meant that his recent financial problems could be solved.
Then the following time, the two of them got on their horses and sped up to their destination, Novi Town.
They did not encounter any unusual situations later, but as they got closer to Novi Town, they quickly encountered more people on the road.
In order to hide his identity, Gate took out a hooded cloak from his saddle bag and put it on. He also added a pair of sexy black eye patches to himself, making him look like a The blind hero forced Wang Zhifan next to him to complain.
"Gate, is it true that dressing like this won't have any side effects? The guards in the town will give priority to interrogating you, right?"
But Gait immediately rejected Wang Zhifan's behavior. idea.
"King, please rest assured. I have been to many cities wearing this outfit. As long as I don't wander around in front of the lackeys of the kingdom, not many people will care. Besides, it is better to be suspected than to be discovered directly. It's better that I'm a witcher... In addition, the witch hunts mentioned by the villagers have indeed become more frequent in recent years, but you should disguise yourself carefully to avoid being discovered."
"I don't care."
Wang Zhifan shook his head immediately after hearing this, thinking that he was already as powerful as a god in this world, so he still cares about witch hunting and kingdoms? Anyone who dares to offend him will be sent directly to the West with one-stop service! Kill as many as you can!
"Okay... I believe you have a way to deal with those people."
Gate didn't object when he saw Wang Zhifan being so arrogant. It should be that he had seen Wang Zhifan's previous strength and methods. Understand that this young man is mysterious and powerful, and is not on the same level as him at all.
In this way, not long after, the disguised demon hunters Gate and Wang Zhifan arrived in Novi Town on horseback.
This is a town that looks more majestic than Wang Zhifan expected. There is a very tall city wall on its periphery. The gate of the city wall is wide and unobstructed. There is no designated person to check the coming and going of people, at least on the surface.
Wang Zhifan and Gate both entered very smoothly and rode horses slowly forward on the gravel-paved streets. On both sides were mostly four- or five-story red brick buildings and various shops. , there are also many tourists, showing a lively and prosperous scene.
"It is indeed a nice city. Before I came here, I thought it was just a bigger village."
At this moment, Wang Zhifan rode a red deer horse and kept looking at both sides of the road. He felt that The evaluation of this world can be improved a bit. Just based on the external image of this Novi town, we can know that the level of civilization development in this world is really not low. The unfriendly villages we encountered when we first arrived were completely useless in comparison. Things that lower the evaluation.
"King, after passing the square in front is the business district of the city. I suggest you go there to deal with the griffins."
The demon hunter Gett, who was walking a little ahead, turned back to remind him.
"Okay... but why are there so many people gathered in the square in front? Are they doing some kind of activity?"
Wang Zhifan followed his guidance and noticed the city square he was about to arrive in front of. The crowd was relatively dense, probably not more than 2,000 people gathered around to watch something, but due to the lack of a wide field of view on the street, they could not clearly see the overall situation in the square.
"I smell the smell of kerosene...could it be..."
Gate's face turned gloomy when he heard what he said, and he urged the old horse on his crotch to speed up a bit. .
The same was true for Wang Zhifan behind him. With his super perceptual ability, he roughly guessed what was happening in the square in front.
A few minutes later, the two of them crossed the intersection and arrived at the city square. Because there were so many people here, they could only stop and watch on the periphery of the crowd, but fortunately they were tall enough on horseback to see clearly the low platform in the center of the square over the large crowd.
It was a platform made of large stone slabs, with two vertical iron frames erected on it. On the iron frames hung two people tightly tied with ropes.
Below the two people, two piles of oil-soaked firewood had been piled into a cone shape. Several fully armed guards were surrounding the stone platform, and some were holding torches ready to light a fire at any time.
Among these people, an older man in black robes was loudly preaching to the crowd, but the sound was difficult to hear because there were too many people in the square and it was noisy.
“They are really burning witches.”
Wang Zhifan saw at a glance that the current activities here were the burning of real people that he had heard about in the original village.
According to his perceptual exploration, the two people about to be burned are relatively young women. There is extraordinary energy in their bodies, but for some reason this energy has been fixed. This is probably The reason why they are currently tied up and about to be burned to death but cannot resist.
While thinking, Wang Zhifan noticed a look of extreme shock on the face of the demon hunter Gett next to him. He actually took off the blindfold he was wearing and looked at the bound person in the distance. He took a careful look at the position, then pulled the hood on his head to cover his face, quickly jumped off the horse and got into the crowd in the square, relying on his tall and strong body to keep pushing through others, trying to get closer Middle position.
"What's wrong with him? Does he like to watch the fun? Or did he discover something?"
This was the first time that Wang Zhifan saw this young demon hunter acting so rude. He thought for a while and did not jump off the horse and follow him. I went up, but secretly released a dream. My clone followed. Relying on the non-physical characteristics of the clone, I could easily reach behind Getter who was struggling to move forward.
Not long after, through the clone's vision, he saw Gett finally squeezing near the central low platform. The demon hunter slightly raised his head covered by the hood, his eyes staring blankly at the hanging person. A woman on the iron frame had disbelief on her face, revealing a kind of despair.
"Elena...you..."
He could only hear him moving his lips with difficulty to say a name, but he suppressed it and did not make a sound because he was afraid of the people around him. The pressure will cause him huge trouble.
At the same time, his body trembled imperceptibly, and several times he wanted to raise his arm and pull out the long sword hidden by the cloak behind his back, but his reason stopped him from doing so.
Because the current environment is too harsh, and with his ability, he cannot change the cruel reality. The only result after being impulsive is to get himself involved.
This feeling made him feel extremely painful for a while, and the muscles on his face were tangled into multiple parts. He wanted to do something, but the reason he had cultivated for a long time prevented him from taking further actions. , as if a hemiplegic patient is struggling with the disease for control of his body.
“It seems that he knows some of the people who are about to be burned to death on the iron frame, and they have a very close relationship, otherwise he would not be so excited... If other people would definitely be desperate at this time He rushed forward to save him, but he did not do so because he knew that he could not save him. With his ability, it was completely impossible to save a person in the hands of so many guards. "
Wang Zhifan was observing Gait's situation through his clone that had sneaked into the crowd, while thinking about the current situation. He did not know exactly what Gait was thinking now, but he could generally guess that he must be trapped in In great pain and despair, under the cruel reality and cold reason, he could only watch the people important to him being burned alive.
"Uh~"
"Uh woo~"
On the iron frame, the two women who felt that they were about to face the ashes of their end tried their best to break free from the shackles around them, but the ropes were tough. It was so terrifying that they couldn't break free at all. What made them even more desperate was that their tongues had been cut off and they were unable to make normal sounds. They could only make death cries that no one could understand like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. A cry for help, then turned into ashes in a futile struggle.
"Dear citizens! I have clearly explained the crimes committed by these two evil witches! I announce that the execution will begin now!"
Under the torture rack, the old man in black robe finally After his lengthy speech, it was time for the actual execution of this public burning at the stake. Through this execution, he would make it clear to the people that the power of the kingdom was extremely powerful and that it was firmly on the side of justice and could seize it without any scruples. Everything about two evil witches.
Of course, evil and other things are additional. In order to preach enough accusations, he made them up for a long time. Even if those poor tongueless people couldn't defend themselves, they still had to make it sound like that to the people below. , there should be no obvious loopholes.
“Light the fire!”
The surrounding captain of the guard immediately gave orders to the two men holding torches. The two men were already standing next to the oiled firewood pile, and now they only needed to light the torches. Throwing them together will ignite two piles of blazing flames at the right time, and everything is done.
The time returned to more than ten seconds ago, and a young man's voice suddenly rang in Gate's ears, which had fallen into despair and numbness.
“Need help? Just do whatever you want and don’t leave a lifetime of regrets.”
"But..."
Gate was not very surprised when he heard Wang Zhifan's voice, because he no longer had the time to think about when Wang Zhifan followed him. He was trying to convince himself that he should do it. Which choice to make.
"Nothing is wrong! What can I do without risk? As long as you dare to do it, I will definitely help you! You make your own choice!"
Wang Zhifan's answer to Gate through his clone seemed to be The last weight fell on the scale, igniting a raging fire in the heart of the already desperate man, and his reckless thoughts of moving forward suddenly overwhelmed his rational will to retreat.
Because he thought of the close past between himself and the tortured person. If he gave up on the other person, it would definitely become a huge shadow that could not be erased in his life. He also thought of the power and mystery that Wang Zhifan showed along the way. With this person's help, maybe we can actually create a miracle.
"Frost Seal!"
The demon hunter Gett, who had made the final decision, took action boldly when the two guards were about to light the fire to the pyre.
He chose to stretch out his left hand and release a frost seal of maximum strength, allowing the cold power to cover the largest area, enough to extinguish two torches at the same time, solving the biggest hidden danger at the moment. At the same time, his right hand also used an astonishing power to Quickly, he drew out the long sword behind him, exerted force under his feet, and pushed his figure away from the crowd in front of him, charging toward the torture rack.
"He actually chose to save two people. Does he know both of them?"
Wang Zhifan was immediately surprised by the character of this demon hunter when he saw this scene. In such a critical moment, He actually knows how to take care of others, which is a rare quality. After all, he was only paying attention to one of the prisoners just now, and didn't have much reaction to the other one.
But even though Gate was fast, the guards around the table in front couldn't slow down much, especially the old man in black robe who had just finished preaching. A disdainful smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Guard! Stop him quickly!"
"Fireball!"
While shouting for the nearby guards to defend themselves, he waved his hand and shot towards Chai. Duo threw two fireballs and made up his mind to complete this fire torture.
