Witch trials

Liu Jiayi captures the key word: "Witch's Heart?"

"You mustn't listen to Baola about this." The witch next to her advised bitterly, "It's just a legendary item that is said to destroy all the protections the Order has against us, but it's not even known to exist, and no one has ever seen this thing, we're not going to pin our hopes on it!"

"But I think the [Witch's Heart] that can overcome everything must exist." All Baola's eyes were firm as she smiled and said as if joking, "I was hailed as the [First Witch] by that group of people from the Holy See, what if the [Witch's Heart] is in me?"

The witch looked warningly at Quan Baola: "Baola!"

All Baola throws up his hands in the air like a surrender and whispers, "Okay, okay, I know you don't like it, I'll stop."

Meanwhile, Liu Jiayi looked at his refreshed system panel:

[System Alert: Congratulations to player Liu Jiayi for obtaining the key information - if (Witch's Heart) is obtained.]

Only when a witch's soul leaves her body after her death can the heart be called a witch's heart, which can break the protection of all the members of the Church.

Liu Jiayi's eyes narrowed a bit - this description ......

Doesn't that mean they have to kill the witch to get each other's hearts?

"Baola!" You Zhen's voice came from far away, a little excited, "We're back!"

Quan Baola turned her head, confirming with her eyes that everyone was back before breaking into a grin, "Looks like everyone showed up in a big way this time."

"Of course!" You Zhen smiled proudly, eyes sparkling, "We brought back all the tried witches this time! Not a single one!"

All Baola looks to Leah next to him, "What about the families? Did you bring them back?"

Leah and You Zhen both went eerily silent in unison for a moment; they'd saved the men before but basically never brought them this way to the Witches' Quarter, basically saving them and running away, but every time Baola had asked.

Seeing their expressions, Quan Baola was helpless and in tears, she sighed, "Did you leave them outside the courtroom again?"

"I'll make a trip down later to bring the people back and take them to the Witches Asylum, they're victims of the Order as well, there's no need to take it out on them." All Baola paused, "Many are still children, only a few years old, you shouldn't do this."

Many of the males who were tried were [sons of witches], one foot their mothers were tried, executed or defected after being declared witches by the Church, and the next foot they were, and these children were basically no more than fifteen years old.

You Zhen whispered in his defense, "...... Usually kids we still bring back."

They all know how Baola was tried in the first place, and Baola's children are all still being treated as [the children of witches] and confined to the Island in the Sky as the queens of ...... that group.

So You Zhen, no matter how much she disliked men, when she saw these tried, young [Witch's Children], she couldn't help but think of the infant who was tried by the priest who had slandered her for having a [Witch's Heart] and went out to save them and bring them back.

--because without bringing it back, who knows if these children will also be taken up to the Sky City because of their overly beautiful appearance, or for some other reason.

"But why not this time?" All Baola inquired softly.

You Zhen paused for a moment, she and Leah locked eyes and took a deep breath before speaking, "Because there's a strange organization that takes them in, and I think they're the more appropriate place to take in males on trial."

"A strange organization?" Quan Baola frowned slightly, "What organization?"

Leah and You Zhen told Quan Baola everything, and Quan Baola realized something almost instantly as she turned her head to look behind her, at Liu Jiayi, whose eyes were wandering, and intoned, "So this is the male of the other country you were talking about, who could be used as another entry point?"

Liu Jiayi forced herself to resist the urge to cover her face and gave a very hard hmmm.

...... admit it's really embarrassing to know such a strange group of men.

"You know these men?!" You Zhen looked in shock at Liu Jiayi, who also reacted quickly and asked incredulously, "You wouldn't be the witch who healed him that guy said was willing to slay a god for you, would you?!"

Liu Jiayi pursed her lips and nodded a little, "If he didn't know any other witches, it would have said me."

You Zhen scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, "Eh, is it someone you know? Let me know earlier ......"

She'd been so good at targeting them, and ended up throwing those men at them and ferreting them away.

"No need." Liu Jiayi lifted her head, her tone calm, "If they can't even make peace with you and do a good job of assisting the witches, there's no need for you to treat them with special kindness for my sake."

"They don't deserve your kindness if they can't even show this much sincerity."

You Zhen flinched for a moment, and the full Baola looked at Liu Jiayi with a twinkle in her eye, which led to a genuine smile, and she turned her head to Jiayi, holding out her hand in a cooperative manner, "Can I meet them?"

Liu Jiayi held out his hand and shook it haughtily with Quan Baola, "They are at your disposal if you wish."

Full Baola winked as she smiled a little, "I hope we work well together then."

Liu Jiayi let out a long breath in his heart - finally he was willing to meet Bai Liu and the others.

When she proposed it earlier, although All Baola had said that she would consider it, it was obviously a very backward option to consider - this seemingly gentle and good-natured Head Witch was in fact thoughtful and vigilant, her mind was very clear, and before she had dealt with the relationship between this group of judged males and the witches, she would definitely not easily open the door to letting men into the witch district.

It also means she won't just accept a bunch of exotic males from unknown sources to help her.

But now You Zhen's attitude has made All Baola reconsider the matter - as a third-party organization that strays outside of the Witches' zone, the group also has the ability to protect younger victims like the Sons of the Witches on trial, better place other men in safe zones, train them to have the ability to defend themselves, and at the same time exists as a support for them to clean up their Inquisition teammates inside and out, and because it's only a support position, even if this group backfires when the Witches attack, it won't hurt the Witches in a big way.

It solved all the current problems perfectly and had already been implemented once and seemed to be working quite well - a tactic she'd developed in the beginning.

But she was also prepared for the possibility that the tactics wouldn't work, as she wasn't sure how well Bai Liu and the witch team would work together and if she would be able to successfully impress the other side.

Liu Jiayi couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth a bit as he watched Quan Baola's back as he turned to continue his discussion.

But so far, it looks like it's not doing too badly, these strange men.

At the same moment, the oddly shaped group of men were sitting in a sad huddle.

They got them to clean out an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the last trial court, cleaned out all the eels in it all over again, and then housed the men and children who had been rescued from the trial court today here in the warehouse, and were about to get ready for a break.

By all accounts, this is a relatively easy process that wouldn't cause Mu Sicheng to let out a crashing cry for help, "Bai Liu, what am I going to do! You have to help me!"

Bai Liu rolled his eyes to look at him, "No what to do."

"But I really don't know how to bring up a child!!!" Mu Sicheng is really freaking out, in his arms is a small child who looks to be four or five years old and is now buried in his arms, grabbing his hair and wailing, "Mommy! I want mommy! Didn't you guys say you'd get a mommy if you came with you!"

"Where's my mom!"

Mu Sicheng was going crazy, his brain buzzing and vibrating from all the crying: "There will be a mother! I will find your mom! Will you stop crying!"

Yes, that's right, they're both with child.

These from the trial court was rescued from the [sons of witches] there are six, the largest is only six years old, there are two only two years old, the road are not stable to walk on the trial court, simply do not understand, the judge with a kind of coaxing tone to ask these [sons of witches] is to choose the Holy See or to choose your dirty and sinful witches mother, all the little children are in the court on the defendant's seat bawled out:

"I want mommy!"

"You're bad people! You took Mommy away! You give Mommy back!"

And so the trial process for small children was unusually simple and quick, and unless the father next to them sternly asked them to change their statements, almost all of the children were pronounced [sons of witches] in court, and were sentenced to work as lowly drudges and brought up as if they were slaves in this kingdom.

Tang Er hit a hand holding a small child of two years old rocking from side to side, these two small children tired of crying, fell asleep in his arms, grabbed his collar mouth in a dreamy whisper sobbing, eyes red.

"Really animal." Tang Er beat his face with a grave and cold face, but his words came out softly, as if he was afraid of waking up these children, "To actually try such a small child, and to use torture."

There were two girls among these seven children, one four years old and one six years old, and when they came to court, these two little girls, probably because they had witnessed the trial of their mother, were both very resistant to and afraid of the Holy See, and when they came to court they began to cry, and they very strongly refused the bishop's request to join the Holy See in order to be cleansed of filth and were not willing to drink the holy water in order to testify against themselves, and finally they were declared [guilty] by the whole jury.

Instead of being pronounced [sons of witches], they are directly [witches], saying that evil witches came to earth with the help of their tainted mothers, and that they have not yet awakened the witch consciousness just yet, and that they are to be burned with holy fire in court, or that they are to be identified.

Now these two girls, one lying on Bai Liu's back, with her head tilted against Bai Liu's shoulder, and the other lying in Bai Liu's arms, being gently patted on the back by Bai Liu, insecurely curled up into a small ball, with their arms and legs gently twitching, and with a little bit of ash left over from the fire on their faces, they also slept with their eyes dimmed with tears.

Bai Liu looked down at the stains on this little girl's face and gently wiped her clean with his sleeve.

Mu Ke only brought one, but this child was quite quiet, only sleeping very uneasily, waking up every now and then to cry a little, and then drifting off again to sleep with Mu Ke clinging to him, he had been a little heartbroken and complex-eyed towards the child, and when he heard Mu Sicheng's agonized plea for help to look up, he couldn't help but say in amusement, "Don't quarrel with him, he's now is just scared and will sleep when he is tired of crying."

Mu Sicheng is also going to be teary eyed, he was hung by the neck of that energetic little boy, riding on the back of the loud crying and wailing to find a mother to find a father, almost choking to look at a quiet Bai Liu and Tang Er fight: "You ...... why bring children so skillful ah?"
