Chapter 525: The Witch Trials

After coming out to meet up, Tang Erda looked helplessly at Mu Sicheng, frantically stifling a laugh, while Bai Liu calmly turned his head away from him, embarrassed and embarrassed: "Is ...... really that funny?"

"It's okay." Bai Liu slapped Mu Sicheng on the head, "Stop laughing and get down to business."

Mu Sicheng couldn't hold back his laughter at Bai Liu's punch, holding his stomach and laughing so hard that tears came out of his eyes: "You actually have an E cup! Hahahahahaha!!!"

Tang Erda: "......"

Bai Liu: "......" - as the leader of the team, he stifled his laughter.

"Captain Tang has wide shoulders and a wide back, so she can only wear this size, and it has nothing to do with the size of her breasts." Bai Liu calmly relieved Tang Erda, whose face was about to go up in smoke.

Mu Sicheng didn't relent, he suddenly pulled Tang Erda's collar open and looked inside before pointing righteously at Tang Erda and saying to Bai Liu, "But he doesn't have an empty glass! It's almost full!"

Tang Erda: "......"

Bai Liu: "......" You know Mu Sicheng.

And leave Tang Erda alone, he's an honest man, he can't take it anymore.

"Go find Muke." Bai Liu changed the subject quickly, "He should be over there."

Muke soon joined them, and it must be said that Muke looked the least out of place in women's clothing, wearing a very simple top and skirt, and with short hair, he looked very clean.

"Have you searched for Jiayi?" Muke's expression was grave, "If players can have a witch's heart, then this game is probably a tower defence game, where one of the two Team Fangwu has a witch's heart, and we're fighting each other for the witch's heart against Team Fangwu, and it's likely that Jiayi has the witch's heart on our team. "

--He made the same judgement as Bai Liu.

" Jiayi's login point shouldn't be here." Bai Liu's tone was light, "She's too young to meet the group's criteria for screening for a reserve witch."

"And where would she be?" Muke frowned.

Bai Liu looked up, and he smiled, "If I'm right, the game should land Jiayi in the Witch Zone."

"Because she's already a witch."

Muke was stunned, then quickly responded, "Jiayi is in the eastern contaminated zone!"

Eastern contaminated area.

Liu Jiayi's eyelids fluttered and she was just about to open her eyes when she became aware of the many people around her looking at her closely and held still.

"She's finally awake!"

"Who put her in the contaminated area?"

"Is she an eel-tainted child? My God, she's so young! Didn't those heartless ecclesiastical men make rules that said they couldn't let girls under fourteen swallow eels!"

"And you believe in the rules they make?! Just a bunch of animals!"

A majestic yet gentle female voice came over, "Bring her over here and carry her over here for the doctor to see what's going on."

Liu Jiayi felt herself being gently picked up, and a man, presumably a doctor, did some checks on her, before taking a long breath and reporting back to the lady with the imposing voice: " Baola, she's fine, she just passed out and there are no visible signs of contamination on her body."

The woman named Baola paused, "Not tainted as a witch, then when she wakes up, if she doesn't want to stay and wants to go back, then send her away."

At these words, the whole room was silent for a moment, and then everyone said very low and softly, as if in some despair, "Yes."

A young female voice retorted indignantly and somewhat aggressively, " Baola, why send her back? Is it any good there!"

"She was all abandoned from there and sent back, should she grow up there until she is fourteen and then be reduced to an eel digester for those men of the Church!"

"Can't we just let her stay here and be raised as a witch by us?"

Baola's voice was calm: "Not every girl wants to be a witch, You Zhen."

These words were like a spark that ignited a furious You Zhen, who shouted with anger and rage: "What's wrong with being a witch? Why can't I be a witch? Is a witch some kind of lowly thing? Everyone here is a witch!"

"After being oppressed like that, why do you still yearn for that filthy safe haven and why do you still loathe being a witch?!"

"And did you become a witch by choice?" Baola's voice was still as soft as water, "Did any of us here, become witches by choice?"

You Zhen's voice came to a screeching halt, then she slowly sobbed and cried, "...... is not."

-- There is not a single girl here who would not have run away to become a witch here in the contaminated area if she had not been driven to the end of her rope and driven to desperation.

Baola did, and so did she, and they were both made to be witches.

"We were all forced to become witches by the Church." Baola says, "So I hope that at least here, when a child chooses her own life, we won't force her to become a witch."

"- I want to give them the freedom to choose for themselves what kind of person they want to be."

"Whether she chooses to be a witch, or not."

"Let a child choose for herself ......" You Zhen slowly dropped to her knees, her face covered in tears as she asked in a bit of a trance, "Would any child really choose a witch, yearn for a witch, yearn for us tainted, never to have way back to the safety of the monsters?"

"How can they want to be the dirty witches we are judged to be, when they grew up in a safe zone? They would only aspire to be holy nuns in the Order, controlled by those men! Instead of letting them go back and be wrongly induced to become nuns, we should force them to become witches and become our fighting force!"

You Zhen's voice became lower and lower, more and more full of hate.

" You Zhen ." Baola whispered, "Our first witch code, what is it?"

You Zhen's voice stopped again, she took a deep breath and let it out again slowly and shakily.

"Witch Code #1: Witches never judge witches."

"-whether she is already a witch or a reserve witch."

"With the whole world contaminated, the day the contamination is not addressed, any girl in the safe zone could end up as a witch, whether she aspires to be a nun or not, they are classified in our eyes as a reserve witch." Baola said softly, "There is no tribunal in the Witch Quarter, and we never judge witches."

" You Zhen, the second rule of the witch code, what is it?" Baola asked again, softly.

You Zhen closed her eyes and her voice calmed down: "Second rule of the witch's code: all those who persecute me will die by my hand."

"What we want to kill, what we hate, is the person who is persecuting us at this moment, and hatred and the desire to kill are precious emotions that we cannot let spread, it only makes it unsharp."

Baola came down and patted You Zhen on the shoulder, her tone steady: "Witches are not unworthy of aspiration."

"Witches are our weapons."

"In a chaotic environment, powerful weapons are both desirable and feared, and the children in the safe zone yearn for the nun because they are afraid they won't be able to hold the weapon, that it will cut them."

"-for the men of the Church will teach them from childhood, according to the doctrine, that you should not then hold weapons, and that you who hold them are a sin, and that we will punish you severely until you lay them down, and that you who get them will lose badly, and that only you who lay them down will gain more."

You Zhen's eyes filled with tears again as she choked back tears and asked, "So what should we, what should we do to make them yearn for witches and choose them?"

Baola laughed, "Holding the weapon for them, of course."

"Let them see how strong, how sharp, how invincible we are when we hold our weapons, completely unstoppable and incomparable to the men of the Church."

Liu Jiayi finally opened her eyes and saw Baola in the sunlight.

This woman, dressed in a witch's robe with a very smart knight's costume underneath, carrying a cowhide bow and arrow pouch with a bundle of feathers and arrows, appears to be a half-breed, with purple eyes, a darker profile and a large bone structure, so she is taller than You Zhen next to her, and wears a tall witch's peaked cap so crookedly on her head that it feels like it will fall off at any moment and is already This makes the image of her solemnly tapping You Zhen on the shoulder look a little comical.

You Zhen raised her hand somewhat helplessly, and somewhat amusedly, to signal her, " Baola, the hat, the hat is coming off."

Baola blushed a little and then fumbled with it, complaining in a small voice of distress as she put it on, "Eh, this witch's hat, it's a bit hard to put on, why does a witch have to wear this?"

" Baola!" The doctor called out to her in surprise, "This child is awake!"

Baola jerked her head over - this time the witch's hat was completely askew on the back - and her eyes lit up, "Awake?"

Liu Jiayi then watched as the seemingly somewhat maharajah witch leader quickly and pretentiously straightened herself out again, walked up to her with a calm and elegant face, and extended her hand with a smile.

"Hello, I'm Baola, the head of the witch district."

"Welcome to the Witch Quarter."

Liu Jiayi is a stunningly beautiful witch in charge. She looks to be in her thirties, but what is more impressive than her beauty is that she is compatible, calm and collected, as if nothing can defeat her.

She seems to have a very strong sense of stability that is intimidating.

--A natural leader.

Liu Jiayi quickly defined it in her mind, and instead of putting on that soft face to deceive the other woman, she extended her hand to shake Baola's in a very proper way: "Hello."

Baola laughed: "Do you want to go back?"

--Instead of asking Liu Jiayi how she came to be here, she just threw out the question, "Do you want to go back?

Liu Jiayi gave an exclamatory tsk in his mind - clever question.

Having just listened to that, she thought that this Baola was really a very righteous type, but now it seems that it is not quite so.

Wherever Liu Jiayi is from, the fact that she is in the Witch Quarter means that she was most likely abandoned, in which case, no matter how much she yearns for the safe zone, Baola's direct question to you about going back will only be answered in one way - that is, no.

For a normal little girl would have been afraid at this time - a state of stress that would have overwhelmed the fear of the witch.

"But this side of the witch district only takes in witches." Baola enquired gently, "You're staying here, so would you like to become a witch?"

"-a witch like me."

Everyone looked at Liu Jiayi with anticipation, waiting for her answer.

"No." Liu Jiayi replied.

Everyone's eyes dimmed for a moment, even Baola couldn't help but sigh - there was no way out after all, the Papal brainwashing had been too successful.

"I don't have to be a witch." Liu Jiayi smiled a little mischievously as she looked up, "Because I'm already a witch."

Baola was stunned, and before she knew it, the witches around her were all cheering.

You Zhen took Liu Jiayi straight down and gave her a big hug, and she was so happy she was on the verge of tears.

"As soon as I saw you I thought you were a sight for sore eyes! I knew you'd pick the witch!"

" Baola!" Someone in a witch's costume rushed in, an anxious look on her face, "The Order is sending an attack on the border of the Eastern Contamination! Many of them are newborn witches over there, and they are still very vulnerable!"

The corners of Baola's lips, which had been curled a little, quickly straightened as she turned her head and calmly gave the order, "We're going over to the support now."

"But there's a raid on the trial court today." The witch reported anxiously, "There are 352 witch trials being held today in the 82 tribunals of the safe zone, and our original plan was to rob the court!"

"If Baola you go to reinforce the borderline, we won't have enough men to rob all the courts today!"

"Once they are accused in court of being witches, these girls will be burned alive in court!"

Baola's hand clenched momentarily, her face turned sullen for a moment, but she quickly calmed down, "Split up into two teams, I'll take a small force of witches to gallop to the borderline, the rest of us will rob the court."

"No, Baola!" The witch who reported was also anxious, "The Order is using heavy firepower on the frontier, they're besieged! It's dangerous for you to go there with a small force!"

"I'm better than them, I'll be fine." Baola tapped the witch who had come to report on her shoulder, her tone calm and collected, "Move out."

"Wait." Liu Jiayi slowly raised her hand and she smiled, "Can I go with you to the galloping border?"

You Zhen, who was holding her, immediately interrupted her with a shriek, "What foolishness are you talking about! You're not even tainted and don't have the strength to fight the Papacy ......"

"Zee...!!!"

Liu Jiayi pulls out a can of poison, tosses it up lightly and flips it around, aiming a spray at the clearing.

Large traces of asphalt-like corrosion appeared on the ground, and the otherwise solid ground melted away completely.

You Zhen closed his mouth in dumbfounded silence.

Baola looked at Jiayi steadily for a moment before her eyes curled into a smile and she extended her hand, her tone becoming more solemn, "You are officially welcome to the Witch District."

"Come along!"

Liu Jiayi jumped out of You Zhen's arms and she trotted after her. You Zhen looked at her empty arms in a trance and swallowed hard, saying dully.

"Are all the newborn witches so good now?"

"What the hell!" A witch next to her was excited and slapped You Zhen hard on the back, "Good for us!"

"Go, go and rob the court!"

"It's not just robbing the court, there's a lot of work today." You Zhen sighed helplessly, but with a smile on her face, "The Order has brought in another batch of reserve witches today, and we have to go over and rob the warehouse."

In the meantime, prepare the witch picking warehouse.

Bai Liu and three other people received three messages from Liu Jiayi.

[Auxiliary to the Court of Robbery.]

[Don't lie to the witch, surrender.]

[Tactician access to me.]

Mu Sicheng, full of questions, asked Bai Liu in confusion: " Jiayi, what does this mean?"

Bai Liu gave the two messages a calm glance and looked up at everyone, "You all know that Jiayi has been the other tactician for our team, right? Her judgement is on par with mine, and when I die or lose my judgement in the game, she will take over my Tactician privileges and become your Tactician."

--Bai Liu had told them this many times, and all of them nodded a little.

"But there's another situation where she's also our tactician - and that's when she judges that this copy of her tactical ability takes precedence over mine, and when she's more of a tactician, I'll give her tactician privileges directly."

"In this copy, despite my lack of death and loss of judgement, my judgement and access to information has been far superior to hers." Bai Liu looked at everyone in a calm tone, "She is the one who is fit to formulate tactics in this game, so I have decided to transfer the tactician position in this copy to her."

"Next, Jiayi is our tactician and I'm just a control position, a player who follows her orders, got it?"

Everyone was quiet for a moment, then quickly, "Yes!"

[System Alert: Does player Bai Liu transfer his tactician privileges to player Liu Jiayi?

[Once the transfer is successful, Tactician privileges will never be transferred to you again in this game, so please consider carefully!

[OK.]

Ornamental pool.

The crowd erupted when they saw the Tactician logo on Bai Liu's head disappear and then appear on Liu Jiayi's head, with the audience whispering and discussing.

"What's this about? Letting a little girl take tactician privileges?"

" Bai Liu, are you crazy? This is a sure loser!"

"Fuck, I'm glad I didn't bet on him! Otherwise I would have lost money!"

"Tch, playing house, gone gone gone, not watching, wait for the playoffs, it's definitely Kings Crown in the playoffs."

The presenter also exclaimed, "Oh my God, what do I see?!"

"I have to say that the Tactician of the Roving Circus, oh, it's not a Tactician anymore, the Captain is really quite a mess!"

"In all the time I've been officiating, this is the first time I've seen a sudden transfer of tactician privileges within a game... is he Buming White how much harm this sudden tactician switch could do to the team?"

The host tsked twice, "It seems that the opportunity for the Drill Hole to come to the challenge was too easily won to be cherished by our circus captain and just wasted."

"For the little witch? Haha, all I can say is very thoughtful, this is probably the youngest tactician within the league as of now, right?"

Wang Shun, who was sitting on the bench, had to say he was in a real cold sweat when he saw Bai Liu hand over the tactician's authority without hesitation.

Although Bai Liu is right, Liu Jiayi is a very strong tactician - she was trained by Hearts as a successor, the next generation of tacticians, at the King's Crown, and is indeed astonishingly good.

But this is Liu Jiayi's first league game! She's completely new to the league, not to mention a tactician! And it's the same Hearts who nurtured her tactical style!

The odds of winning this are too slim any way you look at it!

This is still their last chance at the challenge! If they lose, they're really screwed! Bai Liu just gave away his tactician privileges! This is the most important position in a match! It's the most important position in a match!

As soon as Liu Jiayi asked for it, Bai Liu gave it out without even giving it a second thought, he was too bold!

Wang Shun's heart clenched as he watched the continuously low support and betting rates on the system panel. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a towel and took two deep breaths, barely calming down his emotions before he dared to continue looking up at the game screen on the big screen.

He was now completely unable to think about how the game would go.

I don't believe any of the other spectators could have thought or guessed where this game was going.

--because no one understands, the little witch's tactical style.

This is the first time she has played as a tactician in the league.

Wang Shun looks at Liu Jiayi on the game screen and slowly clenches his hand into a fist.

Come on little witch.

The game is on the borderline of the eastern contaminated area.

The Papists were armed with all sorts of weapons, and the man at the head of the group stood on the armoured car and hissed at the top of his voice, holding up a microphone: "Everyone must pay attention! Witches are a thing! It's like the Seven Star Eel, when they are particularly alienated, they are no better than sword, spear, water or fire!"

"They possess some of the traits of the Seven Star Eels, and some have mutated with evil abilities!"

"But, they are human after all! Despite possessing some of the traits and various superpowers of the Seven Star Eels, there are nevertheless areas of their bodies that are just as vulnerable as humans! As long as we keep attacking! They will bleed and get hurt too, and then one day they will perish!"

"Attack!"

With a command, the borderline was dipped into the intense cannon fire and someone came forward and worriedly asked the bishop who stood at the highest point looking into the distance with his telescope raised and commanding someone: "My Lord Bishop, as you said, the witches are powerful and our weapons are not always able to kill them."

"No, our weapons will surely kill them." A wicked smile appeared on the Bishop's face, "For these weapons, they are forged from the bones of the Seven Star Eels."

The man asked back in surprise, "A weapon forged from the bones of a seven-star eel?!"

"It doesn't hurt to tell you." This bishop waved his hand carelessly, "We've been preparing this plan for over ten years, and it's about to go into mass production."

"The bones of the Seven Star Eel are a very strong raw material for weapons, and the bones left over after all the women have dissolved the Seven Star Eel over the years have been collected and used to forge weapons."

"It was one of those weapons that was used in this attack on the Witch Quarter."

The bishop looked sorrowfully across the polluted area to the east, his expression one of unconcealed triumph.

"As strong as they are, they are at best the tier of the Seven Star Eels, after all, they have their powers bestowed upon them by the Seven Star Eels, but they are definitely not stronger than the bones of the Seven Star Eels - that is the hardest part of the Seven Star Eels' body that even a witch cannot dissolve."

" Quan Baola ...... " the man mentioned the name with care and reverence, " she was so tough, broke through our lines several times, blew up so many inquisition courts, and she had no way to fight this weapon? "

"There's no way out." The Bishop looked up arrogantly at Quan Baola, who had stepped out of the contaminated area, with a strange light in his eyes, "As long as a witch is a witch, there is no way she can stand against this weapon."

"- and Quan Baola is no exception."

The moment Quan Baola stepped out of the line of battle in the contaminated area, the Bishop raised his hand and stopped his attack, looking at Quan Baola from a distance, his tone changing from one of venom to one of compassion as he folded his arms in front of him in a gesture of prayer.

" Baola, for the sake of your having been our Holy Virgin, and for the sake of all the witches who have contributed to us, God is generous and merciful, and He has instructed me to give you, and all the witches, one last chance-"

"-that is, you choose to submit to us, and we will judge all of you in the gentlest way possible."

Quan Baola's purple eyes were icy cold as she asked rhetorically, "Like fire?"

"Though it is not gentle." The bishop stated gently, "but if you wish, we will judge you in the way you like."

Quan Baola barely paused to draw back a bow and arrow, put it on the string, drew it up and aimed it at the bishop, whose eyes were fixed on her, but whose words were not addressed to him.

"The third rule of the Witch's Code -"

The bishop looked at Quan Baola, who had aimed his bow at him, and his eyes instantly went cold: "It seems that you will not submit."

"It may not be until the moment of your death that you will understand that witches can never defeat the Papacy - what you have been doing all this time is useless."

As he spoke, the bishop raised his hand and behind him slowly rose countless huge longbows, which were densely lined with rows of small, sharp arrows forged from the bones of seven-starred eels.

"It's still a bit rough, though." The Bishop smiled grimly, "but it is enough to kill you eel swallowing grown monsters!"

At the same moment, behind Quan Baola were all the witches with their bows drawn, their eyes unstoppable, repeating Quan Baola's words with one voice, as if they were solemnly proclaiming some call to war.

"The third rule of the Witch's Code -"

"Whatever judges me hitherto has not been able to make me perish -"

"- shall be weaker than me!"

Both sides released their bows and arrows at the same time.

Bows and arrows streaked through the air, and the witches dodged deftly, continually up-bowing and then shooting again, but the opponent's extended line of standing fire could do no damage to them - they had very tough outer skins that bullets could not penetrate.

But the Bishop's side was rapidly taking a large number of casualties from these witches who were shooting with uncanny strength, accuracy and speed of movement.

The bishop's gaze grew darker as he suddenly grabbed an archer next to him by the collar and growled, pointing across to Quan Baola, who was standing at the top, and shouted, "Aim at Quan Baola!"

"Aim at Quan Baola, all of you! If she dies, this rabble will disperse!"

All the bows and arrows were instantly gathered and aimed in unison at Quan Baola.

Quan Baola was hit in the right shoulder, which burst into a spray of blood, and her bow was jolted out of her hand.

The pupils of several witches around her flinched and cried out in unison.

" Baola!"

"What is this thing! Why can it penetrate our protection!"

"Don't mind me." Quan Baola gasped for a moment as she drew her bone arrow with one hand, her purple eyes calm and collected, "It's good that this weapon concentrates me, it won't extend the damage, make it quick."

" Baola !!!" A witch's voice even sounded a little harsh next to her, "Look out!!!"

Another wave of white seven-star eel bone arrows is aimed at Quan Baola.

Quan Baola lifted her shot shoulder, her cheek stained with blood, and with a crisp movement she drew all the arrows from the pouch behind her back, her purple eyes lit up alarmingly as she gazed at the incoming bows: "Sorcery - Ten Thousand Arrows!"

In a flash, the arrow expands into a million shimmering purple sticks in her hand, and Quan Baola pulls it full and lets go without hesitation.

Purple arrows flew out and all the Seven Star Eel Bone arrows were intercepted point for point in the air by Quan Baola's bow and collided with each other and fell to the ground.

But the bishop there, almost in a rage, snatched a single arrow and aimed it at Quan Baola's heart: "Death to you!"

Quan Baola's arrow was already empty, and it came so suddenly that it reached Quan Baola almost in the blink of an eye.

Without hesitation, a witch next to her ran forward and hugged Quan Baola, her spine trembling as she stood in front of him.

She was waiting for the arrow of bone from the Papacy to be shot into her heart and put to death as if it were a trial.

A black poisonous mist rose up in front of Quan Baola, and the arrow was corrupted the moment it entered.

The swampy mud expanded beneath the feet of the Papal group, and someone was horrified by the erosion, letting out a guttural scream, but soon the organ from which he could have screamed was also eroded.

The Bishop practically shit himself as he climbed down from the foremost chariot, stomping back in horror as he looked at the corroded seven-star eel-bone forged weapons in the spreading swamp on the ground and screamed in a broken voice, "What is this thing!"

"It can actually corrode even seven-star eel bones!"

As the poisonous mist cleared, Liu Jiayi stepped in front of Quan Baola with a cold frown, raising her eyebrows in displeasure before smiling suddenly and sweetly at the festering clerical men.

"Just a simple little bit of witch's poison."

"Stupid bastards."

The bishop looked at Liu Jiayi, who had suddenly appeared, as if he had seen something unbelievable: "Who are you? Where are you a dirty witch who has defected?"

"Defection?" Liu Jiayi tsked, the sweet smile on her face disappearing for a second, and said unpleasantly, "I don't like that description."

Quan Baola stood up propped up on Liu Jiayi's shoulders, she smiled and slowly drew up her bow, aiming its head at the head of the bishop who kept shaking his head in horror, the smile on her face becoming sober as she said without skipping a beat, "I don't like that description either."

"She is not a dirty witch who has defected."

"She is a precious witch we have found by chance."

Quan Baola let go of the arrow with a blazing gaze, the wind rushing out of it swirling through her long hair.

She shot an arrow through the bishop's skull.
