Chapter 18 Identifying Witches
In Simon's castle, Alison skillfully made foam for everyone, and then stood by the door obediently holding a dinner plate.
During this process, Chitra kept looking at Alison's expression, and then looked at the guard beside her, who also shook his head slightly.
Seeing this, Chitra frowned and turned her gaze to the foam swirling in the teacup. Then she turned away with a hint of disgust on her face and looked at Knight Simon.
"To be honest, I can't believe it at all. The robe your maid wears is definitely enough to buy a war horse in the royal capital, but you, a miserable knight, are willing to give it up?"
"To be honest, I am full of admiration for Alison, and I am willing to give her my heart even if it means giving it to her."
Simon looked at Alison while answering to Chitra. Seeing that Alison didn't have any displeasure on his face, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The lingering power of last night's death is still there.
"I see, I didn't expect that you, Knight Simon, and Baron Salin have the same hobby, and both have a special preference for their maids." Chitra looked at Knight Simon and pretended to be a little sad, "Originally, I planned to pay her to buy it.
."
"You are really good at joking." Knight Simon was startled, and he quickly lowered his head and laughed along with her.
"Well, that means you don't want compensation?" Chitra looked at Knight Simon, "Then you are really generous."
"What do you mean?" Simon looked unkind when he heard this, "I have nothing to compensate you for, a baron from the royal capital."
"Although I come from the royal capital, I came here under the watchful eye of the local nobles. I can't just listen to your words and just expose this matter easily, right?" Chitra didn't care at all about Simon's threatening words. He crossed his legs and said,
He patted the guard next to him on the shoulder and said, "Or is there someone here who can defeat my guard?"
Knight Simon's pupils shrank when he heard this. No one in Simon's territory dared to challenge him. He was very angry, but this was also because of incompetence.
So Knight Simon turned to look at his lord with that humiliating look in his eyes.
When Shalin saw this, he nodded slightly. He looked at Chitra opposite, "Baron Chitra, although I don't want to offend you, I have to say that Simon is my knight. Even if I make any mistakes, I should be responsible for them."
Come to judge.”
"This is the right given to me by the Noble Code!"
Chitra's face suddenly turned ugly when he heard this. He carefully looked at Shalin's face, which was even uglier than his own. After a while, he smiled and said, "Oh, of course, no one will judge your knight, and no one will disrespect the greatness.
Code of Nobility."
"But Baron Sarin, I want to identify the witch."
"Isn't this beautiful maid also your knight?"
"Are you sure?" Shalin narrowed his eyes as he looked at Chitra. There was no difference between identifying a witch and causing trouble for Simon. It was the same thing.
"Baron Sarin has always had a good reputation in the royal capital, and he is also an effective vassal under Earl Ratched. You have sworn allegiance to the Earl, so you will not disobey his instructions, right?" Chitra shook the handwriting issued to him by the Earl.
He shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Don't waste my time. After the appraisal is completed, I can go back and deliver the report."
"Dangdang~"
At this moment, Pastor Peter walked in from the outside. He was holding a cross and a bowl of holy water. His glorious face was extremely holy. He sprinkled some holy water on Chitra and said, "Baron from far away, as the leader of Knight Simon."
Pastor, I can guarantee there is no such thing in the territory.”
"Bang~" Chitra pulled up her hair and stood up, punching Peter to the ground, then kicking and beating him, "How dare you pour dirty water on me, you idiot!"
Everyone with discerning eyes was there watching, and the water Peter sprinkled was indeed holy water, and it did not look dirty at all. This showed that Chitra would not give up today.
Chitra knocked Pastor Peter unconscious with a heavy beating, and then shouted to the unconscious pastor, "If you have any objections, you can write a letter to your bishop to condemn me!"
Simon, who was about to take advantage of the situation to get angry, was unable to reason.
They are beating up the pastor, but even if they pursue the case, it is the church's business.
"Sorry, I wasted a little time just now, but it's not much better. I also ask Knight Simon to call all the women under his rule. Don't hide the number of women. I can ask them." After Chitra finished speaking, he looked at his guards and said, "Haji,
We'll wait outside."
Seeing the two people leaving, Salin, who had always had a gloomy face, looked at Simon and said, "Simon, tell me honestly why you wanted to kill Robert!"
"What are you talking about?" Simon was shocked when he heard this, but he still refused to admit it.
"You sent this witch to kill Robert, do you think I don't know?" Shalin pointed at Alison and growled at Simon, "I even saw the horse Robert bought from me behind your castle!
"
"Okay, sir, I actually picked up those horses. As for the discovery of Robert's body in the woods, I just buried it and haven't reported it yet." Simon tried his best to lie. There were some things he could do, but he absolutely couldn't tell.
"Hey~" Shalin pulled out his sword and put it on Simon's neck. The cold sword made Simon's pupils shrink.
With murderous intent, he felt that Salin really wanted to kill him.
Shalin's heavy breathing echoed in the room. He stared at Simon, who was dripping with cold sweat, until he glanced at Veroni, who was shaking her head slightly, and finally withdrew his sword.
"Keep in mind the virtues of knights." Shalin glanced at Simon, then left with Veroni.
"Pfft~" Simon, who was sweating profusely, knelt on the ground and put his hands on the ground. The huge pressure made him collapse. After a while, he raised his head and stared at Alison fiercely. "Can you survive the witch identification in a while?"
"Simple pain is fine, but if you insult my personality and life, you have to do anything." Alison looked up at the dark space and began to arrange the four people according to their height, shortness, fatness and thinness.
"I will stop you if it comes to that, but don't take action after being whipped. The baron brought people here." Simon stood up and stood up with difficulty, "This is my request."
"I know." Alison looked at the black mark on the back of her hand and shook it towards the knight, "Can you see what's on the back of my hand?"
"Is there anything?" Simon frowned looking at the back of his white hands.
"Nothing." Alison threw away the tray in her hand and walked outside.
When Alison and the weak Simon Knight walked out of the castle, they saw Lina standing there tremblingly, with panic and begging on her face. The faces of the people around her were not very good either. The baron looked at her with a gloomy face.
This was true, including the maids around him, while Chitra and his guards looked at him with curiosity on their faces, as if they were looking at something strange.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Simon's face turned pale. He wondered if the people around him had sold it to him.
"Sorry, I apologize for the misunderstanding before." Chitra saw them approaching and saluted him seriously. Then he raised his head and couldn't help but smile, "Knight Simon, I didn't expect you to treat witches like this.
He was so disgusted that he threw all the women in the territory into the river and drowned in order to find the witch."
"Stupid and cruel Simon, do you want to destroy your territory?" Salin on the side also accused him in disappointment.
However, Simon ignored Sarin and looked at Chitra with an expectant look on his face, "Does that mean there is no need for identification?"
"There are no shortage of these two." Chitra shook his head and immediately ordered the people around him, "Tie up these two people who are being appraised."
"No, no, spare my life! Spare my life!" When Lina saw the guards tying him to the cross, she immediately screamed miserably. The sound was so sad that the listeners cried, and the guards couldn't help but think of their wives and daughters.
His hands stopped involuntarily.
He looked at Chitra with a questioning look. It was rare to see this in the prosperous days of the royal capital.
However, Chitra on the side shook her head slightly, "Witches always use pity to win sympathy, continue."
The guard heard the words and had no choice but to execute it, and because of Lina's struggle, his hands began to use force, which made Simon frown slightly.
Lina was an oversight, and he could only take action when necessary.
Sorry, the last woman in my territory.
As for Alison, sorry, that's not human.
"No! Let me go! Please! I can do whatever you want!" Lina shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice was hoarse, but no one came forward to help.
"Are you a witch?" Chitra turned around and asked, perhaps annoyed by Lina's shouts.
However, what Chitra thought was a gentle greeting was like a devil's whisper in front of Lina. Her face filled with tears kept shaking, "No, I'm not!"
"Waste of time." Chitra looked away dissatisfied.
After tying up Lina, the guard went over and tied up Alison, who was already standing under the cross. Alison looked at the opponent's skilled rope skills and twitched at the corner of her eyes, "Why do you need to tie me up? I can't run away.
