Chapter 3 Burning at the Burning
There are few entertainment methods in this world, or there are few entertainment methods for civilians. After nightfall, they all sleep at home obediently.
Usually, there is a curfew in Luoya City. Except for church monks and special personnel such as the defense army, no one is allowed to go out after nightfall.
Of course, there are a few exceptions, such as some special festivals or when the stolen sentence is executed, which is open to ordinary people at night. Most people smell the aroma of barbecue in various senses and roam in nearby neighborhoods.
After Adam finished picking up the water, he heard Maggie calling him.
"I won't buy pickled cakes today. I'll help me make more meat pies. I should make a lot of money tonight." The Boku family is not rich, and its main source of wealth usually comes from pickled cakes and some wooden tools made by Yalis. Occasionally, the two of them have to do some short-term work to subsidize their household expenses.
In this era when civilians have tried their best to live and some free time at night is a carnival. No one cares who is the person who is being put on a stolen rack and is about to be burned to death.
For Maggie, who is more diligent, it will be easier to lift the curfew tonight and sell meat pies and other snacks to everyone. Other things are not caring about.
Adam was somewhat interested in the people on the stolen rack, after all, they were all people who were called "beasts" by the church.
He believed that the aliens who wanted to go from the wall of Roa to the Kingdom of Loken were not the only ones, so there should be many aliens hidden in the city of Loa. If he could contact them, he might have more choices, although he had not yet thought about how to contact Adam.
I don't know if they will visit the stolen.
Put the meat pie into the woven basket, and the sky outside was darkened. Yaris and Maggie were ready. Each of them carried a basket and asked Lena to follow her to walk towards the intersection.
There were already many people on the street, gathering together in groups of three or three, chatting and laughing at various gossips and interesting stories from the neighbors, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Adam walked along the way with the basket and found that there were some soldiers maintaining order in the crowd, and some people's eyes were searching for something in the crowd.
Seeing this situation, Adam felt that the possibility of encountering other alien species this time might be very low.
After all, not every alien species can be like Adam, just like ordinary people.
Under the church's inspection methods, it is difficult for most aliens to cover up their abnormalities.
For example, the nemesis of the werewolf is Silver, and Adam's transformation state has a very abnormal self-healing ability. He was cut with a knife and the wound began to heal.
But if the wound is caused by a silver weapon, not only will the self-healing ability be minimized, but it will also cause him to be poisoned.
If it is an acquired werewolf, even if it touches silver in a human state, it will be burned out of wounds. Therefore, many sheriffs will bring some silver items on their bodies, which makes many werewolfs have nowhere to hide.
"I guess there will be no alien species." Adam was not very disappointed. He had almost never had any contact with other alien species, and all the information came from books.
When you are not strong enough, it is not necessarily a good thing to come into contact with other alien species.
Soon the sky darkened and people gathered towards the street intersection.
With the crossing of a large number of torches, Adam's face changed lightly and darkly. Perhaps one day he would be put on the stolen rack and be watched so by people.
Various odors were mixed on the scene, but when the person wrapped in a sack was brought up, Adam smelled a herbal smell.
"Is the witch doctor?" Adam frowned. The witch doctor is a gray profession. Most of the incoming people are humans. They can use various strange materials to refine various magical potions.
Because the potion produced is effective, the monks of the church turned a blind eye to the existence of the witch doctor.
Generally speaking, only life with extremely sinful sins will be executed, and the witch doctor will not be carried on the stolen stand unless the witch doctor is deprived of his qualification as a human being.
Seeing the soldier tied the man suspected of being a witch doctor to a wooden stand, an old man with a white beard in a monk's uniform stood in front of the pile and began to read out the guilt of the person who was executed.
"Boutis, the sinner, used evil means to refine potions, and the crime was extremely evil. The church in Nancheng District was sentenced to stolen!"
"Burn him to death! Burn him to death!" After the verdict was completed, the onlookers were already shouting.
The people tied to the stake were still struggling, but some monks had already arrived at the edge of the platform with torches in hand.
Adam mixed in the crowd, watching the beating flames on the torch, suppressing the strangeness in his heart, and shouting with the others.
When everyone's eyes were attracted by the torch that was thrown, Adam saw a man squeeze out of the crowd.
The man's eyes were glowing green. As he thrust out, he grew black and gray hair, his mouth became longer, and turned into a human-shaped giant wolf, shattering his shirt.
The huge palm waved away the person blocking his body, and the werewolf rushed towards the platform with a howling sound.
Adam vaguely felt that he was under some kind of impact, causing his bloodline to move slightly, as if he could transform at any time and howl at it.
"As bloodline matures, has your control over transformation ability become weaker?"
The werewolf's storm caused the audience to be watched. Adam was about to cooperate with the people around him to scream when he heard the white-bearded monk who had read the verdict before shouting.
“Calm down!”
The sound seemed to be heard in the quiet night, and the sound became your whole body. It couldn't help but follow the sound. The crowd, which was originally panicked because the werewolf jumped out, suddenly became quiet.
And the werewolf that seemed unstoppable to the platform, before touching the person tied to the stolen rack, a young monk rushed out from the side, and the sword of ceremonial in his hand was unsheathed with golden light. Suddenly, Adam even heard the sound of the rules.
The angle of the sword was very tricky, and he drove straight into the werewolf's throat.
A large amount of blue smoke came out of the werewolf's throat. He waved his huge palm twice, and as the young monk pulled out the sword of honor, he fell on the platform.
"Fraternal Fra."
The young monk was the monk who was very optimistic about Adam and gave him the Word of God.
Adam really didn't expect that monk Fra had such strength. His eyes flashed twice, and he moved away from the young monk, and met the wide eyes of the werewolf corpse, which seemed to be left with despair.
A large amount of black smoke flew out from the wound of the corpse's throat, and the werewolf's corpse quickly shrank and turned back to a human naked in shorts.
Seeing the man's appearance, Adam lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to look directly at the body, but he was covering up the corner of his mouth that could not help but lift up.
He did hurt his species before, but the other party's despair made him seize more hope.
As Adam knew before, most alien species could not conceal their abnormalities, but in the face of the church's search for alien species, there was no extinction, so naturally there was a way to escape the search.
"The so-called potion refined by the witch doctor should be a potion to suppress abnormalities." Adam knew the werewolf, and the other party even bought him a few pickled vegetable cakes. At that time, Adam did not notice that the other party waswolf at all.
Adam had collected information about most of the people he could come into contact with. The werewolf had lived in the Nancheng District for many years. It was precisely because of this that after the witch doctor who sold the abnormal potion was arrested, he did not choose to escape.
He had adapted to his life in the Nancheng District and could not accept his future escape, so he came to the execution ground in despair.
There may be other ways to cover up the werewolf abnormality, but that is meaningless to the werewolf whose current life is broken. This time the impact is just a desire to die.
Adam was happy because it was an opportunity for him. He didn't know how to dig out the power of blood, but he was very familiar with how to cover up his blood.
"Those aliens who have lost their way of covering up the abnormality and are unwilling to escape here must need a new protective umbrella."
"And I can be this protective umbrella!"
The stolen punishment has been held as scheduled. The witch doctor who was covered with his mouth did not disturb the bonfire party. The aftermath of the werewolf attack was also cleared by the monk's magical skills.
