If the captured witch has not awakened, then for humane reasons, she will be allowed to live until she is sixteen years old and the day before she awakens her power before killing her.

Even if the birthday is calculated incorrectly, the newly awakened witch will not have enough power, and will still be wearing the shackles of the forbidden demon, so she will not pose any threat.

In short, these witches will not be allowed to escape alive, because no one knows whether they will lose control.

The second solution is of course to kill them on the spot. This is usually the fate of awakened witches who resist fiercely.

The third unconventional approach is to try to help them control the witch's blood, or even cure the witch's disease.

This is often unrealistic, because the witch herself may not even know whether she can control that kind of power.

As for the treatment of witch disease, it is even more expensive. Most people cannot afford it. More often than not, they cannot even buy medicine.

Since the witch curse on Earth has never been widespread and is almost extinct in modern times, before meeting Yulia, all Kodera Makiko knew about witches came from Erina's introduction and some occasional news she read online.

As for those things, Kodera had never taken them seriously. So when Erina said that some of them were true, she was very surprised.

Kodera asked Erina if witch hunting and witch hunting were the same thing, and received a negative reply from Erina.

She clarified that witch hunting was a complete joke and was just a persecution of innocent women. I can probably count the number of real witches killed in witch trials on two hands.

Witch hunting is carried out in periods and areas where witch curses occur more frequently. Although it is cruel, it has positive effects and is well-founded.

There must be innocent girls who are deliberately killed as witches, but it cannot be denied that this kind of movement is necessary. It is a helpless move.

But this kind of hunting often becomes too aggressive and terrifying.

In addition to some people who would avenge themselves and deliberately kill young women they disliked as witches, there were also large-scale massacres.

For example, this famous example - during the Middle Ages, the witch curse of Marsalas broke out on a large scale in the beautiful city of Marsalas in Europe, named for its large sage grove, so all the girls under the age of 18 in the city were kidnapped and executed collectively.

——Because they are all considered to have the possibility of giving birth to the blood of witches.

As for why we arrest people under the age of 18 instead of the normal ones under the age of 16, it seems to be because they want to be on the safe side.

The pregnant woman was hit hard on the abdomen with a wooden stick to force an abortion to ensure that she would not give birth to a little witch.

Pregnant women who were unwilling to cooperate were even beaten to death.

Marsalas was destroyed by this tragedy.

Because the massacre occurred without any warning, people did not have time to escape. People watched their daughters and wives being taken away, and they could only cry helplessly.

Some people dared to fight back at first.

But he immediately turned into a corpse.

The place where the bodies of these girls were buried collectively was called the "Witch Pit".

It has now become a tourist attraction. People often come to light candles in memory of them - but Erina complained that they were not heroes or saints, but simply victims. This kind of visit was like opening scars and showed no respect.

Talking will only make them unable to rest in peace.

I really hope they have a good sleep and don't light any broken candles. Just don't come.

When Erina clarified this, she also mentioned the ancestors of her companion Kikakue-san: Herman Amis, the knight who participated in the Battle of the Sealing Gate and defeated Izanami with the first-generation Miko and others.

He was a Templar of the Holy Religion of Radiance at the time, and it was in order to cure his sister Lisa who suffered from witch disease that he went to the East to find the legendary medicine that could cure this disease.

Herman is also inextricably linked to the Tribunal. This organization is not only the Tianyi Sect, but also the Guangyao Holy Sect.

This glorious knight died at the hands of the Inquisition.

The reason is that in order to protect the hometown that was shrouded in the blood moon and blood rain and invaded by monsters, the Onmyoji and Shushan celestial arts learned from the East were used.

The villagers seemed to be more afraid of him for using these "heresies" than monsters, and the church also labeled the former paladin a heretic and had him burned at the stake.

His family was also investigated for this reason. Later, the Inquisition found that he had been concealing the fact that his sister was a witch. They believed that his entire family were heretics and enemies of the Lord of Glory, so they planned to kill Lisa and Hermann's wife.

All the children were burned to death.

Lisa was caught at that time, tied next to her brother's burnt body and burned at the stake. But she was too powerful to be killed by the holy fire, and was reborn from the ashes. With the help of her brother's friends, she took her sister-in-law with her.

He fled to the Far East with his nephew.

The Inquisition is actually the same as the ordinary Temple Knights, hunting monsters.

But the focus of the Tribunal's work is not on this. Only when the Temple Knights are too busy or need additional help, the Tribunal will participate in combat missions that have nothing to do with their duties.

The combat effectiveness of the Tribunal is very high, and its leader is the Grand Inquisitor. The combat personnel are composed of high-level arbiters, arbiters and Tribunal soldiers.

It is equivalent to the leader of the Temple Knights of the Temple Knights. The Temple Knights are the same as the Temple Soldiers. As for the position of captain, it is just a higher position and there is no special professional title level.

The Grand Inquisitor is also an arbiter, but his level is higher than that of high-level arbiters.

People's fear of the Inquisition has many sources.

But the root cause is that their methods are often cruel and their ideas are very fanatical.

Fortunately, the Inquisition in Cole City has a pretty good reputation. Yulia, a friend of the Inquisition, is a very upright gentleman.

Apart from his love of gambling, he has no shortcomings.

The most surprising thing is that on a monthly average, he always wins.

The income from this side job has exceeded the salary and allowances of the Temple Knights.

This betting dog friend from the Inquisition had gossiped with Yulia and Dora when he was a guest before, saying that when he went to the underground fighting arena to place bets, he saw people suspected of being the archbishop coming and going several times.

The man went to the VIP room, and he was indeed worthy of the status of archbishop.

Every time the archbishop goes, it's always on Fridays, and he always goes in and out alone - probably because he doesn't want his servants to know that he has this hobby. Or, he just doesn't want to attract attention because he brings his subordinates.

Anyway, today happens to be Friday.

So if you go there today, you have a chance to see him.

If you want to confront the archbishop and ask for something, you must not miss this opportunity. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to catch him alone.

In fact, Yulia never quite believed what her friend said because she could not accept that the archbishop also liked to gamble.

But in fact, even if he really took the gamble, Yulia would be a little disappointed at most, feeling that the archbishop's image in her heart was no longer so glorious.
