There are more and more people, gathering from all directions like a tide.
Zhao Yuan and Qiqi followed the direction of the crowd and soon arrived at a huge square.
This square is the only square in Crescent City. Most of it extends to the residential area. It is very wide and is paved with huge stones. In a section of the square close to the city wall, there is a sculpture statue of Xuantian God Magister.
This statue is extremely majestic and magnificent, reaching a height of ten feet.
The statue has a cold and majestic expression, and its eyes look down on the square, giving it the feeling of looking down on the common people.
At this time, tens of thousands of people had gathered in the middle of the square. People were in extremely high spirits, talking loudly, and everyone was in high spirits. Many of them had children riding on their shoulders, as if they were attending a grand event worthy of joy.
Zhao Yuan was afraid that Qiqi would get lost, so he held her hand and squeezed towards the center of the square.
The density of people is too high, shoulders are squeezed, and it is difficult to move even an inch. However, this does not trouble Zhao Yuan. He only slightly activates the "power" state, and the tyrannical power immediately fills every inch of the skin of the body. In the dense crowd,
He was strolling around inside, and everything he passed was like an iron plow, squeezing out a path. Qiqi's body, who was being held behind him, had almost no contact with others.
The crowd that Zhao Yuan squeezed through felt like being charged by a bull. Everyone was knocked upside down. Many people cursed, but by the time they cursed, Zhao Yuan and Qiqi had already squeezed in far away.
, the road that was plowed out was immediately healed.
"Thank you." Qiqi thanked politely.
"Do you want to pledge yourself to me?" Zhao Yuan put his arms around Qiqi's slender waist and kneaded it without mercy.
"What are you doing!" Qiqi didn't expect that Zhao Yuan would molest her in public, and her face turned red immediately.
"Didn't we agree that you want to be more affectionate with me?" Zhao Yuan looked at Qiqi with a smile.
"You..." Qiqi was suddenly speechless.
"From now on, when you are at home, be more proactive and don't be like a zombie. The girls in Baihualou are all gentler than you."
"You, you..." Qiqi was so angry that she was shaking with anger when Zhao Yuan was compared to the girl from Baihualou.
"Now I'll teach you a lesson."
In the sea of people, Zhao Yuan took Qiqi's delicate body into his arms and rubbed it wantonly. Qiqi was immediately ashamed and angry, but she struggled to get rid of it. Fortunately, people were paying attention at this time.
No one noticed them about other things, which made Qiqi feel better.
"Okay, don't ask me to take the initiative in the future, you have to take the initiative. Of course, I don't mind taking the initiative. Now, hold my arm!" Zhao Yuan ordered.
"You are so shameless!" Qiqi was let go by Zhao Yuan and straightened her messy hair.
"Haha, if the characters on the evil list are not shameless, wouldn't they be worthy of that list? Did you take the initiative or did I take the initiative?" Zhao Yuan's extremely aggressive eyes pressed hard on Qiqi's face that was about to break.
Jade noodles.
"I."
Qi quickly hugged Zhao Yuan's arm and stamped her feet hard.
"Well, we can still be a little more intimate."
Zhao Yuan laughed loudly and continued to push forward. Qiqi lowered her head and followed beside her, her face flushed, and she didn't know whether it was from shyness or anger.
Soon, the two of them arrived in the middle of the square.
There is a huge circle made of stone pillars and thick iron chains. Around the circle, there are fully armed armored soldiers guarding it. The number is about two thousand, and the military appearance is majestic.
In the middle of the circle, there is a stone platform built with stones. The stone platform is about one and a half feet high. Although this height is not high, it allows the crowds of Crescent City residents around to see the top of the high platform at a glance.
At this time, the packhorses carrying dry firewood had already entered the circle surrounded by iron chains, and soldiers were carrying the dry firewood to the stone platform.
Zhao Yuan discovered that there were more than a dozen Xuantian divine envoys in black robes standing on both sides under the stone platform. Among them, there were actually two silver belt divine envoys and a gold belt divine envoy.
Could it be that this is a ceremony to burn the wizard?
Zhao Yuan had recently studied the history of the Demonic Core Continent and had a preliminary understanding of the continent. When he saw the scene in front of him, he immediately realized what was about to happen.
As early as thousands of years ago, there were loyal followers of Xuantian God Magister who described corpse demons as "wizards" and wizards as the main opponents of human beings; they could transform into humans, had many special abilities, and could also make "shamans"
Those who sell their souls to him will gain all kinds of magical powers to fly into the sky and escape from the earth, all kinds of worldly happiness, and even all kinds of abilities to destroy everything.
Not only can demons read people's thoughts, but they can also make people teleport anywhere.
Most people believe that "wizards" are born as the incarnation of the corpse demon, and there was a period of crazy and brutal "witch hunting". The dominant Xuantian Temple believes that "wizards" are "servants" of the devil Satan, and they
Those who used evil spells to harm people and were identified as "wizards" were either burned alive or cooked, or beheaded. According to incomplete statistics, there may be as many as 50,000 "wizards" executed throughout the Magic Core Continent.
.
Fifty thousand people!
There is no doubt that 50,000 people is an extremely terrifying figure. You must know that the population of the Magic Core Continent is not prosperous. If 50,000 wizards are really executed, then it can be said that wizards will be executed almost every three to five.
Various cruel methods were used to execute people.
While Zhao Yuan was thinking, suddenly, an earth-shattering chant came from the distance, and the flow of people separated into a path like a tide.
I saw a group of dozens of naked upper-body men with muscles like steel plates walking over carrying a huge nine-legged bronze tripod on wooden beams. Judging from the heavy steps, the bronze tripod was not light.
Soon, the group of big men carrying the bronze tripod arrived at the stone platform, climbed up the stone steps, and placed the huge bronze tripod on the high platform. Then, some soldiers put the dry firewood that had been prepared long ago.
Arriving under the bronze tripod.
In the distance, there was another burst of cheers.
A woman with disheveled hair and tied up was escorted to the stone platform and knelt on the ground. The good-looking young woman was also tough. Although she was forced to kneel on the stone platform, her neck was held high from beginning to end. In her eyes, there was a look of steadfastness and unyielding determination.
look.
At this time, the dozen or so divine envoys immediately boarded the stone platform and began to perform some ancient and mysterious movements along the stone platform.
The crowded square suddenly fell silent, the silence was suffocating.
"What are they going to do to that girl?" Qiqi felt inexplicably frightened when she saw someone pouring oil into the bronze tripod.
"They want to cook that woman alive." Zhao Yuan felt inexplicably heavy.
"Ah..." Qiqi's face suddenly turned pale, and she hugged Zhao Yuan with both hands subconsciously.
After the dozen or so divine envoys completed the ceremony, they walked over to the tied-up woman and formed a circle. Each person stretched out a hand and lifted the woman high.
The crowd burst into an overwhelming cheer.
"Burn her to death!"
"Burn her to death!"
"Cook her!"
…
The crowd was extremely fanatical, with crazy shouts coming and going for a long time.
