Before the king responded, the devil bent over his crown and gave him a kiss on the forehead. Then he let go and walked back with a smile. The black fog rose from the ground. The devil opened his hand and fell into the darkness, but his eyes were still watching the king.

"Remember, sire."

The devil said, the sound is far away with the breath of the wind.

"Alert the Pope."

He disappeared into the dark, as mysterious as when he came.

The dark world, which had turned into black and white, was quickly colored, and everyone recovered. Standing still, the housekeeper was stunned when he saw the rose in the king's hand

Then his voice stopped abruptly and he looked in front of him in amazement.

The king followed his eyes and saw the roses blooming outside the railing in a flash, as red as fire. The housekeeper looked at the roses, then at the king, and asked him carefully what to do with them.

He was silent for a long time and told the housekeeper that he would summon the witches from Blaise.

The housekeeper understood that this was the meaning of not having to deal with it.

Before he stepped down, he couldn't help looking at the king standing in front of the rose. The young emperor held the rose, and the sun fell on his crown, which clasped his forehead.

………………

The witches have had a good time in Legrand these days.

At first, for the Blaise witches, Legrand is now the only place they can choose. But now they really like it.

The witch hunting movement was thrown aside by the king here. Before that, a hapless man held a trial against witches. In the end, he was thrown on the burning rack for witches because he "obeyed the laws of the holy court and provoked the royal power without the permission of the king" and "violated the Royal power".

This witch case even triggered a "Legrand legal dispute".

The royal court reprinted the book of obedience to the law of the clergy, a code issued by William III.

During the reign of William III, the house of Commons, at the instigation of William III, presented a petition to the king. In fact, it was an attack on the legislative power of the faculty Council. Members of the house of Commons believed that the Council of the clergy in the provinces of Borrie and trapper violated the customary practice of Legrand in enacting the law: all the codes used to bind clergy and secular believers should be agreed by both sides at the same time.

In the petition in 1412, someone put forward a concept recognized by William III:

"church law without the participation of the secular community should not be binding on the secular community." [1]

in the lower house accusation during the period of William III, the secular aristocracy and the urban rich class rarely stood on the United Front - although the aristocracy believed in the Lord, it did not mean that they were willing to bear the increasing church tax from the holy court at that time. Hell, the church's tax is still used to hand over to Holy Spirit Bay, so that Holy Spirit bay can turn around and support the Holy Lord's filial son, Blaise, to launch an expedition against Legrand.

Faith belongs to faith, gold coin jingle belongs to gold coin jingle.

Of course, the most important thing is a hint from William III: if they are really willing to hand in a large number of gold coins to ask the Holy See to support Blaise in attacking Legrand, then whoever pays the Holy See will go to the front line.

Finally, under the pressure of the expedition, the parliament was particularly harmonious. Finally, the Legrand Council had to submit the letter of obedience to the law of the church to William III, which divided the legislative power of the Council and submitted it to the will of the king. In this code, there is a provision that "without the permission of the king, the Council will not make, issue or implement any new laws or regulations.".

Unfortunately, the code was a flash in the pan.

Soon after William III and parliament passed the code, several states in Legrand "happened" to rebel. Then Prince Pollan was born, William III died and the Pope was crowned. The Duke of Buckingham "forgot" the code and put it on hold. Later, the faculty Council was able to issue the law provocatively again, and the Duke just didn't see it.

Over time, the Church of Legrand forgot that there was such a code.

But in the "Legrand dispute", the royal court, at the king's command, turned it out of the thick pile of old paper.

The reason why the Royal judge used to attack the Archbishop who tried the witch was that "the witch hunting decree was issued by the holy court for the clergy, not for the secular members. He tried the king's secular subjects with the clergy decree, which not only violated the book of obedience to the clergy law, but also provoked the dignity of the royal power."

In the end, the guy who wanted to burn a widow for profit was ordered by the king to put on the gallows he had prepared.

In the holy Empire, there are many gallows. Now, this is the only gallows that have been burned in the territory of Legrand.

As the witch hunting movement and the "heretic trial" movement intensified, more and more "heretics" converged from all directions towards Legrand, which is the only place of freedom under the holy light."The land of liberty", Legrand.

Unlike the astrologers with different moods, the witches set foot on the land of Legrand almost as a pilgrimage.

They are different from astrologers. In such a long time, astrologers are not in pursuit all the time. As long as they are willing to abandon their arrogance and act as the servants of the holy court, the holy court does not mind using some luxury to make these captive slaves live better.

But between the witches and the Holy See, there is nothing but immortality.

For a long time, women always play the role of sin and depravity in theology. In the belief of witches, the worship of "snake" naturally stands on the absolutely irreconcilable position with the Holy See. Since the hundred years of migration, the holy court has been committed to the pursuit of witches.

They are displaced and homeless.

With the permission of the king's blessing, they landed with the feeling of being willing to work for Legrand. In the witch's expectation, the king should ask them to carry out assassination, poison curse and so on. After all, in Blaise, there were aristocrats occasionally with them, which is what they wanted to do.

The result was unexpected.

On the first day of their arrival in Legrand, they were taken to a place -

Department of Pathology, first Academy of Sciences, Legrand.

Standing in front of the door of the pathological research department of the first Academy of Sciences, the witches looked at Qi Shushu's row of frames of fire standing at the door and raised their wands conditionally to protect themselves.

Just as they were staring nervously at the scaffold, a pharmacist in a white coat, with his hair neatly combed back, and a pretty face, flipped through a thick book, mocked with astonishing speed as he walked:

"my God! I can't believe people can be so stupid! Are they going to put all the old and poor guys on the rack? These ignorant guys, if these poor people are really demons and have such great power and destructive power, why do they die like ordinary people and even can't keep themselves son of a gun! How can an old woman who is so old that she has lost her teeth and has no power to bind a chicken, as accused, soar to another place to do evil?! [2] "

" they are raping my logic and my medicine! "

The witches listened to the pharmacist's "Hua Hua" turning the book, and then said hello to the author's brain and intelligence with the most cordial words.

Finally, he closed the "witch's hammer" with a bang, and as soon as he looked up, he saw the witches standing in front of him with a complicated look.

"Welcome to the first pathological research department of Legrand. I'm minister Duna. Well, time is running out. Let's talk as we go." The pharmacist shook hands with the witch leader in a hurry and led the man towards the research laboratory. "Your Majesty threw this nonsense to me Hell, I'd rather do 30 more bacterial studies than one more look at this thing! "

"What are bacteria?"

The witches walked through the snow-white passage, passing a laboratory full of various strange instruments, and found that many glass bottles of different shapes were placed on the shelves, filled with different colors of potions.

"Fool!! I said it! You can't touch it directly! "The pharmacist stepped into a laboratory, scolded a young doctor, put on gloves, picked up tweezers, and carefully picked up a piece of meat. After putting it down, he came out again. "Oh, I've proved that there is something in nature that human eyes can't see - by the way, your witch's lenses are very useful in this respect. Thanks to miss grela's help, we imitate the witch's glasses to make instruments that can magnify objects hundreds of times. You should also be very good at this, right? During this time, you are going to help those stupid little apprentices make a batch of magnifiers. "

"OK, OK."

The witches were dazzled by his torrential speed of speech and the amount of information in his words, but the pharmacist in the white coat was so powerful that they did not dare to say a word.

"The frames outside are..."

Asked the witch leader, who was given high hopes.

"Oh, that's our medal. Only the smartest guy can get it. You'll know later. By the way, since you are here, you must firmly stand on the side of the crematorium party. The crematorium is higher than the guillotine. We must not let those designers in hell succeed! "

Witches:???

If the witch leader wanted to say anything else, the pharmacist had already rushed into another laboratory.

"Test bed two! Damn ass!! Copy me the lab code three times The pharmacist roared like a lion again, "when will these guys remember that they have to be strict! Rigorous! Rigorous! Science is not a muddle. Any mistake will lead to the failure of the experiment. "

The witches had a hard time getting to know the style of a pharmacist. At this time, a plague doctor with a black beak exoskeleton came out of a room.

"It?"

The witch pointed her wand at the black plague doctor in amazement."Oh, Dr. plague, our best assistant! They have a good temper, but occasionally they are a little greedy. If someone's bacterial culture bottle can't be closed tightly, they will be treated as snacks... " As the pharmacist said, the pestilence doctor floated up to him and touched him with his beak, "don't do this, don't do it! Don't touch my body

In the witch's cognition, the dreadful plague doctor, who lives in parallel with death, lingers in front of a row of shelves.

Strange Actually, er, it's kind of cute?

A young witch couldn't help but give it a bottle of potion.

The plague doctor bowed politely to the little witch and left happily.

"Well, this is your temporary residence."

The pharmacist opened a door, and the one who appeared in front of the witches was a

"I need you to boil all the potions you know For the sake of science, please don't use your crucible that hasn't been washed for hundreds of years! Please mark the amount of each experimental material carefully and follow the experimental rules. If there is no accident, you will be in charge of the first reagent research department of Legrand. Finally... "

The fierce pharmacist gave them a rare smile:

"welcome to Legrand."

Applause thundered from behind.

The witches looked back and saw the doctors in white coats. The researchers did not know when they had left the test bed and surrounded them. They looked at them with a smile and clapped.

"Welcome to the first Academy of Sciences!"

Since the first century AD, witches who had been banished by the world had become red eyed.

Welcome to Legrand. This is the land of freedom.

The flower of truth blooms on her soil.
