They all call me an Outer God.

Chapter 30 Witch Trial
Ria had no idea where the point of his laughter lay.

He had never read the so-called "The Origin of Endless", but what surprised him was that there were actually people here who promoted the theory of evolution.

According to the propaganda style of those churches, it is just a matter of directly photographing the extraordinary power in front of the people and shouting, "Look at you bunch of rubes, praise the extraordinary."

How courageous it is to continue to promote biological science under such pressure.

"It's really impressive to be praised like this by you."

After Ria finished speaking casually, she continued to read. When she saw something she didn't understand, she started asking James. James answered tirelessly, playing the role of a "mentor" perfectly.

I don’t know how much time passed, but there was a knock on the door of the bookstore.

James went to open the door. Standing outside the door was a child holding a newspaper, wearing a newsboy cap and a big patch on his clothes.

"It's little Billion. Have you found a new job recently?"

"I found it, and someone said I could help them clear their chimneys. Apart from being a little dirty and hot, the job is pretty good.

Thanks to this job, I have new money to buy food, otherwise I might have to go to a nearby factory to try my luck behind my parents' back. "

As Billion was talking, he suddenly remembered that he had something else to do. He quickly raised a pile of newspapers in his hand, pulled out a few sheets from the thin hemp rope and handed them to James. He took a Shivall handed by James and left in a hurry. go.

"In Wensi Town now, even such a young child has to consider working."

James looked at Little Billion's back and shook his head, then closed the door and sat down on the chair with the newspaper he ordered.

However, soon, he found Riya staring at him.

"What's wrong, you want to read the newspaper too?"

"I know the kid just now. He is a regular customer of the bakery, but he only buys half a loaf of bread each time."

"Poverty is like this. Do you think he doesn't want to buy more? Look, such a young child has to deliver newspapers, help people open chimneys, and even want to do odd jobs in factories...

If I remember correctly, only children can do the work of opening chimneys because they are small and can get into narrow tunnels. The most important thing is that they are cheap.

It only takes one Swaar to make them clean the chimney, but the mortality rate in this line of work is quite high. "

James turned to the next page of the newspaper, folded them in half, and said casually: "When it comes to money, rich people think it is tacky, because they don't care, they pursue spiritual wealth, but people here are different.

They can't live without money, and they will do anything for money. "

Ria fell silent, and the only sound left in the bookstore was the sound of paper turning.

After a few minutes, James burst out laughing.

"Kercha, guess what I saw in the newspaper?"

"what?"

"Witch, it's a witch, the Church of the Sun wants to execute the witch in public!
Although hearing the name [Witch] makes me uncomfortable, and those people were not executed, it is still necessary to go and see such a grand event. Do you want to go? "He invited Riya to go watch the fun together, but found that Riya's expression suddenly changed.

The remark that "women will be regarded as witches once they are found to have knowledge" suddenly echoed in his mind at this moment.

He thought of Angana, and without caring about books at the moment, he left the bookstore and rushed towards his residence, praying in his heart that Angana would be fine.

However, the reality is that he is destined to be disappointed. His luck has never been good. After searching the whole house and knocking on every door, he did not hear any movement, nor did he see Mrs. Sturt or Angna. Behind the figure, Riya suddenly forced herself to calm down.

He left his residence and asked people on the street where the church was trying witches. When they saw that the person asking was Riya, they pointed to the smoke in the distance and showed him.

Riya looked in that direction and found that as expected, a wisp of gray smoke slowly rose into the sky in the distance, dividing the sky into two halves.

His heart suddenly lifted, and when he arrived there ten minutes later, the place was already surrounded by "righteous and awe-inspiring" people.

The high platform was piled with firewood. A woman wrapped tightly in black cloth stood on the pile of firewood. The cross tied her torso so that she could not move. The firewood around it had been ignited. I don’t know why it did not spread to the center. .

Judging from the figure, the woman was not Angna, but Riya was not relieved, because not far away, he saw Angna in the crowd, looking over there blankly, Mrs. Ste. Stay behind her and wipe away her tears with your hands.

Ria struggled to squeeze through: "Why are you here!?"

"Brother Ria..." Angna looked at him with tears in her eyes. This was the first time she called Ria's name.

"I don't understand why, why is this, why are they trying her, what did she do wrong!"

The girl tried hard to suppress her voice. She bit her sleeve, leaving a water stain there.

"Miss Amysa is my friend. She is very knowledgeable. Everyone who talks to her will be impressed by her accomplishments. Everyone praises her, but for people like this, they want..."

"Stop talking." Mrs. Sturt hugged Angna. After hearing about this, Angna rushed out desperately. Mrs. Sturt could only follow her to prevent her from getting into trouble.

On the high platform, the priest held up a book and declared the witch's crime, saying that she spread evil and must be purified by the sun. Then, he uncovered the black cloth on Amysa's body. At that moment, the surrounding flames suddenly rose, Approaching towards the center.

The people at the bottom shouted to kill the witch, and the priest at the top shouted to kill the witch. In such an environment, the "witch" suddenly laughed wildly, and the smoke rising from the fire engulfed her face.

"Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha——"

"Yes, yes! I am the witch, and now this witch is going to curse you! I curse you, and you will be trapped in poverty for the rest of your life!!
Never, never turn over! ! ! "

Looking at that scene, Riya suddenly had a strong desire to escape, and the strange dizziness came again.

He held his forehead, and many people around him supported him with their hands to prevent him from fainting and falling to the ground. In his daze, he quickly waved his hands and said that he was fine.

When Ria calmed down and looked towards the high platform again, the face of the woman in the smoke suddenly changed to Angana. Mrs. Sturt fell to the ground motionless, and no one came close to her.

"what happened!?"

Ria took a step back in disbelief: "Am I hallucinating again?"
