Chapter 143 Misty Town (20) Witch

The burning sound of the flames crackled, as if something was wailing in pain.

The cardinal said loudly: "Audrey needs to experience the baptism of fire with the devil, otherwise she will become-"

"Witch."

"What? Witch, Audrey is a witch. This is impossible."

Witches are as evil as demons. They are dissolute and betray the world. They are believed to have committed many evil deeds and harmed the world. They must be burned in fire, in excruciating pain, and finally broken into pieces, in order to atone for their sins.

But the girl was, after all, their child who had grown up in their eyes. Even though they were cold-blooded and heartless, they still had some sympathy for her.

"Yes, Audrey was just bewitched for a moment. She is a good child and she is not a witch."

Mrs. Lewis and Mrs. Brown begged, saying that they were Selina's best friends and could not bear to watch their friend's only daughter suffer such torture.

"No." The archbishop smiled, "She is not just bewitched, she has already had an affair with the devil and is no longer a pure virgin. Her body and soul have been polluted by the devil!"

"what?"

His words caused an uproar among the crowd.

In this ignorant age, the most important thing for a woman is chastity. An unmarried girl must maintain the purity of her virginity and give herself to her husband on the wedding night, otherwise she would be considered fickle and promiscuous.

Not only had she lost her virginity, but the man she had an affair with turned out to be an unforgivable demon. This was simply unforgivable.

Those who had previously defended "Audrey Felix", the lost lamb-like girl, now turned against the archbishop and supported his decision to burn Yan Jinyue at the stake. Not only that, they also severely criticized Yan Jinyue's "dissolute" behavior.

Even Mrs. Lewis and Mrs. Rulang... Although they couldn't bear it, they still said: "Audrey, how could you do such a shameful thing, how can you be worthy of your parents!"

Yan Jinyue certainly didn't feel ashamed of their accusations after hearing the insults. She sneered:

"Yes, it is true that I had sex with Colwyn. But I don't feel that I was contaminated or that I was unclean."

She looked at the archbishop with sarcasm in her eyes, blaming her for having misjudged him and thinking he was a kind and gentle old man, but she didn't expect him to be a hypocritical person.

She looked at the crowd below the scaffold again and sneered even more.

Colvin took great pains to care for them every day, listened to their pains patiently, and helped them solve their difficulties. But how did they repay him?
Just because of an identity and a false reputation, they sent the benefactor who was so good to them to the rack and burned him in fire for seven nights.

Yan Jinyue found it ridiculous. Who was the devil?
She said word by word with great force: "Kolwyn and I are in love with each other. We are clean and upright. Neither of us is dirty. On the contrary, the real dirty ones are you, a bunch of wicked people with evil hearts and filthy belly!"

"And you!" She glared at the cardinal, her eyes red with anger, "You are a hypocritical bastard with a false reputation!"

"You swindle and deceive people under the banner of God, and plunder the people's wealth, but you don't really do anything good for the people. And the pastor who truly works for the people is labeled a demon by you." She spat, "Are you worthy of the status of archbishop?"

"How dare you disrespect the archbishop!" the solemn clergymen in white robes on both sides scolded.

Yan Jinyue sneered: "He doesn't deserve my respect."

She raised her voice and said, "Not to mention an archbishop, even if a god is standing here, I will scold him if he hurts Korwin!"

After she finished speaking, there was complete silence. Everyone was shocked by the girl's shocking words. This was totally blasphemous.

"Put her on the rack, too, quickly!" The archbishop lost his composure and became red with anger. "She actually dared to disrespect the gods. She has become a witch and must be burned at the stake as soon as possible!"

He pointed at Yan Jinyue angrily and was so excited that he almost couldn't breathe.

But even though the disaster has lasted for thousands of years, he is still fine.

The clergymen in white surrounded Yan Jinyue from both sides, but every time they approached one of them, they were attacked by the black mist before they could even touch the edge of the girl's clothes. They rolled on the ground in agony until they all fell down, leaving only one cardinal.

"Who? Who is causing trouble?" He looked around in fear and panic, "Come out quickly, otherwise, the gods will not forgive you."

"The gods don't care about you, an old thing." The wind brought the man's lazy voice. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. A handsome man with silver hair and red eyes walked over leisurely, surrounded by black mist, with a cold and terrifying aura.

"Kerwin?" Someone saw his face clearly and shouted in surprise, "Why are there two Kerwins, two demons?"

The crowd rioted.

The devil walked leisurely to the rack, put his arms around the girl's waist, and curled his red lips: "Isn't it obvious? I am the devil."

"And he is just a good guy who was wrongly accused by you."

A pair of black horns emerged from the man's silver hair, surrounded by a scarlet halo, and his two teeth also elongated and became pointed, emitting a cold and eerie light.

As for the man on the rack, although they had exactly the same face, he was pale and weak, and his temperament was as pure and holy as the cold moon. In comparison, he was indeed not a devil.

"Did we really get the wrong person?"

"Reverend Colwin was wrongly accused?"

"Then let's..."

A heated debate broke out below.

"No. We are not mistaken!" The Archbishop coughed heavily a few times, "Korwin is a devil, and this man is also a devil. They are actually the same person, just separated!"

"You're such a liar, old man." The devil laughed wildly, "Although this bastard and I look a bit alike, we are obviously two different people."

The others also said, "Yes, they are two people. They just look a little similar."

"Did we make a mistake? Did we really wrongly accuse a good person?"

"Reverend Colwin is not the devil, this guy is. We must be mistaken."

"I said, Reverend Colwin is so kind, how could he be a devil?"

Yan Jinyue turned her head to look at the man, a little confused.

Didn't he just say that he and Kerwin were the same person? Why now...

Noticing the little girl's confused eyes, the devil smiled and lowered his voice: "Wait, the fun isn't over yet."

"Why are you here?" Colwin asked weakly behind him.

"Don't be so conceited. I don't care whether you are dead or alive." The devil glanced at him and said coldly, "I am doing this for myself and Jinyue. In order to be with Jinyue for a long time, I have to save you, you bastard."

Kerwin just smiled self-deprecatingly: "Luckily I have you, otherwise, with my current ability, I can't protect her."

"It's good to know." The devil sarcastically said, "The human body is fragile and vulnerable. It's better to be a devil."

"You're right." Kerwin's silver eyes froze into frost.

The residents of the town have been persuaded by the devil and are shouting to release "Reverend Colwin". Seeing that the situation is out of control, the archbishop has no choice but to burn his boats:

"They are indeed one person!"

"Because I separated them myself!"

"I cut out Colwyn's heart!"

Hearing this, Yan Jinyue suddenly looked at him and narrowed her eyes dangerously.
