He was still alive after being burned for so long.
The crowd screamed in horror.
Many people lowered their heads, and some covered their mouths or eyes with their hands.
Perhaps the old saying that evil will be punished is fulfilled, but Cheng Qianxun knew that this retribution did not come from heaven, but from Satan.
This bastard deserves it, even Satan thinks he should be burned for a while longer.
When the dark, char-like thing finally lowered its head and took its last breath, one of its dried legs was broken off and fell into the still-simmering fire.
The rain stopped just in time, and there was a "boom" sound.
Amidst people's screams, the original small fire unnaturally sprang up as if it had been poured with kerosene, engulfing the charred corpse and burning violently. stand up.
The trainee priests all saw all this, and those who had evil thoughts in their hearts were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and prayed and confessed repeatedly, begging for forgiveness.
Those who deserved to be burned were burned to death.
Reger still handed over the ladder tax to the church to appease the frightened trainee clergy, and then went back.
The carriage moved forward slowly.
It should be possible to return to the manor before the sky darkened and the road could still be seen clearly.
Cheng Qianxun's mood was very complicated.
She really couldn't tell where hell was.
The people here really live worse than pigs and dogs, their conscience is almost gone, and they seem to be able to sell anything except trying to survive.
In a short period of time, she almost no longer recognized herself.
He ordered peasants who failed to pay taxes to be whipped, and he and his teammates planned to frame the priest and have him burned at the stake. . .
The wind blew, and she couldn't help but shiver.
The drizzle just now made her clothes slightly wet.
An arm reached out.
He hugged her trembling body.
She looked sideways and saw it was Sneijder.
Sneijder's handsome face smiled slightly, giving her great comfort.
Reger, who was sitting opposite, looked at them and said nothing.
The carriage was about to reach the gate when suddenly the carriage stopped.
Reger asked: "What's wrong?"
The thug driving the car in front said: "A fallen tree is blocking the middle of the road.
Don't worry, sir, it will be moved soon."
Several thugs ran to the front and began to move the tree trunk together.
Cheng Qianxun felt something strange.
How could the tree fall down when there was no strong wind?
Moreover, the leaves of the tree were lush and green, and it did not look like it fell because of a hollow hole in the middle.
She looked at the root of the tree.
It was obvious that someone had chopped it off, and the broken part of the stump was uneven. . .
She suddenly thought of something and immediately shouted: "Get down quickly."
Only a "dong" sound was heard, and a section of the tree trunk was hung on the rope.
It suddenly swayed from the side and rushed towards the people on the carriage.
Fortunately, the three people lowered their heads in time and lay on the carriage.
The heavy tree trunk swayed over their heads.
If you are still sitting, the impact force of this section of the trunk will be reduced.
Hit the head.
Not dead but disabled.
Rudolf, who was following behind the car, immediately drew out his sword, looked around warily, and shouted: "Move away!"
When the thugs noticed something was wrong, they speeded up the transportation.

After pushing and kicking the tree trunks, Rudolf urged: "Hurry, hurry up and drive back."
"Drive, drive."
The thug driving the carriage whipped the horse hard, causing the carriage to drive quickly towards the manor, while the other thugs ran slowly behind.
"Open the door.
Open the door quickly."
Reger and Sneed also got off the carriage and opened the door together with the groom.
After watching the door close again, Cheng Qianxun breathed a sigh of relief and felt much safer.
Everyone went upstairs.
Cheng Qianxun changed clothes hastily and went to the study.
Everyone also changed clothes and came over.
"It must be Jeffrey."
Reger said angrily: "Fortunately, in the Middle Ages, there was no way to find more weapons, so I came up with such a method."
Nowadays, an ordinary farmer probably can't even hold a decent kitchen knife.
It seems that poverty has its benefits.
"What to do now?"
Cheng Qianxun felt more and more pressed for time.
The external threat was temporarily lifted.
Burning a priest to death should give them a day or two to rest.
Probably Jeffrey also felt the existence of this kind of pressure, or the life outside made him miserable and unbearable, so he wanted to get rid of one of them as soon as possible and let the game end as soon as possible.
"Increase the bounty," Sneijder said: "Ten gold coins, regardless of life or death."
Ten gold coins are enough to buy a large piece of land, and you can become a comfortable master.
This bounty is enough to make the poor people who are full of stomachs go crazy and turn the outside upside down, trying every means to catch this treasure that is like a ginseng doll.
Ten gold coins, of course there is no money, but as long as Jeffrey dies, everything here will be over, and there is no need to worry about whether he can pay the reward.
Someone knocked on the door.
It turned out that the thugs and domestic slaves had all returned.
Only the small door was opened to let them in one by one to ensure that no invisible devil would be let in.
The current situation is favorable to them.
The walls here are high and there are constant guards at the door.
Inside the wall, although the food tasted not very good, at least it was enough to satisfy one's needs.
They didn't have to do anything, they just sat down together and discussed how to save their lives.
But Jeffrey was different.
He could only endure hunger during the day and had to find a place to escape the cold night.
The autumn night was already a bit freezing.
It would be uncomfortable if there was no house to live in and no haystacks, and he didn't dare to light a fire for fear of being seen.
After setting the bounty, I told the thugs that they were the first to light the torch.
Their eyes were shining with gold, and they went out to look for the invisible wizard without even sleeping.
With someone helping to find them and someone watching at the door, they can sleep peacefully again.
Even if you sleep on the ground, it's far better than sleeping outside in the open air.
When the light became brighter and brighter, and even her closed eyelids could feel the light, Cheng Qianxun knew that she had fallen asleep late again.
She slowly opened her eyes, but was shocked to see a sharp knife appearing directly above her.
The tip of the knife was only about two feet away from her, facing her head. . .
"Ah" she screamed, rolled to the side, and the sharp knife stabbed down hard.
Stabbed on the pillow she had been sleeping on just a moment ago.
Then the sharp knife was pulled out and continued to stab her.
"Ah, help, the invisible devil is here..."

Cheng Qianxun called for help loudly, but the person holding the knife could not be seen at all.
He could only look at the direction where the sharp knife was stabbing, and dodge in a panic.
Throw whatever you can find in the general direction of the person holding the knife.
Sure enough, there was someone there, and some of the things thrown over were pushed away.
"Help, come here quickly."
Cheng Qianxun wanted to escape from the room, but the sharp knife arrived at the door very quickly and blocked the door.
The door handle was pressed against the back of a chair, an apparent attempt to kill her inside.
"Cheng, what's wrong?"
was Sneijder's voice.
The doorknob turned, but the door wouldn't open.
"Help.
Help me quickly," Cheng Qianxun shouted, watching in horror as the sharp knife came closer to her.
Even if she couldn't see Jeffrey's face, she could still imagine the ferocious look on his face at this time.
Can't die, she can't die.
Cheng Qianxun looked around looking for something to resist.
I saw some cosmetics placed on the cabinet behind me.
Lead powder and perfume were common items for nobles.
In a society where bathing is not allowed, perfume can cover up body odor, and lead powder can wipe the dirt-covered face white.
So he grabbed the lead powder, opened the box, and threw all the powder in the box up like spreading lime.
Where the dust fell, there was a "sneeze" and a human figure was revealed.
With a "boom", the door was knocked open, and Reger's tall figure rushed in: "Cheng" Rudolph and Sneijder were followed closely behind, and they both saw a vague figure covered in white powder, which seemed to be wiping his eyes.
Still sneezing.
"He's right here" Cheng Qianxun shouted as he picked up the perfume and opened the lid.
Seeing that something was wrong, Jeffrey immediately turned around and jumped out of the window.
"Don't let him escape."
Everyone rushed to the window, only to see a vague white shadow jumping to the ground.
I can only hate that they live on the second floor while the ground floor is dirt.
But the height was still there.
Jeffrey rolled around on the ground and could see a lot of powder sprinkled on the ground.
Cheng Qianxun quickly turned the perfume bottle in his hand to the powdered figure and poured out all the perfume inside.
Rudolf jumped up to the window sill and jumped down with agility; the other men jumped down too.
Jeffrey didn't see it for a second, and immediately ran away.
At this time, the powder on his body became less and less, and he kept shaking off the powder on his body as he ran away.
The three teammates were already quite fast, but halfway through the chase, Jeffrey completely disappeared and the sharp knife was thrown to the ground.
Cheng Qianxun ran downstairs and ran all the way to his teammates, panting slightly: "He is here now, what should I do now?"
"They must have come in with the carriage last night."
Rudolf bent down and picked up the sharp knife, which was the knife in the kitchen.
"What's wrong?"
Many house slaves heard the sound and ran out one after another.
"Go find some hunting dogs, right away" Cheng Qianxun shouted immediately.
She shook the empty perfume bottle in her hand: "I poured the perfume on the invisible demon.
As soon as everyone smells the fragrance, he must be nearby. " "Go and catch him quickly, kill him," Rudolf said loudly: "Whether he's dead or alive, I'll reward him with ten gold coins.
He's right here, and the door is closed and he can't get out."
When everyone heard this, they immediately became more energetic.
The wealth of ten gold coins was enough to offset the fear of the invisible wizard.

They picked up various usable tools and started rummaging through the yard and house.
Jeffrey can only make himself invisible, but cannot eliminate other items.
He can see it as soon as he holds the weapon in his hand, but it still cannot be underestimated.
He is cruel and ruthless, and he might be able to cause harm to people by grabbing something on the ground.
For example, rocks can hit your head, and branches can stick in your eyes.
Rudolf thought for a while and then said: "Go to the vegetable patch."
Several people stood in the middle of a potato field, looking around warily.
Whenever someone comes in, they will always push aside the dense stems and leaves on the ground, and they will know that Jeffrey is sneaking closer.
And all the people in the manor were looking around with weapons, and some people were out looking for dogs.
She had just been so close to being stabbed to death, so close to death that Cheng Qianxun couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Sneijder looked at Cheng Qianxun who was still in shock, stretched out his arms and hugged her, comforting her softly: "Don't worry, we will find him
