Chapter 765: Use poison to fight poison


    Early the next morning, Duanmu Huai went to the town again, but this time, his outfit was completely different from before.


    "Look at how I''m wearing this?"


    Duanmu Huai stood in front of Mashu, proudly showing the clothes he made for the Vlvigi family overnight. Simply put, this is an ordinary priest costume, with a robe and a cross, which looks no different from a priest costume.


    but………


    "Uh...I think...is it okay?"


    Maxiu looked at Duanmu Huai and had nothing to say for a moment. This dress was like a clergyman when worn on the clergy, but when worn on Duanmu Huai and wearing sunglasses, it looked like the style of a gangster boss in the movie.


    "But MASTER, do you really want to do this?"


    This is also the result of Duanmu Huai''s discussion with the other three last night. It is not easy to dig three feet into such a small town to find the core of this special point, but Duanmu Huai can do the opposite and aggravate the changes in this town. Just as when the washing machine rotates, the vortex will discharge water to both sides and expose the bottom below. Accelerating the transformation can also cause the town to have a similar reaction, thereby exposing the core actively.


    This is naturally not an easy task, but... he is familiar with Duanmu Huai!


    Just kidding, who is he? He is the great judge of the Court. The targets of the Court are heresy, aliens and demons. Duanmu Huai has been fighting against aliens and demons for so long, and rarely encountering real heresies. But this does not mean that he doesn''t know how to deal with heresy and judge heresy.


    And this is what Duanmu Huai wants to do in this small town.


    He will initiate a heresy judgment in this small town in the name of the church.


    That’s right, the witch hunting and heresy judgment can be said to be the magic weapon for two major stable societies in the Middle Ages. In fact, unlike what people think, witch hunting is mainly born among the people, and religious courts basically do not care much. This is also why Duanmu Huai ridiculed the witches who were really capable of killing all the farmers, because most of the witches were in civil courts, except for those who involved high-level politics like Joan of Arc.


    Heresy judgment is the essence of religious judgment.


    After all, heresy is more hateful than pagans.


    Compared with the more "simple" witch hunting, the heresy trial is actually more terrifying and has a greater impact.


    The first thing that witch hunting is limited is women, and there must be evidence, just like the farmers who accused Mashu of his children of having a high fever after they came into contact with Mashu. Simply put, it is like a criminal case. No matter how incredible it is, you must have a victim to prove the existence of the witch.


    In other words, the witch hunting is about some evidence. No matter how reliable the evidence is, at least you have to have it, rather than just verbally pointing out that others are witches.


    However, heresy trials are completely different.


    Because heretic judgments are about thoughts and discourses, they do not pay attention to physical evidence. As long as they speak, it is evidence.


    What is heresy? Heresy is a view that goes against mainstream thoughts. Then the question arises. How do you know that you go against mainstream thoughts?


    In fact, the believers are often no different from those fans. They always have their own thoughts and opinions on the stories explained by religion. Whether they are shepherds, millers, or beggars on the roadside, they also have different views on the same story.


    Actually, it’s normal. In modern times, a movie, a novel, and a comic, everyone has different understandings after reading it. But now there is an Internet, so it can be spread. In the past, the circulation area was narrow, so I could only wander around locally. Then the question is - how can a farmer in a remote rural area in Italy know what the mainstream idea of ??the Roman bishop is?


    Of course, he came up with whatever he thought it was reasonable.


    There are 1,000 Hamlets in a thousand people. To the extreme, these 1,000 Hamlets are all heretics.


    Especially since the people in this small town are very pious, the question is even more interesting. Most people think that crazy believers are puppets, but in fact, the more devout the believers, the more they have their own ideas. On the contrary, only those who believe in general are not so pious will follow mainstream ideas - after all, it doesn''t matter no matter how you say it, and he doesn''t care.


    On the contrary, the crazy believers don’t recognize this. They are just like the kitchen and the kitchen in the anime. As long as you have a little bit of understanding of the background settings, they will accuse you of being a heretic, a novice, and an idiot who knows nothing but only follows the trend.


    After all, no one understands XX better than them, right?


    Even the kitchen and the kitchen will have a quarrel, and it will be even more fierce.


    This is the same in religion.


    If religion is compared to an animation, most believers are passers-by fans, and crazy believers are loyal and crazy fans - and they are also the kind of people who can act offline and act in action.


    This is also why heretic judgments basically end in massacre. You can change a person''s behavior, but it is difficult to change a person''s thoughts. Especially for such religious believers, their beliefs are equivalent to their life. If you can change his ideas, it is basically no different from killing him.


    So there is no need to waste time, so I just burned it all. Simple, convenient, fast and pollution-free... Well, it seems to be a bit polluted.


    For Duanmuhuai, he came to turn this town into a crematorium.


    "Then, I''m going."


    "Please be careful, MASTER."


    The previous two actions were caused by Fiore or Maxiu, which triggered the witch''s judgment, so Duanmu Huai certainly could not take her to act again this time. Only Medea and Alice Fil, who can be spiritualized, followed Duanmuhuai, while Mashu was responsible for providing support outside.


    Walking into the town again, everything here seems to be no different from before. People are still busy working, but in Duanmu Huai''s eyes, it is like the NPCs in the towns in the sandbox game. When players enter towns, they also walk around, giving players a feeling of being very prosperous in the city, but in fact, where did these NPCs go...


    That depends on whether the production team has done its best.


    Duanmuhuai raised his eyebrows, then withdrew his gaze, followed the street to the central square of the intersection, and then walked into the church gate.


    "Hello, stranger."


    When he walked into the church, the pastor in front came over. He was the pastor who led the team last night, but seeing how he looked like he didn''t know Duanmu Huai at all. "What''s wrong with you?"


    “I am the judge from the court.”


    Duanmu Huai said as he walked forward and took out a letter of appointment from under the cloak - of course this is forged. For the magician, it is okay to forge an appointment from hundreds of years ago.


    "The court received a report that there were heresies hiding here, and I was ordered to come here to investigate the matter."


    This kind of thing was actually very common in the past because communication was not well developed and transportation was not well developed. Therefore, it took capital to complain to the church. Simply put, no one will be idle and risking the danger of bandits and bandits to go to the church for fun. Unlike now, everyone can call the fake police, so the church will take such reports seriously.


    "Heaven?"


    Sure enough, when the pastor heard this word, he was immediately panicked.


    "Mr. Judge, I promise you that these are loyal believers, we..."


    “This is decided by me, not by you.”


    Duanmu Huai glared at the pastor coldly.


    "If I convey this matter, I will start investigating and collecting evidence immediately."


    "………yes………"


    The pastor could only remain silent, after all, he did not want to be regarded as a co-conspirator of heretics.


    Very good, it seems that the rules of this place are indeed formulated in this way.


    Duanmu Huai was relieved when he discovered that the priest in front of him was obedient. According to Alice Phil and Medea, every step of the magician''s ritual has its own inner meaning. Since this town imitates religious beliefs, they must be consistent with the imitated religious beliefs in any way.


    If this is the case, Duanmu Huai''s appointment letter will not be opposed or overturned. On the contrary, this can also help Duanmu Huai "integrate" into this operating ceremony.


    Now it seems that their suggestions are correct.


    “Clang…clang…clang…clang…clang…”


    As the bell rang, the busy residents in the town gathered. They came to the church gate to form a circle and stared at Duanmu Huai and the pastor uneasy. Under the gaze of the residents, Duanmu Huai stepped forward, stared at the people in front of him, and then spoke.


    "Let''s Lambs! Listen, I am Duanmu Huai, the great judge from the Court of Justice, and there is only one reason why I came here, that is, the church received a report, claiming that in this small town there is a heretic who blasphemed the glory of the Lord!"


    “………!”


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s words, everyone below was suddenly in an uproar, everyone was shocked and stared at each other uneasy. Duanmu Huai stood in front and stared at them.


    "The glory of the Lord cannot be blasphemed! Any heresy will eventually be completely destroyed! If your faith in the Lord is still extremely pious, then say everything you know! Remember, heresy are cunning and evil! They will use sweet lies to package their inner evil, and will use high-sounding language to hide their blasphemous thoughts! And heresy is among you! I will immediately start investigating, looking for the glory of the Lord and the majesty of those who blaspheme!"


    “…………”


    Speaking of here, everyone below was silent, while Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.


    "If anyone has clues, you can come to the church to find me and report to me. Remember that even a few clues do not matter. The sooner you can find heresy, the better you can get the town back to the gifts and glory of the Lord as soon as possible!"


    After saying this, Duanmu Huai turned around and walked into the church.


    Everyone stared at Duanmu Huai''s back, and after he left, they whispered around.


    "What should I do next? MASTER?"


    Back at her room, Alice Phil''s voice emerged from Duanmu Huai''s ears, and Duanmu Huai sneered.


    "It''s very simple, just find out the heresy."


    "But not necessarily there?"


    “This doesn’t matter.”


    Duanmu Huai waved his hand.


    "If I say who is heresy, then he is heresy."


    Speaking here, Duanmu Huai showed a hideous smile.


    "Trust me, in this regard, the Inquisition is professional."
