108 – Hyde brings nobles and witches to justice! # 2

An interrogation center located underground in Barakan.

When I went inside, a strange smell hit my nose.

Psyche frowns.

“What is this smell?”

I answered simply.

“The smell of burning people.”

Before my eyes, a bloody scene unfolded with all kinds of torture instruments laid out.

People were tied tightly to the wall in handcuffs and shackles.

There were many days when assailants with cone-shaped hats on their faces were pounding things that looked like heated iron stakes on people’s thighs or shoulders.

Cheeek-.

“Kyaaah!”

“Now! Go ahead and confess your witchcraft! Otherwise your thighs will be roasted like meat for dinner tonight!”

“Hiiii! Well, I’m not a witch! I just killed Bismas with a curse for insulting me and calling me a witch!”

If a human rights organization in the 21st century had witnessed this scene, it would have been truly outraged.

But unfortunately, in these dark times, there was nothing as soft as human rights.

Clap!

The iron door of the empty room opened, and the blonde witch Hecate was thrown in without notice.

Pot-.

Hecate lying on the floor.

She glared at us standing outside the cage.

“Alter this guy. You fooled me.”

Hecate’s eyes seemed to be searching for Alter.

However, unfortunately or fortunately, Alter could not accompany us to this event.

This was because Roland, who was in charge of the Barakhan security today, had banned Alter Archibald from entering the prison.

Soon, the black knights in black armor were giggling as they looked at the witch in the cage.

“It is indeed Sir Alter. Capturing the Five Pillars Witch without taking any damage. But looking at it like this, she looks like just an ordinary girl?”

“Be careful. Even if it looks like this, I don’t know what kind of magic it can use to kill someone. I heard that Lord Alter was deceived by this witch.”

People looked at the witch Hecate as if they were looking at monkeys in a zoo, and said one thing at a time.

They were both afraid and curious.

Jeopuk, Jeopuk-.

Soon, a huge man appeared in front of us from afar, exposing the muscles of his upper body.

In his hands was something that looked like a whip and a vicious hook, and it seemed that this man was the torturer who would be in charge of torturing Hecate.

“Hehe-. They say she’s a taboo witch. I thought he was going to be a person with scary nails and teeth, but he turned out to be quite pretty. This is going to be fun and make you scream.”

Grumble-.

The torturer, whose sharp hooks collided with each other and created a spark, entered the cage.

When everyone was tense, Hecate spat on the torturer’s torso, and the torturer, who saw it, chuckled as if it was fun.

“Yes. You seem quite strong!”

match-!

A hand as thick as a bear’s paw slapped Hecate’s cheek.

Although it looked quite painful, Hecate did not even scream.

“… … .”

They just stare in all directions with eyes full of resentment.

Then, finally, he uttered one word.

“I will curse you all to death.”

It was a voice that I thought would be exactly like this if someone suffering at the bottom of hell were to shout out with lifelong resentment.

It was a story that felt like a curse just to hear, so everyone who was listening to it trembled.

Did you feel something ominous?

But I was curious.

“If you’re going to curse me to death, what are you going to do?”

Sze-.

As I approached the bars, the torturer frowned beneath his perforated leather mask.

“Ibo show. Don’t approach me carelessly. Do you think you know who I am? I am Jean Paer, a special advisor who has been entrusted with all rights to this witch Hecate by Lord Naive, the Knight of Gold.”

“I am Hyde, a bronze priest and soon to be promoted to silver priest. He is also the youngest person to receive a doctorate in theology, having written the masterpiece “The Village of Back-Alley Nymphs.” Do you mind if I speak to the prisoner for a moment?”

“Oh! You are that Hydro!”

The fearsome-looking torturer, Jean Paer, spoke to me.

Had my name spread among the guards deep in this dungeon where they couldn’t even see the sunlight?

Soon the guards were whispering.

“Did you hear? He wrote “The Village of Back Alley Nymphs”.”

“What an amazing person!”

Everyone was busy praising me.

Although they are scary-looking people, they seem to have known that the novel I wrote, “Village of Back-Alley Nymphs,” was a masterpiece and a great religious book like no other in the world.

Psyche seemed to be moved as well and tugged on my collar.

“Hyde, people like the novel you wrote! They are great people!”

I thought so too.

The coolest thing is that I, Hyde, have written a book that other people will like!

chuck-.

Soon Advisor Jean Paer extended his hand towards me.

“Hyde. It’s an honor to meet someone like you. We are also particularly fond of your book, “The Village of Back-Alley Nymphs.” It is very effective when read to prisoners.”

Indeed!

For wicked sinners, my pure and innocent book “Village of Back-Alley Nymphs” must have been an effective enlightenment tool!

Just as the children of darkness hate light.

anyway.

Thanks to the fact that I had written the book well, I was able to get into the cage.

“Hecate. You said you would curse us to death, but specifically, how would you curse us? Can you do it even when you are tied up?”

“… … .”

Hecate glared at me.

It was a very scary sight.

If you could kill someone with your eyes, it would be like this.

However, humans were not creatures made so weak that they could die with the look of their eyes.

“There is no way you can kill someone with just a curse or a look. The world wasn’t created that way. In that sense, Jean-Payer. This woman, Hecate, is not a witch. Please release it.”

“What? However, Sir Roland ordered that this woman be locked up tightly and not to be released under any circumstances. And isn’t this woman clearly a witch?”

I see.

As expected, Roland’s will was deeply involved in imprisoning Hecate.

Black Knight Roland.

A man whose identity is hidden beneath black armor.

Has this man truly decided to oppose me?

It’s foolish.

“Special Advisor Jean Paer. Let me ask you. What is a witch?”

“Isn’t she a woman who uses magic and hexes?”

“Then has anyone seen this woman use magic and hexes? Or does it look like she’s using hexes now?”

“… … .”

Jean Paer, the rugged torturer, seemed a little taken aback by my story. He began to notice those around him and seemed to have no idea what to say.

Then, he said something as if he had finally thought of it.

“But isn’t that woman a big deal called the “Taboo Witch” even in Walpurgis? Wouldn’t it be a bit unreasonable to say that such a person is not a witch? .”

“Indeed. Does this mean that because this woman is called a witch, she is a witch? Then, what about Hyde, who is a more faithful and pious priest than anyone else and was chosen by God?”

“What? What did you say just now?”

“You all probably know because you’ve heard rumors about me! Hyde is said to be a priest who is more pious and faithful than anyone else and is chosen by God to live a second life! My words are the voice of the Lord Elohim, and my actions never deviate from the will of the Lord Elohim! Do you all agree?”

If the logical structure is that people call me a witch, so I am a witch, then I, Hyde, who people call a prophet, would truly be a prophet.

“That Hyde said, this woman is truly not a witch. She is just a woman who is a bit rude, smells like wool, and has freckles that are a bit unsophisticated.”

My authority came from the Lord Elohim.

In other words, my words were like the commands of the Lord Elohim, and no one dared reject them.

Sze-.

Tormentor Jean Paer frowns.

“Hyde, you are a greater prophet than anyone else. I’ve never heard such a rumor?”

“It’s a rumor that doesn’t exist if you haven’t heard it – is that what you mean?”

“That’s right.”

“Then, I have never heard a rumor that that woman, Hecate, is a taboo witch and a mean witch. In that case, that woman is no longer a witch.”

“Huh, indeed. Well, what-.”

Jean-Payer couldn’t say anything more and stuck out his tongue.

The torturers stopped what they were doing and looked at us, many of whom were prisoners who were being tortured.

The interior is bustling in many ways.

Soon someone appeared, radiating presence.

“You say something quite funny about a trivial sinner?”

It was a thin voice.

Togak, ttogak-.

Soon, someone came towards us, making a high-pitched sound.

It was a woman wearing tight-fitting steel plate armor that clearly exposed her body.

Her thighs were exposed white, and her rose-yellow, rich blonde hair was quite attractive.

The cross that shines between the large cleavage is golden.

Although she was dressed vulgarly, like a back alley prostitute, her true identity was like this.

“Gold Plated Knight Naive.”

“Do you know me?”

There’s no way you wouldn’t know.

I heard that “Naive of the Rose Thorns” was the highlight of the knights until Psyche came in, right?

But he was someone who should never be looked down on.

This woman is the leader of all the inquisitors and torturers.

In that sense, the gold-plated knight that heretics most hated to meet was Naive.

If a heretic had met her, it would mean that he had been captured and tortured in many ways.

Naib said.

“If you know who I am, you will also know what I hate most. I hate guys who make a fuss in front of me the most. you. Kill me?”

Sereung-.

Naib, the gold plated knight, picked up the whip he was wearing at his waist.

It was a whip studded with thorns.

If I get hit by that, my skin will not only peel off, but will be completely broken and shattered.

“Lord Naive!”

Sereung-.

Soon Psyche, who was standing next to me, drew her sword.

Looking at that, Gold Plated Knight Naib shrugged his shoulders.

“It’s a joke. But I can’t stand by and watch you make noise in my dungeon. Hyde. I mean I’m keeping my eyes on you. I have a hobby of collecting special sinners─.”

Sze-.

It was Naive stabbing my chest with the index finger of his gauntlet.

“You. Can you trust this witch to stay calm and not cause any accidents? If you can risk your life, I’ll let you go. how is it? You become the guarantor.”

Can I become the guarantor of the witch Hecate?

I looked at the bound witch Hecate.

witch.

Liars who speak with two mouths.

If you ask me if I can trust a woman like that—.

# # #

“You really freed Miss Hecate!”

Psyche was amazed.

This may be because Hecate is the first woman in the history of the kingdom who was imprisoned for witchcraft but was acquitted.

Actually, I knew this would happen.

“Gold Plate Knight Naib has a bad relationship with other knights. Even if Roland’s influence was involved in Hecate’s restraint, it would have made no difference to Naive.”

“Indeed… ! The reason I made so much noise and attracted people’s attention was to summon Lord Naib. I’ve only met Lord Naib a few times, so I wasn’t sure what his personality was like… .”

It was Psyche who smiled like she was embarrassed.

Milione taps Psyche’s side.

“Don’t laugh.”

“Evil! What is this? You’re hitting my side!”

I know!

Milione you naughty bitch!

How dare you hit Psyche’s side!

Just as I was about to get angry, Milione narrowed her eyes at the released Hecate.

“So what do we do now? If that witch goes on a rampage like this or causes any trouble, Hyde, you will be locked up by Naive’s minions. Then you will definitely die.”

Did I think risking my life to a witch was dangerous?

I decided to briefly tell you my plans.

“No matter what Hecate says or does, people will not believe or listen to her. He is a meaningless person as a witness in the first place. I realized it the moment Hecate was caught.”

“What? Then why did you release that woman?”

chuck-!

Milione pointed at Hecate, who was touching her wrist.

I left the growling Milione aside and spoke to Hecate.

“Hecate. You just say whatever you want. Rehoboam will probably be found not guilty no matter what. I’m sure he’ll have an incredibly powerful lawyer. A lawyer strong enough to make anyone innocent.”

“… … .”

Hecate frowned as if she didn’t understand.

There was no need for her to understand, so I finished explaining.

Now it’s time to gather people.
