Blood of Mercury

"I'll tell you the truth, you're guilty."

There was a faint glint in Xila's eyes, and his tone was solemn: "No need to explain - no matter the reason, you burned the neighbor's house, which is a sin. Although you didn't hurt his life, the fire spread to several houses, killing him. Their property has become nothing. Since you cannot repay their losses, if you do not put you into this prison for permanent labor, how will their resentment be quelled?"

At this moment, Xila's hands were shackled, her ankles were locked with iron chains, and the other end of the chain was deeply nailed to the wall, like a sinner who was about to be executed.

He was dressed in a tattered, mud-stained white sackcloth robe, and the bloodstains of being whipped could be seen on his torn sleeves. But his spine was still straight, and his voice was steady and powerful, as if he was still standing in the lecture hall in his red coat.

"Besides, they have already lost their home. Their wives and daughters will suffer because of this, they will be sick and not cured, they will not be able to eat in the year of disaster. They will not be able to work day and night. You will cause trouble for others and destroy their happiness. life, you are naturally guilty."

"But, my lord," a thin teenager knelt down in front of him, his voice full of distress and sorrow, "I burned their house because their words and actions hurt my parents. Tyre taught us, We must respect our parents and protect them like our hearts and lungs... Then what's wrong with my actions? And they put me in jail and can't repay their losses, it's better to let me work and pay them back Money builds houses."

"No, it's not like that."

Xila sighed and shook her head: "Their mistakes, they need to be repaid. You have no right to judge, and you have no right to execute. If everyone in this world was like this, then the world would have been in chaos... This world The law is needed, and those who break the law must be punished, like me, and you. Indeed. It doesn't do them any good to put you in jail, but it can remind future people not to break the law, just as people live in this world. It is for suffering, but the suffering they have suffered. It can always make future generations suffer a little less. This is the meaning of human life.”

Many people knelt down reverently before Shera. These people were also dressed in sackcloth, but they were not wearing shackles. The dim evening light squeezed in from the narrow window above, and sporadic snowflakes fell, freezing their skin red.

These are people who have committed serious crimes, but their sins do not lead to death.

Without exception. Everyone here, including Cyrah, is a sinner, and unless the Pope himself forgives them, they will not leave for the rest of their lives.

Once they were cunning, evil, and ruthless, but these sharp edges that could cut themselves and others have been honed in years of captivity. Here, they need to work all day, and work all their lives to atone for their sins, and every month there are people who die because of heavy work and rest and sickness.

Syrah is the only exception here. He doesn't have to work, but he works harder than these people.

When he was brought in, his tongue was cut off and the bones of his hands and feet were broken. Eyes were gouged out. But after just one night, the injury on his body recovered naturally.

This is an unquestionable miracle-because half of the people in this prison have or have had the priesthood of Tyre, the main function of this prison is to ban Priest Tyre's magic.

Here, prayer is useless. The voice of the most devout priest cannot reach Tyre, because it is a holy place blessed by the authority of Jupiter.

So Cyrah's "miracle" significantly angered the warden.

Because this means that what he has mastered is not the magic of Tyre, or that Cyra has a higher authority than Jupiter IV - no matter what kind, it is enough for him to express his love towards Cyra from the bottom of his heart. feel disgusted.

"Don't confuse everyone, heresy! If Tyre still favors you, you can come out of here with a great miracle! If not, it means that your **** is not here!"

These were the last words of the warden who saw the wounds on his body recover as the sun rose every day after he had been flogging the miraculously recovered Cyra for several days. For some unknown reason, the welts on Sheila's body on the last day did not recover as they did at the beginning.

But because the warden didn't even want to look at Sheila, he didn't come over after so many days. So he didn't know what happened to Cyrah.

Because of his personal malice, Xila's food was directly scratched out by him. And Syrah, who had not eaten for several days, eventually caught the attention of other sinners. So with the consciousness of a cardinal, even though he was hungry and thirsty, Sheila still spoke to these sinners with a hoarse voice, enlightened them, and comforted them.

in just three days. The incomparably pure Cyrah has completely gained the trust of these sinners. He became the venerated target of these sinners.

At every meal of the day, these sinners spontaneously gave him food and water, and were thrilled by it. This kind of behavior brought them a sense of redemptive satisfaction, and soon, this behavior spontaneously formed an order. The sinners worked every day, came back to lectures, worked and came back to lectures, and their mental state has improved significantly.

Seeing these people, Xila was filled with emotion.

Once upon a time, he also once thought that these people who committed great sins were ungodly and unkind. And Roland's words changed him: "Why do you think that only Tyre's justice is the only justice?"

This sentence deeply touched Xila and caused him to think.

Tyre is the only **** of justice, and the concept of justice is defined by Tyre. It seems that it is not wrong to say that Tyre's justice is the only justice.

However, does this mean that all Tyr's enemies are unjust? If they are righteous, then why attack them? If they are unjust, doesn't that mean that everyone other than Banza is unforgivable?

But now, seeing these sinners who have made big mistakes, but still have conscience and morality in their hearts, and seeing these former priests and former Templars who serve Tyre devoutly but are imprisoned, in Xila's heart, The concept of "justice" has been turned upside down.

If it was him before, he would never say a word to these "sinners". Just being in the same room with them makes the air feel horny. But now, Sheila realized that these people were just some poor people.

They were at fault, but it was never entirely their fault.

For example, in this young man, his mother was paralyzed on the bed, and his father was a craftsman. Once his father found someone else's jewelry, he decided to stay behind to make up for the family, but then he was beaten by the owner, and his hands were discounted and unable to work. Only later did I know that the jewelry was a very valuable enchanted item, and its owner was a big businessman. A thief was found immediately after stealing his belongings, and then dropped in a hasty escape, unseen by the merchant's men, but picked up by his father.

Although his father was beaten by the merchant's subordinates, the boy did not dare to take revenge on the merchant. But at this moment, he learned that it was the neighbor who reported to the businessman that it was his father who brought the jewelry back, so the businessman regarded his father as the thief and dismissed him as a habitual offender. only hand. So the young man became wicked and courageous, and set fire to the neighbor's house.

But then ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the fire spread. Because of the dry weather, the fire finally burned down half a street before being extinguished. Dozens of houses were burned down, and even children and elderly people were burned. The teenager caused a loss that he could never make up for in his life. If it wasn't for his father and mother kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, and he didn't really burn anyone to death, the teenager even went into the prison and waited for the chance to **** None, but will be executed directly.

But is he really wrong? It is true that there is something wrong to say - in Tyre's teaching, arson is indeed a felony, but he did not set it out of pure malice. Also allowed by Thiel.

His neighbor did commit a crime, too. Slander is also a crime, but it is very light; businessmen are also guilty of driving their subordinates to hurt people and need to be fined. But the merchants and neighbors thought the boy's father was a thief, and in their view, they were also on the side of justice.

Look at these people here - these unforgivable sinners and heretics, all of them holding their own righteousness, all of them thinking they were right.

Justice is a hard thing to understand.

Sheila sighed deeply and felt lost because of it. (To be continued.)
