Chapter 582
【In fear!】
【Fearing the surging and twisting thing in the shadow behind this girl, the incredible, unreasonable trace of a great existence.】
【That was a greatness that transcended all instincts and made his very existence tremble.】
【No matter how he roared in his heart, no matter how he unleashed his will, it was meaningless.】
【Until a trace of vitality gradually appeared in the hollow shell of the blonde little girl, as if she had finally awakened.】
【Blinking her eyes, she seemed to realize something, restrained the influence of the twisting squirming, and said timidly.】
【"Master, sorry, Abi was just talking to the consciousness of the container."】
【No answer.】
【This kind of majesty and aura was too powerful for a man who was not even a mage.】
【Thump.】
【The unimaginable terror faded, the silver-haired man's body softened, he knelt on the ground, supporting the ground and breathing violently.】
【"This... is this... a Servant?"】
【"Is this the will above the wheel of suppression?"】
【His pupils contracted incredibly, breathing violently.】
【All the expectations and plans before the summoning seemed like a joke at this moment.】
【One look at you, and you die before you can react.】
【In front of such an existence, what is the use of the mandatory nature of Command Spells?】
【At this moment, he finally knew that this Holy Grail War was definitely not a so-called country ritual.】
【The Holy Grail, known as the omnipotent cauldron and wish-granting machine, was definitely not as simple as the boss thought.】
【But...】
【He tried to lift his heavy head and looked at the blonde little girl who was rolling the hem of her skirt as if she knew she had done something wrong.】
【Is it a warning?】
【Was it just warning me not to really treat her as some subordinate?】
【Finally having a cognition of Servants, he would no longer treat the little girl in front of him as a little girl.】
【"No... no problem, may I ask which hero in history you are..."】
【In the horrified gaze of Vodka, who was lying more thoroughly on the side, "Oh my god, Big Brother actually smiled," Gin tried to squeeze out a warm smile and asked.】
【"Abi... Abigail Williams."】
【The black-skirted blonde girl pulled the hem of her skirt timidly.】
【"Abigail, Williams?"】
【The silver-haired man's eyes revealed the poverty of a poor student.】
【Even the high achiever Vodka frowned.】
【Who is this...】
【Which country's history has such a female murderer?】
【Uh, that's not right, it may not be a woman, after all, King Arthur can be a girl.】
【But there is no such person among the male tyrants and butchers.】
【With such a terrifying, cruel, and ominous aura, if she hasn't killed 100,000 or 80,000 people, I, Vodka, will stand on my head and eat shit.】
【Hmm... no, it may not be killing...】
【Suddenly.】
【Vodka's eyes widened and he blurted out: "Salem Witch Trials!!"】
Almost at the same time.
There was a gasp of cold air all over the world.
【"At the end of the 17th century, in Salem, Masazhusaizhou, USA, under an extreme religious atmosphere."】
【"They believed that all disasters were caused by the devil."】
【"When nine-year-old Elizabeth Parris and 11-year-old Abigail Williams in the town behaved strangely due to food poisoning."】
【"They immediately thought they were bewitched by a wizard or possessed by a demon."】
【"The priests demanded they point out who had used witchcraft on them."】
【"At that time, the crime of witchcraft was clearly written into US law."】
【"In 1692, Abigail Williams, as the plaintiff, accused three women of witchcraft."】
【"One was released, one was executed, and one was tortured to death in prison."】
【"But the matter did not end there. Abigail's accusation was just a fuse. The wave of trials against witches spread rapidly. All homeless women were identified as witches and taken away by local law enforcement for torture."】
【"Anyone who dared to doubt was treated as an accomplice and locked in prison. Even the governor ordered the design of a special tribunal to execute witches."】
A piece of silence.
After a long time.
Only then did someone say coldly: "This is the 17th century? The Federation a few years before the 18th century?"】
【"What do you think? It wasn't until his own wife was accused of being a witch that he stopped the witch trials and dissolved the tribunal."】
【"Hilarious, only knowing pain when the fire burns to oneself, right?"】
【"Pain my ass, their goal had already been achieved. Even though it was over at the time, the victims still couldn't be... because they couldn't pay the detention fees."】
【"Because the government confiscated their property."】
【"It wasn't until 1992 that the Masazhusaizhou legislature passed a resolution to formally restore the reputation of the victims of this miscarriage of justice. Damn, I was three years old then."】
【"Holy shit, eating the household!"】
【"What do you think? It was for the sake of eating the household."】
【"Like many countries in ancient times, without military support, single women are the easiest to bully, especially rich widows."】
【"Accused of being a witch, thrown into the river, if she doesn't move after sinking, it means she is not a witch."】
【"If she floats up, it means she is a witch, tied to a stake and burned alive."】
【"Then the property is divided two-one, you three, I seven."】
Someone sneered: "Where is it so simple? At that time, there was an authoritative book on judging witches in Europe."】
【"It taught you in detail how to identify and judge witches."】
【"How to identify?"】
【"I'll introduce a few simply."】
【"If she behaves with dignity when interrogated, then clearly the devil is disguising."】
【"If she feels afraid, then clearly it is her residual humanity that reveals her flaws."】
【"If she defends that she is not, then clearly she is, because witches love to lie most."】
【"If she is silent or shivering, this is clearly because she was hit, the best evidence of her guilt."】
【"If she can endure when tortured to death, clearly it is because the devil gives her power, and the torture should be increased."】
【"If she dies, it means the devil doesn't want her to leak secrets..."】
【"Spanning hundreds of years, nearly ten million people died in such stupid, barbaric, and cruel abuse."】
People felt their scalps go numb and could no longer listen.】
【"Stop talking, stop talking, damn it, stop talking, damn it, I feel a suffocating terror..."】
Many people shuddered.】
It's not that they haven't seen beasts, but they haven't seen such beasts.】
Once substituted, there is a suffocating sense of powerlessness.】
This is not about whether the law is fair or not, this is about wanting you to die from all directions, wanting to eat your flesh and drink your blood.】
When others look at you opening your mouth, you are sentenced to death.】
What awaits you is torture that even rebels can't enjoy, cruelty to death.】
Many people felt cold in their hearts.】
【"Abigail's records mysteriously disappeared after the witch trials, and legend has it that she left the town and never appeared again."】
【"Damn, I know why this Servant emits such a terrifying aura, vaguely seeing countless incomplete and ferocious female corpses."】
【"Yes, I suspect it is the resentment of the witch trials spanning the Middle Ages and modern times lingering on her. Damn, nearly ten million people, some Heroic Spirits didn't even have that many before."】
【"Only eleven years old at the time, food poisoning was said to be possessed by a demon, a group of devil-like priests surrounded and questioned her, just don't know if she took the initiative to accuse the witch, or if it was found from her words."】
