Chapter 226 The Last Female Witch (31 End)
The person that Tokiho let go was Princess Alisa.
When the nobles and the church were fighting fiercely, she did not help anyone. Instead, she used her status as a princess to take the opportunity to send several nobles with criminal records to the gallows, thus clearing the country of these harmful officials.
She had never been in favor of the witch hunt, but after meeting Tokiho and Chimina, she stood even more firmly on their side.
Shisui had communicated face to face with Princess Elisa several times and admired her character very much. However, she was still young and lacked some skills, so Shisui gave her a lot of advice on political struggles.
Before sending Alisa back to the royal capital, Tokiho entrusted Qimina to her.
After this period of experience, Qimina is no longer the ignorant girl she used to be.
From the very beginning, Shisui said that it was impossible to keep her by his side all the time.
She confessed to Princess Elisa that Zimina actually did not know witchcraft, and she also seriously sought the opinions of both parties.
After considering for a few days, the two girls finally fell in love with each other.
Zimina's courage and enthusiasm, and Princess Elisa's rationality and sincerity attracted each other.
Thus, Zimina became the first gypsy in the history of the dynasty to be with a royal princess.
...After Princess Alisa left, Tokiho completely let go and got to work.
The village of Santa Cruz became a living hell.
Except for the civilians protected by Tokiho, the other powerful people were either tortured to death or killed by Tokiho himself. No one was spared.
Viscount Santa Cruz and his wife, princes and nobles, Cardinal Gerry and his men, anyone who had ever been behind the witch hunt was not spared.
The manor and the church were littered with corpses, attracting a large number of vultures to come and eat them.
The terrifying legend about the "witch" Tokiho spread from the village to the next village, and from the next village to the next village... all the way to the royal capital and the center of the church.
And Santa Cruz Village is just the beginning.
In the next few months, Shisui used the same method to kill more cardinals, bishops and sinful nobles one after another.
A witch caused chaos everywhere, but the church and the army were completely unable to cope with it. The kings and popes of the country and even the neighboring countries were very worried.
…
In the Cathedral of the Holy Rosary where the Pope resides.
The king and his family had just attended mass here.
He conferred with the Pope in a secret room.
"Your Holiness, I believe you have heard about the recent witch incident, right..." The king hesitated and began, "My sister Elisa once met that witch. I heard that her only request was to abolish the witch hunt..."
The king is essentially a coward.
Earlier in the village of Santa Cruz, when the news of the prince provoking the priests came to light, he immediately reprimanded the nobles and personally apologized to the Pope.
But the continuous witch incidents caused complaints everywhere and panic among the people, which shook his ruling position and he could no longer sit still.
The Pope understood what the king meant and wanted him to abolish the witch hunt.
In fact, he had heard his subordinates report many times about the power of this witch and the deaths of so many clergymen. He felt both hatred and fear in his heart.
But the Pope couldn't save face after all.
The church's biggest concern is public credibility. If a long-standing witch hunt is abolished because of a single witch, the public's trust in them will be severely undermined.
...The Pope flatly refused and sent the king away.
"Lord, Christ, we adore and praise you. You have redeemed the world with this Holy Cross. Please have mercy on us..."
He knelt alone in front of the altar to pray, holding the rosary in his hands and mechanically reciting the scriptures that he had memorized by heart.
But in his mind, he was thinking about how to deal with that troublesome witch.
The candles around flickered, and it felt like a light breeze was blowing through the closed room.
The Pope raised his tired, wrinkled eyelids...and the rosary in his hand suddenly broke without any warning!
The Pope looked down at the 59 ivory rosary beads rolling all over the floor, feeling a strong sense of unease.
He looked up at the marble statue of Christ carrying the cross on the altar... and nearly had a heart attack!
Shi Sui crossed her legs and sat in front of the statue, her eyes raised high and her smile wild.
"Witch?!" The Pope stood up with difficulty.
"We often lament our own suffering, forgetting that our brothers and sisters are suffering the same, or even worse, experiences... Is this a scripture you know by heart?"
Tokiho jumped down from the statue of Christ and shouted coldly to the Pope.
"You talk about morality and justice, but you're actually carrying out this unjust act of witch hunting. Aren't you ashamed?"
The Pope acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water and said: "Oh, I am old and will soon meet God. Even if you put a knife to my neck, I will not withdraw my order!!"
"How ridiculous! Do you really think you can see God? What awaits you is only a bottomless hell!!"
Tokiho knocks over the statue of Christ and performs a magic trick.
In a second, blood shot up into the sky in the church, and the ground turned into a gloomy red Shura world like a red-hot iron block.
Tall statues of devils stood tall, and the ground was littered with broken limbs, hands, feet, heads, bones... flying everywhere.
The Pope was shocked by the purgatory before him and wanted to escape, but his feet were grabbed by countless pairs of pale arms that emerged from the ground.
Those were women who had been falsely accused of being witches and wrongfully killed.
They set fire to his body, ate his flesh, and picked his bones.
The Pope screamed and was dragged into the abyss of hell by the overwhelming fear.
…
The Pope shouted, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.
He looked around in shock and found that he was in his room, surrounded by his subordinates who were chanting and praying for him.
"Your Holiness, you've finally woken up!" the subordinate cried bitterly, tears streaming down his face. "You fainted while chanting and were unconscious for three whole days!"
The Pope touched his chest and took a long time to calm down.
The first thing he said to his subordinates was: "Help me draft an order to abolish the witch hunt order..."
…
The Witch Hunt Order was officially abolished.
But because of excessive panic, the old Pope died of a heart attack a few days later.
His successor came to power amidst a turbulent situation.
Tokiho didn't stop there.
It was one thing to abolish the witch hunt, but it was another to clear innocent girls of the charges of witchcraft.
Shi Sui continued to appear and disappear, threatening the new Pope: "If you don't obey, I have ten thousand ways to torture you slowly... As long as the wronged souls can rest in peace, then I will naturally disappear as well."
The new Pope was afraid of repeating the mistakes of the old Pope. As soon as he took office, he blamed all the casualties caused by the witch hunt on the old Pope, announced to the world that there were no witches in the world, and ordered churches everywhere to hold a grand mass for the deceased.
After the internal conflicts between the nobles and the church, Princess Elisa took the opportunity to gradually gain some military power, adding bricks and tiles to her path to becoming queen, and Zimina became her very important and capable assistant.
The great thing was accomplished, and Shisui found a quiet village for the original owner so that she could start a new life.
After leaving a lot of treasures to the original owner, Shisui left her body.
The last witch in the world disappeared overnight and became a mysterious legend recorded in rural history.
