The ceremony officially begins.
The Archbishop recited the sutra formally according to the rules and regulations of the Taifu Church.
Then the clerk of the Inquisition read out the verdict: "The heretic Birrell preached heresy... We, by the power of the Almighty Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit and the power of our clergy, sentence you to be burned at the stake to wash away your sins... Do you repent?"
Kalemi had already made up his mind, but in order to cooperate with Zheng Hui's performance, he still put on an expression of deep hatred and resentment.
With eyes wide open, he shouted to the people below with a righteous look: "Repent? I regret your mother's sin!"
"The king bled to death! He was deceived by the church. There is no such thing as evil spirits!"
"You idiots, you know that bleeding an animal will kill it, but when it happens to a human, you blame it on some evil spirit? Bullshit, pure bullshit!"
"Your lies can deceive people for a while, but can they deceive people forever? The Taifu Church is a bunch of sanctimonious rubbish, and the old fool the Pope..."
Kalemi was getting better and better, becoming more and more arrogant, and the people below gasped.
An absolute heretic, and I’ve never seen anyone so arrogant before!
The archbishop and clerk who were closest to him had faces that turned pale red. The archbishop waved his hands downward frantically, calling people forward.
Kalemi was still blasting: "Aren't you curious about where all those little boys go every year?"
"You know it in your heart, but you just keep it to yourself, right? Fine, I'll tell you today..." "Pah!"
Without waiting for the people below to come up, the archbishop jumped forward and slapped Kalemi hard in the face.
The blow was so ruthless and accurate that blood immediately flowed from the corner of Kalemi's mouth.
Kalemi looked directly at the archbishop coldly, with the courage to face death: "Why don't you let me speak!"
"Perhaps you were more frightened when the verdict was read than I was when I heard it."
"How many scams have you created? Let me tell you, there has never been a geocentric theory in this world. The earth under our feet revolves around the sun..."
"Pa!" Another slap hit Kalemi's face hard.
The archbishop was furious and called for help from below.
Although he suffered two consecutive heavy blows, the grievances that had accumulated in the dungeon for seven consecutive days were not vented at all.
Kalemi yelled: "Do you know what science is? Fire can destroy me, but it will illuminate the truth. The darkness will soon pass, the dawn will soon come, and the truth will eventually...ah~~!"
He was shouting so loudly when the helper below finally came up and stuffed a special pair of pliers into Kalemi's mouth, accurately clamping his tongue.
The inquisition officer holding the forceps stretched it outward with all his strength, and Kalemi didn't dare to press any further.
With tears in his eyes, he begged for mercy incoherently.
The little king and Duke Alvis were completely shocked, and they murmured, "He's crazy! He's completely crazy! How dare he say such a thing..."
The archbishop was so angry that he jumped up and down, shouting, "Light the fire! Burn this heretic to death!!!"
At the same time.
Zheng Hui and Lai Gou'er drew their swords and attacked, and in a flash they held the defenseless little king and Duke Alvis hostage.
He immediately shouted again: "Do it!!!"
At this moment, time in the square seemed to freeze.
From Kalemi shouting heresy just now to the king and the duke being kidnapped, this sudden change is really hard to react to.
However, when the first attack was sounded, the Dajing sailors who were in ambush immediately shouted.
The continuous sounds of fighting instantly spread throughout the square.
The sailors hiding in the first row immediately lifted their turbans, drew their swords and broke through the line of defense of the soldiers under the execution platform.
No one expected that such a turn of events would occur just by simply dealing with a heresy.
Therefore, the current deployment is all according to the conventional arrangements, and there are simply not many people!
Especially since the king and the duke were kidnapped, the soldiers' attention was still on the viewing stand on the other side.
Caught off guard, more than a dozen people rushed out and quickly killed the soldiers and court officials under the execution platform.
Then, a sailor rushed to the stage, stabbed to death the officer of the Court of Inquiry who still held Kalemi's tongue, and cut the ropes that bound her.
With tears in his eyes, Kalemi shouted despite the severe pain: "Catch the fat guy! He is the archbishop, and we can't kill him!"
Seeing several pairs of green eyes looking at him, the archbishop trembled all over and prepared to run away.
But the next second, several long knives were placed on his neck at the same time!
The crowd of onlookers was in chaos and fled in all directions.
Looking at the chaos in front of him, Duke Alvis calmed down and said through gritted teeth: "Why? Just for a lowly sailor, you dare to disregard the relationship between the two countries?"
Lai Gou'er forced him to walk towards the chaotic crowd. Now some brothers had begun to pick up people and retreat.
He was about to approach her, and as he walked he said, "No... maybe he was a lowly sailor before. But now he is a citizen of Dajing, and also my comrade-in-arms. He was also a Jinyiwei. Do you know what Jinyiwei is? That is my eldest brother's power, the face of Dajing."
"Just for this reason, you want to go to war with Feka and the entire church!?" Duke Alvis was furious.
"This reason is enough. Do you know what kind of person my eldest brother is? He can fight against the powerful and wealthy for the sake of the people...so can I." Lai Gou'er put a sharp knife against the Duke's waist and led his men to climb onto the horse that had been prepared for him.
After rescuing Kalemi, some sailors left quickly. Most of the people around had already dispersed, and a large number of Feika's officers and soldiers had quickly rushed to the square.
