Chapter 177 Being a Witch in the Tongzhang World 13
This is not the first "witch" that Zhuyin has rescued.
She did not show up immediately, but hid in the dark, waiting for subsequent developments.
The priest stared in horror at the unharmed girl in the fire, and it was difficult for him to maintain a compassionate and holy expression.
At this moment, a man shouted, "Oh my God! She doesn't seem to be in any pain in the holy fire!"
He even approached tentatively as he spoke, and his dirty fingers passed through the flames.
The burning pain frightened him.
He didn't dare to show it at all: This is the holy fire blessed by the gods, it will only burn witches! If I can get burned? Then wouldn't it be...
The plump woman said in a sharp voice: "How can anyone not be afraid of being burned by flames!"
She looked at the girl with fear and disgust: "She's a monster!"
The girl named Jenny looked at everything in front of her numbly.
She didn't know why the fire didn't hurt her.
Her dull eyes swept around everyone, and everyone she saw turned their heads away in panic, not daring to look her in the face.
She suddenly felt extremely sad.
They said she was a witch and must be burned on the rack.
Only by going through the test of the holy fire can her innocence be proven.
But now, she has gone through the test of the holy fire and proved her innocence.
These people...are even more afraid of her.
After the sorrow, a tremendous power suddenly grew in the body.
She struggled to free herself from the ropes that bound her and sat up.
Staring straight at the priest, he asked, "Can I now be considered to have passed the test of the holy fire, Your Excellency?"
The priest's face turned pale and blue: "Oh...Oh! Of course!"
He adjusted his expression and looked at Jenny lovingly: "My poor child, it must be the devil who blinded the eyes of the poor people, so that a kind child like you was mistaken for an evil witch."
He ordered the villagers: "Go and bring Jenny down quickly!"
No one dared to move.
Not to mention, there was a raging fire burning where Jenny was.
No one dared to approach an alien that was not burned by the flames.
Jenny ignored them and climbed down from the fire by herself. The crowd subconsciously stepped back.
She didn't look at her neighbors in the village, nor at the respected priest, and limped home with her injured body.
Everyone looked at her in silence. After a long while, someone muttered, "Your Excellency the priest is here. She is so rude..."
Jenny didn't care what they said about her. She ran back to her shabby home, found a piece of clean cloth, and wrapped up all the valuable things in the house.
"What do you want to do?" A low voice sounded from behind her.
Jenny turned around in panic, saw who was coming, and her eyes suddenly widened.
She had never seen such a stunning, shocking, and terrifying appearance.
For a moment, Nene was speechless.
Zhu Yin was already used to this kind of reaction, so she patiently asked again.
Jenny came back to her senses from the inexplicable shock. She looked at Zhu Yin carefully and suddenly realized: "It was you, was it you who saved me from the fire?"
She once believed in God devoutly.
Until her parents died of illness, and until she herself was branded as "ominous" and "evil".
Until she refused some unfair and even insulting requests, and inexplicably became an evil witch and was to be burned at the stake.
She called out to God in despair, but no miracle came to save her.
There is no doubt that this tall woman in a black dress has long black hair and scarlet eyes that seem to come from the abyss of hell.
"Are you a witch?"
Zhu Yin nodded: "As you can see, I am a witch."
Jenny suddenly laughed out loud.
The church wanted her life, but a witch saved herself.
"I want to get out of here," she said.
"There are no evil witches here, but they are scarier than witches."
Zhu Yin said calmly: "But you have already proved your innocence. They can no longer use this crime to judge you in the future."
Jenny shook her head and laughed miserably: “But, if they want, there will be others even if there is no such crime.”
What's more, she remembered the way those people looked at her when she was sitting in the fire.
She must not stay here any longer.
"Where are you going to go after leaving here?"
The girl was at a loss: "I don't know either, but..."
"Well, maybe you are interested in becoming a witch?"
Jenny turned her head in surprise.
The black-haired witch smiled at her: "Have you ever heard of a saying?"
"When they accuse you of being a witch, you better really are one."
Jenny repeated this sentence softly, her eyes getting brighter and brighter.
She had seen several witches being "executed".
Those poor women looked no different from ordinary people, and there was no substantial evidence for the crimes piled on them.
On the contrary, she had never seen someone like Zhuyin - a real witch - being reported, caught, and tried.
Mortals can only stand in awe of her.
Zhu Yin accepted a little follower.
Because she realized that the "Forest Witch" is a fixed character, just like an NPC that must exist in the game.
As long as someone goes to Moonlight Forest and pays a price to make a request, she has to satisfy them.
She has to find a successor.
Maybe, not many.
The real witch and her trainee witches traveled through many towns and villages. When they returned to the Moonlight Forest, there were already four trainee witches.
During this time, Eudora, who returned to the Kingdom of Cabos, had gained the trust of the king, ministers, and even her sister Ophelia.
Except for the queen who still hated her stepdaughter, everyone recognized that their eldest princess was a beautiful, intelligent, capable and unique heir.
The king wanted to choose a suitable marriage partner for his beloved eldest princess.
He told this idea to the queen whom he trusted.
The queen became very angry when she heard this.
Because the king said that he would spread the news, not only the young men of his own country, but also the princes, nobles, and warriors of other countries could also come and ask for the princess' hand in marriage.
Such an honor... Such an honor...
This will make Eudora's reputation spread across the entire continent!
The queen was very angry and gave the king a bowl of magic potion, which made him completely forget the idea.
Eudora, who received the news from the confidant planted in the Queen's palace, said: "..."
Also good.
As long as the king didn't have such a whim from time to time, he could still be considered a good father.
It just so happens that she doesn't want to get married now, it's still too early.
She needs more power.
