Chapter 401 7.55 Trial of Heretics (3)

"Witness, your name."

The first witness summoned was a thin young man with a pale face, who even swayed from side to side when he walked. When he stood in the witness position, he looked back at Loki.

His eyes were full of fear.

"Dear judge, my name is Manuel Huiyu."

"I am the flower farmer responsible for growing White Cloud Night in the 'White Cloud Canyon'."

"Him!" The witness turned around and pointed behind him, pointing at Loki, "I can prove that it was he who colluded with the evil god and turned many of our compatriots into those horrible monsters that look like strange fish!"

"It has long been rumored in the Normandy region that the Duke of Normandy is not a subject of Odin!"

"He is a believer of the evil god of unknown origin!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience heard the sound of discussion again. Ethan hit the gavel hard again, and when the audience was silent. He turned his head and looked at Loki.

"Is what the witness said true?"

"Are you really not a believer of Odin?"

"Haha" Loki laughed dryly twice and admitted generously: "I am not."

"My Lord, a believer of the evil god actually ruled Odin's people! I really don't know if the 'God King Odin' will thank me when I die."

Ethan smiled and looked at Loki. He liked his prey to fall into the trap. The whole interrogation was carried out completely according to his established 'script'.

He enjoyed the feeling of having everything under control.

Only at this time, the still calm Viking Duke and the Viking warriors standing silently behind the crowd made him feel a little uneasy.

(Why didn't the Vikings react when they heard that he was not a believer of Odin?)

(Could it be that they already knew this secret?)

"God King Odin will thank you." Loki looked back at Ethan without fear, "Maybe he will take you to Valhalla today, hehe"

The strange smile on Loki's face made him feel a little chilly. With a cold snort, he ordered the summoning of the second witness.

"Sir, on the morning of April 12, I saw with my own eyes that 12 French mercenaries died under the axe of Duke Loki. He slaughtered them like dogs"

"But this bloodthirsty demon was not satisfied!"

"After just one hour, he summoned a force of more than a thousand people, roaring that they would rush into Yun Province and kill all the people of France and England."

"God King Odin hasn't seen enough!"

"If I remember correctly, this demon passed by the door of my farm while roaring this sentence!"

Ethan was about to speak, but Loki interrupted him first.

"Hey, old man, the French man in front just said that I turned the French people into monster fish, and you said that I led the army to kill people."

"So I, the 'evil god', turned them into monsters first, and then led the army to kill these monster fish?"

"I was very tired on the morning of April 12th"

Dongdongdong!

Realizing that something was wrong, Judge Ethan knocked the gavel in his hand again.

"The prisoner has no right to talk to the witness! If you do it again, I will regard you as contempt of justice!"

"Whether you are guilty or not will be decided by the jury. If I were you, I would shut up and avoid any unnecessary whipping!"

Smiling and nodding, Loki returned to his seat again.

Then, this English "actor" gave a passionate performance. In his accusation, he seemed to have transformed into a ghost following Loki all the time, "seeing" them drawing swords to kill people, and "seeing" him stabbing Andre Jarvan to death with one knife.

Perhaps he had memorized the lines too well, so he completely forgot the first French flower farmer's accusation of Loki as an "evil god".

Faced with this farce-like trial, Loki had no idea what else to do except keep smiling.

The fools in the Middle Ages had never watched TV dramas, listened to radio, and even popular literature almost did not exist in this era.

Their brains had very limited cognition of "logical thinking".

If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext.

After a long and tormenting period of time, the English farmer finally left. A considerable number of medieval people who had not been baptized by any TV dramas, movies, or popular literature actually believed his story and cast angry eyes at Loki.

In this strange atmosphere, the third witness walked in.

If the first two "witnesses" designed by the French in advance only made him smile, the third witness made him tighten the smile on his face involuntarily.

He actually saw an acquaintance.

"Bloodhand Wayne?" Loki murmured with his eyes wide open.

Rubbing his eyes vigorously, he looked at Wenzof behind him and found that the chief steward behind him was also confused.

**

The Viking pirate who gave Loki the most headache in Hanshui Village was none other than "Bloodhand" Wayne.

In the popular words of later generations, this was a psychopath with a long-term tendency to "self-destruction". But in the dark Middle Ages, they had another name - fanatics.

They regarded themselves as the most loyal servants of the gods.

"Bloodhand" Wayne was such a person. He stubbornly believed that Odin sent him to the world just to enjoy one wonderful killing after another.

Therefore, he had no bottom line when killing people.

No reason or purpose was needed.

Maybe he just entered a hotel and saw a heavily armored swordsman. He could approach quietly and then cut the man's neck with a knife.

Everyone felt that his almost pathological killing behavior could not be called a hero.

Only he firmly believed that the gods in the Hall of Valor liked to see this.

Sooner or later, they would see his "efforts" and then promote him to the Chosen One.

**

To be honest, Bloody Wayne was kind to Hanshui Village when Loki's biological father "Manggus Starlag" was alive.

When the village was poor and most people could not even afford two meals a day, this bloodthirsty pirate with no bottom line plundered a lot of property for the village by stealing from the robbers and killing without a goal and endlessly.

Wayne did not love money.

He enjoyed the process of killing far more than the amount of spoils he got from the corpses.

This may be his only redeeming feature. Many poor women and children who lost their fathers all survived by relying on his unrestrained "indiscriminate killing of innocent people".

But this fanatic of Odin happened to be a person with extremely strong vitality.

Years of continuous fighting caused most people in the village to die in the war. When his companions died one by one, "Blood Hand" Wayne miraculously survived.

This made him more convinced that the gods in Asgard were "appreciating" his performance.

They were reluctant to take him back to Valhalla.
