Chapter 198: Poor
Poor old doctor, did he really not see that this was a trap against him, or did he not bear to see these unreasonable strong men carrying his dying patients in front of him?
He didn't know where he got the courage, three steps and two steps, and actually ran up to stop those strong men.
"Stop, you can't take him away!" The old doctor Bella shouted, and suddenly, out of nowhere, the strength came from to push down the strong man who was carrying the slave. The brawny man fell to the ground with a scream, his eyes full of horror, as he looked at Dr. Bella
An old man, who seemed to be powerless, inadvertently pushed down a tall and strong man. It is likely that this strong man has an element of performance, but under the eyes of everyone, hearing is false, seeing is believing, and now everyone has seen this scene.
"Hey, hey, hey! Look, come and see, faithful believers of God! As if seizing this hard-won opportunity, the nobleman, with his loud voice, solemnly announced to the commoners who were watching around him, Doctor Bella, this powerful wizard or heretic hidden beneath his thin skin.
Believe, what reason is there not to believe? The strong man was still trembling on the ground, and the old man who started it looked at him with a puzzled expression, and looked around again.
"It turns out he's a heretic." There was such a voice in the crowd, and it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and gradually, three people, six people, twelve people...... More and more people began to open and shut up about Dr. Bella, saying that he was a heretic, a wizard. The voices of dozens of them came together.
"Heretics, wizards, heretics, wizards!"
Dr. Bella became the target of public criticism in that instant, and the citizens who came and went around also joined in the ranks of denouncing Dr. Bella as a heretic.
"Look, look, faithful believers of God, wise subjects of the Roman Empire, warriors who dare to attack heresy!" It was in the midst of the cries of the masses that the nobleman took the opportunity to use his skillful and incendiary language: "My poor little attendant, who is now trembling under the eyes of the murderous wizard, oh, do you see? Look at the look of fear in his eyes, the sorcerer planted nightmares deep in his head, he wants to shake his faith in God, drain his soul from his kingdom and fall into the abyss, look, evil fellow! So saying, he looked again at the speechless slave, who did not dare to look at him, for fear he avoided the eyes of the nobles. But this did not affect this nobleman, who had already sharpened his teeth after many trainings, and saw that he looked anxiously at the slave lying on the ground, "Look at my servant again, oh my, look at me, you speak, what did he do to you?" "When the slave did not answer him, how could the slave answer him? He was speechless, but the nobleman immediately came to the conclusion that the poor fellow had been used by the sorcerer for his experiments, and that the evil Bella had cursed him and extracted his Spirit of God, so that he could not speak to God's people.
"Down with the heretics! Destroy the wizards! ”
The crowd is the easiest to incite, especially when a lot of ignorant people gather together, it is like a large pile of poplars, which only needs a little fire to make it burn in an instant.
The citizens were crazy, they didn't care how many of them had been healed, only that the person in front of them was no longer the god they thought they had, but a true heretic, and the former benevolent ones were pointing at their benefactors and yelling, of course, no one dared to rush forward, because they were afraid of the "poor worm" lying on the ground.
"I, no, it's not like that." As the situation worsened, and the smell of gunpowder grew, Dr. Bella looked around and tried to explain to them, but how could one man's mouth stop the mouths of hundreds of people. No matter how much he explained, there was no way to prove that he was not a heretic in front of him. Dr. Bella was so anxious that he was about to cry, but at this moment, he felt a sharp blow to the back of the head, and then the whole person's center of gravity was unstable and fell to the ground, and then four or five big men rushed up, and Dr. Bella was tied up with three strikes and five divided by two. Such a bad behavior not only did not make the surrounding citizens react, but they even applauded in unison, for the villain who smashed the store. They watched as the thugs put the ropes they had prepared on the dying slave who had no power to resist. They had found a good point of support, on the wooden pillar on which the sign was placed on the door, and they could not wait to execute the poor speechless slave.
"Squeak..."
A strong man below grabbed the other end of the rope and pulled it hard, and the poor slave was slowly hoisted up by Dr. Nabella's door. The slave had no ability to resist, not even the strength to let out a wail, and he could only watch as he was slowly hoisted, and then his neck was gradually broken on the rope, and he died in agony. Far from receiving the slightest mercy from the townspeople, such a cruel death was even more presumptuous, shouting and cheering, watching the poor creature die little by little.
"This heretic deserves to end like this!"
"Oh, poor fellow, tortured by heretics to become like this!"
Instead of stepping forward, they strongly demanded that this innocent man who had been hanged should end his life as soon as possible, because his soul had been "defiled", he was an impure person, and his sins could not be atoned for.
As for Dr. Bella, how could the poor old man be easily let go by the townspeople who had been bewitched by the nobleman's gossip, and they punched and kicked the old man until he was dying. It wasn't that the townspeople pitied his pain, but that the nobles who controlled everything didn't want the poor old man to die so easily.
So he will atone for his sins.
Just like at the time of Jesus' crucifixion, Dr. Bella was tied to a cross made of wood because he was a heretic and was not eligible for the treatment of St. Jesus before his death. Therefore, it is the best mercy to choose to use binding instead of being cruelly nailed to it. Then he was set up at the gate of the city for two days and two nights. Of course, the so-called faithful believers who came and went all scolded him, wishing that he would die a painful death.
At this point, Tenaia couldn't stop crying, but she still covered her mouth forcibly, as if she was afraid that her crying would wake up Dr. Bella, who was still resting.
