God-level Demon Hunter

"This is his cleverness!" Cyrus' voice was full of convincing power, "If he does some bad things like bleeding soles, he will soon see through his identity and be kicked out of my position .”

"But he is very good at disguising, whether it is appearance or action style, he maintains the superficial justice and uses it to paralyze you simple and kind people!"

"But compared to his evil deeds behind the scenes, these so-called good deeds can't make up for one-tenth of it!" Cyrus paused, looking at the crowd,

A full third of non-human races.

If a conflict between human and non-human races is provoked at this time, it will only detonate a terrible disaster.

Dealing with non-human races can only be done slowly.

Now he solves the main contradiction first!

"His biggest crime is to collude with a group of mutants and set up a secret laboratory in the alder forest in the suburbs!"

Vigfortz's detailed explanation flashed through Cyrus' mind, and he circled the stake slowly,

"That place is an orphanage on the surface. In fact, it is a place for demon hunters to conduct vicious mutation experiments and mass-produce mutants!"

"Nowadays, quite a few children have been persecuted and poisoned by them, have the pupils of beasts, and become non-human species."

"It is conceivable that if the doppelganger continues to sit in the position of sheriff, his accomplice, the demon hunter, will expand at an unprecedented speed in the name of the orphanage, and soon the entire Nordic city will become mutants. ocean!"

There were horrified cries from the crowd.

"It's terrible..." Cassirer shook his head, "All the demon hunters in Nilfgaard were driven away by His Majesty Emhyr. Are the demon hunters in the north so evil?"

"No, buddy," Grimm shook his head, thinking of the fair and honest demon hunter White Wolf who fought against him in Sintra, "I can guarantee that this archbishop is just scaremongering, he has deep prejudice against demon hunters !"

"My lord!" a bard retorted, with a stern expression as if he was stating the truth, "The witcher is not as evil as you say!"

"They rescued countless rural farmers from the fangs and claws of monsters, and killed countless man-eating beasts!"

"But their fees are so expensive!" Someone retorted,

"That's the money they deserve!"

Outside the human wall, there were people cheering for the witcher, and they were obviously regulars of the dance hall.

"The demon hunter helped Princess Adda of Vizima get rid of the curse of the bloodthirsty demon bird!"

"Cleared the filth and filth from the sewers of Nuocheng!"

"Help the little princess of Cintra escape the clutches of Brokleon's dreaded Dryad!"

The townspeople fell silent.

The propaganda offensive of the song and dance hall poets played a big role. In the past two years, they listened to the good words of the witcher, and their ears were almost callused, and they believed it unknowingly.

The archbishop thumped his chest, shaking his right hand holding the cane uncontrollably, "Have you all been brainwashed by those rhetorical poets in the Nuocheng song and dance hall?"

"But do you know that the biggest shareholder behind the dance hall is the demon hunter!"

"They brag and put gold on their faces just to deceive you!"

"Think about it with your brains, the dance hall is telling the truth? If they claim that the barren witcher is your father, do you believe it?"

The crowd became agitated, shaking their heads desperately.

"You can go to any city other than Nuocheng to have a look!"

"What is the reputation of the witcher? The locals will tell you!"

"Almost every old man in every village can tell a whole lot about the atrocities committed by mutants! The transfigured monsters who work for tigers are even more unforgivable!"

Cassirer said to himself,

"The words of Archbishop Cyrus are so damn exciting!"

"My lord bishop..." shouted a knight in the crowd. He was tall and straight, with brilliant blond hair, and his smile was as warm as the rising sun, which made people feel good about him. "According to your logic, as long as you prove People are not villains, so the doppelganger who helps them is a kind and good person!"

"This heroic knight, even you have been deceived by this evil group? Your words are absolutely impossible!" The archbishop's majestic eyes turned to Grimm, "After purifying this evil, we will immediately go to the suburbs to catch Catch those demon hunters who are devoid of conscience!"

"This shapeshifter has strange and unpredictable abilities. As long as we untie the holy silverware on his body, he can change shape at will and immediately change into anyone present. Not only does his shape look exactly the same, he can even read your thoughts. I know you All memories of the past."

"Then invade your home and property, humiliate your wives, husbands, and abuse your children. This knight, including you, will not be spared!"

"Burn him to death!" Someone was afraid and started to shout.

Grimm, however, had a serious expression on his face, his gaze at the doppelganger shifted unsteadily, and he clenched the long sword at his waist.

"The shapeshifter does not belong to the creation of the gods, and is not allowed in the world! He must die!" the archbishop shouted, and gave a look to a guard of the eternal flame beside him.

It was the young guard who had been with Chapelle all the time.

But he fell into hesitation and stopped moving forward.

"Fathers and folks!"

The doppelganger tied to the stake suddenly opened his mouth, his thin yellow pupils scanned the dark crowd present, his voice was hoarse like a critically ill patient,

"It's true that I, Gigi, pretended to be Sheriff Chapelle for the past two years, but I didn't kill him. When I found him, he was already dead. I just want to use his identity to practice the eternal fire of the team." Faith!"

"And I have a clear conscience during my two years as a magistrate. I have never done anything to be sorry for the people of Nuocheng. I have never enriched my own pockets and abused power! I have worked hard to arrest human traffickers and crack down on crimes. , are all to make our homeland more beautiful. All my actions are clear to everyone!"

"I swear to the Great Eternal Fire!" He said devoutly.

It was only then that everyone discovered that this shapeshifter could speak human language, and his eloquence was not bad.

The part swept by his yellow pupils lowered their heads, and some people glared at each other.

"Heretics! How dare you argue!" the archbishop waved his stick and reprimanded sharply, his eyes filled with disgust, "What qualifications do you have to believe in the eternal fire! Your oath is desecrating the sacred!"

Everyone suddenly realized that the Eternal Flame has been chasing and killing shapeshifting monsters since ancient times.

The two are completely sworn enemies.

"Lord Cyrus, the eternal flame is a symbol of salvation, guiding all living beings in the dark... and all beings are equal. This is the original text in the scriptures!" The shapeshifter slickly threw out a series of questions, "Am I not a life?" ?”

Cyrus' face darkened.

"Because of my innate ability, am I going to bear unwarranted charges? Even if I never abused my ability."

The shapeshifter questioned the thousand people present.

"Because of your prejudice against shapeshifters and worrying that I will take over your identities, do I deserve to be burned to death? Even if I have never made a mistake!"

There was a brief silence among the crowd, and the dwarves and elves who had been suspected and suspected by humans suddenly felt the same way.

"According to the archbishop's handling method, a person has the possibility of committing a crime from birth!"

"So are we going to burn a baby?!"

A dwarf with a warhammer on his back stroked his beard and said in a low voice.

The sound came far away.

"Burn the doppelganger! Don't let him talk nonsense!" Someone shouted angrily.

"Don't do it yet!" The archbishop glared at the young guard,

And Jiji suddenly smiled at everyone, with tears in her smile, her expression was calm, and she looked at death as if she were home.

"Kodali, do it." He said to the guards, his eyes calmly swept across the crowd, his voice resounded throughout the Temple Island Square, "Burn me to death!"

"If my death can make everyone feel at ease! I am willing to practice the teachings of the eternal fire at the cost of my life, and end everyone's suspicion and worry!"

He said solemnly,

"I am willing to use my life to guide all beings!"

"I only have one prayer! After my death, the people of Nuocheng will stop being suspicious of any human beings, non-human races, dwarves, elves, gnomes, halflings, and even demon hunters!"

"I hope that everyone can coexist peacefully in this prosperous home!"

"If this little wish of mine can come true." A touching smile bloomed on the deformed and ugly face, as if he was glowing, "I will die without regret!"

"Ugh."

There was a flash of struggle in the guard's eyes, and he sighed. Another guard threw the torch under the gesture of the archbishop's eyes.

"Pfft!"

The orange flame instantly ignited the oil on the pile of firewood, forming a circle at the feet of the doppelganger, and the overwhelming light of the fire illuminated his calm and fearless face.

He was still smiling at everyone.

However, this smile quickly deformed in the high temperature.

……

All of a sudden, everyone in the square lost their voices strangely.

He watched this scene with complicated eyes.

Only the crackling of sparks can be heard.

And Grimm grinned at the black-haired knight beside him, clenched the sword in his hand with a firm expression,

"Man, get ready to fight, it's time to practice our chivalry!"

His words were suppressed by a strange piercing sound!

"boom!"

In the burning pyre, it seemed as if a bomb had detonated, and the firewood exploded, flying in all directions like raindrops.

In the mid-air of the temple square, thousands of orange light spots flickered, as if a grand firework show was kicking off.

"Puff-puff-puff!"

The firewood fell on the temple guards surrounding the adult wall.

Some were still burning, and the hot guards screamed strangely.

Some fell into the crowd with white smoke, stirring up a burst of exclamation.

There was also an unlucky businessman who was directly hit on the head by a piece of wood and passed out.

Archbishop Cyrus, who was next to the fire, was hit by the violent airflow and fell to the ground with a howl, his face flushed red and he couldn't get up for a long time.

Two loyal guards jumped on him to stop the flying firewood for him.

A sudden accident caused the densely packed crowd in the square to explode like huge waves, and the waves rolled countless people upside down!

However, when the flying firewood fell to the ground and went out, the chaos quickly disappeared.

At this point, the flames dissipated.

The stake stood alone in the middle of the square.

The shapeshifter Jiji was burned to the ground by the flames and high temperature,

The thinning hair on the top of the head was burned off.

But it doesn't stop there.

The flames did him no irreparable harm.

He is still healthy and sane, his pale yellow pupils stare at him,

Everyone was silent, and looked over——

At some point, a figure in a black cloak stood in front of the shapeshifter.

Two sword hilts protrude from behind the shoulders.

The viper pendant on the neck flutters with the wind.

On the young face, the dark gold and silver-gray pupils flickered coldly, turning to the archbishop who was slowly getting up with the help of the eternal flame guards.

"Cyrus Engelkander Heimfa... Archbishop of the Eternal Flame, you want to judge my friends, you want to judge all witchers?"

"Come here and tell me what I did wrong?"

"I'm all ears!"

Chapter 37 What about traps?

Temple Island Plaza.

In the sea of ​​people.

The demon hunter in a black cloak stood proudly in front of the shapeshifter, facing hundreds of malicious gazes with a calm expression, as if walking in his own garden with a relaxed expression.

"Roy?" The doppelganger looked at the lonely back in front of him with misty eyes, moved and anxious, "You shouldn't have come!"
