At the beginning, unlimited skill tree!

Gill never expected that the kidnapped monk also had an elder brother who worked for the Duke of Brittany.

After receiving the report, the Duke and the Bishop of Nantes launched an investigation.

When they found out the murderer. Gill and his associates were arrested on September 15.

Starting on September 19, the church court and the secular court began to try Gill separately. ’

The screen flashed and the epic plot progressed rapidly.

Then people saw the scene of Baron Giles being held up by soldiers and locked up while struggling.

"Let me go! I am the Marshal of France, your Baron...! You can't treat meritorious people like this!"

Gilles has been promoting his dedication and contribution to France.

…

And people who have witnessed the development of the plot:

"Giles...was he arrested?!"

"Great, no innocent children will be harmed this way!" They breathed a sigh of relief.

However--

'The proof of the crime itself was surprisingly simple. After only 24 hours, the four accomplices betrayed their master and all confessed, probably out of fear of punishment.

But the baron knew that without the king's approval, even the judges of the Inquisition could not punish him at will, so he was emboldened and refused to plead guilty.

He angrily insulted those who came to interrogate him. The marshal believed that he could be pardoned by virtue of his origin, status and military merit. He also wrote a letter to Charles VII in prison, asking for the king's "help".

However, there was no response to his letters.

This man had killed so many children in the ghastly torture chamber, but when it was his turn to face those instruments of torture, he immediately collapsed.

Gilles de Rais fell on his knees, begged God to forgive him for his crime, and confessed everything to the priest.

Faced with various evidences, Gill formally confessed his crime on October 21 and made a deathbed confession.

Secular law convicted him of kidnapping, murder, and abuse of force without the duke's permission.

The church court convicted him of heresy, sodomy and violating the interests of the church.

Gill was executed along with three of his men in Nantes on October 26 at the age of 36.

As for François Prelaty, he had previously pierced his carotid artery with a sharpened spoon handle in prison.

Gill had begged the judge to sentence him to be burned at the stake.

Fire and water are elements of purification in Christianity. He hoped to atone for his sins and avoid suffering in hell.

The Inquisition only half agreed to this request: he was hanged first, and then his body was burned in public.

In a book called "Justice and Courts of France" written in the next century, there is also a legend recorded: When the corpse was set on fire, many people who were watching heard it make a miserable groan. It seems that I can still feel the pain of burning my body in flames.

The thirty-six-year-old French marshal was burned to death on the rack.

He and Joan of Arc can be regarded as arriving at the same destination through different paths. However, the heroine was able to transform into a white dove and fly to heaven, and he became one of the prototypes of Blue Beard, the protagonist of the fairy tale "Blue Beard" (who killed 6 wives in the story), and will always be regarded as a symbol of evil and corruption. . ’

"'Justice and the Court of Justice in France'?"

Are the books you have never heard of lost?

Everyone thought with regret and surprise.

The epic says that the story of the last marshal became the prototype of "Bluebeard" in the fairy tale.

"Ah!! It's that Blue Beard! I think I've read that fairy tale before!"

In the bookstore, someone suddenly spoke in surprise.

Isn’t that a story from another collection of Andersen’s short fairy tales?

Although there are no heroic biographies or epics, it is more attractive...

But Andersen's fairy tales have a very good response among people's children.

Because the story is very concise, interesting and easy to understand, many adults also like to read it.

‘Giles is actually the prototype of Bluebeard——? ’

Even though it’s just ‘one’.

But this is something no one expected.

Everyone's minds were a little numb and blank.

...?

...! ?

"Bluebeard's prototype is Giles! Do other characters in fairy tales also have corresponding prototypes?"

Someone couldn't help but murmured.

For a moment, my brain began to fantasize wildly. Hermitos was slightly startled when he heard the man's muttering.

Could it be that those fairy tales also contain so much behind-the-scenes information? !

Hermitus instantly became itchy! !

In the past, he always skipped these fairy tales and read Andersen's epics and biographies directly.

Now it seems that he has simply missed a huge treasure!

Any opportunity to dig up information about a bygone era is not to be missed! With this in mind, the God of Alchemy decided to pack up all Andersen's fairy tales and take them back to read once he finished reading this epic.

Among them are dark fairy tales——

Hermitus, who likes to speculate on the profound meaning behind fairy tales, was really shocked by the astonishing reversal.

That's all for later.

And now——

…

The evil baron was finally put to death.

The epic seems to have ended here.

Both the male and female protagonists died.

The story should be over, right?

When people think this way, they sigh in their hearts:

'Giles, who thought that his military exploits could protect him, didn't expect that the law would be ruthless...'

Such a result - maybe not bad.

Everyone’s previous heavy mood due to the ‘Cthulhu Mythos’ has also become much better.

‘Narrator: - Those who do evil will eventually pay the price for their evil deeds! ’

When people saw those words, their eyes seemed to have a brighter light!

You don't have to save others before you can use that kindness to harm others wantonly.

For a time, people felt a great sense of comfort in their hearts.

but--

Behind that relaxation, why are there still a touch of sadness in their hearts.

It was a feeling that the outcome of the story was still a bit unfinished...

Speaking of which——

'Giles loved Joan so much, sacrificed so much for Joan, and made such changes!

That crazy, persistent will... Why was he so unbearable when faced with the criminal law, and he confessed so easily. This is too strange. ’

And Gilles will change so much...

Rather than doing evil because he was greedy for money and wanted to learn alchemy, people were more willing to believe in the second reason listed previously in the epic——

All his changes are in pursuit of the path to resurrecting Joan of Arc!

For that beautiful "Holy Virgin".

Chapter 520: Salvation? ! This is going to destroy the world! ?

If you say——

The story is based on the legend of summoning the demon king Balon, but the result is that Giles' evil will be punished.

Shouldn't there be a story about a marshal who threw himself into the "abyss" and wanted to resurrect Joan of Arc?

Another rumored version comes to mind.

That Marshal Gilles obtained a version of the "Luoyan City Text Book" from his close friend Francois Prelatin.

...It’s not for alchemy and getting more money.

Rather, he touted and praised God more than anyone else, and was angrier and questioned God's existence than anyone else. He wanted to verify God with his evil deeds...

On the one hand, in order to verify that Joan of Arc can ascend to heaven after death, she keeps doing evil and is willing to go to hell!

On the other hand, in the constant despair and darkness, he is constantly looking for a way to resurrect Joan of Arc. The marshal does not put his hope in the same basket!

Such a marshal——

The change from a hero to an anti-hero and the journey of his mind are actually more acceptable to people!

ah--

Think about it carefully, even if you have fallen, the glory of being a knight and the glory of the French Marshal is not so easy to forget!

Could it be that after all these years of depravity, he has lost the integrity and strong will that he once had as a hero?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt an inexplicable sense of regret... I felt that the marshal should not be so cowardly and afraid of death. For a moment, everyone felt a little overwhelmed and couldn't calm down.

Although he looks very annoying now——

But people have not forgotten the image of the former marshal.

‘God has been discredited. The so-called God loves the world is just empty talk! No matter how cruel and inhumane my deeds are, no god will punish me! ’

Twilightly——

It seemed that people's voices were heard, and those words appeared. The story in the epic does not end, it seems to have reached a turning point.

"This is...?!" The little princess and the others looked stunned.

It seems to be... Giles's voice?

'That was the answer that Giles came up with after thinking quietly for a long time while being imprisoned.

——No matter how cruel and blasphemous things are done, and blasphemous sacrifices are piled up into mountains——'

As the words continued, his tone gradually became deep and depressing, like the calm before the storm.

‘——That’s no problem! Because God will never punish humans, he is just toying with humans...'

Giles finally figured it out——

'I have committed probably the most disobedient and blasphemous sins in the world. However, no matter how much I killed or blasphemed, God never sinned against me. By the time I realized it, I had been allowed to explore the path of evil for eight years. Year! ! ! ’

Giles said these words in his own voice.

When they saw this, everyone was shaken inwardly following Giles' words, and their faces were slightly startled.

This French Marshal seems to have always been conscious!

People's emotions were somewhat aroused, and there was a sense of expectation inexplicably.

'really--

Giles...the reason why you fell has never changed! ’ the little princess thought excitedly.

‘Verify the coming of divine punishment with evil deeds!

Poor Marshal of France...poor Baron! Shocking persistence! ’

People continued to look behind, but the marshal's words were not over yet:

‘In the end, it was not the gods that destroyed me, but the greed in the hearts of humans like me! The church and the king executed me in the name of judging sins, just to usurp the wealth and territory I owned!
