Chapter 402 7.56 Trial of Heretics (4)

Before invading the English Isles, "Blood Hand" Wayne killed several Viking pirates from the neighboring province, or sneaked into Blood Pigeon Town and Fog Duck Town under the dark night and slaughtered several pirates whose hands were also stained with blood.

In later generations, this kind of random killing behavior will be called a "serial killer". Although Loki can't understand it, in Scandinavia, it is common for black to eat black.

If two families must starve to death, it is better for one family to pick up an axe and kill the other family.

In this way, the property of the two families will be combined, and at least one family can get out of the harsh winter.

For all the families that grew up in the barren frozen soil, no one dared to say that they had never killed their compatriots in their lives.

Even Loki's father, Manggs, had stolen the spoils of other villages more than once when he was young.

In this way, the people of Hanshui Village survived round after round of cold winters with difficulty.

**

In Scandinavia, Darwin's law governs everything.

Killing is not an unforgivable sin.

However, when he occupied two provinces in the English Isles, there were suddenly 100,000 more English farmers in the province.

Killing demons like "Blood Hand" Wayne must not continue to live under Loki's command.

Loki gave all the Viking pirates who followed him to the expedition fiefdoms, ships, and large tracts of farmland.

Only Wayne, who was over 50 years old. He just took out a heavy purse, and then let him stay away from his province and return to Scandinavia alone to survive.

He still remembered Wayne's eyes at the time.

He looked at him puzzled.

However, Loki knew that the two provinces he had just occupied were full of terrified English farmers. He must eliminate all factors that may cause unrest.

Among them, "Blood Hand" Wayne, who enjoyed killing, was the most dangerous one.

Wayne did not seek gold coins in his life.

Loki himself was very clear about this.

But at this time, except for giving him gold coins that he could not spend in his lifetime, he had no other way to meet any of his requirements.

When others were enjoying the fruits of victory, he was the only one who was exiled with a bag of gold coins.

**

"Duke Loki, may I ask, is this old Viking pirate your subordinate?!"

After entering the court, Loki lowered his head for the first time.

After a while, he answered in a deep voice: "Yes."

Wayne was not a mentally sound subordinate, but he had made contributions to Hanshui Village after all.

Loki could not deny his existence.

"Viking pirate Wayne, may I ask you, did you participate in the atrocities of massacring my French people on April 12?" Ethan asked in a deep voice in Viking, and the court was silent.

"Was this massacre carried out under the authorization of Duke Loki?!"

The translator translated Ethan's words into Viking in a low voice. After listening, Wayne raised his gray hair and laughed twice coldly.

"Hehe"

"Do you need someone to tell you how to kill people? I came to you to swing my axe and offer blood and broken bones to the God King Odin!"

"It's him!" Wayne pointed at Loki, "This Duke Loki betrayed our faith!"

"He is willing to turn around and kneel down to serve those soft and weak English sissies, but that doesn't mean I need to accept his arrangement!"

"That French businessman is just the first one"

"As long as I have the chance, I will crush you all to death one by one, knead you into blood foam and cook you into blood porridge to offer to my great God King!"

"Hahaha!!!"

The court was silent, and Wayne's crazy laughter was clearly heard by everyone.

Hearing these words, Loki immediately understood what Ethan had done.

All residents in the Middle Ages were simple and easy to incite.

Bloody Wayne must not have lived honestly in Scandinavia after getting the gold coins. He must have wandered to the Duchy of France and continued to try to kill people for fun.

However, in this country, he was caught.

Vikings will not lie.

They will not cover up their killings. The more people watch, the more they will praise the powerful enemies they have killed.

Wayne did the same in the court.

He did kill someone, but the person he killed was not necessarily "Andre Jarvan".

He did not understand the French spoken by Ethan.

When the translator whispered to him, it must have become something else.

Ethan had only one purpose in letting the "suspect" appear in court as a witness, and that was to spread fear.

Most of the jury members were legal citizens who had lived in Paris all their lives. Most of their knowledge of the Vikings existed in the minstrels who sang in bars and on the stage.

They praised the loyalty of the "Varyag Guard" and praised their bravery.

Ethan had to make the jurors who had never seen the Vikings feel great fear of this group of murderous demons with no bottom line.

Especially to get the two members of the "Plantage Family" around him to support their decision to try heretics.

This is the rule of the game of the "Inquisition".

**

"Wayne Brothers" Loki looked at him with sadness in his eyes, "I admit that I am sorry for you."

"I shouldn't have stuffed a bag of gold coins into your hand and sent you away like a wild dog."

"If we can get out of France this time, I will think of all the ways I can think of, so that you can have a home and enjoy a normal old age like other companions!"

Pooh!

"Blood Hand" Hu Wayne looked at him with dark red eyes and spat mercilessly.

There is a deep-rooted "ideological contradiction" between the two.

In Wayne's eyes, the only thing they need to do is to serve the God King Odin and keep killing for the Asgard gods.

In his eyes, the Vikings should live in the barren Scandinavian Peninsula and rely on killing all year round.

Instead of being like Loki, granting the tribe fiefdoms, the castle feeds everyone and tries its best to avoid war.

Seeing that the purpose of intimidating the people of Paris has been achieved, Loki is no longer as arrogant as when he just entered the court. Ethan waved his hand with satisfaction and guided the "torture monk" to take Wayne away.

So far, everything is going according to his established script.

With the help of this old subordinate who suddenly appeared, he had successfully broken through Loki's defense.

Now all he needed to do was to deliver a fatal blow to him.

"Call the next witness!"

The door of the court opened again, and Loki turned around.

However, this time, he really gasped.

The person who appeared in front of him was someone he had never expected.
