Blood of Mercury

It's three o'clock in the afternoon, nearly three hours before the execution in Orlando.

Two hours after the announcement was sent, Orlando's execution location was finally determined.

As the first criminal in the history of the White Tower to be executed with silver, Orlando will be publicly executed on the highest minaret of the White Tower. Because the top floor of the second tower is only less than three meters away from the Great Barrier, and if the execution is executed at that height, the people below can't see it at all, and the meaning of public execution is lost.

After a brief discussion, the execution site was determined on a protruding balcony on the second floor of the second tower. This is a height that can be clearly seen from the ground.

Now, some wizards of the silver rank have begun to assemble the silver-infused chairs on the second floor of the second tower - this is still a very primitive kind of silver-infused chairs, although the style is old but the silver is as shiny as new.

It was an ornate torture device in the style of high elf art.

Although theoretically the simplest execution of silver injection is to draw blood, deposit silver and freeze it, it is said that under the advice of several old wizards who study the ancient culture of Elcatel, Orlando's execution will restore the ancient Elcatel as much as possible. People's Silver Betting Ceremony.

The implement used to execute the silver injection is a rather artistic seat fixed to the ground.

The only set of silver-injected torture tools in the White Tower was taken out along with some of the treasure house when Scott and Anvilia left the royal court. Up to now, it is completely counted as a cultural relic-level thing.

It looks a bit like the electric chair used by Elkat for electrocution in ancient times, but with a large number of twisted silver spiked metal vines wrapped around it.

These seemingly metal vines are actually hollow, and they are not metal, but some kind of wooden vines with pseudo-iron properties, just plated with a layer of silver.

These rather artistic twisted vines are actually consumables that are drawn out from the opening of the silver-filled chair after placing the material in the material slot behind the seat - it is still slightly hot to the touch.

During the execution of the silver injection, the victim should be sitting on a seat fixed to the ground. Then, these silver vines will be tightened little by little under the action of the mechanism, until those sharp spikes cut through the skin, the silver vines are embedded in the body along the skin's cracks, and the skin surface will no longer be a little convex. up to. The first step is complete.

Silver lines will appear on the surface of the victim's skin like a tattoo, and the blood in the victim's body will be drawn out by the lines on the vine and flow to the seat behind him. At the same time, the victim's entire body is immobilized by wooden vines with pseudo-iron properties. The whole person is like being nailed to death by steel bars, the joints can no longer be bent, and they can only sit on the seat stiffly, and the remaining life is also in a countdown.

When the victim fainted due to blood loss, the executioner had to press a switch on the seat. The mercury vapor stored in the silver vines is gently injected into the executor's blood vessels, filling the voids in the blood.

The slight high temperature softened the vines, and the seat behind the prisoner unfolded backwards under the action of the mechanism to become a metal surface, and the body of the prisoner bound to it was unfolded backwards and lay flat.

By this time, the prisoner was probably dead. And the mercury will fill it continuously, filling the blood vessels completely. The executor then took the vessel containing the mercury, and placed the prisoner in a huge crystal cover engraved with anti-corrosion incantations, filling it with mercury until no gap was visible, and then sealed the mouth. After being stored at low temperature, it was put into a coffin and buried in the ground.

If the execution method is good enough at this time, the victim should not have suffered any unnecessary injuries. In this case, their souls will be completely frozen after three months.

Their bodies are still elastic, their souls are still intellectual, and they even have touch. But because their souls are too heavy, it is impossible to ascend to the sky and return to the kingdom of the gods. They can only stay that way until the world ends - or is stolen by the devil.

The souls of these sinners have been turned into crystal works of art, and the flesh in their souls has been thoroughly purified by mercury. in the devil's world. Every sinful soul betting silver is the top luxury. So far, there has not been a soul that has been tortured with silver that is not in the hands of the devil. People will not fight against the devil for the corpses of these sinners. In more cases, the devil will sign some contracts that are beneficial to people. In exchange for a legitimate and legitimate take away of these souls.

The ceremonial nature of the silver injection is related to the culture of the ancient Elcat people. They believed that through such rituals, people's blood could be purified, and the minds of those buried near the silver depositor could be purified.

To be more precise, today's triathlon was invented by the Elcats in the beginning.

The cross is the symbol of the dormant teacher. Those who were crucified, their blood would saturate the entire cross. And when they died. The stench of blood is enough to attract flies. The Elcats believed that this would make such a deceased man, who loves to be cleansed, loathe the dead, and not take his soul away. This is also the reason why the Elcats bathe and make up their corpses.

Both the burning at the stake and the casting of silver were related to the two mortal enemies of the Elcats. These two mortal enemies, one will turn into black venom and enter the human body to control the minds of others, while the other will take on the appearance of a human and use lies and music to provoke a fight in the crowd.

What these two have in common is that they both possess a considerable degree of immortality. Only silver injection and burning can seal the two. It can be said that at the very beginning, there were more ritual elements in the triathlon than punishment. And at the beginning, it was not just the three capital punishments, but these three were passed down.

Later, the torture of crucifixion, burning at the stake, and pouring silver into the death penalty for anti-humans, traitors and heretics under the interpretation of the gods.

However, even the scholars of the White Pagoda can only understand this level at most. After Elcatel turned into a desert, that history was buried with it. There are still relatively complete records about the Dongguohui, but there are only some rather vague descriptions hidden in poems and biographies in the Baita.

There were still a few hours before the execution, and those old wizards with gray hair had already arrived on the top floor of the second tower, surrounded by the silver chairs that were being assembled, and exchanged their interest in the ancient Elkat. Research.

The executioner this time will be Scott. In response to the requests of the old wizards, he will use the most standard procedure to demonstrate the whole process of silver injection to the wizard apprentices and wizards studying the ancient history of Elcata .

Unlike those young people. Compared with Orlando's crimes, these old wizards are more looking forward to the whole process of the original version of the silver betting. After all, listening and seeing are two very different experiences.

Just as the silver injection chair was about to be assembled, there were bursts of noise from the downstairs of the second tower. The old wizards couldn't help looking down.

Amidst the clamorous crowd, a black-haired man with black cloth wrapped around his eyes and his hands tied behind him, surrounded by densely packed magic swordsmen~www.wuxiaspot.com~, came out of the basement of the third tower. Go to the side door of the second tower.

These knives wizards wear the Blue Sparrow Medal on their chests, with proud looks on their faces. He swaggered and took the biggest sinner of the White Tower to his execution ground.

Those with sharp eyes have found that Orlando's complexion is extremely pale and his steps are vain.

No one who saw this scene would doubt whether he was tortured, because the fact was already in front of him - Orlando is now clearly bleeding to the point of almost shock. Even if the healing potion can heal the external wound, it cannot replenish the blood. Orlando's expression of severe blood loss at this moment has proved how cruel the torture before the White Tower was.

After all, in order to ensure that the soul will not be squeezed out of the wounds of the corpse, the person who is given the punishment of silver injection is not allowed to have any major wounds.

An old wizard looked at the crowd that was almost boiling downstairs and surrounded the magic knife wizards, and subconsciously looked up at the sun.

Now the sun has begun to set westward.

In less than an hour at most, dusk will come. (To be continued.)
