I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 70: Evidence
At this moment, a group of Mother Goddess Church believers in front of Dr. Sally’s clinic began taking further actions after loudly promoting for a while.
[The lands protected by the Mother Goddess will never allow pollution by an evil witch!]
[People, do not be fooled by her appearance!]
[Next, on behalf of the goddess, I will arrest this evil witch!]
After a burst of righteous shouts, the leading believer ordered several followers dressed similarly to rush directly into Dr. Sally’s clinic.
[Damn it! What do they intend to do!]
[We must find a way to stop them!]
Lina was somewhat anxious, even wanting to pull out a gun.
Before Rogel could speak, Mira gently grabbed her arm.
[Sister Lina, using a gun won’t solve the problem in this situation.]
[Then what should we do?]
Lina felt she couldn’t stand by and watch, but under Mira’s persuasion, she calmed down a bit.
[Let them produce evidence?]
Mira shook her head upon hearing this.
[These people act with such fanfare, they must have confidence.]
[Even if Dr. Sally isn’t a witch, they could still find so-called "evidence."]
To add crime, what more than no words.
[Mira, don’t keep us in suspense, let’s hear your plan.]
Rogel smiled at her at this point.
Of course, he had considered these things too but had no good countermeasures.
[Like this...]
A moment later, Rogel led Lina and the others forward.
Inside the clinic, Sally was treating a patient and hadn’t heard the commotion outside.
[The evil witch is here!]
Several believers roughly pushed aside the surrounding crowd and pointed at Sally.
Sally frowned at the situation.
[What do you intend to do?]
[What are we going to do?]
The leading believer sneered.
[You despicable evil witch, disguising yourself as a human, planting evil arts by drugging innocent people!]
[The great Mother Goddess has long seen through your deceitful plot, granting us divine revelation!]
[Today is the day you face the stake!]
[The flames will cleanse your sinful soul!]
The leading believer denounced vehemently as if he really had a deep-seated hatred against the evil witch.
In response, Dr. Sally shook her head calmly.
[I’m not a witch.]
[...Dr. Sally, she isn’t a witch, she saved me...]
At this point, a small boy waiting at the door spoke in a weak voice.
The other civilians remained silent, quietly watching the whole scene unfold.
The leading believer squinted at this, speaking in a gentle tone.
[Child, witches are very cunning, you cannot tell the difference.]
[Don’t worry, I who received divine revelation will expose the false mask of this witch.]
Finishing, the leading believer looked coldly at Sally.
[Whether you’re a witch isn’t up to you to decide! The Mother Goddess will tell us!]
[Seize her!]
With a raised hand, several cronies waiting behind immediately stepped forward to apprehend Sally.
However, at this moment, with Rogel leading, Lina pushed Mira in.
[Nadewilo is a territory of the Thousand Islands Kingdom.]
[The kingdom’s laws supersede everything.]
[Who gave you the right to arrest people without a trial?]
[Or is it that your church’s authority has already surpassed the kingdom’s law?]
Mira’s voice was not loud, even very soft.
But the leading believer’s expression changed drastically upon hearing it.
With Mira’s words, they immediately lost the opportunity to detain Sally.
If they acted again, it would be an on-the-spot admission that "the church’s power has surpassed the kingdom’s law" before everyone present.
If this situation escalated, he definitely wouldn’t be able to cover it up.
Where did this busybody come from, meddling in affairs!
The lead believer cursed silently.
However, he maintained a facade of kindness.
[Miss, you don’t understand the true nature of things...]
Before he could finish, Mira interrupted.
[Enough.]
[If you want to prove Dr. Sally is a witch, then show us the evidence.]
[Without evidence, you’re framing her.]
Mira looked at them calmly.
The leading believer gritted his teeth in response.
[...Fine, you want evidence, I’ll give you evidence.]
He squinted, signaling an assistant to bring the pre-prepared item.
It was a pristine cup containing some water.
[This is a Holy Grail blessed by the Mother Goddess, it helps identify hidden evil witches.]
[Just put a strand of the witch’s hair into the Holy Grail, and her true form will be revealed.]
[Hand me her hair.]
The leading believer stretched out his hand, arrogant and confident.
[How will it reveal her true form?]
[Is it through the hair changing color?]
[Perhaps you should let us examine this so-called Holy Grail first.]
Mira chuckled.
She thought this guy had some clever trick.
But that’s it?
Sure enough, the believer’s pupils shrank at the question, then he shouted loudly.
[Silence!]
[This is a blessed holy relic by the Mother Goddess, how can you defile it at will!]
Then, he glanced at his subordinates, motioning for them to forcibly take Sally’s hair.
He thought of these three as mere busybodies.
He didn’t care about them, just needed to provide the nearby ignorants a seemingly valid explanation.
Mira wasn’t in a hurry.
[Okay then, since you want the hair, here it is.]
She and Lina got a strand from Dr. Sally, then handed it to Rogel.
Rogel stepped forward and gave it to the believer.
The believer’s expression eased a bit.
At least they knew their place.
In his view, the three knew they couldn’t stop him and his minions, so they handed over the hair.
Under everyone’s gaze, the believer placed the hair into the cup.
As the hair touched the water, it began to slowly turn purple, eventually becoming a bright Purple.
[She is indeed a witch!]
[Only an evil witch’s hair changes to Purple under the Holy Grail Water!]
[Seize her and take her to the stake!]
[These three defending the witch are also suspicious, seize them too!]
The believer shouted harshly, and several henchmen rushed towards Sally.
This time, the henchmen moved quickly.
They clearly didn’t want to give Rogel and others a chance to speak again.
Sally quietly watched all this, still expressionless.
She seemed overly calm.
Mira frowned; she didn’t expect them to act directly when unable to handle it.
Rogel chuckled lightly at this.
[Mira, to reason with scoundrels, you must first point a gun at their head.]
Mira was smart, but too idealistic.
Perhaps Yas protected her too well.
This farce was about to end.
Rogel couldn’t be bothered to act himself, letting the game character handle it.
The game character moved like lightning, fist like thunder, leg like an iron whip, flooring several henchmen in breaths.
Instantly, wails filled the ground.
Watching this astounding scene, the lead believer was dumbstruck.
Where the hell did this monster come from?
In utter shock, Rogel grabbed the terrified lead believer.
[What, what are you going to do?]
[I’m a believer of the Mother Goddess Church, the Mother Goddess Church has...]
Ignoring the shouted threats, Rogel roughly pulled a handful of hair from him and tossed him aside like trash.
Ignoring the ground leader’s painful cries, Rogel placed his hair into the so-called Holy Grail.
The hair turned Purple.
Rogel crouched down, mockingly patting his face.
[What, even a pious Mother Goddess believer is an evil witch?]
[Evil witches truly hide deep...]
