In the depths of winter.

    The circular square in the center of Delta was crowded with people.

    All the residents of the town gathered around the square, peering out at the platform directly opposite.

    On the high platform, a man dressed in a black and white priest robe sat on a chair, resting calmly on the back of the chair.

    On the other side stood a fat, sweaty middle-aged man.

    The middle-aged man's name was Luca, and he was the mayor of Delta Town.

    Luca first glanced at the square in the distance, then at the sun in the sky.

    Then, she wiped her sweat and turned to look at the man beside her with his eyes closed. She carefully bowed.

    "Mr. Manager, it's almost time."

    As soon as he finished speaking, Luca met a pair of eyes as deep as the ice sea.

    "Well," he said.

    The young manager opened his eyes and looked at Luca calmly. He waved his hand lightly.

    "Bring that wizard up."

    "Yes!" she said.

    Luca bowed slightly to the young man again, then came to the platform and shouted to the people below.

    "The trial begins!"

    “……”

    As soon as he finished speaking, the originally noisy square instantly became silent.

    Then, everyone took out pitchforks, sickles, torches, and other items from somewhere. They raised them above their heads and let out almost crazy shouts!

    For a moment, the entire square was in an uproar, filled with all kinds of vicious curses.

    "Burn that wizard! Because of this rotten seed, my chickens haven't laid eggs for three days!"

    "That's right! My cow isn't giving milk anymore. It must be the shaman!"

    " Wizards are servants of demons. They should go back to hell!"

    "Yes! Burn her! Strip her naked, tie her to the stake, and let the flames burn every last bit of him!"

    “……”

    Accompanied by the noise of people, a stretcher gradually appeared outside the square.

    The two Delta Town residents struggled to control their expressions as they followed the path that everyone had voluntarily made way for and arrived at the center of the square.

    Seeing that they had finally arrived at their destination, the two Delta Town residents threw the stretcher on the ground and ran back to the surrounding crowd.

    However, just as the two Delta Town residents were about to join the denunciation of the Evil Wizard, they found that the square suddenly fell into a strange silence.

    Then, there was a series of whispers among the crowd.

    "Hiss! Is this the wizard? They really look different from us!"

    " Also, his clothes must have been soaked in fresh blood to have such a bright red color!"

    "And look at his skin. I bet it's blackened by the ashes of hell.

    There are also burns on it, which are also marks left in the lava of hell."

    "Well?" Not a witch? Why is it a man?

    However, if you look closely, this guy looks pretty good."

    “.......”

    At this moment, another regretful voice came from the crowd, instantly causing the scene to fall silent.

    However, before everyone could distance themselves from the guy who had just spoken, another ear-piercing scream rang out.

    "Look! That guy is waking up!"

    As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's expressions changed drastically and they took two steps back simultaneously.

    Then, he looked at Wizard, who was slowly opening his eyes on the stretcher, with a frightened expression.

    Carrez had just woken up when he felt waves of burning pain all over his body. He almost fell unconscious again.

    Fortunately, Karetz remembered the mother and daughter he was protecting in time and regained consciousness.

    "No way! He couldn't faint yet. He had to save her... Hmm?"

    At this moment, Karetz suddenly realized that something was wrong. He didn't seem to be in the middle of the fire. Instead, he was lying on a spacious open space.

    Karetz stared fixedly at the sun in the sky and finally recalled everything. He let out a long breath and grinned happily.

    "I remember now. I've already handed over the mother and daughter pair to the captain!

    Although I couldn't escape in the end, it was enough."

    "I just didn't expect the world after death to be like this."

    "Also, didn't they say that people lose consciousness after they die? Why is it still so painful?"

    "Wait a minute. Am I not dead yet?"

    Karetz finally reacted. His eyes immediately regained focus and he subconsciously wanted to sit up.

    However, just as he was about to get up, he involuntarily fell down.

    It was not because his injuries were too severe, but because he was tied up!

    At the same time, Karetz's actions caused another wave of exclamations from Delta Town.

    "How can I help you?"

    Karetz fell back onto the stretcher. He looked at the leather rope tied tightly around him and looked around at the frightened Delta Town residents. His mind went blank.

    Then, some vague memories from his coma flashed through Carrez's mind.

    From these memories, Karetz was able to extract key information such as " burn " and " wizard ".

    Combined with his surroundings and the way Delta Town's residents dressed, Karetz finally came up with an astonishing theory!

    " Did I transmigrate to the Middle Ages and be mistaken for a wizard?"

    Then, another thought quickly appeared in Carrez's mind.

    "No way! I must explain it clearly!"

    With that thought in mind, Karetz struggled to raise his head despite his injuries and shouted to the residents of Delta Town.

    "Wait a minute! You've misunderstood. I'm not a wizard!"

    Unfortunately, Carrez's explanation didn't seem to have any effect. Instead, it scared the Delta Town people back half a step.

    Seeing this, Carrez couldn't help but feel anxious. Just as he was thinking of saying something more, he suddenly heard a cold voice from above.

    "Demons are naturally cunning. As demons 'lackeys, they are naturally good at bewitching people.

    Do you think you can deceive us just by saying that you're not a wizard?"

    Karetz heard the noise and tried to look back. He saw a young man in a black and white uniform standing behind him, looking down at him.

    Although he did not know the identity of the other party, judging from the respectful attitude of the surrounding people towards the young man, the other party should be the one in charge.

    Karetz knew that his survival depended on convincing the other party.

    So, trying to control his emotions, he opened his mouth to smoke and said,"Actually, I'm just a passing traveler. I'm really not a wizard."

    "Traveler?"

    The young manager obviously wouldn't be so easily bewitched by the " evil wizard ". He raised his hand and pointed at the protective suit on the other party's body as he asked coldly.

    "Would a traveler wear such strange clothes?"

    Karetz paused for a moment. He pulled his cracked mouth and tried to smile."Because I can't sew, I can only make something that covers my body.

    Although it looks strange, it doesn't prove that I'm a wizard, right?"

    The young manager looked straight at Carrez, and a cold smile gradually appeared on his lips. He raised his hand and pointed at the burns on Carrez's body.

    "Then how do you explain the burns on your body?"

    Karetz didn't know what he meant." Explain what?"

    "Oh, my God! When you were unconscious, I inflicted eleven burns on you with a red-hot iron plow.

    Today, exactly three days have passed, and your burns are still not fully healed.

    Doesn't that prove you're a wizard?"

    “……”

    When Carrez heard this, he immediately fell silent.

    Instead of organizing words and trying to make the other party understand whether it was common sense to let the burns heal completely in three days, he cursed in his heart.

    No wonder his entire body was in pain now. His feelings were all caused by the other party!
