Chapter 327: The Abnormal Nakoris
Following Loren's method, the Church personnel destroyed several other villas, along with the Prismatic Void-Gnawing Beasts inside.
As expected, they also discovered privately hoarded Prismatic Void-Gnawing Beasts in the minister's home. Consequently, they placed the minister and his daughter into the same cage holding the Prismatic Void-Gnawing Beast and hauled the cage to the Royal Capital's Square.
Initially, people didn't understand what was happening until a Scarecrow erected a notice beside the cage explaining the situation.
Inside the cage were the minister and his daughter, charged with privately hoarding Prismatic Void-Gnawing Beasts and obstructing the Church's efforts to exterminate them. They were placed here so people could witness the danger these beasts pose.
After reading the notice, those who had intended to condemn them for animal cruelty all backed down.
They weren't afraid of the notice itself, but rather the Scarecrow who posted it.
Scarecrows represent the Church. Obstructing a Scarecrow means obstructing the Church. Previously, even with knights present, some dared to interfere under the lead of certain nobles. But Scarecrows were different.
Fear continuously enveloped the woman inside the cage. She had heard stories about Prismatic Void-Gnawing Beasts eating people before, but she never believed the one she raised would do such a thing; surely hers was an exception.
Yet, under the influence of terror, she grew afraid and reached out to strangle the Prismatic Void-Gnawing Beast.
