Shpankov<p>- Что это? — устало махнул рукой в сторону подсудимого Старший Инквизитор и приложил ко лбу уже влажный от пота платок.</p><p>- Это? Браузер… - настороженно промолвил человек в центре зала, теребя в руках какой-то свиток.</p><p>- О, боже… - тихо простонал судья. — Что делает этот бро… бру... эта бесовская штука?</p><p>- Она позволяет находить в хранилище нужные свитки, — человек ещё больше съёжился.</p><p>- Кому позволяет? — нахмурил брови судья.</p><p>- Ну… Вам, мне. Всем, - человек слегка раскрыл свиток — Вот здесь указаны ссылки на нужные шкафы и полки, а вот здесь…</p><p>- Прекратить! — резко остановил его судья, не дав закончить объяснение. — Только Верховный Инквизитор знает размещение свитков, и не тебе, еретик, решать, кто достоин этого знания!</p><p>В комнате на минуту воцарилась звенящая тишина. Затем судья устало продолжил.</p><p>- Кто ещё знает про эту бесовскую штуку?</p><p>- Никто, - промолвил человек, - я её сам придумал.</p><p>- Очень хорошо, - сказал инквизитор и снова приложил платок ко лбу. — Штуку в костёр, еретика высечь на первый раз.</p><p>- Но за что?! — обречённо промолвил человек.</p><p>- За посягательство на священные знания, — строго отчеканил судья. - И скажи спасибо, что легко отделался.</p><p>Затем судья обратился к помощнику: — Введите следующего еретика, а этого изобретателя отправьте на розги к экзекутору.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/%D0%B4%D0%BD%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>дневник</span></a><br><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Vivaldibrowser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Vivaldibrowser</span></a><br><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/literature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>literature</span></a></p>
