Lord of Arcane

Chapter 456 Lead the way
The next day, Xia Duo started his second field mission to join the trial court. This time, he did not carry out the mission alone, but a small team of five people, led by a middle-level mage named "Ogg" .

In addition to Ogg and Xia Duo, two of the other three are also middle-level mages. The quality of this team is quite high. In addition to the mage team, there are also 50 ordinary soldiers.

It is mainly used for miscellaneous work, and is basically assigned by one mage and ten soldiers, and more can be applied for if necessary.

"set off!"

With Oge's order, all mages summoned magic mounts, which are also standard equipment for judges. Yesterday they received a lot of [Summoning Mount] scrolls, and ordinary soldiers could only run along with them.

Of course, it's not right to say that they followed each other, they were running in circles.Fortunately, the speed of the mages is not fast, otherwise these people will definitely not be able to keep up after a long time.

……

This time, we are going to a place called "Rapunzel Town". The task is similar to the one Xia Duo received yesterday. It is also to investigate the belief of demons, but this time there is an extra task of clearing it.

When they arrived at the boundary, before entering the town of Rapunzel, Ogg ordered everyone to take a short rest, let all the mages bless their spells, and then moved on.

At the same time, two ordinary soldiers were sent to go ahead, shouting, "The trial court is here, everyone gather!"

When the mages arrived, there was already a group of people standing sparsely in the open space of the town, and more people were walking here one after another.

Xia Duo noticed that there were also men and women among these people, but the proportion of pregnant women among the women was not as high as that of the Blackstone Town he visited yesterday, just when Xia Duo was thinking about what Ogg would do.

Ogg suddenly called out, "Hatton!"

A thin middle-aged man emerged from the crowd immediately, bowed his body, flattered Ogg, with a smile on his face, "My lord, you are finally here!"

But Ogg didn't give him a good face, but said coldly: "Point out the person, remember, don't be clever."

"Yes, yes." Hatton hurriedly agreed, bowing even deeper.

But as soon as he turned around, he stood up straight, changed his face, and began to roll the roll triumphantly, "My Lord Mayor, stand up, your incident has happened!"

"Me?" At this time, the mayor looked confused and didn't know what happened. He looked at Ogg with some doubts, but Ogg didn't say a word, and Hatton, who received the signal, stepped forward and moved The mayor grabbed the crowd.

At this time, a group of soldiers immediately stepped forward and separated the mayor from the crowd. The townspeople immediately became agitated, but in the end they did not make any changes.

It's not because of magic. After all, they have also received magic education, but they didn't become official mages in the end. Most of them were even directly dismissed from the apprentice school.

They knew the limitations of mages. There were only five mages. They rushed up or dispersed in a crowd. Maybe they really resisted, but with those fifty ordinary soldiers, it was almost impossible to resist.

Not to mention, the empire is in the foreground, their hearts are not in harmony, and under mutual suspicion, how many people are willing to sacrifice their lives for others to resist?
Then, Hatton continued to roll the roll, and he didn't need to pull people at this time. He called one, and the townspeople would look at it, and the soldiers would rush to grab that one.

Until nearly half of the people were named and pulled out, Hatton seemed to be a little bit more interested, but he didn't play tricks after all.

And as more and more people were pointed out, the people on the mayor's side seemed to gradually realize why they were pulled out alone, and their expressions gradually became a little panicked and uneasy.

"Eddie, Zach, you take these people out of town first." Ogg ordered.

Zac is another junior mage in the five-person trial team. Xia Duo and Zac looked at each other with doubts in their eyes, but they still had to obey the order.

These ordinary soldiers should have undergone a lot of training in advance, and the two teams belonging to Xia Duo and Zac immediately pointed their weapons at the mayor and others who were surrounded.

These nearly a hundred people were pointed at by twenty people with weapons, and they were taken away in such a numb manner without any sense of resistance. Xia Duo doubted the use of the so-called demon belief.

"Zach, do you know what's going on?" Xia Duo fell behind and whispered to Zach.

Zach also looked confused at this time, and there was even a trace of uneasiness in his tone, "I don't know, it's also my first time to perform a field mission."

After reaching the outside of the town, the hundreds of people who were being escorted reacted slightly. The mayor first comforted the townspeople, and then said to Xia Duo and Zach: "My lords, is there any misunderstanding here? We are all law-abiding civilians of the empire!"

Xia Duo and Zac were silent. Except for the aspect of childbirth, the laws of the empire are relatively loose for civilians. The only possibility is the "devil belief" mentioned in the mission.

But in "Eddie's" memory, there is nothing other than a demon that looks like a human being, is handsome, and is good at luring people to fall, not even a specific image of a demon.

As for the deeds of demons, except for the attacks that have gradually increased in recent years, more of them are literally "depraved", and there are no more specific ones, let alone Xia Duo, an outsider, even "Eddie" The native felt a little strange.

At this time, when it comes to judging the demon belief, apart from tasks and orders, there is probably no more psychological fulcrum to be found.

People always tend to stand on the perspective of "justice", no matter whether this "justice" is really justice, as long as it conforms to their own cognition, but now the judge's "justice" seems to be untenable.

These are ordinary civilians, are they going to be judged just because of a devil's belief?

Seeing Zach whose face gradually deteriorated, Xia Duo also sighed silently in his heart.

After a while, Ogg came over with more than a dozen townspeople, and at the same time brought the final verdict—these people are all demon believers.

"Eddie, Zach, what should we do with the demon believers?"

The empire does not have laws in this regard, but demons are the natural enemies of human beings. Referring to the attitude of the empire towards demons, it is the attitude towards demon believers.

only one word -

kill!

Before Xia Duo and Zac answered, the mayor and the others lost their composure completely. They also received the education of the empire, but they failed to become mages. They still know a little about demons.

Some people collapsed to the ground immediately when they heard that they were identified as demon believers. Most of them were so panicked and scared that they almost knelt down and begged for mercy. Only the mayor was rational and tried to explain one or two things:
"My lord, we are not devil believers, we are all law-abiding civilians, how could we be devil believers?!"
