Lord of Arcane

Chapter 457: Shortcut to Judgment
"Not a demon believer? Then Hatton said that you worshiped the 'Creator Goddess' is also false? Do you want to confront him?" Ogg said disdainfully.

"Creator God?" The mayor murmured, with relief and unwillingness in his eyes. Although he had felt it before, it was another matter to actually say it from Ogg.

"My lord, the Creator Goddess is not a demon, she is a true god, a good god, and it is true, my lord, look—" The mayor quickly put his finger into his mouth and bit a hole, blood flowed immediately.

But he didn't seem to feel the slightest pain at all, he raised his finger to Ogg, and shouted: "My lord, you see, the power bestowed by the Creator Goddess has a healing effect, and many people in our town have received it Help, how could he be a devil?"

Following the mayor's words, his injured finger healed almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But Ogg was not moved at all, and still did not change the previous ruling, and even urged Xia Duo and Zach, "Eddie, Zack, what do you think should be done?"

Whether it's a conflict of beliefs, a dispute of interests, or just because of the empire's attitude towards demons, Xia Duo, who was caught in the middle, regretted staying for the first time.

At this time, he could only let "Eddie" act instinctively, "Kill!"

At the same time, Zach also made his decision, the same "Kill!"

"Okay!" Oge clapped his hands and praised, "You are worthy of being a talent of the empire, and worthy of the cultivation of the empire!"

Then pointed out, an invisible magic missile whizzed out, pierced through the mayor's head, brought out a trace of brains, and whizzed through several townspeople behind the mayor until it disappeared into the distance.

"kill!"

The ordinary soldiers who heard the order did not hesitate at all, and immediately acted. The more than a hundred townspeople begged for mercy, dodged, and even tried to use the holy power to protect themselves, but none of them dared to directly resist from the beginning to the end. of.

Until nearly a hundred townspeople fell down, a large area was stained red with blood, and the stench hit Xia Duo's nostrils. For the first time, he felt that the projection plane was so real.

On the way back, the atmosphere became a little heavy, and no one spoke.

It wasn't until the team was approaching the city of Zilan that Ogg called Shaduo and Zac, who fell behind, "Do you think it's inhumane that the empire didn't declare the belief in the 'Creator Goddess' illegal in advance? "

Xia Duo glanced at Zach, but neither of them answered.

But Ogg didn't care. Instead, he said in a calm tone as if persuading his younger generation: "The name 'Creator Goddess' itself is a kind of corruption! If you say too much, it will attract the attention of the devil, you have to remember ! Try not to mention this name in the future.”

Xia Duo nodded. The name itself does contain power, and there are similar sayings on the main plane, but does this kind of public name similar to a title also have mysterious power?

But no matter what, Ogg was able to explain something to the two newcomers, and Zach had already accepted it, and his expression became a lot more relaxed. As for Xia Duo, "Eddie" was similar, and he himself still had doubts.

At this time, he also discovered that the Arcane Empire did not have a common belief, or that the belief was the empire itself, but facing the belief in the true god, there were still some shortcomings, especially for ordinary people at the bottom.

……

After returning to Kilan City, the second court gave Xia Duo two days off. On the third day, Xia Duo officially joined the second court, and there were not as many missions as expected.

Basically, if you do it once, you can rest for two days. The time is uncertain, and it will be triggered when there is a mission. There are still very few missions like Rapunzel Town that kill nearly a hundred people. It is more of an investigation, and then returns if there is no result.

But as long as there is something related to the "Creator Goddess", no matter how innocent and pitiful she is, she will eventually die. The empire attaches great importance to this aspect, and it is almost an untouchable red line.

There are hundreds of collective farms called small towns like Blackstone Town and Lettuce Town near Zilan City. The population of these small towns ranges from hundreds to thousands.

After joining the Second Tribunal, Xia Duo also gradually learned about the overall situation of the current Arcane Empire. The total population is nearly ten million, and there are nearly one million spellcasters.

This kind of number is simply terrifying. Xia Duo knew that the total population of the main plane Netheril is only a few million people, and there are nearly one million spellcasters here, which is really unimaginable.

Thinking about it this way, there are at least 20 great arcanists in the Arcane Empire, which is still relatively small, and there are 15 people in Netheril. Maybe they are hidden out of the need for the so-called war against demons, or maybe they are dead. In the middle of the war.

……

In the twinkling of an eye, Xia Duo's projection has been in the Arcane Empire for nearly a year, and the displayed spellcasting level has steadily increased to level 5. Although this improvement speed is a bit fast, it is actually not considered in the Arcane Empire with nearly a million spellcasters. too conspicuous.

At the same time, during this year, Xia Duo also did a good job as the chief judge. Under the psychological guidance of not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, he was successfully promoted to level 4 judge.

Of course, no matter how high a judge's level is, it's useless. If you can't be promoted to a judge, you will be a grassroots civil servant for life, and a judge at level 5 is the threshold for promotion to a judge.

This requires not only the support of the Shangguan, but also the achievement of one's own strength. Those who are lower than the middle-level mages will not consider it at all. The "Eddie" played by Xia Duo just meets the minimum requirements.

On this day, Osk called Xia Duo to the first court, which was also the headquarters of the trial court in Kieran City.

"Eddie, you've been in Kielan City for almost a year, right?"

"Yes, my lord!"

"Have you considered how to develop in the future?"

"This—" Xia Duo didn't know how to answer, did he want you to give me your seat?After thinking about it, he said, "My lord, I am going to apply for the Judicial Division."

The Judgment Division is the higher-level institution of the Trial Court. Being able to enter the Trial Division basically means having power and leisure. Promotion from the Trial Court is also considered a normal promotion route. There are almost no people in the Kieran City Trial Court who do not want to be promoted to the Judgment Division.

However, not everyone can enter the Inquisition Division. This is an absolute authority, and it is different from the empire of ordinary people. The authority of the Arcane Empire controls violence. Even high-level mages cannot say If you go in, you go in, and it's almost the same if you get caught.

Arcanists are fine, but generally speaking, Arcanists will be treated as grand arcanist seeds and join the research institute. This is not within the scope of Xia Duo's consideration at all. Even though the research institute may touch more things, there is still a review close.

And the most important thing is that Xia Duo cannot advance to an arcanist on the projection plane. What he came here is just a projection, not the real body.

So entering the Judgment Division is a good choice. This is indeed Xia Duo's true idea, but what he didn't say is that he actually doesn't want to enter the Judgment Division through normal channels.

As for the shortcut, just Osk in front of him.
