Arcane Lord

The next day, Xia Duo’s second field mission to join the trial court began. This time the mission was not performed by him alone, but a small team of five people, led by a mid-level mage named "Oge" .

In addition to Oge and Xia Duo, two of the other three are also mid-level mages. This team is quite high in quality. In addition to the wizard team, there are 50 ordinary soldiers.

Mainly used for chores, basically a mage, ten soldiers are allocated, if necessary, you can apply for more.

"set off!"

Oge gave an order and all the wizards summoned magic mounts, which are also standard equipment for the judges. Yesterday, they received a lot of [Summon Mounts] scrolls. As for ordinary soldiers, they can only run with them.

Of course, to say that it is not right to run along, they are running around. Fortunately, the speed of the mages is not fast, otherwise these people will definitely not be able to keep up with time.

...

This time I'm going to a place called "Lettuce Town". The mission is similar to the one that Xia Duo received yesterday. It is also to investigate the demon beliefs, but this time there is an additional removal mission.

When he reached the boundary, before entering the area of ​​Lettuce Town, Og ordered everyone to rest, let all the mages bless the spells, and then move on.

At the same time, two ordinary soldiers were sent to take the lead, shouting, "Come on from the trial court, everyone gather!"

When the wizards arrived, a group of people were already standing sparsely on the empty ground 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 women was not as good as that of Heishi Town, which he visited yesterday, when Xia Duo was thinking about what Oge would do.

I heard Oge suddenly yell, "Hatton!"

A thin middle-aged man emerged from the crowd, arched, flattering to Oge, with a smile on his face, "My lord, you are finally here!"

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

"Yes, yes." Hatton agreed hurriedly, arching deeper.

But as soon as he turned around, he stood up straight, changed his face, and proudly began to call his name, "My lord mayor, stand up, your business has happened!"

"Me?" At this moment, the mayor looked confused and didn't know what was going on. He looked at Oge with some doubts, but Oge didn't say a word, and Hatton, who received the signal, stepped forward and moved The mayor caught the crowd.

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

It wasn't because of magic. After all, they had also received magic education, but in the end they didn't become official mages, and most of them were straight down even in apprentice schools.

They knew the limitations of the mage. There were only five mages. They swarmed up or dispersed in a rush, and maybe they really resisted, but the fifty ordinary soldiers were there, making the resistance almost impossible.

Not to mention, the empire is ahead, and their hearts are not aligned. Under mutual suspicion, how many people are willing to pay their lives to resist for others?

Then, Hatton continued to call the names, and he didn't need to pull people at this time. He clicked one, and the townspeople would look at which one, and the soldiers would rush to grab one.

Until nearly half of the people were named and pulled out, Hatton seemed to have some meaning, but after all, he didn't play tricks.

And as more and more people 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 worried and uneasy.

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

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

These ordinary soldiers should have gone through a lot of training in advance, and the two teams belonging to Chateau and Zac immediately pointed their weapons at the circled mayor and others.

These nearly a hundred people, being pointed at by twenty people with weapons, did not even have any sense of resistance, and were taken away numbly. Xia Duo had some doubts about 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 was also confused at this time, and there was even a hint of anxiety in his tone, "I don't know, it's the first time I perform a field mission."

After arriving outside the town, the nearly 100 escorted talents reacted slightly. The mayor first comforted the townsfolk, and then said to Xia Duo and Zach: "Two adults, is there any misunderstanding in this? We are all law-abiding civilians of the empire!"

Xia Duo and Zac were both silent. In addition to fertility, the imperial laws were relatively lax for civilians. The only possibility was the "demon belief" mentioned in the mission.

But in the memory of "Eddie", apart from the devil's human-like appearance and beautiful appearance ~www.readwn.com~ is good at tempting people to fall, there is nothing else, not even the specific image of the devil.

The devil’s deeds, except for the attacks that have only increased in recent years, are more literally "depraved" and not more specific, not to mention the outsider Chateau, even "Eddie". This native felt a little abnormal.

At this time, to judge the demon belief, apart from tasks and orders, probably no more psychological fulcrums can be found.

People will always tend to stand from the perspective of "justice", regardless of whether this "justice" is really justice, as long as it conforms to their own perceptions, but now the "justice" of the judge seems untenable.

These are ordinary civilians, are they going to be judged with just one sentence of demon belief?

Seeing Zach whose face was getting worse, Chateau also sighed silently in his heart.

After a while, Oge brought more than a dozen townspeople over again, and at the same time brought the final verdict-these people are all devils.

"Eddie, Zach, what should you do with the demon believer?"

The empire does not have laws in this regard, but demons are natural enemies of mankind. Referencing the empire’s attitude towards demons is the attitude towards demon followers.

Only one word--

kill!

Xia Duo and Zac hadn't answered yet, and the mayor and others had completely lost their minds. They had also been educated in the empire, but they had not been able to become wizards. They still knew something about demons.

Some people suddenly collapsed to the ground when they heard that they were identified as demon believers. Most of them were very panicked and scared, and they almost knelt down and begged for mercy. Only the mayor’s sanity was normal and tried to explain one or two things:

"My lord, we are not demon believers, we are all law-abiding civilians, how can we be demon believers?!"
