I Am A Priest In The Otherworld

When Gallo knew the truth, it was already two days later. He only found out through the newspaper that he was innocent...

The newspaper described him as an unscrupulous gangster, focusing on criticizing him for accidentally wounding hostages, and minimizing the killing of cultists...

He was sorry for this for a long time, repeatedly confessed his sins to the goddess, and conducted a very deep review and self-blame.

After that, I made a lot of summaries and corrected some bad habits, such as acting secretly as much as possible; for example, first use insight magic to confirm when you start; and don't use large-scale attacks when you start.

Then the most important change is to kill as little as possible, so more often he insists on using confession magic to enlighten others.

Although it's always just blasting people's heads, it's all because those people are really evil!

In addition, he stopped talking to passers-by, and left as soon as he was done.

Somewhat ironically, that false report bluffed many people who were ill-intentioned and always worried that they would be approached by the skull crusher. It actually thought that the skull crusher was that kind of wicked and wicked person. Don't dare to take hostages to threaten him.

So Gallo has only encountered one hostage taking incident so far, and he has very little experience in this.

What's more, it was still daytime, and there was only a dazed person beside me, not even Amiah.

But it shouldn't be necessary for him to do anything today. There are already so many people on the scene, not to mention that there is a team of the Supreme True God Sect.

And this squad looked very powerful, consisting of two paladins, three priests and five crusaders, which was much stronger than the regular squad.

They must be very professional in handling such cases, and they should fully trust their professionalism...

"Anyway...you have to figure out the situation first..."

Gallo whispered.

At this moment, Wendini also noticed him and trot to meet him.

"Why are you here?"

She asked curiously.

"You may not believe it. We are here today to discuss security matters with Mrs. Carola..."

Gallo said dubiously.

Wendini showed an awkward expression, pointed to the team of the Supreme True Gods who was watching from the periphery, and said:

"It's a coincidence, this group of people from the Supreme True God Sect also came for this..."

Gallo didn't think much, and asked:

"Here is the hostage taken?"

"Ok..."

Wendini nodded, showing an embarrassed expression, and continued:

"Actually, it is a group of homeless refugees, a total of ten people. They either went bankrupt in the disaster or lost their relatives. In short, they ran out to retaliate against society, and then happened to break into the house of Mrs. Carola. Di."

"Fortunately, the lady went out at the time and was not kidnapped. Only some ordinary servants and maids were caught..."

Finally, she sighed again:

"Oh... in the past few days, robberies, thefts, fights and other cases have surged, and there is a serious shortage of manpower. Even our nine departments have been dragged to take charge of this kind of thing."

Gallo nodded, then patted Wendini on the shoulder to show sympathy and comfort.

It was only after such a catastrophe. During this period of time, poor public security was inevitable. Even the old bishop mentioned that there seemed to be people coveting the orphanage, just because there was a strong church stationed there, and they didn't dare to approach it.

The church district where the new church is located has also been stabilized by strengthening patrols, deploying paladins and crusaders to garrison.

But in other places, it’s not so lucky...

However, the city guard and the sheriff responded very quickly. The arrival so soon shows that the city owner is also making great efforts to rectify public order. I believe this chaos should be over soon, right?

It's just going to work hard for Wendini and them...

"Then how should we deal with this situation now?"

Gallo asked very seriously again.

He intends to learn how to deal with this kind of hijacking case. This aspect can be regarded as an obvious shortcoming and blind spot for him, and he should indeed learn the methods of professionals.

"According to the order of the city lord, it is better to use words to persuade as much as possible and avoid violence, so as not to arouse more riots and panic..."

"Of course, these people still have to be detained and arrested. After the situation stabilizes, the liquidation will be concentrated."

Wendini probably explained it.

Gallo listened carefully and nodded occasionally.

It seems that the first step is to persuade each other...

To persuade people to repent, to persuade people to reform and re-behave, surely can be regarded as persuasive?

I know this myself, and I am very good at it.

"Then if persuasion is invalid, what should we do next?"

He continued to ask.

"Then try some simple means first, such as falsely agreeing to their terms and letting them give up the hostages; or asking for negotiation, replacing the hostages with our people, and then taking advantage of the mechanism to convince them..."

Wendini continued.

Gallo listened and shook his head secretly.

I can't learn this method myself, I never lie to others, I never lie.

So he simply skipped this step and continued to ask:

"Then this method still won't work?"

Wendini shrugged and replied:

"Then try to consider meeting their conditions and let them release the hostages before chasing down..."

"If this doesn't work, you can only force the attack, but this is the worst option and it is likely to hurt the hostages."

Gallo nodded, and finally asked:

"Then what conditions did the other party propose?"

"They asked for 500,000 gold coins, ten fast horses, and they were willing to release people only after they left the city..."

Wendini replied angrily.

After hearing this condition, Gallo touched his chin, after a little thought, he said:

"That's still a strong attack, right?"

"what?"

Wendini was shocked, why did he skip to the last step?

The officers of other people's city guards are still trying to persuade, and respect the efforts of others a little bit!

At exactly this time, a **** thing flew out of the villa and hit the foot of the officer who was persuading me.

Take a closer look, it turned out to be a human head!

An innocent servant was killed...

Then, a lot of foul language came out from the villa, as well as a series of lewd smiles and women's cries...

"The people outside are listening, pay quickly! Otherwise I will kill all the people inside!"

"Didn't you explain it to you? It takes time to raise such a large sum of money..."

"Don't talk nonsense with Lao Tzu, no more money, we kill one person every ten minutes! Anyway, we have nothing, don't care about anything!"

"Don't talk nonsense with them, come and enjoy these women, they are worthy of the maids of the rich, all of them are delicate and tender..."

Gallo watched this scene, listening to these noisy sounds, his eyes narrowed slightly, his fists tightened.

He was obviously angry!

When ordinary people are angry like him, they tend to get hot in their heads and act impulsively.

But Gallo was the opposite. Not only did his mind stay awake, he was even more awake than usual.

This is a valuable trait he has developed in the process of making heavy blows.

So he first launched the insight magic, through the wall, confirmed the situation inside.

No traces of cultists were found, nor were they aware of power fluctuations. These people are ordinary people.

Ten gangsters and fifteen hostages were all concentrated on the second floor of the villa.

The weapons used by the criminals were mainly ordinary swords. In the chaos of the previous period, these weapons were not difficult to find.

But there are three people wearing a full set of plate armor and holding a crossbow, responsible for the first floor upstairs stairs.

This is strange...

Both plate armor and crossbow are strictly controlled products.

You must know that in this era of cold weapons, a complete set of plate armor is far more threatening than weapons, and a crossbow is much more powerful than ordinary hunting bows.

Ordinary civilians are allowed to possess light weapons such as swords, but are strictly prohibited from hiding plate armor and crossbows. Those who violate the prohibition will be sent directly to the gallows.

Even the private armies and mercenary regiments of the nobles can't own this kind of equipment, and weapons shops are not allowed to sell them.

And these two kinds of equipment actually appeared on a group of refugees, it could not help but make people think about it...

"Why do they have plate armor and crossbow?"

Gallo couldn't help asking.

Obviously, Wendini knew about this situation, but he couldn't say why, so he could only speculate:

"Maybe they got it from the dead soldiers' bodies?"

This situation may indeed happen...

Gallo did not delve into the matter, but retransmitted and suggested:

"This group of gangsters is extremely vicious, and the equipment in their hands is also very powerful. It's better to ask someone from the Supreme God to do it?"

Wendini looked in a trance, as if he had returned to the days when he was investigating the case together, when Gallo could always give various suggestions like this.

But she hadn't cooperated with Gallo for a long time, and she missed this familiar feeling.

So although Gallo shouldn't be involved in this matter, Wendini nodded patiently and said:

"They were willing to help, but they were only worried about hurting the hostages by mistake, so they waited for the city guard to persuade them before looking."

Gallo shook his head and said seriously:

"For such a mob, persuasion is obviously ineffective. I suggest that you should attack directly!"

"But what about the hostages?"

"This...I can try to find a way, can I get closer?"

Gallo asked.

He already had a general idea in his mind.

Although this villa is luxurious, it is not too big, and the distance between the first and second floors is not far.

And this group of gangsters, except for the three guarding the stairs, the others are busy bullying the maids.

Gallo then planned to sneak closer, and then through the wall, give the hostages a set of sanctuary magic.

Although this will severely weaken the effects of divine art, it can also protect them somewhat.

As long as the safety of the hostages can be solved, the remaining gangsters are just a mob, which is easy to solve.
