Lord of Hyranza

"... yes, death is just another form of rebirth to us."

"We step into another vast world..."

The three undead warlocks actually began to preach the teachings of the undead in front of the onlookers. The head of the law enforcement team did not want to procrastinate any longer. The torches were stretched out to the pile of wood, which was almost covered with corpse kerosene, and the fire was kindled in no time.

The flames were soaring high, and thick smoke billowed out, and Viscount Du Wei, who was wrapped in thick smoke and heat waves, was still laughing.

Under the smoke, his laughter turned into a violent cough and a howl of pain.

But those voices didn't last long, and the voices stopped as his body curled up together.

As for the other three necromancers on the cross, they didn't make any sound at all, as if the ones tied to the cross were originally some puppets.

As the flames devoured the wooden cross, there was a puffing sound of dripping oil in the flames, and an unpleasant smell filled the air.

There is no wind today, and the billowing smoke forms a straight column of smoke.

There were a lot of onlookers, and under the exclamation of people, the flames finally swallowed the wooden cross.

Those in the city who had lost their people cheered.

On the contrary, the nobles were terrified. All the nobles who had had close contact with Viscount Du Wei were worried that their handle would be grasped by the Suldak Consul.

Viscount Du Wei and the three necromancers were burned to ashes, and only some crisp bones remained in the ashes. With just a light touch, those bones would be broken into pieces.

Viscount Duwei's property has been completely seized, and his large territory outside Ruyt City has become the reserve land of the city hall. Everyone in Viscount Duwei's estate will be escorted to Bena City for trial.

Several servants found Viscount Duwei's skeleton in the hot ashes and put them in a jar.

This jar will also be brought to Bena City.

As for the three necromancers, there was no such treatment. No one collected their bones for them, so their bones only mixed with the vegetation and flowed into the sewer.

……

At this moment, the sun has already slanted to the west, and the city of Ruyt under the sun looks extraordinarily beautiful.

The crowd in the square began to disperse one after another. Many people were starving because they watched the execution. The civilians were talking about the execution, and many people were discussing the Viscount Du Wei.

He was once the most prestigious noble lord in the slums, and many of his actions benefited many poor people.

Up to now, there are statues of Viscount Duwei in the streets and alleys of the slums. Many people find it incredible that Viscount Duwei's kind appearance seems to have penetrated deeply into the hearts of the people of Ruyt City.

The nobles didn't all sit silently in the magic caravan waiting on the street, and they didn't whisper to each other.

Many aristocratic lords were actually quite worried that the Consul of Suldak would settle accounts after the fall, and Viscount Du Wei specially summoned many nobles to his home before this operation. Some information has already been revealed.

It's just that no one knew at that time that Viscount Du Wei would be so courageous, and his planned actions would be so crazy.

Suldak boarded the magic caravan, and then breathed a sigh of relief. The magic caravan slowly left the magic area. After executing Viscount Du Wei, Suldak felt more comfortable.

I still remember that just now, the president of the magic union said to Suldak: "The undead warlocks in the entire Tarapakan area are likely to be wiped out because of this incident."

He pinched the corners of his eyes tiredly, and he still had to do some aftermath work.

Fortunately, Ruyt City is undergoing urban construction, and the biggest loss in the city is the backfilling of more than 200 wells, and many civilians died.

The merchants and nobles were not affected too much. The only embarrassing thing is that those nobles who insisted on leaving Ruyt City now need a series of reviews if they want to return to Ruyt City.

Especially to prove to the prosecutor in the city that he has no connection with Viscount Du Wei... This is more difficult.

Recently, under the investigation of Samira, it has been verified that four noble lords have a very close relationship with Viscount Du Wei, and one of the noble lords owns a large area of ​​territory and has three logging farms. Viscount Wei provided a large amount of wood for making coffins, and now it is naturally inseparable from the plague event.

Once verified, the noble lords will lose a large area of ​​territory.

In the carriage, Suldak withdrew his somewhat confused thoughts. Seeing Siya, Samira, and Carrie Decker sitting opposite each other, Suldak said:

"You have worked hard during this time..."

Xi Ya said with a smile: "Boss, what should we do with the related nobles? This incident involves too much."

"All the nobles involved will be punished. Those with minor crimes will be asked to go to the city hall to pay the fine, and those with serious crimes will be confiscated from their territories!" Suldak said.

Xi Ya quickly recorded it in the notebook.

"Where's Naomi? Are you going to let her go back to the mine in the abandoned mining area to live alone?" Sia immediately asked the second question.

"Does Naomi have any plans?" Suldak asked Siya strangely.

If Xi Ya was unsteady, he would have thought that the necromancer would have gone back long ago.

"Naomi wants to stay and join the Lord's Army!" Samira on the side immediately added.

"Oh...then let her adapt to military life with Carrie Decker first." Suldak said.

"Yes, boss!" Carrie Decker agreed.

"What else is there?" Suldak asked absent-mindedly while looking at the dazzling array of shops outside the car window.

Siya continued to report: "I heard that Earl Allen Benton is ill, and it seems to be very serious. The city hall has received his suspension letter, so you need to appoint a logistics minister as soon as possible."

Surdak was a little surprised and asked, "What disease did he have?"

Xi Ya replied: "It is said that due to the infection of the plague, after the body weakened, various diseases followed one after another."

Suldak continued to ask: "Did Nika go to treat Earl Benton?"

"It didn't have any noticeable effect."

Xi Ya flipped through the sheepskin booklet and replied.

"Come on, let's go and have a look!" Suldak ordered.

"Earl Allen Benton has been recuperating in a manor outside the city recently!" Sia continued.

When the coachman heard what Suldak said in the carriage, the magic caravan immediately turned around and ran out of the city.

The road outside the city is not easy to walk, especially when entering the mountains of the aristocratic territory, the road is even more bumpy. Even Suldak stopped talking on this road...

When the magic caravan arrived at the Benton family's estate, it was completely dark.

The guards of the manor quickly recognized Suldak's magic caravan, and while they opened the gate to let it pass, they sent someone to the manor to inform the people inside to come out to meet him.

Suldak got down from the compartment of the magic caravan, led by Alan Benton's son, walked into the villa, passed through two inner courtyards, and entered a room in the back house.

When he saw Earl Allen Benton, Suldak did not expect that Earl Allen Benton was skinny and skinny in just a few days.

Lying on the bed, he opened his eyes when he heard someone calling softly, and smiled hard when he saw Suldak.

"Father participated in Viscount Duwei's plan..." Alan Benton said weakly to Suldak, and he could see the anxiety in his eyes.

"I know!" Suldak sat on the edge of the bed, and swam Alan Benton's body with holy light for a moment.

Finding that it was not because he was infected with the plague of blood, Suldak stopped the arm holding the holy light.

"But none of the young people in the family knew about this plan of my father. They are all innocent. The Benton family is willing to take responsibility for this matter." Earl Allen Benton became breathless after a few words , His forehead was covered with sweat.

Suldak hesitated before saying, "I know all of this, so don't worry that I will convict them. You should pay a fine and confiscate a large area of ​​territory at the same time!"

When he came to the manor, Suldak actually saw some magic caravans leaving the manor one after another.

When Suldak met Earl Allen Benton, he found that many people left one after another. Such an old aristocratic family declined rapidly because of old Benton's thought.

Perhaps because of Alan Benton's serious illness, the members of the Benton family are more like a piece of loose sand. Many people were still hesitant when they saw the Suldak Consul rushing over. At this moment, many young people quickly made a decision. Also decided to leave the manor as soon as possible to avoid punishment from the Suldak consul...

Chapter 1365 Price

……

Earl Allen Benton looked at the glass vase on the window sill with some nostalgia. Although the flowers in the vase had withered, there was a wry smile on his face, and the wrinkles on his forehead were so deep.

"Oululia, help me take those things out..." Earl Allen Benton called softly to the young man guarding him.

With red eyes, the young man walked to the cabinet without saying a word, took out a parchment file bag from the cabinet, and walked in front of Earl Allen Benton.

"Open it..." Alan Benton was weak, struggling to speak every word.

The file bag was opened by the young man, and inside were several land deeds on magic parchment and a gold seal.

The young man named Aululia handed over the title deed and seal to Surdak.

Each land deed has a detailed description of the area and land boundaries. Suldak counted them, and there are seven in total. The magic parchment at the bottom is not a land deed, but a letter of recommendation.

Before leaving office, each minister of logistics has the last right to recommend the next minister of logistics. The recommendation letter that Earl Allen Benton gave to Suldak is a recommendation that has been written and signed by himself In the letter, the only blank place is the name of the recommender, which also means that Surdak can fill in anyone's name on it.

With Earl Allen Benton's recommendation, Suldak's promotion of his own people can be smoothed out.

This letter of recommendation, those title deeds, and official seals were probably prepared by Earl Allen Benton for Suldak in advance...

Suldak saw a map of the outskirts of Ruyt hanging on the wall. This map can almost fully explain all the territories owned by the Benton family. There are large red graffiti on this map, and Suldak bowed his head again. Looking at those land deeds, I realized that the land deeds in my hand had all been wiped out on the map on the wall.

Suldak estimated that the seven land deeds in his hand occupied at least two-thirds of the land owned by the Benton family on this map.

Earl Allen Benton looked at Suldak, there was no pleading in his eyes, but a kind of anticipation before relief.

Suldak looked down at the several land deeds in his hand, put them together with the recommendation letter and official seal into the file bag, and then put them into the magic pocket.

"What happened before ends here." Suldak said to Earl Allen Benton.

Earl Allen Benton even felt a sense of relief in his eyes at this moment, and whispered: "Thank you!"

Then he slowly closed his eyes, with difficulty showing a faint smile on his face, and Suldak could clearly feel that the last trace of life in him began to disappear quietly.

Suldak rushed forward, trying to send some power of holy light into his body, but when he grabbed Earl Allen Benton's hand, his palm didn't even have a trace of warmth. Suldak Then he stretched out his hand to Earl Allen Benton's chest, only to find that his heart had stopped beating.

Immediately he stood up, and everyone in the room stood up and mourned for a short while towards Earl Allen Benton.

The wife and children of Earl Allen Benton entered the room, and the room was full of people.

Suldak took the opportunity to go out, stood in the corridor and breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the people in the manor knew that Earl Allen Benton was about to die, and the news of his death did not cause the manor to become chaotic. Family members returned one after another to say their final goodbyes to Alan Benton.

……

Suldak did not expect that the last wish of Earl Allen Benton was that his family would burn his body to ashes, put the ashes in jars, and bury them in the cemetery.

The wooden platform for incinerating the corpses was in the back garden. When he walked to the back garden, Suerdak discovered that there were actually two incineration platforms built here. They were all very burnable and grease-rich pine branches, and some kerosene was poured on them.

Each wooden platform is about three meters in length and only 1.5 meters in width. The firewood is placed very densely, which looks like a large single bed.

Suldak was a little curious about who owned the other burning platform, but it was not easy for him to ask these busy servants.

While hesitating in the garden, Suldak spotted Marilena in a long black dress, a black top hat on her head, and a black veil covering her face. The servant behind her even carried a The suitcase looks like it's about to go on a long journey.

She walked towards the gazebo where Suldak was, bowed her knees slightly, and said hello.

It has to be said that Mrs. Marilena is the best figure among the old Earl Benton's wives. Suldak turned to her and asked, "Mrs. Marilena, why are there two tables here?"

"The one lying on the other incineration platform is Mrs. Jenny..." Mrs. Marilena stood on the edge of the gazebo, looked towards the direction where the incineration platform was built, and said calmly.

Suldak thought for a while before he remembered that Mrs. Jenny was the youngest lady of the old Earl of Benton. At the funeral of the old Benton, the young woman with a clear face left a deep impression on him.

Afterwards, Marilena told Suldak the story of Mrs. Jenny.

Madam Marilena said that she actually wanted to tell Suldak something she knew at the funeral of the old Earl Benton last time, but unfortunately she didn't have the chance to say it at that time.

Although Mrs. Jenny was not a necromancer, she was very obsessed with necromancy during her lifetime. It should be influenced by family factors. Jenny liked necromancy since she was a child, and she often came into contact with some undead potions.

It's just that due to her talent, she failed to awaken the magic pool, so she couldn't learn magic.

Old Benton knew Mrs. Jenny exactly two years ago, when she fled Mucuso with her parents and had nowhere to stay, and it was old Benton who took them in.

Later, her parents left him in the Benton family. They were going to marry a young member of the Benton family, but it was discovered during the wedding that the person who married her was old Benton.

For this matter, Earl Allen Benton even had a very unpleasant quarrel with the old Benton. Although everyone knew that the old Benton was famous for being a romantic, but due to physical reasons and family honor considerations, everyone did not agree with him. I don't want him to marry another wife, because I don't want him to die in a woman's belly one day in the future.

It's a pity that the old Earl Benton did not accept everyone's suggestions, the wedding was still held as usual, and Mrs. Jenny became the last wife of the old Earl Benton.

It was because of Mrs. Jenny that old Benton came into contact with undead magic. At first, it was because the undead potion could allow him to find his own second spring.

Later, with in-depth understanding, the old Earl Benton's thoughts gradually changed, perhaps because of the fear of death, old Benton began to have a strong interest in the immortals, although he knew that the souls of the immortals would forever fall into the world of the dead, But immortality in another sense gave him some new ideas.

It was this young Mrs. Jenny who made old Earl Benton go down a road of no return.

This made Suldak never expect the truth to be like this, and he saw Mrs. Jenny's complexion was too pale at the old Benton's funeral, and thought that the death of the old Earl Benton had hit her too hard. I didn't expect her to be a lover of necromancy.

Thinking that if he knew the truth of the matter earlier, he might be able to discover Viscount Du Wei's conspiracy earlier...

Suldak shook his head vigorously, and put these thoughts behind him. There is no medicine for regrets in the world. There may be two planes with different time flow rates in this world, but that is not the reverse flow of time and space.

After Madam Marilena finished speaking, she let out a long breath, and secretly glanced at Suldak with her eyes under the black veil, and said:

"I'm leaving here, so before I left, I thought about telling the secret I kept in my heart."

Suldak turned and glanced at her, and said casually, "Are you planning to leave the Benton family and Ruyter?"
