Tyrant Code

After hearing his words, Goldo glanced at the man lightly through the darkness, and suddenly laughed.

"Why should I promise you?" He said, "If you kill someone after you get out of danger, no one will come to save me. Don't talk about how much gold and silver treasure you will give me-if you lose your life, what will you do?" What's the use of asking for money?"

Black Cloak: "..." He seemed to sense that the young man in front of him was not a simple and ignorant character.

At the same time, the sound of chaotic footsteps finally reached the corridor outside the door.Those people held two oil lamps in their hands, and the faint lights were dangling in the dim corridor, as if they were searching one by one.

"Aren't you going to run away?" Gordon looked at the man holding the dagger with great interest. The man's breathing seemed to be disordered for a moment. He turned his head to stare at Gordon, and the dagger that was close to his throat seemed to tremble slightly. .

The black cloak warned in a low voice: "Please shut up."

He even had to say "please" to shut up the hostage...Gordo shook his head silently.

The black cloak was originally staring at Gordon, but at this moment he couldn't help turning his head to observe the movement in the corridor, as if he was thinking about what to do next.

Gordon found this man very interesting.

The doors of the hostel are guarded day and night.The black cloak broke into other people's rooms late at night, and did not cause any disturbance before, indicating that he might have been lurking in this hostel during the day, but he was acting as an ordinary guest.His pursuers surrounded the hotel, which led him to take the risk of breaking into other people's rooms to hide.After all, there were a lot of people in the hostel, and it would take a short time for those people to search one by one.But it is almost impossible to break through the encirclement of these chasing soldiers——

Unless, this black cloak has accomplices.

That's why the black cloak got the outside news in advance and left his own room.

It's just that the news didn't come in such a timely manner, and he couldn't escape.But he hid in Gordo's room, but he was not forced into a panic, but quite calm, just trying to delay the time... Then, it means that his companions may come to rescue him soon.

"...If you are waiting for your companions, I advise you not to let them come." In the silence, Gordo said abruptly.

Black Cloak: "...why?"

"Have you heard of the upcoming Imperial League?" Goldo said maliciously, "I heard that the team sent by Seranka's temple lives here. Half of the team members of each college are They are future paladins, and their sword skills should not be underestimated. They live in a room not far from me. If your companions come, they will probably be caught."

Black Cloak: "..."

Now he really panicked.The blade of the dagger gently sliced ​​through Gordo's skin.Gordo didn't think the black cloak was intentional, he just shook his hands after hearing the news, but the slight tingling from his neck still made Gordo gasp.

"...I'm sorry. Thank you for telling me this. Although I know you said that on purpose to let me let you go." The black cloak moved the dagger a little farther away without any trace, and said with a certain firmness in his voice, "But I can't die here."

You can't die, so I deserve to be held hostage by you in the middle of the night, so I can't sleep?Goldo complained silently in his heart.

Gordo was getting tired of playing the game of kidnappers and hostages.

Just as he held his breath and was about to strike back while the black cloak was loose, the door suddenly slammed twice.

Hearing the footsteps outside the door, the search troops were still far away from them, and now only one person was knocking on Gordon's door.

"Gordo, are you there, don't sleep!" Sai Lun's voice sounded through the door, "People from the patrol team are here to arrest the black wizard!"

The figure in the black cloak trembled visibly to the naked eye, and instantly stood ready.

Gordo, who was about to fight back, looked at the door panel speechlessly: "..."

I really appreciate you.

The black cloak turned his head, and before he could speak, Gordon yelled impatiently: "I fell asleep!"

Black Cloak: "..."

Salem: "..."

Sai Lun: "Who are you kidding? You can still yell so loudly while you are asleep? Come out quickly, Instructor Atricia called us to gather in the main hall—"

Goldo: "...you go first! I'll be right there!"

Sai Lun: "Can't you go with me? I can protect you on the way—"

Goldo smiled softly: "Are you sure you are protecting me?" He deliberately put emphasis on the words "you" and "I".

Salem: "."

Sai Lun suddenly remembered that as long as he could use magic, Goldo could knock him down within a hundred moves.

Standing outside the door, he twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment: "Okay. Then come here by yourself. Remember to move quickly."

As soon as the words fell, Sai Lun walked away anxiously.He was afraid that he would be scolded by Atrichia again if he went late.Atricia didn't have a good impression of him before. Since the drunken incident on the ship, Atricia has treated him like a scourge, and he will not let him approach Gordo in private. He has to talk to Gordo. Especially when there were many people, Sai Lun didn't dare to touch his bad luck.

Anyway, Gordo is not without the power to protect himself, and nothing major will happen.

Gordon, who is being held hostage: "..."

He listened intently for a long time, and after making sure that the sound of Sai Lun's footsteps had gone away, he said to the black cloak, "Is this all right?"

Black Cloak: "..." Anyway, it was Gordo's cooperation that surprised him a little.

"Are you a dark wizard?" Gordon asked curiously, raising his eyebrows.

The black cloak was silent for a moment, then replied in a low voice: "Yes."

Goldo: "Then why were you arrested? I mean...how did they find out?"

In this world, there are swindlers who claim to be priests, but no one dares to call themselves black wizards openly.But the number of black wizards is definitely not small.They often hold some gatherings and activities in secret, and usually live as ordinary people-this is a wise way to protect themselves that black wizards have experienced for a hundred years.

If a person is being hunted as a dark wizard, there are two possibilities.One is that he showed his black magic in front of ordinary people, and the other is that he was reported.

...that's right, report it.

If you find any strange behavior of your neighbors and relatives, and you firmly believe that it is caused by a dark wizard, or your neighbors and relatives are themselves a dark wizard, you can choose to report it to the local church.The church will immediately send clergy to check.If only under the influence of a dark wizard, perform a purification ritual.If he is really a dark wizard, then it will be lively, and people from all over the world will be invited to watch the burning of this unlucky black wizard.And when the former relatives and friends of the black wizard watched the burning, they would applaud in all likelihood.

This is the dreaded "Dark Judgment".

The black wizard next to Gordon usually wears a vest to see people.Just for some reason, the vest fell off.

"...Because of the plague." The dark wizard whispered, "The merchants who went overseas to do business brought back the plague, and it has now spread in the fishing villages around Simmons. Many people died because of it. As a The pharmacist used black magic to concoct a new medicine, which barely stopped the plague from spreading outwards, but I was also identified as a result of this."

Gordon gave a soft "Oh", as if asking an irrelevant question: "Who is the person who reported you?"

"..." The black cloak paused for a moment, and said with some pain, "It's my patient."

Goldo: "..."

If what the man said was true, it was a truly unfortunate encounter.

Goldo blinked, and asked as if he had found the point: "Are you a pharmacist?"

Black Cloak nodded.

Today's bright magic is roughly divided into three research directions, occultism, blacksmithing, and classics.The divination that Silia used before is a branch of occultism, and so is prophecy, so occultism is almost a pillar subject of light magic.

Due to the fact that the people who study dark magic are too scattered and limited by the environment, it is impossible to set up a special academy to pass on knowledge like light magic, so there is no obvious division of dark magic. classes, spells, curses and potions.Among them, the rarest and most difficult to learn, but it happens to be potions.Because it requires a lot of strange materials.As soon as people heard that you were going to collect these materials, they could immediately guess that you were a dark wizard.The black cloak probably fell off in the same way.

While Goldo lowered his head in deep thought, the black cloak asked hesitantly, "...Aren't you afraid of me?"

Goldo said casually: "Oh, no, I'm scared now."

Black Cloak: "..." You can't be so careless if you are perfunctory, right?

The black wizard felt sad for a moment, withdrew his dagger, and said dumbfoundingly: "If they were not afraid of me at all like you, I wouldn't have ended up like this."

Goldo: "What about the plague? It's under control now?"

"...It can't be regarded as complete control. My medicine is still in the experimental stage. The patients have shown signs of improvement, but now they should have destroyed all my medicine." The black wizard said, "There are actually gathering We have recruited some priests, but apart from those two or three priests, not many priests dare to enter the epidemic area, because they do not know how to purify magic, and only know to pray to the Holy Lord, which is of no use in improving the condition."

"That's how priests are." Goldo nodded. "Let me guess what treatment they used. Enema or bloodletting?"

"...All of them are used." The black wizard replied sadly, "It's simply a disregard for human life. I think their only purpose now is to let all the patients die as soon as possible. I think this way the plague will not spread again. But it is useless at all. -"

As he said that, the bright firelight and the sound of heavy footsteps quickly passed to where Gordo's room was located.

"They're almost at the door," Gordon whispered. "Where is your companion?"

"They picked me up not far away. But the premise is that I can walk out of this hostel." The black wizard muttered in a low voice, carefully opened the window of the room, and glanced out.Sure enough, the hostel was surrounded, and there were four or five cavalry at the gate.

Gordon took a breath and said, "Do you dare to swear that what you said today is the truth?"

Dark wizard: "I swear on my soul to Sam, everything I say is true."

Satsuma is the name of an evil god that is opposite to the Holy Lord.Legend has it that the evil god lends his power to believers, but this power is not free. He will take away the souls of these believers after death.But not many dark wizards are willing to give their souls to evil gods while they are alive.Because they are pursuing profound black magic—they have not yet touched the true meaning of magic, how can they just give up their lifespan?

Goldo: "..."

Fine.

He slowly raised the black wizard's hand holding the dagger: "Come on, hold me hostage."

The black wizard seemed a little tangled: "...Is this the way you want?"

Goldo: "Otherwise, do you have a better way?"

The black wizard was a little frustrated: "But to be honest, the credit for capturing a black wizard is great. If I kidnap only ordinary people, they won't have too many scruples, and I won't be able to leave."

Goldo heard the words, smiled and said: "Go out in a while, you will know if you try it."
