Demon Gatekeeper [Unlimited]

It was only early in the morning, and the street in front of Dugumen suddenly became lively.

Dugu pushed the door open to look, and saw a large group of people standing on both sides of the street gesticulating and discussing something.Following the direction they pointed to, four people dressed as slaves dragged chains on their feet and carried a stretcher in their hands.

A middle-aged man was lying on the stretcher. He looked quite strong, but half of his left arm was missing, and his right leg was missing below the knee.He looks simple and honest, but with fear in his eyes, he looks at the crowd around him shyly, trying his best to cover himself with clothes that are not too big, and even wishing that he could get into the clothes.

"Dad!" A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl rushed out of the crowd, threw herself on the middle-aged man's stretcher, took one look, and immediately burst into tears, but said in her mouth: "It's good to be back, it's good to be alive." .”

Seeing the girl, the middle-aged man raised his head vigorously, as if he wanted to say something, but only made a sound of "ho ho ho".The dark red mark on the throat was revealed.

"This is the person who came back from the ruins?" The killer remembered the rules he saw when entering the arena. Life points will be deducted when entering the ruins. If the life points are less than the initial points, it will be reflected in the form of disability.

"That's right. But this man deserves what he deserves." The aunt next door held a melon that had just been picked from the field, and said while eating: "He is not from the local area. He came in after defecting to his relatives. What bards actually make up songs to satirize saints, and the lyrics are simply unhearable. If you want me to say, this kind of person who doesn’t respect saints should be taught a lesson.”

"That's right, he actually said that the seven sage teachers are puppets of the devil, fooling and deceiving us, saying that he treats the people as pawns and slaves. What a joke, who doesn't know that our city of order is the most democratic and free place in the world .” The aunt’s young daughter said loudly.

"It's better for this kind of person to die in the ruins. I didn't expect to let him come back." The uncle also spat: "He will never want to buy a fish from me in the future."

Only the eldest daughter didn't speak, she seemed a little absent-minded, and kept looking at the man behind Dugu.

That man looked taller and burlier than Dugu, and he wore a bamboo hat to cover most of his face, but the girl accidentally saw the other's face when he looked up. I'm afraid he will be overshadowed in front of him.

It's a pity that he is a slave, and his hands and feet are in shackles.Or passer-by, handsome in appearance, honest in character, and in good shape.A Niang said, looking at him like this, he will be someone who will love her in the future.

As the girl thought about it, her eyes drifted to Dugu again, and two blushes appeared on her cheeks.A pair of eyes filled with feelings of wanting to talk but still ashamed.

Crashing, the chains made a crisp crashing sound, Yu Yuan moved his feet and took a step forward, blocking the girl's sight.

As if someone had seen through her mind, the girl quickly turned her head to the side.

"Hey, this is the slave you bought yesterday. He looks tall and strong, and he is capable of work." The sound of the chain made the auntie also notice the person behind Dugu.

"What's the matter, I bought a fool for three times the price of an ordinary slave." The uncle still disapproved when he talked about this matter.

"Ah?" The aunt didn't know what to think, she stretched out her hand to lift the bamboo hat on Yu Yuan's head.

Yu Yuan didn't dodge or dodge, he let the other party kick him in a daze.The bamboo hat was raised, revealing a stunning face.

The aunt stared at Dugu angrily and asked: "Oh, I also know that you are honest, so you are also thinking about it. Don't think I don't know, this good-looking male slave is more attractive than the female slave." .”

Dugu, who was suddenly scolded, was a little confused, and he really felt a little wronged. Does buying a good-looking male slave mean that he has that kind of thought?He spent half the night blowing wind in the yard by himself yesterday.

But Dugu opened his mouth, but he didn't have the intention to explain.Whether it is a misunderstanding, it just makes the other party stop thinking about marrying his daughter, and saves the other girl from being delayed.

Seeing that he didn't defend himself, the aunt felt that she must have guessed right, and she became even more angry, twisting Dugu's arm, and said relentlessly, "Okay, you actually want to have an affair with a slave! I'm going to send you to the saint to be judged." !"

Yu Yuan sees her aunt coming to arrest Dugu, but she quits.Raise your hand to push the opponent away.

Dugu Yan quickly grabbed the man back: "What are you doing? As a slave, attacking the legal citizens of the City of Order in the street, do you want to kill yourself?"

"She...touched you!" Yu Yuan replied angrily, poking his neck.

"That's my business, I just follow behind without telling you to move, otherwise you won't have a share in the street." Dugu stretched out his hand to press the brim of his hat for the other party, covering his face, and said in a bad tone: "One day at a time You know you're going to get me into trouble."

Yu Yuan lowered his eyes and stopped talking.Wronged, like a lifeless wooden stake, stuck in place motionless.

Dugu turned to face the aunt who was pinching his arm again: "Auntie, I respect you, I call you Auntie, but we are not relatives, so don't treat me like a mother-in-law. The door of the trial court opened So, if you want to sue, you can sue, of course, I can also say that you falsely accused me of framing me. Anyway, right and wrong are all up to one's mouth, if you think you can definitely win me, then you are free."

"Oh, by the way, before you act, I advise you to think about the consequences." Dugu turned his eyes towards the stretcher in the middle of the road: "There are all the lessons learned from the past."

The aunt was about to reply, but unexpectedly heard a long bell.

The court opened.

Ordinary minor disputes do not need to be so formal.Generally, it is recorded centrally, and a meeting is held every month. The saints tell the events one by one, give choices, and everyone votes.

There are only two situations in which this kind of bell rings. One is that there is a very urgent and important matter that requires all the people to vote on the spot, and the other is that the case involves the saint and his relatives.

Dugu originally wanted to go to the bard's house to find out the situation, but when he heard the bell, he could only give up temporarily and walked towards the trial court.

He still remembered that he had to cover his face. He was worried about whether to make a fake beard or put some oil on his face, but found that during the trial here, he probably feared being hated when he raised his hand to vote. Will choose to cover the face, only showing a pair of eyes.

However, you still need to verify your identity once. Slaves and foreigners can enter, but they have no right to vote. Only the people of the City of Order can receive the cards used to vote.

The venue is very large, and it is no problem to accommodate thousands of people at the same time. The venue is semicircular, with a high podium in front.There are no seats, everyone stands in the open space and waits.

The seven saints entered in turn.

The saints were all wearing the same white robes, and they all had handsome looks. Those who didn't know it thought that the saints were selected in a beauty pageant.However, it is also understandable that in the case of one person, one vote, many people may vote based on their faces.

The leading sage looked older, and made a quiet gesture to the audience: "I called everyone here today because of such an incident."

"I believe everyone has heard of the wine of July Lian. It tastes fragrant and sweet, and it is the best wine among wines. It has been selected as this year's wine leader. This wine comes from the winery of Zheng Xiao, the younger brother of the sage Zheng Mu. But now it is sold by another winery. A winery made a counterfeit. The counterfeiters blamed them, saying that they were the inventors of the wine, and Zheng Xiao was the counterfeiter. So we called everyone here today to make a judgment on this matter and determine the ownership of Julylian."

Dugu felt a little funny when he heard it. Since the matter has not yet reached a conclusion, the saint is biased enough to his own people, directly saying that the other party is a counterfeit, and setting the tone for this matter is equivalent to stating his position on behalf of the saint.

In the city of order where the saint has such a great influence, other people will inevitably believe it without knowing the facts.

But the absurdity of the matter is far more than that.

Zheng Xiao was invited to the stage as a party to make a statement. He tearfully told how hard it was to brew the July Lotus. He brewed it day and night, repeatedly tasted the taste, went out of the city many times, and went to the dangerous mountains to find a more suitable recipe and so on.

Finally, he said: "The day when this wine was brewed happened to be July. When the first lotus flower bloomed in the pond at home, the fragrance of the lotus flower and the wine were refreshing, so I named this wine. According to my opinion You know, there is no pond in the other party's winery, and no lotus is planted."

"As a brewer, wine is like my child. I devoted all my efforts to it, but now someone wants to take it from me. Please support me, trust me, and help me get my child back."

After he finished speaking, he wiped the corners of his eyes, and bowed down again.Dugu heard that many people beside him had been completely aroused by him, and began to scold the other company for stealing the formula.

"Okay, after listening to the statement of the person concerned, those who decide to believe him and support him can put their votes into this box." Said the saint.

Dugu was even more confused. Since it was a trial, shouldn't he listen to the other side's statement?However, the excited crowd has already started queuing up to vote.

"No, they are lying!" A sharp voice pierced through the crowd, and the excited shout was still clearly audible in the chaotic crowd: "I brewed the July lotus, Zheng Xiao is the thief, he stole my You still slander me!"

The crowd turned their eyes away for a moment.

On the stage, the saint frowned slightly and made a gesture. Off the stage, a uniformly dressed slave rushed out, held down the yelling man, and stuffed his mouth.

The saint looked at the man with condemning eyes: "The court of justice is not a place for you to play tricks."

Dugu saw clearly that the other party was a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, not tall and a little thin, held down by several slaves, his face turned red from struggling, but he couldn't make any sound.

The saint over there gave the audience a wink, and someone answered immediately: "This man is too much, he stole other people's things and refused to admit it, and even came to the trial court to make trouble. I suggest that he be exiled to the ruins!"

"To the ruins of exile! Such people are not worthy of being citizens of our city of order!" Several people echoed.

Dugu was watching with a frown, one hand approaching him, holding a marked shell in his hand, and stuffing it straight into his arms: "Brother, hurry up and shout, with this, you can go to the Zheng family to collect money later." .”

Dugu was stunned to himself, this place looks like a slave society, but even the sailors would buy it?

He glanced at the shell, but Dugu didn't pick it up. He looked at the boy again, and felt that the boy seemed more innocent. After all, if Zheng Xiao hadn't stolen the wine formula, there was really no need to kill them all like this.

"Why, do you sympathize with the sinner who stole the wine?" Dugu, who was handing the shell, refused to accept it, but his expression turned sharp, and he stretched out his hand to grab Dugu's face scarf: "I don't think he is with the drunk dealer, right?" ?”

When he yelled, many people around turned their heads and stared at Dugu angrily, as if they were about to mobilize and attack him in the next second.

"Crash".Yu Yuan stood in front of Dugu one step at a time, but remembered that Dugu said not to move around, so he restrained himself from making a move.

It was the killer who pushed the man backhanded: "Why are you making a fuss?"

Dugu wanted to hide his identity, so he naturally didn't want to argue with NPCs, especially in a place with so many people.

He waved at the speaker, pointing to his own throat.Indicating that my throat is uncomfortable today, so I don't want to shout.

The man's face softened, showing a bit of pity: "Oh, it turns out he's a mute."

Dugu: ...

Well, dumb is dumb.

"Then you call?" The other party handed the shell to the killer again.

"No, there is no shortage of money." The killer slapped the opponent's hand away unceremoniously.
