This Paladin is so despicable!
Chapter 184 The real sacrifice
"Do you not know, or are you pretending not to know?"
Wright's tone was lazy, but laced with ice: "In order to track down the traces of serial murderers, I once went to the police station to check the files.
Later, I discovered that the relevant information of those innocent victims had been modified by insiders.
Until now, I haven't found the damn mole.
Now it seems that it must be the handiwork of the city lord.
Coincidentally, in order to search for some clues, I once briefly browsed the crime files of Harbor City.
The police chief is a conscientious person, and his criminal records from long ago are very detailed.
At that time, I still had a doubt. I discovered that the number of criminal records in Harbor City suddenly increased at a certain stage.
I counted the time and found that it was the beginning of the booming development, prosperity and prosperity of Harbor City.
I thought at the time that the rapid expansion of cities and the rapid accumulation of wealth gave rise to more evil.
Now think about it...
The magicians you mentioned introduced by the Sea Clan probably appeared at that time.
They claim to be workshop magicians. After completing the mission of the Sea Clan, they accepted your employment, chose to stay, and established an alchemy workshop under the City Lord's Mansion.
It seems that the opposite is true.
It is not vice that thrives in prosperity, but sin disguised as prosperity. "
Having said this, Wright looked at the city lord with a smile: "I can understand you speaking for the workshop magician.
After all, they can make cities look richer and more prosperous.
As for the homeless people who disappear out of thin air, the beggars who contract strange diseases for no reason, and the cases of missing children that occur from time to time...
In fact, they are all just weird and urban legends.
Is not it? Lord City Lord? "
Facing Wright's question, the city lord sat down in his seat with a clang and remained silent.
"Lies are sugar coating wrapped around poison. This sentence was said by a devil. But the devil may not be the only one who actually does this.
Mr. City Lord, do you know why the guardians of the fishing village insist on passing down the truth from generation to generation?
Because, what is false is false, it cannot be true.
A liar can only maintain a lie if he knows it is false.
People cannot lie to themselves.
Otherwise, the price will be unbearable. "
While speaking, Wright had already stood up and reached out to touch the city lord's forehead.
"Wait, Your Highness, I..."
"No need, I will read the rest of the things I want to know from your soul myself. As for your life, I will accept it for now.
Don’t worry, all participants, perpetrators, and vested interests.
I will find them one by one and send them to see you.
So, goodbye, once the hero of the city, now the sinner of the city. "
Along with the surge of energy, the city lord's fire of life also went out. A painless death was the last mercy Wright gave him.
At the same time, Wright got the answers to some things in his mind.
Those so-called workshop magicians, as he deduced, settled here after successfully luring the fishing port.
They seemed to have gone to the small fishing village with a purpose.
Wright speculated that the destruction of the fishing village was the inducement for the Lie Demon's seal to weaken, and also laid the foundation for the Lie Demon's partial consciousness to escape in the future.
Otherwise, during the crisis in the Holy City, the Goddess of Holy Light would lose contact with the mortal world and would only have less than half a prayer time.
If the seal had been intact at that time, the Demon of Lies would not have been able to take advantage of it.
I really didn’t expect that Tower of Truth would start planning so early.
But there is no record in the memory of the city lord who the member of the Sea Clan royal family was involved.
Or, it was erased artificially.
Or, he is just a pawn and doesn't know anything about this.
Other mysteries include why the Little Mermaid Princess was captured and imprisoned, what were the destroyed underground workshops studying, and why did the Sea Witch's magic go wrong?
Still, no answer was found.
Looking at the corpse on the city lord's throne, Wright turned around and patted Unika, who was in a daze.
"let's go."
"Then he..."
"The new city lord will deal with these matters after he takes office."
"New...new city lord?"
Wright smiled slightly: "What do you think of your old leader, the police chief?"
"Director Wendager?"
Unika's eyes widened: "He...he is indeed a capable person. But, will other nobles agree?"
"What if there is a certificate of appointment and dismissal issued personally by the Pope of the Holy City?"
"Ah? This!"
Unica was immediately stunned. Legally speaking, religious power is greater than imperial power. It's just for the sake of the royal family of each holy country and the tacit understanding between the country and the church.
The church rarely interferes directly with the internal affairs of the Holy Kingdom. This is an unspoken rule.
But unspoken rules are unspoken rules after all. The fact is that if His Majesty the Pope really personally ordered Director Wendager to be promoted to mayor, then the royal family of the First Empire would have to hold their noses and endure it.
“But, this place is so far away from the holy capital of the Holy See, how can we get the appointment letter from the Pope?
It will take more than half a month to come and go, right?
not to mention……"
Before Unica could finish speaking, she saw Wright take out a stack of blank appointment letters with the papal seal from his arms.
He rummaged through it, picked out a slightly damaged one, and handed it to Unika.
"Just write it down for a while, and then go to the director to report the good news. Oh, by the way. Before he takes office, he should come to my place.
I have something to tell him. "
Unica looked at the blank appointment letter in her hand, and then watched helplessly as Wright rolled up a pile of papers into a ball and stuffed it into his pocket.
The whole person was messed up in the wind.
She had many questions to ask, but in the end she took a deep breath, gave up the idea, and followed quickly.
As soon as the two of them reached the gate of the castle, shouts came from behind them.
"It's not good, the legion commander, he committed suicide!"
Unica turned back to look in the direction of the sound, and then looked at Wright.
"This...isn't you?"
"No, but I don't plan to let him go. He is also involved in many things in the city.
He was one of them when he entered the fishing village.
Perhaps they had already guessed something when the thick fog came.
The city lord and the legion commander were both ready to die. "
Wright said as he walked out of the city lord's mansion.
"If they break their most cherished things with their own hands, the self-blame and self-hatred like waves will beat their souls over and over again until they can no longer hold on."
Unica turned back to look at the huge castle, and was filled with emotion for a moment. By the time she regained consciousness, Wright had already walked some distance away.
She hurriedly caught up, following closely behind Wright.
The two of them stood still on Lucerne Avenue, the boundary between uptown and downtown. Unica took a blank appointment letter and said goodbye to Wright, then turned around and ran to the Harbor Police Station.
Wright followed the descending road and returned to his grocery store.
Because everything in the shop is sold out, the shop is not open today.
But everyone in the city obviously couldn't care less about this small grocery store. After all, after the turmoil last night, the fog shrouding Harbor City finally disappeared today!
The big stone that weighed on people's hearts also dissipated!
The whole city turned into a sea of joy. Whether in the upper city or the lower city, the residents were rejoicing as if they were on a carnival festival.
As soon as Wright returned to the backyard of the shop, Lilith ran over quickly.
"You're back!"
"Well, how's the digestion of those negative energies going?"
"Hmph! It's a piece of cake. With this big wave of supplements, I will be able to swallow the power of blasphemy even faster."
Lilith waved her hand: "By the way, let's not talk about this anymore. The demon world, the greeters from the demon world, seem to be looking for you.
It should be something you ordered, and they have an idea. "
"Oh? That's great. It's just the right time."
Wright lifted his legs and walked to his room, while not forgetting to explain to Lilith.
"If someone comes to see me later, let him wait for me in the store first."
"Hey! Are you asking me to do such chores!?"
Lilith is very unhappy, but now, Alice is repairing and rebuilding Fairy Tale Town, and Emily is sleeping soundly, recuperating her depleted spirit and physical strength.
Unica has not returned from her trip, and the Little Mermaid is not suitable for public appearances.
Lilith had no choice but to sit in the shop and wait with reluctance.
After Wright returned to his room, he immediately opened the magic circle connecting the demon world.
Soon, Badrosa, the leader of the greeters, came to him on his knees.
"Oh! My great Demon Lord! Your most devout subordinates are here to sing praises for your coming!"
"Ahh..."
Wright glanced at Badrosa: "Hey, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your strength has improved!"
"It's all a gift from the Demon Lord!"
Badrosa kowtowed repeatedly, his eyes full of awe and gratitude.
"Among the divinities you gave me, there are exactly those parts that I urgently need. Not only me, but all the members of the entire Greeters organization have made great progress under your grace!
Our power in the Thirteen Hells of the Demon World has become more stable!
Moreover, we also used the remaining fragments of divinity to greatly expand our territory, increase our influence, and strengthen our organization!
Now, the status of the greeter in the entire demon world has reached the top level!
We will continue to follow your teachings! Continue to use your subjective initiative!
Try to make it so that the presence and absence of the Lord Demon Lord are the same!
Great Demon Lord!
You will find out when you arrive!
Your devout slave has cleared all obstacles for you!
Your loyal demon world is waiting for your arrival! "
Wright stood there with mixed feelings for a moment, and suddenly didn't know what to say.
I just thought at that time, let these guys play their own game, and come here to ask for instructions on this and that.
After all, this organization of greeters, like the Victims' Association, was not founded by itself.
Belongs to a voluntary organization.
He really didn't want to spend too much energy on this.
What if after this start, other forces will also form their own organizations and come to ask for their leadership.
Then, don’t exhaust yourself to death.
I never expected that it seemed like it was a bit too much.
"Ahem, let's not mention anything else. Did you find the [real] sacrifice I asked you to find?"
"Of course, my great Demon Lord! Please look! These are two excellent sacrifices we have found for you."
Badrosa took out two items and presented them with both hands.
"A monument to Zatarko's sin and a magnifying glass of events."
