Outside the ruins of the Sheriff's Office in Tyre.

Towering bonfires crackled and lit up brighter than daytime.

Hanina walked around the ruins of the sheriff's office several times, while Pedi looked back and forth inside the ruins.

Half an hour later, the two met.

Hanina asked, with the heavy smell of smoke and the disgusting smell of the corpse burning, and said uncertainly, "My holy power senses the fluctuation of the magic element, but it is not too obvious, can you feel it?"

"Sir, you shouldn't doubt your holy power. Pedi frowned.

"I never doubted it. Hanina's eyes flashed, "It's just that the magic element here is a little strange, not very strong, and it doesn't look like a magic element when you feel it carefully..."

"A strange earth elemental magic," Pedi said with confidence, "I've asked the mage to take a closer look, and I'm sure it will come soon." ”

"Hopefully there will be results sooner rather than later. Hanina stared at the city defense soldiers in the distance, "This case is too suspicious, you seem to have asked the city defense commander what he told you." ”

Pedi knew what she was talking about, and he nodded, "According to Baron Lil, he organized the city defense forces to come to support the first moment of the conflict at the police station, and he said that everything he saw was the way it is!"

"Really?" Hanina sneered, "I'm skeptical, if his city guards really arrived in time, I don't think he would be able to catch even a single ......."

"Click!"

A soft sound interrupted the conversation between the two, and the two followed the voice, but it was Peruz, who made a sound on purpose to remind them of his arrival.

Hanina continued: "The standard configuration of the Sheriff's Office in Tyre is about twenty-five people, excluding the logistics and guards who escort the two witnesses, plus the guards on vacation, night shift, and patrol, when the Sheriff's Office is attacked, there are at least five guards on duty, and according to the regulations, there is also a battle magician. ”

"And to quickly take out five guards trained in simple tactics, and a full-fledged battle mage, at least two or three times as many... At the same time, the guards on leave and on patrol were attacked one after another at almost the same time, so imagine who these are?"

Hanina's face was gloomy and terrifying, "The most strange thing is that there is no body left of the attacker, only traces of carrying the corpse, what does this mean? It means that they had enough time at that time, enough to slowly dispose of the corpse of their companion." ”

"Baron Lill is lying!" Perus's voice rang out from the side, "When I entered this town, it was a completely different scene than what you saw. ”

"Oh?" said Pedi, looking sideways at Peruth.

Hanina also stared at Perus.

Perus smiled brightly, he looked at the city defense soldiers who were helping them guard not far away, "A few hours ago, when we just arrived in Tyre Town, the townspeople of the whole town were attacking the town government like crazy, so the soldiers of a squadron of the city defense force were too late to deal with the townspeople, and there was no matter of the air traffic control security station. ”

"Storming the town government?" asked Hanina, asking.

"Why did the townsfolk storm the town government?" asked Pedy.

Perus looked at Pedi with a smile, "It seems that a tax official from the town government gave a girl from the village when the nearby village was collecting taxes..."

Perus said this, paused, glanced at Hanina, and gave Pedi a "hehe" smile that all men understand, "Then, the people in the village naturally stopped doing it, and mobilized people to besiege the town government, originally the affairs of a village were not so difficult to negotiate, but I don't know why the townspeople of Tyre Town actually followed suit." ”

"Didn't the villagers report the case to the police station?" Hannina was even more puzzled, this kind of case is illegal if it is not registered at the police station, and the town government can arbitrarily press the name of a rebel and then forcibly suppress it.

But the current situation in Tyre is not like the 'rebels' that have just been suppressed.

"Perhaps, otherwise those city defense soldiers would have used force a long time ago. Perus shrugged and stared at the ruined vigilante, "But maybe not now." ”

The laws of the Locke Empire are strange, and Pedi, who has experienced at least two lifetimes, finds it strange.

The nobility here enjoyed countless privileges, but there were also some restrictions. The aristocracy was not absolutely powerful in front of the commoners, because the empire had the guard and the court to supervise them.

In Pedi's view, the original intention of Grand Duke Patved and Emperor Danediv I, who established the laws and institutions of the empire, was to allow the commoners and the nobility to live together relatively equally. However, due to the strong power of the aristocracy, a large part of the imperial laws they enacted were to protect the nobility, but a considerable part was to protect the rights and interests of the commoners.

In other words, commoners had the right to sue nobles if there was sufficient evidence.

However, even if a nobleman is convicted, he can pay a fine or negotiate with the victim's family to obtain forgiveness through money or other means, so as to reduce or eliminate the punishment.

In general, this is a somewhat deformed world in development. Both nobles and commoners had certain rights, so sometimes when something unpleasant happened, some conflict would break out.

This kind of event happens almost every day in the Empire, and the ultimate winner of the confrontation is often the aristocracy, after all, the commoners do not waste a lot of time in useless confrontations.

"Send someone to check the village, and the girl and her family, and of course the tax collector. Hanina instructed Perus, "Ask the townsfolk why they are following the commotion, and if any of them are organizing." ”

"Don't worry, sir. Peruth smiled and said, "I have arranged it, and I believe that there will be results tomorrow morning." ”

"Let's report to HQ first. Pedi suggested.

Hanina nodded, tilting her head and looking behind Pedy, "It seems that our dinner will be very rich. ”

Pedi followed Hanina's gaze, and Baron Lill was already approaching with a smile, and he deliberately made a loud noise to prove his approach.

"Baron Hanina, Sir Pedy, and the sheriff of Peruth, the mayor of the town, and the officials of the town hall have put together a nice party, and I think it will be a lot more fun if you can join in. ”

Baron Lill held the iron helmet in his arms, the smile on his face obscuring his small eyes to a slit.

"Of course. ”

Hanina agreed very happily, which made Baron Liel stunned.
