Chapter XVI Charges

"Haha, how can you tell at a glance if it's a foreigner?

He comforted Phil and Pasha with the hidden meaning in his words, so that they didn't have to be nervous and flustered, after all, except for the local Biles, the remaining three were also nationals of Rune, and they did not contain the blood of the Southern Continent, just looking at the outline of their facial features, there was no speciality.

"But, however, this is a transcendent event......" Pasha replied with a slight stammer.

This cannot be judged by common sense!

Roy's heart froze, he looked at the citizens who were slowly approaching, without any expression, and hurriedly shouted in a low voice:

"Run!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and ran wildly towards the nearest street entrance, followed by Pasha and Phil.

As a native, Biles tacitly dragged it to the end, covering the surface of his skin with an illusory layer of fish scales.

Bang! Bang!

Several citizens raised their double-barreled shotguns and fired forward.

Roy, Phil, and Pasha are all extraordinary men who are good at fighting, sometimes changing direction as they run, sometimes making a well-fitting pounce, rolling forward, and successfully dodging this round of attacks.

Then, under the guidance of Pasha, they made their way through the streets, escaped from the pursuit, and hid in the shadows where no one was around.

"What should we do?" asked Phil, who had a broken hand, gasping, "Judging by the announcement, we probably won't be able to leave the city directly. ”

"We need to find out the pattern and find a way out of the law. Although Roy was also flustered, he still forced himself to think calmly, so as not to collapse the mood of the whole team.

Pasha glanced at Biles, who was on guard:

"Did that billboard exist before?"

Biles nodded:

"Yes, although I rarely had the opportunity to go to the town hall, I was there when I was drafted into the army, and I saw the billboard. ”

"There should be no problem with the billboard, and perhaps those two pieces of paper are the key to giving the written law a mystical meaning. Pasha voiced her guess.

Roy immediately agreed:

"Yes.

"Moreover, I suspect that the decrees will have to be published in order to be effective, and if we can find an opportunity to tear up those two pieces of paper, the corresponding restrictions may disappear. ”

After listening to Roy's words, Pasha, Phil, and Byers fell silent at the same time.

After a few seconds, Phil's face twitched and he said:

"Give it a try! If you stay trapped in the city, even if you don't get caught by those citizens, you may be punished by law for various reasons. ”

Although they are all extraordinary, their sequences are not high, and it is not a problem to deal with a few ordinary people, and it will be extremely dangerous to face the hostility of the whole city.

Roy, Biles, and Pasha were all men who had been on the battlefield to a greater or lesser extent, and knew that hesitation was the most undesirable thing to do at this time, so they made decisions one after another and agreed to Phil's proposal.

A group of four people, guided by the fairly experienced "hunter" Pasha, made a half-circle and sneaked back to the municipal square from another street.

At this time, the citizens who were watching the announcement were no longer here, and it seemed that the whole city was searching for outsiders.

Looking at the sign standing quietly in the center of the two gas street lamps, Roy and the others approached cautiously, ready to flee at any time.

After approaching the target, Roy suddenly thought of a question, and hurriedly lowered his voice and asked:

"Is it an illegal act to break a notice?"

"Theoretically......" Pasha said for a moment.

They then turned their attention to the bulletin board and browsed the crimes listed in the third law:

“......

"8. Destruction of public property;

“......”

"There really is. Biles blurted out.

Phil's face, which was already pale from blood loss, turned a little pale, and he thought for a while:

"What are the penalties for vandalism?"

This is only a less serious offense, and the corresponding penalty is likely to be lighter.

If that's the case, Phil plans to take a risk tearing up the announcement and putting an end to all this horrible and weird thing.

"The first offense is flogging. As Roy, Pasha, and Byers pondered their answers, a voice came from behind them.

The four of them turned around in astonishment and saw an ordinary-looking young man in a black robe and a top hat.

The man continued:

"A second offense is a severed hand.

"What a recidivist is, I don't know. ”

"Why do you know?" Roy asked, frowning, gripping the hidden dagger warily.

The young man smiled and said:

"I tried, that didn't work, and the announcement will be reinstated soon. ”

"So, you've been whipped?" asked Pasha abruptly.

"Hmm. The young man nodded lightly, "However, because I also committed fraud, I was later punished with severed hands." ”

"Fraud?" asked Byers, a little incomprehensible.

The young man smiled and replied:

"To put it simply, I didn't destroy the announcement myself, but got a dummy, and it was the same dummy who was whipped. ”

As he spoke, he raised his right arm.

His wrist, like Fill's, was cut off very neatly, and the wound, the skin was pale and reddish, and it seemed to be oozing blood.

Suddenly, the fracture wriggled, and one after another twisted and transparent worms crawled outward, they were entangled with each other, layered on top of each other, forming a new palm.

In this process, Roy and the others didn't feel a little frightened, because as soon as they saw those little insects who couldn't distinguish the details, their thoughts were confused, their thoughts flashed, and it was difficult to control their emotional fluctuations.

It wasn't until the palm of the hand "covered" the skin and became normal that the extraordinary ones recovered, and they took a few steps back at the same time in shock, suspicion, and fear.

The scene was beyond their knowledge!

"By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm a wandering magician. "It was Klein who committed fraud and vandalism just now.

He glanced at the four extraordinary beings and said with a smile:

"What I do best is fulfilling other people's wishes. Do you have a wish you want to fulfill?"

Hearing this, Roy perked up and asked with great hope:

"Can we get out of Berdan?"

"Of course, I'll do my best to do it, but not right now. Klein gave a promise.

Then, he looked at Phil, who had a broken hand:

"His wish is finished, what is yours?"

“...... Let my hand recover. Phil said tentatively.

"Good. Crane turned his gaze to Byers, "Take out his hand." ”

Biles hesitated, but did as the mysterious man instructed, took out the wooden box, and returned the palm inside to Phil.

"Come here. Klein then smiled at Field.

Phil plucked up his courage, took the severed hand, and walked over.

"Rip off the straps. Crane continued, "Put the severed hand in its original place, and remind you, don't do it back, or you'll have to cut it off and start again." ”

Seeing that the other party was so determined, Phil had some confidence, and his busy expression was extremely distorted, tearing off the strap that had been adhered to the wound, and kept hissing.

When he put his severed hand down, Klein took out a blank piece of paper and leaned over.

Then he reached out and wiped it on the fracture.

Silently, the white paper split in half, and Phil felt the pain disappear.

He hurriedly looked down, and saw that his left wrist was broken as before, and he couldn't tell that he had been injured.

Phil subconsciously moved his fingers and found that his flexibility had not diminished in the slightest.

"Your wish has come true. Klein took two steps back and said with a smile.

"Thanks......" Phil replied, a little stunned.

Klein looked at the other two extraordinary:

"What about your wishes?"

Seeing that Phil's wish had really come true, Byers immediately stepped forward and said:

"I want to know where my family is now. ”

With a flick of his left arm, Klein took out a silver mirror with a simple pattern, bowed his head and smiled:

"What's the answer to that question?"

On the surface of the mirror, the water light floats, and one after another the silver words stand out:

"Berdango Lorin Cemetery ......"

Seeing this, Byers, who stretched his neck, his heart sank, and a strong sadness and loss surged uncontrollably on his face.

In the next second, a new silver word jumped out of the water:

“...... of the Tomb Guarding Lodge. ”

...... What does this mean...... Biles turned his sorrow into joy and said sincerely:

"Thank you. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of two questions:

How many people can live in a tomb hut?

He has more than just two or three families!

Biles' expression was cloudy and sunny, and then fell silent.

This prevented him from seeing the problem on the silver mirror:

"Great master, am I kind enough to answer?"

"Hmm. Crane nodded imperceptibly and turned his gaze to the remaining lady.

Pasha thought for two seconds and said:

"My wish is that you please protect us until we leave Berdan alive. ”

She found Roy's wish very problematic, because it wasn't necessarily the living who left Beldan.

"Clever. Klein smiled and praised, "Your wish will be granted." ”

"And what price do we have to pay? I mean the reward for watching the magic. Pasha asked busily.

"Your desire itself is the price. Klein replied briefly, then asked thoughtfully, "If something you know is fake, but subjectively willing to take advantage of it, it shouldn't be a fraud, right?"

Roy and the others looked puzzled when they heard this, thought about it seriously, and shook their heads one after another:

"Definitely not. ”

"It's really a game between the two sides. ”

"Voluntary acts with clear awareness are certainly not fraud. ”

"Undoubtedly not. ”

After listening to the four people's answers, Klein smiled:

"Very well, that's what normal people know. ”

As he spoke, he grabbed his right hand forward a few times, and dragged out a female figure wearing a simple robe and long black hair.

That's the historical pore image of Arianna, the abbot of the Abbey of the Night.

Crane glanced left and right, and saw that nothing unusual had happened, so he smiled and said to the projection:

"Ma'am, what's going on?"

Arianna's eyes turned slightly, and suddenly they became dark, making people feel peaceful from the bottom of their hearts.

He said in a flat tone:

"The Patriarch of the Church of the God of War, Larione, has fled, and I am tracking him. ”

Arianna paused and said:

"When I came to Beldan, I received a new piece of information.

"Intelligence indicates that Larion took a seal with him when he fled.

“‘0—02’。 ”
