Chapter 61: The Execution Ground
In fact, as Annelot predicted, in order to find a reasonable explanation for Joffrey's death, the top brass of the Hawke Empire did issue an announcement, in which the already notorious Regner was charged with more crimes: betrayer, the initiator of the tide of death, the monarchicide, the murderer behind the assassination of Prince Joffrey, and the evil man who tried to subvert the continent.
As soon as the announcement of the imperial high-level was issued, it caused an uproar in the entire Melindel, and the people did not expect that the person who made this continent suffer was not the Stokers, but the military intelligence chief of the Hawke Empire! Various media in the imperial capital released reports exposing Regner's past crimes, and the people also reprimanded Ragner's behavior, if saliva could really drown people, I am afraid that the saliva of those who are alive is enough to drown Ragner a hundred times.
Happily, however, the Imperial Prince Alexander was finally caught and announced that Regner would be publicly executed two days later, executing the greatest sinner in human history.
Two days was also quite urgent for Anne Lot, so after learning about Regner's execution time, Anne Lott and the others worked day and night to crack the magic circle. As long as the seal of Regner's power is unlocked, then he is fully capable of escaping. As for fame, false accusations, or whatever...... No one cares about this anymore, it's good to survive.
"So, you're going over today, and the circle doesn't seem to have been unraveled, right?" asked Angelista with a yawn.
"Yes, I need to go over half a day in advance to check the specific conditions of the execution site. As for the circle, we can continue to analyze it when we get to Melindel. Annelot replied, coincidentally, the Empire finally chose to execute Regner in Melindel Square, which was large enough to hold tens of thousands of people, and indeed allowed many people to see the death of the continent's first sinner.
"Well, in that case, I'll go with it. Angelista shrugged, in fact, the Hawk Empire didn't know that she had helped Anne Lot, so even if she swaggered back to Melindell at this time, it would not be a problem. But after finishing speaking, the dark elf added: "But don't think about me helping to rob the magic field, I still want to stay in the human world for a long time, but I can't be like you and everyone shouts and fights." ”
Annelot glanced at the dark elves, "As you please." ”
"Ini, Irene. Annelot looked at the other two and said, "You need to stay here until we come back." ”
"We ...... too"
Ennylies was about to speak, but Erin stopped her: "Let's go back too, we just follow Master Angelista, and nothing will happen." We promise, right, Ini?"
"Ahh
"......" Anne Lot looked at the two men, but the expression on her face was still reluctant.
So Erin added: "Sister Annie, believe me, I have a reason why I have to go back, even if it's just in case." ”
Anne Lot was silent, Erin has always been a very well-behaved and sensible girl, and since she is so insistent at this time, there must be a reason for it. As for the reason, Anne Lot didn't ask—if Erin wanted to, she certainly did. Since she didn't say it, then Anne Lot didn't ask.
"Well, remember what you promised me, no matter what happens, I won't allow you to show up in public. Angelista, I've entrusted the two of them to you, is that okay?" Annelot's last words were addressed to the Dark Elves.
"They're them again?" Angelista was obviously a little unhappy with carrying two oil bottles, but still nodded reluctantly: "Okay, anyway, if they dare to disobey, I'll use force." ”
"Then we're done, we'll all do a magic transfiguration, and we'll ...... Go back to Melindell and save Regner!"
......
A rotten egg smashed into Regner's head, and the cold, sticky egg made Regner gradually come to his senses. He opened his eyes in a daze, looked around, and found himself tied to the cross of a prisoner's cart, and the road was now crowded with people, all of whom had apparently come to see off Regner. Farewell to Regner...... Damn it.
Syllable!
Another cabbage gang.
"My husband fought the founding war for the Empire, and my son fought in the Civil War, and neither of them died at the hands of the Stokers! They all died at the hands of the Stokers! They all died under the tide of death you started! You devil! You deserve to be cut by a thousand cuts! You are doomed to hell!" a woman carries a basket in her left hand filled with rotten eggs, rotten cabbage, and sprouted potatoes. It can be seen that the women have been carefully preparing for Regner's practice for a long time.
"Let them deserve to die, you idiots, the dead warriors who worked for the bullshit empire are fools, they are fools like me, fools don't deserve to live!" Regner glared at the woman, muttering to himself coldly.
"Sinners!"
"Devil!"
"Traitor!"
"I'm going to eat your meat raw!"
The noisy invective came and went, but Regner didn't react much to it, his heart had completely become cold and hard, what about scolding, scolding? Anyway, your relatives and friends are already dead, and I can't help you resurrect them, not to mention that it's not my responsibility in the first place.
"Is this your gift to me?" Nedhogg?" Regna thought silently.
"That's right, that's my gift to you, a real but dark real world, do you still like it?"
Regner was terrified when he heard this voice from the bottom of his heart, it was Nidhogg's voice!!
"Niederhogg, you're not dead?!" Regner roared in his heart, this Niedhoven is still not dead, what happened on the night of the assassination, what was he planning?!
"Die, when did I live?" said Nidhogg, sneering, "Do you want to know what I ended up doing that night? Why? Alexander must kill you, you know?"
"What?" Regner spat at a lewd middle-aged man who kept throwing stones at him, then asked through gritted teeth.
"I only did two things, the first one you already know, I squeezed the last of my mana, and cast a spell to directly kill King Ralvine, who was still in Melindell at the time. Nidhogg's voice kept ringing: "And the second thing, very simple, I sent a message to Alexander and Joffrey, that is, the final magic circle of the tide of death is on you, and only by killing you can this crisis be completely resolved, otherwise, the tide of death may reappear at any time." ”
“......”
"Interesting, isn't it?" Seeing Regner's silence, Nidhogg continued: "Killing a person and delivering another message can make the already calm continent set off a monstrous wave again. The human heart is really an interesting thing. ”
"Alexander would have believed that......" Regna thought silently.
"It has nothing to do with believing or not believing, this is the safest option to find after weighing the pros and cons. Nidhogg dismissed Regner's idea, explaining to himself: "Yes, Alexander was even sure that the message I had sent him at the time was a lie. Even I myself do not think that Alexander will believe it. I did this just to plant a seed in his heart. ”
"Seeds?"
"Seeds of suspicion! seeds of fear!" said Nidhogg exclaimed, "although he knows that information is nine times out of ten false, you have to be aware that nine times out of ten, not absolutely, in fact, even absolute is not enough to reassure Alexander." Because the risk he is carrying is the life of all the people on the entire continent! Therefore, even the possibility of one percent, one in a thousand, or one in 10,000 must be ruled out! And this is why he must send you to the guillotine. ”
"So, to put it bluntly, it's all just your divisive ploy. Regner replied reluctantly.
"No, I'm just letting you see the true face of this Hawke Empire. Before, you were very biased against me, but now, I think you will believe everything I say. Nidhogg's voice became muffled: "Let me tell you the original truth of the founding war, and the true face of the Hawke Empire!"
