Section 37
Although Pedi's killing intent was not aimed at anyone present, for these surrenderers who had just laid down their arms, Pedi was targeting them...
Instinctive fear began to creep through their hearts, and the desire to survive made them look at the weapon they had thrown away again!
"My lord!" Hades quickly noticed the strange situation of these people around him, although he knew very well that these people around him did not pose a threat to him and Pedi, but unnecessary killings were of course avoided if they could be avoided.
Grand Duke Patved once said: Killing is the quickest method, but only a fool would do unnecessary killing.
"Huh?" Pei Di came back to his senses, and the killing intent in his eyes suddenly dissipated.
"You..."
"Just think about something. Pedi also realized that his attitude was very inappropriate...
"Whew..."
With a sigh of relief, he put the hammer on the ground in his hand, surveyed the trembling crowd around him, and finally, his gaze fell on the group of guards, "Are you really the guards of Sharptown?"
That's the answer Pedi wants to know most at the moment.
But the guards didn't answer his question for the first time, they lowered their heads and looked at each other out of the corner of their eyes, and in the end, none of them stood up to answer the question...
"You don't have the right to remain silent, and if no one answers my question, according to the laws of the Empire, I have the right to impose any punishment on you, including the death penalty!" Pei Di raised his eyebrows, "Because, you are openly attacking the nobles of the Empire, so if you don't want to affect your family, it is best to answer my question." ”
Pedi's words that he thought were majestic and persuasive gave the guards a little reaction...
When Pedi finished speaking, not only the guards, but also the remaining mercenaries breathed a sigh of relief... Of course, there is still nervousness and fear, but there is no fear.
Because, Pedi has shown his identity, the commoners in the empire are serious, and although the nobles are really hateful, they are all a group of guys who cherish their reputation, so these people are no longer worried that Pedi will kill his captives in such a public occasion!
"Yes, we are all guards of Sharptown, all the townspeople in the town can testify, we just do what we are told, we don't know that you are noble, we..." A slightly older middle-aged man among the guards took a slight step forward, took off the fur hat on his head and grasped it in his hands, and bowed down to explain, he tried to put the blame on Dana, who fell to the ground.
"Oh, what are you doing..."
"My lord, leave the interrogation to me. Hades couldn't help but interrupt Pedy's clumsy interrogation, and he glanced at the guard who spoke: "Of course, it would be better if Cowlier could be brought in." ”
Pedi was stunned when he heard this, and after looking at Hades's expression and the behavior of these 'captives' around him, he also realized that he might not be suitable for interrogation, so he nodded, and planned to let the three Collier, who were on guard outside the door, in...
"Pedi!"
Andy's voice suddenly sounded, and at the same time, he was accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, these noisy sounds came from far and near, and soon, a familiar figure appeared at the door of the hotel.
...
The mayor of Sharptown, named Webber, was a typical Twak man, dressed in plain leather ring armor, with unkempt hair unkempt and a long beard that obscured almost half of his face.
The men brought by Mayor Webb quickly took control of the nearby mercenaries and guards, but Pedi did not let them take them away, and the people of the town government were helpless, because according to imperial law, these people were temporarily captured by Pedi, and he had the right to do anything with them.
So in the end, everyone was locked up in a cramped tavern cellar ...
Dana and Corey, on the other hand, were held in solitary confinement, and before being imprisoned, Pedi also gave them a simple treatment with Holy Power to prevent them from bleeding to death.
Mayor Webber showed due humility to Pedy, but he didn't stammer, and after a brief exchange of greetings, he went straight to the point and asked about what had just happened...
However, this kind of thing is naturally not going to be answered by Petdy like a prisoner, because the status of the two people is not equal at all, so he handed it all over to me Hades.
Mayor Webb was so calm, or rather overcalm, that even when Hades complained about what the town guards and Captain Dana had done, he didn't react.
This made Pei Di, who had been observing Webb, a little suspicious, and he wondered if the mayor was in collusion with the sabertooth mercenary group, but, only to suspicion, he had not yet made all his thoughts public.
However, the two officers from the guard office who came along showed great interest in what was happening here, and they kept asking Hades about the murder and some details of the fight, and even tried to take away Dana and Corey who were unconscious.
But was decisively rejected by Pedi...
Moreover, according to Imperial law, the Imperial nobles had the right to interrogate their assassins within the limits of the law, so the two police officers could not do anything about Pedi's non-cooperation.
But Pedi didn't refuse outright, promising that the two men could be handed over to the guards as long as he asked for the answers he wanted.
...
"I'm very sorry, Sir Pedy, for the unpleasantness of your stay in Sharptown, and I promise you that the town government will give you a satisfactory answer in the shortest possible time, and I swear in my mother's name!" Mayor Webb's eyelids rolled with his lips as he spoke, which made others look very penetrating, and his smile was ugly.
This is perhaps the most fundamental reason why he has always kept a straight face.
"I don't intend to stay too long in Sharptown, you'd better give me an answer by tomorrow morning, so, you only have one night!" Pedi was not polite, and besides, his identity did not need to be polite to the other party, "Moreover, my people will also join the ranks of the investigation!"
"To-morrow morning you will get a satisfactory answer!" Webber promised, and then he looked at the blood-stained hall and said, "For your safety and that of Sir Andy, I think you should probably live in the towers of the town!"
"No, no one can kill a paladin within the borders of the Empire!" Pedi refused.
"This..."Webb was a little embarrassed, he looked at Andy on the side...
Andy said impatiently: "Mr. Mayor, you don't have to care about where we live, I need to eat now, but the chef of the hotel has been killed, this is what you should be concerned about now!"
Webber was stunned when he heard this, and he quickly reacted, "Of course, my lord, in half an hour at most, you will get a sumptuous dinner!"
