Chapter Seventy-Two: Execution
"The Golden Mask is a magic guide made by the Holy Throne Wizard of the Red People, and there are up to three pieces. The role of the golden mask is very large, as long as it has magical powers, it can change any part of the person after wearing, whether it is physiognomy or height, and even can change ...... Special place. Watson had an expression that all men understood.
"The Reds have Holy Throne Mages, how could they be slaughtered by Jefferson when they are so powerful?" asked Lear.
"It's been a hundred years since the Red People had a holy mage, and they were killed by Emperor Horman a long time ago, and their witchcraft was broken, and now they are the same as savages. β
"Give me the golden mask and the sword, I don't want the rest. Half of it goes to the Earl's Court, and the other half is yours to divide. Now you're forcing him to transfer all the money in his checkbook. Lear said.
"Thank you, sir. Watson was overjoyed.
Lear took the golden mask and the high-grade longsword with its scabbard and placed it in his "dimensional bag".
The dimensional bag is a more advanced magic bag, and the magic bag can only hold half a person, but there is a cube space with a side length of two meters inside the dimensional bag, which can only be made by a high-ranking mage, and the number is very small. Moreover, the Dimensional Bag can only be opened with magic power, unlike the Magic Bag, which can be opened with Elemental Crystals.
The dimensional bag was too valuable, almost close to half of the Sword Master's weapon, and no one of the mages of the Lear family was willing to use it, and Lear immediately took it for himself when he knew about it.
He still can't communicate mana himself, but with the Contract Beast, he can easily convert mental power into magic by saving the step of communication. From then on, he could use the magic guide anytime and anywhere. Later, if you have time, you can even learn first-level magic.
Because the phantom butterfly has been sealed for too long, its strength is extremely weak, and it is still sleeping and accumulating strength. Moreover, the Phantom Butterfly, a powerful contract beast, is a large household that absorbs spiritual power, absorbing one-fifth of his total spiritual power every day. However, he didn't care, because he couldn't use it up at all, and the phantom butterfly was not consumed as fast as his automatic growth, which made all magicians jealous.
Orthodox magicians rarely use contract beasts, because contract beasts rely on the spiritual power of their owners to survive, and the more powerful the contract beast, the more spiritual power it absorbs every day. Only those mages who have poor mental fluctuations, but have a large amount of mental power, will sign a special contract beast, either for combat or to assist in spellcasting.
After a while, Watson told him that the transfer had been successful, and a total of 5.6 million gold carats had been obtained.
At the execution ground, Lear wakes Ness up.
"I'm going to kill someone, are you afraid?" asked Lear.
"That'...... Can I close my eyes then?" asked Ness, pitifully.
"Yes. β
Lear takes Ness out of the carriage and begins the trial.
It was early afternoon, and the autumn sun was high and cloudless.
The area around the execution site was crowded with citizens of Port Lear, and it was the first time they had seen the Count come to the execution ground in person. Along the way, countless people talked about it, and many deliberately exaggerated it, and in the end Jefferson turned into a pervert who killed a hundred women.
Viscount Jefferson consisted of twenty-five male subordinates and six maids-in-waiting, all of whom were taken to the execution ground. Huck then tied Jefferson to the post with his own hands and whipped him twice, causing Jefferson to be gagged, whining, and fainting from his injuries.
Instead of trying the case in the normal way, Lear used amplification magic equipment and said, "Among you, it's the citizens of Port Lear who stand up and walk to the left. β
Four men and two maids walked to the leftβthe six men who lived in the mansion and Jefferson was not there, and they were in charge of the house.
Lear ignored the six men and said to the rest, "I know that some of you are involved in the murder of my citizens, and some of you are not. If you are not involved, stand on the right. You don't have to look at Jefferson, he's unconscious right now. I kindly remind you that where you stand determines your fate!"
Twenty-two of the twenty-five men went to the left, and only three were left standing still, panicked.
Lear finally confirmed, "Did you three really encroach on us in Port Lear?"
One of them finally couldn't take the pressure anymore and threw himself on his knees: "Lord Lear, please spare my life, I was forced by Jefferson, and if I don't do it, he'll kill me." β
Lear smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give you a chance to atone for your sins, and you can see the people standing on the left and right, who have hurt my citizens." β
The man immediately pointed to the two people on the right and said, "Sam and Jack were involved, we enjoyed it together that day, oh no, it hurt a woman." β
Sam defended loudly: "My lord, I didn't, he's slandering!"
Jack also said loudly, "My lord, I swear to the Sword God that I have never harmed any of the citizens of Port Lear. β
The man said angrily, "You're lying, Sam, I remember what you said, you said you like watery women! And Jack, you said you like blonde bitchs." β
"You're lying!" Sam suddenly pounced and punched and kicked the man, and the two men fought. Jack goes up to help Sam, but the two guys standing in the middle also come out to help, and the five of them fight together.
And the surrounding citizens were excited, scolding and shouting slogans.
"Kill him, kill this dog, this mother!"
"Punch him, yes, right hook, punch him in the nose!"
"Fight, it's good to be dead!"
......
Lear watched their fight with great interest, and when the five of them were tired and sat on the ground gasping for breath with a blue nose and swollen face, Lear said, "Okay, the game is over." Lock up all the swordsmen with magic locks!"
Lear's knights stepped forward and locked the hands and feet of the five swordsmen with magic locks.
"Magician, cast a lie detection spell on everyone. The guards interrogated and brought the liars to the middle. β
The results came out quickly. Of the six Port Lear people, two men participated, while of the other twenty-five, seventeen men participated, and even one woman participated. And six swordsmen are among them.
Lear looked gloomy and said, "Very good! Moore, torture for five minutes, and then hang!"
I saw the garrison pounce like wolves, tie twenty criminals to a wooden post, and begin to use potions to torture.
Moore took out the dagger and slowly put it into Sam's mouth, everything to the right, everything to the left, and slice Sam's cheek open. Amid Sam's cries of pain, Moore pulls out a bottle and drops a potion into Sam's wound.
"Ahhh......h I saw that his wound began to turn black, and then the black gradually spread to his skin, and the black skin formed blisters for a while, and then disappeared again.
No one can imagine the pain that potions can cause without experiencing it firsthand. Sam's screams were so terrifying that even the citizens who had just applauded shut up.
Ness, on the other hand, closed her eyes and covered her ears, burying her head in Lear's arms.
