Volume 2: The Scourge of Prison Chapter 45 The Shadows
After all, the defendant is a necromancer, how can he be innocent? And the big guys think he's guilty, so it's certainly right for him to hold up a red sign.
After holding up the sign, the civilian breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt a little regretful, he didn't expect the trial to end so soon, and he hadn't enjoyed it yet.
But after I went back, I also had the capital to brag about with my relatives and friends, ha, I also sat on the jury seat of the temple and personally tried a necromantic demon master······
—
The results are already obvious.
Judge Herb struck the gavel one last time and pronounced the verdict.
"After the trial and the verdict of the jurors, I declare that the Necromantic Master Nexus has been sentenced to death, to be executed in public at noon tomorrow. ”
A solemn and solemn voice pronounced the most cruel verdict.
The crowd was in a hurry.
"Kill him, kill him, kill him!"
In their view, if both the juror and the judge have declared him guilty, then he is a sinner.
As the person concerned, Fox didn't react at all, as if what the other party said was not him.
"Dissipated!"
Jurors and judges left the back door, and the civilians in the audience were kicked out of the temple by the guards. Witt yelled Kerr's name as he rushed to the dock, but was stopped by the guards.
Look, who was being escorted away, seemed to hear something, he turned his head, looked at Werther with an anxious face, smiled silently, and then his lips squirmed, and said something.
Then, he never looked back.
Despite being far away, Werther could tell what he was saying by the shape of his mouth, tears streaming down his eyes and memories of his childhood flashing through his mind.
At that time, they went to catch pheasants together and frolicked in the river, and this guy was actually very cautious, and every time the two of them quarreled, he had to apologize first.
Why is this happening·······
"Goodbye. ”
These were the last words left by Kerry.
—
Bang!
Nexus was re-thrown into his cell, the iron door shut, and the room was dark.
Groping his way to the bed, he sat down quietly, without cultivation and without sleeping.
Minutes and seconds passed.
He sat like this until midnight.
"You're quite calm, didn't you think what would happen if I didn't come?"
The voice came abruptly from the corner of the room, and a dark figure stood there without knowing when it was.
"It's too dark. The visitor complained, then snapped his fingers, and a ball of light appeared out of thin air.
The room was instantly filled with light, and you could see that behind the visitor, there was a passage, and it was pitch black inside, and I didn't know where it led.
"Now that you're here, don't talk that nonsense. ”
Nexus said lightly.
"Heh, the temper is not small, then let's go. The corners of Arcada Mies's mouth raised: "As for your place, someone will take your place, and tomorrow at noon, you will 'die' as scheduled." ”
"Let's go, then. ”
Kerx walked down the passageway, his form lost in the darkness.
Arcada Meese followed suit, and as he entered, the pitch-black passage vanished as if it had never appeared.
Soon, the suspended ball of light dissipated, and the cell fell back into darkness.
—
Two days ago.
The cell was opened.
"How are you?"
Unable to suppress the shock in his heart, Kerry blurted out.
Kerrs did not expect that he would meet the Bishop of the Red Moon Temple in Thanley Town, Arcada Meath, who had been in charge of the Awakening Ceremony for him at this time, in this place.
The thin Arcada Mees, still pale, looked at Kers and smiled, "What, don't you think it's strange to see me?"
"Yes. ”
To tell the truth, he was really strange, and he didn't know what the other party was doing at this time.
"Let's go in and talk about it. ”
Arcada walked straight into Kers' cell and sat down on Kers' bed.
"Then I'll just say it, do you want to leave here?"
"You're going to take me out of prison?"
"Almost, but don't worry, no one will track you after you're gone. ”
"What do you want me to do?"
Nexus didn't think his relationship with the other party was that good.
"Talking to you, happy!" Akada nodded with satisfaction: "Actually, it's not a condition, how to put it, it's a solicitation." On behalf of the Shadows, I invite you to join us. ”
"Shadows?" said Kerks, savoring the words.
"Yes, the Shadows. Let me introduce you first, the Shadow Ministry is a secret organization established by the Empire, and its members can be said to be mixed, including killers, businessmen, and politicians.
The members of the department do not know each other's identities unless they work together, and of course, we have the means to identify each other.
Each member of this organization is a person with outstanding talents in all aspects, responsible for performing some secret missions, and the members of the Shadow will eventually become the pillars of the empire in all aspects, the shadow of the empire, and the sharp blade. ”
"So you've taken a fancy to me? But I don't think I have any talent. ”
Nexus raised an eyebrow.
"Don't be modest, not to mention your talent in demonic energy cultivation, your abilities in other aspects are also very good, our dark absorption members are definitely carefully selected, and there will be no mistakes. ”
Arcada shook his head, then looked at Kerks: "You don't need to pay anything else, but there is a price, you can no longer appear as Kerr, not even your relatives, we will prepare a new identity." ”
"Don't you care that I'm a necromantic magician?"
"So what? We are an organization that lives in the dark, and the shadows do not exclude the most heinous people, as long as you are capable and willing to carry out the most dangerous tasks. ”
Arcada said lightly.
"Do you want to leave your old life behind and start over with a new identity····· Kerrs groaned.
"Rest assured, after joining us, we will provide security for your loved ones. ”
"Do I have any other choice? If I don't promise you, I'm afraid I won't be able to live this time. Nexus said, and then his mood became a little low: "I'm missing from their lives, it's best for them·······"
"Ha, don't be so pessimistic, maybe you'll be acquitted after you get tried?"
"Huh. Fox glanced at him.
"Then even if you say yes?" Akada Meese sat up from his bed and coughed, "I will come and take you out of here at midnight after your trial, then, goodbye." ”
He strode out, and with a thud, the iron door of the cell was slammed back shut.
