Revy Magic Empire, Emperor. Feige St. Hall sat in a high-backed wooden chair, his hands with nothing to hold onto, but he still held the power of life and death. In front of him, two representatives of the craftsmen of Tawu Harbor City were kneeling tremblingly, and they did not dare to raise their heads when they spoke.

"All the bodies have been cleared, but it's almost impossible to tell who is who, except for the ones who are still wearing the family emblem armor after being turned into skeletons. This man's voice trembled a little, and he could hear that facing the emperor was more terrifying than facing a large burial pit with thousands of bones. "Your Majesty, there are a total of six thousand catties of weapons on the battlefield, including one thousand two hundred swords and two hundred ......"

"The exact numbers don't need to be reported to me. Bring the sword over, and give the rest of the metal to the Fire Dwarf Workshop. "As for the armor," said Feiqi, "take apart the armor with the family emblem, leave the emblem and give it to the clerk for registration, and send the rest to the workshop, where there is a shortage of iron." If the corpse is not easy to distinguish, bury it in a centralized manner, and then set up a tablet on it to indicate the time, cause and result of the war. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor. The two representatives of the craftsmen kowtowed to the ground, then walked backwards with each other's arms.

Feige frowned, and said to Sam, who is now the steward of the Imperial Hall, and has a combination of the roles of secretary and chief of staff: "Add a rule, people who enter the hall stand and talk, sit if their legs are inconvenient or too tired, don't kneel if you can, and raise your head if you can, because the emperor not only has to listen to the voice, but also to look at the expression, so that he can receive more information." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will prepare the chairs and send someone to teach these things to those who come in advance. ”

"You don't have to send someone to make it complicated, just write a bulletin board on the road. If you come in and kneel, whether it's one knee or both knees, you give a reminder. After waiting for the craftsman to leave, Feige said, "What's next?"

"Seven prisoners need to be beheaded. Sam said, "Your Majesty, you said before that you were going to carry out the execution yourself. ”

"Yes, I'll do it myself. Have they all been brought to the place?"

Sam nodded: "At dawn they were taken to the square at the foot of the mountain, and now it is close to noon and can be executed." Your Majesty, in fact, this matter only needs to be arranged by one executioner. ”

"This is the first execution sentence since I became emperor, and I should be more solemn. With a twist of his right hand, the Eye of Koktar unleashed an invisible phantom serpent that transmitted the scene below the palace mountain.

The seven prisoners belonged to the same gang and committed murder and rape by force of their villages, which is totally unforgivable. When the team found out about this, they immediately called for help from the Knights of Hell. Their arrest, trial, and execution will not bring the dead back to life, but it will at least comfort the dead that those of us who are alive have done justice for you.

At the foot of the hill was a wooden execution platform, and the seven prisoners were chained to a wooden pillar and their mouths were stuffed with strips of cloth. They were thinly clothed, had been waiting in the cold wind for a long time, and had completely lost the strength to stare at the crowd of onlookers. The troubadours standing on the platform were still reciting aloud their crimes and sentences, which could also be used as a "tax-free assessment" for the troubadours, so twenty people had already passed the work in the morning. The repetition of the book of judgment made everyone's ears calloused and memorized.

"Poor Daddy Kent, I asked him to let the bees go last spring, but I didn't expect to survive this winter. Someone under the platform sighed: "He is a kind beekeeper, he has never had any quarrels with people, and there is no threat, why was he killed?"

A little girl in the crowd replied, "Because the bad guys are too bad!"

"No, it's because I'm not there yet. Another voice rang out from behind her.

The little girl looked back, startled, and said while stroking her chest, "Don't use teleportation spells like this, okay?

Feige held the pit sword in his left hand, let go of his right hand, let the cat teaser levitate in midair, and then stroked the little girl's hair. "Thunder Bai, why don't you go to school today, why did you come here to watch the beheading? This is not suitable for children. ”

"I'm just short, I'm not young, and school is off today. By the way, I didn't come by myself, Roger came with me, why don't you criticize him?"

"Actually, I didn't criticize you, but I haven't seen you for a long time, so I came over to say hello. Fei Qi withdrew his hand, and there were no more people standing around him except Thunder White, all of them kneeling on the ground, shouting the slogan "Long live His Majesty the Emperor". "If I don't go to the front, they won't get up. Do you want to take the opportunity to find a front-row position? If you don't get scared by the beheading. ”

"Hehe, I know you're kidding. Thunder White strode to the front with a flick of his hand, and Feige took the opportunity to follow her through the crowd. He told Lei Tingbai to stay well, not to be nervous, and to talk to her about something after the execution.

When Feige became emperor, he deliberately expanded his influence, sending his own portrait to each workstation for publicity. Therefore, he became the first ruler in the history of the Yongli Continent to be recognized by his own people, and in terms of the correctness of his facial recognition, he was even higher than the Goddess of Truth and Thunder. Those portraits are mainly completely realistic, without exaggeration, no praise or disparagement, just simple charcoal sketches.

But that wasn't enough, Feige thought to himself. Only when he comes out of the painting and becomes a living person, so that everyone in the empire can see him and understand him, can he be followed by them. Therefore, after he walked up to the execution platform, he stretched out his hand to signal everyone in the audience to stand up, and then said, "You don't have to kneel down without moving in the future." Even if it's a lot of people, just crouch down in the front row and get out of the way in the back so they can see me. In winter, the ground is cold, and kneeling hurts your knees. ”

"Hehe", "Haha", the laughter in the crowd was even more uneven than "Long live Your Majesty", and the voice was much quieter. Feige didn't care, he reached out to the troubadour, and asked for the proclamation of the crime, which had been read aloud by many people, and which was already a little crumpled on paper.

"Have you confirmed their identities?" Feige asked the staff at the side.

Like other places, Tawu Port City has a resident team that is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the city. His composition is different from that of the team in the field, with the largest proportion of knights and stewards who originally belonged to the House of Hale to ensure that they can do their duty. Feige envisioned that the City Guard of Tawu Harbor would be converted into city patrols, and the managers were selected from this task force. In the future, the working groups in various places will gradually become government agencies, responsible to the lower administrative and the higher to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, just a few of them have been repeatedly confirmed by the relatives of the victims and survivors, and five of the seven of them have confessed. ”

"What about the other two?" Feige magically amplified the sound on the execution table for everyone to hear.

"The witnesses and their evidence are very conclusive, and they are innocent of their deaths. ”

Feiqi nodded, and said that he was ready to be executed, and a soldier stepped forward with heavy greatswords in both hands. "I don't need that. Feige waved his hand for the soldier to go down, came to the first man, and reached out to remove the strip of cloth from his mouth.

"You already know your crime, do you have any last words to confess?"

The man's lips were purple from the cold, his chin was covered with saliva, and his lacrimal ducts could not secrete tears, what else could he say?

After ten seconds of silence, Feige said, "As the Emperor of the Levy Magic Empire, the final verdict is given for your crimes of murder, rape, and robbery: the death penalty, which I will execute." ”

Feige lifted his hand, his index and middle fingers together, and gently placed it on the man's neck. He creates a spatial fault and cuts the prisoner's neck. There was no sharper decapitator than this, first blood spilled from the incision, and then, under the pressure of the heart, the blood pushed the man's sluggish head down, falling to the ground and gurgling.

"Uh......" The expression on Thunder's white face distorted, goosebumps all over her body, and she began to regret coming to the front row.

The second man was already frightened by the strange way he died. He also thought that he would be loosened, pushed to the front, and then decapitated by the greatsword, so that he could live for an extra minute or two. He suddenly felt that it was a blessing to be able to live one more minute, even half a minute. When Feige asked him what else he had to say, he said he wanted to live.

"Cherish other people's as if you were your own life, and don't inflict on others what you don't want to suffer. With a flick of his finger, Feige landed on another head.

Next, there were those who shouted loudly, those who cursed, those who begged bitterly, and those who pretended to be calm, but there was no one who did not turn around. By the time Feige severed the last head with his fingers, the execution table was already covered in blood, the first one had even begun to freeze, and the last one was still squirting. He used his magic to make himself spotless, floated to the execution table with his feet, looked at the shocked and silent crowd below, and said, "Don't do anything bad, you'll die." ”

In this setting, His Majesty's advice is more effective than any other time, and this is one of the purposes that Feige wants to achieve. Even if the Hell Knights can react and strike quickly with the assistance of a teleportation circle, it is still worse than fighting crime and preventing crime from happening. A stable environment is the only way to develop effectively, and Feige firmly believes in this truth and is determined to implement it. This method of public execution by His Majesty the Emperor himself is somewhat bloody, but Feige only pursues effectiveness, and personal image is not important in comparison.

He looked at the thunder white beside him, the little girl's face was pale, and she was still immersed in the scene just now and did not completely get out of it. She inherited some of the memories of the Goddess of Truth Thunder, but that doesn't mean that she has formed an emotional experience that corresponds to her memories. The scene of the destruction of the First World was much more tragic than this, but that memory is a story, far less than the reality in front of it.

"Say you're a child, don't believe it. Feige said: "Growth is not about the amount of knowledge you have, but about the ups and downs and experiences of your emotions. If you feel sick and vomit, no one will be able to see it. ”

Thunder Bai Qiang shook his hand, "Hurry up and say what you are looking for me, so I can divert my attention." ”

"It's nothing important, but I want to talk a little bit when I see you, and by the way, I want you to visit my new throne. Fei Qi and Thunder Bai walked along the mountain road towards the palace and said, "In the future, you will still have to call me Your Majesty in public." If you get too close, you may be in danger. And I am the emperor, and there must always be decency to maintain. ”

"I'm not used to that. ”

"You have to get used to it. "I will inaugurate the age of a man when there will be no more gods unless they are used as instruments of battle against the Creator." The Goddess of Truth Thunder is history, don't go in that direction. ”

"I won't!" Thunder White jumped up and stomped his feet, "Of all the fragments of the goddess, it is impossible for me to become a god. Have you forgotten, I don't have the goddess trait anymore, the union is dead!"

"But you're still a goddess shard, and you have a special identity, and maybe someone — or something else — wants you to be the new god. These people will approach you, build trust with you, and then influence you and encourage you. Fei Qi said as he walked, "Now that the mortal army has proven unable to defeat me, there are still two possibilities left on the Yongli Continent: the power of the church and the power of the gods. ”

"If you want to save the Yongli Continent, I won't attack you. ”

"Well, I know. I just want to say that in the future, man will be the master of the world, and God will only be a tool, not a tool. You've finally become such a lovely girl. ”

"You said people, what will happen to the elves, dwarves, and Tibetan women?"

"They are no different from humans in law, and I treat them the same as a goddess. Fei Qi smiled slightly, entered the palace with Thunder White, and walked all the way to the throne hall. "But they are different from humans in many ways, and if we don't confront these physical, habitual, and cultural differences, it's even more unequal. So I guess there will still be a lot of problems, and we have to solve them slowly with patience and wisdom. Hey, see my new throne?"

Thunder White looked up from the complex question of how different intelligent races should live in harmony, and saw six wagons parked in front of the palace courtyard, full of various sword weapons. These weapons were all equipment from the previous aristocratic coalition, and they were simply wiped down and transported to the palace at Feige's request.

The representative of the craftsmen who had come to the audience knelt down again and reported, "Your Majesty, here are all the swords. Twenty-two of the best swords and seventy of them with the coat of arms of the nobility were singled out and placed in the first chariot. ”

"Good work. Fei Qi said, "Work harder, and carry these swords to the hall." ”
