Looking at Cole, who was sleeping soundly, Katya, who had never been smiling, showed a trace of tenderness on her face, and unconsciously put her hand on his forehead and stroked it gently.

Ever since she and Cole had been helping out at the Academy, the distance between the two had begun to close rapidly.

Cole will often give her bouquets and other things, although Katya, who is from a big family, is unmoved on the surface, but he is very happy in his heart, plus Cole has a good family education and has never made a move out of the norm, these qualities of his add up, I'm afraid no woman can refuse.

By now, she felt that maybe she was really in love with him.

Katya didn't like him at first, but over time she suddenly felt that she couldn't do without it, because every time she saw him, it was at least a testament to the strange feeling that it could last a little longer.

Feeling the softness of his forehead, Cole opened his eyes and put his hand over Katya's, smiling.

"Katya. ”

Although she had heard him call her name countless times, but now that she heard it again, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart, and replied softly, "Hmm. ”

Perhaps anxious to express his position, Cole gently squeezed Katya's hand and got up slightly, "Katya, no matter what happens, I will be by your side." ”

Although it is a bit explicit, this is the most sincere feeling and the most real intention of the "stupid" Cole.

Katya's nose was a little sour, and she couldn't say anything else.

"Hmm. ”

"Hehe, I'll just say Cole isn't that kind of person, right?" The voice of the person hiding outside the door suddenly became louder, attracting the attention of the two people in the room.

"Shirley, Cole, come in. Katya retracted Cole's grip and pushed the frame.

"No, no, Lafago, let's tell you that the time of judgment is near. Shirley and Cole poked their heads in from the doorway to take a look, then left laughing.

"By the way, today is the day of the trial, Katya, you are the chief judge appointed by His Highness Rafa, go quickly. Naturally, Cole, who was jealous and hateful, would not delay the judgment of sinners for the sake of his children's affection.

"I don't know why Rafa appointed me as a chancellor. With that, Katya opened the new code that she had not yet written

"No way, who told you to be the most knowledgeable person in Icefield City?" Cole watched as Katya tucked back the hair that fell to her ears when she lowered her head, and decided that she was just an ordinary woman, not as evil as the church said.

"Are you hurting me?" Katya glanced at him.

"I have ......"

"Alright," Katya stood up and shoved the steaming soup bowl on the table into Cole's hand, "I'm leaving, remember to finish the soup." ”

"Hmm. ”

Watching Katya disappear outside the door with a book in his arms, Cole, who was smiling, drank the hot soup in his hand in one go.

Walking out of the room, there were not many people in the corridor of the city lord's mansion, and it was estimated that they had all gone to the square to see the execution.

The day after rescuing the imprisoned woman, Rafa had the Knights go from house to house searching every corner of Icefields City, not only the hidden dungeons, but also the spies and assassins who could search for them, and as a result, more than a dozen spies were caught in addition to the previous natives.

Forty or fifty of these people were a lot of people, so Rafa decided to put them on public trial, which was an example to the monkeys.

Katya walked out of the city lord's mansion, and the knights had been waiting for her for a long time, and began to escort her to the execution ground.

In the middle of the square are the tightly bound prisoners, who finally see what life is, and some of the prisoners cry bitterly, some shout that they are wronged, and some are silent......

Katya thought that killing so many people at one time would not cause panic and make everyone feel at risk, but what she didn't expect was that when people saw the women who were rescued, only skin and bones were open, they were all emotional, shouting to kill them.

One of them was the most angry, and that was the captain of the building, Kaido, who had disappeared like the other girls in Icefield City many years ago, when many people told him that his daughter must have left with the merchant, he didn't believe it, he knew that his daughter would do such a thing, he searched for a long time in Icefield City, during which he also went to Kosol City and Lela City, but found no clues.

Now, after many years, he learned from a neighbor who confessed to him that his daughter had been toyed with to death and then eaten.

Enraged, Kaido tore the man's face off the spot, and if the knights hadn't rushed up to hold him down, he would have torn that life into several pieces.

Walking over to the high platform where Rafa and Felihill were standing, Katya placed the codex she had written on the table in front of her, and glanced at Rafa.

Rafa, who had been gloomy, saw Katya coming, so he walked to the edge of the high platform, and with the blessing of Xingyin, he shouted with full of anger, "Quiet!"

I don't know if it was because his voice was too deafening, or because of his prestige, as soon as he spoke, the excited crowd fell silent.

"Let the trial begin. ”

Rafa stepped back, and Katya stepped forward and began to sentence them.

Except for those who were killed on the spot that night, there were forty-six people, all of whom were executed without exception.

When Katya had clearly pronounced his sentence, the knights, who had already been ready, rushed forward and put their guns to the back of the prisoners' heads, and Knight Kono gave the order, accompanied by frantic cries and neat crying guns, and everything came to an abrupt end.

The white and red were scattered all over the place, and the crowd in the square, except for Kaido, did not feel happy, they only felt terrible, what would it look like if these guns were put against their heads in the future?

After the execution, Rafa stepped forward again, "I repeat, if I find out who dares to harbor those sinners who are still hiding in the corner, the fate will be the same as them!

Most of the crowd in the audience were hardworking workers, and naturally they could not and could not help hide the thieves, so as soon as Rafa said the high price of a gold coin, the crowd began to cheer.

Rafa approached Kono and told him, "Be on guard, someone may be fleeing from Icefield City in the near future, if you see it, don't startle them and kill them quietly." ”

"Yes. ”

Breaking up the crowd, Rafa led Felicille back to the City Lord's Mansion.

Staying next to Audele, who was still asleep, he was in a slightly better mood.

"Aren't you going to tell me?" said Felihill, sitting on the other end of Audrey's bed, opposite Rafa, "your unusual secret. ”

"Well, what's there to say about that, innate. Rafa had been with Audrey for the past few days, and felt a little distant from Felihill, so he moved his chair and sat down beside her.

"Are you a witch?" asked Felihill again.

“...... I don't remember how many people I've been asked this question," Rafa said, helplessly, "I repeat, I'm a gentleman." ”

"I've never seen a human being with such incredible strength and speed. ”

"You're calling me not human?" he got up and made two cups of hot tea, one of which he handed to Felihill.

"Thank you," Felihill took the teacup and held it in the palm of her hand, "I just wanted to say that you have more secrets than I thought. ”

"You'll know in the future, just as you'll tell me your secrets yourself. ”

"I don't really have any secrets. Felihill took a sip of the hot tea and found that the sweetness was just right, and it seemed that Rafa had fully mastered her tastes, "My greatest secret is to establish a witch's holy land, but you already knew about it, and you brought it up before me." ”

"Hmph, when you first came to Icefield, did you want to imprison me and carry out your plan?" Rafa leaned out of her chair and faced her.

"Hmm...... Pretty much," Felihill pondered for a moment, and continued, "but it's clear that you're doing better than I am. ”

"Fili, you're really modest," Rafa laughed, "By the way, how did you arrange the three new witches?"

"Shaya can control the sand, so I asked her to go to the construction team every evening to gather a few sand piles, which saved the construction team a lot of trouble, Hongyan is the witch of fire, but her magic is not strong enough, I let her learn to deal with some defective products from the ironsmith workshop with Hedda Elle, as for Lucy, she can make the edges of objects slightly heavier and lighter, and her magic is permanent, and can be used in many places, both the ironwork and the cement factory have her magic. ”

"What about then?"

"She can break down things, naturally by going to cement factories to break down stones and making powder for me some special items. "Philisille knew that it took a lot of stone powder to make cement, and now with Shina, the output of the cement factory has increased dramatically.

Hearing that the witches were directly involved in the work of the factory, Rafa couldn't help but be a little worried, "Will their identities cause a commotion?"

"Don't worry, I always let them go to the workshop early in the morning or late in the evening, and no one should see them. ”

"Well, it's not the time for the witches to fully appear, we need more time. ”

"That's why we need to speed up production and have more weapons," Felihill thought of something and put down her teacup, "I've already made Lilith cut the field cannon you talked about last time, and I guess by tomorrow, Heddah will be able to make the first shell." ”

Rafa smiled, "Fili, since I woke up last time, I thought your fanaticism for weapons had subsided a bit, but I didn't expect ......"

"Just as a man wants to pursue a woman, a woman has to pursue something, right?"

"I completely agree with you, Miss Fili. ”

While the two were talking, Audele, who had been asleep for two whole days, muttered, as if she was about to wake up.
