On the doorstep of the Baron's Court is the town square of Sunderland.

On weekdays, it was the busiest area, but now it has become a place of execution.

In the middle of the square, a temporary wooden platform was erected, on which the magician Dias was tied to a wooden column.

Next to him, a strong man in a black hood held a shiny steel knife with the blade resting on the side of his neck, and at the slightest movement of his hand, the steel knife would swing down, causing him to separate his head.

The square was already crowded with townspeople, and almost everyone in the whole town had arrived, and there were three or four thousand people, squeezing the square to the ground.

Standing on a stone platform behind Dias, the baron shouted: "My people, look at this man, this is a magician from the capital of wisdom!" And such a noble and powerful magician, but to get together with robbers and werewolves, become their accomplices, build catapults for them, and refine fire oil, is simply a shame in the capital of wisdom! ”

"Kill him!"

"Avenge the war dead!"

"Cut off his head!"

The crowd shouted angrily.

On the wooden platform, Dias's face was snow-white, and his body trembled uncontrollably. Death is coming to an end, and perhaps there are warriors in this world who can face it calmly, but unfortunately, Dias is not such a character.

He wanted to open his mouth and beg for mercy, but he was stuffed with a big potato in his mouth, and he couldn't swallow it, and he couldn't spit it out, so he could only make a 'woo-woo' sound.

At this time, Rosen arrived at the square, and under the guidance of several guards, he walked up to the wooden platform and stood beside the baron.

Baron Draco saw him arrive and asked, "Master, have you read the parchment I asked you to bring you?" ”

"Time was tight, so I skimmed through it, and it did work for me. Thank you, uncle. Rosen bowed and thanked him.

Baron Draco was in a good mood and smiled heartily: "Haha, it's good to be useful~ This thing was found in Dias's wooden house, and it is very well preserved, I have always heard that magicians like to carefully record their magic experience so as not to forget." Sure enough, I guessed it right. ”

After saying that, the baron turned and pointed to Dias on the wooden shelf, and sneered: "Look at that, that guy is not lightly scared. ”

Rosen naturally saw Dias's performance, he smiled indifferently and asked softly, "Uncle, what are you going to do with him?" Or rather, how are you going to kill him? ”

"Hmm~~ That's a good question!" Baron Draco reached out and twisted the beard on his chin and glared at Dias viciously: "I learned from a robber that the reason why I got rosacea was because of Dias's secret tricksters. After that, the boy deceived me again and again, and finally colluded with the robbers to attack Sunderland. If I kill him easily, I won't be able to quench the hatred in my heart! ”

"Did you think of a way?" Rosen asked. This Dias wanted to kill him several times, and for such a character, Rosen also wanted to get rid of him quickly.

"Hmm~ Why don't you burn it with fire?" The baron asked.

Lawson smiled, "That's a good idea, if you want to burn a little harder, I can help a little." ”

"Okay, then do it!"

The baron beckoned to one of the guards beside him, and when the guards came up to him, he said, "Go, bring some firewood from the house and pile it all under Dias's feet." ”

"Yes, my lord." The guard stepped back quickly.

Rosen said again: "Uncle, before the execution, I want to ask Dias a few words. ”

"Go ahead, but be careful, it's a magician after all, and the means are unpredictable." The baron reminded.

"Don't worry, I'm not easy to mess with."

Rosen stepped down from the platform, through the crowd, to the wooden platform where Upper Dias was.

When Dias saw it, he kept making a 'woo-woo' sound in his throat, and his eyes became very urgent.

Rosen looked at his bulging cheeks that were squeezed by potatoes, his mind moved slightly, and the power of alchemy wrapped around the potatoes, squeezing the water in the potatoes clean, and the volume of the potatoes instantly became several times smaller.

"Poof~" Dias spit out the shriveled potatoes in his mouth, and after a few big breaths, he shouted eagerly: "Lawson, I can't die!" I can't die! As long as you are willing to let me go, I will be your slave in the future, and I will listen to you for everything! ”

Rosen smiled: "Slave? Only those who are loyal and upright are qualified to be my servants, but you can't do it with a wolf's heart. If I let you go, one day you have a chance to bite me back, will you spare me? ”

"I know you can't trust me. But you can make a magic pact with me......"

Rosen scoffed: "Bullshit contract! There is no contract in this world that truly binds a magician. Well, Dias, don't talk too much, I'm not here to save you. ”

Dias's face turned pale and trembling even more.

Rosen asked, "I'm curious, why did you kill me the first time I went to Caopo Village?" ”

Díaz didn't speak.

"Say it quickly, or I'll make your death very, very painful!" Rosen's voice became cold, he raised his hand, and a high-pressure air mass appeared above his palm: "Trust me, I have the ability." ”。

Dias's face turned from white to blue, from blue to white, and finally, he whispered, "You know, I've been studying rosemacules, trying to find a cure. I don't want anyone to mess with my plans. ”

Rosen was a little incredulous: "It's that simple? ”

Dias looked remorseful: "It's as simple as that. You look like you're just a child, and the powerful female stalker doesn't happen to be with you. I thought I could get rid of you just yet...... Didn't expect ......"

"I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?" Rosen flipped through his hand, and a roll of parchment appeared: "This is your experiment diary." The Baron gave it to me. I looked at it and found that in addition to the normal experimental records, there were also a lot of memories. The diary shows that you were once banished from Nilogaard College. ”

"Humph!" Dias gritted his teeth and turned his head: "Now that you know everything, what else do you ask?" ”

Rosen continued, "The diary also says that your research on the healing potion for roseacea is only an incidental process, and your real purpose is to find a disease that can infect magicians. Once you've found it, are you going to go back to the north and quietly take revenge on a fellow magician, or maybe nitty, the Nilogaard Academy, right? ”

Dias tilted his head and didn't answer.

"Maybe my guess was wrong, but that's okay. I will go north in a while, and I will go to the City of Wisdom and bring your story to the Dean of the Academy, and I am sure that the Dean will surely record you in the history of shame in the history of the Academy. ”

"No, don't!" Dias shouted violently.

"Why?" Rosen asked.

Dias took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "There are people in the academy that I hate, I don't want her to know what I did, I don't want her to know my failure!" ”

"The person you hate, called Lilith?" Rosen waved the journal scroll in his hand.

"Yes."

"According to the diary, Lilith is a very likable girl, and you have fallen in love with her, so you have many rivals. In order to deal with your rival in love, you used some taboo methods, and as a result, you were expelled from the academy? Rosen continued.

"Yes." Dias nodded gloomily.

"You can't research a new disease to deal with a rival in love, right?"

"Of course not!" Dias gritted his teeth: "I'm going to kill Lilith!" After being expelled, I saw her true colors, she was a selfish and vicious woman, a poisonous snake! She took advantage of me and made me never recover! But my strength is not as strong as hers, and in order to take revenge, I can only use some shady tricks. ”

"It's a story with a lot of twists. Thank you for the reminder that when I get to the City of Wisdom, I will be on the lookout for this sorceress named Lilith. ”

At this point, Rosen knew what he wanted to know, and he stepped back.

By this time, the baron's guards had brought firewood, and they piled it neatly at Dias's feet.

Dias panicked and said loudly to Rosen: "Let me die quickly!" Please! Give me a good time! ”

Rosen shook his head: "I'm sorry, it's not something I can decide. Enjoy your last moments, Dias. ”

With that, he stepped back.

Dias was full of despair, and he roared madly: "Rosen, I curse you! I curse you not to die well! I curse you to be burned at the stake in the north by the madmen of the Cult of the Flame God! I curse you......"

Rosen's heart was unsettled, and his eyes were blank: "Save your strength, Dias, you should know that curses are ineffective against magicians. ”

In the game, the curse is a mental attack, a very wonderful means. If the cursed person is an ordinary person with a fragile and sensitive mind, then as long as the spellcaster shouts some vicious words at this ordinary person, it can have a huge impact on the psychology of the ordinary person, thus triggering the curse.

Over time, the psychological suggestion of the cursed person will affect the physiology, and the cursed person will have symptoms similar to curse words on the body.

However, if the cursed person is a powerful magician, or a spit scoundrel, or a vicious thug, then the curse will not be effective.

The so-called demons are also afraid of the wicked, and the principle is similar to that of curses.

Dias saw Rosen's eyes, unwavering, while in contrast, the ordinary people next to the wooden platform were full of fear and retreated, for fear that they would be affected by some evil curse power, and the two sides formed a very sharp contrast.

He was completely desperate and laughed maniacally: "Hahaha~ Why? Why, in a world full of fools, do I encounter all wise men? Why...... Hahaha~Woowoo~~ I don't want to die! ”

Nobody paid any attention to him.

Soon, the firewood was piled up and the flame was lit.

Under the scorching flames, Dias screamed miserably, and struggled for a full ten minutes before finally dying.

Rosen stood calmly on the high platform beside the baron, and continued to look through Dias's experimental diary, looking at it, his eyes fixed on the name 'Lilith'.

'Wisdom ~ Viciousness ~ Beauty ~ Powerful, playing most of the young magicians in Nilogaard Academy, what a wonderful woman. ’
