"Kill me if you want, Your Excellency the Archbishop. I have committed an unpardonable sin. ”

Jeno had a twinkle in his eyes, straightened his back, and replied in a sonorous voice, "It's all my fault." I killed Director Hood. ”

"No, it's me! It's me! It's me! ”

A skinny young man like a monkey pounced on him. His eyes were full of fear of death, and tears and snot came out in one go: "My lord...... It's me! I killed the fat pig! It has nothing to do with Captain Jeno! ”

"My lord! I cut off his head! If you want to kill me, kill me too! ”

"Your Excellency! It's me! It's none of their business! ”

Suddenly, the sound of pleading came.

Many people pounced on them, kneeling on the ground and begging Roland to kill them.

This is because in Bansar's law, theocracy is the ultimate in justice. All outstanding cases must be handed over to the bishop of the district, and the final decision will be made by the "gods", the results of which cannot be changed and must be carried out immediately.

At the same time, any priest of the district bishop or above has the right and duty to directly execute the person who has committed a capital crime. Even if the offender is a knight of another god, or a nobleman. If it is not a bishop, it will also be because of the . The reason for the bribery to change the verdict, Bansar will become the most stable country because of this law is also unknown.

But it is precisely because of this that being killed by the bishop has other meanings.

Being killed by a bishop means that the person is guilty. If he is a nobleman, his property and his wife and daughter are to be confiscated; If it is a Templar of another god, then that knight has no right to ascend to the realm of the gods.

And murder and blasphemy. Desecration of a corpse, either is enough for the death penalty.

Theoretically, Roland, as a bishop, could not ignore the evil that was happening in front of him. As a result, his actions were not questioned by the mercenaries of the God of Contract.

But at this time, it was as if they were scrambling for Roland to put him to death. It looks like a group of foolish people who want to ignore the law and want to provoke the judiciary.

- But the Templars of the God of Contracts didn't know the law? How can it be?

If they really didn't understand the law, the mercenaries who couldn't violate the terms of the contract would have been killed a long time ago...... Even if there is a god behind the back, it doesn't work.

But because of that. Roland realized something was wrong.

He and Gahalad looked at each other, and both frowned at the same time.

There is no doubt that there must be something strange in it.

Seeing the Glimpser pterosaur dead, Nanali on the side also came over. But she obediently didn't speak out to express her opinion, just stood behind Roland, looking at this group of mercenaries with a complicated expression, who she might never have come into contact with in her life.

"What the hell is going on?"

Roland's voice was still cold. But the tone slowed down a lot: "I'll give you a chance to explain...... Jeno, you say. ”

“…… Your Excellency, it was indeed me who killed him. ”

Jeno's mouth opened, but in the end he could only say in frustration.

Seeing that the people around him were about to quarrel again, Roland immediately interrupted him and guided, "Why did you kill that fat man?" What did he do wrong? Do you want to eat black? ”

"He has committed a capital crime, Your Excellency."

Jeno said categorically, "Perhaps in the law of the kingdom, he will not sin unto death...... But it seems to us that Director Hood must die. ”

So to speak. He motioned for Roland to follow, then walked over to the overturned carriage and lifted the camouflage hide, revealing its contents.

Suddenly, Roland was taken aback.

"Elixir?"

"Exactly. All are the best healing potions," Jeno said in a deep voice, "according to the laws of the kingdom, go. Two hundred and forty El Carter worth of gold coins can be sentenced to death. But these healing agents can't make up that number anyway......"

"So. Why did Hood choose to go. Illicit agents? ”

Hearing this, Jeno pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly. Didn't laugh out loud.

He opened his mouth and replied in a hoarse voice, "It's the plague, my lord." The terrible plague is coming...... You're coming from this direction, and you know about it. The plague on Carraar's side should be worse. ”

"That's right. Most of Karar must have been infected by the plague. ”

Roland nodded solemnly, and then asked, "But as far as I know, healing potions alone should not be able to relieve the plague." ”

"Indeed...... But. Those people in Caral don't know......"

Jeno stopped talking at this point, but Roland understood what he meant.

He's right. As long as the label is removed, no one knows what's inside the bottle. And the healing potion does heal the sick - in Roland's words, it is life-replenishing. If you drink it, you will definitely feel comfortable.

However, the fundamental problem. The [Plague]'s debuff is definitely unbreakable.

In other words, counterfeit medicines.

The fat man tried to make a huge profit by selling the superior healing potions that were only available in Bansar and Suze as an antidote to the plague to the nobles and wealthy people of Caral. In terms of the potions that Roland saw, there were at least eight hundred bottles. The cost of the healing potion is only three silver coins.

Assuming that each potion earns only one gold coin, and of course there must be more than one gold in the end, then Hood has at least nearly a thousand gold coins in his account. One third of it is definitely enough for him to come back and open up the relationship.

It's just a huge profit.

However, Roland has a question that he does not understand.

"IMHO...... The death or life of the people of Karal seems to have nothing to do with you Banza people, right? ”

Lilia finally couldn't help it and asked directly.

"This young lady is right," said Jeno with a wry smile, "although it is not good...... But it's true. ”

“…… Materiel. ”

Roland replied in the affirmative.

Jeno gave him a look of surprise, then nodded.

"That's right...... Military supplies indeed. These potions were intended to be issued to those stationed in the Legion in the north...... In that land dripping with ice, the wounds of the soldiers who were wounded in the battle with the frost spirits could not be healed at all, and the priest's divine grace could not keep up with their consumption......"

"And, once the Karars are provoked by Hood, there's a good chance they'll end up waging war against Bansar after the plague is resolved, or throwing the plague-infected corpses into Bansa's city with trebuchets, right?" Roland added lightly.

"It's great that you understand."

Jeno smiled bitterly and nodded: "However, the culprit is me. I was the one who murdered Hood, I was the one who killed him, and I was the one who desecrated the corpse...... Please don't kill these children, they are very kind and gifted people...... Unlike me, an old man who is in his fifties and only has a black iron rank, and may die at any time......"

"You think clearly. If I kill you, you will not be able to ascend to the kingdom of Ra...... Doesn't that matter? Aren't you afraid that your soul will fall into the underworld? ”

Roland asked.

"Of course I'm afraid. I'm scared to death," Jeno took a deep breath, smiled open-mindedly, and shouted back at the agitated mercenaries, "but...... Feed! Stinky boys! Don't fight! Anyway, returning to the Chamber of Commerce with my sins is also death, and it is better to die one than two! With the testimony of the archbishop, you will be fine, trust me! ”

"Ah...... I won't even be given a choice. ”

Roland suddenly showed a shallow smile, and a snow-white narcissus bloomed on his cold face, causing the mercenaries to pause slightly.

"But when did I say I'm going to kill you?"

"Adult ......"

"There is no doubt that you are not wrong. There's no need to do this, just straighten my back. ”

Roland's face was grim, and he rebuked loudly: "You should feel honored. The people you kill are the enemies of Bansa, the enemies of Karar - of course, you don't have the right to take the lives of others, but that's another story. ”

Jeno's mouth was wide open, revealing a look of disbelief.

Roland nodded at him and smiled gently, "I'll go with you to the temple of Ra...... I'll explain it for you. ”

Suddenly, Jeno fell to his knees.

He trembled, kissed Roland's boots, and asked in a low voice, "Your Excellency...... Pls your name ......"

"Roland. My name is Roland. ”

Roland leaned down slightly, helped him up, and said gently, "Remember, Jeno." You are righteous, and I testify to you in the name of the Guru that you are not an unrighteous person—" (To be continued.) )
