Chapter 284: The Taste of Power

The White Tower didn't keep Robert waiting long.

The day after Robert found Anvilia, and the same day that the Great Barrier was mended by the Grand Wizards, the news that the crazy Orlando would be sentenced to silver at dusk today spread through various channels inside the White Tower.

Although Orlando's story of blowing up the City of Fortune has been widely spread in this land west of El Carter, to this day, there are still a significant number of wizards who do not know who Orlando is.

However, the upper echelons of the White Tower naturally thought of this.

Information about who Orlando is, where he came from, what he did in the City of Fortune, and so on, is carefully listed on the notice, so that even a stilted wizard who never cares about current affairs and doesn't like to watch theater can understand what kind of person he is.

As the first major criminal to publicize his execution in the White Tower, Orlando has indeed attracted the attention of such a group of wizards who usually stay in the laboratory and never leave the house. In particular, the technical nerds in the R&D department received a notice directly from their test bench for the first time - for a moment, they even thought that their research had violated some taboo.

However, when they read the contents of the notice, they immediately understood why the White Tower wanted to execute a person with such fanfare.

This guy named Orlando is simply the modern-day dragon hunter Esther.

Not only did he defraud a considerable amount of wealth, but he also detonated the Holy Flame. The bomb destroyed a large number of laboratories, handed over the defense map of the White Tower to the temple, and dismantled the Great Barrier from the inside.

It can be said that if it were not for the rich heritage of the White Tower. There is also a tower lord in charge, I am afraid that the white tower has been like a city of wealth by now. It's on the verge of collapse.

At this point, the wizards immediately understood why the White Tower, which was known for its mildness in the law, would put someone to death.

This was the first punishment of silver injection since the establishment of the White Pagoda. But Orlando does deserve the treatment.

The notice also devotes a great deal of detail to Orlando's entire plan, starting with the letter fundraiser used to test the waters. The expansion plan for the next two phases is completely listed in the notice. Because Orlando's arrest was stealthy and swift, it wasn't until the eve of the execution that the wizards who had been deceived by Orlando realized that they had been deceived.

At the same time, in order to prevent demonstrations, Orlando will be executed a few hours later, starting when the wizards are notified.

Orlando also has a significant number of collaborators, the notice noted. These collaborators, both knowingly and unknowingly, help Orlando with advocacy on a regular basis. On the eve of Orlando's arrest, it was they who kept the huge amount of money held by Orlando, and it was they who assassinated those witnesses.

“…… It is hoped that the wizard who suffered losses in this incident will remain calm and immediately report the exact amount of his losses to the nearest public security bureau and wait for subsequent compensation. The relevant authorities have information about these co-perpetrators, and once they are exposed, they will be immediately locked by the 'Lookout' enchantment, and we hope that all wizards will actively report any suspicious elements, and your efforts will provide great help to more victims." ”

Robert half-leaned back in the chaise longue behind him. Holding the notice with one hand, he read it word by word: "...... We will surely give you a satisfactory answer to all wizards. ”

"Oh, it's the same as the truth."

Robert smiled disdainfully and threw away the notice in hand.

If it weren't for the fact that this notice was made up on the spot by a tall clerk with gold-rimmed glasses at his urging, perhaps he would have believed it.

The information and details of the hoax in Orlando do do look like the result of an interrogation. That's enough. Anyway, no matter how suspicious those people are, they can't interrogate Orlando themselves. And under the intimidation of that "co-criminal", naturally no one will risk being investigated by a certain department to defend Orlando.

Announced on the same day, executed on the same day. It's too late to march in the streets or something.

Even if they realize it's wrong. Five or six hours in an afternoon was not enough for them to investigate any useful information. And after Orlando is executed, no one will dwell too much on Orlando's death.

At most, they will urge Bai Tadang. The bureau quickly found those Orlando accomplices. Send their compensation money. And once you get caught up in the ball kicking link, it is equivalent to going to the home stadium of the top of the White Tower.

Basically. No risk is possible. Orlando will be punished with silver.

After the notice was sent throughout the White Tower, if the top management of the White Tower still wanted to have even a little credibility, it would never be possible to have the slightest remorse.

Now, those "smart people" who think more about it may have found various reasons for the top management of the White Tower in their hearts.

For example, the immediate execution of capital punishment on Orlando was actually intended to destroy the mental defenses of Orlando's associates. After such a swift blow, if the welfare of tainted witnesses is announced, maybe there will really be accomplices who can't bear the pressure and take the initiative to confess.

-- If Orlando really has a so-called accomplice.

Robert took a deep breath and felt a little happier in his mood.

He used to be such a smart man.

He always thinks that as long as he thinks a little more, he will usually be smoother. But today, he finally understands that the information he is exposed to when he is "thinking" on weekdays is just the information that others want him to be exposed to. What he would think, and then what he would do, had already been planned, and the next thing was just to make people laugh like a clown with his clumsy and full-body acting skills.

With that cranky kung fu, it's better to be down-to-earth. Even if you read one more book and put together a witchcraft formula, it's much better than pondering these useless things.

With Orlando sentenced to death, Herland's figure gradually dissipated in Robert's mind. The injustice that had been stuck in his chest was finally relieved.

Suddenly, Robert loses interest in watching Orlando's execution.

Even if he stayed on the land for a while, Robert felt that his time was being wasted.

"When the Great Barrier is opened, let's go back to Titan."

Robert chuckled and reached out to grab a glass of wine next to the chaise longue and put it in front of his eyes.

The crystal clear Caral round-bellied cup contains a dark red liquid like blood. The intense fruity aroma of Carral is condensed by the inward-closing rim, which is spherical and larger than the Ferrar goblet.

Robert stared at the blood-like liquid, took a deep breath, took a sip, and then tilted his glass and poured the rest of the expensive liquor on the floor.

"Herland...... Rest in peace. ”

He whispered, clasping the glass to his lips, which had no liquid, and leaned back as if he had lost his strength, giving his weight to the soft chaise longue behind him.

He didn't expect that his identity would work so well.

Robert sat up abruptly, staring at the crimson liquid that had spilled on the snow-white carpet, and inhaled in intoxication. The precious fruity aroma fills the room.

"The smell of rights...... It smells so good. ”

Robert whispered.

He finally understood why the old man kept holding on to his last breath and didn't let go, and why the elder brothers acted so unscrupulously one by one.

He finally realized what his status as a prince meant.

Ambition turned into a flame, gradually burning from the bottom of Robert's eyes. (To be continued.) )
