Chapter 240: The Day of Death

Deszel was killed.

In exchange for the support of the two major forces of Luskan to return to the Northlands, the Reptile Queen gave up her number one subordinate in the main plane...... There's nothing wrong with that. Deszaire's loyalty is not wrong, his faith is not wrong, the only thing that is wrong is - he is not a reptilian race......

Arthur and the others return with the corpse of Deszaire, once again igniting the craze of the Neverwinterians to chase after heroes.

Nasher's propaganda machine was running at full capacity, and waves of boasting were coming at them one after another. No matter how strong their resistance is, they can't help but get lost in the whirlpool of public opinion, and the scene is just like cooking oil on fire and brocade with flowers.

Because Erebeth forcibly broke into the dungeon and "accidentally wounded" the guards, he was officially ordered to leave his post and notified the whole city. The people who eat melons have expressed their understanding, one party is trapped by love, and the other party is business-oriented, and there is nothing wrong with it.

The temple had also suspended her as a paladin, and it stands to reason that Erebeth should have gone to the confessional immediately after receiving such a punishment......

But who knew that Sister A actually let herself go completely, staying at home every day to cook, chat, and spend her days leisurely. Not to mention repentance, she didn't even go to the temple! Now Archbishop Linton is a little blind, could it be that after Erebeth broke with the City Lord's Mansion, he still had to draw a line with the temple?

At this juncture, he was both repulsed and dependent on Sister A, and had to whisper to Erebes and threaten, "Aren't you afraid of losing your favor by doing this?" Are you still a legend without gods? ”

Erebeth replied, "Well, that's a question that hasn't been answered for years, and I want to try." ”

Archbishop Linton had nothing to say...... What else can be said? Looking for a lawsuit from Tyr? Does Tyr really not know? When will it be God's turn to call the shots? Besides, Tyre had fallen silent since the outbreak of the plague in Neverwinter, quietly watching things unfold, Linton understood.

This is like allowing piracy to become a new economic growth point, but if it is not that, the axe is still being studied, and it is directly banned.

Erebeth turned a blind eye to the ups and downs of the outside world, and even refused to see his deputy Bivis.

According to those who happened to see Erebes, Erebeth was no longer as strong as she used to be, and she was now dressed in her home clothes, and there was no trace of Neverwinter and the Temple on her body...... I even have long hair!

*****

The fake Visage Deszel Volva, whose last sabotage was less than expected.

Due to Erebes's extremely strict precautions, Deszel, who was effectively locked up in the temple, could not find a chance until Nasher removed all the guards.

However, at that time, the formula of the cure had long been studied, and most of the nobles had been treated and mass-produced. Deszel could do nothing but mobilize a batch of explosives in the name of research.

In the end, he only destroyed the batch of healing pills that had been made—but since the civilian healing pills had been delayed for a few weeks, he didn't mind delaying them for another few weeks...... On the contrary, the bombing of the palace (half of which was smashed by Sister A) had a greater impact.

Deszel knew that something could not be done, but he insisted on blowing up the healing potions, in order to weaken Neverwinter for a while longer, and open a window for the Reptile Queen to march south.

This window is only a few weeks long...... It's a pity that the reptile queen gave up this number one subordinate in advance, and she naturally gave up this important piece of information.

The time was fleeting, and when she got information from other sources, Neverwinter was already massively distributing healing pills to civilians!

Nasher was smart again this time, and the sensational effect of the last time he pursued large-scale distribution was turned out to be yellowed, and this time he simply distributed the healing pills while they were being manufactured.

A large number of people waited outside the hospital for the medicine to be made, which not only gave hope to the civilians, but also gave the middle and lower classes the opportunity to work in the middle, which can be said to be a great joy for all.

In terms of being an official, Nasher is really a few streets away from Sister A.

……

"The death penalty, I don't accept appeals, it's really such a sentence......" Shen Yan said expressionlessly.

And the crowd below cheering in unison, as if justice had really been served!

"Another person, another crime, the same death penalty." Erebeth stood right beside him, both wearing hoods and magically blurring their faces, watching Vanswick's trial.

As Sister A said, the trial process was completely hijacked by the public opinion around them - and the people of Neverwinter didn't care who the person on the stage was or whether they were guilty...... What they care about is that they have suffered too much in the plague, and now the suffering needs to be vented!

So whoever stands in that position, even if they only steal a penny, as long as there is a public trial, it will definitely be ...... Death penalty!

What's more, these people have long been instigated by those who hide in the crowd......

"Heh~ I just don't know how many of those people standing below have received Vanswick's favor." Shen Yan mocked, standing in this position and watching, it really looks like a satirical scene of Shakespeare.

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

Shen Yan and Vanswick are friends, but Vanswick has nothing to do if he insists on him, and he also has a big surprise for Vanswick! In the courtroom, Vanswick left the judge to play with a cold face throughout the whole process, without justifying or denying it.

When the judge said "execute immediately", Vanswick even took the initiative to go to the gallows, which left the two jailers behind him at a loss.

"Erebes, do you know what kindness is?" Shen Yan suddenly said an unrelated topic.

Erebeth was stunned for a moment, then replied, "It should be to do the right thing with compassion...... That's it, right? ”

Shen Yan smiled, yes, the definition of kindness in this era is still at the level of "good people do good deeds" - they don't know that there is a model called "doing charity", a businessman who starts wars everywhere and kills millions of people can be laundered into a philanthropist by donating money; A robber who robs the whole world can be packaged as a good man of the century because of charity.

A pure bad guy who has a high profile and influences young people through the media is still doing charity...... Small evils and great good.

Shen Yan didn't mean to be a disadvantage, because he himself relied on this operation to pull the camp back from the edge of evil countless times, and he had a lot of experience.

"Why do you say this?"

"Let's take a closer look."

*****

"Prisoner, do you have anything to say?" The judge shouted to Van Swijk.

It didn't fit the process, but he was friends with Vanswijk...... The momentary compassion made him say more.

The crowd of onlookers suddenly fell silent, and most of them stared at Vanswick, who had a noose around his neck, to hear what he had to say...... Is it to declare one's innocence? Or do you say cruel words before you die?

They eagerly look forward to it, like they look forward to the climax of a play – what Van Swick said will surely spawn countless versions from word of mouth, enough for them to go back and blow for three months!

However, Vanswick just calmly looked at the crowd below and said nothing, expressing that he had nothing to say with a practical attitude.

The crowd began to be dissatisfied, and there was a lot of commotion, and some people even threw rotten vegetable leaves and eggs that they had been holding for a long time...... The people who used to give alms on high now put on a noose, and they dare not meet everyone's wishes? Death is too good for him!

At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly screamed loudly, "Vanswick, where's your beautiful wife?" Why didn't she come to see you off! Isn't it already ...... with someone?"

Vanswick and Erebeth are known for their "relationship", and they are arguably the most famous couple in Neverwinter. I don't know how many people present have blessed them, either sincerely or falsely, and now that Vanswick has been sent to the gallows, countless people secretly want to know how Erebeth feels!

Or rather, want to draw pleasure from her pain!

It's just that that dark thought has always been hidden in the bottom of my heart, but now it has been shouted out in public!

However, as soon as that thought came to mind with the shouting, I heard a "bang" across my head!

I saw that the person who shouted had his head tilted back, and there was an extra steel arrow in his eye socket! Shoot through the eye and pierce the skull!

The crowd became extremely quiet for a moment, and there was an open space around the dead man, allowing the man's body to fall to the ground......

"Who else?" Shen Yan appeared on the edge of the eaves with a longbow in his hand, he showed his true face and looked down coldly.

"It's Erebes' brother...... When did he enter the city? "A lot of people gasped. Seeing that the scene was dead silent, a certain guard standing behind the judge stood up and shouted, "Shen Yan! How dare you ......"

However, before he finished speaking, he heard another "呀"!

A steel arrow shot in and out of his mouth, pierced the back of his throat, and the guards flipped to the sky! Seeing is not alive!

"Who else is in a hurry to die?"

Shen Yan asked gently.
