Chapter XXV. Punishment
Looking at the pile of broken real country porcelain, the boss felt distressed, if it weren't for the convenience of the checkout, he would never have let them lie on the table like that, but now the boss didn't have time to feel sorry for his wine bottles, because he noticed that Alex's empty eyes were faintly glinting
You...... Belch...... Are you afraid, afraid...... I、I don't give money, right, at this time, Alex has lost his former heroism, he looks particularly gloomy, even a small tavern owner, uh...... Don't you look down on me too?
With a loud shout, Alex drew his sword and stabbed the boss in the chest in full view of everyone
The heat of the corpse was rapidly drained, and the blood on the long sword slowly dripped to the ground, and the audience fell silent
This is not true, the man in the cloak who was pushed to the ground by Alex muttered to himself
What did you just say, Alex approached one of the two people sitting at the table next to him, drinking and chatting, Alex is something, I can't beat John Duncan, yes, the Mawson family is not as good as the Duncan family, right?
The man was so frightened that he forgot about it and fled
The blade pierced through the second unarmed civilian, dead under their lord's sword
You're just talking to him, draw the sword from the man's heart, and turn Alex to the victim's companion
Don't, don't, don't kill me, lordship, the man pleaded as he stepped back step by step
Don't cloaked the man got up from the ground, tore off the cloak on his body, revealing the knight's squire outfit and the short sword pinned to his waist, he quickly rushed up and hugged Alex from behind, master, you have already killed two people, stop killing again, please come to your senses
The man escaped death from the sword, spread his feet and ran, this sudden change caused an uproar among all the customers present, and they took advantage of the entanglement between the two masters and servants to hurry out of the door, but what are you doing, let go of me, Alex yelled and threw his loyal attendant to the side, but he hit his head against the wall, and his head was bleeding and unconscious
Alex picked up the sword that had fallen to the ground in the entanglement, grabbed the unfinished half bottle of wine, and stumbled all the way to the door
When he walked out into the street, he only heard people shouting all over the street: Lord kills, Alex, Lord kills, Alex only felt that the world was spinning, he held his sword on the ground with one hand, and raised the wine bottle in the other, and poured it into his mouth, in a daze, he only saw a large crowd of people surrounding him
Even if you're a lord, you can't just kill people
Isn't it the duty of the lord to protect us civilians?
You don't have the qualifications to be a knight at all
......
They were pointing and talking around Alex
Alex's spirit was greatly stimulated, and with a bang, he threw the bottle on the ground, and the smell of wine flew from his mouth with a spittle, and he shouted and gestured: I--Alex Mawson--your lord, you--I am my subjects, all of you are mine, including life, I want--whoever lives will be killed--I can kill whoever I want, Alex completely lost his mind under the alcohol, he actually raised his sword, walked drunk, and slashed and slashed into the crowd
The crowd of onlookers scrambled to avoid Alex, who was drunk and hazy, and his sword was very poor - but even so, there were still four innocent people who could not avoid it, and became the ghosts of the sword, many of them were seriously injured and lightly injured, and the knight of the murder was dancing in the streets with his sword, and no one around him dared to stay anywhere, but Alex still walked on a drunken step and danced the sword for a long time
With a tom thud, the knight, who was no match for the power of alcohol, fell to the ground
At this time, Lu Ke, who covered the wound on his forehead with his hand, walked out of the tavern, and when he saw the knight and the four corpses lying on the ground, his mouth was so wide that he couldn't close it, he knew that his master had just gone on a killing spree, Lu Ke walked to his master's side, put one of his master's hands on his shoulder, and helped him up, Lu Ke picked up his master's sword, and said softly to Alex: Master, don't make trouble, let's go quickly
Do you want to run away if you kill someone, suddenly someone shouted, and the crowd that had been so frightened that they hid just now poked their heads out of the windows, cracks in doors, and alleys, followed by a burst of shouts and curses from traitors, villains, murderers, and murderers
No one dared to approach the two masters and servants, because even the drunken knights had the ability to kill, and they all threw at the two masters and servants from a distance, and they could pick up objects: eggs, vegetables, tomatoes, pans, wood blocks, stones, ...... Like rain, Lu Ke and Alex flew past
The sheriff of Kavia City watched from afar and did not intervene
This sheriff was born in a small local nobleman and has served in this position for many years, originally thought that after the fall of the Matan Dynasty, the nobles of the former dynasty like him would be purged, but the new government retained his noble household registration and let him continue to remain as the sheriff of Kavia City, just a short time after he received a report that someone was killing people in the street, he immediately brought people to the scene, but he did not expect that the murderer was Alex himself, because the new government of Duris did not announce the abolition of the title of the Mawson family, nor did he deprive him of his fief, so nominally, Alex Mawson is still the lord of Kavia City, and he, a small sheriff, cannot arrest the lord, but also help disperse the rioting masses and dismiss the lordRescued
However, the sheriff held a grudge against Alex, because his elder brother, who was a squadron leader in the Prairie Wind Legion, was killed by Alex because he strongly objected to Alex's collusion with Pan Alonda to carry out a coup d'état, so the sheriff chose to sit on the sidelines and watch, neither dispersing the crowd of civilians nor adding to the trouble, but silently watched Alex's master and servant disappear into the end of the street step by step amid a wave of curses and a rain of garbage......
After two nights and three days of non-stop long-distance flight, the Gagarin finally returned to the seat of the Silver Mountain, the capital of the snowy Federation
Look at how the houses below are all white, so beautiful, a few children lie on the porthole, looking out the window at the scenery of the northern city that is getting closer and closer, and sigh in admiration
It's all snow, Sophia said, she heard her father say that the north is very freezing, and it often snows, but when it falls on the roofs and trees, it turns white, and it is very beautiful
Young masters, young ladies and gentlemen, we are about to leave the ship, and the master asked you to go to his room to get warm clothes, otherwise the red goblin Colin came to the back of a few children and said
Okay, Colin, you go and tell Uncle Reguno that we'll go in a moment
When they first boarded the Gagarin, the five children were startled by the goblins walking around the spaceship. The hideous appearance of the pointed ears and a long tail full of fur really scared the children who had never seen such a creature very lightly, and the children were afraid to hide away when they first boarded the ship, and the oldest fat man Cassius even cried, but as the time of contact with the goblins became longer and longer, the children found that the goblins were not as scary as they seemed on the surface, and Sophia even thought they were cute, in fact, the children had this idea because they did not know the history of the goblins, and they did not know that a long time ago, the goblins were a kind of ferocious creatures that exclusively fed on human childrenOf course, Reguno didn't tell the children about that history, because it was too early for their age
It was one of the most terrible dark ages in human history
During the third invasion of the Poseidon Clan, in order not to repeat the failure of the previous two invasions of the continent, the stupid Poseidon cultists opened the absolute magic array without their own strength, attracting a force that they could not control at all - the demons from the other world, the epic demon slaying war began vigorously, when the demons swept across the continent, all the resistance of human beings was weak, villages and cities were razed to the ground, fortresses and fortresses turned into ruins, the horror of demons came from its powerful spiritual magic, not only humans, but also forest elves, dark elves, Dwarves, orcs, and even all kinds of dragons that dominate the air will not be able to resist, if it were not for the undead army immune to spiritual magic to join the coalition, it will become a turning point in this war, humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, dragons, and even the entire three continents of Olopa will become a part of history, and finally the coalition will drive the demons back to their original world, but the demons have left their descendants
Goblins were originally the lowest combat creatures in the demon army, they were huge in number, serving as cannon fodder and cleaning the battlefield in the demon army, when the demon army was defeated, a large number of goblins were abandoned by their masters in the three continents of Olopa and the Demon Continent, and then the countries of Olopa spent more than a century to wipe out the goblins left on the three continents, so until now, wild goblins can only be found on the uninhabited Demon Continent
Later, the rise of the Snowy Federation of Mages changed the fate of the goblins, and the Snowy Federation was established for a short time, but in the first few centuries of its establishment, its sphere of influence was only a little territory near the current Silver Mountain Seat, and the magicians and alchemists were thin and could not do heavy labor, and the environment of the country was extremely harsh, so the construction of the Snowy Federation in the early days was basically completed by magic dolls, and magic dolls were a kind of tools made by alchemists and provided by magicians with energyThe shortcomings of magic dolls, such as the high cost of magic dolls, lack of intelligence, clumsy movements, and the constant consumption of mage's mana, are exposed, making it difficult for magic dolls to adapt to more and more complex construction tasks, so mages have to find other ways to obtain labor
This has to be said that a legendary figure of the Snowy Federation, he is the second person in history to break through the limit of a ring mage in magic cultivation and become a sage-level magician - Edward Kamejafi, he was the first to put forward the theory of catching wild goblins on the Demon Continent and bringing them back as labor, in fact, he also proved the feasibility of this theory with his actions, and with the first person to eat crabs, there were second, third, and fourth...... More and more mages traveled across the ocean to the Demon Continent to capture a large number of wild goblins back to the Snowy Federation as slaves, using the mages to use the Demon Prison Handcuffs - a kind of magic item that can seal the power of the demons to control the goblins and eliminate their combat power, making them pure labor, compared to magic puppets and goblin slaves, they have obvious advantages, they do not consume much, can think, have a strong physique, and are adaptable (adapt to extremely cold or hot climates), The response is faster, the work efficiency is much higher than that of the magic puppet, and later the goblin slaves are not only used to engage in heavy labor, but some are also used by the mages as their personal servants or retinues, and later the federation has also established a lot of places for artificial goblins, and the captive goblins are more obedient than wild goblins, and now the mages no longer need to travel far to the continent to risk catching wild goblins like their predecessors
There are two kinds of goblins: the blue-skinned ones are called green goblins, and the red-skinned ones are called red goblins, also known as goblins, and the number of red goblins is very rare, but they are stronger and more intelligent than green goblins, and red goblins have a kind of intimidation to green goblins, and magicians usually let one or two red goblins lead a number of green goblins to work, which is more efficient, just like Colin, it is a red goblin itself, leading a group of green goblins to serve Regunor
For the use of goblin slaves by magicians, some bards believe that inhumane goblins are, after all, living beings, intelligent creatures, and it is too barbaric to force them to labor. The mages refuted the minstrels' ideas, and the romantic magicians pointed out that the demons had wreaked havoc on all the races of Olopa, and that the goblins, as members of the demon legions, had committed heinous crimes, and that now they were to be handcuffed and toiled as punishment for their crimes
Punishment – can justify a lot of things
On the outskirts of Kavia, in the kingdom of Pole, by a small river
Alex Mawson rubbed his face with water in his hand, freed from the rule of alcohol, his royal armor and cloak had been taken off, while the squire Luke was by the river, carefully washing the armor and cloak that had been stained by the enraged people with eggs, vegetables, tomatoes, and even dung
LucoAlex shouted to the squire
Master, you wake up, hear the call of the master, Lu Ke happily looked this way, only to see that his nose was blue, his face was swollen, and there were many large bags and small bags on his head, except for one of the scars, which was caused by his master, and the others were all smashed by the people's stones, wooden blocks and other hard objects - he protected the master with his body
How long did I sleep, Alex patted his head and still had some pain
One day and one night up the host
Alex looked up at the sky for so long, have you always been by my side
Yes, the master Lu Ke replied, please forgive me for taking off the armor for the master without permission
Alex beckoned to him: "Luke, come here, I have something to ask you."
Lu Ke immediately stopped what he was doing and walked to his master's side
Now you are the only one who is faithful to me, don't you regret following me?
Never be faithful to your master, no matter where you want to go, you can always follow your master
Well...... Alex thought for a moment and asked, "Do you think I'm doing something wrong?"
This...... Lu Ke hesitated
Alex waved his hand: Don't be afraid, now the only person I can trust is you to tell the truth
Then I said that after getting the master's permission, Lu Ke plucked up his courage, and Lu Ke felt that the master had indeed done something wrong
Is that so, a gloomy sneer crossed Alex's eyes, and suddenly he grabbed the long sword on the ground and stabbed it into Lu Ke's heart
Host...... Person...... Luke's eyes widened, and he never imagined that his master would attack him
Listen, I'm always right, and I will never allow anyone to say I'm wrong, Alex said viciously, he suddenly pulled his sword out of Luke's body, and the attendant fell to the ground, dead and dead
Hahahaha...... Alex burst out laughing maniacally
Immediately, his laughter stopped instantly, and the look of remorse in his eyes appeared
Alex picked up Lu Ke tore a small piece of cloth from his own clothes and pressed it against his wound in an attempt to stop the bleeding for him, Lu Lu Lu but you can't die, you must not die, no--Alex let out a heart-rending cry, it was obvious that no matter how hard he tried, it was impossible to turn a corpse back into a living person
John Duncan: Is this the revenge and punishment you have given me?
