Volume 1 - Showers Chapter 115: Get Out of My Hometown (2)

"Very well, Pixi, you kept your promise. Then, I also keep my promise that all people can be pardoned for crimes committed outside the territory. I need to warn you, though. Although you have attained the status of free citizens of the Zamir Territory, that does not mean that you can run rampant in Zamir. The specific laws of Adviser Donavan will tell you later, but I can only say that Zamir is special, and the law here is fair - he protects not only the interests of the nobility, but also the freedmen, and even to a certain extent the criminals who have committed lesser crimes. Anthony was very pleased to see the more than 100 people who had been persuaded by Picxi to lay down their arms and surrender. In this regard, he sincerely admired the new law of Zamir Ling, which was revised by his father, Adviser Donavan and Advisor Jorgen.

Members of the White Thieves Band, you look at me, I look at you, looking confused. This ignorant people are even more ignorant than the freedmen of Zamir—as ignorant as the freedmen of the rest of the country.

Not even all freedmen understood all of Anthony's words. Most people could only understand sensitive words such as zanmir, nobility, law, and others, which they had never even heard. Actually, this is not to blame them, after all, in the foreign territory, the status of free people is only a little better than the status of serfs, tenants, and slaves. Often, there are not many people in a tun who can write their names, let alone speak the words commonly used by nobles.

So, seeing the confusion of the crowd, Michael instructed Pixie to translate what he said to the freedmen—in a way and in a vocabulary they understood.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me briefly explain the basic general laws of the Zamir territory. (Hey!) Everybody come here! The wizard wants to tell us about the laws of Zanmir! The simple kind! First of all, Zamir's laws are absolutely fair, and there are no special laws for different statuses. (Zanmir's laws are fair, and the nobles share a set of laws with us mud legs!) Zamir is not allowed to murder, second, to violate women, and third, to take it by force. These are the three fundamental principles. (No killing!) Don't women outside! No robbery! I would like to remind you that anyone who commits any of the above three articles shall be hanged. (Those who did all three bad things were hanged!) )”

Speaking of hanging, this group of free people also understood, but they obviously didn't want to be "long-tongued ghosts", so they quickly nodded their heads frequently like chickens eating rice, indicating that they would never do such a bad thing.

"Anyone who steals, defrauds, or assaults a soldier shall be convicted by an executor according to the degree of the offence and shall be sentenced to flogging on the spot. (Stealing, cheating money, attacking soldiers are caught and whipped, how much whipping you draw depends on whether your crime is serious.) The first imprisonment of those who participated in or organized cult gatherings, insulted nobles, and slandered the followers of the Ella Church often depended on the severity of the detention; The second was 30 lashes, the third was 50 lashes, and the fourth was direct beheading. (Those who believe in cults and don't believe in Ella and are rude to the nobles and lords catch you in the dark room for the first time, catch and whip you for the second time, the third time is more than the second, 50 strokes, believe me, that can break your legs, as for the fourth time, it will only be beheaded.) )”

Michael was very pleased with Pixi's translation, so he nodded at Pixi. Among the members of the White Thieves was a young man who recognized a few words, and he boldly asked, "May I ask my lord, are these laws the same for us and for us?" ”

Michael replied, "Of course, I'll give you an example, the freedmen killed the freedmen, hanged; The freedmen killed the nobles and were hanged; The nobles killed the nobles and were hanged; The nobles killed the freedmen and hanged them. All people and organizations that have not been authorized by Lord Zamir will be judged the same if they break the law. In the most serious cases, the local magistrate will escort them to Longtalon Fortress, where the lord or someone he appoints will conduct a final judgment open to nobles and freemen. ”

Michael's words drew a few of the more knowledgeable members of the White Thieves into an ear, explaining the things to the rest of the group in words they could understand. Everyone found it unbelievable. I've always heard that Zamir is a paradise for free people, and many people who have never been to Zamir scoff at it, believing that there is no place in the world where people of Elsa can live in peace. However, after such an explanation today, the thieves did not expect it to be the case - they thought that the noble lord was not so boring as to lie to them.

Everyone was traveling in the direction where Michael felt the mana anomaly, but suddenly a huge burst of mana was generated very close to Neverwinter, like a huge pebble smashed into the calm water, and the mana ripples spread.

Michael was explaining the laws of the White Thieves to the members of the White Thieves while Anthony's army was collecting the dangerous batch of controlled crossbow bolts and explosive oil—and some dangerous things on the side. After feeling an abnormal burst of mana, he suddenly felt discomfort in his stomach and began to retch, while blood flowed from his nostrils.

"Mr. Michael! What's wrong with you?! Anthony caught a glimpse of Michael's abnormality, hurried over to help him up, and then asked with concern.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, but something is wrong with Zammir." Michael said anxiously.

Anthony was just about to inquire carefully, when suddenly, a red light rose from Neverwinter, the earth cracked, and the flames licked the land of Neverwinter, and the inhabitants couldn't even make a sound, and all of them turned to ashes. At the same time, the ruins of Logwood Town, the Clover Ranch, the Warrior's Burial Courtyard, and the Riverside Town rose black, white, green, and blue pillars of light respectively to form a circular circle, and then a thick ray of light shot out from each of the five pillars of light, converging at the foot of Longclaw's Fort Mountain, forming a pentagonal inner town. A snake dragon filled with all the colors that seemed to be in Elsa's world appeared directly above the circle, coiling along the pentagonal inner array on the bedrock of Longtalon Keep.

"They succeeded! Damn, it shouldn't be that fast! With that, Michael turned over and rode on the blue wind, and said to Anthony, "Anthony, quickly, leave 60 people to continue to collect supplies, escort these people to a safe place, and get as far away from Winterless Town as possible." You take the rest of the soldiers and I and head to Winterless Town! ”

In less than two quarters of an hour, the group had reached the vicinity of Neverwinter. Michael couldn't go any further, as the entire town of Winterfall was on fire.

"That's my house, that's my house! Damn it, look at these brutes! What did they do! Michael fell to his knees, tears pouring out of the corners of his eyes.

Anthony was equally amazed by the tragedy, remembering that when he was a child, his father used to bring him to play in this beautiful town – and that was because Mr. Michael lived here. He also remembered the creek next to Neverwinter, and the scent of small onions in the town. None of that is now, and although it is not a home, Anthony clearly loves the place.

"Anthony, I'm fine." Michael cried for a moment and stood up with his hands propped up. "Anthony, bring someone here, let's go find those who started it, Longtalon Fort is still waiting for us to protect! Right? Anna is back too, isn't she? So there's something out there that you need to guard as well. ”

Anthony blinked vigorously, as if squeezing tears out of his eyes. "We're going to let them die a bad death, right?"

"That's right, they're going to bury the dead Zamir and the towns that were affected by the disaster. Monk Yanqiu, and Fearful Elephant Summoner Brand. ”

Meanwhile, in a cave outside Neverwinter.

"Heavenly Dao Cycle, Ms. Brand. Thanks to your help, the Dragon Teng Dunjia can be successfully successful, and then we just need to ensure that the techniques on these dragon veins are not disturbed and destroyed. However, there is one thing I don't understand. We could have avoided this town, so why did you insist on choosing the center of the town to perform the spell? As a result, the center of the Dragon Dunjia did not fall to the target location we had identified, which was Longtalon Fort, but instead landed at the foot of his mountain. The people of this town could have lived. This is an unnecessary sacrifice. Yan Qiu was wearing the obvious Qin A Empire cultivator's robe, holding the magic in both hands, and the long sword under his feet was floating in the air.

"Don't mind, Michigan." A crisp voice answered her, and then emerged from the shadows behind a dark stalagmite.

"You're talking so lightly, Lady Brand." Yanqiu manipulated the flying sword under his feet to slowly descend.

The torches in the cave slowly shone through Brand's face, a woman who was blind in her left eye and wore an eyepatch in her left eye. She has beautiful dark green hair, which is long and draped around her waist. There is a tear mole under the corner of her eye, and her nose is short and slightly upturned, which makes her look playful and cute. "Captain Yanqiu doesn't know, we can indeed avoid Winterfall, but the reason why I strongly demand that Winterfall be used as a mana fulcrum is because I want to get revenge on a wizard named Michael Donavan, you see, thanks to him." Brand pointed to his blind left eye.

"Alas. Ma'am, with all due respect, you're obsessed. I can't agree with your approach, it's a massacre. Yanqiu said.

"Hah!" Brand let out a sneer: "Yes, yes! This is indeed an obsession, since the Taoist chief said that he is obsessed, don't you have an obsession? If I am the main culprit, you will be an accomplice! You're still a monk! ”

Hearing this, Yanqiu's face was obviously congested, and she defended: "This is different! You're only killing for the thrill of revenge! This is selfish desire! ”

"We're no different!" Brand suddenly said angrily: "Does the Dao Chief only blame others? Am I not for my husband? You know, my husband also died of black striat! ”

Suddenly, a bright light came, and a lazy voice rang out: "No matter what it is for, it is not enough to justify the mutilation of innocent lives, Brand!" It's a shame that I just shot you in your left eye many years ago, and today, I have to make up for my mistakes. You two must die here today! Your corpses will not be left behind, they will be with your existence, forever out of my hometown! ”
