In the second half of the night, it rained heavily, and rain and lightning washed over the village at the bottom of the tree. The fire at the Odis mansion was extinguished by heavy rain www.biquge.info people hastily went in to check the situation. Apparently quite a few people died in the fire, some outside the fire......

Some of the corpses were stained with blood, and the sharp blades delicately pierced the weak spots of their armor. The villagers counted the corpses, and there were 8 in total. Or others, burned to ashes in the fire in the house. No Otis remains were found, and most of them disappeared into the darkness they loved with the wind and rain.

Before the sun rose in the village at the bottom of the tree, the matter had already settled. Klinos tells Chief Bill about the Imperial Guard. Eunice also testified about how Odys coerced and seduced her to become his accomplice. When questioned by Brother Harris, he truthfully confessed how the Imperial Guard used the shelter to eliminate political opponents and seize property.

Seeing that the situation was gone, the other monks who were hindered by the power of the Imperial Guard rallied in support of Clinos' accusation. The Imperial Guard, which was unpopular in the first place, is now powerless.

Seeing that the Imperial Guard was temporarily leaderless, Chief Bill took the lead in using the judicial functions that had already been banned. The invocation of the law that cases cannot be tried within the defendant system has allowed the village self-government committee to take back a lot of power.

In this way, it is logical that the Imperial Guard will have to carry out the procedure of suspension and awaiting trial, which can drag on for ten days and half a month. By the time news of a new appointment comes from the Imperial Capital (assuming they notice the political events in the village), it will be at least next year.

What's more, as Brother Harris said. The Imperial Guard, which has long been hated, has proven not to be a solid authority. Those who dare to oppose will surely emerge in large numbers. This kind of thought obviously does not belong to the category of public opinion, and the thought bursts out like lightning in a dark cloud, and sooner or later it will be heard by the viewer.

If anyone tells everyone to plug their ears and blindfold them, they pretend that there are no dark clouds or thunder. That is to make people who could not see lightning pay attention to this feast of wind and rain until the sky clears and a rainbow appears.

"What a day!" Eunice exclaimed at the sun before noon, "isn't it?"

Serena looked at the charcoal-black ruins of the house in front of her and said, "It would be better if it didn't become a tool to be used." ”

"I hope you're not angry, I would have liked Otis to die on the execution bench. But you do make things easier. Eunice said.

"You're welcome, it's one of my many talents. Serena said.

"Impressive......

"Klinos told me that sometimes the easy way is not the best way. Killing a person can have unpredictable consequences. Serena said slowly.

"What do you want to say?"

"I want to say...... Until I pay attention, you'd better run as far as possible. Serena said with murderous intent, "You are a dangerous speculator, an unscrupulous. You're a threat because you're so much like me, which makes you a potential enemy. ”

"I know you're going to kill me without thinking, and I'm going to do whatever it takes to kill you. "But there's no need for us to be hostile, so why can't we work together?"

"I don't trust you, and I don't trust myself. Serena said, "I believe what my eyes see, and you have nothing to believe in." ”

"You don't believe so many things, but you believe White and Pendragon?" said Eunice.

"Clinos has his own foolish goodness, and Pendragon is obsessed with his oath of justice. As long as I'm one of them, I don't have to watch out for the two of them. ”

"Or rather, as long as they're on your side, you don't have to watch out for the two of them. ”

Serena looked at her hatefully and said, "Be careful what you say, or I'll make this conversation end sooner than you think." ”

Serena knew that Eunice in front of her did not believe in the existence of the Staff of Truth. Originally, I was going to let her live, as long as she didn't interfere in her own affairs. If Eunice continues to be unable to control her mouth like this, her life and death will not be up to the advice of Klinos.

Eunice stared into Serena's eyes and said, "I'll do my best to help you with your adventure, so it's fair enough to trade my life." ”

"It's not a ...... deal"

Eunice interrupted, "Yes, it's not a deal, it's an alliance. The world is full of sinisters, and you're going to need a friend. ”

"I doubt it. ”

"Doubt me? I'm sure you can tell. With your gift for mind reading. ”

Serena said coldly, "I doubt that I will really need friends. Those who show up need friends, and I walk in the shadows with my hands stretched out and can't even see my fingers, will I expect friends from far away to help?"

"Are you going to make the whole world your enemy? People love to show their heads, fear the figure in the shadows, and now I know why. Eunice said.

"People make friends, people make enemies. Those are unreliable, and only oneself is the magic weapon to solve the problem. Not only that, but friends make people weak and full of weaknesses. Serena said, "I will face the real problems alone and solve them with a dagger in my hand." No one can threaten me, no one can threaten a nameless shadow. ”

"You're such a wretched person......" Eunice said.

"Do you have any real friends? I don't think so, except for your books full of potion recipes. Serena said, "It looks like we have two pathetic people here. ”

"We're different. Eunice said, "Monk Harris is my friend!"

"It's true that we're not the same. Serena said, "You go to great lengths to put on a shell of disobedience and make friends? to make decisions for the people? You just want to get what you want, and you will do whatever it takes." You instigated Harris to fight the Imperial Guard, you used Klinos to overthrow them, and you used me to sword Otis. I am completely different from you, I will not take advantage of others, and I will take advantage of opportunities. When I want something, I look for my dagger and leather armor. ”

Serena and Eunice looked at each other, neither of them speaking.

Long.

"Goodbye, Miss Serena. ”

"Goodbye, Miss Eunice. ”

With that, the two of them walked away, leaving the ruins of the Otis Mansion to lament in the wet mud.
