Chapter 115: Punishment
The towering walls are like a chasm, dividing the inside and outside of the city into two worlds. In stark contrast to the refugee camps outside the city, just standing at the gates of the city, you can feel the prosperity that is almost overflowing inside the city.
Although there were not as many caravans as used to come and go due to the war, the pedestrians still bustling through the area, and they did not feel the desolation and depression that they had seen all the way from Valland.
But when it comes to impact, of course, there are.
For example, now, because of the proximity of the war, there is a long queue at the gate of the city.
The city gate, which could have been passed through quickly, Jiang Feng and the others waited in line for more than ten minutes before walking to the door.
The guard standing at the door waved Hache and impatiently stretched out his right hand.
Not wanting to delay time by causing unnecessary disturbances, Jiang Feng did not reveal his identity as a wizard, and followed the example of the person in front of him, took out three silver coins from his waist bag and threw them in his hand.
"Three people."
"Wait a minute!" The captain of the guards, who was about to pass through the city gate, leaned against him with his arms folded, suddenly stopped them.
Stopping, Jiang Feng looked at the man, only to find that the man's gaze was not on his body at all, but fell on Yi Ran's head behind him.
"You, take off your hood."
Yi Ran frowned, but remembered that Jiang Feng had told her not to cause trouble before going out, so he took off his hood as he could.
“……”
Mung Bean's eyes narrowed into slits, and the captain of the guard didn't speak, just looked Yi Ran up and down.
When his gaze swept over his flat chest, a malicious smile suddenly opened at the corner of his mouth.
I don't know why, when I met the smile and looked at him, Yi Ran subconsciously snorted, and a bad chill rose in her heart.
"There have been rebels operating in this area recently, and the Governor has said that no suspicious person should be allowed to enter the city." His right hand pressed on the hilt of the sword, and the guard walked over and looked at Jiang Feng with ill will, "I suspect that you are a spy of the rebels, come with me to the back." ”
Having lived so long, he could figure out with his toes what was going on in his poor brain.
Jiang Feng sighed, his lips moving slightly.
"Cursed."
The moment the last syllable blurted out, a huge amount of negative spiritual energy rolled like a tide, condensing and forming behind Jiang Feng's back, like invisible black mist, winding towards that person's neck.
Seeing that Jiang Feng didn't move, the captain of the guard thought that he was ready to resist, so he immediately raised his eyebrows, and smiled instead of anger on his face. The other guards guarding the door also had a good smile on their faces, ready to see how their captain would teach this hillbilly who didn't know how to teach the sky.
"It's obvious that it can be settled with a little money, but now I'm afraid it won't be able to end. It's a pity that girl, who in all of Boulder doesn't know about Bancheno's bastard fetishes. ”
"yes, but what can you do? Bancheno is the nephew of the mayor. Hey, that person too, think about it with your brain, is it something that ordinary people can do to collect city taxes at the city gate? ”
"I'm afraid that this guy will be sent to prison, and it's hard to say whether he will be alive when he comes out. I've heard that the guards of Boulder City torture spies and use a red-hot iron to scald the captives' balls......"
"Damn, don't say it, it hurts to hear it."
The people at the back of the line sighed one after another, looking at Jiang Feng with regret, and the thin little girl next to him. Only Fielding, who was standing behind Jiang Feng, looked at the guard captain with pity, as well as the group of guards behind him.
In his eyes, these people have become like dead people.
What is the saying?
In the continent of Aditya, it is better to offend kings and dragons than to offend wizards.
His Majesty the King and the dragon will give you death at most, but the spell of a wizard can make your life worse than death!
"Bang Bang ——!"
The drawn dagger fell to the ground, and the captain of the guard, named Bancheno, clutched his throat in pain and fell to his knees. I saw that his bloodshot eyes were wide open, and he was struggling as if he was drowning.
It's like being grabbed by an invisible hand.
"Click-" whimpered, unable to utter a word.
The soldier next to him looked at the scene in front of him in a panic, and looked at the captain who was kneeling on the ground at a loss, as well as the man standing in front of him.
The strange scene that happened in front of them made them guess something, but they still couldn't believe it, after all, there had been no wizards in Boulder City for more than ten years, how could they just run into them so coincidentally?
The invisible black mist slowly crept into his mouth and nose.
Bancheno, who fell to the ground and struggled desperately, looked at Jiang Feng desperately, and his eyes changed with horror and pleading.
He already knew very well who he had provoked.
That irresistible force, like crushing an ant to death, crushed his proud identity and status.
At this moment, he experienced for the first time, the fear of death.
“…… The metabolic function of cells is weakened, the reproduction rate of bacteria in the body is amplified, and a systemic self-destructive inflammatory response occurs. Surrounded by soldiers, Jiang Feng stared at Bancheno, who was covered in mud like an earthworm, as if he was observing an experimental object.
Apprentice-level curse sorcery that usually does not kill people on the spot, and the effect of this "curse coil" is similar to that of a spell missile, except that it disperses the power of the curse throughout the target's body and infiltrates the target's body, rather than concentrating on a specific area.
The cursed person will have severe functional failure of the whole body organs, and without the help of witchcraft and other means, with the medical conditions of this world, if the person who is cursed by it cannot rely on his own magic immunity or immunity to fight the effect of the curse, the final outcome is most likely to be in the hospital bed, spending the rest of his miserable life.
No longer moving, Bancheno fainted completely.
Jiang Feng, who scanned his whole body through the wisdom brain, could almost give him a terminal illness diagnosis. The soldiers next to him didn't advance or retreat, and the dogs who bullied men and women with Bancheno on weekdays didn't even dare to step forward to help him.
Glancing at the guards surrounding him, Jiang Feng said in a gentle tone.
"As you can see, I'm a wizard. You should be happy for your captain, I'm in a pretty good mood today, at least I didn't take his life, I just taught him a small lesson. ”
Seeing the man in the cloak step forward, the soldiers gathered around him stepped back nervously.
As he went further, they took ten steps back and made way for a way, and none of them dared to step forward to stop him......
Seeing the three figures disappear from their sight, the guards standing at the gate of the city looked at each other and put away their weapons.
There was a wizard in Boulder City, and when this happened, the most important thing to do was to report it to the city hall and the governor's palace as soon as possible, but now their captain was still lying on the ground, and no one gave this order at all.
"Who, come here, help me ......"
A weak voice came from the ground, and the crowd looked at Bancheno's line of defense, and cast a look of pity at him, but not one of them stepped forward to lift him up. No matter how today's incident ends in the end, this guy's position as the captain of the city gate guard can be regarded as the end of his seat.
There is no need for the wizard to speak, the family behind him will also take the initiative to clean up the portal, and the mayor who is his uncle will dissociate himself from him as quickly as possible. No one wants to provoke a wizard, and no one wants to touch someone who has been cursed by a wizard.
"Why are these people so disgusting?" Far away from the city gate, Yi Ran looked back and said with a look of disgust.
"Power and lust. Hopefully, it's going to be corrupt, but unfortunately, he's got on my head. After a pause, Jiang Feng said softly, "As punishment, the rest of his life will be spent in remorse." ”
Putting the hood back on, Ira glanced at him.
"What if he doesn't provoke you?"
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Feng said in a casual tone.
"It depends on the mood."
As he was talking, a little girl dressed plainly came out of the crowd and ran in front of Jiang Feng.
With his hands behind his back, his big black eyes looked at him timidly.
Stopped, and just when Jiang Feng wanted to ask her what was wrong, the girl suddenly stepped forward silently and stuffed the rag doll hidden behind her into Jiang Feng's hand.
"Thank you, thank you......"
With her head down and a weak voice of thanks, the little girl spread her calves, turned and ran away.
The two eyes were glued to his back, and when he looked at the rag doll in his hand, Jiang Feng couldn't help but laugh on his face.
“…… I seem to have accidentally attracted a child? ”
He could probably guess that the girl's family was probably a victim of Bancheno's persecution.
Looking at the rag doll in his hand, Jiang Feng patted the dust on it and put it into the space ring.
I heard that those professional explorers in the Federation have the habit of collecting aboriginal handicrafts, and every time they pass through a planet with civilization, they will get some souvenirs from those aborigines and bring them back as collections.
Think of it as a local product of this planet.
