Antilón, where Agulto is currently located, is one of the most prosperous towns near Suluja, serving both the main road to the other city-states and the largest supplier of rainbow fruit wine in the vicinity. Quite a few of the nobles and merchants of Sulujaya had their own holiday villas in this town.

Borlando has been here many times, and he even has a stake in a winery, which produces a rainbow fruit wine of brilliant colour and sweet taste, which is of the highest quality on the whole continent. That's why the town of Antilion is always filled with fruity, wine and convivial atmosphere. The people here are also usually playful and laughing, and it is one of the best places to live in several nearby city-states.

But when Borlando and Garno walked into the area on the afternoon of their attack on Miliana, they sensed a tense atmosphere in the town, and as the two of them walked through the streets dressed in the priestly robes of the Temple of Nature, the people avoided making eye contact with them.

"What's going on? The last time I was here, the kids would run after me, but now there's not a single kid on the road. Borlando said.

"I saw two, but the adults dragged them into the room and closed the door. Garneau said.

"It's weird. Borlando looked left and right and saw that there were fewer and fewer people around them as the center.

"If they are not afraid of you, they must be afraid of the clothes on us. "To be sure, the reputation of the Temple of Nature among the people is still passable, especially outside the kingdom, and the believers are at least much stronger than many city lords and kings. Garneau had traveled to so many places, and he had never seen a people who were afraid of the priests and afraid of becoming such a people.

However, as they walked a little further, as they approached the central square, Garneau saw the source of this fear.

The fountain in the middle of the square is surrounded by several large trees, and on the trunks of the large trees, there are corpses. Some of the bodies had begun to dry, while others had been hanging for a short time and looked relatively fresh. The corpses swayed in the wind, and a faint smell of putrid smell wafted with the wind.

Garneau found that the men were young and old, men and women, and there were very young children. But these people have one thing in common, their clothes all look good, and they don't look like people from ordinary people's homes.

Borlando suddenly changed color: "How can this be, isn't this the family of the mayor of Antilion hanging on this tree? On that tree is the owner of the largest manor in the neighborhood! And somewhere, the owner of the largest winery." These people are the most important people in the town, and they are all hanged. ”

"Who else will be the one who did it, it must be that Agulto. "It seems to Garneau that the mayor's family has been hanging for days. It seems that they were the first to clash with Agulto.

Several Templars were standing guard in the town center square, and when they saw Garno and Borlando in priestly robes, they hurried forward.

Borlando recognized that these men were members of the nearby Knights of the Great Rock. One of them saluted them and said, "Lord Borlando, how did you come to this town?"

"Adio, what's going on? Why are these people hanged? Borlando asked, staring at Adio.

Adio's eyes flickered a little, he looked at the ground with his eyes, and said, "These people are all spies of false gods. When the problem was discovered, Master Agurto had the family executed. ”

"False gods, don't you know the details of these people? The leader of your Boulder Knights is from this town, and seems to be a distant relative of the mayor here. Several of your knights have married girls from this town. Didn't anyone stand up and say anything?"

"Lord Agulto is a Sage. Our regimental commander is now listening to him alone. Mayor...... The mayor hanged himself with his own hands. ”

"It's crazy. ”

"Lord Borlando, please, please be careful what you say. Don't let such words reach the ears of Lord Agulto, for none of the Knights who are reported to talk about him behind his back will end well. Adio pointed to a tree in the distance, on which hung a few strong men in the green shirts of the Templars, "Those are all from our Knights, and they have all been hanged for saying something they shouldn't have said. ”

Borlando gasped and suppressed his anger. He helped Adio and pulled him to the side and asked, "What is Agulto doing these days after he executed these people?"

"Your Excellency, please don't embarrass me. ”

"Can you tell so many people that you've seen you with us?" said Garneau, "then tell us what we want to know, and let you go." ”

He ...... He took possession of the large house of the mayor's family, and took all the beautiful girls of the confiscated family to serve him, and also took many women from the commoners' homes. And then I stayed in my room every day and didn't come out. It's just that let's go ahead and arrest false god believers everywhere. Adio said.

"He's still in the mayor's house?" asked Garneau.

"Yes. As soon as Adio finished speaking, Borlando and Garno suddenly felt the air around them heat up.

Then Adio showed an uncomfortable expression, his face was flushed, his hand grabbed his neckline, he bent down, roared twice in a low voice, and began to burn from his body.

Flames from nowhere swept through his body in an instant, turning him into a flaming torch.

Borlando and Garno hurried to cast water magic on him, but the fire was so fierce that the pale flames burned him to char in a very short time. The flames, like a sapient elemental spirit, withdrew from the charred body, and then gathered a human figure on the side, and the flames faded, and a muscular man appeared in front of the two Garneau. He was dressed in loose pajamas, revealing his hairy breasts, and looked at Garneau and Borlando with a hint of disdain.

Garno didn't have to guess to know that the man in front of him must be the Divine City Sage Agulto, who was powerful in this town, and it seemed that his best technique should be the realm of fighting qi related to flames. Judging from his actions just now, his control of flames has surpassed that of many magicians who are good at fire-based magic.

Borlando's voice trembled a little: "Lord Agulto, why did you do this?"

"What I hate most is people who talk about people behind their backs, because they tend to die early," Agulto said. ”
