Section B, Chapter 15: Hanging (Lucina)

Looking at the thief who had been hanged to death, Vicor turned his head in confusion and asked Somer: "Uh...... Don't you have to ask him if he has any accomplices and any stolen goods still hidden?"

"No need to ask. If he had an accomplice, he would have just spoken out about such a death-fearing and disloyal person. Pouting disdainfully, Sommer took off his helmet, revealing long gray hair: "As for the swag, it is also a truth." But it's easier to find - just send someone to search the cave. ”

"Well, that makes sense. Looking at the guards who were rushing in from the two holes identified by Aya, Vicol looked up helplessly: "Besides, it's a little late to ask this now." ”

The guy had been dead for two minutes and had an ugly incontinence. The hanged man, Vicor, was seen for the second time - the first time when he was a hunter. The man went mad at what he saw and hanged himself.

There will always be people who think that hanging is decent and neat, but in fact it is very wrong. It is very painful, and it will magnify the pain before the shortness of breath infinitely. What's more, the appearance of death is quite ugly: the tongue will be stretched out, and the urine and urine will be incontinent.

It seems to be a "humane" tradition left over from the Eurasian Empire, and most of the condemned prisoners were hanged. But its laws are not too harsh, and they are quite reasonable. At the very least, the thieves will basically only be locked up and used as hard labor, and if they do a good job, their sentences can be reduced.

It is only natural that a vast dynasty that spans thirty-seven worlds and rules over the entire world will study the law to facilitate its administration. What is even more remarkable is that these laws are not yet fixed - each region has a set of laws that can be modified by the local lord to make the law more suitable for the local customs.

Like what...... A city that is notorious even in the Permafrost: Lockcell, the sin capital of the Seventh World of the World Tree.

There were no laws, only gangster rules. For some reason, the Eurasian Dynasty didn't attack it, so it's as rare an unconquered city as Neverwinter and Icerock.

I guess some kind of agreement was reached...... It's hard to believe what the Eurasian Emperor, who is a human being, thought in the first place. He was a man who hated two things the most: criminal disorder and racial discrimination. How could such an emperor allow such a city to exist?

But in any case, the number and status of humans and orcs in the entire World Tree are far better today than they were before the Eurasian Empire was founded. Tens of thousands of years ago, the two of them were still a race that was always looked down upon by some of the High Ebones, but when the Eurasian Emperor started from scratch and gradually spread his power with a mixture of mages and clergy, everyone subverted this perception.

Eurasia himself fell in love with the dragon lady and gained a near-eternal lifespan. It had taken him hundreds of years to nearly unify the entire World Tree, and tens of thousands of years to rule firmly and deal with difficult places: such as this permafrost that he had not taken down.

In fact, when he attacked the Frozen Lands, it was already the end of the dynasty, the end of the crossbow. The Empire no longer has enough troops to attack this treacherous permafrost. But even such a powerful dynasty that lasted for 80,000 years inevitably went into decline in the end.

The cause of the decay has always been a mystery, but only one thing is known: the Eurasian Emperor suddenly disappeared one day with his lover Dragon Maiden, taking his sword with him. Then sat on the throne the heirs he left behind. Unfortunately, I don't know if it was because of improper governance or the loss of the god king Eurasia, the people's hearts were turbulent, and the dynasty began to gradually decline. Even so, it took about 7,000 years to fall.

In fact, the Eurasian dynasty has not completely disappeared. They also left behind the last royal capital: the Sky City of Al Landi. It still remains

A portal to the capital of the floating island gods, where the temple of the gods is located.

There are many theories about the reasons for the disappearance of Eurasian couples. Anyway, Vicol found this the most plausible: the Eurasian Emperor was tired of eternal rule and wanted to go back to the passionate years of his old days: traveling around and truly enjoying time with his lover instead of staying on his throne all day to rule the World Tree. Therefore, it is understandable to abandon the throne: eternal life is a burden, but neither is eternal life in which you and your lover do not have to fulfill your obligations all day.

What's more, there is no dynasty that will never fall, and the World Tree needs fresh blood and power.

If that's the case, then few guys can be as happy as he is - hanging around with his wife after retiring from fame. As for how he felt when he saw the fall of the dynasty, he didn't know.

What you probably know is that one day travelers who are traveling abroad will be able to meet them: a tall and old white-haired man, and a slender and green silver-haired dragon girl.

"It looks like there's no loot there. After listening to the report of his subordinates, Sommel stomped off the fallen leaves on his riding boots, turned his head and said to the three of them lightly: "We still have to collect the corpses here, and some of them have something to do." So you guys ......."

"You know, you're going to get rid of people when you're done, right?" and pouting dissatisfiedly, Lucina decided to protest: "Did you find an old man in the cave?"

"Oh, the beggar who told you the clues. We drove him away. A soldier was just about to leave, when he heard this, he turned his head and said, "Seeing that there is a door blocking behind him, I thought there was something good hidden behind him." After a long time, it is another exit. ”

"That's right. Lucina looked thoughtful: "That old man is also a master, and his skills are very powerful." ”

"You mean stealing, right? Of course. And he's kind of an old rascal, but he's not a bad man. The guard was just about to leave, and when he heard this, he immediately turned around: "I have been a guard in the town for more than ten years, and I arrested him once in the first two years." Although that guy stole nothing of value, his modus operandi was so high that ordinary people couldn't detect it. ”

"I have a deep understanding. Hanging her head in frustration, Lusa didn't know what she was thinking.

"How are you going to return these things to the residents?" Remembering this very important question, Vicor, who had been watching the play, seized the opportunity to ask: "There will definitely be fraudulent claims, have you figured out how to deal with them?"

"No, but that's not our business. Seemingly completely lazy to think about it, Somer lazily dropped this sentence and began to direct the soldiers to transport the stolen goods: "I don't like to think about this nonsense, there are special smart people to do it." Like what...... Maybe you can help figure it out?"

"Huh, me?" was stunned for a moment, and Vicol immediately excused himself: "Don't tease, what can I do?"

"I didn't say anything about you. Frowning, Sommer pointed to Lucina, "Miss Mage, can you help you figure it out?"
