49. The death penalty
Nicholas was handcuffed immediately after being sent to prison, and after receiving two prison uniforms, he followed the jailer to a solitary prison. The "neighbors" near the single room are quiet, without the noise and violence of the prisoners in his childhood novels.
Two hours before the interrogation of the Eye of Los Angeles, Nicholas sat on the only small wooden bed in the room, his new long black hair spread out, and his face was now haggard after being watered with dragon blood. Nicholas now felt that nothing mattered, and just wanted this matter to be over quickly.
"What did you do, young man?" said Nicholas, who finally heard a prison cliché that often appears in novels. "The crime of theft and ... Isn't it convicted of collaborating with the enemy?" Woo! Woo !!" The jailer who was guarding outside stretched out his head and interrupted the conversation between the two, but he actually took a silence spell, "Let me, the old man, talk to the new young man for a while, won't it?
Nicholas came to the spirit: "Your Excellency... How can you?" "I've been here for half my life, so don't call me Your Excellency, just call me Lao Wang." Thus began the communication between the two prisoners, who could not see each other.
"Old Wang, why did you come in?" "Hmm... "Hahaha, teasing you, the first queen of this king of Luoshan fell in love with me, so I came in, and it wasn't a big deal. "Uh... The old king next door is still you... It's not a big deal that the queen is in love with you.
For a while, Nicholas didn't know what to say, and the old king over there seemed to be a memory, and there was a sudden silence between the two.
"Anyway, you just came in, and you'll have to be interrogated later, bear with me, young man, you won't die. Lao Wang suddenly remembered that he was still chatting with the young man, and hurriedly ended the topic.
Nicholas did not respond, and remained that way until the jailer came in and took him for interrogation. This jailer is the one who has just been banned by Lao Wang, at this time the ban technique has long been canceled by Lao Wang, and the jailer passed by Lao Wang and glared inside: "Isn't it a barrage again, the old boy in Luoshan owes me nothing, let me take a few jailers to vent his anger, and he doesn't dare to say anything." ”
Another older jailer walked in: "Valentine—" he shook his head at the jailer in front of him, "Minister Wang, don't worry about Valentine, he's only been here for a few days." The old king inside waved his hand and signaled that it would be over.
When Nicholas was taken out, he glanced at Lao Wang: it was too dark inside, and there was no magic or magic blessing, and he could only see a person standing with his back to the wall, facing away from him: I didn't expect Lao Wang to be a minister-level figure, who are the people imprisoned here?
Nicholas thought all the way and had no clue. Here, Valentine had stopped in front of a three-story house, where a young woman was already waiting. Valentine handed Nicholas to a young woman, and after completing the handover, he returned to the prison.
"Nicholas Young?" the woman looked at the information in her hand, then looked up to confirm with Nicholas. "Hmm," Nicholas nodded and replied in a whisper.
"Come with me, the deputy minister is waiting for you. The woman turned and pushed the door and entered the house, not afraid that Nicholas would flee.
Along the way, the woman didn't speak to Nicholas, and led the way to a room on the second floor, where she knocked lightly three times, "Come in." The man inside beckoned.
The woman opened the door and motioned for Nicholas to come in, and when Nicholas entered, she closed the door again, and did not go in with her.
Nicholas looked around as he entered: it was a huge library, the space inside must have been expanded by magic, it was a full four stories high, densely packed with bookshelves, and the shelves were filled with all kinds of books.
After observing his surroundings, Nicholas finally turned his attention to the woman behind the desk in the middle of the first floor. She wore a pair of thick blue glasses and looked to be no more than thirty years old, her hair haphazardly tied back in a ponytail. She was writing something on a thick notebook with a pen at this time, and every time she put pen to paper, there was a slight magic.
She didn't seem to notice that someone had come in the room, and the woman was still writing to herself. Nicholas didn't dare to rush or wander around, even though he saw several treasured magic notes that he couldn't find in the academy library.
Perhaps sensing Nicholas's slight agitation, the woman suddenly raised her head: "Oh, the prisoner is here, so young? Wait for me again, the place of interrogation is not here, you have to come with me again." After speaking, the woman sped up her writing, and Nicholas didn't dare to make a sound, and only the sound of writing remained in the hall.
This writing is half an hour, and after writing, the woman raised her right hand and looked at the magic watch on her wrist: "It's an hour late, sorry to keep you waiting, let's go." Nicholas stayed in a daze for an hour, and then followed the woman into the teleportation array on the second floor of the museum.
After the light dissipated, Nicholas had already arrived in a small room, there was only a table and two chairs in the room, and the two of them could just look at each other after sitting down: "What I just wrote is the report of the incident dictated by Your Excellency the Decryptor, and the information about you accounts for one-third, and the courage of the young man is not small. ”
The woman smiled and spoke, with a wave of her hand trying to condense something, but there was no trace of magic power fluctuation: "I haven't been here for too long, and I forgot that the forbidden magic array here is of the highest level." After speaking, she knocked on the wall behind her: "Send me a cup of Luoshan tea, what do you want to drink, young man?" "And a glass of water!"
Within a minute, a cup of water and Luoshan tea were teleported to the table, and the woman picked up the teacup and took a sip before speaking: "Let's tell me what happened again." Nicholas spoke more fluently and faster than he did to the decryptor, and the woman did not say a word during the statement, but occasionally took a sip of tea from her teacup.
After saying that, Nicholas was also a little thirsty, and he was just about to lift the water glass, when one hand pressed his hand: "Don't drink yet, prisoner, show me the skull." Regardless of whether Nicholas agreed or not, he walked over and pulled up his sleeve: "What position do you hold in the Death Sect?" "I haven't heard..."
"I'll ask one last time, what position do you hold in the Death Sect, don't answer some nonsense. The woman's shrill voice rang in Nicholas's ears. At this time, Nicholas was dizzy and dizzy, and he really didn't know what kind of organization the Death Sect was, so he didn't answer the woman immediately.
Slap, another slap: "No one dares not to answer my Minister Liu's words! Even Luoshan!" This Minister Liu is afraid that he is crazy. Nicholas couldn't get up, and Minister Liu punched and kicked him until she was annoyed by herself: "The scum who wasted my time." With that, she patted the wall, and a portal opened in the wall to send her away.
After she went out, a bunch of people immediately surrounded her, and the leader was the young woman who led Nicholas into the house at the beginning: "Minister Liu, what to do with him now?" "Just a few people go in, as long as they ask about the position, they will be condemned to death, this is what King Luoshan meant, I personally think that apart from capital crimes, this lackey of the Death Sect has no other fate, understand?" "But... He really doesn't seem to know...", a young man asked, holding up his hand.
"Which department are you from, and what is your name?" Vice Minister Liu stared at the man who asked. "Administration Department, Liu Ruzhi. "Report to the logistics department, Liu Ruzhi." "Huh? Yes. ”
"Who can guarantee that you will be able to speak!" "I!" "I!" Vice Minister Liu did not look at Liu Ruzhi who was leaving, and turned his head to look at the young members who were eager to try. Ordering the two most fanatical at random, she left with the young woman who had been following her.
A day later, the Imperial Newspaper of Los Angeles published news of Nicholas: The Eye of Los Angeles, with the assistance of His Excellency the Decryptographer, had captured the young elders of the Death Sect and publicly executed them ten days later.
