Chapter 32: After the Trial

There is nothing more to say about the rest of the trial. With the exception of Royx, no one in the room doubted Cheese's interpretation of the Puzzler's abilities, which was based on two factors. On the one hand, it is because everyone who has crossed paths with the gray robe knows his personality, and Cheese does not lie, but he never lies about knowledge, especially the knowledge he possesses. It's a stubborn habit to the point of paranoia, but it's also the basis for Cheese's words to be believed by all. On the other hand, there is the invalidity of the question. Roix questioned Cheese's identification of the Fairy Sword and even questioned the Fairy Sword's abilities, which seemed reasonable. It can be said that others can also question whether the Bloodline has a so-called hunger, or even question whether vampires have to suck blood. Such questioning can go on indefinitely, and as a result, nothing will come of it. Asking questions is not a bad thing, it's about asking what questions when to ask.

With the power of the Puzzler, Roix uncontrollably told a series of stories about his murder at the edge of the Elven Forest, and the fact that he was attracted to Atalanta and attacked her convoy. The face of the Grand Duke of the Hammer became more and more ugly as he narrated it, and when the vampire finally finished talking about the atrocities he had committed in the realm of the Blue Lion, the dwarf did not blow his head directly with a hammer because of his strong self-control. And the punishment for him can be imagined.

"Roix Blackblood, I issue a verdict against you as the regional leader of the Blackblood Family's Blue Lion Kingdom. Although the outcome of the trial was decided by Andre, Jack, and Sander with reference to Cheese's opinion, in order to respect the racial characteristics of the blood clan, the sentencing and execution will be completed by Sander, "You have committed the crime of indiscriminate homicide, and the circumstances are serious and the attitude is bad. Therefore, according to the Black Blood Code, you will be punished by exposure to the sun and deprived of reason as a servant for ten years. You have no right to refute, no right to appeal, no right to resist. ”

The Ironkeep vampire had already donned his black robes when the verdict was read, and when his words fell, the dawn light was just in time to awaken Ironhold from the darkness. The sunlight turned the vicious words from the prisoner's mouth into a meaningless howl, and Roix's hair withered and shriveled the moment it touched the sun, and the veins on his pale skin began to produce a large number of black parts like paper burned by fire. A disgusting, foul smell emanated from the vampire's body, as if it were accumulation from a dung pit cooked in a cauldron.

"You won't just die of sunburning, will you?" asked Kelanti as she squinted at the scene in the middle of the plaza and asked the gray robe beside her. Sun exposure was only part of the punishment, but the main thing was to deprive Roix of his sanity and turn him into a servant of Sander in his service. Of course, if something happens during the service, it is also excusable.

"The vampires of the Black Blood Family are far more resistant to sunlight than any other family. It has to do with their habit of fighting by the flesh. Besides, this kind of morning light can't even kill a low-level blood clan who has just gained reason, he won't die. Shande is measured. Cheese muttered. His focus had long since been on that, and the person worth noting now was the female swordsman who hid behind the Thorn Witch and felt a little unbearable at the screams of the enemy.

Klandi was keenly aware of the gray robe's gaze and smiled, and along the way she was very aware of Atta's extraordinary, and with the knowledge of witches, she couldn't tell why Atta had beastly ears and overly beautiful eyes. "By the way, this lady told me on the way that she had something to look for you. Do you have time now?"

The mage looked at the witch and then at Atta behind her, who was afraid of him when he dodged him, but did not show a negative meaning after hearing Colandy's words. "Well, I guess there's nothing to do with us here. He waved his hand at the Hammer Grand Duke, who nodded slightly and turned away first, "The Grand Duke gave me a house in the molten iron, where can we talk." But before that it happens, it's best to eat and rest, I haven't closed my eyes for a day. ”

The witch and the swordsman followed in the footsteps of the Cheese, they were really not needed here, and even if there was anything to do, Dr. Hill could take care of it. Klanty gently took Atta's hand, and she could feel the latter's palms sweating slightly, "Don't worry. You're already here, and he's not going to disappear all of a sudden. ”

The three of them walked through the streets of the new molten iron in the early morning, and they didn't know much about the new city, and the grassland food in the breakfast shops was quite a novelty for them. Coupled with the fact that Cheese went straight to Jack's place when he came to the molten iron, and was not familiar with the property that the Grand Duke had told him, he went around and found a yard when the sun was rising a little. In addition to a small garden, there are three buildings in the courtyard, one main and two buildings, and the area of this courtyard is not large as that of some merchants who trade in molten iron. But Cheese still realized the Grand Duke's intentions, and the location of this house was too good. It was not far from the Grand Duke's castle, but it was not so close that it would make the castle feel oppressive to it, and although there were no shops around, it was not far from the commercial area of molten iron. The most important thing is that, judging from the courtyard in this vicinity, there are not many dignitaries and no noisy people living nearby, quiet and ordinary.

The mage was very pleased with the house. If his tower in Vale City is a retreat from the dead, then this property is a secluded place in the midst of the crowds. This is quite similar to the dwelling of the cursed crow in the Far Lookout, with a bit of smoke and fire, but it does not affect the lives of the occupants in it.

"The Grand Duke didn't find me a servant, and I don't need it. So you may have to trouble finding your own room to rest later, and then gather here in the afternoon. The mage said and walked into the main building, where he had very low requirements for the dwellings, even the bedrooms in the Cheese Tower, the beds and rooms were as simple as the rooms of the Tavern at the Top of the Dragon's Back.

Cheese just disappeared behind the door. Atalanta found that she could no longer understand the gray-robed wizard's actions, how could there be a wizard in this world who allowed guests to visit her residence for the first time to move around at will? Spellcasters of all genres had a strong desire to protect their residences, and they didn't want guests to move around even if the room was empty. But Kolandi was already familiar with the mage's casualness, and she stretched and took the female swordsman's hand, "Alright, the master of the room has spoken, let's take care of ourselves." Ah, I hope that there is a bathroom in this house chosen by the Grand Duke, and when I was in the royal capital, I used a wooden barrel to bathe, and it was not comfortable at all. ”
