The afternoon sun turns the unsheltered square into a large oven, and although there are several fountains around the square, it still doesn't cool down.

The square is just in front of the Magic Tower, and it is usually very deserted, and only some magicians who enter and leave the Magic Guild pass through here.

Now, the entire square, and even a few streets of the Magic Quarter, are almost crowded with the residents of Ruyette who have come to see the excitement.

There are even very business-minded vendors who fill enough smoothies from the ice shop and put the tin cans on their heads and constantly weave through the crowd to sell them.

At this time, it is a pleasure to drink a glass of fine and refreshing smoothie drenched in honey syrup for the residents who watch the excitement here.

The square in front of the Magic Guild was full of nobles watching the execution, and although the weather was a little hot, everyone was still dressed in decent clothes, except for the servants who fanned their hands vigorously in the back.

Surdak sat on the high platform, and the old magician who sat beside him was the president of the Magic Guild.

The two represent the supreme power of the city of Ruyint.

The head of the Magic Guild Law Enforcement Corps stood in front of the new platform this time, and there was a huge brazier in front of him, and the tung oil in it had been ignited, making the copper basin below sizzle.

A group of town hall officials and magicians from the Magic Guild were all standing behind Surdak and the president of the Magic Guild, and on the side were a group of councillors from Ruyin City who could be present, and they were only a dozen meters away from the stake.

Ten servants carrying pine and cedar wood on their backs took turns piling the firewood under the cross, which was very dry and had a strong smell of grease.

Several magic apprentices approached with iron buckets and sprinkled the fire oil from the iron tongs on the firewood.

Not only did Viscount Du Wei not expect that he would be burned to death today, but even the nobles in the city did not expect that Surdak actually bypassed all the protection laws against the nobles and used the code of the Magic Guild to sentence Viscount Du Wei to death.

The Grimm Empire has set up a lot of protection laws for nobles, and even a heinous rioter like Viscount Du Wei can live a few more months under the protection of the Imperial Code. Just like Lord McDonnell at the beginning, if he accepted the sentence through formal means, this guy would at least need to be escorted to Pena City.

But Surdak can't wait!

The residents of the city can't wait!

Du Wei's conspiring plan was to destroy the entire city of Ruinte, and at least a few thousand families in the city had loved ones die in the incident.

The cross was made very roughly, it was simply two sections of pine wood crossed horizontally and vertically, fixed on the pedestal, the cross was also brushed with a thick layer of oil, there were no buckles at both ends of the crossbar, Viscount Du Wei's hands were pierced through the palms by the nails that specially nailed the wooden coffin lid, and his body was also hanging on the wooden cross, and his clothes were stripped off, but he was wearing a shirt stained with blood stains that could not be seen white.

He was barefoot, probably dislocated in both arms, and he was hanging from the wooden cross in an eerie position.

However, this did not seem to stop Viscount Du Wei from laughing wildly, his face covered with thick stubble, and his bloodshot eyes were as fierce as a beast.

Viscount Du Wei looked at the nobles who were looking around, most of them almost avoiding his gaze.

In the end, his gaze fell on Surdak's face, Surdak was also looking at Viscount Du Wei, although he didn't fix his beard to make him look sloppy, but I have to say that Du Wei's face hidden under the beard was still very handsome.

Bundles of dry firewood were piled at his feet, like a hill.

The fire oil poured on it gave off a pungent smell.

A total of four crosses were erected in the square of the Magic Union, and the other three crosses were hung by three necromancers, these necromancers were now with their eyes closed, and their bodies were attached to the magic array, but they were still silently chanting spells in their mouths.

The head of the law enforcement regiment stood in front of the wooden cross, holding a torch in his hand, looked up at the necromancer hanging from the cross, and asked in a loud voice:

"Aren't you afraid?"

Only one necromancer opened his eyes, his eyes had turned green, and his face exuded a strange expression.

"This is a foreign land for us, when we die, our souls will be led into the gates of the underworld, this is our home, if you are willing to join us, I promise to make your death a new life full of anticipation......"

“…… Yes, death is just another form of rebirth for us. ”

"We're stepping into another big world......"

The three necromancers actually began to preach the doctrine of the undead in front of the crowd of onlookers, and the head of the law enforcement group did not want to drag it out, he would take a look at the president of the magic union, and after getting a positive answer, he stretched out the torch in his hand to the pyre, which was almost sprinkled with corpse fire oil, and the fire burned at once.

The flames flew high, and billowing smoke came out, and Viscount Du Wei, who was wrapped in smoke and heat, was still laughing.

Beneath the smoke, his laughter turned into a violent cough and a howl of pain.

The sounds didn't last long, though, before they stopped as his body curled up.

As for the necromancers on the other three crosses, they didn't make any sound at all, as if the crosses were originally tied to puppets.

As the flames engulfed the wooden cross, the flames resounded with a snorting sound of dripping oil, and a foul smell filled the air.

There was no wind today, and the billowing smoke formed a straight column of smoke.

There was a large crowd of onlookers, and under the exclamations of the people, the flames finally engulfed the wooden cross.

The city's deprived residents cheered.

On the contrary, those nobles were frightened, and all the nobles who had had close contact with Viscount Du Wei were worried that their control would be grasped by the Suldaq Archon.

Viscount Du Wei and the three necromancers were burned to ashes, and only a few crispy white bones remained in the ashes, which would be reduced to pieces at the slightest touch.

Viscount Duwey's property has been completely seized, and the large territory he owns outside of Luyette has become the reserve land of the town hall, and all the people in Viscount Duwey's estate will be escorted to Pena City for trial.

Several servants found the bones of Viscount Du Wei in the boiling ashes and put them in jars.

This jar will also be brought to the city of Bena.

As for the three necromancers, they didn't have that kind of treatment, and there was no one to collect their bones, so they only mixed the bones with the grass and trees and flowed into the sewers.

……

At this moment, the sun has set in the west, and the city of Luyinte under the sun looks extraordinarily beautiful.

The crowd in the square began to disperse one after another, many people were hungry from watching the execution, civilians were talking about the burning at the stake, and many people were discussing this Viscount Du Wei.

He was once the most prestigious noble lord in the slums, and many of his initiatives benefited many of the poor.

Until now, there are still statues of Viscount Du Wei in the streets and alleys of the slums, and many people think it is incredible, and Viscount Du Wei's kind appearance seems to have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of Luyin City.

The nobles didn't all sit silently in the magic caravan waiting on the side of the street, but they didn't talk to each other.

Many noble lords are actually quite worried that the Suldak Archon will settle accounts after the fall, and Viscount Du Wei also specially summoned many nobles to his home before this operation, and now if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that Viscount Du Wei has already revealed some information between the lines at that time.

It's just that no one knew at that time that Viscount Du Wei would be so bold and that the actions he planned would be so crazy.

Surdak boarded the magic caravan, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and the magic caravan slowly left the magic area, and after executing Viscount Du Wei, Surdak's heart was more comfortable.

I still remember that just now, the president of the Magic Guild said to Surdak: "The necromancers in the entire Tarapakan region are likely to be wiped out because of this incident. ”

He pinched the corners of his eyes a little tiredly, and there was some aftermath work to be carried out.

Fortunately, the city of Luyinte is being built, and the biggest loss in the city is the backfilling of more than 200 wells, and many civilians have died.

The merchants and nobles were not affected too much, the only thing that was more embarrassing was that the nobles who insisted on leaving the city of Luyinte at the beginning, and now they need a series of reviews if they want to return to the city.

In particular, it is necessary to prove to the city prosecutor that he has no connection with Viscount Du Wei...... That's harder.

Recently, under Samira's investigation, it has been verified that four noble lords have a very close relationship with Viscount Duwey, and one of the noble lords has a large territory in the domain, and there are three lumberyards, and it is he who provides Viscount Duwei with a large amount of wood to make coffins, and now it is naturally inseparable from the plague incident.

Once verified, the noble lords will lose a large part of their territory.

In the carriage, Surdak retracted his somewhat confused thoughts and saw Thea, Samira, and Jiali. The three Decker daughters sat across from each other, and Surdak said:

"You've worked hard during this time......"

Thea smiled and said, "Boss, what will happen to those related nobles next?" The scope of this incident is too wide. ”

"All the nobles involved will be punished, those who are less guilty will be allowed to pay a fine at the city hall, and those who are seriously guilty will have their territory confiscated!" Surdak said.

Thea hurriedly wrote it down in her notebook.

"Where's Naomi? Do you want her to go back to the mine in the abandoned mine area and live alone? Thea then asked a second question.

"Does Naomi have any plans?" Surdak asked Thea a little strangely.

If Thea hadn't been able to say this, he would have thought that the necromancer would have gone back a long time ago.

"Naomi wants to stay and join the lord army!" Samira, who was on the side, immediately added.

"Oh...... Then let her follow Karrie first. Decker adapted to military life. Surdak said.

"Okay, boss!" Jiali. Decker agreed.

"What else?" Surdak asked absent-mindedly as he looked out the window at the dazzling array of shops.

Thea continued to report, "I heard that Alan. The Earl of Benton is ill, and it seems to be serious, and the town hall has already received a letter of suspension from him, so you need to appoint a logistics minister as soon as possible. ”

Surdak was a little surprised and asked, "What disease does he have?" ”

Thea replied, "It is said that it was because of the plague that weakened the body, and various diseases followed. ”

Surdak continued, "Did Nika go over there to treat Earl Benton?" ”

"It didn't have any noticeable effect."

Thea replied as she flipped through the parchment.

"Let's go, let's take a look!" Surdak commanded.

"Alan. The Earl of Benton has been recuperating in a manor outside the city lately! Thea continued.

When the coachman heard Surdak say this in the carriage, the magic caravan immediately turned around and ran out of the city.

The road outside the city was not easy to walk, especially in the mountains leading into the noble domain, and the road was even more bumpy, and even Surdak stopped talking on this road......

The magic caravan arrived at the Benton family's estate, and it was already completely dark.

The manor guards quickly recognized Surdak's magic caravan, and while they pushed open the gate and let it go, they sent someone to the manor to inform the people inside to come out to greet them.

Surdak stepped down from the compartment of the magic caravan and was in the middle of the caravan. Benton's son led him into the villa, through the two inner courtyards, and into a room in the back house.

See Alan. When the Earl of Benton was in the past, Surdak did not expect that in just a few days, Alan . The Earl of Benton was skinny and skinny.

He lay on the bed, opened his eyes when he heard a soft call, and smiled hard at the sight of Surdak.

"Father was involved in Viscount Duwey's plans...... "Allen. Benton said weakly to Surdak, and he could see the apprehension in his eyes.

"I know!" Surdak sat on the edge of the bed and used the Holy Light in Allen. Benton's body wandered for a moment.

Realizing that it wasn't because he was infected with the Blood Plague, Surdak stopped holding his arm of the Light.

"But none of the young people in the family knew about their father's plan, they were all innocent, and the Benton family was willing to take responsibility for it." Allan. The Earl of Benton became out of breath after a few words, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

"The First Evolution"

Surdak hesitated for a moment before saying, "I know all of this, so don't worry that I will convict them, you should pay a fine, and at the same time confiscate a large piece of territory!" ”

When he came to the manor, Surdak actually saw some magic caravans leaving the manor one after another.

Wait until Surdak meets Alan. The Earl of Benton found that many people were leaving one after another, and such an old aristocratic family was in rapid decline because of Old Benton's thoughts.

Maybe it's because of Allen. Benton was seriously ill, and the members of the Benton family were more like scattered sand, and many people were still hesitating when they saw the Surdak Archon rushing over, but at this moment, many young people quickly made the same decision and left the manor as soon as possible to avoid punishment from the Surdak Archon......
