A gold coin was tossed high by Robert, arced in mid-air, and fell back into his hand impartially, colliding with another gold coin in his hand with a clear snapping sound. Robert closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and with an intoxicated look on his face, he muttered, "The sound of the gold coin is wonderful!"

At this time, it was evening, and the sun was setting, shining red like blood on the horizon. Robert had made a hundred gold coins from the afternoon gambling fight, and was in a good mood, so he went to the adventurer's house for a big meal, packed a large bag of food, and went home drunk.

Turning a few alleys, Robert came to the municipal square of the borough. Suddenly, I heard the noise of people in front of me, and I followed the voice, but I saw a lot of people surrounded by black pressure on the side of the guillotine, and I didn't know what I was looking at.

This guillotine is the place where the executed prisoners in Silvermoon City are executed, and it is made of large granite stones, about one meter above the ground, with an area of ten zhang square, and various execution props are set up on it. Whenever a criminal is executed, it often attracts a large number of ordinary people to stop and watch.

Curious, Robert squeezed into the crowd to look, only to see a bald man tied to the stake in the middle, with some wood piled up underfoot.

The man's tattered clothes were stained with blood, and one of his heads was drooped down, and his face could not be seen clearly, but the top of his head was shiny and shiny, like polished leather shoes.

Around the stake stood a group of heavily armed Sheriff's Department soldiers. Next to him sat a burly man who looked like a military attaché, with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

The audience pointed and whispered.

"Do you know this man?"

"I don't know, I'm burned alive, it's really pitiful!"

"I heard that after being burned to death, the soul cannot enter heaven!

"What a sin!"

......。

At this moment, the military attache opened his eyes, looked at the sun that was about to set in the sky, felt that the time was almost up, stood up, walked to the front of the guillotine, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Read the official document below, everyone please be quiet!"

When the audience's voice was quiet, the military attache continued: "I am Captain Dennis of the Sheriff's Department, I will read the official document now, please be quiet!" As he spoke, he took out an official document from his bosom and read it aloud: "Fisher, known as Flying Fish, is the most notorious lone thief on the Illusory Road, a first-class wanted criminal in the Kingdom, and has committed crimes such as: "Alpha Academy Theft", "Gold Coast Auction House Robbery", "Clover Family Caravan Robbery", and countless small presses. He was caught by the Silvermoon City Sheriff's Office last month, and after a trial, the verdict is now as follows: Fisher is sentenced to be burned at the stake, and it will be executed immediately!"

The audience gasped and there was an uproar.

"It turned out to be that damn flying fish, it's not enough to let him die ten thousand times!"

"Burn him and let his sinful soul be destroyed!"

"Burn this demon! Let his soul go to hell!

......。

As if hearing the shouts of the audience, Fisher raised his head, revealing a face full of dirt and wrinkles, looking at the excited audience with cloudy eyes, and suddenly cracked his mouth "Haha~~" and laughed, and the laughter was full of madness.

Dennis showed a hideous smile on his face and scolded: "Death is coming, you can still laugh, you can't cry right away!" With a wave of the hand. A soldier immediately poured a barrel of oil at Fisher. The oil drenched Fisher's entire body in an instant, and then ran down his body to the wood below.

Fisher stared at Dennis viciously, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Dennis, I, Sun You, are despicable and shameless, plotting against Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will become a ghost, and he will not give you that thing!"

It turned out that Fisher and Dennis were classmates in their early years, studying together in the Warrior branch of Alpha Academy.

The relationship between the two is not bad, but when it comes to strength, Dennis is firmly ahead of Fisher. However, in his third year of study, Fisher stole a forbidden item from the academy and fled without a trace.

The academy's top brass was furious, but for the sake of secrecy, they did not notify the sheriff's office, but only sent several teachers to conduct a secret pursuit. The hunt lasted for more than a year, but Fisher was like a rat hole, and there was no news of it. In the end, the matter had to be put on hold for the time being.

Two years later, a lone thief in the kingdom ransacked the Gold Coast auction house. What's even more incredible is that he escaped successfully under the siege of more than a dozen family guards, and many of these guards are five or six level professionals.

This angered the high-level of the kingdom, and issued a heavy bounty, which was wanted throughout the country.

Only after this investigation did it become known that the thief was Fisher, who stole the forbidden items of the Alpha Academy two years ago, and thus the theft of the Alpha Academy was exposed, but the Alpha Academy did not explain what the forbidden items were. But no matter how many sheriffs and bounty hunters the kingdom sent, it just couldn't arrest him. As a result, he became famous, earning him the nickname Flying Fish.

(Note: Bounty Hunter is a profession that pays to arrest criminals and requires membership in the Bounty Hunters Guild.) ）

As the saying goes: "If you often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet?" After several days of planning, the Sheriff's Department finally formulated a "fishing plan", sent his old classmate Dennis to go undercover, pretending to accidentally bump into him, and the two hit it off and went to ransack a merchant together late at night, in fact, all this had been arranged a long time ago, in order to let Dennis gain Fisher's trust.

However, during this ransacking, Dennis was still greatly stimulated, and he had just reached the third level of warrior a few days ago. thinks that with his own strength, even if he can't win against Fisher, at most it will be a draw. When he heard the "fishing plan", he was very unimpressed, but when he saw Fisher's strength, his eyes almost fell out. It's simply one in the sky and one on the ground. Fisher had reached the level five warrior and possessed the skill of Sleep.

You must know that the strength of a professional who has gained a sleep can completely crush the unawakened professional.

(Note: On the Illusory Demon Continent, Level 1-3 is usually referred to as a low-level adventurer, Level 4-6 is called a high-level adventurer, and Level 7 and above are called a strong person.) ）

At the celebration banquet, the two pushed the glass and changed the lamp, talked about all kinds of interesting things in the academy before, and drank all night, and finally Fisher fell drunk on the table.

By the time Fisher woke up, he had been locked up in a secret cell, his tendons had been broken, and he had been banned from magic, and he could never escape.

Dennis promised to set Fisher free as soon as he handed over the forbidden item. Fisher, of course, would not be fooled, so he denied it and asked Dennis to search him casually. When Dennis was unconscious, he searched him up and down, but he couldn't find a single hair.

For seven or eight days, Dennis either coerced or lured. Every time Fisher saw him, he either laughed at him for his lack of talent or scolded him.

Seeing that Fisher could not pry open Fisher's mouth, Dennis was pressed again, so he had to give up and hand Fisher over to the sheriff's office. Eventually, Fisher was sentenced to be burned at the stake, and Dennis was promoted to captain of the sheriff's office in Silvermoon City.
