Chapter 120

"Most of the salaries of our inspection team are not as good as those of you adventurers who usually take on entrusted tasks, but they are also within the establishment of the departments under the direct jurisdiction of His Majesty, and if you perform well in the team, you will be promoted to the next level in two years, and in another two years, maybe you will be able to become the same squad leader as me."

The brown-haired woman observed Shi Junjun's reaction while adding sugar cubes to her newly filled porcelain cup full of coffee, and seeing that the latter seemed unmoved, she hurriedly put down the porcelain cup and added:

"Although the work of the inspectors is a bit dangerous, they can also have three weeks of paid leave every year, and their usual food, clothing, housing and transportation are all reimbursed by the state......

"I'm sorry, I can't join you, at least not yet."

Shi Junjun has a clear understanding of the reason why she came to Portugalette, even if she very much agrees with the ideals pursued by these otherworldly humans, but wants her to live and die for this ideal......

Sorry, she can't.

"It's okay."

The brown-haired woman, who had anticipated this answer for a long time, added three sugar cubes to her coffee, and then raised her head again and drank it all.

From the dark circles under her eyes on her tired face and her chapped lips, Shi Junjun could tell that she needed the moisture and caffeine provided by this cup of coffee.

This cup of coffee from another world doesn't smell bad, and the girl also took two sips with it, as for the taste......

It's better than swill.

"As a token of gratitude for what you have done before, I will write a letter to the squadron headquarters requesting a commendation, and if it is convenient, please tell me your address in Portugalette, and if the officers are in a good mood, you may receive a decent amount of money."

"I won't be in Portugalette City for long." After hesitating for a moment, Shi Junjun still didn't say the address of his hotel, "Can I ask you a question?" ”

"Huh? Excuse me. ”

"If I had conclusive evidence of a nobleman with the title of viscount slaughtering a certain humanoid race, what punishment would he receive?"

Shi Junjun's voice when he said this sentence was not light.

The customers and waiters who heard the words clearly in the vicinity all cast their eyes on "This guy must have a bad brain?"

"A nobleman with the title of viscount, slaughtering humanoid races?"

The brown-haired woman who was about to put on her helmet heard this, and looked up at Shi Junjun's pair of eyes that were staring at her.

So she originally planned to leave after answering the question, put the things in her hand back on the table, and said:

"If this assumption is true, I think this is probably the biggest case I have been involved in since joining the anti-slave trade department's inspection team."

"May I ask what is the slaughtered humanoid race in your hypothesis?"

"Goblins."

"Brother...... Brin? The brown-haired woman raised her eyebrows, "As far as I know, although this race is also under the protection of the two major laws of the kingdom, but from the information I have come across, they should mostly live in the forests in the south of the kingdom in the form of small tribes, how can they be slaughtered by human nobles?" ”

"But in my assumptions, it did happen."

The girl whispered.

"So what kind of punishment will that nobleman receive?"

"According to the situation you have described, if there is conclusive human and material evidence, and the local court has the courage to issue a judgment against a nobleman, then two-thirds of the property in the name of the nobleman will be confiscated into the royal treasury, and the title of one or two levels will be reduced depending on the severity of the case, and as for those who accept the nobles' assignment to slaughter, most of the serious cases will be guillotined......"

The brown-haired woman, who was the captain of the 29th detachment of the Southern Squadron of the Kingdom's Anti-Slavery Department, described the most ideal situation at this moment.

According to the laws of the kingdom, the process necessary to convict a nobleman is extremely cumbersome, and the slightest mistake in any one step can lead to the loss of previous achievements.

It is more likely that the local court is not willing to take on such a lawsuit at the risk of offending all the nobles in the jurisdiction at the same time.

It boils down to the reason, most of which is that as soon as this case is opened, none of these big people know if they will be the next unlucky ghost to suffer.

Even if all the human and material evidence is complete, and all links are impeccable, the court is willing to risk offending all the nobles in the jurisdiction to make a judgment, and the most likely to lose their lives are only those who take the order.

And if these people bite to death because they are acting according to their own ideas, the nobles who commit the crime may not even be punished......

"Is it just fines and demotion?" The girl didn't have the slightest intention of retracting her gaze, "After killing so many people and getting so much blood on his hands, can you still let him continue to sit in that seat, sit back and watch him act recklessly, and wait until the next time this kind of thing happens again, go through the last process again, and hastily understand this thorny trouble with the lives of a few scapegoats?" ”

"The ancestors of these nobles were all meritorious deeds who had made great contributions to the kingdom, and they ......"

Yes, the hardships of my life, my grandfather, my Amma, they have already eaten for me when they entered the customs.

The girl who remembered this line inexplicably couldn't help but laugh out loud, but there were too many emotions and meanings in the laughter that had nothing to do with joy.

It turns out that the two worlds are no different.

The brown-haired woman, who had not finished speaking, looked at the female adventurer who was laughing uncontrollably in front of her, and the latter's fierce words did not annoy her.

On the contrary, the captain of the 29th detachment of the Southern Squadron of the Inspection Brigade of the Kingdom's Anti-Slavery Department vaguely felt in his heart that what the female adventurer in front of him said was very reasonable.

"That's how the rules of this world ......," she sighed, "everything we do is only to uphold the rules of this world, and what can really change these rules is the real big people who are high up......"

"No, you're not right."

Shi Junjun retorted.

"Not only those big people who are on the high, but we can also change the world and use our own actions to make those who deserve retribution pay the price they deserve."

"We?" The brown-haired woman sat up straight unconsciously, "Can we change the world too?" ”

"Of course." When she said this, Junjun smiled slyly, "Have you heard this?" ”

"What?"

"Princes and generals, rather have a kind!"
