Fringira was a little dissatisfied, "My lord, Julia is back. ”

"Well, let her come over to me."

Julia was wearing a black robe, with a large area of snow-white skin on her cuffs, and she squeezed out a sweet smile: "My lord, in order to complete the task you gave me, I don't dare to slack off along the way." ”

Lothar nodded slightly perfunctorily: "Good work." ”

Julia complimented, "It's all what people should do, my lord, I heard that you killed an adult earthly dragon with your own hands on the way back?" What a gratifying congratulations! ”

Lothar frowned, "Get down to business." ”

The smile on Julia's face froze: "My lord, Stephanie, that old woman has fallen on the fountain due to the aging of the handrail on the balcony, and she is dead." ”

Lothar said in a deep voice, "How was Renard's reaction?" ”

"He didn't react in particular."

Lothar couldn't help but laugh and said, "Heh, who said that Renard is a reckless idiot? ”

Frigila reminded from the side, "It seems to be your father, Count Werner." ”

…

Early the next morning.

The guards of the brigade escorted the wagons loaded with baggage into Hebron.

Hussein's face turned pale.

He was held in solitary confinement in a prison van.

Jeanne rode her horse leisurely past him.

"I also have a secret treasure place, as long as your family spares my family's life, I am willing to inform your family of this treasure place."

Jeanne raised a finger and pointed to her ear: "I don't understand what you're saying, and I'm not interested in understanding, if you want to plead, you can do it soon." ”

The guards, clad in stubbornness, lined up in two at the castle gate.

They wore at least two layers of chain mail, a crested helmet, a round shield, and a formidable two-handed axe.

As the iron gate was slowly raised by the winch.

"Whew-"

The guards raised their battle axes and let out a battle cry in unison.

"Barbarian, it's just a bunch of savages!"

Hussein felt his heart beating hard,

He was shoved into the hall of the lords.

He looked up, and before he could see the young earl sitting on the gilded throne, he noticed the black-scaled dragon head under the banner of the great double-headed eagle.

Dragon Slayer...

He turned out to be a dragon slayer!

Hussein said with some sincerity: "Count Lothar, I don't understand, what exactly did I do wrong, if someone paid you for money?" No matter how much they give, I'll give double! ”

"You've broken the law, Hussein."

Lothar said expressionlessly.

Although he is only a young man, because of his dragonborn blood and high position, he looks so majestic.

"No one can buy me, I'm just here to uphold the sanctity of the law."

Hussein was clearly unconvinced.

He accentuated his tone and said, "Don't think that I will hide all my money at home, I still have three hidden treasures, as long as you let me go, these treasures will be yours." ”

Lothar stressed again: "I have already said that no one can buy me, Hussein. ”

"Accept the public trial, I will follow the custom of the ancient empire, when everyone gives you a thumbs up, you can live, when everyone gives you a thumbs up, you will die."

"What's the point of doing this kind of trick?"

Hussein shouted angrily, "Your Excellency, you have no idea how much gold and silver are hidden in my three treasure places, which are the wealth that my family has accumulated for generations. ”

He knew that with what he did, no one would think he deserved to live.

"I repeat at the end, no one can buy me."

Lothar smiled and said, "Make my people more involved, that's your last worth." Alternatively, you may consider using your outstanding eloquence to give yourself a chance to avoid death. ”

He waved his hand: "Take him down." ”

Lothar looked at Friengira, and she immediately understood, patted her non-existent breast, and said, "Wrap it up on me"—poor Hussein, about to be squeezed out of the last shred of oil.

Hussein's angry roar faded away.

"Next, bring Adnan up."

Last night, Ulm led his troops to storm Adnan's mansion.

This middle-aged man has a full beard, and in just one night, he looks like he is ten years old: "My lord, I don't understand, why did you suddenly attack me? Could it be that I have something disrespectful to you? ”

"Aziz, you should know the name."

Adnan's face changed greatly: "My lord, just because of such a trivial matter? ”

"A trifle?"

Aziz, who was listening outside the door, roared angrily: "You raped my wife and forced her to commit suicide by jumping into a well, do you think this is a trivial matter? ”

Lothar pointed to Aziz and said, "He's a freedman, right?" ”

Aziz's complexion changed slightly.

"Yes, that's right, but..."

"No, since you are not a serf, Aziz and you are only in an employment relationship, you have broken the law, Mr. Adnan, although I am sad, I still have to declare you guilty."

Adnan's expression was gloomy, he lowered his head, and said coldly: "My lord, I offer you horses, gold and silver, but you treat us so harshly, don't you want to think about the consequences?" ”

"Huh-"

A contemptuous laugh completely infuriated Adnan, who raised his head and said, "You can imprison me for such insignificant reasons, but you will regret it sooner or later if you break the rules!" ”

Lothar picked up a papyrus in her hand: "This is the sin you and your family have committed, and you think it is insignificant, but in my opinion, it is enough to sentence you to death ten times." ”

"Adnan, I grant you the same treatment as Hussein, and you will both declare your sins to all the citizens of Hebron at the Public Trial, and if they think you do not deserve to die, you will live."

Adnan's tone suddenly raised: "Lord Earl, do you really want to kill me?" ”

He didn't have to think about it, he knew what it would be like to hand him over to those untouchables for trial.

Lothar shook her head and said, "It's not that I'm going to kill you, it's the law that wants to kill you." ”

Adnan roared, "You are crazy, Lothar, you are simply crazy, is it more important in your eyes to win over those untouchables who do not even have a set of clothes than we 'heads' who have food, ordnance and a lot of gold and silver in our homes?" ”

Lothar waved his hand, motioning for the people to push him out.

He sighed lightly: "Who let you eat too much, even I don't want to eat too much, let alone the civilians below." ”

...

Outside, there was already a lot of people.

The people who had been waiting for a long time were furious when they heard Umr recount the sins of these people.

Most of the pilgrims to Hebron were poor people, and they felt the same as if they had heard of the sins of the great men of these places.

Zoroastrians domesticated them, but they didn't really know how to rebel.

It's just that even the farm tools in their hands need to be rented from the powerful people in these places, and a group of unarmed people who think about what they can eat for the next meal every day have long been numb in their hearts, so how can they think about how to resist?

Ulm's palms were shaking with nervousness.

He looked at what was written on the papyrus, and read 1510: "Hussein, three days ago, in private, violated the precepts, drank alcohol and raped Aziz's wife, and after his wife committed suicide by throwing herself into a well, Aziz was beaten up and beaten instead. ”

Senmut translated aloud from the side.

"In addition, Hussein also financed the following three bandit gangs to plunder the countryside..."

Below, everyone began to angrily pick up stones, rotten vegetable leaves, and other things in their hands, and threw them at Hussein, who was imprisoned in a cage.

"If you think that this man is not worthy of death, give him a thumbs up, and if you think that he deserves to be sentenced to death, give him a thumbs up."

Present, whether Christians, Jews or Saracens, almost without exception, all gave a thumbs up.

A variety of different languages converge into a single word.

"Death penalty!"

"Death penalty!"

"Death penalty!"

As the executioner removed the plank from Hussein's feet, his feet suddenly fell into the air, and his whole body was suspended in the air, his face flushed.

After a few moments, his head tilted and he lost his breath.

"Hooray!"

"Heavenly Father (Holy Fire) bless the Earl."

"Long live the Earl!"

"May the righteous adults live a long life!"

Standing on the tower at the top of the castle, Lothar listened to the shouts of the city and whispered, "This is the power of the so-called 'untouchables'. ”
