When the embarrassed Luke saw some of the skeletons suddenly move out of the way and lower their weapons and bow their heads, he probably predicted what was going to happen.

Seeing the high-spirited lord Vincent slowly approaching with his subordinates and a group of people, he fell into deeper despair.

"Good evening, Elder. I don't sleep in the middle of the night, and I sleepwalk here? ”

Vincent stood about twenty meters away from him, staring at Luke and his cronies with gusto, undisguised from the pleasure on his face.

The big businessman who used to call for wind and rain in the territory is completely like a fleeing refugee at this time, not only disheveled, but also slightly injured, and he has no vigor at all.

The panicked escape made Luke tired, his fat head was covered with cold sweat, and there was no hatred in his eyes that could not be concealed except for horror.

To Vincent's surprise, the fat man didn't tremble at all.

"My lord, this is not the proper behavior of a leader to treat a law-abiding merchant like this. It's the first time I've been in the fifteen years since I've been in the realm that I've encountered such brutality and injustice, and it will tarnish your prestige. ”

Luke's quibbling was also expected, and the corners of Vincent's mouth curled up and he sneered.

"Armed resistance to taxes is a serious violation of the rule of law in the territory, and it is already an unpardonable sin."

"As for whether you are law-abiding or not, I will not wronged you, there are witnesses, in addition to the living, there are also dead spirits to testify."

"At least you don't talk nonsense now, because what you say now will become evidence in court and released to all the people."

"Now hurry up and announce that you accept the law, and I will let you live in a single room without rats."

In the face of Vincent's accountability, Luke did not have much fear, but showed an arrogant demeanor.

"If you want my wealth, just take it, it's not the first time that the demons have blackmailed and framed like this. However, have you considered the consequences of doing so? Without the help of the merchants, the territory will be completely ruined and irretrievable......"

"Your predecessor is also a demon, and your predecessor is still a demon, but none of them let the people live a good life, and without us, everyone would be poor and starving......"

"My fathers were warriors who fought against you, and they did great things on the battlefield, and I didn't have that kind of talent, so I did my part, bringing prosperity and fairness to the locality, and I lived a dignified life and did what I did worthy of the ...... of the community."

"Kill me, from the coast to Hessenburg, the capital of King Herodes, and your notoriety will be known to all, to all."

Vincent really didn't know who gave him the courage to give him this kind of self-righteousness that was dying......

The dead fat man did this, undoubtedly trying to provoke himself and at the same time separate himself from the relationship between himself and fate.

As a demon, killing people must be a familiar way, but it is not a forte to be convinced.

However, Vincent is going to kill people today.

There is no harm without contrast.

Instead of showing how kind the demons are, it is better to expose the hypocrisy of cultists in human skin.

To increase the belief in craftsmen, the people who need to obey and be happy, and it is more important to win the trust of people than to kill people.

"Enough! It is impossible for a territory to become rich by a profiteer like you. Vincent interrupted Luke, "You relied on the monopoly of trade routes to sell the goods of your territory to Herod at a low price, and then sold foreign goods at a high price in your territory, making profits from them and harming the people, causing everyone in your territory to suffer greatly. ”

As he spoke, Vincent pulled out a palm-sized loaf of bread in front of some of the people behind him, held it up and questioned Luke.

"This was bought from your bakery, tell me how much it is!"

No one expected that the lord would make a fuss with a loaf of bread, and these people, who were originally going to see the execution, were immediately attracted to attention.

The selection of cases before the class is very important, although the bread is small, but it has a lot of meaning.

"I have a lot of business, how do I know how much this thing costs?" Luke replied angrily, "Even if bread is expensive, it's because you collect too much tax and are never satisfied!" ”

"The taxes in the coastal territory are lower than those in the territory next door, if the taxes are high, why do you still rely on doing business locally?" Vincent unceremoniously exposed the lie, "Not only is the tax low, but it can't be collected, because everyone from the lord to the tax collector has been bribed by you before, so that the territory's finances are empty all year round!" ”

"People, bread has risen to 5 copper coins in the past few days, do you think it's fair?" Vincent asked the people aloud, "Why did I triple the price of bread so far yesterday without increasing the tax on copper plates and without levying grain?" ”

"It's not fair!" Someone shouted, "It's only been a child last month!" ”

"You can see the previous lord sucking blood, but these guys will suck blood every day tomorrow, and they will pretend to be harmless to humans and animals! Shameful! Vincent stretched out his hand, pointed to the chamber of commerce's warehouse, and said bitterly, "Look at how much grain and flour there is in it, but they just don't sell it, they just want everyone to bleed to feed them." ”

As he spoke, Vincent patted his chest and asked, his expression extremely sad.

"When we came to Silver Dragon Castle, my men and I didn't have a meal...... A meal! No one eats in the castle except Miss Wald, do you know why? ”

"Why?" Shni Coolster, who was watching the excitement, asked curiously, "Why don't you eat?" ”

"I blame myself for not being able to eat!" Vincent shouted loudly, "If the people can't afford to eat, the lord is not qualified to eat!" ”

This logic is not very tenable, but the momentum and appeal of the words first shocked the people speechless, but soon attracted a cheer and praise.

Regardless of whether the lord can live without eating, daring to say such down-to-earth words will naturally make people empathize and excited.

Vinson was not lying.

The unpalatable food is one reason, and the fact that high-level demons can rely on magic to sustain their lives is another.

"If you are poor, if your territory is poor, your lord will be poor, but if your territory is poor, these speculative profiteers will eat with their mouths full of oil!" Vincent pointed at himself with his thumb and mouthed at Lukennunu, who gritted his teeth, "Keep your eyes open and see who I or he looks like a thief who steals the wealth of the people!" ”

From the disdain, resentment, or schadenfreude in the eyes of the populace, Luke already knew their answer.

"Dear people, swear to the gods that I came here empty-handed, bringing a lot of joy to the people, and not stealing anything." Vincent stretched out his arms, his face full of awe-inspiring righteousness, "What about you?" Where did your mansions, your slaves, and your wealth come from, and how much have you brought to everyone? ”

These words left Luke speechless.

This cunning demon clan has not had time to do evil at all, and he dares to shamelessly pretend to be a good person and buy people's hearts.

However, the wealth in the Chamber of Commerce made all his justifications pale in comparison.

"It is a heinous crime that you do not hesitate to starve innocent people for ulterior and insidious purposes!" Vincent then said to the already emotionally charged people, "Did they treat you well and make your life happier when I was away?" ”

"No, never!"

"The profiteers have never changed!"

"We are poor, but they are happy!"

Although there were only a few dozen people in the people, the voice of indignation made Luke tremble more than the killing of the demons just now.

Born as a human being, but helping the demons?

"By the way, your so-called heroic father is not a warrior on the battlefield at all, but a rat generation of flies and dogs." Vincent hooked his hand behind him, "Every festive season, let him see the old father's voice and smile." ”

The necromancer shook his staff of bones and summoned an obscene-looking necromancer from a distance.

Seeing the appearance of this necromancy, Luke's small eyes almost popped out.

This group of immoral demons actually summoned the soul of their father!

But isn't my father's grave in the churchyard?

"This is the father of the Elder, who joined the army of the kingdom of Herodes, fought everywhere with the army, and it didn't take long for him to make a fortune and start to go to the sea to do business."

Vincent first introduced it in a serious manner, and suddenly the conversation changed.

"O heroes who fought against our people, tell everyone where your exploits and wealth come from!"

"Can't tell!" Luke suddenly became anxious, "This is blasphemy against the dead!" ”

However, his voice, the necromancer is simply inaudible, much less obedient.

"Touching corpses after the war, stealing the property of the dead, extorting the family of the deceased, pretending to receive the reward of the deceased, pretending to be a demon to rob civilians, and using the leaders of civilians to reward ......"

The confession of the necromancer directly allowed Luke to break the defense on the spot, and also opened the eyes of the onlookers.

"What a war hero, compared to him, the ogre can be regarded as a decent gentleman." After Vincent's sarcasm, he also asked everyone, "Since ancient times, the son has inherited his father's business, and the father has not even let go of the money of the dead, can the son let go of the living?" ”
