Chapter 645: Respect for Fruits
Actually, there was a bonus.
The city has a high walled city with a cleverly designed structure that is a remnant of a long time ago.
And Adore's ability to be a capable liar has once again demonstrated his knowledge in this regard.
"More than a century ago, the Oga Gorge Pass was still part of the Night Country Country, and the border of the Sunrise Kingdom had not yet extended into the distance, and the city was the border fortress at that time, so a high wall was built to defend against foreign enemies. However, with the change of times, the rising kingdom of Risheng became stronger and stronger, the Yexiang country was defeated and retreated, and after the expansion of the national border, although the city lost its function as a military stronghold to a certain extent, the former high wall was also left as a memorial and landmark. ”
Looking at the city wall in the distance, Adore couldn't help but feel some emotion in his tone.
Many historical relics are always so touching after reading them.
It's a pity that he also dreamed when he was young, and now he is a liar who is personally annoying...... Oh no, it's the wizard's dogleg now.
He quickly came out of his emotions and reminded: "Master, it's close to the border pass, after all, this is also a border city in the past, and the garrison shouldn't be weak, so you still have to be careful." ”
Dune nodded in response, but swaggered towards the city.
Adore knew a little bit about the old man's temper, and had no choice but to follow with his bag.
As soon as he came, before anything else had happened, he saw a tall log in front of him with a man tied to it, and a soldier seemed to be announcing something to the people around him.
The two curiously leaned together to eat melons.
This kind of execution scene is not the first time I have seen it along the way.
"Night country wizards" captured during witch hunts are sentenced to death after interrogation, and in order to appease the public and increase their self-confidence, they often choose to execute people in public.
At this time, it is a bit of a traditional imitation of the meaning of the tradition, and one of the classics is taken at the stake.
At this time, the person tied to the stake was a tall, dirty, and sloppy middle-aged man.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today, another evil sorcerer lurking around us has been exposed for his evil deeds. First of all, let's thank the zealous Demeke family on Nemesis Street for discovering the wizard's whereabouts. ”
"It is reported that this wizard sneaked into Mr. Meyer's house on Nemesis Street a week ago, which is the neighbor of the DeMeke family." The soldier continued.
Some of the residents living on that street were disturbed when they heard about it.
"Mr. Meyer is dead!"
"He's the one who did it!"
"It must be him!"
"Damn Nightfolk, damned wizard! Burn him! ”
The soldier raised his hand to calm the anger of the people, and then continued: "Yes, according to the investigation, it is very likely that this wizard committed a great crime against Meyer in order to hide in Mayer's house!" It even took Mayer's life! Meyer is a forty-six-year-old single male, uh, taciturn, but still a good citizen. It is heartbreaking that such a person has been so mutilated. ”
After the interrogation, the sorcerer withstood the severe test and kept his mouth shut. Judgment Day is approaching, so we choose to divide this wizard by burning at the stake today. ”
When the words fell, shouts suddenly rang out all around, most of them were thanking the Sunrise soldiers for their bright actions, some were thanking the Demeke family of the whistleblower, and naturally there were also voices cursing the man at close range and telling him to go to hell quickly.
In this case, the man seemed a little dazed.
Then, looking up, he seemed to be finally sober, looking at his surroundings with some bewilderment.
In hindsight, he realized something and wanted to shout something, but he was stunned, as if he didn't know what to say, and finally just lowered his head in silence.
Adore moved away from the frenetic crowd around him, pouting a little disdainfully.
He didn't have a bad mind and understood what the new witch hunt was for, but he still resisted a little bit of the social atmosphere caused by some of the civil influence brought about by this level of propaganda.
"That's why most people are so easy to deceive...... "The wrinkles on his face condensed together and he muttered.
"Analyze it." Dune glanced at him with interest and said.
The frenetic atmosphere brought about by the new witch hunt did cause great trouble for the infiltrators of Nighttown, and many hapless infiltrators were captured during this time.
But such a fanaticism naturally has pros and cons.
When people completely abandon their minds based on external indicators, some catastrophes can easily ensue.
For example, unjust, false and wrongful convictions in the current environment.
Under the trend of witch hunts, the prosecution of the public is frequent, and the official has to deal with countless cases every day, and over time, there will always be mistakes in handling under the condition of limited manpower and energy.
There is no time, the people outside are looking forward to giving results as soon as possible, don't you give them a response sooner because you want to be condemned by them and then become incompetent people who need to be eliminated in a thriving social environment?
The frequency of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases has naturally increased.
Along the way, Dune and Adore witnessed many executions, ranging from real nightland infiltrators to simple nightcountry immigrants, and even more innocent people who were not guilty of death, or completely innocent but had no arguments against the outside world.
None of that matters.
Because in the end, they will all be burned.
It's easy to see if most people are real or fake.
"He's not a night countryman, and his facial features don't match. It's kind of like a more southerner people. The injuries on his body have shown that he was tortured, and although I don't know much about wizarding and witchcraft, I know how to disguise myself, and I can rule out the possibility of disguise. There was confusion in his expression about the status quo, and I thought he wanted to defend it, but for some reason, he gave up. Perhaps it is because he understands that no amount of words in the face of this situation will pale in the face of power. ”
After a pause, Adore sighed, "Another poor man, he is not a wizard. ”
"No, he is indeed a wizard." Dune said suddenly.
Adore looked at the dunes in disbelief.
Dune laughed, "You were right, but in the end, you were wrong, he is indeed a wizard." ”
"Wizard ......" Adore shook his head, he didn't understand.
"But he's not a Nightfarer either, and he certainly has nothing to do with Nightlander." Dune leaves with Adore, then turns into an alley.
Open one of the packages that Adore was carrying.
This package is used for camouflage, and there is no contradiction in any package on the traveler.
When I opened it, it was pitch black inside, and then I relied on the ability of the Shadow World to touch things casually.
This is Wan Yi's four-dimensional pocket.
Adore looked at the dunes and pulled out a signature costume of the Nightland Remnants.
This is what they really encountered on the way to the night country, and they got it after killing people and picking up corpses.
Adore was still wondering what the wizard wanted this dirty and shabby suit for, but now he couldn't help but be silent after seeing the sand dune set.
"Shall we save him?" He didn't ask why he was wearing this outfit, but about the operation.
I've seen a lot of innocent people before, but the wizard master has skipped it after reading it, but this time the wizard master chose to save him, which is a little inconsistent with his impression of the wizard master during this time.
He felt that the wizard master was indeed very evil, cold-blooded, unkind to anyone, and did not take his life seriously, but he was very good to him, at least he didn't threaten him with his life once later.
Anyway, he is definitely not a good person who will see unevenness on the road.
"I know that wizard, and I'm a little curious about him." Dune said casually.
The person just now was the man who entered the "withered leaves" boundary zone with him at about the same time.
Although I felt quite weak at the time, there were more or less people who had undergone qualitative changes, how could they not even be able to beat this level on the bright side of this world and be easily caught, or even tortured to extract confessions?
Moreover, just after getting closer, the sand dunes found a clue.
That person's mental willpower is more active, and there are traces of witchcraft in his body!
So Dune isn't bluffing, that man is really a wizard!
Anyway, there must be a qualitative change in the direction of spells, witchcraft, etc., and then there is a certain degree of systematic learning, which is very similar to the system that Red gave to Brother Supervisor, and it is basically certain that it is a qualitative change from this world.
Combined with the fact that the man broke into the "dry red" boundary zone alone at this awkward point in time, Dune felt that there should be some clues on this person.
Therefore, to save, it is indeed to be saved.
I've always been treated as a night country wizard, so let's really be it now.
"What are you doing? Why don't you wear it yet? He dressed, and turned his head to see that Adore was still in a daze.
Hearing Dune's words, Yadolei became even more sluggish: "I'm going to wear it too?" ”
"We're in this group, and the magician needs an assistant? How could a wizard not have one? ”
Adore was flattered, though the logic sounded weird, and he didn't want it at all.
But that's how it was, and he put on his costume without tears.
Because of the small body, these sets of clothes do not fit, and it looks even more embarrassing.
"Whoa." Dune then handed Adore a weapon scented of oranges.
It's an orange knife.
It looks like a petal of orange, with an emerald green pedicle as a grip, and because the orange petal is a complete semicircle, the knife looks like a large kitchen knife.
"......" Yadolei had nothing to say.
This seems to be the weapon of the stupid orange in the story told by the old man in the carriage before.
At that time, he was still complaining in his heart about why the fruit used his body as a weapon, and the picture of digging a petal out of his body to make a weapon was very abstract.
And now I found out that the old man really has this kind of weapon.
There is a kind of beauty drawn by a child's whims.
Look at the side, the old man didn't take out the signature weapon of the banana in the story - the banana riding spear - because it was said before that bananas are darts, the flesh is edible, and the skin is used as a boomerang. Thinking of this, Adore glanced at his orange knife and wondered if it could be eaten.
However, he looked at the wizard again, and saw that the weapon he had taken out was a pineapple turtle.
A turtle-like pineapple, a pineapple-like turtle.
The pineapple turtle's tail is then tied to a verdant chain.
Yes.
This is a "pineapple turtle meteor hammer".
It's okay to separate the three words.
It's a bit of a head-cramping connection.
