)
The setting sun has completely sunk below the horizon, and the clouds of fire have gradually disappeared from the sky, and then the dim ultramarine has slowly become the master of the sky, leaving only a faint faint blush struggling in the sky, and the darkness that slowly extends from the other direction has begun to once again take the earth into his own embrace.
The end of the day should be a warm time, when people who have had a busy day finally have the opportunity to temporarily free themselves from the shackles of life, and the sparse flow of people swells in the streets, gradually absorbed into the city, at the dinner table, or in the tavern to vent the fatigue of the day with nagging.
However, there are also some people who are destined not to enjoy such a life. Heart Hunt Throne 391
For example, the thirty or so knights gathered near a small square.
"Mistress Yulia. The bodies of the three rangers were found in an abandoned alley not far from here, their weapons gone...... "A knight possessed himself on his horse and saluted the silver-armored knight who had arrived on horseback. The other party just nodded and motioned for him to stand down.
Under the mask as smooth as silver, the face of the female holy warrior sank like water...... His gaze swept to the side of the three corpses that were placed on the plank. She clenched her teeth slightly.
With the addition of these three, at least six patrolmen have lost their lives for no reason in the last three days, and in her memory, this is already an unprecedented case in ten years...... Although the Bauhinia District has always been known as the source of the dirt and dirt in Gushan City, although those filthy wanderers may choose good and innocent people to kill for money, but usually they don't have the courage to put their ideas on the patrol heads, unless they are really cornered, otherwise it is a well-observed rule that the people do not fight with the officials......
Lately, though, all seem to have become different.
The paladin shook her head irritably, banishing the chaotic thoughts away. Allow yourself to focus a little bit on this tragedy.
The method of killing was the same, it was a sword wound that cut the throat, and the soldier's equipment, whether it was chain mail or riding boots, was completely pulled out, and only a pair of trousers remained...... This was clearly not a spur-of-the-moment killing, but a purposeful action.
But that's all that can be known, this murderer is likely to be a very old killer who never leaves any clues, so until the mages who can use the prophecy spell are ready, they can only be shrouded in that layer of fog.
"Dawn ......is above," the paladin lowered his gaze and muttered a prayer for the sake of the souls who had passed away, and for the sake of guiding his own heart.
"Miss Yulia. You've already inspected a dozen hourglasses today," a call from a distance made the woman raise her eyes and see the concerned and somewhat childish young face: "If you feel tired, you might as well leave these things to the knights to deal with?"
"It's okay, it's nothing to me, try to get rid of it so I can share my father's burden......," the woman forced her voice to take on some firmness.
Yes, for the sake of the father.
The chaotic thoughts seem to have taken the opportunity to come to my heart again.
Although I have watched my father work while coughing since I was a child, and even the heart-rending painful expression, it is not unprecedented, but recently, I can clearly feel the weakness of that man, even if his cough seems to be reducing, but the lack of breath in the words, as well as the weak movements, and even the smile he is holding on, will make the woman feel that her heart is covered by layers of haze.
"It can't be...... You're mistaken!"
The screams and noise faded the memory, and the paladin looked up, noticing the approaching figures—four city guard soldiers pressing against the shoulders of two emaciated half-elves, leading them to the woman's horse.
"We are all honest people here, how can we kill people, and we are still patrol masters? they killed us almost ......" The half-elf civilians struggled, and the seemingly thin people also burst out with great strength, making the patrol dissatisfied, and grabbed them tighter: "This is obviously someone who threw it to us after doing it, and the fool can't see it!"
"Shut up! Tom's blood was all spilled on the ground, how could he have moved here, you damn bastard!" one of the patrolmen was obviously related to some of the victims, so he didn't mind giving the hapless fellow a few kicks on the knee: "I'll let you eat your shoes, including your tongue!"
"Someone saw this guy appear in the dead man's place, and besides, we found this guy on this guy. After a reprimand, he pouted, then raised his hand. Heart Hunt Throne 391
"No one will be able to determine whether you are guilty or not until you have been tried, and we will only take you to the place where you will be tried. The paladin's gaze swept over the dagger in the soldier's hand, the standard weapon of the patrolmen, and then at the tattered jacket on the civilian's body, and could only sigh, and gently comforted: "If you are really innocent, then there is no need to worry. ”
"No way!"
A sudden hoarse cry startled the knightess—and when she looked around, she appeared, and by some time there were many figures gathered around this humble clearing.
Standing at the intersection, poking their heads out of the windows of dilapidated houses, doors, or somewhere, at least two or three hundred ragged figures were still gathering from all around, almost in the space of a dozen breaths, they had occupied all the roads around them. Then, there's this little empty space.
"You can't go with them! If you go with them, you'll die!" A sharp voice suddenly sounded in the crowd, covering up all the chaos and noise around them: "These bastards are simply pretending, they have already started! They just want to arrest our people and send them away one by one! Any maintenance of law and order is an excuse, they just want to arrest us, and they are afraid that there will be too many of us!"
"Shut up, be silent!"
The knights got nervous, and they moved their horses' heads into a small circle, and the knight closest to the civilian turned his spear and drew it hard, causing the fellow to scream and fall backwards!
"We're not afraid of you! Can you oppress us bitter people just because you have a sword?"
A loud cry rang out, and the crowd dispersed slightly, revealing the man who said it, a half-elf man with gray hair and stubble.
He staggered forward, clutching a large wine bottle, as if it would give him enough courage to spit out the words in his heart: "Yesterday, just yesterday, these fellows even attacked our temple, and the priests, the priests of the goddess who had been relieving us of our sickness without compensation, have been taken by them and thrown into the black prison without even being judged!
This is the incitement of the naked 1uo is obviously extremely effective, and the crowd suddenly resounded with a sound of harmony, and the more grandiose it became:
"When do you care if we live or die? On Poplar Street in the east, it's been three years since Tina's youngest daughter was killed, have you ever caught the murderer?"
"And the unlucky old Hawke, the last bit of money is gone, and there is no ...... even the coffin for burial"
"They didn't treat us as human beings!
"That's right, they're going to take us as slaves!" the man shouted in a hoarse voice as if he were going to drown himself, "Don't think we're ...... Well, I don't know anything! The kingdom prohibits the slave trade, but they capture our people in the name of servitude!"
"Shut your foul mouth, you lowly ......," a knight cursed, raising his spear, but before he could swing it, a silver handpiece was raised, halting his movements.
"Civilians, please don't listen to these senseless rumors! Drum Mountain City has not wronged any harmless people, let alone sent them anywhere......" Yulia frowned tightly, as a paladin, she never tolerated violence against innocents...... But when the young woman spoke, she didn't know how to face this large swath of questioning and dissatisfied eyes...... It can only be justified somewhat in vain with negation.
So this argument was interrupted.
"My dad...... My dad is not guilty of any sin at all!He pays you taxes every month, please, will you let him go?" The childish voice immediately drew everyone's attention away from the paladin and projected it onto the child who suddenly spoke.
Then a woman hastily squeezed out of the crowd and covered the little boy's mouth, and she raised her head and looked at the approaching noble cavalry with a pleading gaze.
So, this voice leads to a greater response.
"Let the Duke give us an explanation! Do you want us all to die after arresting people indiscriminately for three days?" A woman shouted. Heart Hunt Throne 391
"Lord Duke, if only Lord Duke were still here!" another woman's voice echoed, "My aunt's uncle's brother's daughter, there is an errand in the city, and she said that Lord Duke is seriously ill and has been unable to take care of things for several ten days, and now it is good and sometimes bad, so it is possible to give an order?"
"My aunt's daughter's friend's mom said the same thing......"
Voices came out of every corner, pumping people's nerves tighter little by little...... Before they knew it, they had sketched the outline of a story in their minds, and the order that the original fear had imposed on them continued to disintegrate.
"These damned liars, murderers! they murdered the Duke, it's a conspiracy! we can't compromise!" The crowd slowly crowded in, and new people were constantly joining in the rear, and they were moving forward in a noisy and chaotic manner, slowly closing the front man closer to the knights.
The cacophony of voices rose up, and for a moment it almost resounded over the entire block: "We can't just be sold like goods by them!"
"This ......" the paladin couldn't help but be a little confused, she didn't expect to encounter such a thing, "please calm down, we will have a way to ......" she shouted, but the woman's voice was nothing compared to the roars of those people.
"Quiet!"
The sound created by the illusion technique rolled out like thunder and spread throughout the city......
In the midst of such loud noises, even trained horses involuntarily neighed and kicked, forcing the knight to do his best to reassure him, while the humans reflexively focused their gaze on the place where the sound came from...... Willian rode his horse gently, and the mount, which he had cast his spell, quietly passed through the knights and came to the paladin.
"Please be quiet and restrain yourself, I don't know where you heard these rumors, but this kind of nonsense will not bring you any good...... You are choosing, to be the enemy of the Duke!"
The mage apprentice took a deep breath and swept his gaze over the civilians who were slightly shocked: "That's right, Lord Duke's body is occasionally infected with a small illness now, but it is not as strict as you have rumored, and about your temple, we will soon find out the reason, I guarantee you in the honor of nobility, I will definitely give you a reasonable explanation." ”
The crowd fell silent like never before...... The sound amplified by the illusion technique contained a considerable amount of rationality, which made the half-elf people can't help but start to think about it......
However, this riot is not destined to end lightly.
"Pretend, what are you doing? Can what you say count?" A screech from the corner quickly ruined the young apprentice's efforts: "We don't recognize who you are back at the castle, and who knows what will happen after that?
Willian's brow furrowed, and he keenly discerned the taupe-robed figure from the crowd, but the latter did not give him a chance to take a closer look, and then disappeared into the crowd.
"There's something wrong with this, Miss Yulia, please prepare the knights to defend and avoid riots......," Yurian lowered his voice and said to the female paladin beside him.
But before he could finish speaking, a scream interrupted him - a stone was thrown at him. Ran straight to his forehead, and then flew away with a thud, if it weren't for the female paladin next to him who took the first step to raise the iron glove, this stone would have made Willian's head bleed!
The stones became denser at this time, and although they could only make a clanging sound on the knight's armor, it made the scene more chaotic!
"What a fool's errand!Willian!Can you make any sense with these pariahs? They are so arrogant, they are simply holding the nobles hostage! For that reason these fellows should all be hanged!" A loud sneer came from one end of the square, and the crowd there was immediately separated—a dozen horsemen rammed in from it, so that the people who had been in front of them could only scatter in a hurry, but some of them were still so slow that they were mercilessly knocked away by the horses' hooves!
On the first horse, sat the apprentice knight of the ThyssenKrup family. He rode gracefully through the crowd and commanded in a loud voice, as if he didn't care if it would bring the matter to disaster:
"Knights, get those damned untouchables out of here, and those talkatives! If anyone dares to move, let them taste the arrows! I don't believe what you rabble can do to us? I'm afraid you're united? I'm going to see what you bastards are so good that you dare to send your head over and ram my sword? Brave soldiers, give it to me! Get rid of them! Let these bastards know what your weapons do!"
"That's enough, Thyssenkrew! you're only going to make them ......," even Yulia sensed something strange as she waved her hand to interrupt her deputy's smug ......roar.
However, it seems to be a little late to stop.
After all, as a knight squire, this Klein Letney Thyssenkrit has the official rank of knight captain here in Drum Mountain City, and his statement is more in line with the psychology of those noble knights...... In addition to the paladins, how many people will think about the problem from the perspective of those untouchables, and how many people will think about the life and death of those guys?
"Fuck off, you bastard pariahs!"
A knight shouted. Riding his horse kicked away a half-elf, who was approaching his horse, trying to steal something, or maybe it was the unlucky guy who had been pushed out at all. But at any rate, the knight's steel-toed boots were no joke, and the poor man's forehead turned red at once, and he staggered backwards, but very unfortunately, a stake coincidentally stopped in his way, and then, with a cacophony of rubbing, the fellow popped and spewed a mouthful of blood into the sky!
The blood in the dim darkness seemed to be particularly glaring.
It also broke the last tight string in everyone's hearts.
"Bastards, these damned aristocratic lackeys are finally showing their tails!" "Murderer, don't let him run!" "Murder, murder!"
...... The crowd was in an uproar. And then there were tons of rocks and wood chips!
"We're not slaves, we can't just be taken away by them!" "We must unite and fight these filthy lords and lackeys for our freedom!"
“...... Stop!everybody back!" Yulia also gave the order, but she was not blessed with the illusion, and the sound was faint from the sound of horses' hooves and the rubbing of armor around her.
Flutter!
A subtle grinding sound sounded in her ears, and the female paladin shook her head, not noticing, but soon she shook, and a kind of coldness diffused from her waist became piercing in an instant...... The woman's eyes widened in astonishment at the frightened gaze of Willian not far in front of her, and then, following the gaze, she lowered her head, and finally noticed a short piece of metal that stood around her waist, and something like a feather at the end......
