Chapter 1413: Promoting Justice?
He didn't react for a moment ?!! the stunned Xiandale said: He is the duke who was assassinated? Why is he here? It wasn't until Dong Hezi said the second paragraph that he figured out the situation a little: "The Duke of Van Duolun is here, so he came here to hide his identity." Who knew that there was some chaos, and he was targeted again. Now that the matter has been settled, we are talking about Rafina and their situation, don't you really want to know about Rafina? Rafina is at his house, you can ask him. β
Xiandale was a little at a loss, because this Duke of Van Doren was a duke with heavy troops, and he was extremely powerful in the country, and the Sun King was also more polite to him, and he had heard of it when he was in the royal capital. Unexpectedly, they met in this strange situation, and they were wearing the robes of merchants who were going to be hunted. It's really ~~~~ too upside down and confused. And the soldiers under him are extremely fierce, and they have seen it just now.
"They're pretty good. The Duke of Van Doren, dressed as a merchant opposite, was very approachable, not at all like the black boss: "I often mention you when we drink tea together, saying that you study hard and have extraordinary skills." When I saw it today, it was really extraordinary, and she was still a polite and beautiful girl. No wonder my daughter talks about you a lot. β
Xiandale nodded with a smile a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but ask a few words: "Sister Rafina is really okay? where do they live now? Is that little girl crying?" After receiving the duke's smile answer, he was relieved, and wanted to leave this place instead: "I'll go and let someone prepare some wine and food." β
When he turned around, he couldn't help but ask Dong Hezi, "When are we going to leave to join Sister Rafina and the others?" but Dong Hezi replied, "We have to wait a few days, and we still have to do something here." "Before Xendale asks what's going on. The Duke of Van Doren next to him had already spoken: "Are you waiting for the Emerald Star to come?"
This time, Dong Hezi was really taken aback: "How do you know?" Seeing the other party, he smiled and said, "Because I came this time, I also want to wait for it to come!" As soon as these words came out, not only Dong Hezi and Xian Dale were stunned, but even Bonuk next to him began to give a look: He is going to rob the Jade Star, how can you help that Jade Star mage?
Looking at the surprised Dong Hezi and the others, he smiled: "Don't be nervous, I'm not going to become some immortal Jade Star Master." I don't need a large amount, just half a pound of Emerald Star Fragments to make solid yΓ n material. Actually, I'm weird - you don't look like you're making yourself a greenstone. And if you become that kind of living stone, you lose a lot of emotion. It's boring. β
Dong Hezi was a little relieved: "I'm helping others." You're going to do big things. The other party smiled and motioned for Dong Hezi to let the others stand down, and then raised his hand and waved out the light purple magic light of the 'Mage Secret Room' to cover the whole room, and then said: "It's really a big dealβwhether it's arcane or magical." It's all about the caster preparing materials or sacrifices. Then borrow from the magic web or the gods. Spellcasting materials are mostly expensive. The sacrifices are also expensive, and they are all from people who have worked hard to cultivate, mine, fish, hunt, and gather. It can be said that only one person can cast a spell after a thousand people work hard. It costs a lot of money to get it~~~"
Most of the income is not beneficial to the people's productive activities. Most of them are conducive to the pastime or strife of the upper classes of society.
"If the manpower is limited, the output is limited, and the spell casting materials in exchange are limited, and the spells are limited. "I have limited labor and resources, and I have many enemies to face. This has been a dilemma for me for a long time. If you want to increase the magic armament of my army, you will have to oppress the people under my rule and make their lives more difficult. It's a real dilemma. It would be much better if you could create a 'magic whirlpool' like some dungeons, and automatically get a lot of spells from heaven and earth on a regular basis. β
The Magic Spiral Nest is an arcane magic active area, where a special high-level super-large magic array is used to connect to the magic net or some magically active planes, and continuously extract energy from it. But it is very cumbersome and expensive to make. It is said that some of the more advanced castles in the sky or the Lost Castle have even more special devices that can draw a huge amount of energy directly from the magic net or special plane to support these flying castles or magical cities. But builders are even rarer.
"I don't have a magically active zone under my rule. The Duke of Van Doren let the magic ring in his hand project a complex phantom of the magic tower on the top of the mountain and the magic array structure inside: "But there are many high mountains under my rule, with continuous clouds and mist, and constant lightning. If lightning can also be converted into magic energy that can be harnessed, then everyone's life will be much better. β
Dong Hezi didn't answer, because he recognized that the magic circle in the illusion was familiar, and some parts resembled the huge magic circle that the Green Dragon Duke had hidden in the city. Considering that the Duke of Green Dragon is also a master of spells who is proficient in the elements, the two may have some connection in secret. There are also some peculiar parts, such as a large pool-shaped section, where light and shadow effects similar to summoning doors are churning.
"There is the Elemental Pool, the Qi Elemental, connected to the power of the Qi Elemental Plane. The Duke of Van Duolun actually did not hide it, but generously informed: "Although it can stabilize the dΓ¬ng storage zΓ i, it cannot provide us with a steady stream of energy, and can only summon the elemental prophet to guide us." It also serves as a secondary management area for the Magic Tower. β
Dong Hezi said cautiously: "So what role does the Emerald Star play in it? is it a component of the energy converter? or is it a component of the energy channeling device?" According to the prophecies of the Elemental Prophets, there are several materials to choose from, but all of them are very rare. This Emerald Star is available in the near future. Rest assured, only half a pound is needed. Because it's just a widget. β
Dong Hezi nodded: "Within a week, the Emerald Star will come!"
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
For three days, the night sky was full of stars, and occasionally wisps of red or yellow colors appeared from the southeast, but they disappeared in an instant. Dong Hezi, who was in the tall tower, observed this phenomenon and began his own divination, while the Duke of Van Duolun next to him took out a small bowl-shaped silver magic vessel and polished the circle of magic runes on it. A small whistling whirlpool rapids emerge from the bowl and a half-humanoid Prophet of the Elemental Qi emerges.
The human-like prophet pointed to the southeast direction, his eyes were 'Higher Exploration' and his ears were 'Legends', his mouth was filled with the burning aura of 'Item Positioning Technique', and he still had 'Spiritual Vision' in his hand ready to go, and all kinds of magic were used in one go, and then the information of the Emerald Star was revealed with an intermittent wind.
But the information obtained by the two of them was very scattered, and when the two of them finished divination, gathered the information, and argued about the exact fall and where it was, they heard a loud familiar voice outside the big window: "Something big has happened in the city." You two still have the heart to rub around here?"
It was a burly mage of Buseco floating out of the window.
When the Duke of Van Doren here said confidently: "The knowledge of the rebellion against the assassination of the general in this city." According to the Emergency Mobilization Act, I have taken over the city, and now I am the provisional governor! Buseco, who floated in the air, replied, "It's because you're the provisional governor." So you're in big trouble - two of your soldiers teenage girls. This matter has been stabbed to the royal capital, and the storm in half the city, public opinion is very strong. There was fierce criticism in various publications. β
Duke Van Duolun just sneered: "Half of the media in the royal capital have been pulled out and cut down for treason, and they will not be wronged at all! There will be a bunch of remnants left! I knew that they might take advantage of this to make a living, so after the incident the day before yesterday, I sent those two to the military court, and they will be severely sentenced to death in the near future." Let's see what else they can say!" but saw Busaiko floating in shaking his head and waving his hand: "You think too simply, someone has already taken the woman's mother to the royal capital and asked her to complain at the door of the Supreme Court." Look for yourself what she complained. Then he handed a copy of the royal capital to the Duke of Van Doron.
"I want to sentence the other three to death??!" The duke was surprised: "These three people are all officials of the city, although they instigated my soldiers to get the woman, but ~~~ It is impossible to sentence them to death according to the law." Duke Van Duolun frowned and thought back and forth, and his expression became more and more solemn: "What's more, they are officials, not sergeants, and they are not under my jurisdiction." If I insist that I kill the three of them too, then ~~~"
"Bastard!!" The duke, who had always been calm, suddenly burst into a rage: "I use this assassination to force the bureaucrats of this city to cooperate with me and form a temporary alliance against those rich gentry. Now they want me to kill those three officials, so that my alliance will ~~~ Hmph! These rich gentry will really instigate the people and the media, and they will dismantle my alliance so soon. What a sinister poisonous scheme!!"
The burly Buseco, who floated to the ground, said: "You haven't read other publications, and many readers have replied that they should be killed. Support the killing of all officials. There are also people who have already made a statement in front of the Sun King that they will make this case the first anti-corruption and anti-bureaucracy case this year, and use the second case to demonstrate His Majesty's determination to fight corruption. Some people even launched a signature campaign to support strong mothers and promote social justice, portraying their family as a persecuted and suffering home, which resonated with many citizens. The noise is getting louder and louder. β
"Won't killing two people raise their justice?!" Duke Van Duolun said angrily: "For the sake of a strong woman, you will kill five people in a row." Is there a more absurd 'demand for justice' in the world? Is it that if a human life is born, the murderer will be punished to the nine tribes? Is it just such an excessive 'social justice'? This kind of demand is the most typical tyrannical injustice! Who does she think her girl is? Is it made of gold?"
"What's the use of being angry with her?" said Buseco, "she's just a pawn who has been used voluntarily, and of course she has to make trouble everywhere when she gets a benefit." But you are also negligent, you should give them more money as soon as something happens, so as not to let them ~~" But the annoyed Duke of Van Duolun hurriedly interjected: "Give it! I gave them fifty gold coins as soon as I had an accident, and promised to give them more compensation in the future." β
"But the publications say that you didn't pay compensation, and they begged and didn't get the compensation they deserved. This time, the Duke of Van Doren's sapphire-like eyes already showed a murderous light: "She farts!! A woman full of lies! She deliberately cooperated with others to make trouble for me when she saw that she was making a lot of money! And those pens, I said a long time ago, pull out half of them and kill them, and they are not wronged! Go, go back and set up the arrangements, I can't let them ruin my affairs!"
