318. Noon has arrived

The raven rested lightly on the crown.

It lowered its head and pecked at the ruby set in the edge of the crown.

Then it lowered its head and stared at the gem.

Click.

Cracks spread out from the middle of the stone.

The transparent and clear ruby splits into countless mirrors.

The raven's large, curious eyes also turned into a myriad, staring at the world from all directions.

As if bored, it flapped its wings lightly and returned to the sky, soaring under the sun.

It's morning.

The empty streets began to have scattered figures.

The raven takes everything in his eyes.

Most of them were expressionless, as if there was nothing in this world to care about, and the only reason why they left the house and went out into the street was because the vast majority of people did.

In the center of the city, around the palace, the faces of the people here were filled with happy smiles, as if they were about to go to a grand celebration, and what awaited them ahead was not the death of the maiden, but the joy of singing and wine.

Approaching the edge of the city, they had different expressions, some with expectation, some with relief, some with gloomy faces, some with sadness, and some with a calm face, no one could read their thoughts.

Raven takes everything to heart.

Two more guys blended in in with the crowd.

Although there were still many people standing behind them, they were the only two of them who would join the grand drama today.

Excellent actors.

The actors on the other side have all arrived.

Wait a minute.

The raven turned its head a hundred and twenty degrees and looked into the distance.

...... the results over there?

Ravens can't see anything.

It turned its small head back and refocused on the city.

Fujin shook his feathers.

In the midst of the crowd.

Hola transforms into an ordinary middle-aged man, moving with the crowd.

Today is the day of Pelores' hanging.

They were all heading to First Square.

The number of people going out today is not much compared to the residents of the whole city, less than 20,000, but for the square, the number of people is a bit excessive.

Those who lived closer to the center of the city reached the square earlier, on the contrary, the second group arrived in the center of the city, while those who lived close to the city walls were rarely able to squeeze into the center of the square, and could only watch Pelores' departure from the edge of the square, or even further down the street.

When the struggling body completely stops, there will be some people who were expecting the rebels to extinguish the fire in their hearts.

The square can probably accommodate about 8,000 people, but it is not impossible to squeeze 10,000.

When Hola walked into the spacious square, it was not yet filled.

She glanced over and saw that many chairs and tables had fallen to the floor.

Once upon a time, it served as a bazaar, where people exchanged things, and the King of Hearts would come here from time to time, laughing and buying what he liked several times the price, and all the people would welcome the wise monarch who brought them peace and happiness with a sincere smile, while verbally greeting the Queen of Hearts, who was studying magic in the palace.

Now all that remains is a mess, and the rebel leader of the rebel army, the old K of hearts, has been ambushed.

Hara stepped into it as if she belonged here.

The person she is now transformed from the merchant who used to sell fruit here and the rebel spy in the city.

Now it's just a matter of waiting, and the Boss of Spades is also dressed up in disguise and is waiting for Peloris to appear not far from the gallows.

A sea of people.

But there was silence.

Hora slowly moved forward in the crowd.

It travels in solids like a liquid.

It's noon.

Click, click, click.

Distant, but clear.

The Duke of Spades' steel boots collide with the ground.

He walked up to the gallows.

Bursts of crisp laughter rang out.

"The Empress's people.

"Today is a day to celebrate.

"We have captured an important member of the rebels, the evil green dragon Peloris, she slaughtered a large number of innocent poker kingdom soldiers, and sabotaged our righteous plan to deal with the rebels again and again, lawless, bloodthirsty, cunning and cunning, and the most heinous crimes!"

There was a slight uproar in the crowd.

The Duke of Spades raised a hand:

"But!"

The crowd slowly calmed down.

"Even today, this evil rebel member will no longer be able to harm our valiant warriors, and we will no longer have to worry about the evil green dragon storming our homes, snatching our children and taking our property.

"O people of the Empress, this evil dragon is going to die here today!"

The Duke of Spades almost shouted this sentence.

High-pitched, shrill laughter echoed through the square.

The Boss of Spades said neatly:

"Bring the prisoner in. ”

A group of people pushed a metal cage towards the gallows.

Peloris stood in the middle of the cage in embarrassment, looking at the citizens in front of the audience with stubborn eyes.

The girl's whole body was covered with metal torture instruments, not only her arms and legs were immobilized, but the palms and soles of her feet were controlled by strange metal devices, and even her mouth had a metal muzzle.

All instruments of torture have glowing magical runes on their surfaces.

It's as if they were afraid that Peloris would spew out an evil mist that would corrupt flesh.

Hora looked at Peloris and found that her aura was much darker, and she didn't know what she had been through.

But fortunately, she was finally able to confirm that Peloris was her.

As a shapeshifter, she can see through it at a glance unless there is a legend herself disguised as Peloris.

Even legends who are not good at disguise can be distinguished.

The cage stopped beside the Duke of Spades.

The Duke of Spades personally took out the key and unlocked the cage.

Dozens of runes flickered around the cage for a split second.

Duke of Spades says:

"Please, do you want me to push you out myself?"

Peloris stared at the Duke of Spades for a moment, then struggled forward, confined by the shackles and metal devices.

And directly in front of her, the noose of the gallows emanated with a magical aura.

All eyes were on Pelores.

Hara looked around, discerning where she might be attacked.

Hervin hasn't arrived yet.

This is not normal.

Hara had barely seen anyone stop Hervin, what had happened to him?

Hola shook her head, now was not the time to worry about Hervin.

Peloris was already standing in front of the noose.

The Duke of Spades said very gentlemanly:

"Miss Green Dragon, please lift your chin. ”

Peloris snorted.

The girl lifted her chin without fear and looked straight ahead with a cold gaze, as if she had seen through death.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Hora always feels that Peloris is looking at her.
