Hunter of the Forbidden Region Chapter 797: Weird execution ground
"Forbidden Zone Hunter ()" to find the latest chapter!
The square in the center of Beishan Town is almost dusk.
The sun hangs on the western mountain beam. If it doesn't set, according to the local timekeeping method in Daxizhou, there will be about half an hour before the fire execution officially begins.
In fact, there is still a while, but the audience is already running out of water, and a large number of people watching torture have begun to gather.
There are actually two places to watch the punishment.
One is near the execution platform that has just been erected. At this moment, there are already three floors inside and three floors outside, and even the nearby rooftops are full of people.
It’s close here, and you can see clearly, but the environment for touring is not good, there are too many people, and it’s uncomfortable to be crowded together. This is a place for civilians to watch the excitement.
The "accommodation seat" of the real aristocracy must be the place where Lin Shuo is currently staying, on the top of the wall of Beishan Castle.
Although it is a bit far away, you can see clearly, and the surrounding scenery is good, drinks and refreshments are available, and there are high-end companions.
Lin Shuo and Nemeya waited here shortly after lunch.
One is to wait for the people below to start burning, and the other is to wait for the companions who are watching the punishment together.
There are several groups of companions. First of all, Mr. Zhengshi of the mission, Miao Chengyun.
Mr. Miao has been busy with official business lately and slept relatively late. Generally, he would not get up until dinner.
This is especially true today, because these are the last two days, and he has to have fun.
So Master Miao is the closest to the top of the inner city wall in terms of distance, but is the latest in time.
The second group of companions, those are Nemeya's cabinet members and confidantes.
In Daxizhou, there are five cabinet members in a normal principality: religious priests, military commanders, diplomatic hands, ministers of the interior, and intelligence chiefs.
Except for the religious priests appointed by the Imperial Temple, the other cabinet members are often served by the more powerful earl lords in the duchy. Entering the cabinet itself is a political bargaining chip that can be used by the duke to win over people's hearts.
But the Duchy of Mia is not the norm at this time. The old duke died a year ago, and the inheritance process of the entire duchy has not been completed yet.
So Nemeya's cabinet is mainly the team led by his own earl. The religious sacrifice to Amphitrite was assigned by the empire. The military commander was originally Hercules. This time, it was Lun. The two were taken care of by Lin Shuo, because both of them were masters with Tier 9 combat power.
The other three cabinets are almost too close, regardless of their ability on weekdays, at least their cultivation level is not high, the level of rank seven or eight.
Two of the cabinet are worth noting, and among Nemeya’s confidants, three others should not be underestimated.
These three are all elite fighters in the hands of Nemeya, and they are all Tier Nine, and they are only one step away from the titled master.
These people are strong and weak. There are about twenty people. They belong to the top of the city wall. There are seats. They are located relatively behind and blocked by the crevices of the city wall. The fire is actually invisible. of.
The really good location, like Lin Shuo, is not far from the fortress of the city wall, and you can see the execution ground directly when you look down, except for the two representatives of the mission, Lin Shuo and Miao Chengyun. Besides Nemeya himself, it is also the last group of guests tonight.
"Earl Xilan leads, Earl Garcia is here!!!"
"Earl Nanling, Countess Zofia is here!!!"
"Earl Barron leads, Earl Enzo is here!!!"
"Lord Thornhill, Earl Picea is here!!!"
……
As the earl lords of the Mia Principality arrived one by one, Lin Shuo was actually introspecting inwardly at this moment.
Children, have to be born, but not too many.
This old Duke of Mia, with seventeen children in this life, no matter how old he is, it is not enough to divide his family business.
I still have prenatal and postnatal care. I now have four children, which is almost enough.
Otherwise, you can learn from the past. Look at this house, it's messy now.
The eldest sister was about to be burned to death in public. The younger brothers and sisters were observing in a group, and then each had a ghost.
These earls, Lin Shuo had already met each other a while ago, and they also had some exchanges.
Of course, this kind of thing is called a strong dragon difficult to crush a local snake, even if Lin Shuo used the banner of the empire's deputy envoy, he could not immediately force them to express their views.
Everyone said that they would consider it. As for how they are considering now, Lin Shuo doesn't know, and it is estimated that they themselves have no idea right now.
In the final analysis, it still depends on what happened to the scene. Everyone is sitting on the fence.
……
When the seats on the wall were almost full, Miao Chengyun dragged his shoes up and yawned.
Adult Zhengshi next to Lin Shuo took a seat, and Master Miao whispered in the Huaxia Jiangnan dialect: "Things are not right."
Miao Chengyun grew up in North America, but he is a genius in terms of language. He not only masters eight foreign languages, but also has a lot of Chinese dialects from the South to the North.
Of course, his soft words from Wu Nong are not so authentic in the ears of Lin Shuo from Jiangnan, but it is enough as a codeword for direct communication between the two at this time, at least others here do not understand it.
In fact, Nemeya was chatting with his younger siblings at the moment, and he was not paying attention to them.
Lin Shuo looked as usual and asked: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing is right." Miao Chengyun's expression was relaxed, as if he was squirming, "Old Wei I told him to withdraw at that point, but this kid hasn't withdrawn so far. It seems that he can't withdraw.
Not only was he unable to withdraw, but Yang Baokun, who went to deliver the letter, seemed to be unable to return there anymore.
Besides, you should have detected it without me reminding you. Right now, under our feet, in the dark room of the city wall, there is a master hidden.
The spirit is condensed and the blood is strong. We don't know who this person is, but the strength should not be below you and me.
Su Dongdong wants to guard the city wall stairs to prevent the elite fighters from coming up. The two clubs of Pang Weiser and Don Kede could not be counted on, let alone they are now in the execution ground.
So no one is staring at the person under our **** right now, so I have to come personally.
That means that you alone have to deal with everyone on top of the wall.
Then, you look at the current execution ground. "
The characters who appeared on the top of the city wall just now were one after another, and Lin Shuo's attention was focused on them.
For the time being, Lin Shuo didn't pay attention to what was going on in the execution ground below.
Furthermore, the sky gradually dimmed after being so far away. Lin Shuo's eyesight was affected because he had prepared lessons under a kerosene lamp in his early years, so now it is about the same level as the average person.
When you look at the execution ground at this distance and light conditions, you can only look at it roughly.
He vaguely saw that on the stake, the burning pillar was standing up, but the firewood hadn't been piled up yet.
Beside the stake, there was a table with a white tablecloth on the table, and a candle was lit in the middle of the tablecloth.
At both ends of the table, there is a man and a woman sitting opposite each other while having a meal.
The meal is not bad, the fine half-cooked grain-fed tomahawk steak with red wine.
What is it? Lin Shuo can smell it with his nose, but Lin Shuo can't see clearly the faces of these two people at the moment. He can only confirm that the woman is Artemis.
As for who the man is, it's not hard to guess.
This scene is very weird.
It seemed that people were going to be burned, but at this moment, the victim and the executioner were having dinner together.
"The rules of this Daxizhou are still different from elsewhere." Miao Chengyun said, "In the past, before the death of the convict in China, a full meal would be arranged in the cell.
However, there are fewer people who really eat, and they generally have no appetite, so they just take a form.
But you can see that the two of them are just like a young couple having a meal in a restaurant. Is this style a bit wrong? "
Of course Lin Shuo is aware of the problem that Miao Chengyun pointed out at this moment.
In fact, when things are approaching, the most fearful thing is that this happens.
It's the situation at the time, I don't understand it.
If you don’t understand it, you can’t extract effective information, and you can’t make effective judgments based on on-the-spot information. If you are in a dangerous situation, it is often dead.
In terms of nature, Lin Shuo is not good at this matter today, and he has done his best to get here.
He has done everything he can, but so far, some of the original ideas have not been realized.
For example, evidence to overturn Artemis' crimes, he didn't find it.
The reason for not finding is that Lin Shuo has stayed in modern society for a long time and is accustomed to the existence of the modern judicial system, so he takes the legal system of the Tianlan Empire too high.
As a result, he later learned that there is no judicial system in the Tianlan Empire, and it is very casual to convict a person.
Don’t talk about evidence, don’t talk about legal principles, and rely solely on the persistence of "God".
How the "God" will come, fortune telling.
Fortune telling can cheat, so it is technically simple to slander a person as guilty.
The unacceptable crime of Artemis is actually not because her behavior was really caught by someone, but because she didn't master the temple in advance.
The priest of the Principality of Mia, Amphitrite, slept on the same bed with Nemeya. The two wanted to work together to deal with her. Of course she had no chance.
So if you want to overthrow Artemis’ crimes, you don’t need to talk about evidence, you just need to make the necessary situation and force Anfitrit to overthrow the results of the previous divination.
Things have actually been simplified, but the problem is that Lin Shuo can't understand this situation.
These so-called masters on the wall, Lin Shuo didn't pay attention to them.
Lin Shuo paid attention to the person hiding under the city wall, but he believed that Miao Chengyun could stop him.
But he didn't quite understand the situation on the execution ground.
A man and a woman are eating quietly together. Is this a ritual for the executioner Tu Liang to "cut his head" before he does it, or the situation there, which has completely deviated from his previous assumptions.
In Lin Shuo's previous thoughts, the executioner was a relatively unimportant person, nothing more than a tool of murder, as long as he cut off the hand holding the tool, then the executioner itself would not be a threat.
And just this afternoon, he learned about the more unique customs of executioners here, and also learned that the executioner today is the famous "decapitator" Tu Liang in the industry.
The situation is different. Tu Liang's role in this matter is actually very similar to that of his own group. They are all people who took over the business.
After accepting the transaction, there will be a problem~IndoMTL.com~ that is, traders have a rigid demand for the payment of remuneration.
Who is responsible for paying the remuneration, the sponsor.
Tu Liang, who is the owner of this transaction, Nemeya.
So as long as Wei Xingshan kills Nemeya with a single shot, he will inevitably be retaliated by Tu Liang.
This is also the practice of hunting door trading. If the gold owner is killed during the transaction, then as a hunter, you have to avenge the gold owner, and then take the killer’s head to find the gold owner’s heir, so that the gold owner’s successor talent Will pay the rewards.
Lin Shuo and Miao Chengyun got this information, and they also considered this level. Miao Chengyun knew that Lin Shuo was dragged by Nemoya and could not give an order, so he directly ordered it and asked Wei Xingshan to withdraw it. Come.
With Wei Xingshan's ability, it is not difficult to kill Nemea with a single shot, but he certainly cannot resist the revenge of the two-character title master Tu Liang.
As a result, Wei Xingshan didn't withdraw it for some reason, and even Yang Baokun, who went to report the letter, didn't come back.
So so far, Lin Shuo's understanding of the situation is, can Yang Baokun stop Tu Liang?
But looking at the situation on the execution ground again, it doesn't seem to be right.
What's wrong, Lin Shuo doesn't know right now.
Fortunately, soon, a gust of wind came, and the scent information entered his nose, and he knew it.
So he glanced at Miao Chengyun and warned: "The man in the execution ground is not Tu Liang."
"Huh? Why?" Miao Chengyun asked directly.
"The smell of executioners is different from ordinary people." Lin Shuo said, "The man on the execution ground does not smell of blood."
"Who is he?"
"Who he is is not important to you, because he is not in your control." Lin Shuo said, "The person you want to stare at is downstairs."
"What do you mean?"
"This person downstairs is Tu Liang."
