The Divine Hunter Chapter 19: 2The best of all!
Sheriff Lite looked at Mato who was being helped to sleep on the sofa, and turned to Visenna. What the witcher just said fell on deaf ears.
"Madam, I respect you, so I don't want to fool you with false reasons. Let's tell the truth. So what if Ainz committed a felony? The reality is that he is dead. There is not a lot of cheap supplies in the city. Refugees They will suffer from hunger, and the citizens of Mayena will be trapped in the dilemma of continuous rising prices."
"Convicting Ainz will not help either," Leeteuk said solemnly. "The mayor has been worried about this matter for a week and has been awake all night. It is impossible for him to believe in the so-called red light murder, even if you are talking about it Facts."
"So this is not a simple relationship between the murderer and the deceased, do you understand?"
"You mean, the mayor and the townspeople need a 'punching bag'?" Visenna's voice became cold, and her emerald green eyes were like poisonous snakes. "But even if you sacrifice innocent people, you can't solve the crisis in Mayena!"
"At least it can be delayed for a moment. So forgive me for my helplessness. Geralt and Yurga happened to hit the knife edge. This is the will of fate."
There was a brief silence in the office.
The woman's shoulders trembled slightly, her back straightened, her temperament changed from quiet and elegant to wild,
From a wise scholar-warlock to a heroic forest walker.
Looking straight at the Sheriff, like a female beast ready for revenge, she is brewing some plan.
"Lord Leete, is there actually a way to get the best of both worlds?" Roy broke the deadlock, raising his chin slightly, his voice full of confidence, "It will not only allow Mayena to get out of the current predicament, but also make Geralt And Yurga and Mato restored their innocent reputations, and the sinners were punished."
"Stop joking with me, Demon Hunter? Are you planning to hypnotize me with your juggling act just now?" A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Li Te's mouth. He was far less respectful to the Demon Hunter than he was to the ladies. .
"Don't you understand the essence of the matter, my lord?" Roy crossed his arms and glanced over the Sheriff's body with half-smiling eyes. The ridicule and teasing in it made Li Te extremely impatient, but Before he could explode, the witcher spoke again,
"Mayena cannot buy cheap supplies. What is the problem essentially? Lack of money! If there are sufficient funds, then all problems will be solved!"
"Who doesn't know how to talk nonsense?" Lite smiled disdainfully, "Do you think that the funding problem is as simple as the commission accepted by the demon hunter? You can just move your hands a few times and hold a funny monster head to collect the reward?"
"Is your brain full of muscles, 'my lord'," the witcher responded unceremoniously. He was fed up with this guy's eyes. Since he refused to eat the toast, "Your eyes are prejudiced." Are you blinded by anger?"
"You——"
"A ready opportunity is right in front of me," the witcher took a step forward and approached the Sheriff. His sharp eyes and stern momentum left him speechless.
Over the years as a sheriff, he has seen dozens of extremely vicious death row inmates, but none of them had such a terrifying aura.
He felt like he was being stared at by a beast as majestic as a mountain.
I couldn’t help but take a step back,
"How many crimes has Ainz committed in the past? And his net worth, all his wealth, came from crime." The demon hunter's eyes lit up red, "According to Mayena's laws, no , according to the laws of the entire north, what should be his fate?!"
Li Te's heart suddenly moved, his cheeks turned red, and his breathing became heavier.
“Search and confiscate your home!”
"Ainz, the honorary ambassador of Mayena, has made so much wealth by relying on this name, not to mention the money he has robbed from other businessmen in the past ten years. Since the outbreak of the war, he has made money by reselling materials. Wealth!"
"Use your brain, what a fortune these add up to! Get them," Roy paused, and the light illuminated his cold face, "At least, Mayena will not be short of money in the next few years! ”
Li Teuk swallowed.
He estimated that the honorary ambassador's net worth and huge wealth were at least more than 200,000 orens!
If looting, no! These are all ill-gotten gains and should be confiscated.
With this money, not only can it solve the mayor's urgent needs, but he can also benefit from it and lay a solid foundation for his future advancement!
"I'm such a fool!"
Honorary Ambassador has always been aloof.
In the past, he had taken action against the respected Ainz without sufficient reasons.
Now, with Mato's testimony and the evidence of Ainz's crimes, it is enough to strip him of his amulet of honor.
He is convinced that the mayor supports this idea 100%!
To **** with Ainz’s distant relative and heir who appeared out of nowhere!
Li Teuk clenched his fists, his face flushed with excitement and his whole body trembling.
When Visenna looked at the sharp-tongued and clear-thinking demon hunter, her heart dropped.
Geralt made a wise friend.
There is no need to take action myself.
"Understood, Lord Leete! Now, without further ado -" the witcher said in an almost commanding tone, "clear the names of Geralt, Yurga, and Mato, and tell the town The people expose Ainz's unjust crime! As for the evidence of his crime, it must be in his house! Understand? Besides, we have witnesses!"
"As for the real cause of Ainz's death... you are right. Attributing it to the red light is indeed too scary and can easily cause panic among the citizens. I have thought of a better explanation for you." Roy shook his head. Shaking his head, he buried the scene of Mato's spontaneous combustion deep in his mind.
He casually pointed at the huge **** wolf corpse still lying on the ground,
"Ainz went to the countryside to discuss business. On his way back, he was attacked by a pack of terrifying mutant wolves. He was bitten to death in the suburbs and eaten completely. As for the mutilated body, Sheriff, you will definitely be able to find it... Yurga, Matto, and Geralt only talk nonsense when they are too frightened."
"There is no red light at all!"
"Only wild beasts attack!"
"In this way...innocent people are released, criminals are punished as they deserve, Mayena alleviates the financial crisis, and refugees and townspeople are no longer troubled by prices and food!"
"Isn't this a happy experience for everyone?"
The heterochromatic pupils glanced at the Sheriff whose face was numb with shock.
A satisfied smile appeared on Roy's lips.
Vesenna, on the other hand, opened her mouth slightly, and her emerald green eyes looked at the witcher, flashing with surprise.
In more than two hundred years of life, I have never seen such a eloquent demon hunter.
This eloquence and wit simply confuse right and wrong.
No, he just reassigned a position to all the participants in the event.
The mutated wolf did indeed eat people, Ainz was riddled with sins, Yurga and his servants were frightened... and the little-known red light also played its role in cleaning up the sins.
Everything is appropriate and reasonable, as if they should be so, and the witcher's statement is the truth!
Li Teuk took a deep breath, suppressing his restless heart and the idea of taking immediate action, "Your Excellency, I admit that I underestimated you! This idea is very exciting!"
"Ainz has committed a heinous crime! I will report it to the mayor, confiscate his property, expose his ugly behavior to the people, and make him be despised by everyone!" He changed his words and stared at the demon hunter with his wide eyes. He asked in a cold voice, "Why do you have to release Geralt and Yurga? Why do you have such a bad attitude towards me? Why do you give me orders?"
Roy took a step closer to him again.
The young figure walked up to the bald man and smiled brightly at him. With white teeth and eyes as bright as stars, this smile is clean, comfortable and full of contagion.
Zhi Anguang was half a head taller than him, but he felt a huge pressure.
Suddenly, there were countless jumping scarlet lights radiating from behind the demon hunter.
It was like seaweed wrapped around his arms, thighs, neck, and chest.
It left him breathless, his cheeks turned purple, and his skin trembled with goosebumps.
Fear comes from the depths of the soul!
"Lord Lite, I'll give you the idea, and you let me go. This is a fair deal, in line with the principles of the witcher. I believe you won't let me down!"
"Otherwise, you will definitely pay the price!"
"An unaffordable price!"
After saying that, the witcher spread his hands and took a few steps back.
Wow!
The Sheriff put his hands on his knees and took a deep breath,
Unconsciously, the sweat soaked through my underwear, hair and beard all over my face.
He glanced at the demon hunter in awe, and a realization arose in his heart that he must not go against this guy.
He gave up all thoughts.
Visenna raised her slender eyebrows.
She just felt a familiar aura from Roy, and then shook her head.
It must be an illusion.
……
"You win, Witcher," after a full minute, the Sheriff stood up unsteadily, "Everything will be done as you said."
"I will release Geralt and Yurga now. ~IndoMTL.com~ Once we have clarified it to the people, you can take them away!"
He emphasized his tone on leaving.
Roy didn't take it seriously either.
"Don't worry, I don't want to come to Mayena again!"
……
Li Teuk immediately called the soldier outside the door and whispered a few words to him.
"Two, wait a moment, Yurga and Geralt will be here soon! I'll leave this place to you for now, I have to pay a visit to the mayor."
Visenna's face was filled with relief at first, then a look of confusion appeared on her face, and she clenched her fists.
"Lady, follow your heart."
"After all this, you still want to escape?"
After hearing what the witcher said, she took a deep breath, walked to the window sill, and looked out the window stiffly.
Leave your back to the witcher.
