Chapter 646 Respect Fruit
In fact, there was an unexpected surprise.
The city has a towering wall with cleverly designed structures that are remnants of a long time ago.
And Adorei can be a capable liar, once again showing his knowledge reserve in this regard.
"More than a century ago, Ogaxia Pass belonged to the Yexiang Kingdom, and the border of the Sunrise Kingdom had not yet extended far. This city was a frontier fortress at that time, so high walls were built to resist foreign enemies. But as times changed, the Sunrise Kingdom became increasingly powerful, and the Night Country was retreating steadily. After the national borders expanded, although the city lost its function as a frontier military stronghold to a certain extent, the former high wall also served as a memorial and landmark. Legacy.”
Looking at the city wall in the distance, Adore couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his tone of introduction.
Many historical relics are always so touching after seeing them.
It's a pity that he also had a dream when he was young, and now he is a liar that everyone hates... Oh no, now he is the wizard master's lackey.
He quickly came out of his emotions and reminded: "Master, we are close to the border. After all, this is also a former frontier city. The defense should not be weak, but you still have to be careful."
Sha Qiu nodded as a response, but still walked boldly towards the city.
Adore knew a little bit about this master's temper, so he had no choice but to follow him with his bag.
As soon as I came over, before anything else happened, I saw a person tied to a tall log in front of me, and people gathered around it. Then a soldier seemed to be announcing something to the people around him.
The two curiously gathered together to eat the melon.
This is not the first time I have seen this kind of execution scene along the way.
The "Wizards of Night Village" captured during witch hunting operations will be sentenced to death after interrogation. In order to appease the people and enhance their self-confidence, they often choose to execute people in public.
At this time, it is a bit imitating the traditional meaning, and adopts one of the classics of burning at the stake.
The person tied to the stake at this time was a tall, middle-aged man with a dirty look.
"Everyone, today, another evil wizard lurking around us has been exposed for his evil deeds. First of all, let us thank the enthusiastic Demeke family on Nemesis Street for discovering the whereabouts of this wizard."
"It is reported that this wizard sneaked into Mr. Meyer's house on Nemesis Street a week ago, which is also the neighbor of the Demeke family." The soldier continued to announce.
Some residents living on that street became agitated after hearing this.
"Mr. Meyer is dead!"
"It was him who caused it!"
"It must be him!"
"Damn Ye Xiangren, damn wizard! Burn him to death!"
The soldier raised his hand to calm the anger of the people, and then continued: "Yes, according to the investigation, it is very possible that this wizard committed a major crime against Meier in order to hide in Meier's home! He even took away Meier's life. My life! Meyer was a forty-six-year-old single man, well, taciturn, but a good citizen. It's heartbreaking that such a man should be so brutalized."
"After the interrogation, the wizard withstood the severe torture and remained silent. The day of judgment is approaching, so we chose to burn the wizard today."
As soon as the words fell, shouts suddenly sounded around. Most people were thanking the Sunrise Soldiers for their bright actions, and some were thanking the Demeke family for the whistleblower. Naturally, there were also voices cursing the man at close range and telling him to go to hell.
Under such circumstances, the man seemed a little dazed.
Then, he raised his head and seemed to finally wake up, looking at the surrounding situation with some confusion.
Afterwards, he realized something and wanted to shout something, but he was stunned, as if he didn't know what to say. In the end, he just lowered his head in silence.
Adore stayed a little away from the enthusiastic crowd around him and curled his lips with some disdain.
He is not bad at thinking and understands the purpose of the new witch hunt, but he is still somewhat resistant to the social influence and social atmosphere brought about by this level of publicity.
"So most people are so easy to deceive..." He muttered with the wrinkles on his face condensing.
"Analyze it." Sha Qiu looked at him with interest and said.
Although the fanatical atmosphere brought about by the new witch hunting operation did bring huge trouble to the remnants of the infiltrated party in Night Village, many unlucky infiltrators were captured during this period.
But being so fanatical naturally has its pros and cons.
When people act based on external indicators and completely abandon their own brains, some disasters can easily occur.
For example, unjust, false and wrongful convictions occur in the current environment.
Amid the wave of witch-hunting operations, public prosecutions occurred frequently. Officials had to deal with countless cases every day. Over time, with limited manpower and energy, there would always be errors in the handling.
There is no time, and the people outside are looking forward to the results as soon as possible. If you don't give them a response early, do you want to be denounced by them and become an incompetent person who needs to be eliminated in a prosperous social environment?
The frequency of unjust, false and wrongful convictions has naturally increased.
Along the way, Shaqiu and Adore witnessed many executions. There were real Nightside infiltrators, but there were also simple Nightside immigrants, and there were even more guilty people who were not sentenced to death, or people who were completely innocent but could not defend themselves against outside accusations.
None of this matters.
Because they will all be burned in the end.
Adore could easily tell whether most people were real or fake.
"He is not from Yexiang, and his facial features do not match. He looks a bit like a more southern ethnic group. The injuries on his body have shown that he has been tortured. Although I don't know any wizards and witchcraft, I know the techniques of disguise. , which can rule out the possibility of disguise. His expression just now showed confusion about the current situation. I think he wanted to defend himself, but for some unknown reason, he gave up. Perhaps he understood that no amount of words would be worthless in the face of this situation."
After a pause, Adore sighed: "Another poor man, he is not a wizard."
"No, he is indeed a wizard." Sha Qiu said suddenly.
Adore looked at the dune in astonishment.
Shaqiu smiled and said: "You were right in what you said before, but you were wrong in the end. He is indeed a wizard."
"Wizard..." Adore shook his head, he didn't understand.
"But he is not from Ye Xiang, and he must have nothing to do with Ye Xiang." Sha Qiu took Adore away and then turned into an alley.
Opening a package in Adore's hand.
This package is used as a disguise, and it is somewhat contradictory for the traveler to not carry any package.
After opening it, it was completely dark inside, and then I used my ability in the shadow world to touch random things.
This is Wan Yi’s fourth-dimensional pocket.
Adore looked at Dune and took out the iconic costume of the remnants of Night Country.
This was caused after they actually encountered a group of remnants of the old Night Village emperor on their journey, killing people and collecting corpses.
Adore was still wondering why the wizard wanted these dirty and worn clothes, but now he couldn't help but fell silent after seeing Sand Dune put them on.
"Are we going to save him?" He didn't ask why he was wearing the clothes, but about the operation.
He had seen many innocent people before, but the wizard looked at them and ignored them. However, this time the wizard chose to save them, which was somewhat inconsistent with his impression of the wizard during this period.
He felt that the wizard master was indeed evil, cold-blooded, rude to everyone, and did not take life seriously. However, he was very kind to the person who attacked him. At least he never threatened his life again.
Anyway, he is definitely not a good person who will see injustice on the road.
"I know that wizard, and I'm a little curious about his situation." Sha Qiu said casually.
The man just now was the man who entered the "Withered Leaves" boundary zone at about the same time as him.
Although I felt quite weak at the time, there were still a few people who had undergone a qualitative change. How could they not even be able to beat the level of this world and be easily captured or even tortured to extract a confession?
Moreover, just after getting closer, the sand dune discovered some clues.
That person has a relatively active spirit and willpower, and there are traces of witchcraft in his body!
So Dune is not bluffing, that person is really a wizard!
Anyway, there must be a qualitative change in the direction of spells, witchcraft, etc., and then there is a certain degree of systematic learning. It is very similar to the system that Red gave to the supervisor. It is basically a qualitative change from this world.
Combined with the fact that the man broke into the "withered red" boundary zone alone at this awkward time, Shaqiu felt that there must be some clues about this man.
Therefore, we must save.
I've always been regarded as the wizard of Night Village, now let's really do it for once.
"What are you doing? Why aren't you wearing it yet?" After he had put it on, he turned around and found that Adore was still in a daze.
Hearing Sha Qiu's words, Adore was even more stunned: "Do I want to wear it too?"
"We are in the same team. Does the magician need an assistant? How can the wizard not have one?"
Adore was flattered, although the logic sounded strange, and he didn't want this "favour" at all.
But that was the case, and he put on his costume without tears.
Because of my small body, none of these clothes fit me, which made me look even more embarrassed.
"Here." Then Dune handed Adore a weapon with an orange scent.
It's an orange knife.
It looks like an orange segment with an emerald green stem as the handle. Because the orange segment is a complete semicircle, the knife looks like a large kitchen knife.
"..." Adore had nothing to say.
This seems to be the weapon of that silly orange man in the story told by the old man on the carriage.
At that time, he was still complaining in his mind about why the fruit would use his own body as a weapon. The image of digging a piece of his own body into a weapon was very abstract.
And now I find out that the master actually has this kind of weapon.
It has the beauty of a child's whimsical drawing.
Looking to the side, the master did not take out the banana's signature weapon in the story - the banana lance - because as mentioned before, the banana is a dart, the pulp is edible, and the skin is used as a boomerang. Thinking of this, Riadore glanced at his orange knife and wondered if this could be eaten.
But he turned his attention to the wizard master again, and saw that the weapon the master took out was a pineapple turtle.
Turtle-shaped pineapple, pineapple-shaped turtle.
Then the pineapple turtle's tail is tied to a green chain.
Yes.
This is a "Pineapple Turtle Meteor".
There is no problem in separating the three words.
It's a bit mind-boggling when put together.
