() The abnormal phenomenon plunged everyone into a strange atmosphere. Only the magician who had been causing trouble since the moment he appeared on the scene kept asking loudly around him: "Who spoke just now? Please finish your words and make it clear."
He didn't realize at all that those 'companions' hiding in the crowd had disappeared.
Maybe Midland is not like Earth, where judges need sufficient scientific evidence to decide a crime and sentence; but in Midland, to determine a person's crime and sentence, they also need the most basic human and material evidence, although they don't care much about whether the evidence is sufficient.
Physical evidence, perhaps a dead body, perhaps blood stains or clothing left by an injured person. These things can be traced back to their source using prophetic magic and see the part that the mages want to see. Witness testimony, of course, is the testimony witnessed by the party or witness.
And this magician who jumped out, shirtless, and wanted to put a hat on someone's head, could not get any evidence to accuse someone of anything. Even if he grabbed the onlookers by their collars and asked them what they saw, the strange situation now made people unwilling or afraid to say anything.
After hitting a wall several times, even he himself felt something was wrong. The atmosphere here was unlike anywhere he had ever seen. If the other party uses violent means, unless they are extremely cruel, there will always be people who think they are not afraid of authority. They will be intimidated by those violent means and become supporters of the other party in order to resist.
But the weird methods don't need to be accompanied by too much blood. The fear of the unknown will make most people hesitate to move forward. People are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of dying inexplicably and worthlessly.
Seeing that it was no longer possible to mobilize the crowd, conclude the matter, or even kill the target on the spot, the man decided to use a backup plan. He said:
"In any case, we heard criminal rumors related to you. So you should come with us to the inspector's headquarters and do the necessary investigations and inquiries." After saying that, he turned to his accomplice, who was also not a supervisor. The official magician said: "Come on, take this person back."
How could people who have watched a lot of various film and television works, long and short stories not understand this routine? Once you enter the public gate, it is as deep as the sea. After entering stupidly, you are not allowed to round or flatten it at will. At that time, in the name of accident, we will tell the outside world: Unfortunately, people died inside. Even the time of trial can be saved. This is the best means of killing with public power.
So someone still has to struggle. "Hey, you don't have the qualifications of a prosecutor, right? Can you arrest people directly?"
"We are volunteers who are voluntarily assisting Inspector Sa'er. As long as you know that you have committed an unforgivable crime, just cooperate with our investigation." As the man spoke, a supervisor wearing a yellow shawl stood behind him. The officer raised his head.
Seeing the two generals, one on the left and one on the right, approaching fiercely, Lin just wanted to complain. His words made it clear that he was unforgivable. If he followed them back obediently, he would be rewarded? Lin also lowered his face and said in a low voice: "If you do things you shouldn't do and say things you shouldn't say, are you aware enough?"
"Awakening?" The man walking from the left sneered and said, "We should ask you this question. Are you aware of disobeying an inspector's wishes?"
But none of you are inspectors. For someone who was complaining like this in his heart, another thing he was more concerned about now was that the lich was too quiet. He turned his head curiously and saw Fen staring at him with an expression of suppressed laughter, with no intention of intervening.
For the two people who were going to capture the target person, the attitude of the other party was what they saw for the first time. In the past, under the leadership of Inspector Sahel, no one who was captured was trembling, beaten or scolded, and no one dared to resist. But this time, the other party was quite absent-minded, not even looking at him, but staring at the beauty next to him.
I really thought that person was the legendary Demon King. joke! The distance between you and the target is so close that you can capture the opponent just by stretching out your hand. As long as he returns to the Inspector's dungeon, he will inevitably die even if he is a great magician.
Then his vision went dark, and the last thing he saw was an indescribable huge fire wall, with the dark starry sky on the other side, and his body flew towards the fire wall involuntarily. At this point, he was unconscious.
Although it has not yet been swallowed up by the wall of fire - if someone were there and looked over from a distance, he would clearly point out that it was a star -, his body had already been ignited by the high temperature of radiant heat. It burned until there was no residue left. The whole process is quick and complete with no chance of pain.
Another man was equally lucky, and before he realized what he had gotten himself into, he went mad. So even if he fell into a huge dinner plate and looked eye to eye with the alien creature with seventeen eyes, he just smiled instead of screaming in fear. On one side of the field of vision, an equally huge head with three faces squeezed in, and he let out a roar like a bell.
'Why is there a human on your plate? But mine doesn’t, my mother is partial! '
'It has nothing to do with mom. This person got into my plate by himself. '
'I want to eat too! '
'never! Whatever goes on my plate is mine! '
It was too late, but soon, two equally huge forks, one up and one down, pierced the chest and abdomen. With just one exertion, the person was torn apart. The two alien monsters were muttering as they happily ate the unexpected delicacy. After eating, the one with seventeen eyes held his four hands in pairs and prayed sincerely, saying:
'Thank God for giving me abundant food. I hope you will come to my plate next time, and I will chew it carefully with gratitude. '
In the square below the Pilsen Tower, everyone witnessed the two magicians who tried to capture the man disappear into thin air. No matter how dull a person is, they can guess what happened just now and where the weird atmosphere came from.
And the man who kept looking for trouble, kept shouting, and kept instructing others to do things, now shouted hysterically: "Where are the people? Why are they missing? Did you kill them, right?"
"Me?" Lin pretended to be innocent and said in a wronged voice: "I didn't kill anyone. I don't know where the people who left have gone. Their feet are on them, so they can go wherever they want. I I can't care. Maybe they have something to do at home and they went back first. I didn't tell you, it's their business. I'm not his father and mother, so I can't control it so leniently."
"No matter what you do, send them back! If you refuse, you will regret it until the day you die."
"What happened to them has nothing to do with me. How can I send them back?" Lin continued to be tough. In fact, even if he relents, he still doesn't know how to save the people who were thrown away by the extra-dimensional exile technique. This is also the price of fast and easy casting.
"Damn it!" The angry magician was about to step forward and arrest the person himself.
Lin innocently said: "Are you coming over too?"
A simple question made the furious man freeze immediately, unable to move forward or retreat. With an exaggerated expression of dumbfoundedness on his face, everyone knew that this guy was in a bad situation. If we move forward, can there be different results?
At least none of the people watching, whether they were magicians or warriors, knew how to deal with the weird magic that made people disappear. One should even ask, is that magic? People who don't understand account for the vast majority of the situation.
If they retreat, it will be the first step towards the collapse of the prestige established by these villains who have been attached to the inspector for a long time. Because someone has no fear of their fragile authority and doesn't seem to have any means of revenge.
"It seems that--" the inspector, the great magician Sa'er, who had been standing silently at the back, spoke for the first time, "-- we made a mistake. These are all misunderstandings. Let's go."
Being able to rise to the position of inspector in Pilsen, a well-known school city in Midland, Saer knew how to assess the situation better than most people, because his companions who couldn't do it were either inactive or dead. Only those with strength have the ability to play dirty. Of course the focus is on 'play', not 'obscenity'.
Those who have no strength need to be strong-willed, to bluff and pretend to be powerful, and to be unable to retreat even a step, otherwise everything they have worked hard to build will collapse in an instant. But what does that have to do with myself? Saer thought so. So he turned around and left without any doubts.
Seeing his backer leaving, the originally aggressive magician could no longer stand. He looked back and forth several times, and finally had no choice. He was filled with anger and regret, and followed the great magician Saer with mixed emotions. Although he was angry, he was not angry enough to yell at this one. He lowered his voice and growled like a vicious dog: "Why just leave like this? There's a lot of money at stake."
"Until I figure out what happened and what he did, I will no longer choose to come forward. If you are not satisfied, you can come forward yourself."
In Pilsen, the followers of the Ombudsman are usually less loyal than those of other magicians, and are usually a combination of interests. The Overseer provides power and force, while the followers provide money and convenience. Each gets what they need, so it is common for the two parties to have different opinions and goals.
But most of the time, such conflicts will not be brought to the table, and cooperation can continue, but only if a certain limit is not exceeded. And it was obvious that the matter in front of him had exceeded the limit of what Saer was willing to do. Going forward is just a desperate effort. It was also obvious that the bounty, especially a bounty to be shared, was not enough to buy his life.
Saer looked back and thought that everything he knew about the magician happened nearly two years ago. Maybe we should have a better understanding of what happened to him during this period of time.
