Early in the morning, there was a commotion outside the hotel, so noisy that people had to wake up. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Lin opened the window and took a look. The streets were full of soldiers, blocking the door of the hotel.
"Listen to the magicians inside. Yesterday, two of you women offended the greatest family in this land, the only child of Baron Rab. But the baron was magnanimous and decided to spare the innocent ones instead of punishing them. All of you, the condition is that you hand over the two women and let the baron judge them according to the laws of this land. If you don't agree and insist on protecting the daring criminals, none of you will be able to escape, and the baron's army will All of you are sent to hell. Even if you are lucky enough not to die in the battle, burning at the stake will be your only fate. Repeat it again, hand over..."
Before he finished speaking, his voice stopped abruptly. All the soldiers looked up and saw a magician wearing pajamas who suddenly appeared on the rain cover on the first floor. He had a long sword in his right hand and a head in his left hand. Blood was dripping from his broken neck. The expression of the human head was as usual, completely unaware of its own death. He came here with the army, was familiar with aristocratic etiquette, and was the baron's most trusted liaison officer.
How could his head be in the magician's hands? The curious soldier turned around and saw that there was only a headless body hunched over the horse that the liaison officer was riding. Blood was emerging from the broken neck of the ground, splashing on the faces of the surrounding soldiers.
Some of the troops who came here were not afraid when they saw this. Instead, they were excited about the death of the liaison officer. If that person is not dead, why would it be someone else's turn to take over?
So he tried to drum up everyone's emotions to gain control of the army. He shouted: "This magician used evil magic to take away the life of the baron's messenger. For the majesty of the baron, he has only one..."
The sound stopped again, and the magician changed to a sitting position, Ji sitting on the rain cover, with one leg dangling outside the eaves. The difference was that there was an extra head next to him, that ambitious and disgusting guy who inspired the soldiers to charge. That impassioned expression was lifelike and completely incompatible with his current situation.
Just when everyone was panicking, a third person spoke. Of course, he first scolded the magician on the eaves, and then took advantage of the righteousness, saying that if he did not take revenge on the magician, he would be sorry for the baron and the deceased. So they have to report...
The sound stopped again, and everything was as usual. The difference was that there was another human head next to a certain magician.
Now even the most obtuse person could see some clues, and some even saw how the magician killed people. As long as someone speaks, the person will suddenly appear behind the speaker, and then his head will be chopped off with a sword, easily and without any hindrance. Then before anyone could react, he disappeared again and returned to his position on the rain cover, as if he had never left.
For a moment, no one dared to speak, and they looked at each other. The man sitting on the rain cover yawned loudly, feeling a little bored. Instead, it was the sword in his hand that spoke: "Why do you think no one down there dares to speak? They were originally looking for trouble aggressively, but why are they all silent now?"
"It's very simple." Lin said, raising Hakiri in front of him: "It's easy for people to be superstitious about the power brought by large numbers of people and ignore the difference in strength. The best thing is that those with noble status People will stay in a safe place and irresponsibly encourage others to die. Because they believe that they will be safe before all the people in front of them die. And when the people in front of them are almost dead, He still has time and opportunity to escape. But if this layer of cognition is taken away and they understand that no place is safe, and even instigating others will be the first to die, what will happen then? If there is no more, they can sacrifice at will. When faced with a human barrier, will these noble people who only dare to speak out and dare not risk their lives really be as brave and fearless as they say? There is a saying in my hometown, to shoot the general first, shoot the horse, and to catch the thief first, capture the king. . Cut off the commander who only knows how to command blindly, then how many of the remaining people will be willing to choose to be an enemy of someone who is neither willing to harm his family nor the land. The only thing that will be damaged is It only has the face of a noble. And is that kind of thing valuable to a soldier? Maybe they get a salary from a noble, and they will receive a pension even if they die, but the main premise of all this is that the noble family can still Live. If they are destined to die, then being loyal will just mean dying in vain. In the end, one of their relatives will lose one family member and will not receive any compensation. In this case, several people are willing to sacrifice their lives to deal with someone they cannot win. What about people? After all, it is a mistake to appear in a place where a magician can see it with the naked eye."
After several questions, even though it was a conversation between Lin and Haggiri, it also damaged the morale of the soldiers. The leaders were all dead, and it seemed that the object of their allegiance was destined to be gone, so what was the purpose of giving their lives in vain.
Of course, there are many loyal soldiers among the soldiers. Seeing that the morale of their companions has been so damaged, they want to retreat. Anxious, he came forward and shouted: "Don't believe what this magician said. If he was really not afraid of our numerical advantage, he wouldn't talk so much nonsense. Come on, everyone, kill him and do your best for the Baron... …”
Before he could finish his words, he bowed his head.
This time, the magician on the rain cover changed his posture, and he was also holding a head, which was the man who spoke. The murdering magician, with slight dissatisfaction, raised Hakakiri in front of him and said, "It seems that the knife is too fast, which is not a good thing."
"How do you say it?" When did his strengths turn into weaknesses, Hagiri asked curiously.
"You see, if the sword is not stained with blood, it is as if it has not chopped anyone. If I were holding the head in one hand today and the bloody sword in the other hand, wouldn't it look more convincing. Still, I didn't kill enough. It’s a lot, so there’s not enough blood on it. Maybe it’s a good choice to collect a bucket of blood and let it drip while you’re at it.”
Amid someone's strange voice, the first soldier who couldn't stand the fright threw away his weapon, turned around and ran away. No one stopped the soldiers from fleeing, because the heads of those who were in charge and had the power to execute deserters had already been piled at the magician's feet. 52 Literature
However, before someone could appreciate the scene of the enemy fleeing, he was criticized by the weapon in his hand. Haggiri said angrily: "You idiot, what a stupid idea! Just to scare people, you want to bleed me. Do you know that the blood stains are super annoying? If you don't deal with it, it will make the whole thing super uncomfortable."
"You are a sword, how can you have so many weird hairs!"
"Ah, why don't you pour that bucket of blood on your head? I'm sure it will be scarier. You fat man, don't think that I won't recognize you if you change into a vest!"
"Hey, I was discovered. I thought I was pretending well." Lin showed a narrow smile.
"Why did you run out?" Asked Haggiri.
'Lin' replied: "It is normal for a second personality to appear when you are half asleep, mentally depressed, or having sex after drinking. Otherwise, why would there be so many people who always say that they are themselves after waking up? I don’t remember anything. Without us doing this, there would be no chance for them to make such excuses.”
"Your foul mouth will kill your idiot in a waistcoat sooner or later."
"Hey, how could you think that he doesn't have me in his heart? The relationship between me and him is on a higher level than 'you are in the mud and I am in the mud'. If his character If there is really no me, then I should not exist, do you understand? Ah, no, of course you don’t understand. Isn’t it too difficult for a person who is hard-headed all day long to understand things that require brain use? After all, blood is Concentrate on the lower body.”
"...I have no lower body."
"No, you don't even have your upper body. Hey, hey, hey hey hey..." Someone who was smiling strangely was thrown a hardcover book from the window by the half-awake lich, smashing one Staggering, the whole person fell from the rain cover to the ground on the first floor.
With this fall, someone was not only knocked unconscious, but also woken up. He rubbed his eyes again and looked around anxiously. I fell out of bed... Well, I grabbed the loess next to me, and someone vaguely understood that it seemed that I didn't just fall out of bed, but also fell out of the window and onto the first floor.
But so sleepy...
There was another flash, and Lin returned to the bed in the original room and fell asleep. Then a certain sword shouted alone: "Hey~, I have been forgotten. Someone will pick me up."
In the early morning conflict, the corpses left behind will naturally be collected by the town's body collectors. Of course, there will also be police officers responsible for maintaining law and order, who will arrest and punish such vicious and serious elements in order to maintain the stability of the town.
But if the strength gap is too large, the entire town will appear quite peaceful. This is the current situation in Colombo Port. Everyone just wants to send away the God of Plague as soon as possible instead of angering the other party.
As for the unlucky guy who died, to be honest, Baron Rab was not as great as his men boasted. The Baron is just one of the people with noble blood in Port Colombo. Therefore, when his subordinates died, no residents would feel sad or angry, and they would even feel a little happy. The baron's fat, useless son was still quite unpopular in the port, although not outrageous.
Moreover, the common people in the Lost World are not ignorant and obedient people. Maybe they didn't dare to directly trouble the nobles, but any group of escorts went too far. Sometimes people disappeared in dark alleys. It was not an unheard-of thing. So they made trouble for the magician and were killed. This could only be regarded as a different kind of daily life, and the residents would not be surprised.
However, in an alley, the people who secretly watched all this could not be called 'satisfied' with the result. He pulled the hood of his big cloak down to hide his face more tightly. The hand with dark skin quickly retracted under the cloak.
Although the sunshine in the late winter morning is not that strong, it is still not suitable for underground residents. At least the curse from the sun caused a real burning sensation on the skin. Everything on the ground is disgusting.
