Gold is Justice

Although I was able to drive a carriage and earn a little money to support my family in the future, life became more and more difficult, and life became more and more poor... This point is vivid in my mind now.

"I finally know... why we are so poor..."

Seeing that time was running out, Judas burst into tears again.

He raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at his wife and son affectionately, and said slowly——

"In the past, I always thought that we were unlucky, that we couldn't plow those fields, and couldn't manage the carriage well. But now... I think, if it's just me, it might really be our family's bad luck. "

"But...so many people...so many brothers have come here with us. So, there must be something wrong with those nobles, right? We really...really...from the very beginning, I went in the wrong direction..."

Having said that, Judas stretched out his hand, grabbed his wife's shoulder, gritted his teeth, and said ruthlessly——

"Honey! It's the nobles...the nobles of our town, the rich people, they killed us! The mayor of Pelican City is right...I was deceived...I mistakenly thought how smart I was , but I am actually the biggest idiot in the world!"

The wife nodded, her eyes full of concern.

Judas gritted his teeth, his eyes were full of anger, and said again: "It is them...they are the real enemies of our poverty! But...although I understand this, it is still too late..."

With tears in his eyes, his wife said, "My dear..."

Judah: "But... you are not too late, nor are our children! Don't be fooled by the rich! Never trust those who deceive us, take our fields, and our jobs !"

"If the mayor can provide you with a job, why don't those noble gentlemen pay some money to arrange jobs for us? Why don't they give us poor people a way to survive?!"

"So... after I die, you must not forget this hatred. You must not let our children forget it! You must let our children remember that you must not be fooled by those bastards again! You must let his heart Keep hating! However, the person who should hate is definitely not the mayor of Pelican City, but those bastard noble lords!"

Judas turned his head, grabbed his son who was happily eating with both hands, and said with twitching corners of his mouth——

"In the future... avenge me! Take back all the wealth that the nobles should not have! Take back all the fields and jobs that belong to us! As long as this... as long as this is done, in the presence of the God of Light You will rest in peace! Son, did you hear that? You must avenge your father!"

A young child may not be able to understand why his father is so heartbroken.He stared blankly at his father, and because of fear, some tears began to appear in his eyes.

It was also at this time that there were a few slight knocks on the door behind.The wife was startled, turned her head to look at the door, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab her husband's hand, wanting to say something, but she was already choked up.

Judas' eyes were full of sadness and despair.He shook his head lightly, hugged his wife into his arms, and kissed her forehead, eyebrows, nose, and lips deeply.

The tears from the swollen eyes of the two people merged into one in this mutual kiss, and they could no longer tell you and me apart, only a piece of sincerity blended with each other at this moment.

After a while...

Boom—boom——

There was another soft knock on the door.It's just a little more rushed than last time.

Judas let go of his wife's shoulders, took the hand of the son next to him, and handed it to his wife, and then gently pushed the two towards the door.

"Honey……"

"Go ahead and don't let our boy forget why I died. Tell him his father was a fool who mistook his true enemy for his benefactor. Then... live well... must Live well, let our child grow up, let him read many books, let him know as many truths as the mayor..."

"Woooooooo..."

"My dear...I owe you too much in this life...I have no way to repay you in this life, I can only pray for the next life...the next life...the next life, I can meet again You, take care of you again...and in the next life...I will definitely not make such a mistake again...I must...definitely..."

The more he said, the more Judas' voice choked up.Tears mixed into his mouth, making him almost speechless.

At this moment, the door finally opened slowly, and an undead soldier was already standing at the door.Seeing this, the wife finally covered her mouth, never daring to look back, and pulled the child out of the room.

And when the door was closed again, and the death row prisoner was left alone in this warm cabin...

He couldn't help raising his arm, and opened his mouth to bite.

The pain stimulated the brain, and emotions of regret and unwillingness were aroused along with the catharsis.

The man squatted down, hugged his body, and curled up in the corner of the room like a ball.

Now, the only thing he can do is cry... long cry...

Finally, waiting for the arrival of the last moment...

----

In the early morning, the thunderstorm last night also stopped at this moment.

Ariel walked into this wooden room slowly, looked at Judas who was lying on the bed over there, and then looked at Margaux who was in charge of testing.

Margaux picked up a small cup that fell on the ground and put it on the table next to it.Then he came to the bed, stretched out his hand, and pressed gently on Judas' chest.

The death row prisoner's expression was very calm, as if he had really fallen asleep.

However, when Margot's hand left his chest, and then chanted a healing spell again and landed on the death row prisoner, she exhaled slowly, turned her head, and looked at Ariel who was here, Cream , Coco said——

"I have completely lost my vital signs, and even my elemental affinity has disappeared."

Ariel nodded, then turned to Cream next to her, and said, "After he drank it, did he show any signs of pain?"

Cream shook his head and said, "Not at all. When I came in in the morning, he seemed very calm. When I handed him the cup containing the venom, he asked me if the venom would act immediately. When I said After that, he drank the venom and climbed into bed by himself. During the whole process, he did not see any signs of painful struggle."

Ke Ke stepped forward, looked left and right at Judas' body, with a joyful expression on his face, and said: "The breath of death is so strong, it must be completely dead. You don't need this thing, do you? I'll help you take it off."

Ke Ke casually took off the magic bracelet on the corpse, swung it around twice with her fingers, turned to look at Ariel behind her, and said, "Sister President, are you doing this too cheaply for them? These ten people are murderers." Ah! One by one, their hands are covered with blood! According to the usual standards, they should be paraded through the streets, and then even if they are not burned to death in public, they must be hanged in the street and hung on a tree."

"But now? A glass of venom drink, and it ended quietly. They died without any pain at all, and they didn't even have to struggle. And the money to buy the venom has to be paid by our guild. Isn't that right? Some are too nice for them?"

Cream chuckled, and said, "Silly girl, these people are going to become dead. Why? You still envy them that they can drink poisoned wine to die? If you are so envious, you can go and have a drink~~ ~"

Ke Ke rolled her eyes at Cream.But then, as if thinking of something, the girl immediately turned around and came back to the corpse, stretched out her hand and patted the chest of the corpse, and said to Ariel: "Sister President! I understand, you must You want to leave these corpses for me, right? Right! If you want to leave them for me, then of course the more complete the better!"

When Coco showed this inappropriate excitement, Margo at the side reached out and knocked her on the head in a timely manner, and said, "Don't think about such a mess, let your undead soldiers come to help, Knock the corpse into the coffin outside. The family members of the deceased are still waiting to claim it." Ke Ke covered her head, pouted her mouth, and snorted uncomfortably.But just when she was about to say something, another hand was lightly placed on her shoulder.Looking back, it was his own president.

"Ke Ke, you are almost taller than me now."

With a gentle smile on his face, the mayor looked at the girl with two ponytails who had obviously begun to develop and was about the same height as himself.

Ke Ke saw Ariel smiling at her, but crawled into her arms like a clingy kitten, repeatedly rubbing against her, and said, "President sister~~~! President! Sister~~~! Compliment me again, and Coco again~~~!"

Ariel smiled and continued rubbing the girl's head.When she was comfortable enough, Ariel held her shoulders and said with a smile: "I knew it, our family's cocoa is the best! Similarly, Coco is also a kind child who can understand other people's hearts, right?"

Ke Ke stuck out her tongue, tapped her head lightly, and said, "I was just joking. I know I know~~~! The president sister is trying to convince everyone that the president sister is the one The best mayor! Hee hee, don’t worry, President, I’m no longer the kid who only knows how to hide behind you. Many times, I can protect the president’s sister, and I know that the president’s sister wants Do something."

After finishing speaking, the necromancer took a deep breath, turned his head full of vitality, and waved the staff in his hand!In an instant, four undead soldiers stood up in the room, stepped forward, carefully picked up Judas' body, and slowly carried it out.

And when everyone left the small room, they just happened to see the bodies of Judas and nine other death row prisoners being put into coffins one after another.

Beside the coffin, the families of the death row prisoners cried bitterly, but none of the family members showed any hostility to the song of the mermaid.When several of the family members saw the mayor passing by, they would show a thankful expression to Ariel, bend down, and thank her.

Presiding over these coffins moving toward the cemetery, Margaux, as a priest, presided over the burial ceremony.

As death row prisoners, the death and burial of these people must not be compared with the ordinary dead citizens of Pelican City. Even the place of burial can only be chosen in a remote corner, unobtrusive.

But in the end, they don't need to expose their corpses to the wilderness, and their family members can also vent their sadness during the last ceremony, so that they can get a vent and ease the pain in their hearts.

Ariel did not attend the funeral.

After watching those coffins leave, she turned her head and walked towards her guild.

Because she really has too much work and too many things to do.

During the trial, I said it so nicely, but talking about it means that I can really do it.If nothing can be done, how can those citizens continue to believe in themselves?

"President, you are really aggrieved as the mayor."

Cream accompanied Ariel on the same walk back, holding the back of his head with his hands, and said with a smile as he walked.

Ke Ke next to him made a strange face at the assassin, stuck out his tongue and said, "The elder sister always has her own ideas~~~! Do you care about being aggrieved or not?"

Cream laughed, and continued: "Yes, yes~~~! People make money when they are mayors, but when our chairman becomes mayor, he starts to lose money at the very beginning. When people become mayors, they try to find ways to make themselves more money. Get some. The first thing our president thinks of when he is the mayor is to make our people in Pelican City live a good life!"

The assassin stepped forward quickly, came to Ariel, walked backwards, and said as he walked——

"President, I remember you said before that you will not have illusions about this world. You also said that you will recognize the reality. But now, the more I look at it, the more I feel that your thoughts are a little naive? Some are unrealistic ?”

Ariel wasn't angry either, she knew exactly what the assassin meant, so she just put her hands behind her back, smiled and said, "Why, do you think I'm just a silly and innocent little girl? A little princess of love and peace?"

"Ha! The little princess of love and peace would not want to make a more powerful weapon, and then use this weapon to blow the heads of everyone who stands in the way of your innocent thoughts. The innocent little girl who is stupid and innocent You will never compromise on the death penalty for robbers with the idea of ​​considering the victims, and you will also take care of the death row criminals so that they will be grateful to you even to death."

Cream rubbed his nose, smiled, and continued——

"Although... I think your idea is a little naive and a little unrealistic. But I always feel... Maybe the word 'romantic' should be used to describe your idea, which is more accurate."

The first thousand and 240 seven chapters of communication problems

"Under one world, everyone has the same status, no nobles, no slaves, both men and women can work, no one will oppress others, and then everyone can have enough food and live a good life Thoughts... It's too romantic no matter how you think about it. Besides, you are not one of those who just say you want to achieve world peace, but actually do nothing. Over the years, your I see all your actions. Although I know that every action of yours is just a small step, I am sure that you really want to move towards that romantic and beautiful world." Having said that, bogey The smile on Lian's face suddenly stopped——

"However, President. I've been thinking about this issue recently. Although the world you speak of is very romantic and beautiful. But if you really want to realize this beautiful dream...then you are really The whole world is an enemy."

Ke Ke, who was smiling happily next to her, was suddenly stunned at this moment.

She opened her mouth halfway, and for a moment she didn't seem to think why this topic suddenly brought up the whole world?

The situation at this moment may be too huge for this 15-year-old necromancer, so huge that she doesn't know how to answer the following words, so she can only stand here obediently and look at the two people. , the face slowly began to tense up.

"An enemy of the world? Hehehe, what are you talking about, Cream."

However, Ariel covered her mouth now, smiled very easily, waved her hand, and said——

"I'm not the devil king thousands of years ago, who was against the whole world. And look at me, do I look a little bit like the king of the demon race? Be against the world? Hahaha, stop joking~~~"

Regarding Ariel's relaxed appearance, Cream did not show any relaxation.He frowned, and still said seriously: "But President, if we really go ahead with what you said, then we..."

"Let me ask you, in this world, are there more nobles or commoners?"

Suddenly, Ariel reached out and pointed to Cream's nose.

This made the thief a little stunned. After thinking about it, he finally said: "Of course...there are many civilians. The reason why nobles are nobles is because they have a small number of people..."

Ariel put her hands on her hips and said with a smile: "Since there are many civilians, if I were on the side of the common people, wouldn't I be on the side with the most people from the beginning? Since I am on the side with the most people On the other side, how can I be against the world? Cream, will you be against me? Coco, will you be against me? Will Song of the Mermaid be against me? Will the citizens of Pelican City be against me? Am I an enemy? Even those prisoners, after this trial, how many of those prisoners will think that I am their enemy?"

There was only a wry smile on Cream's face: "But the president, that's not what he said... let's forget about it, but just like those prisoners, they were so ignorant before that they could be mobilized easily Attack us. Even if you think you're on their side, they don't..."

Originally, Cream thought that after he said what he said, the president would say something that would allow him to refute without words even if he was not convinced.

But he never expected that after he said these words, the chairman would be on the spot all of a sudden.

Immediately, he frowned, pinched his chin for a while, nodded slightly, and said, "You are right, I want everyone to know that I stand with them and I am not their enemy...but It’s hard for me to let them know. If I have to give a bunch of speeches every time, I’m going to burn out.”

The corner of Cream's mouth twitched, thought for a while, and said, "So... President, what are you going to do?"

Ariel thought for a while again, but after a while, she still shook her head and said: "Now the strength of Song of the Mermaid is enough to completely radiate in Pelican City, but it is not enough to expand and spread my words." Use. Hmm... This question makes me think carefully... Then, we can deal with some other things first..."

"Yes, let me think about it, I have to think about it carefully..."

Seeing the president's pensive look, Ke Ke and Cream looked at each other behind, and could only helplessly shake their heads and curl their lips.
