God-level Demon Hunter

Page 477

What's more, this doctor is very popular with the people, and the locals and refugees of Mayenne have more or less been favored by her.

I really can't afford to provoke him!

"Then let me see what kind of tricks she has!"

……

Outside the glass window behind the iron fence, a group of thick black clouds suddenly floated in the sky, blocking the bright sunlight.

Followed by roaring thunder, and streaks of lightning like silver snakes.

Tick tock!

A drop of rain falls from the sky!

Demon hunter Roy looked back.

Matto, the witness, and Vesenna, the redhead, sat with him on a bench against the wall in the office, behind which hung a tapestry depicting a burning eternal fire.

The bald man slowly paced around the desk, his gaze swept over the faces of the three of them.

"Honorable lady, and these two. The facts are in front of us, and there is no way to quibble. A week ago, Livia's businessman Yurga and his bodyguard Geralt kidnapped and killed the honorary ambassador Anziyao in the suburbs... um ...and destroy the corpses!"

"Dozens of pairs of eyes saw them leave the city together, and hurried back alone, there is no other possibility!" The sheriff said in a deep voice, "Madam, I hope you understand that the next negotiation must be based on this premise conduct."

"Lord Ainz, the innocent should not be punished!" The female doctor's eyes were clear, her voice was melodious and firm, "We have witnesses, enough to completely disprove your hypothesis!"

"Yes, my lord!" Matto stood up abruptly.He changed into clean, neat linen clothes.

The horse's face looked even thinner, filled with a sickly crimson, he was running a fever,

"I have served Master Ainz for ten years, and I participated in the negotiation with him a week ago, and I understand the whole process...I swear to the gods," he raised a hand with a devout expression,

"Yurga never kidnapped or killed Ambassador Ainz, and the witcher wasn't in the woods at all at that time, let alone murdering my master! Ainz died of other reasons, he—"

"Shut up! Mato, remember your identity!" The bald man grabbed Mato by the neckline, and his fierce beast-like eyes stared at his twinkling eyes, lifting his feet off the ground, " How dare you lie in the name of the gods? Are you really not afraid that your family will be struck to death by lightning?"

"Did you forget?" The sheriff's saliva sprayed wildly on Mato's face, "You are already a wanted criminal, an accomplice of Yurga and the white-haired man, your testimony is not convincing!"

"Be patient." The redhead's voice was full of calm strength, like a breeze blowing through the heart, the sheriff's anger was instantly soothed, and the big hands like steel pliers let go of Mato, who was about to be suffocated.

Roy's eyes lit up, and the Druid's appeasement technique was much more concealed than the witcher's seal.

"Master Lite, can't you finish hearing the witness first?"

"Then he will talk!"

Mato stroked his chest and took a heavy breath, "Lord Ainz and Master Yurga failed to reach a cooperation that day."

The magistrate snorted softly, and there was no motive to kill him.

"We passed a forest on the way back, and there was a dazzling and dangerous red light emitting from it!"

"Here comes this cliché full of flaws again! Are you really fooling me for a fool?" The magistrate interrupted him angrily, "You can't even see the red light of murder!"

Lite still remembered the scene he described to the mayor in the first place. The mayor was so angry that he was like a bull after being provoked. He scolded him bloody and almost fired him directly.

"I'm here to testify!" Vesenna stood up, her emerald green eyes looked straight into the eyes of the sheriff, "I'm not just a doctor, I'm also a druid, I understand nature, every change in the woods on the outskirts of Mayena, They can't escape my eyes."

"I've checked it!" She raised her voice, "At the location Matto described, the natural magnetic field is distorted, and the animals and plants living near it have become unusual!"

"I guarantee it on the honor of the druid! That piece of red light did exist, although it has disappeared now, but the traces and energy it left in the forest, in my eyes, are like the footprints left by the murderer at the scene of the murder, The smell is as striking as the blood!"

"If anyone doubts, I will argue with him face to face!"

……

Lite swallowed, with a look of embarrassment on his face, but he didn't dare to beat and scold the noble female doctor, "Ma'am, I have received your help, so I naturally believe in your character and reputation. But what about you?" How? Without evidence, the mayor and the townspeople will never believe this absurd statement! You can't do that either!"

"Who said there is no evidence?" Roy waved his hand towards the open space in the center of the room, and the bloody wolf corpse that was as big as a calf appeared in front of him out of thin air!

The sheriff was taken aback,

"What the hell is this?"

"My lord, this is the mutated animal after being irradiated by that red light!"

Lite squatted down, and carefully touched its huge head, fluffy back, and its claws like measuring.

Can't help showing surprise on the face.

"Everyone, don't you think this is inconsistent? The honorary ambassador was burned to ashes by the red light in your mouth. But why do these wild animals become stronger instead? Are they not life?" Li Te smiled at Ms. Druid , There was a hint of pride in the pupils, "In the eyes of druids, all creatures, human beings, animals, and plants, are not all equal?"

"It's the same reason! Yurga and Mato were both bathed in red light, why are they intact? Only Ainz was caught?" The sheriff clapped his hands, shook his head, and sighed, "If you want to make up a story, you should be more logical. , don’t be full of loopholes!”

……

"It is true that all things are equal, but the differences between species cannot be denied." Vesenna said meaningfully without changing her expression.

"I have a reasonable explanation, my lord!" Mato added anxiously, "You've never seen that red light, you only need to see it once to understand that it is definitely not an ordinary light, it has intelligence and can screen targets!"

Mato choked up, his face trembled, his eyes frightened,

"It is the punishment of the gods! It only burns to death those who have committed serious crimes, damn it!"

The sheriff's breath caught.

"Beasts, their intelligence is not yet developed, and their thinking is at the lowest level!" Roy continued, his pupils shining brightly under the light, "I have worked hard for survival all my life, so how can I talk about evil? Plants' wisdom is even more elementary. So Instead of harming them, the red light nourished them."

"Humans, people with justice in their hearts, such as Ms. Vesenna, Your Majesty Mato, and Master Lite."

The magistrate's face was faintly red. What he did on weekdays could not be called justice in any case.

"There are also deranged sinners who like to base their happiness on the pain of innocent people! Honorary Ambassador Ainz is one of them!"

"You!" Li Te hesitated, pointing at the witcher.

He worships the Eternal Fire, too disregarding the facts and turning black and white to speak.

He was clear from beginning to end.

Ainz fiddled with food relief for the refugees, so he couldn't be called a good person.

But so what?

He can provide the cheapest food. It is better to eat some food and eat it badly than starve to death.

Even his immediate boss, the mayor, didn't have any opinion.

In Lite's view, Ainz's evil was nothing more than a small evil.

"Master Ainz's mistakes are far more than distributing moldy, spoiled and silt-tainted food to refugees." Matto blushed, with a grim expression, and said very uncomfortable, "He also lied to the refugee camp. Lots of beautiful ladies here."

"They used to be clean and self-sufficient, washing clothes for others and struggling to make a living. But Ainz took a fancy to their beauty, so he threatened and lured them..." Mato took a deep breath, with a painful expression on his face, as if he was enduring something, "Surveillance, stalking They harassed and seduced them with food and beautiful clothes and accessories, and even promised to take them to the city and marry them.”

"I, I participated in one of them as a personal bodyguard." Mato covered his face, a slight sob came out of his throat, "I saw Ainz play with their bodies and emotions with my own eyes, and then abandon them after getting tired of playing with them." .”

"He killed a woman who was pregnant with his flesh and blood, and two women became camp lunatics, and two became prostitutes."

Lite heard the words, but there was not much fluctuation on his face.

How long can the women in the refugee camp live if they don't sell themselves?

From his point of view, the relationship between women and Ainz was just a matter of getting what they wanted.

Not really a felony.

Blame only blame women for being too naive and greedy.

"Any other 'crimes'?" The sheriff yawned bored.

"Ainz... Ainz..." Mato stuttered suddenly, unable to straighten his tongue, clutching his chest and gasping for breath.

"Are you all right, buddy?" Roy pressed his shoulders,

Vesenna touched his forehead and it was hot, "Stop talking, just rest for a while."

"I can hold on, let me finish." Mato shook his head, "Ainz, you are still killing people..."

"In the past ten years, he and a group of robbers in the suburbs of Mayenne cooperated internally and externally, and robbed hundreds of small businessmen with small fortunes!"

"First of all, he will pick a target to sign a lucrative trade contract, and wait for the target to bring the goods he needs and the money to purchase the goods from him to the outskirts of Mayenna, and the bandits in ambush suddenly attack!"

"Money, goods, life, all will not be spared, and the corpse will be destroyed in the end."

"Ainz made his fortune from this business, and grew from a small businessman to an honorary ambassador."

The sheriff's face finally became serious.

The crime of intercepting and killing business travelers is the most abhorrent to city managers!

That means the business climate deteriorates and municipalities miss out on huge tax revenues.

This crime was enough for Ainz to die dozens of times!

Not even the mayor can forgive him!

"Yurga is also one of his chosen targets?"

Roy asked.

"It's the first time Ainz met a businessman who refused to be tempted." Mato nodded with admiration in his eyes.

"In the past six months, he has smelled the breath of war and believes that material trade is more profitable."

"I started buying and selling expired goods again... I made a lot of money." Mato made a sudden vomiting movement, which frightened everyone.

Vesenna supported his shoulders, opened his eyelids, and the bloodshot pupils were as dense as sandworms!

"Is there any evidence?" the magistrate asked recklessly, "You can't casually designate an honorary ambassador!"

"Ainz has a compulsive habit of recording his daily income and expenses, which has lasted for more than ten years." Mato muttered, "There must be clues in the ledger. Search his mansion, and we will definitely find it!"

"Well……"

"Hmm..." There was a hiss in his throat, the veins on his neck were bulging, and his face was so red that it was about to bleed.

He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm done talking..."

The hideous expression became relieved.

Roy withdrew the finger that outlined the sign of Axi.

"The crimes committed by Ainz are too many to count, so he was burned to ashes by the red light." Countless thoughts passed through Lite's mind, and he caught the loopholes in his words, "You are his accomplice, and you Self-admitting that he killed the women in the refugee camp. Why are you okay?"

"My lord didn't notice just now? I was affected, and the red light tortured me in my body, but the crime I committed has not yet reached the bottom line."

"I feel that the gods have given me a chance to repent and make atonement for what I did in the past, so I'm here to see you today." Mato stared at the sheriff's face, with a pious expression full of atonement determination, and let Li Especially moved.

In all his years as sheriff, he had only seen that expression on the faces of condemned prisoners with nooses tied around their necks.

Suddenly repent.

He believed Mato's words.

"Gods, here is the sinner!" Matto suddenly broke free from the support of the witcher and the woman, and fell to his knees, staring at the tapestry on the wall depicting the burning eternal fire.

Put your hands together and pray aloud,

It's like a high fever burns the head and hysteria breaks out.

"I will keep your teachings in mind. I know that I have sinned deeply, and I repent... I beg you to forgive me."

"forgive me!"

His voice was hysterical.

"Free me! Free from fire and pain!"

"You have completed self-salvation, buddy." Roy took a deep breath and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, "If the gods have spirits..."

"Wuuuu... But I still feel uncomfortable."

"It hurts...so hot."

"Lilin...wait for me," he murmured in a hoarse and dry voice with red eyes, "I will marry you when I get back!"

Tears slid down the cheeks, no longer colorless and transparent.

A bright red.
