Vesenna, the sheriff, and the witcher suddenly changed their expressions and backed away involuntarily.

In the blink of an eye.

Wisps of scarlet flames emerged from the eye sockets, mouth... seven orifices of the man kneeling on the ground, wrapping around his entire body!

Wrap him up completely.

The dazzling shocking changes took only half a second.

The strange scarlet flames danced wildly as if they were alive, casting irregular reflections on the wall!

The three of them had no time to react, and Mato's upper body was directly sublimated by the high temperature, turning into red gas.

Only the remnant body below the chest and abdomen knelt down on the ground, burning quietly.

As Yurga once described, the red flame burned the flesh and blood, but produced no smoke.

"This, is this the murderous red light?" The bald sheriff was dumbfounded, trembling as he leaned against the wall.

Vesenna's fingertips shot out a jagged magical aura, and several water jets poured towards Mato's head.

But it can't quench the lingering flames.

"This light leaves no room for regret at all!"

"It's definitely not the handwriting of God."

Once hit, the red light is a sword of Damocles hanging above the head!

A sense of enlightenment rose in the demon hunter's mind, his face twisted,

The ancient blood is boiling!

Asshole!

Want to snatch someone in front of me again?

"I don't care what you are!"

"Mato!"

"Don't die!"

Vesenna, who was a magistrate with a horrified face and was concentrating on casting spells, saw the demon hunter pointing at her casually!

Fingertips seem to light up a planet.

The round and hazy mask instantly expanded, covering four people and half the room.

The blood of the ancients boiled violently, and the power of time exploded!

"Shh-"

all of a sudden.

Kneeling on the ground, the upper body of the man whose upper body was gasified, his flesh and blood plump up again, his chest, abdomen, linen underwear, neck, head, eyes, top of his head...restored to their original state!

The scarlet flames dissipated.

Matto regained his breath and heartbeat, his eyes brightened, his mouth opened and closed.

His hoarse statement echoed again in the room.

It was the scene 20 seconds ago——

"Ainz has a compulsive habit of recording his daily income and expenditures, which has lasted for more than 20 years. There must be clues in the ledger. Search his mansion, and they will definitely be found!"

And Vesenna and He didn't notice the time going back at all, and listened intently.

It seems that they have completely forgotten the horror of the cremation of the living people before, and their memories disappear with the backward time.

Roy outlined with five fingers, and directly gave Mato a seal of Axi.

The latter's voice was interrupted, he closed his eyes, and fell limp to the ground.

Snoring.

"Witcher, what do you mean?"

the sheriff questioned.

The witcher was silent.

Until 20 seconds later, Mato was still sleeping quietly, and the scarlet flame was no longer lit.

He just wiped off the cold sweat on his brow and heaved a sigh of relief.

"You didn't notice? Mato's condition is very bad. If you continue to talk about it, there will be a big mess. Let him rest." Roy smiled heartily at the two, "I will be responsible for the next thing. Learn everything."

"I'll help you solve your urgent needs. As long as you restore Geralt, Yurga, and Mato's innocence!"

Chapter 19 Best of both worlds!

Sheriff Leete watched Mato who was being helped to sleep on the sofa, and turned his eyes to Vesenna. He ignored what the witcher said just now.

"Ma'am, I respect you, so I don't want to fool you with hypocritical reasons. Let's be honest, so what if Ainz committed a felony? The reality is that he is dead. There will be no large quantities of cheap supplies in the city, and the refugees will suffer from hunger." starving, and the citizens of Mayenne are caught in a dilemma of continuous price rises."

"Convicting Ainz of the crime is of no use," Lite said in a deep voice. "The mayor has been troubled by this matter for a week, and he can't sleep all night. He can't believe the so-called red light murder, even if what you said is true."

"So this is not a simple relationship between the murderer and the deceased, understand?"

"You mean, the mayor and the townspeople need a 'punching bag'?" Vesenna's voice became cold, and her emerald green eyes were like poisonous snakes. "But even if you sacrifice innocent people, it won't solve Mayena's crisis!"

"At least it can delay for a while. So I'm sorry I can't do anything, Geralt and Yurga just hit the knife edge, this is the will of fate."

There was a brief silence in the office.

The woman's shoulders trembled slightly, her back straightened, her temperament changed from quiet and elegant to full of wildness,

From a wise scholar warlock to a heroic forest walker.

Eyes fixed on the sheriff, like a vengeful female beast, she has some plan in mind.

"Master Lite, there is actually a way to get the best of both worlds?" Roy broke the deadlock, raised his chin slightly, and his voice was full of confidence, "It will not only let Mayena get out of the current predicament, but also make Geralt and Yule Gaga and Mato have their innocence restored, and the sinners are punished."

"Stop joking with me, witcher? Are you planning to hypnotize me with your juggling just now?" Lite showed a sarcasm smile, and he respected the witcher far less than a lady.

"Don't you understand the essence of the matter, my lord?" Roy crossed his arms and scanned the sheriff's body with a half-smile in his eyes. The ridicule and banter in it made Lite extremely impatient, but he broke out Before, the witcher spoke again,

"Mayena can't buy cheap materials, what is the problem in essence? Lack of money! If there are sufficient funds, then all problems will be solved!"

"Who wouldn't talk nonsense?" Li Te sneered, "Do you think that the problem of funds is as simple as the entrustment accepted by the demon hunter, and you can come here to receive the reward with a few simple moves of your hand and a funny monster head in your hand?"

"Is your brain stuffed with muscles, 'my lord'," the witcher replied unceremoniously, he was fed up with the guy's eyes, and since the toast is not eaten, "your eyes are poked by prejudice and anger Are you blind?"

"you--"

"A ready-made opportunity is right in front of us," the demon hunter took a step forward, approaching the sheriff, his piercing eyes and stern demeanor made him speechless.

In the past few years as a magistrate, he has seen dozens of vicious death row prisoners, but none of them has such a terrifying aura.

He felt that he was being watched by a monster as majestic as a mountain.

Reluctantly took a step back,

"How many crimes has Ainz committed in the past? And his net worth and all his wealth came through crime." The demon hunter's eyes lit up red, "According to Mayenna's law, no, according to the entire According to the laws of the north, what should happen to him?!"

Lite's heart moved, his cheeks flushed faintly, his breathing became heavier,

"Confiscate property!"

"Ainz, Mayenne's honorary ambassador, how much wealth he has seized with this name, not to mention the money he has robbed from other businessmen in the past ten years. Since the outbreak of the war, he has made money by reselling supplies!"

"Think about it, these add up to a lot! Get them," Roy paused, and the light illuminated his indifferent face. "At least, Mayena will not be short of money in the next few years!"

Lite swallowed.

He estimated that the honorary ambassador had accumulated a net worth and huge wealth, at least more than 20 Oren!

If looting, no!These are all ill-gotten gains and should be confiscated.

Getting this money will not only solve the urgent needs of the mayor, but also benefit him a little bit, laying a solid foundation for his future career path!

"What a fool I am!"

Honorary Ambassador, has always been aloof.

In the past, he didn't have enough good reasons to attack the respected Ainz.

Now, with Mato's testimony and the discovery of Ainz's criminal evidence, it was enough to strip him of his amulet of honor.

He is sure that the Lord Mayor supports this idea 100%!

Let Ainz's distant relative and heir who appeared out of nowhere go to hell!

Leeteuk clenched his fists, his face flushed and trembling with excitement.

And Weisenna looked at this sharp-tongued and clear-minded demon hunter, and her heart couldn't help falling.

Geralt made a wise friend.

There is no need to make a move by yourself.

"Understood, Master Lite! Now, without further delay—" said the witcher almost in an orderly tone, "clear the stigma for Geralt, Yurga, and Mato, and expose that to the townspeople. Ainz's unbearable crime! As for his criminal evidence, it must be in his house! Understand? Besides, we still have witnesses!"

"As for the real cause of Ainz's death...you're right, blaming it on the red light is indeed too frightening and likely to cause panic among the citizens. I've already thought of a better explanation for you." Roy shook his head, Bury the scene of Mato's spontaneous combustion just now into his mind.

He casually pointed to the giant wolf corpse still lying on the ground, bloody and bloody.

"Ainz went to the suburbs to discuss business. On the way back, he was attacked by this group of terrifying mutated wolves. He was bitten to death in the suburbs and devoured all of them. As for the mutilated remains, you can definitely find them... and You Ulga, Matto, Geralt, are too frightened to talk nonsense."

"There is no red light at all!"

"Only beasts attack!"

"In this way... the innocent are released, the criminals are punished, Mayena eases the financial crisis, and the refugees and townspeople are no longer troubled by prices and food!"

"Isn't everyone happy?"

The strange-colored pupils swept across the sheriff whose cheeks were numb with shock.

A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Roy's mouth.

And Vesenna opened her mouth slightly, her emerald green eyes sizing up the witcher with surprise.

In his more than 200 years of life, he has never seen such a smooth-talking witcher.

This eloquence and wit are simply confusing black and white.

No, he just reassigned a position for all the participants in the event.

Mutant wolves did eat people, Ainz was riddled with crimes, Yurga and his servants were frightened... and the little-known red light also played its role, purifying the sins.

Everything fits and makes sense, as if they should, and the witcher's statements are the truth!

Lite took a deep breath, suppressed his restless heart, and the idea of ​​immediate action, "Your Excellency, I admit, I underestimated you! This idea is very exciting!"

"This man, Ainz, has committed a heinous crime! I will report it to the mayor, confiscate his property, expose his ugly behavior to the people, and make him cast aside by everyone!" He changed his voice, stared at the demon hunter with wide-eyed eyes, and questioned in a cold voice. , "But why do you have to release Geralt and Yurga? With your terrible attitude towards me? With you giving me orders?"

Roy took another step closer to him.

The young figure walked up to the bald man and smiled brightly at him.With white teeth and eyes as bright as stars, this smile is clean, comfortable and full of appeal.

Mingming Zhi Anguang was half a head taller than him, but he felt a huge pressure.

Suddenly, there were countless jumping scarlet lights radiating from behind the demon hunter.

Seaweed wrapped around his arms, thighs, neck, chest.

It made him breathless, his cheeks turned a maroon purple, and his skin shuddered with goosebumps.

Fear originates from the depths of the soul!

"Master Lite, I have an idea, you let him go. This is a fair deal between us, in line with the principles of a demon hunter. I believe you will not let me down!"

"Otherwise, you will definitely pay the price!"

"Unaffordable price!"

After finishing speaking, the demon hunter spread his hands and took a few steps back.

Whoa!

The sheriff put his hands on his knees, took a deep breath,

Unknowingly, dripping sweat drenched underwear, hair and beard all over his face.
