The town of Antillion where Agulto is currently located is one of the most prosperous towns near Sulugaia. It is not only the main road connecting other city-states, but also the largest supply of Hongguo wine nearby. Many nobles and businessmen in Sulugaia have their own holiday villas in this town.
Borlando has been here many times. He even has a share in a winery. The red wine produced here is colorful and sweet, and it is also of high quality on the entire continent. So the town of Antillion is always full of fruit, wine and joy. People here also usually love to play and laugh, and it is one of the best places to live in several nearby city-states.
But Borlando and Gano walked into this place on the afternoon of the day they attacked Miliana, but they felt a tense atmosphere in the town. When the two of them were wearing priest robes in the Temple of Nature, on the street As they passed by, people evaded and refused to make eye contact with them.
"What's going on? The last time I came here, those little kids would still chase me, but now there are no kids on the road." Bollando said.
"I saw two of them, but they were dragged into the room by adults to close the door." Gano said.
"It's weird." Bollando looked around and found that there were fewer and fewer people around him.
"Since they are not afraid of you, they must be afraid of the clothes on us." In all fairness, the reputation of the Temple of Nature in the folk is still passable, especially in areas outside the kingdom. The believers are at least stronger than many city owners and kings . Gano has traveled to so many places, and has never seen people who are afraid of being a priest.
However, they walked forward for a while, and as they approached the central square, Gano saw the source of this fear.
There are several big trees around the fountain in the middle of the square, and on the trunk of the big tree, there is a dead body. Some of these bodies have already begun to dry, while others have hung up for a while, and they look relatively fresh. The corpses were swaying in the wind, and the slight rancid smell drifted along with the wind.
Gano found that these people are old and young, there are men and women, and there are very small children. But these people have one thing in common. Their clothes look good, and they are not people who come from ordinary people at first glance.
Bollando suddenly changed color: "Well! How could this be, isn't this tree's mayor's family hanging on this tree? The tree is the biggest manor in the neighborhood! Where else, Is the owner of the largest winery. These people are the most important people in the town. They were actually hanged. "
"Who else will be the one who must have done it by Agulto." It seemed to Gano that the mayor's family had been hanging for several days. It seems that they were the first to clash with Agulto.
Several temple knights were standing guard in the town square. They saw Gano and Bollando wearing priest robes and hurried forward.
Bollando recognized that these people were members of the nearby Giant Rock Knights. One of them saluted two people: "Master Borlando, how come you come to this town?"
"Adio, what's going on? Why are these people hanged." Bollando stared at Adio and asked.
Adio's eyes flickered a bit. He looked at the ground and said, "These people are spies of false gods. After being found out, Master Agulto killed all of them."

"The spy of the false god? Don't you know the details of these people? The head of your giant rock knight regiment is a man from this town, it seems that he is a distant relative to the mayor here. You have several knights married The girl in the town. Does anyone stand up and say something? "
"Sir Agulto is a saint. Our leader now only listens to him alone. The mayor ... the mayor was hanged by himself."
"It's crazy."
"Sir Borlando, please, please be careful. Don't let this kind of word go to the ear of Lord Agulto. Anyone who is reported in the Knights and who talks about him behind his back, no one has a good end." Dior pointed to a tree in the distance, and some of them were sturdy men in green shirts of the Temple Knights. "Those who are our knights are hanged because they said something they shouldn't say. died."
Bollando gasped, and he crushed his anger. He rescued Adio and pulled him to the side and asked: "After these people were executed, what has Agulto been doing these days?"
"Adult, please don't embarrass me."
"There have been so many people who have seen you with us, can you make it clear?" Gano said, "then say what we want to know, and let you go."
"He ... he took up the big house in the mayor's family, arrested all the beautiful girls in the family who had been confiscated to serve him, and also arrested many women from the civilian home. Then he stayed every day. It didn't come out of the room. Just let our head come forward and catch the false believers everywhere. "Adio said.
"He is still in the mayor's house?" Gano asked.
"Yes." Adio's words just fell, and Borlando and Gano suddenly felt the surrounding air heat up.
Then Adio showed an uncomfortable expression, his face suffocated, his hands grabbed his neckline, bent down, and snarled lowly, and flames began to rise from his body.
The flame that came from nowhere swept across his body, turning him into a burning torch.
Bollando and Gano hurriedly cast water magic on him, but the fire was so fierce that the pale flame took only a very short time to burn him into coke. The flame was like a wise elemental elf, withdrew from the dark body, and then gathered a human figure on the side, the fire faded, and a strong man appeared in front of the two Gano. . He was wearing loose pajamas, showing his hairy chest, and looked at Gano and Bollando with a hint of disdain.
Gano knew without a guess that the man in front of him must be Aguerto, the holy city saint in this town. It seems that his best technique should be the field of grudge related to flames. Judging from his movements, the control of the flame has exceeded that of many magicians who are good at fire magic.
Bollando's voice trembled a little: "Sir Agulto, why did you do this?"
Agulto said: "I hate the people who talk about others behind my back. Such people tend to die very early."
