Chapter 457: Trial, shortcut

"Isn't a demon believer? Then Hatton said that your visit to the "Mother God of Creation" is also false? Why don't you ask him to confront him?" Oug said disdainfully.
"Mother God of Creation?" the mayor murmured, with both relief and unwillingness in his eyes. Although I had felt it before, it was another matter to really say it from Oge.
"My lord, the Mother God of Creation is not a demon, he is a true god, a good god, and true, you see, my lord—" The mayor quickly put his finger in his mouth and bit a hole, and the blood flowed suddenly.
But he didn't seem to feel the slightest pain at all. He raised his fingers to Oge, and shouted: "My lord, you see, the power given by the God of Creation has a healing effect. Many people in our town have suffered from him. Help, how could he be a demon?"
Following the mayor's words, his injured finger healed almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But Oge did not move in the slightest, still did not change the previous ruling, and even urged Chateau and Zac, "Eddie, Zac, what do you think should be done?"
Whether it was a conflict of beliefs, a dispute of interests, or just because of the empire's attitude towards demons, Chateau caught in the middle regretted staying for the first time.
At this time, he can only let "Eddie" instinctively act, "Kill!"
At the same time, Zach also made his decision, the same "kill!"
"Good!" Oge clapped his hands and complimented, "Deserving of the empire's talents, it is worthy of the cultivation of the empire!"
Then he pointed out, an invisible magic missile whizzed out, pierced the mayor's head, brought out a trace of brains, and whizzed through the townspeople behind the mayor until it disappeared into the distance.
"kill!"
The ordinary soldiers who heard the order did not hesitate at all, and immediately started. The hundreds of townspeople begged for mercy, dodged, and even tried to protect with the holy power, but none of them dared to resist directly. of.
Until nearly a hundred townspeople all fell, the blood stained a large area of ​​the land, and the stench hit Xia Duo's nasal cavity. For the first time, he felt that the projection plane was so real.
On the way back, the atmosphere became a bit heavy, and everyone did not speak.
Until the team was approaching Kiran City, Ogg was called Shang Xia Duo and Zac, lagging behind, "Do you think that the empire has not announced in advance that the belief in the'Mother God of Creation' is illegal, which is very unpopular? "
Xia Duo glanced at Zach, but neither of them answered.
But Oge didn't care, but as if persuading the younger generation, he said in a calm tone: "The name'Mother God of Creation' itself is a kind of depravity! Talking too much will attract the attention of the devil, you must remember Try not to mention this name in the future."
Xia Duo nodded. The name itself does contain power. There are similar sayings on the main plane, but does this publicly-like name also have mysterious power?
But anyway, Ogg can explain it to the two newcomers. Zach has accepted it, and his expression has become much easier. As for Chateau, "Eddie" is similar, but he himself still has doubts.
At this time, he also discovered that the Arcane Empire did not have a common belief, or that the belief was the empire itself, but facing the true belief, there were still some shortcomings, especially for ordinary people at the bottom.
...
After returning to Kiran City, the Second Court gave Xia Duo two days off. On the third day, even if Xia Duo officially joined the Second Court, he did not go out as many missions as expected.
Basically, if you do it once, you can rest for two days. The time is uncertain. When a task comes, it will be triggered. However, there are still very few tasks that kill nearly a hundred people like Lettuce Town. More are investigations, and then to no avail, return.
But as long as you encounter someone related to the "Mother God of Creation", no matter how innocent or pitiful he is, he will not escape death in the end. The empire attaches great importance to this aspect and is almost an untouchable red line.
There are hundreds of small towns like Heishi Town and Lettuce Town that are actually collective farms near Kiran City. The population of these small towns ranges from hundreds to thousands.
After joining the Second Court, Chateau also gradually learned about the overall situation of the current Arcane Empire, with a total population of nearly 10 million, among which there are nearly a million spellcasters.
This number is terrible. Xia Duo knew that the total population of Netheril on the main plane was only a few million people, and there were nearly one million spellcasters here, which was unimaginable.
Thinking about it this way, there are at least 20 great arcanists in the Arcane Empire, which is not too small. Netheril has 15 people like that. Maybe they are hidden because of the so-called war of slayers, or they are dead. In the war.
...
In a blink of an eye, Chateau Projection has been in the Arcane Empire for nearly a year, and its cast level has been steadily increased to level 5. Although this rate of increase is a bit fast, it is not actually counted in the Arcane Empire with nearly a million spell casters. Too eye-catching.
At the same time, during the year, Xia Duo did a good job as a judge. Under the psychological guidance of not seeking merit, but seeking no demerits, he was successfully promoted to the fourth level of judge.
Of course, no matter how high the level of a judge is, it is useless. If you can't be promoted to a judge ~ EbookFREE.me~, you will be a grassroots civil servant for a lifetime, and a grade 5 judge is the threshold for promotion.
This requires not only the support of Shangguan, but also the achievement of his own strength. Those who are lower than the middle-level mage will not consider it at all. The "Eddie" played by Xia Duo just meets the minimum requirements.
On this day, Osker called Chateau to the First Court, which is also the headquarters of the trial court in Kiran City.
"Eddie, have you been in Kiran for almost a year?"
"Yes, my lord!"
"Have you considered how to develop in the future?"
"This—" Xia Duo didn't know how to answer. Is it because you want you to give me your seat? After thinking about it, he said, "My lord, I am going to apply for the trial department."
The Judicial Division is the superior institution of the Trial Court. Being able to enter the Judicial Division basically has the power and leisure. Promoting from the Trial Court is counted as a normal promotion route. The Trial Court of Kiran City hardly wants to be promoted to the Judicial Division.
However, the Judgment Department is not accessible to everyone. This is an absolute authority. It is different from the empire of ordinary people. The authority of the Arcane Empire controls violence, and it is impossible for even a high-level wizard to say. Just go in, it's almost the same as being caught.
Arcanists are fine, but usually arcanists will be considered as the seeds of great arcanists to join the Academy. This is completely out of the scope of Xia Duo's consideration. Even if the Academy may be exposed to more things, there is still a review. turn off.
And most importantly, Xia Duo was unable to advance the Arcanist on the projection plane. What he came here was just a projection, not the real body.
So entering the Judgment Department is a good choice. This is indeed Xia Duo's true thoughts, but what he didn't say is that he actually didn't want to enter the Judgment Department through normal channels.
As for the shortcut, Osker is right in front of him.
