The mayor cursed for a while, and when he saw that Rone remained silent, he misunderstood that he was afraid of offending the church, so he comforted him, "Don't be afraid, Rone.
The church stipulates that armed conflict is strictly prohibited in human gathering places. As long as he doesn't catch us blasphemous, he won't dare to do anything to us in the town."
"Okay, I'll take care of it right away." Rone nodded, turned around, and quickly walked out of the house.
"I'll tell Charlie tomorrow that the stranger has left. Be careful to avoid sight on your way to inform him, and don't tell anyone."
Rone paused for a moment, then continued walking: "Okay."
After everyone left the door, the mayor breathed a sigh of relief, not worrying too much about his orders being exposed.
He had great confidence in Rone's ability and loyalty.
After all, it was he who picked up the abandoned baby on a snowy day more than 20 years ago, brought him home, raised him to adulthood, and appointed him to the important position of captain of the garrison.
Apart from the title, it can be said that he is treated like a biological son in all aspects.
"I hope the foreign guest will take my reminder seriously." The mayor sighed, got up and went to the bedroom to rest.
After climbing up and down in the forest all day, he was so tired that he didn't even want to take a bath.
……
Rone walked into the courtyard, turned around and stared at the gate, his eyes were cold and his fists were clenched tightly.
After a long time, he turned and walked towards the church.
When he arrived at the church, he found the door closed, so he climbed over the wall and knocked on Charlie's bedroom door.
After filming for about ten minutes, Charlie finally opened the door, his eyes bloodshot.
"Rone, you'd better give me a good reason, otherwise, I will be so angry about my sweet sleep being interrupted that I will definitely burn you to ashes!"
Charlie was very angry, but Ronnie was not panicked at all and repeated his conversation with the mayor.
After hearing this, Charlie regained his composure and sneered, "Who does he think he is? A hero?"
"Bishop Charles, that guy is a magician. He didn't use any magic in the town.
The mayor did not sign the arrest warrant, so I had no right to mobilize the garrison to arrest him by force in the town, and the garrison, which was composed of ordinary people, might not be his match. "
"You can just attack directly. I believe your light magic is enough to blast him into a pile of minced meat."
"Idiot! Do you want to kill me?!"
Charlie would never dare to use violence against humans in human settlements who had not explicitly blasphemed God or actively created armed conflicts.
There is a surveillance crystal placed in the church, which can detect the magical fluctuations of magic cast in the surrounding area and record them.
When the time comes, high-ranking believers from the higher-level sect will come and interrogate him with the Crystal of Truth, and he will die a miserable death.
"Then what should I do? Should I just watch the gold coins slip away?" Rone also knew about the existence of the monitoring crystal, but he had rarely come into contact with it so he had forgotten about it. When he was scolded, he remembered it.
Charlie snorted coldly: "Slip away? Don't even think about getting a copper coin!"
Having said that, he turned and went back into the house, and when he came out he was holding a scroll in his hand.
“I have seen the stranger, and there is no magical fluctuation of the magic apprentice level coming from his body.
The garrison has more than 40 guards, including a reserve magician who practices meditation and has not yet started learning magic. You can easily take him down."
"But I've seen him cast magic."
“It’s just a disposable magic item.
In case he has other magic items on him, take it with you."
Taking the scroll, Rone looked at it curiously: "What is this?"
"Apprentice-level magic scroll. If you are worried about the heavy casualties of the garrison, use it. Just tear it open and aim it at the target."
A greedy vampire, would he be so kind?
Rone looked suspicious.
"By the way, this scroll is worth two gold coins. Let's split it equally." Charlie looked as if he was feeling pain over the gold coins.
Hearing this, he felt relieved and satisfied.
"no problem."
He agreed immediately. After all, his main purpose was to take revenge on the strangers. The gold coins were a pleasant surprise. As long as he had them, he would make a profit, and if he didn't have them, he would not lose anything either.
Charlie reminded: “The scroll also emits magical fluctuations, and it is not allowed to be used too close to the town.
Keep an eye on the entrance and exit of the town. As soon as he walks far away, immediately lead the guards to chase him and kill him in the wild."
"I understand. Also, Mayor, how are you going to deal with this?"
"I can't hide it for too long. If he meets a stranger on the street, he might go and warn him in person."
This was indeed troublesome, and Charlie was a little distressed.
Given the mayor's character, if he knew that Rone had not informed the stranger, he might personally escort him away to a safe area.
The mayor studied knightly magic, and the scroll in his hand couldn't do anything to him.
The church also strictly forbids bishops and formal believers from leaving the effective range of the monitoring crystal without permission, so I have no way to leave the town to hunt them down.
After pondering for a while, Charlie remembered a potion he had accidentally obtained that could cause temporary weakness in the user.
It just needs to be taken continuously for a week to be effective.
After sorting out his thoughts, he asked Ronay:
"Anyway, you try your best to prevent them from meeting. It won't take too long, maybe seven days. Is that a problem?"
Rone shook his head to indicate that the mayor seldom wandered around the streets, so seven days was still a relaxing period.
"very good.
You keep your eyes on the town gate. The stranger is about to go to another city. Follow him and kill him.
If they haven't left in seven days, I will personally send them off!"
Rone stared at Charlie and suddenly asked, "This town needs a mayor to maintain order. Your Excellency the Bishop, do you think I am qualified for this job?"
The church has no right to interfere in the administrative affairs of the kingdom.
But if the local bishop strongly supports the mayor of a remote town, I think the kingdom will not get angry with the church over such trivial matters.
"Of course." Charlie showed his usual gentle look, "You will be a qualified mayor."
"I sincerely thank the bishop for his support and praise God." Rone performed the knight's salute solemnly, excitedly holding the scroll and went home.
The figure walked into the darkness.
Charlie watched, the corners of his mouth slowly rising, revealing his mockery of ignorance.
He whispered, “Mayor?
If you survive the pursuit of the magic family behind the stranger, I will seriously consider it, provided that you can keep your life in my hands. "
He turned and went into the house.
"crunch-"
The two doors were closed, blocking out the little light coming from the room.
Chapter 27 Oh, I am no longer the person I was a month ago
It was just daybreak in the villa.
Su Biqing broke her usual habit of sleeping in and opened her eyes early without even setting an alarm clock.
He got up from the bed, ran to Song Lan's room in his slippers and knocked on the door.
"Sister Biqing, why are you knocking on the door so early?" Song Lan grabbed her messy hair, her eyes half asleep.
"What are Zhang Mu's hobbies? I'll come to your house when I'm ready."
The corners of his mouth twitched twice, Song Lan looked back at the electronic clock on the desk and took a deep breath:
"What the hell are you doing!
It’s only five o’clock, did you know?
How can you visit someone else's house at five o'clock? "
Su Biqing seemed to realize that she was a little too excited and waved her hands awkwardly: "It takes time to prepare gifts."
"As for you." Song Lan rubbed his eyes, "Brother Mu, well... I don't think he has any special hobbies."
"Oh, by the way, Mu's computer screensaver is an anthropomorphic cat. Maybe he likes the anime."
Two dimensions?
There were some unfamiliar words to Su Biqing, but she understood the anthropomorphic cat.
"Go to bed." After saying that, Su Biqing hurried back to her room.
"Really, we can't go at noon.
"Ha——" Song Lan muttered, yawned, pushed the door shut and got into bed.
……
The sun has just risen.
Zhang Mu lifted the quilt and brushed his teeth and washed his face.
After finishing the task, he did not call out the portal immediately. Instead, he took out his cell phone from the inventory and called Ye Ming.
After about ten seconds of beeping, the call was finally connected.
"Hey, brother, why didn't you answer my calls last night?
Fell asleep? No wonder.
It’s nothing, I just want to ask you why you said you would treat me to a meal but I haven’t heard from you in several days.
Busy? OK, I get it. I'll wait until you are free, okay."
The phone hangs up.
Zhang Mu sat on the sofa for a while, then got up and went to the vegetable market to buy rapeseed oil, soy sauce, vinegar and other condiments for cooking. He also weighed some fresh vegetables and pork and went home.
