Chapter 335: Bounty (Part 2)
Chapter 335: Reward (Part 2)
Nicholas still just smiled and said, "If you want to be angry, I can't do anything."
When Nelis killed people in the street, there would naturally be merchants dissatisfied. However, they recognized Salin and thought that the two Yunliu merchants had collided with the city lords of the city. No one was in agitation. Just as they were about to disperse, a guy dressed in Skochenya suddenly jumped out and shouted: "Lord Salin, your people are so cruel, we can't stay in this city!"
This time, Nicholas immediately took action, and a black light flashed between his fingers, which happened to fall on the forehead of the Skochenya merchant. Then, a black symbol appeared above the Skochenya merchant's head, hanging in the air.
Nicholas took two steps forward and waved to the Skochenian.
Naskochenya looked pale, and Nicholas said, "You are a mark of evil, at the cost of burning your vitality, and this mark will always be above you and cannot be hidden. Unless, unless you die. If you want to live, tell me why you do this."
This move is even more cruel than Neris. If this person leaves, he will slowly exhaust his life.
The Skochenians were speechless and wanted to leave, but felt that their vitality was indeed passing by quickly. If this continued, they would die of old age in at most half a year!
"Unlock it for me!" The merchant didn't know what the evil mark was, and wanted to bewitch people's hearts. He was about to say something threatening, but Nicholas spoke again.
"You are from the Holy See, right? I smelled a familiar smell. Be careful, spies from the Holy See are infiltrated into the city. These people want to assassinate the city lord, otherwise he is a businessman, why should he risk offend the city lord? Is he here to make money or for some noble ideals?"
Nicholas was knowledgeable, but his words were different versions of a proverb from Skochenya.
For Skochenya, making money is always more important than ideals. In other words, most Skochenya believe that money is ideals.
The people around him dispersed, and Nicholas's words were far more effective than weapons. Everyone was puzzled. Since this person was a Skochenya, why should he stand up for a Yunliu person? And he scolded the city lord in person. Don't he want to make money anymore?
Salin was a little embarrassed. The reputation of this Skochenya didn't seem to be very good.
"You!" The Naskochenian pointed at Nicholas, but found a trace of white holy light on his fingers.
"Want to purify me?" Nicholas sneered, and a black bug flew out of his hand, exploded on the finger of the Skochenian, breaking the finger pointing to him.
The Skochenians were speechless, and the holy light was created by Nicholas.
After seeing it, Salin was amazed that the Holy See's charlatan was powerful. He made the Skochenya fall into a trap with just a few words. Of course, the Skochenya is not clean, he must have known something, or he is also an assassin at all.
There is no way to get into the city assassins. However, I stayed in the temple all year round, and the patrolers there were Caucasians and undead, so outsiders couldn't get into it.
What Salin was afraid of was that these people assassinate merchants in the city and create chaos.
At this time, another team of soldiers walked by, saw Salin, and bowed. Neris pointed at the Skochenya and said, "This is a spy from the Holy See, arrest him."
This team of soldiers was extremely afraid of Neris because there were already rumors in the army that a female slave next to the city lord was a demon.
While admiring the city lord, they also developed a fear of Neris from the bottom of their hearts.
Fortunately, the city lord is a powerful mage and must have tamed this demon. His fear of the demon has increased his worship of Salin. These people do not understand magic and do not know what the contract is. They have evil thoughts in their hearts - that demon must have fallen in love with the city lord, so they committed themselves.
Now Neris spoke, and these soldiers tied up the Skochenya. The Skochenya wanted to resist, but he had a big move and even tried a little harder, and he found that the power could not be gathered. It seemed that a small hole was opened on his head. Once he used force, the power flowed out of the small hole.
He was a level 4 assassin who was hit by Nicholas with the level 7 Fallen Magic. It was a joke to resist.
"Take it to the school and leave it to the mage for interrogation." Salin briefly explained, and then continued to walk towards the temple. The merchants all dispersed. None of them wanted to cause trouble, and they were smart enough to know that there would be strange things here, and they were afraid of causing trouble.
Entering the temple area, Salin then smiled and said, "Nicholas, your evil mark is very interesting."
"Lord, this magic... is indeed evil. As long as you are hit, you will lose the ability to resist. In the Holy Church, this is the most common method to deal with heresy."
"heresy?"
"Well, as long as you are hit by this magic, you will become a heretic if you are not a heretic." Nicholas explained.
Salin asked in surprise: "Isn't this a false accusation?"
"For God, no matter what you do, it is justice." Nicholas's voice became more and more bitter. He found that once he was no longer a member of the Holy See, his previous actions could be said to be extremely evil.
When the group returned to the temple, Salin gave Nicholas the drawings of the Blade Blade and asked him to help redesign them. He and Neris returned to the room to rest. His left hand had not yet been completely improved, and he was slow to practice new magic, and it was very difficult.
In less than an hour, someone came to repay him, and the Skochenya confessed.
Salin didn't go to see the prisoner in person, and the matter was generally very simple. The Holy See issued a reward order, and whoever could kill Salin would get a reward of 100,000 gold coins.
One hundred thousand gold coins are enough for many people to fight for their whole life. The nobles under the earl will consider taking risks for this bounty.
At the same time, Salin also learned that Dinicio was not targeting him alone, and many of Qin Yin’s famous nobles were on the list of rewards.
This move is fine against the Skochenya people, but the effect is much worse against the Qin Yin people. The Qin Yin nobles are all very reliable people. The credit of the Holy See has always been questioned by Qin Yin, so naturally few people are moved, but Yun Liu and Skochenya are different.
There are many assassins among Yunliu people, and many of them are desperate mercenaries. When they hear this news, there will naturally be many people who will try it.
The Holy See has been released for a while, but Salin added it. These assassins had already entered Metatlin before the arrival of the Expeditionary Force. However, Metatlin was closely controlled and Salin rarely appeared, so they never got a chance.
"Bonus? I can do this too!" Salin laughed. He didn't take the reward from the Holy See. As long as he stayed in the temple honestly, there were so many strong people around him, even if Byrne came, he could not assassinate himself.
"Master, why are you spending this money? Holy Rock City also offers a reward, asking the heads of the people in the Holy See."
"Why don't I know?"
"You are the city lord and the king. Can you assassinate yourself?"
"Nelise, I ask you if you have taken all the heads of the corpses on the battlefield!"
"Master, those who can't sell for a lot of money are all low-level magicians." Naris replied shyly. She also knew that the master would not care about this little money with her.
Of course, Salin doesn't care. Neris is greedy for money, which is different from humans. She basically takes up resources out of the instinct of a demon. And Neris also has an interesting point, which is that she likes to find a human feeling. This is the reason she rewards the first team of soldiers today.
"Well, I'm not in danger. It's just that ordinary people in the city will be harmed. You... say to Shika and ask her to send more people to search."
"Master, assassins can't stir up storms. When will the arena you plan to start?"
"July, Daniel's staff is still insufficient. I'm going to wait for the nobles to provide staff."
“We do it ourselves?”
"Yes, who told them to avoid this matter at the beginning, don't underestimate the income in the arena. Although it is not as good as magic cores and ores, it is real. Every day there is income and can support a lot of people.
Seeing that Neris didn't quite understand, Salin said: "There are always some idle people in the city. If these people have nothing to do, they will become hidden dangers, or be poor, become thieves, or be bought by the enemy, and do things that destroy the city. The arena can absorb such people and become our own strength. The operation of the arena itself, and the capital investment will feed these people by the way, and there is no need to leave the town hall."
Neris said: "I still don't understand. I'm a demon anyway, so I don't need to understand. Master, you are working hard to advance to the magician. What am I doing during this period?"
"Nelise, the Castlevania can be built in at most half a year. Please communicate with Shikado and teach her the knowledge of the Demon Plane. Didn't you say that Castlevania let her manage it?"
"I'm just saying that it's true that management depends on the demon."
"Are you cheating on Seka?" Salin asked with some dissatisfaction.
"It's not a lie. Master, don't let Sister Shika face a group of demons all day long. She will be the nominal city lord and can also command the big demons under her. However, it's best to find other people in the daily management of this Devil Castle."
"Why?"
"Master, it's okay that the wise among the demons are high, but the low-wise demons are bloody. Sister Shika is a priest. She is not in a good mood when it comes to this all day long."
"Then you say, who will manage the Castlevania, can't I go?"
Neris was also embarrassed. There were many loyal people around Salin, but not many powerful people. Everyone had their own things to do and could not separate themselves.
