Hill thought for a moment and placed a clock tower-like building in the middle of the camp, but in the small tower on the top floor where the clock was hung, there was a semi-artifact-level oil painting placed.
Being relatively high from the ground, it is not so easy for people to confess. Even if there is something wrong with the camp, Hill cannot lock everyone out and investigate slowly. He can only put them all in and talk about it later.
But he had to take precautions, so he put the oil painting up.
The semi-artifact-level oil painting already has some spirituality, and with Hill's ability, he can communicate easily.
Rather than letting Liszt see it and then activating the magic circle punishment later, Hill preferred to do it in one step.
As long as someone does something evil, the evil beam will be shot directly from the tower, regardless of the severity of the crime, all will be treated equally, and even if they cannot die, they will be thrown out of the camp.
Hill stood by the window and looked at the people getting off more than thirty carriages of various shapes below.
He frowned: there were two to three hundred people, most of them were old and weak, and the driver who drove the carriage could see obvious disabilities.
If there are any adults, they are a few pregnant women and their families.
Hill sighed helplessly. The origins of these people could be understood at a glance.
There are always some people who will be justified in giving up.
Hill gently raised his hand holding the window, and did not look at the people dressed as mages who were talking to Liszt.
Several stone houses were erected around the bell tower. It was impossible for him to let these people live in the open air.
Although it is already spring, it is still very cold here in the north, so Hill has not set up a weather-changing array in this camp.
Those who noticed that the house had been erected looked around, and then quickly led by those who were talking to Liszt, bowed to the Magic Tower to thank them.
Hill's eyebrows moved, and he saw an acquaintance: the little mage who came to trouble him.
Alice walked out of the wind barrier. She held the flying screen and looked at the people outside: "Why are there so many children?"
"Sir." Liszt came back, "The 16th-level mage who is still alive in Reyes City received the giant ship sent by the undead and left with most of the people in the city.
These people were abandoned. They originally wanted to go to the Star Gate in a carriage, but the current situation is too dangerous, so they can only come to us for help."
"Why? Aren't they all ordinary people?" Alice asked puzzledly, "Why would you give up on these people and there are so many children!"
"These children have no parents." Liszt explained softly, "They don't even know why the people in the city ran away. The same goes for the old people, who don't have any family members. They live alone at home and don't know anything."
"You mean, no one notified them to evacuate?" Alice grabbed the veil and looked up at Liszt in surprise, "But why? Aren't there a lot of places on that kind of ship?"
"There is no food!" Liszt sighed, "The mage only plans to take away those who can bear their own living expenses, and he does not have enough supplies.
The following people are all people he can only keep. If a well-informed person knows the news about the spaceship, he has no intention of refusing to take them with him. But those who hide in the corner and have no contact with anyone can
Was given up directly.”
"Reyes is so rich, why does he have no supplies?" Hill asked puzzledly, "Although the undead have been there once, they will not do anything that harms people's supplies."
"Because the nobles and big businessmen left first, taking a large amount of resources to the City of Gold Coins. They felt that the undead's method of eradicating evil was too terrifying.
As nobles and businessmen, they absolutely cannot guarantee that they will not do bad things.
When they left, they almost emptied the entire city.
In Reyes City, it is said that there is only enough food left for the whole city to feed the people of the city for several months, and prices have been skyrocketing for some time.
The reason why these old and weak people can't go out is because they are too hungry and almost live by drinking water and chewing turf."
Liszt shook his head before continuing: "That level 16 mage seems to be a typical battle mage and doesn't understand these things at all.
There was still no chaos in Reyes City, but it was all suppressed by his force.
But he’s not that compassionate either, he still has to support his own apprentice and his apprentice’s relatives!”
"What's going on with those mages? And those disabled coachmen?" Hill didn't mention the level 16 mage again. Maybe what this mage did was somewhat criticized, but in fact no one can blame him.
.
As soon as he heard it, he understood that this mage was the kind of person who stayed in his magic tower all year round and didn't mind his own business. If the nobles hadn't abandoned the city and left, he wouldn't have meddle in his own business at all.
"Those mages are not high-level, and the highest one is the 12th-level mage Hogan. I think sir, you still remember him." Liszt couldn't help but smile, "They are all so-called official mages, Reyes
He was trained in the city. When the undead occupied the city, they surrendered directly.
Unexpectedly, the undead people ran away again after a sweep, and they were squeezed out by the local forces.
The good thing is that we know that the undead are here and will go to Reyes at any time, so no one dares to hurt them.
However, they could only hide in the city hall and dare not go out.
But unexpectedly, someone set up a soundproof circle outside their residence. They didn't find out until they saw the ship flying away and rushed outside.
The mage just sent people to circle the city and shouted, and then the people who had been waiting for a day flew away.
Those pregnant women did not catch the spaceship because they were unwell, but fortunately their families stayed behind."
Hill lowered his head and watched the mages arranging people to enter the stone house in an orderly manner, showing no fear at all about the constantly shaking earth.
The children and the elderly also showed great obedience, and those with disabilities also untied the horses from the carriages and pulled them to the corner of the camp.
He couldn't help but praise: "It looks pretty good. Did they organize these people to come to my side? Are they wounded soldiers?"
"They were knight squires who were abandoned by the army. The knights left them in the wounded barracks outside the city, and then ran away with the nobles themselves.
The wounded knight is a noble, but not all the squires are."
Hill took a long breath: "Do they have enough food?"
"It's enough." Liszt suddenly showed a strange smile, "Those mages knew everything about the city lord's palace. After finding out that they were abandoned, they first found the wounded soldiers, gathered them up and found something was wrong, and ran away
The old people and children who came out dug several secret granaries in the city lord's palace.
It is said that only the city lord himself knows about those granaries, but these mages found them easily.
If those people hadn't squeezed out these mages, they would have been able to get enough food to feed Reyes City for several years, and they wouldn't have had to flee in such a hurry, not even taking their belongings with them."
Alice, who had been listening attentively, suddenly laughed crisply: "Oh! This is really good."
She always hated people who hurt children, so Alice felt very happy knowing that these people would not get this benefit.
I have absolutely no intention of listening to what Liszt said.
Hill shook his head and smiled. Even if these mages wanted to use these grains as a vote to take over Reyes City in the future, he had nothing to say.
Although they were selfish, they still did not abandon these old and weak people in the end. No matter what the reason was for them to do so, Hill would not look down on them.
"Are we still going to stay here?" Alice asked curiously, "Why don't we go to the Star Gate?"
"There's no rush." Hill said nonchalantly, "There must be a lot of chaos over there at the Star Gate. Don't forget, the Star Gate can't be opened every day. Normally, the next time it's opened would be two months later.
If you want to open it urgently, you only have one chance.
At present, there is no reaction from the gods outside the world, which means that the danger is not yet to that level.
Not every god is willing to bear the sin of collapsing the world, unless they can guarantee that the last blow was struck by the Five-Colored Dragon Queen.
But the dragon queen still has to protect her own eggs! Even though she seems to be fighting fiercely, she will never dare to destroy the world.
We are safe for the time being, and if something happens suddenly, our side will be the last to collapse, so my spaceship will be enough."
"Why didn't she leave with the dragon egg?" Alice looked at the battlefield in the south, "What's the point of fighting like this?"
"This can only mean that this dragon egg has reached the final stage of incubation. Once it fails, the little dragon inside will either die or be disabled. The best result is to return to the initial state of hatching.
The Five-Colored Dragon Queen will not give up until the end."
"Is a little dragon evil when he is born?" Alice asked strangely, "Doesn't he have a chance to be a good dragon?"
"It's very difficult." Hill sighed and said, "It's very difficult. Unless his innate dragon soul is very powerful and can completely suppress the evil genes brought by his parents.
Moreover, he must be nourished by the kindness circle and instill etiquette and morality in him from an early age.
But he is the child of the Dragon Queen, and as long as he is alive, the Dragon Queen can find him."
Alice nodded and slowly walked back to the sofa. She understood clearly that there were only two outcomes for this unborn little dragon, either to die or to become an evil member.
And those of them who are watching can only wait for one result.
Liszt opened the defensive array to the highest level again, and the Dragon Queen roared again.
"Bahamut! I'm going to eat you!"
Hill was stunned for a moment. Something happened to the dragon egg?
"Hahaha! Why are you so angry?
This is the blessing of the golden spring water, which will not only turn your child into a beautiful woman, but also purify her soul and make her feel the beauty of the world!"
The elven goddess of life is also involved!
Hill didn't find it too strange. The Five-Colored Dragon Queen also destroyed elven towns. Countless elves died at her hands. Not to mention that there were elves in this world at the beginning.
It's just a little strange, who came up with such a damaging method of revenge?
