"...Thrown into the water, the one who cannot be drowned is the devil, and the one who is drowned is the human being."
How to resist the evil witchcraft of the devil?
"...Shouting the name of the Lord of Holy Light, demons will not be able to harm devout believers. Those believers who are not devout enough, our lord will not protect them... It sounds good, those who die are not devout enough? Anyway,
Even dead people cannot speak."
How to kill the devil?
"...thrown into the holy fire and burned, the devil will be burned to death. Those who cannot be burned to death... there should be no one who cannot be burned to death. There is no description of what to do if you encounter someone who cannot be burned to death. Moreover, it is not written how to throw the devil into the holy fire.
"
I threw away this booklet with helplessness. "The Exorcism Manual of the Holy Church (revised in AD324)" sounded very reliable, but the methods in it reminded me of a medieval trial in a certain world.
Witch.
"What the hell is this thing? The Holy Church has been using this thing to find devils for so many years? This is obviously a manual for murdering innocent people."
"Actually, this was originally used for religious propaganda. The devils that were able to hide among humans in the main plane before were at least high-level. Many of them were projections, incarnations, and even bastards of devil bosses.
How could an ordinary person find out the precedent of a cardinal entering a church?"
"...So, a pamphlet was issued to appease people? The crusaders who set up a barbecue were actually candlelight that made people feel at ease? It was really full of malice. It seems that the world is generally dark."
Walking through the long black corridor, Diefende's prison area is really hard to evaluate.
Probably because most of the funds were used for the renovation of the old and new cities, it may also be because when the Innocence City became a reality, the crime rate dropped sharply, most of the prisons were vacant, and the place still held the old times.
style.
Walking down the passage, the smell of dust made people couldn't help but cover their noses. The light of the torch just illuminated the empty cell. The empty atmosphere made this prison full of bloody smell a bit scary. I listened while listening
The warden responded while looking at the prisoners among them.
After excluding the warden's complaints about work, I also got the information I wanted to know. There were only 127 new prisoners in the past two months... but that was already the amount in the past six months, even so.
, there is still a strange situation where the number of jailers is several times that of prisoners.
Hearing this, I really doubt that there is any need to build a prison. This is a metropolis with a population of several million. The total number of prisoners is less than a thousand. When any crime will be arrested instantly, the crime rate is actually
Will fall to this point, and the vast majority of criminals are still impulsive criminals who commit crimes without premeditation.
"...It seems that I came at the right time. In a few months, I will be sent to hard labor."
"Yes, the number of hard laborers in the mines and stone factories is very insufficient recently. They have complained to us many times. However, I heard that they have recently begun to hire necromancer apprentices to mine with zombies and skeletons. The noble mage can actually be mined by zombies and skeletons.
Civilian employment like us is incredible in this era..."
The young jailer seemed a bit chatty, but what he said was probably what I expected.
Unlike a relatively peaceful world where the punishment system is mainly fixed-term imprisonment, the countries in Ashe's world are not so wealthy... Yes, they are wealthy. After committing a crime, the country still spends money to support him. No need to
You have to work hard and do hard labor. You can have enough food and clothing, you can get some wages, and you can live lying down. If countries like the North also use such punishments, I am afraid that the prisons will be full immediately. Countless people take the initiative to commit crimes just for a bite to eat.
Most countries in the Ashe continent treat prisoners, such as theft, and other light sentences, and then release them with hard labor for a period of time. This period usually does not exceed two years, most of the time it is only a few months, but in order not to make him feel
It was so comfortable that not only did they have to do hard labor every day, but they were also tortured regularly. When they finally left, they would have tattoos on their faces. This is a lifelong mark and a shame that requires life to wash away.
Yes, this is just a misdemeanor. After all, this is an era of troubled times and heavy laws. If it is a serious crime such as murder, it would be easier to just execute it. But in some places, they will use hard labor and demote them to slaves.
, war cannon fodder instead of death penalty, but in most cases the fate of those prisoners is worse than death.
Obviously, such punishments are very unscientific and humane. Some crimes were not serious, but they were sentenced to life-long hard labor which was equivalent to death. Some were quite harsh, but they were released after only two years of hard labor.
However, this seems normal to people in this world. After all, it has been this way for thousands of years. However, a former judge with a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder spent a lot of effort to create an extremely detailed code, ranging from punishment to punishment.
From the type to the age, the types of punishments were stipulated, and with the rise of the legal church, this system was also
As it spread, the punishment became more stringent and more in line with his crime. The core system is probably not to feed idle people but not to kill people. On the premise of ensuring the safety of the prisoner's life, work is used instead of punishment, and every means is found to make him repay.
For one's own guilt, corporal punishments that can cause disability or fatal injuries should be reduced as much as possible, and punishments such as tattooing should be cancelled.
At least for now, the reviews are good. The country saves money, and the prisoners will not die worthless, and they will have the opportunity to rehabilitate themselves. They will not have a lifelong shame written on their faces, unable to find another job, and it is very easy to embark on the path of committing another crime.
the way.
It can be said that the intervention of a certain "traveler", especially the influence of the Law Church related to it, based on the legal system, Ashe's progress in the past hundred years has probably been unmatched by tens of thousands of years ago.
No matter how good the system is, I probably never expected that there would be a shortage of criminals. Not to mention the idling of prisons, the mines that used prisoners as free workers in the past have fallen into a dilemma of labor shortage. Of course, I don't care about this.
, it is a good thing that no one commits crimes. With the rise of undead labor, the labor problem is actually not that difficult to solve.
It's winter now, and all the open-air heavy labor work areas have stopped working. If I stay two or three months later, in early spring, these prisoners will start working. By then, they will be scattered in various mining areas and factories, and we will find people.
It's too late.
It's probably less than two months since the magic reaction started in the Devil's Abyss. I just need to find someone among the prisoners in the recent period.
Instead of using the unreliable method in that booklet, I have many more direct and effective methods.
"Look, a magical compass, a detector for finding devils, the famous detective Roland's magical watch (without anesthesia needle)... Okay, let's not talk nonsense. This is the wrist wheel of a contracted hero."
In order to deal with the entire plane invasion, the contract hero system has long become a hot item. In addition to recording the plane invaders destroyed by the contract hero, it can also guide the plane invaders contaminated by the starlight network. Of course, it has high power and accuracy.
The taller radars are also larger and can only be used in churches and mercenary unions. Mass-produced wristwheels for personal use have limited detection range and accuracy, but they still tend to record the results of battles.
After the starry sky net of the divine forbidden spell covers the entire plane, any outsider who enters this plane will be smeared with the color of starlight, and the moment they enter, it is equivalent to exposing themselves to the entire plane.
location.
This cordon may not seem like a big deal, but it is increasingly playing a huge role in the war. It is possible to know the activities of the Devil's Abyss in advance and to know that many residents of the lower plane have been sent there, thanks to this network of starlight.
existence.
After all, this Starlight Net is a large-scale, sustainable forbidden spell. It has the same advantages and disadvantages as other forbidden spells. The advantage is naturally that it has a huge range and will not miss any mistakes, but the disadvantage is that it affects individuals.
The power is weak, and it can also be defended in a targeted manner.
We deployed this starry sky network at that time, in addition to encouraging the hunting behavior of the contracted heroes, the main strategic purpose was to prevent the invasion of the plane army. In this case, mass production of anti-reconnaissance magic props, or great efforts to maintain a certain
The anti-reconnaissance spells of several people are worthless.
But this time, even though the devils were exposed for a moment when they first entered, they then hid, which undoubtedly shows that they are either super casters who can wash the starlight mark, or they are wearing targeted magic armor. The former is obviously impossible, and then
who...
"Take off all the prisoners, don't leave any socks, and then test them one by one with this wrist wheel. I don't believe they can still escape." (To be continued.)
