Marwan shivered in the cold wind, partly because of the cold and partly because of fear.
Alcohol can bring some courage to a person, but it can never change a person's nature.
Marwan Rudd was a coward who only dared to hurt his family. Under the influence of alcohol, he dared to act wildly against the Grand Master, but when he saw Reggie and the heavily armed guards behind him, he immediately changed his way of speaking and attitude.
"Lord, I discovered that my daughter is a witch. Now I want to exercise the power of a father. I want to burn her to ashes."
"Burn her to death!"
"Burn this witch!"
"Burn her to death!"
The onlookers who had just calmed down became agitated again. They came to see the witch burned alive, not to see the lord gibbering. Slandering the lord was not a big deal. They had enough to eat and drink, and cursed the lord a few times.
An important pastime for civilians after dinner.
In a remote place like Broken Snow City, even aliens don't bother to get close. The last time I saw a burning wizard was two years ago, and the person who was burned was an old man in his sixties, which was not interesting at all.
This time, a beautiful girl in her prime was burned, and they didn't want to miss such a wonderful show. In difficult times, bad guys have to find a way to vent their resentment. How can they let trivial things of no importance affect everyone's interest?
.
People's voices became more and more violent, and some people had already started throwing stones into the center of the square. It was not clear whether they wanted to throw stones at Natalie or Reggie.
Erwin tried his best to maintain order, but the situation still got out of control.
"Burn her! Burn her! Burn her!"
It is really hard to imagine that a group of civilians who have never received any musical training can shout a slogan so neatly and loudly with a certain sense of rhythm without anyone directing them.
Standing in the middle of the square, Reggie felt a little dazed. It had been a long time since he came to this world. Reggie had never thought he would be so disappointed tonight.
He thought of a literary master in his previous life, and the ignorant, numb and cruel spectators in his works, and even thought of the human blood steamed buns written by the master.
These bastards are worse than spectators. They are killing people. They know they are killing people, but they still feel that they represent justice.
Reggie wanted to scold them, but couldn't find the right words.
Whenever he couldn't find the right word, he would think of his mother tongue.
"You **** idiots! Are you crazy? You dare to kill people under the eyes of the lord! Do you think you are awesome? Believe it or not, I will catch you all in the dungeon! The men will do hard labor, and the women will do hard labor.
You... are also doing hard labor! All of you xxxx people are from xxxx. If you give birth to a girl, you will not have sex, and if you give birth to a boy, you will not have sex..."
The furious Reggie cursed all the curse words. Although the onlookers could not understand the strange language in his mouth, they realized one thing. Their lord seemed to be an alien.
Some people say he is a wizard, some say he is an elf, and still others say he is an orc, a mountain demon, and the like.
There are many versions of the legend, but from what we can see, their lord does not seem to be on their side.
People gradually became quiet, and Reggie turned to look at Marwan behind him.
"Tell me," Reggie's language returned to normal, "how do you know your daughter is a witch!"
"This is what happened..." Marwan described the process. Of course, he would selectively ignore part of the plot, and at the same time adjust the character's position appropriately.
In his mouth, the story version became like this:
On a quiet winter night, the family was happily enjoying dinner in the house. As a father, he reprimanded his daughter for some impolite behavior. The father and daughter had a quarrel. The angry Natalie was caught in the lightning flash.
During the thunder, she transformed into a wizard and blew her from the house to the street with a gust of evil wind, and beat her mother and brother crazily.
The whole process was described by Marwan as bloody and terrifying, and the onlookers screamed from time to time.
But to Reggie's ears, such a lie was full of mistakes and not worth reading.
"You said your daughter can control the wind?"
"Yes, my lord."
"How did she control the wind? Did she use some special spell or some special ritual?"
"Uh..." Marwan pursed his lips and his eyes quickly wandered away. He wanted to formulate a lie, but unfortunately Reggie wouldn't give him that much time.
"Answer me!"
"She, she is... I'm sorry, Lord Lord, I was very scared at the time. I didn't see clearly what she did."
"Okay, even if you didn't see clearly," Reggie asked again, "she blew you from the house to the street with a gust of wind, and then what?"
"Then...no, no more, my lord."
"Why is she tied here?" Reggie pointed at Natalie and asked, "What are the scars on her body? How did you subdue her?"
"I, I, I am..."
"Answer me!"
"I got a knife, I burst into the house, I stabbed her in the shoulder and then I overpowered him."
This sentence is somewhat true, although Marwan reversed the chronological order.
Reggie looked Marwan up and down and asked, "You mean, you subdued a witch with a knife."
"Yes, yes, sir."
The onlookers laughed again, this lie was too outrageous.
Many people know how much Marwan weighs. The drunken Marwan likes to provoke, but as long as he dares to take action, he will definitely be beaten. Not to mention that he cannot subdue a witch, even a stronger woman.
, may beat him to the point where he doubts his life.
"You are so brave," Reggie sneered, "Why haven't I seen you on the battlefield?"
Marwan pointed at his face and said: "I, I was trying to save my wife and son. I was also injured. I fought to the death to subdue the devil."
"He lied!" Josephine ran all the way and finally arrived at the square. She was panting and pointed at Marwan and shouted, "I inflicted the wounds on his face!"
The crowd burst into laughter again, and Reggie couldn't help but laugh.
"Mrs. Josephine, why did you hit him?"
"This beast always tortured Natalie. This beast is not qualified to be a father at all! I wanted to teach this beast a lesson. I beat him and let him take revenge on me at any time. I really didn't expect that this beast actually wanted to
Burn Natalie to death..."
Mrs. Josephine burst into tears, and everyone's attitude seemed to have changed.
Judging from Josephine's personality, she should not be able to lie.
Judging from Marwan's reputation, he can indeed do such a thing.
Reggie looked at Marwan and remained silent for a while.
Marwan lowered his head, shaking into a ball in the cold wind.
"I'll give you another chance," Reggie whispered, "tell me, what happened?"
"I, I am..." Marwan's eyes looked behind Reggie. Reggie turned around and saw an elegant middle-aged woman walking out of the crowd.
"My companions and I helped Mr. Rudd," the woman said calmly. "Maybe Mr. Rudd is not a good father, but he still has the power to execute a witch."
Abigail Creed, the best doctor ever in Broken Snow City.
She also has another identity, the leader of the "Heaven Punisher" in Shattering Snow City.
Because Reggie built the first hospital, Abigail's reputation in Shattered Snow City plummeted.
Now, she wants to declare her status and power to Reggie.
