There was no point in talking, so Reggie handed Dorothy over to Camilla.
In fact, for Reggie, Dorothy is a troublesome existence. He doesn't want to kill this girl because he knows that she is being used by the Punisher.
But this girl has indeed committed a serious crime. Even if she attempts to kill someone, she will be sentenced to at least several decades of hard labor, and she will completely lose hope in her life.
But teaching her to Camilla is not a good choice. Camilla will use her to do some extremely vicious things. In line with the old idiom, this should be regarded as aiding evil.
So Reggie made an attempt. He wanted to leave Camilla in Snow City, let her work in the hospital with Ima, and let Dorothy be her assistant. This would allow Snow City to get an excellent employee.
A doctor can also give Dorothy a chance to redeem herself.
"I heard Bachelo say that people who know you well call you Mi'er. Can I call you that?"
Camila looked Reggie up and down and said coldly: "Am I familiar with you?"
Reggie clenched his fists and laughed dryly: "You are such a straightforward girl."
"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry and hand over the mountain demon to me."
"Please allow me to say one more thing, just one sentence. You take Dorothy to poison others, and then you detoxify others. Do you think this kind of business is really easy to do?"
"As long as you cure one person a day, you can earn fifty silver coins, and fifteen gold coins in a month. Isn't this kind of business easy to do? I will become a rich man soon! Hahahaha!"
When it comes to money, Camila becomes extremely excited and her IQ begins to drop rapidly.
"But what if someone exposes you?"
"Then let's do business somewhere else."
"What if it's exposed again?"
"Then move to another place."
"When do you plan to switch? There will always be smart people who will see through your tricks. Do you want to live a life of escape forever?"
Camila stared at Reggie for a long time and asked: "What exactly do you want to say? Don't beat around the bush, okay?"
"What I want to say is that I can give you a more stable life. You can work in my hospital. I can pay you fifteen silver coins every month. Although it is not as much as you think, you will be happy in the future."
No need to wander anymore, you will have a warm home."
Imma took a deep breath after hearing this. She felt that the position of the dean might not be preserved.
"A warm home?" Camila smiled, "How warm can it be?"
"Uh..." This girl is really difficult to deal with. Every question she asks is difficult to answer.
"Actually what I want to say is..."
"You don't have to say it, I feel your kindness," Camila added a piece of firewood to the fireplace, then clapped her hands and said, "Just like this warm fire, there is nothing better than a fire on a winter night.
It’s even more tempting.”
Reggie nodded and said: "As long as you are willing to stay, you can enjoy the warm fire every night."
"But there will always be a time when the firewood runs out, and when that time comes, the fire will go out."
Reggie was startled. These words seemed to have a profound meaning. It seemed that this girl was far from being as simple as he imagined.
Camilla continued: "I don't want to hide it from you. I am a witch. I think Bachelot has told you. Do you know the consequences of taking in a witch?"
Reggie said: "You don't have to worry about this. I am different from other people, and Broken Snow City is also different from other places. I promise you that Broken Snow City can protect you, and I will not let others hurt you."
Camila smiled and said: "I have heard promises like this many times. Many people want to give me a home and a warm fire, but I have seen the fire go out, and I have also seen it.
What people look like after they break their promises.”
"I'm really with them..."
"I believe you are different, but I believe in myself even more. Even if you are really a wizard from Hell, the only one who can really protect me is myself."
Reggie didn't say anything more. He knew he couldn't convince this girl. She might have experienced more suffering than Reggie's previous and present lives combined.
He handed Dorothy to Camilla, and after a detoxification process of vomiting and diarrhea, Reggie and Batchelor drove Camilla and Dorothy out of the city in a carriage.
"This carriage is for you," Reggie handed the riding crop to Camila. "Good girl, I wish you good luck. If one day you are tired of wandering, the door of Shattered Snow City will always be open to you."
Camilla smiled, turned around and pinched Dorothy's cheek: "My dear, it's time for us to get on our way."
Dorothy, who was tightly tied with the rope, was still very restless. She bit Camilla's wrist and tore off a large piece of flesh.
Camila screamed in pain, looked at Dorothy angrily and said: "You are finished, there will be a lot of suffering waiting for you tonight!"
Camilla drove the carriage and quickly disappeared into the night. Reggie sighed and said, "Your friend is really special."
"She doesn't have a bad heart," Batchelor sighed, "but she never wants to trust others."
"I can understand this, but there's one thing I don't understand. Isn't the banshee a different species? Why did Dorothy become a member of the Punishers?"
Batchelor said: "As far as I know, the Heavenly Punishers in various places have a tradition of sheltering aliens, including wizards, orcs, elves, and also rare mountain monsters and sea monsters. These aliens are like wolves that have lost their wild nature.
Under the taming of the God of Punishment, he became the most loyal hound."
Reggie pondered for a long time. He could understand what Batchelor meant and could also imagine what Dorothy had experienced.
"Shirley is Dorothy's friend, maybe she will know the truth."
Batchelor said: "Compared with what happened to that girl, I am more worried about the situation in front of me. The God of Punishment has already taken action, and our situation is very dangerous."
"That's right, Grand Maester. I wonder if the guards gained anything today."
Reggie returned to the castle and immediately summoned the deputy captain of the guard, Maldi. He led the guards to search the city for a whole day, but no trace of Dr. Creed was found.
Not only Korede, but all the Punishers who appeared in the square last night have disappeared. It seems that the declaration of war they said is really not a simple provocation.
"Call Tyre to search with you. We must arrest Korede as soon as possible." Reggie felt panicked. "If something big happens, these people are really more difficult to deal with than the enemy!"
…
Standing on the rooftop of the Lord's Castle, Sophia was looking at the night view of Golden Light City.
It has been eight days. She has lived in this castle for eight full days.
Four million pounds of grain were hoarded in Golden Light City. Sophia wanted to redeem her brother with one million pounds of grain, but Nehruv and Salah rejected her request.
"This is our booty, my queen, and we cannot give it to our enemies."
The two lords were very stubborn. They insisted on waiting until the Lion Kingdom delivered the food to them before they were willing to pay the ransom to Golden Light City.
Today, she finally waited for the envoy of Lane Country, Fulf, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lane Country.
Fulf brought only eight million pounds of grain and one piece of paperwork.
The document reads: These eight million pounds of food are not compensation for the war, but a testimony to the friendship between the two countries. The dark clouds will eventually disperse. There will be no cracks in the friendship between friendly countries. The friendship between friendly countries will withstand the test of time.
The polishing of time and the baptism of years...
Sophia naturally didn't care about this nonsense. She ordered the Lion Country to hand over 12 million pounds of grain, but now it only received 8 million pounds. This is obviously intolerable.
However, the reason given by the Lion Country this time is quite sufficient:
Broken Snow City is no longer part of the Kingdom of Lane. The Kingdom of Lane no longer provides any shelter to Broken Snow City and is no longer responsible for Broken Snow City's actions.
Reggie Victor was abandoned and became a stateless lord.
Shattered Snow City became a stateless territory on the Origino continent.
In the past one hundred years, twelve stateless lords have appeared on the Origino continent. They all suffered the same fate, being frantically besieged by the surrounding countries.
If you choose to resist, you will die in battle, if you choose to surrender, you will be executed. No country is willing to take in the expelled lord, but all countries like the ownerless land.
Just like a steak placed in the center of the dining table, everyone wants to cut a good piece of meat from it, and countries with a big appetite want to devour it in one bite.
The expelled lords all faced the same outcome, losing their territory within a year and losing their lives at the same time.
Reggie Victor, how long can you hold on?
There can be no further delay, Sean is facing danger at any time.
Sophia took a sip of ale and immediately issued an order. She would personally take one million pounds of grain to Shattering Snow City to redeem her brother.
