After they chatted for a while about Denisoya's situation, Annan made an excuse to put the blackbird away in the name of asking him to buy some sober drinks for the two of them.
Blackbird is an old civil servant.
Although Annan's excuse was not very good, he immediately realized that His Majesty was planning to get rid of him.
So he understood immediately and knew that he wouldn't have to come back for a while.
He took Charlie and the two "distinguished guests" and left the tavern together.
"Please wait a moment, you two. There is a good yogurt shop across the street...I'll be right back."
Blackbird bowed respectfully to the two of them, and left with Charlie wisely.
The reason why I took Charlie with me is because sometimes dogs can understand people. This is especially true for extraordinary creatures.
He didn't want the other party to think that he kept Charlie just to eavesdrop on their conversation - in that case, Charlie might die.
The thick, pure black double-breasted trench coat he wore made the locals instantly recognize his identity - a police detective in black and a mounted policeman in white, both extraordinary beings who had revealed their identities.
And to be treated with such respect by a police detective...
Then it can only be a big noble that cannot be offended.
So the crowd started to walk around them without even daring to look up at them.
There is a large circle on the street centered on Annan and Isaac.
But this kind of "knowledge" and "respect" did not make Annan feel happy... instead it only made him feel sad.
Isaac on the side just lowered his eyes, pursed his lips and said nothing.
But it can also be seen that he is also sad that his people "respect the nobility" so much.
Whether it's Noah, Winter, the Theocracy or the underground city... Even if the citizens there are afraid of the nobles, they are definitely not afraid of being like this. People with a little bit of ability - even Airei's father, the painter,
He dared to go to the Viscount's house every day and paint pictures for the Viscountess, and he was not afraid of it.
And the captain of the guard of Don Juan's family even dared to directly kill his master.
As for the assassins of the royal family, from Noah to Winter, Annan has seen them in person countless times...
However, in the United Kingdom, where the royal family has the weakest power and even has a "parliament of upper and lower houses", such a thing is least likely to happen.
The reason is actually very simple.
Because both Noah and Winter have to pay attention to their dignity. Maybe during the war, in order to maintain the stability of the rear, law enforcement may be a little stricter.
But hundreds of years have passed since the end of the bloody battle.
All countries are more respectable.
The death penalty is basically the most severe punishment.
Noah's most cruel punishment was the "Silver Punishment", in which people were directly poured to death with liquid silver.
But this punishment has not been used for more than 120 years. Nowadays, hanging is generally used - beheading the capital is almost no longer used.
There used to be "snow burials" for people there in the cold winter.
The specific method is to tie the person up, carefully pour several basins of boiling water over the whole body, burn the whole body, and then directly untie the person and throw him out of the city.
Injuries caused by being scalded by boiling water and completely wet clothes will cause people to gradually freeze to death in the snow. Even if they try hard to survive and try to take off their clothes, it is basically impossible to survive. In the end, they will only be twisted in pain
Died outside the city.
And before they die, they will even feel that the snow is hot. These corpses will naturally be covered by the snowstorm and eventually hidden.
Whether the criminal law is serious or light generally just depends on "how many basins of water to pour on it." If the crime is more serious, you may be boiled directly, so there is no need to throw it out...
Nowadays, this process has been simplified - or civilized. For prisoners with lighter punishments, they are simply thrown out and left to die; while the death row prisoners are all fed to frost beasts, and there are no longer public executions.
Without pouring boiling water in advance, the survival probability of the "exile" has been significantly improved.
Probably from two decimal places after the decimal point to one decimal place before the decimal point.
Simply an epic improvement.
The situation underground is rather special. After all, every city has its own laws. It is not ruled out that there are dark areas like Saltpeter Ranch, where people are caught in chaos and come to "plant" Saltpeter.
But in most cases, the diggers usually don't bother to carry out executions - because as long as the condemned prisoners can escape the city, they are no longer condemned.
After all, underground, laws are not universal between different cities, and crimes are not inherited.
As for the Theocracy, Annan was not very familiar with it. However, there were no cases of cruel executions there... Only the United Kingdom was different.
Because the crime rate at Denisoya is "very low", few death row inmates will be executed.
Ninety-nine percent of those pirates are villains - they will really use all means to torture "people who can kill at will" before killing Shen Hai. In order to maintain their dominance and control in this area,
The right to speak, this kind of "torture" is public in most cases.
For a wanted criminal like "Poisonous Hand", the real reasons why he is wanted are actually the first two - trying to assassinate nobles and plundering official ships. Because of the latter two, almost any pirate would be guilty of it, but they
Just deliberately not pursuing it.
This power to arrest almost anyone at any time is also the reason why nobles have a higher status than police detectives and mounted policemen.
Even pirates must be respectful when seeing nobles.
Because each of them has a real "handle".
And this is precisely because of the deliberate laissez-faire of the nobles...
"Did you see...this is where I was born."
Isaac raised the corner of his mouth to one side, revealing a sarcastic smile: "It's really no different from a hundred and sixty years ago.
"From the very beginning, they had no intention of making Denisoya better even a little bit. They just wanted to rule Denisoya from generation to generation."
"You look quite happy now."
"Because I think you can tell...Danny Sawyer is going to be in chaos."
Isaac smiled brightly, showing a gloating chuckle: "Those high-ranking aristocratic gentlemen may not realize the seriousness of the problem at all.
"In their eyes, these pirates are obedient and obedient. They come and go when called like dogs. They are killed directly and do not dare to say anything when they are executed... If they really try to strangle their lifeblood, they will not act like that.
Just like those civilians waiting to die."
"really."
Annan was also a little worried.
But he's not worried about Danny Sawyer - he's worried about his reputation.
When Annan was still Black Annan, he stayed in the cold winter.
So there were two groups of rebels in the cold winter, which lasted for five or six years. As soon as the civil strife subsided, the Noah royal family immediately began to kill each other, seamlessly... Later, it was learned that Annan did not know when he arrived in Noah.
In fact, when Noah's chaos first started, Annan hadn't even gone there yet. He was traveling around the world at that time and went to every place for a while.
Finally, as soon as Noah's old king received Annan, he immediately burst into tears.
Annan immediately "ran back to Winter in fear" - and as soon as he returned, the Grand Duke of Winter also burped. The Northland nobles in Winter immediately began to rebel, and Annan's frost beast troops directly bulldozed the Northland nobles.
, killing heads rolling in.
Before things calmed down here, Annan ran to Noah... Then Philip and Elizabeth immediately started fighting, and one died suddenly and the other caused a big problem. Kafni, who had the best relationship with Annan, successfully succeeded to the throne.
.
When Annan fled to the United Kingdom, the civil war began within a month after landing. If Annan's guess was correct, 80% of the old king's head would also be lost.
Annan was very sad.
Why do you die so regularly? It seems as if it really has something to do with me...
I obviously didn't do anything, I was just passing by!
If this continues, Grand Duke Annan will become an unparalleled conspirator in the world!
He even began to wonder if Black Annan had indeed arranged it this way...
