DNF, made by the ancient gods

Katu ignored this person, his eyes shifted, and he scanned all the "representatives" present.

"What now?"

"..."

An endless silence enveloped everything here. The overly quiet atmosphere made people feel depressed from the bottom of their hearts. They looked at each other, but they didn't dare to talk about it.

"Is there any other way..."

The silence seemed to entangle these people, until a person who should not exist in the world gently pushed the door open, and the "creaking" sound of the wooden door broke the strange silence.

"I'm late."

The calm-faced magician walked slowly. He was originally one of the representatives of the "highly respected" invited, but a child was dying and fell ill, so he had to go and see it first.

After all, most of the doctors in the town have already moved away because of such a "cheap miracle doctor"—no one would be willing to compete with such a freak, except for those newborns who are not afraid of tigers...

But unfortunately, as a novice, their fees are still higher than the charges of this "miracle doctor"... If they really go to see a doctor according to the "miracle doctor" charging standard, they will probably have to lose all their capital.

"No, everyone knows what you did. That's an important and good thing... But we, Mr. William, are sorry for letting you see our incompetent side."

If it weren't for the letter written by Baige imitating the mayor's handwriting, they might still be arguing with the mayor... But unfortunately, they are already "desperadoes" now.

——For the majesty and order of the entire empire, they have been listed as the group of people who must die.

After a while, it seemed that he couldn't find anything to say, and Katu looked at Baige who was standing aside and had no intention of taking a seat, and sighed a little:

"Mr. William, you have helped us a lot. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't even know that the mayor of this town has embezzled so much money... But you are not from this town, and there is no need to stay with us. Look at us...you understand the situation here now, right?"

"If you stay here, you will be regarded as a mob in this town, and then killed by the army sent by the empire."

As an upright person, Katu still has a good conscience. He knows that this matter has "nothing to do with" Baige, so he also tries his best to protect this "kind" doctor.

After a while, Baige slowly opened his mouth.

"Are you trying to die?"

"What does it mean?"

The tone was a little surprised.

"We have... no way out."

But his words were not what Baige wanted to hear.

"Don't you think about your own family? You should be clear that if the army comes to suppress it, the biggest possibility is that the villagers who participated in the incident will be killed and hanged in the square, and the townspeople who participated in this incident, How to tell?"

——So, they will "slaughter".

Said the most likely "fact" in a calm tone, and then put the real "choice" in front of them.

"Have you ever thought about... changing?"

Chapter 039 The Magician and Tranquility

"Change?"

"Have you ever thought about it?"

Unhurriedly relaying the "experience" from another world to these uncivilized civilians, he does not require them to understand deep truths, but only requires them to "resist".

"Why—"

"The powerful are human beings, and the common people are also human beings, but why is there such a huge gap between the common people and the powerful, one lives in heaven and the other lives in hell."

"Why—"

"The common people work hard on the land, in exchange for a truly miserable life of poverty, while the rich and powerful sit in their seats every day, without farming or worrying about their livelihood, but they can live in luxury and corruption, with rich clothes and fine food. "

"Have you ever thought about it? Why is all this, and why is all this?"

The scarlet eyes gave people a sense of deterrence, as if they would sink into the sea of ​​blood formed by countless blood if they looked at it too much.

"We were born on the same land, but why do we enjoy unfair treatment? We are both part of the empire, but why are we born to be inferior? We are also born to be human, but why are we born to serve? The rich and powerful, survive under their teasing and oppression?"

The corners of "Mr. William", known as the "miracle doctor", raised his mouth slightly. He was convincing like a politician full of absolute confidence.

"Here, I can introduce myself again."

"William, I used to be a doctor...but that not too short a medical career has made me understand-studying medicine can't save the world, so..."

"The me now is just an ordinary person pursuing ideals...an ordinary person who wants to watch a new era be born."

"—a new age of freedom and equality."

Some special terms are not understood by these commoners, but human emotions are common and contagious, and... their knowledge is not enough to understand what the "class system" is, so choose this A more "simple" and "brutal" explanation is more useful.

"Everyone, do you have that idea?"

All eyes focused on "Mr. William", and this elegant young man nodded slightly, his words seemed to carry a kind of magic power.

"—take a look at the 'free' and 'equal' society."

"Damn it, why is it so cold today..."

Urto rubbed his palms, but what should come will always come - the leading tax collector in front has already dismounted, so naturally his subordinate can't be forced to sit on the horse's back... Otherwise, it would be disrespectful .

In the empire, if lower-level officials are disrespectful to higher-level officials, the problem can be serious.

"What are you complaining about when you have a good job?"

The colleague patted the horse, followed the people in front of him to tie the horse in the stable, and then walked over trembling, exhaling heat.

"It's colder, but you have to think about it, how much oil and water can we fish here? Just like this time, as long as the higher-ups are willing to find an excuse, they can launch taxation at any time, and we will... Hehe, you again Compare it to other positions, especially those soldiers who fight life and death, and you can see how comfortable our work is."

It has only been half a year since the old You Tiao started to join this new colleague, who is still a little uncomfortable with this model. The most important thing in their job is the distribution of benefits. Even if he doesn't explain it to this colleague, The "soup" given to him by the superior will still not be a little more, so it is better to explain the matter clearly and get in touch with this colleague.

"You must be very lucky to be able to enter this position. After all, there is a lot of oil and water here, but there are many people who want to come in because of their heads."

--yes?

Thinking back on what I have seen and heard in the past six months, and comparing it with those of my peers who joined the army just to seek a chance of promotion, it is said that the survival rate of recruits on the battlefield is shockingly low...

So... that's probably it.After all, if there are so many people who want the position, then the position must be good.

"You are right, I am very lucky to get this position."

"Isn't that right, let me tell you, people in our line of work earn money, so it's easier to climb up, as long as you have enough money to open up relationships... Hey, don't compare those rich and powerful, we It is the department with the fastest average promotion rate.”

"Um……"

Coping absent-mindedly, Uerto's eyes wandered in the surrounding environment - the scenery here is as usual, with a bit of loneliness in the cold, and it seems that there is very little life.

— But is this too quiet?

As the greeter, the mayor didn't bring anyone out to greet them, which already made the tax collector a little impatient. He was leaning against the wall of the stables outside the town, his acerbic lips kept opening and closing, probably scolding someone .

Ulto didn't know, he just felt... colder.

"It's really strange this time. Tell me, nothing happened, right? Where's the mayor?"

"Probably not, look... these houses are still lit, they know that we are coming to collect taxes... Logically speaking, it shouldn't be..."

The fog in the middle of the night shrouded the whole town. In the dimness, the light that should have been very conspicuous seemed to have become weaker. A sense of weird absurdity continued to spread to the periphery. This old town brought people A very "unknown" premonition.

It's like... someone, a lot of people, each hiding in their own house, through the crack of the door, through the window, staring at you with their stupid, lifeless eyes, and you look at Not seeing them, there is a faint horror in my heart.

——This town... seems to be eating people.

"It really gives people a bad feeling..."

Raising his head, Wuerto, who wanted to look at the night sky to relax himself, was fortunate enough to see the last scene of his life - a huge rolling log and rolling stone rolling down a steep slope at a sudden speed.

Then, the sky and the earth were suddenly lit up.

No. 720 people, no matter men, women or children, they all held up the torches in their hands, using this faint light to illuminate everything in front of them.

They yearn for a new thing, something that cannot be given to them by the existing social productivity and human spiritual level. For this, they can even pay most of the things.

They want to live, not to bow their knees in front of the powerful like dogs, but to live upright, like a human being.

——The flame will illuminate everything.

Chapter 040 The Magician and Andingdao

"Successful, we..."

There was a strange light in their eyes. People holding torches looked down at the corpses below. Officials who were usually high above were smashed to pieces by them. The impact on them was far more than just killing people...

There is also a kind of spiritual bondage - as "Mr. William" said, the so-called powerful are also human beings, everyone will be born, old, sick and die, and everyone is just an insignificant part from the perspective of race.

So - why?

"Sir, what should we do next..."

——Why is it acceptable?

——Because there is no way out, from the moment they started.

"—Let more people stand up..."

—they will be the "torch".

The corner of his mouth grinned slightly, and the magician showed a "no hesitation" expression, like a martyr who dedicated his life to his "ideal".

"Then, burn this rotten empire to nothing."

Imperial Palace——

"Border rebellion?"

The little emperor sat on the throne and watched the officials below report with a slightly trembling tone. After a while, he spoke calmly.

"Yes, in the small towns and villages on the east side of the empire, mobs have rebelled against the rule of the empire one after another, and...the local imperial officials have all been killed."

"Is the problem serious?"

The little emperor tilted his head, as if he was a little surprised by this question.

— After all, he is still young.

"Why are they going to be a mob?"

Immediately, the hands of several officials couldn't help shaking. They were among the few politicians with "conscience", but unfortunately, none of them dared to tell the truth in front of the emperor. After all...they still had family members.

The reporter hesitated for a moment, and then he dared to tell the "truth" after the minister nodded.

"Because... a cult has sprung up in the eastern part of the empire, calling itself the 'Tranquility Road', using slogans to slander the empire to confuse people..."

"Then why are they successful? Why are people bewitched by them?"

——Because of your appearance!

The people below who could understand sighed silently in their hearts, but they didn't even dare to do such a simple action, because they were afraid of being targeted by the ministers who controlled the emperor.

"Because, because..."

"Because they are ignorant, Your Majesty."

The giant man was biting the barbecue in his hand, but no one dared to stand up and criticize the minister in this huge court, because the last etiquette officer who dared to do so had been dragged down and beheaded, and his position has been up to now. It's still empty.

"Oh? How can you see it?"

"Because, Your Majesty, you want to—"

His pronunciation was slurred due to biting the grilled meat, but if he could barely understand what he was saying...it was still possible.

"If those foolish people are smart enough, how could they be bewitched by such a cult that is stupid enough to dare to rebel against the empire?"

"—Isn't this asking for death?"

He grinned, and the laughter was deafening.

"That's right, it seems that these people are really stupid."

The inexperienced emperor showed an innocent smile that did not belong to an "emperor".After all, this child is not a piece of material suitable to be an emperor...

"Minister is really smart. There is nothing wrong with what you taught me since I was a child."

"Haha...it really breaks me, Your Majesty."
