"You are indeed as bloodthirsty as the rumors say. However, except for the killing of royal relatives in the Northern Kingdoms palace, you don't seem to like to attack ordinary people. Instead, you have a deep hatred for monsters and demonized humans.
Did anything unpleasant happen to them when you were a child?"
Without waiting for Dick to reply, Emperor Marius said again, "I agree with this.
Tomorrow at noon, the beheading ceremony of Two-Faced Priest will be held in the square.
I gotta tell you something, he seems to have gone crazy, even though this two-faced freak is crazy."
"Thank you very much."
"You're welcome, Dick. You have to remember that we have never been enemies. Even with Xiya, I only wanted the peace of the entire Panda Continent."
Dick naturally won't mind.
First, although Emperor Marius organized a meeting with the kings to hunt down Xiya, the soldiers he sent did not stop the two of them on the final route, but quietly let them go.
From then on, Dick understood that Emperor Marius was just expressing an attitude, an attitude to maintain peace and stability of the Panda Continent.
Secondly, the mysterious bald king has told himself that Xiya is not dead.
Although he had met this person twice at most, Dick believed in his words.
This is not only an intuition, but also based on past experience - this person is like a golden finger who has never interfered in his life.
"I have one more thing to ask. Do you know where the mansion of Professor Seir is? Our fellow demon hunter Tyson is the son of Professor Seir."
"I have heard about Professor Seir and heard that he is conducting some research. However, a few days ago, Cez caused a riot due to Snake Cult, and the whereabouts of Saier's family are unknown.
In addition, the research location conducted by Saier is not at Cez, but seems to be near Lake of the Goddess. That's all I know."
Dick felt tight after hearing this, but nodded, "Thank you, Emperor Marius."
After saying goodbye to Emperor Marius, time quickly came to the morning of the second day.
It seems that the common people of the Pandas Continent are the same as in previous lives, they love to watch the excitement.
Tatum took out the scroll, read out the crime of Two-Faced Priest, and finally sighed sincerely:
"Praise Emperor Marius for his wisdom and martial prowess."
The crowd of onlookers suddenly became commotion - when the officers and soldiers appeared with the prisoners in custody, the baby in the arms of the peasant woman in the front row suddenly burst into heart-rending cry;
Seven or eight men holding clay pots took the opportunity to squeeze into the front row, their coarse cloth cuffs still stained with unwashed blood from the pig slaughtered last night.
Russell, who was watching the fun in the crowd, asked curiously, "What are you doing with this?"
The man originally looked impatient, but after seeing Russell's peephole, his tone became more respectful:
"Witcher, don't you know that Two-Faced Priest is the brutal Monster?"
"That's right."
"He burned, killed and looted in our Bacchus Empire and committed many evil deeds. Now he will finally be punished.
Legend has it that this evil Monster's blood can drive away diseases. It just so happens that my son's lungs are not very good. After he is executed, I plan to buy some of his blood to make medicine."
"Huh?" Russell raised his eyebrows and saw several people next to him holding bowls as well, "It seems you are very familiar with this process."
"That's right." Another person said proudly, "Every time Monster of Snake Cult is executed, we will buy some blood from the executioner and go back to suppress the evil."
On the execution platform in the square, several officers and soldiers held Two-Faced Priest, who was wearing prison uniform, and asked him to kneel on the spot.
Two-Faced Priest made a sharp and high-pitched noise and was muttering to himself crazily:
"Wins, Wins, we died here~"
Tes twitched nervously from time to time. The snake scales on his neck had long festered, and his right arm that had been cut off had grown back, but his mental state was extremely depressed.
"You're so verbose, Tes, shut up!" came the impatient voice from the younger brother behind his head.
"We are all going to die, we are all going to die, we are really going to die, Snake God, Master Snake God... why do you abandon your loyal servant~"
"What do you mean?"
Dick has already drawn the black sword and serves as the executioner this time.
At this moment, hearing Two-Faced Priest's crazy words, he couldn't help but feel doubtful.
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault!
Yesterday, Master Snake God noticed that you came here and actually took away his great power left in my body. I was abandoned, I was abandoned~"
As he spoke, Tes shed scarlet tears on his disheveled face, and then started laughing crazily.
Dick was about to ask more questions when Tatum on the side reminded him in a low voice, "The time is up."
Dick nodded, grasped the hilt of the sword, and raised it high.
An arc of light flashed, and Two-Faced Priest's head with a crazy laugh rolled down onto the blue brick floor of the square.
There was a burst of cheers and cheers from the crowd, but Dick stood still and carefully checked the prompts on the panel:
Kill Two-Faced Priest Tes·Wins and get Energy Points X100 points. The current total is Energy Points 100 points.
Other than that, there is no other gain.
"Huh? How come the rewards for this messenger of God have become less? And why is there no Divinity Fragment?"
Dick After thinking about it, I understood the reason.
It seems that Snake God noticed his arrival and knew that he had the ability to seize Divinity Fragment, so he cut off that part of the contact with the priest.
"The enemy is very cunning!"
Dick sighed, looking at the 100 Energy Points, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful, "What use can this Energy Points be used for?"
However, he then thought about it. When he first came to this world, he was overjoyed to get 30 points Energy Points.
"It seems that strength and ambition will indeed grow together."
He shook the sword, shook off the blood on the sword, and sheathed the sword.
After that, he said goodbye to Tatum and went to join several demon hunters.
Only after Dick found the butler in the palace did he learn more about the entrusted task given to him by Emperor Marius.
Emperor Marius's nephew Jimmy fell in love with Vivian, a noble woman of the same age.
But in the process of pursuit, Vivian always tried to reject him but also welcomed him.
But this does not mean that she is a scheming woman. In short, she seems to be hiding something and abandons Jimmy every night.
After that, he was depressed and confided the incident to his uncle after drinking.
"So, you want me to kill Vivian?"
Dick After listening to the butler's narration, he summarized the meaning.
"That's not true, Lord Dick.
Marius Your Majesty means to first find out whether Vivian is cursed by a monster.
If this is the case, you must help her lift the curse.
Secondly, if she has turned into a monster, you need to use the long sword in your hand to cut off the love of His Highness Jimmy.
Moreover, His Highness Jimmy once had a relationship with Geralt, so I believe this mission will go smoothly.
Of course, Jimmy doesn't know about this. When you arrive at Lake of the Goddess, His Majesty Marius will ask him to receive you on the grounds that he has entertained distinguished guests."
Geralt nodded, "I helped Jimmy deal with a Nightwraith at his home a few years ago."
Dick rubbed his chin, "In other words, I will be the bad guy?"
When the butler smiled, the soldier behind him had already handed over a heavy money bag.
Dick shook the purse gently, feeling the weight inside, smiled slightly, and stored it in the space hanging badge.
After bidding farewell to the housekeeper, several people took the carriage that had picked them up before and headed towards a small town near Cez.
In the carriage, Dick briefly told the story of the disappearance of Tyson's family.
After everyone was silent for a moment, they unanimously decided to deal with Jimmy's matter first, and then ask around for news about Tyson's family.
