Don't call me evil god

Chapter 823: Mark of Shame.jpg
In the past, the soldiers of the King's Army who came from other places relied on their large numbers and certain strength to act arrogantly wherever they went.

When it comes to evil deeds such as eating and free meals, getting drunk and causing trouble, and not paying for services, the victims are often too angry to speak out and can only think that they have suffered a loss in silence.

This year the situation is completely different.

Ceylon Territory has almost become the territory of the Church of Knowledge. If anyone dares to cause trouble here, the sheriffs will definitely appear in front of him within 3 minutes!
With the leading strength, beating the opponent up is just the most basic operation.

After all, these troublemakers are basically just soldiers, at most at the level of a level 1 fighter.

High fines are an essential step.

It won't work if you don't have money.

There is a huge construction going on in Dawn City and even the surrounding areas, and there is a shortage of manpower. If you cannot pay the fine, you can use your labor to offset the compensation.

And there is also the most effective tactic of "public display in the square".

Anyone caught by the sheriff for causing trouble was sent to a nearby square.

There is a discrete magic device that has been prepared long ago, which will use [Arcane Projection] to present the reasons for their punishment. Phantom text will float in front of these people for passers-by to see.

Those who were beaten up by Sam and sent to the square for public display soon realized how embarrassing this punishment was!

The few of them were relatively good, as they were just getting drunk and causing trouble. The words floating in front of them described the process of their causing trouble in the tavern.

Next to them was a handsome man who was shackled like them. At this moment, he wanted to shrink his head into his neck, with a face full of shame.

Because the text in front of him reads:
"Edward, 27 years old, has repeatedly used fake, low-quality jewelry to confess his love under the pretext of 'I will take you back to my hometown to get married after the demon red tide ends'. According to investigations, this person has used this excuse to deceive a total of 6 women over the years. He was exposed for 180 hours!"

"The specific process is as follows: ..."

"Time remaining: 47 hours."

What is social death?

This is called social death!
These contents describe the bad things Edward did in great detail.

Moreover, in the next three years, anyone who used the illusion magic would see a bright word "punishment" in front of Edward's name.

This means that he had been punished for violating local security regulations in Ceylon.

Focusing on the word "punishment", you can even view the detailed contents of the other party's punishment record again through your own illusion light screen.

This thing is equivalent to a glaring "mark of shame". Once it is hit on the body, it is basically equivalent to social death.

Others will see him later.

"Oh, Edward, the marriage fraud!"

The reputation is completely ruined, and even disguise and cover-up are impossible!

Those strong men who had been causing trouble under the influence of alcohol regretted their actions when the cold wind blew!

"Sir! We know we were wrong, and we won't do it again. Please be merciful and let us go!"

These outsiders who came to Ceylon Territory can now also use the magic of illusion. After all, there is almost no threshold to using it. As long as you are willing to believe in and praise the illusion goddess Resti.

Even the dumbest person can see that in the future more and more people in the Kingdom of Reyak will master this magic, and it may even become popular among everyone.

And this "mark of shame" will be tied to them forever for 3 years!
All users of illusion magic can see it!
In previous years, they acted recklessly after arriving at the border, because they were not locals here. After the monster red tide ended, they just patted their butts and left, not caring about their reputation at all.

This year things are different!

A bad reputation will be attached to them!
Although there are no users of illusion magic in their hometown now, the fellow villagers who responded to the call with them will definitely bring back the gift of the illusion goddess Resti and spread it!
By then, if the people in my hometown who I am familiar with have learned the magic of illusion, I will look up at them and see:
"Huh? Why is there a word 'punishment' on your heads?"

"There are actually detailed information?"

"Huh? You guys threatened to smash up a tavern at the border? And you dared to attack the sheriff?!"

Then it’s all over!
So they desperately begged Sam to show mercy.

"We will pay the fines and everything. We promise to pay it. It's whatever you say."

"Please don't put this sign on us!"

Sam looked at them with interest and said slowly:
"Gentlemen, it seems that you have not studied our public security management laws well."

"I need to remind you."

“Trying to bribe law enforcement officers like me is also a punishable offense.”

The strong men's faces turned green.

"but……"

Sam suddenly changed the subject:
Hope was rekindled in everyone's hearts.

"There is a way to help you reduce the duration of the Publicity Mark. If it goes well, you may be able to eliminate it before the Monster Red Tide ends."

"What method? Please tell me!"

"It's very simple. As long as you sign up to assist the sheriffs in maintaining local order, the time you volunteer can be deducted from the marked time in proportion."

"If the disruptive behavior that affects public order is successfully resolved, additional time reduction can be obtained."

The strong men understood immediately!
They all chose to agree:

"Sir! We understand!"

"We are willing to help you maintain order!"

Sam grinned, "Don't worry."

"The 24-hour public display punishment still needs to be carried out. This is the consequence of your previous disturbance and disruption of public order. Once this punishment is completed and you have paid the fine, you will be eligible to sign up to assist the sheriff's voluntary work."

"Do you have any other questions?"

Several strong men looked at each other and agreed dejectedly.

How dare they have any questions?
Times have changed, and today's Ceylon is no longer the place where they could run rampant in the past.

They were already resentful that Sheriff Sam could beat all eight of them into submission by himself.

If the other party had this strength, he could obviously make a name for himself in the Hunting Moon, be canonized as a baron by the king, or join a mercenary group and become a bodyguard hired by a businessman for a large sum of money.

But he ends up staying here as a small sheriff?
If you make trouble and hit this iron wall, you can only accept the defeat.

They couldn't afford to offend the sheriff, but the "bright way" that Sam showed them was to assist law enforcement in dealing with other disturbances, and they were quite good at it!
The locals can't be bullied.

Isn't it easy to bully those troublemakers who belong to other flags and battle formations and are similar to himself, whom he has disliked for a long time?
