After resting for a long time, Chu Yan continued to work.
His task was to take the executioner for a walk outside, see her off, and then start the next stage of the trial.
A few people left the wealthy area, and a bleak and desolate scene came into their eyes. The sound of the ebb and flow of the waves formed an eternal melody.
Here, life and hope are but a moment, and only the silence of death lasts forever.
The people who stayed in the slums cast curious glances at the executioner and others, but did not dare to look directly at them for fear of offense and anger.
Chu Yan walked along.

While saying, "Madam Executioner, how long do you plan to stay here?"
The dragon-headed woman said calmly:
"We will also patrol other corners of the Dead Sea border. Don't worry about it. We won't stay in Paradise City for too long."
"Do you need me to accompany you?"
Chu Yan spoke as if he knew this place very well, but in fact he had never even been to the front line where the noble soldiers fought against monsters.
"No need. If the Lord accompanies you, it will delay the precious trial time."
After the maid Toba finished speaking, she bowed and thanked him for his kindness.
The three of them walked for a while and came to a vast wasteland. The monsters that had escaped from the sea were hiding in the mudflats. They were sneaky and cunning, and their movements could be detected from time to time.
Suddenly, a man jumped out from the calmest dry mudflat.
In one hand he held a strangely deformed dagger, and in the other he held a skull-shaped magical weapon filled with fire.
The attack was directed at Chu Yan, who was closest to them.
The maid was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that this Dead Sea mudflat could hide the breath, but she reacted very quickly. She immediately built a shield and blocked the sword.
There was no sign that the shield was broken where the deformed dagger landed, but it was weakened slightly for no reason.
"My Lord, beware of that weapon!"
Chu Yan counterattacked immediately, but he didn't expect that the executioner's counterattack would be faster and more powerful!
The magic power condensed into poison needles, instantly piercing into the attacker's various joints.
He lost control of his body movements, his fingers reluctantly forced loose, the weapon dropped, and he slapped himself hard, knocking out his teeth.
——Obviously, this was behavior under the control of the executioner.
Even the maid had a stern look on her face, frightened by the power of the Purple Poison Dragonborn!
In actual combat, as long as Tiffany hurts the enemy in the slightest, or causes the slightest scratch, the magic poison will instantly control the enemy's body.
The executioner walked up to the man with a sexy and powerful step, kicked him five or six meters away, and asked with a sneer:
"Are you here to attack the lord?"
Toba thought this was inappropriate, not in line with her position, and would easily expose her. She quickly explained:
"My Lord, the Executioner believes that this strange weapon exceeds the difficulty of the normal trial. Every casualty of the Dragonborn is a heavy loss."
Chu Yan was more concerned about one thing: "Will there be a deduction of points?"
The assassination of the lord, in a sense, was a loss of control over public security management.
Toba: “…”
It's already this time, and you still care about this.
Chu Yan's eyes fell on the magic weapon. He recognized it as the one used by the group of kids to burn garbage.
"Uh... Madam Executioner, can you please spare his life? I want to interrogate the mastermind."
......
On this day, Janet looked at the boring sky and carried out her daily free activities - relaxing.
She was sitting in the yard in front of the lord's castle when she suddenly heard a call. It was Dura and the others!
"Dura, why are you here? Come in quickly before the soldiers find you."
Several children ran in, speaking incoherently:
"Brother Vomeck... attacked the lord... and took the flame-breathing skull..."
"what?!"
......
Pigeon Manor.
The baron, who was as bloated as a mountain of flesh, was tasting some fruit.
The butler came over and delivered the good news.
"Those filthy weapons and those children have been exposed to the executioner."
"Good! This scandal has ruined the trial for the Lord Boy. Now it's time to put pressure on Janet. If you don't want those kids to get into trouble, it's best not to support the Lord Boy anymore."
Baron Pigge laughed loudly, and then thought of the fool who had received the assassination mission, and mocked:
"As expected of people from the slums, their brains are really not working well. Help them to forge resident certificates? If they leave, who will do the dirty work?"
Chapter 14: The Road on the Ashes
Janet's heart grew heavy.
The essence of filthy weapons is the instrumental use of forbidden powers. To put it more directly, it is the abuse and expansion of forbidden powers in universal cognition.
Moreover, such weapons tainted with a polluted aura would also pose a threat of being circulated externally.
This is an absolutely forbidden item that will attract the Discipline Team!
Therefore, the executioner must not be allowed to see these weapons under any circumstances.
But before that, carrying out the assassination in front of the executioner was even more stupid.
Perfectly avoiding all possibilities of leaving yourself a way out.
Janet was originally exiled here, so she doesn't have to worry about being held accountable, but the children in the slums...
Several children sensed the uneasiness and fear of their friend's death from Janet's expression, and they asked in a sad tone:
"Sister Janet, what should we do now..."
"..."
What could Janet say?
She had no confidence at all in protecting these children.
People outside are naturally wary and repulsive to people in the exile colony, especially when the other party is a high-ranking person like the executioner.
Now he is actually carrying out an assassination in front of her!
At this time, Chu Yan knocked on the wooden fence as if he was knocking on the door.
He walked up to Janet.
27
Sit down and ask:
"Janet, you look like you're having some trouble?"
"Don't ask questions when you already know the answer. Anyway, why are you here? Du La said you were assassinated by Womack."
Chu Yan thought to himself, "Sure enough", that person was someone Janet knew.
Previously, Chu Yan had noticed that she was quite caring towards the children from the slums, but he had never asked about it.
When the relationship is still shallow, he has no reason to inquire about other people's past.
Although it was mainly because he was too lazy to inquire, he was more worried about the negative effects.
When someone who has a crush on someone takes the initiative to get to know the other person, that's called "Xiyangyang, you are so thoughtful."
When someone you don't like takes the initiative to touch the other party, it's called "Feiyangyang, you are so disgusting."
Chu Yan tapped his fingertips lightly on the marble table and said:
"I can be lenient with Womek's attempt on my life and ask the executioner to spare his life."
He said so, but no matter what the reason was, Chu Yan was still unhappy in his heart. It was just that Womek's actions gave him an opportunity to get closer to Janet.
If I issue an order to punish and kill him now, it would easily sever my friendship with Janet.
Let's comfort ourselves for now, this is a case of using courtesy before force.
He abuses severe punishments right from the start, even if it is in line with the lord's power, which will make it difficult for him to carry out his work later, and everyone will be afraid of him.
This time, I will be kind to you. Next time, if I encounter such a thing, even if I kill him directly, others will only think that it is the other party's fault, which will make the lord who is so tolerant and kind angry and give him no reason to criticize.
This is beneficial whether it is for dealing with possible idiots in the slums or for possible subsequent conflicts with the Dead Sea nobles.
You don’t have to worry about it anymore.
The eyes of several children lit up, as if they were the ones who were forgiven, and they said excitedly and pleasantly:
"Are you serious, Lord brother?"
Janet was usually frivolous and cheerful, treating everything with confidence and ease, but at this moment she looked strangely serious.
"Little Lord, what do you want to do?"
Chu Yan replied with a serious and sincere attitude:
"It's not that I want to do anything, but it would be foolish to just focus on Womack and think that everything will be fine if he is executed.
When a knife injures someone, the person who holds the knife is the one who should be held accountable, and Womack is the not-so-smart knife. "
He really wasn't that angry about Womek's assassination, maybe because it was too... tasteless?
But this kind of vicious incident against the lord cannot be ignored.
He could more or less guess that the instigators were the nobles, and the circle at the Dead Sea border was too small to hide the truth.
"Are you planning to use this to strike back at the nobles?"
Janet looked at him differently. She didn't expect that Chu Yan was assassinated just now, but he didn't get angry and want to punish him back at the first time, but was calm enough to consider the reason behind it.
"Yes, but I want to know something about the dirty weapons. Why did you give those dangerous weapons to the children?"
“Because… I want to give the kids in the ghetto another way out.”
Janet looked at the sky, and her thoughts went back to the distant past.
"Little Lord, do you know where I am from?"
"How can I know that? But I would like to hear the details."
"I grew up in another exile area, where there was also a prison for the forbidden ones. When I was a child, I watched the forbidden ones there, and when I grew up, I became one of them...although it was in a foreign exile area."
*
*
There are several places of exile on this continent where forbidden people are imprisoned, including the border of the Dead Sea, the Thundering Desert, and the Valley of the Dead.
Janet was born in the town of Thundering Desert. During her growing up years, she witnessed the darkness hovering over her hometown and the darkness of the future.
While the conditions there are different, the problems are similar to those in the slums of Elysium.
The word "birth", which symbolizes the gestation of life, can be given two distinct interpretations here.
If you are reborn into the family of a Dead Sea noble, then a life of luxury and no worries about food and clothing will accompany you for the rest of your life. Living one more day is a bonus.
If you are reborn into a slum one kilometer away, you might as well try going back to your mother's womb and reloading the game. Leaving one day earlier is a blessing.
However, when living beings are born into the world as living beings, they always have a little hope for their own lives - maybe they can experience, encounter, or go through some good things?
It’s not that we are pursuing a comfortable life, but in the slums, living a stable and peaceful life is a luxury.
Branded with the mark of the Dead Sea people, it is very difficult for them to integrate into a stable area.
