Xiao Chen said: "Do you know what kind of power is called the power of the devil? The Saint's teaching to you must have taught you how to judge whether a person is affected by the power of the devil."
Balivian nodded and said, "Of course. Everyone has to learn how to judge the power of the devil since childhood. The saint taught us to always pay attention to whether there is any devil's power infiltrating around us. For example, a person can emit various flames, can control natural forces such as fire, water, and electricity, or can fly, can be invisible, or can transform himself into a strange monster, or can summon various things. In short, if he can do things that ordinary people cannot do and are unreasonable, it may be the power of the devil. People who see these things must immediately report to the mayor, the mayor, or even the judicial authority, and then the judicial authority will send people to investigate this person. In most cases, the people who are reported have some misunderstandings. But sometimes, they are people who are really eroded by the power of the devil. The saint said that the power of the devil is always lurking in the dark side of this world, thinking about how to invade the bright world at all times, so they will never disappear, and we can only continue to fight against them."
"But you said that the executors of the judicial organs also have special abilities." Umeda said.
"Of course this is different. They are all people recognized by the Saint. Their powers are different from those wizards, and they can eliminate the power of wizards. I don't understand this aspect. But it is different." Balivian thought for a while, and then said, "No one dares to question the executors of the judicial body. In such matters, they are always right. Even the mayor of a city or even the sage is not qualified to interfere or change their decision."
"Will there be no false or wrongful convictions? As long as the judgment is made by humans, there is a possibility of mistakes," Luo Ling asked.
"Well... I don't know."
Xiao Chen thought about it, stretched out a hand, and a small burning fireball appeared on his palm. He said: "This is the power of the devil."
Then he stretched out his other hand again and waved at a piece of paper on the table. The paper flew in front of his eyes, folded itself up, and turned into a small paper boat. "This is the power of the executor of the judicial organ, am I right?"
Balivian widened his eyes and said, "It seems to be the case."
Xiao Chen placed the small paper boat on the table and dispersed the small fireball in his hand. Luo Ling asked, "You mean to say that the wizards are actually wild magicians, and the executors of the judicial organs are actually people who use mental power but not magic power?"
"At least based on what Mr. Balivian described, that's what should have happened. As for the real situation, we can only see it with our own eyes.
I actually have a guess, maybe this saint is closely related to the Tower of Origin."
Xiao Chen said to Balivian, "Okay, Captain, I have almost finished asking the questions I want to ask. Now I can wake up your crew and passengers. But I have two requests. First, please ask them to stay on the ship and not cause trouble for everyone. Second, you have to take us to your destination, Ai Er City."
"Please let me go. If I take you to Ayr, I'll be finished. And Ayr has a strong naval defense, and their ships have a lot of artillery. A wooden ship like yours can't withstand an attack like that."
Xiao Chen said: "You don't understand why we are here, but someone will understand."
Balivian had no bargaining chips in front of Xiao Chen. In the end, he succumbed to Xiao Chen's wishes and sailed towards the city of Aiur with the Houyi and Xingtian.
During the past two days, Xiao Chen stayed on the El Shield and interviewed many sailors and passengers. These people were nervous and afraid and accepted the questioning one by one. Xiao Chen learned a lot of information about this continent from all aspects.
However, among all the passengers, the most valuable person is the middle-aged man in front of Xiao Chen.
Someone told him that his name was Bruders and he was a secretary of a sage. He refused to acknowledge this identity at first, until he found some correspondence and official documents between sages in his luggage, and then he had to admit this identity.
"Mr. Xiao Chen, since you call yourselves civilized people and do not admit that you are the masters of the devil's power, don't you think that seizing the ship and searching the luggage is a bit excessive?" The man named Bruders was not afraid like the others. Instead, he asked Xiao Chen in a calm tone.
"You were the first to shoot at us, so isn't it natural for us to capture you? Are the people of the Western Continent used to just taking a beating without fighting back? As for my attitude towards prisoners, I think I did an impeccable job." Xiao Chen said with a smile, "However, since you are involved in politics, we can talk about this issue from a different angle. I have explained our purpose to all of you. Unlike the others, you should be able to see that this is an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you and the sage behind you."
Bruders narrowed his eyes slightly.
Xiao Chen said: "No matter how politics on this continent is run, one thing is definitely the same, you need political achievements and qualifications.
He was the first to contact people from the East Continent, and was able to conduct exchanges between the two continents in a peaceful manner, and established cooperative relations with important forces on the East Continent. Such an achievement would be a great achievement for anyone, right
Moreover, according to my current judgment, what we are going to do is likely to be consistent with the Saint's purpose. You may be able to solve a question that has lasted for a very long time for the Saint."
Bruders said: "I dare not comment on the Saint's affairs, but I want to know what you want?"
Xiao Chen said: "We are about to arrive at Ai'er City, but I don't want to have a conflict with the navy and the city defense forces. I hope you can go to the shore with us and explain the whole story to them.
Then help me find a way to contact the sage, or even the saint. Then arrange for us to go to your capital, the Saint City."
"It doesn't sound difficult. I have a certain influence in the navy of Ai'er City, and I can also explain to the Sage." Bruders said, "I don't know whether what you said is true or not, but I have no other choice in my current position. I will try my best, but the result depends on whether the Saint grants me enough luck."
