How to find the devil from the crowd
"... If you throw it into the water, the devil will not drown, and the human will be covered."
How to resist the evil witchcraft of the devil
"... shouting the name of the Lord of Light, the devil will not be able to harm the devout believers, those who are not devout enough, our Lord will not give shelter... Sounds good, the dead are not devout enough? Anyway, the dead are also won't speak."
How to kill the devil
"...If you throw it into the holy fire and burn it, the devil will be burned to death, but the one who won't be burned... There should be no one who won't be burned to death. It's not written what to do if you encounter someone who won't burn to death. Besides, it's not written how to throw the devil into the holy flame."
I threw away this booklet with a face full of helplessness. "The Exorcism Manual of the Church of the Holy Church (AD324 Revised Edition)" sounds very reliable, but the practice in it reminds me of the judgment in a certain world in the Middle Ages. witch.
"What the hell is this, the Holy Church has used this thing to find the devil for so many years? This is obviously a manual for murdering innocents."
"Actually, this was originally used for religious propaganda. The devils who were able to hide among humans on the main plane before, at least started at the high level, and many of them are the projections, incarnations of the big devils, and even gangsters. How could ordinary people find out the precedent of a cardinal entering the church?"
"...So, I sent a pamphlet to appease people? This crusader who is grilling is actually a reassuring candle? It's full of malice. It seems that the world is generally dark."
Walking through the long black corridors, Defende's prison district is beyond evaluation.
Probably most of the funds are used for the renovation of the old and new urban areas, or it may be because the crime rate has dropped sharply when the City of Innocence has become a reality, and most of the prisons are vacant. style of.
Walking down the aisle, the smell of dust makes one can't help but cover the nose. The light of the torch just illuminates the empty cell. The empty atmosphere makes this prison full of bloody smell a little scary. I listened. The warden's report, while also looking at the prisoners.
After removing the prison director's complaints about work, I also got the information I wanted to know. In the past two months, there were only 127 new prisoners... But it has been the amount of the past six months. Even so, There is still a strange situation where the number of jailers is several times that of prisoners.
Hearing this, I really have some doubts that there is no need to get a prison. This is a metropolis with a population of several million, and the total number of prisoners is less than a thousand. When any crime will be arrested instantly, the crime rate is unexpectedly high. It will fall to this point, and the vast majority of criminals are impulsive criminals who do not commit crimes.
"... It seems that I came at the right time. In a few months, I will be sent to hard labor."
"Yes, the number of hard labor in mines and stone factories is very insufficient recently. They have complained to us many times. However, I heard that recently they have started to hire undead mages to mine with zombies and skeletons. The noble mages can actually be killed. It's unbelievable in this era for civilians like us to hire..."
The young jailer looked a little chatty, but what he said was probably what I expected.
Unlike a relatively peaceful world where the punishment system is based on punishment like fixed-term imprisonment, the countries in the Ashe world are not so rich... Yes, they are rich. If they commit a crime, they let the country spend money to support him without having to spend money. Labor and hard labor, you can get enough food and clothing, you can get some wages, and you can live while lying down. If the Northland countries also use this kind of punishment, I am afraid that the prison will be full immediately, and countless people will take the initiative to commit crimes just to eat a bite.
Most of the countries in Ashe Continent treat prisoners, such as theft and other light sentences, and they are released for a period of time. This time is generally not more than two years, and most of the time is only a few months, but in order not to make him feel It's too comfortable. Not only do you have to work hard every day, but you will also be punished regularly. When you go out, you will have tattoos on your face. This is a lifelong trace, and it is a shame that you will have to die to wash away.
Yes, this is just a misdemeanor. After all, this is the era of chaotic times and heavy regulations. If it is a serious crime such as murder, it is even more straightforward, and it will be a matter of direct execution. However, in some places, hard labor and relegation are used. , war cannon fodder to replace the death penalty, but in most cases the fate of those prisoners is worse than death.
Obviously, this kind of punishment is very unscientific and humane. Some crimes are not too serious, but they are sentenced to lifelong hard labor, which is equivalent to death. Some are quite bad, but they are released after only two years of hard labor.
However, this seems normal to people in this world. After all, this has been the case for thousands of years, but a former judge with a little obsessive-compulsive disorder has put a lot of effort into creating an extremely detailed code, from punishment to punishment. There are regulations on the type of punishment, the number of years, and the type of punishment. With the rise of the Law Church, this system has also been promoted, and the punishment has become stricter and more in line with his crimes. The core system is probably not. Raise idlers but do not kill them. On the premise of ensuring the safety of prisoners’ lives, they use work instead of punishment, and try to make them pay for their crimes. Minimize corporal punishments that can cause disability and fatal injuries, and cancel punishments such as tattooing. .
At least for now, the praise is good, the country saves money, the prisoners will not die worthless, and they have the opportunity to reform, and they will not be embarrassed for life and unable to re-employ, and it is very easy to re-offend. the way.
It can be said that the intervention of a certain "traverser", especially the influence of the related Law Church, above the legal system, Ashe's progress in the past hundred years is probably incomparable to the previous tens of thousands of years.
No matter how good the system is, I probably didn’t expect to encounter a shortage of criminals. Not to mention the idling of prisons. Those mining farms that used prisoners as free laborers in the past have fallen into the dilemma of labor difficulties. Of course, I will not care about this. , it is naturally a good thing that no one commits a crime. With the rise of undead labor, the difficulty of employment is actually not that difficult to solve.
It's winter now, and the open-air heavy-duty labor areas have all been suspended. If I stay two or three months at night, in early spring, these prisoners should go to work. At that time, they will be scattered in various mining areas and factories, and then find someone else. It's too late.
It's probably been less than two months since the magic reaction started in the Demon Abyss, and I just need to find someone among the prisoners in the recent days.
Instead of using the unreliable method in that booklet, I have a more direct and effective method.
"Look, the magical compass, the detector to find the devil, the famous detective Roland's magical watch (without anesthesia needle)... Well, no nonsense, this is the wrist wheel of a contract hero."
In order to deal with the entire plane invasion, the contract hero system has long become a hot item. In addition to recording the plane invaders destroyed by the contract hero, it can also guide the plane invaders contaminated by the starlight net. Of course, high power and precision Tall radars are also bulky and can only be kept in churches and mercenary unions. The mass-produced wrist wheels used by individuals have limited detection range and accuracy, and they tend to record the results.
After the net of the starry sky covered by the forbidden spell of divine power covers the entire plane, any outsiders who enter this plane will be painted with the color of starlight, and the moment they enter, it is equivalent to exposing themselves to the entire plane. s position.
This seems to be no big deal, but it is playing a huge role in the war more and more. It is possible to know the activities of the Devil's Abyss in advance, and know that many lower plane residents have been sent there. Thanks to this Starlight Net The presence.
And this Starlight Net, after all, is a large-scale, permanent Forbidden Spell, which has the same advantages and disadvantages as other Forbidden Spells. The advantage is naturally a huge range, and there are mistakes in killing, but the disadvantage is that it affects the individual. The power is weaker, and it can also be targeted for defense.
At that time, we set up this star net, in addition to encouraging the hunting behavior of contract heroes, the strategy was mainly to prevent the invasion of plane legion, and in this case, mass-produce anti-reconnaissance magic props, or exert great efforts to maintain a certain The anti-reconnaissance spells of several people are worthless.
But this time, even if the devil was exposed for a moment when they first entered, then they were hidden, which undoubtedly means that they are either super casters who can wash the starlight mark, or they are wearing targeted magic armor. The former is obviously impossible, and then By…
"Take off the prisoners for me, don't leave a single sock, and then test them one by one with this wrist wheel, I don't believe they can escape."
