The facts are indeed as Annelotte predicted. In order to find a reasonable explanation for Joffrey's death, the senior leaders of the Hawke Empire did issue an announcement. In the announcement, the already notorious Regnar was killed. More charges were attached: betrayer, initiator of the wave of death, regicide, the murderer behind the assassination of Prince Joffrey, and evil people trying to subvert the continent.
As soon as the announcement from the top management of the empire was issued, it caused an uproar throughout Merindl. The people never expected that the person who caused this continent to suffer was not a Stoker, but the military intelligence director of the Hawke Empire! Various media outlets in the imperial capital published reports exposing Regnar's numerous crimes in the past, and the people also denounced Regnar's behavior. If saliva can really drown people, I am afraid that the saliva of those who are still alive will be enough to drown Regnar. Gena drowned a hundred times.
However, what was very satisfying was that the imperial prince Alexander finally caught the culprit and announced that Regnar would be publicly executed two days later to execute the biggest sinner in human history.
Two days were quite urgent for Annelotte and others, so after learning about Regnar's execution time, Annelotte and others worked day and night to seize the time to crack the magic circle. As long as the seal of Regnar's power is unlocked, he is fully capable of escaping. As for reputation, false accusations, etc... No one cares about this anymore, as long as they can survive.
"So, you are going there today? It seems that the magic circle has not been solved yet?" Angelista asked Annelotte while yawning.
"Yes, I need to go there half a day in advance to check the specific environment of the execution ground. As for the magic circle, we can continue to analyze it when we get to Merindle." Annelotte answered. It is a coincidence that the empire finally chose Merindl Square. The execution of Regnar, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people, would indeed allow many people to see the death of the continent's number one sinner.
"Okay, in that case, I'll go with you." Angelista shrugged. In fact, the Hawke Empire didn't know that she helped Annelotte and the others, so even if she returned in a swaggering way, There won't be any problem getting to Merindl. But after finishing speaking, the dark elf added: "But don't expect me to help rob the magic field. I still want to stay in the human world for a long time, but I can't be like you and get beaten up by everyone."
Annelotte glanced at the dark elf and said, "As you wish."
"Ini, Irene." Annelotte looked at the other two people and said, "You need to stay here and wait for us to come back."
"We also..."
Just when Enelise was about to speak, Irene stopped her: "Let us go back too. We can just follow Lady Angelista and we won't cause any trouble. We promise, right, Inel ?”
"Ah? Yeah!" Enelise nodded vigorously.
"..." Annelotte looked at the two people, but the expression on her face was still reluctant.
So Irene added: "Sister Anne, believe me, I have a reason to go back, even if it's just in case, I have to go back."
Annelotte was silent. Irene had always been a very well-behaved and sensible girl. Now that she was so insistent, there must be a reason. As for the reason, Annelotte did not ask - if Irene wanted to say it, she would definitely have said it. Since she didn’t say anything, Annelotte wouldn’t ask.
"Well, remember what you promised me. No matter what happens, I won't allow you to appear in public. Angelista, I still entrust you with the two of them, okay?" Annelotte finally said One sentence was spoken to the dark elves.
"It's them again?" Angelista was obviously a little unhappy about bringing two oil bottles, but she still nodded reluctantly: "Okay, anyway, if they dare to disobey, I will use force."
"Then let's make an agreement. We will all make a magic disguise, and then... go back to Merindel and save Regnar!"
…
Snapped! A rotten egg hit Regnar on the forehead, and the cold and sticky egg liquid made Regnar gradually wake up. He opened his eyes drowsily and looked around, only to realize that he was tied to the cross of a prison van. Both sides of the road were now crowded with people. It was obvious that they were all here to see off Regnar. Farewell Regnar...go to hell.
Snapped!
Another cabbage gangster.
"My husband fought for the Empire in the founding war, and my son participated in the Civil War. None of them died at the hands of the Stokers! They all died under the tide of death you initiated! You devil! You deserve to be Died by a thousand cuts! You are destined to go to hell!" A woman carried a basket on her left hand, filled with rotten eggs, rotten cabbage, and sprouted potatoes. It can be seen that the woman has been carefully preparing for Regnar for a long time.
"Just let them die! You idiots! Those soldiers who died for the bullshit empire are also idiots! They are idiots just like me! Idiots don't deserve to live!" Regnar glared at the woman, He said to himself coldly.
"sinner!"
"devil!"
"traitor!"
"I want to eat your flesh alive!"
Noisy curses came one after another, but Regnar didn't react much to this. His heart had completely become cold and hard. Just curse, so what? Anyway, all your relatives and friends are dead, and I can't help you resurrect them, not to mention that this is not my responsibility in the first place.
"Is this the gift you gave me? Nidhogg?" Regnar thought silently in his heart.
"Yes, this is the gift I give you, a real but dark real world. Do you still like it?"
Regnar was horrified when he heard this voice that sounded from the bottom of his heart. It was Nidhogg's voice! !
"Nidhogg! You're not dead yet?!" Regnar roared in his heart, this Nidhogg is still not dead yet? What really happened on the night of the assassination? What is he planning? !
"Death? When have I ever lived?" Nidhogg sneered, and he continued: "Do you want to know what I did in the end that night? Why? Alexander must kill you, do you know that?"
"What?" Regnar spat at a wretched middle-aged man who kept throwing stones at him, and then asked through gritted teeth.
"I only did two things. You already know the first one. I squeezed out the last of my mana and cast a spell to directly kill King Larvin, who was still in Merindl at the time, from a long distance." Nidhogg The voice kept ringing: "The second thing is very simple. I sent a message to Alexander and Joffrey, that is, the final magic circle of the death wave is on you. Only by killing you can we completely Resolve this crisis, otherwise, the wave of death may appear again at any time."
“…”
"It's very interesting, isn't it?" Seeing Regnar's silence, Nidhogg continued: "If one person dies and another message is delivered, the continent that has become calm can once again set off huge waves. People's hearts, It’s really interesting stuff.”
"Alexander would actually believe that..." Regnar thought silently.
"It has nothing to do with whether you believe it or not. This is the safest option after weighing the pros and cons." Nidhogg rejected Regner's idea and explained himself: "Yes, Alexander was even sure that I was The message passed to him was just a lie. Even I didn’t think Alexander would believe it. I just wanted to plant a seed in his heart.”
"seed?"
"Seeds of suspicion! Seeds of fear!" Nidhogg said loudly: "Although he knows that the information is probably false, but you have to pay attention to it, nine times out of ten, not absolutely. In fact, even if it is Absolutely is not enough to reassure Alexander. Because the risk he bears is the lives of all people on the entire continent! Therefore, even if it is one percent, one thousandth, or one ten thousandth of a chance, it must be eliminated Exclude it! And this is why he must send you to the guillotine."
"So, to put it bluntly, all this is just a plan to alienate you." Regnar reluctantly answered.
"Divorce? No, I just want you to see the true face of the Hawke Empire. You were very prejudiced against me before, but now, I think you will believe everything I say." Nidhogg's voice He became depressed: "Let me tell you the original truth of the founding war and the true face of the Hawke Empire!"
