That night.
Andrew in the cell looked nervously towards the door.
Chi Sui promised him that he would come and take him away tonight.
There are no guards here, so if he is determined to escape, he will not be unable to do so.
The trouble is the power of light in the body that is like a leech.
Just as he was hesitating nervously, the sound of high heels came from the stairs.
An Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and soon he saw Chi Sui.
Chi Sui was wearing a white lace dress and holding a fluorite lamp in her hand.
Behind her, there was another person.
An Lu frowned, looked at the man in the black cloak behind Chi Sui and asked, "Who is he?"
Chi Sui did not answer. When he walked in front of An Lu, the man lifted his cloak, revealing silver hair and a kind face.
"Holy Father?"
An Lu frowned. He couldn't understand why Chi Sui wanted to let him go and bring the Holy Father here? Were they familiar with each other?
Suddenly, he noticed that the Holy Father was holding a large jar in his arms.
A very large tank.
He smelled a familiar scent of oil.
"The Countess?"
Anlu took a few steps back and looked at Chi Sui and the Holy Father in surprise and suspicion.
The Holy Father looked at Andrew quietly and said, "It's time to execute him."
Anlu's pupils shrank, and he instantly unleashed dark magic, trying to escape. But the next second, he was kicked away by Chi Sui and smashed against the stone wall of the cell.
puff
Anlu spat out a mouthful of blood and struggled to get up, with hatred and despair in his eyes.
"Why?"
"Didn't Lilia want you to let me go?"
Chi Sui lowered his eyes and said calmly, "What does her hope have to do with me?"
She slowly bent down, revealing a bright and somewhat mischievous smile: "After all...what is her relationship with me? Why should I give her face?"
snap
A cold ring was thrown at Andrew.
Anlu didn't go to pick it up. He didn't care about the ring anymore and just wanted to survive.
"Please! Don't kill me! Didn't you say you were short of people?"
"I am willing to be your slave!"
"Please, don't kill me!"
"I can help you!"
"Besides me, no one else can provide you with all the information about the Adventurer's Guild..."
Anlu crawled on the ground and kept begging.
Chi Sui straightened up, watching the Holy Father heat up the lard, and shrugged: "The knight selection will start tomorrow, I have plenty of people."
"As for you, you are unworthy."
……………………
The next morning, the news that Andrew was sentenced to the same death penalty as his victim spread throughout the streets and alleys.
Andrew's body was left at the execution ground for a day as a warning.
People who came to participate in the knight selection came from all corners of the territory, and today happened to be the knight selection day.
The selection location is in the open space next to the execution ground.
There were huge crowds of people, and most of them turned pale after seeing the scene of Anlu's death.
The knights who came for the selection no longer looked at Chi Sui with a casual look.
On the high platform, Chi Sui wore a crown on his head and looked down at the bustling crowd below.
Ole took the additional laws of the territory written by Chi Sui, stood in front of the stage and read them one by one using a loudspeaker.
Chi Sui's supplementary laws are few, mainly the following:
1. All businesses, regardless of size, operating within Chi Sui's territory must not sell counterfeit or substandard products. Anyone found guilty of such conduct will be punished with life imprisonment or public fines. To this end, Chi Sui has set up a complaint box in the Holy Father's church for consumers to report such violations.
2. Those with a criminal record cannot engage in staffing or civil service. Below this law, it explains in detail what staffing and civil service are.
Those who work in the core government units of a territory, such as knights and jailers, are civil servants.
Industrial employees under Chi Sui are part of the establishment, such as the composting plant, restaurant and hotel that will open later.
3. Stealing: caning.
4. For intentional murder, the murderer shall be sentenced to death according to the manner of death of the victim. (Accomplices shall be subject to the same penalty.)
5. A mentally ill person who kills someone is guilty of the same crime as an ordinary person. The most serious punishment is a quick death by hanging.
6. If a minor kills someone, he will be sentenced to hard labor in prison. When he reaches adulthood, he will be sentenced to death as an adult using the same method of death as the victim.
7. Anyone who rapes a woman, regardless of whether she is a man or a woman, and regardless of whether the victim's life is in danger or not, will be subjected to chemical castration. It should be noted that the potion used in this castration is special and has an 80% mortality rate.
After reading the supplementary laws, Ole continued, "The Baroness has had these supplementary laws engraved on 140 stone tablets. The tablets will be placed in various towns and near the entrances and exits of the territory by noon tomorrow."
There was immediate discussion below.
After a long time, Ole shouted that the knight selection had begun.
The selection began. Since the pool was not gender-specific, there were both male and female participants.
The competition was very intense. We thought it could be finished in one day, but by dusk half of the participants had not yet competed.
Chi Sui had no choice but to wave his hand and signaled that they would compete again tomorrow.
Ole glanced at Chi Sui, and seeing Chi Sui nod, he quickly announced: "The leader sympathizes with everyone who has come from afar to participate in the knight selection, and has specially opened the Sanhe Hotel under his control in advance."
"Everyone who has signed up for the knight selection can go to the front desk of the Sanhe Hotel with their registration form to register. You will have free accommodation today and tomorrow."
"Those without a Knight Selection registration form will not be accepted for the time being. We will officially open the day after tomorrow if there are vacancies."
Ole's words caused an uproar among the people who came to participate in the knight selection.
"Oh my god, two days of free accommodation! That's going to save a lot of money!"
"I arrived yesterday at noon and stayed at the Adventurer's Guild's inn last night. It cost twelve silver coins a night!"
"At least you still have money to stay. I heard that there are so many people coming here these days that the rooms at the Adventurer's Guild Inn are first come first served. I didn't have much money left because of my travels, so I slept in the alley last night."
"Me too. I have nowhere to stay and I got a stiff neck from sleeping. I wasn't in good shape for today's selection."
Everyone was talking about it, and Victor frowned and looked at Chi Sui.
He knew that Chi Sui had been building a house in the innermost ring during this period.
The hotel is just opposite the Chinese restaurant, separated by a field of pond-year-old rice. That section of the road is blocked and no one can get in because there is an isolation formation there.
Just looking from afar, there was no one there during the day, but when I looked again the next day, the small building had already risen from the ground, and the construction speed was extremely fast.
Are those high-rise buildings hotels?
From a distance, it looks very beautifully built, and it seems that there are pools and gardens inside.
Victor felt heavy in his heart. Chi Sui was planning to block all ways for his Adventurer's Guild to make money!
Victor was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but considering the Demon King, he didn't dare to really attack Chi Sui. He was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night.
Just as it was glorious when we first came to the Barren Land, it's now in such a state of disgrace. The Dark Servant is dead, the Adventurer's Guild has lost its reputation, and now even the profitable sideline business has been snatched away...
