Chapter Thirteen: Stupid Offenses
"Traveler in the distance?" Village Chief Kru was shocked when he heard this. He looked up behind Lina and saw a slender figure slowly walking down the hillside with leisurely steps.
Village Chief Kru was so shocked that his face turned red, and he said anxiously to the people around him: "Hurry up, welcome the guests with me."
Faced with Lina's inquiry, Luo Qing casually said a "traveler from afar", but he did not realize how much impact this identity would have on others.
In a world with underdeveloped transportation, not everyone can be a traveler. Without strong strength, people walking on the road will easily be killed by robbers, beasts, and villagers with evil thoughts.
Not to mention travelers in the distance, they must travel at least one or two countries to be qualified to be called "far". In this era, when traveling to the distance alone, there is no doubt that they must have strong strength and money and leisure.
Adventurers and businessmen also often walk on the road, but most of them have to make a living.
"Hello, a noble traveler from afar, welcome to Caiyun Village. I am the village chief Kru." The village chief Kru respectfully saluted Yuanyuan.
"Hello, Village Chief Kru, my name is Luo Xu. I'm here and I heard that a trial is underway in your village. I'm very curious. Can I bear witness?" Luo Xu did not return the gift, but just raised his hand gently to signal Kru to exempt him from the gift.
Village Chief Kru's heart skipped a beat. Luo Chu's inadvertent attitude was obviously a superior. It seemed that he was not only a powerful traveler from afar, but also a nobleman.
Under normal circumstances, when a nobleman comes to visit, people with equal honorable identities must come to receive him. However, Caiyun Village is not a fiefdom, there are no nobles here, and Village Chief Kru has some numbness.
Fortunately, this was just a guess in Village Chief Kru's heart. Luo Qing did not inform him of his title when he introduced him. Village Chief Kru simply pretended not to know, but his actions were very honest and invited Luo Qing to the trial site with great sincerity.
"Originally, our village had no power to judge, but the matter was urgently taken. A resurrected zombie appeared in the village and had to be dealt with immediately. So we dared to hold the trial. Now with your testimony, the trial is more legitimate."
Village Chief Kru said with a restrained voice, paying attention to Luo Chu's expression while saying that because he mistakenly recognized that Luo Chu might have the identity of a noble, the trial that was originally handled privately would be injustice. If a nobleman was witnessing the trial, the trial could become legal.
At the same time, he was also worried about what attitude Luo Chu would maintain towards this private trial. It would be fine if he agreed, but if he opposed it, the village would be in trouble.
Unfortunately, Luo Heng's expression changed no matter how it was, which made Village Chief Kru unable to see any clues.
As Village Chief Kru arrived at the trial site, the noisy scene that was originally whispering suddenly became strangely quiet.
The big girl and wife watching couldn't help blushing when they saw Luo Xu's face. They turned their head shyly, didn't dare to look at it, and couldn't help but look at it secretly. They couldn't help but talk to themselves: Where did the handsome man come from?
Even many men felt ashamed and lowered their heads.
Luo Qing had already expected this reaction to everyone. After all, it was the curse of the transformed dragon. Even when he looked in the mirror, he wanted to punch twice in his face. It was so hateful.
Luo Ying's eyes fell directly on Melissa.
He was a village girl with a pretty face, with a girl's youth and vitality that she should have, as well as a village girl, such as rough skin, thick calluses of hands and feet, dry and yellow hair, etc. In Luo Xu's eyes, she could only be considered a yellow-haired girl.
However, this made Luo Ying more interested in her. Such a yellow-haired girl who obviously grew up in a village was reincarnated as a lich without anyone's guidance? What kind of talent is this?
Luo Ying's eyes fell on Seber again, and then he was sure that this Seber was not a brainless zombie, but a wise lich, and could be directly classified as an advanced undead creature.
But he seemed unable to accept his identity as a lich, and was struggling meaninglessly there, hoarse and disgust in his white eyes.
Seeing this, Luo Heng smiled in his heart and turned to Cru and asked: "Is the trial completed? What's the result?"
Village Chief Kru nodded and said, "Half done, everyone unanimously decided to burn the zombie Seber to death, but there is still controversy about the verdict of the witch Melissa, and we are ready to hold the second round of voting."
"Oh? What's the controversy?" Luo Qing asked curiously.
Village Chief Kru repeated everyone's opinions.
Luo Heng nodded and asked: "Then it should be the stage of prosecution and defense's statements now. Let the parties with different opinions come forward to make a statement."
Luo Ying naturally said that although he did not study law before, he had watched so many TV movies and knew some procedures. The jury had different opinions, so he naturally had to make statements between the two parties, and the prosecution and defense lawyers each made statements to win the approval of the jury.
As soon as the voice fell, Village Chief Kru's heart skipped a beat again. To be honest, his trial was a mess, which was like asking everyone to raise their hands to vote. How could he know any such procedures as a statement from both sides?
But after thinking about it, he felt it made sense. He asked people with different opinions to come forward to make statements and seek more people's consent. This is much better than doing nothing and voting again directly.
If we vote again, we will stick to our opinions and finally we will not be able to draw a unified conclusion.
This made Village Chief Kru glance at Luo Ying with a higher slight look, and he felt more certain that the other party must be a nobleman, and a noble with official positions and real power, otherwise it would be impossible for him to know the process of the trial.
But before he could say anything, a rough voice rang out: "Who are you? When is it your turn to slap in our village's trial?"
Not far away, a large villager and four or five companions looked at Luo Heng with their eyebrows and eyes, and they seemed to rush up with a disagreement.
The peace and stability of a village require force to maintain it. Caiyun Village is located in a remote place, and no one is willing to come to the corpsal state and has always been in a state of autonomy.
There are no nobles, no knights, and naturally there are no sheriffs and guards. The safety of the village is placed on the strong villagers.
The big villagers are the strongest hunters in the village, Bug, and Melissa and Seber were captured by him. Usually, wolves or wild beasts invade the village occasionally, and he also led people to drive them away. Although they have no name, he has always taken on the role of a sheriff.
In the village, he was the most prestigious person except the village chief Kru. But now, a person who came from somewhere has attracted everyone's attention, especially the eyes of the older girls and young wives looking at Luo Ying, which made him jealous and couldn't help but scold him.
In his eyes, Luo Heng's slender and thin body could slap him down with just one slap.
Brother Bu has never left Caiyun Village and does not know that there are many forces in the world that he does not understand. He can only compare the strength of others with superficial body shape.
Village Chief Kru's heart skipped another beat and shouted: "Brother Bu, shut up! What are you talking nonsense?" While scolding, he looked at Luo Xu worriedly, fearing that Brother Bu's words would anger the other party.
Luo Ying's expression did not change much. He just glanced at Krue lightly and said, "Do you think you don't need to testify? The trial without testimony is a lynching."
"No, no, no, the traveler from afar, Lord Luo Heng, welcomes you very much to witness the trial of Caiyun Village. This is our honor." Kru said anxiously.
Bu Ge, who was scolded by the side, seemed very annoyed after being scolded. He annoyed the village chief Kru scolded him in public and gave him face. The second annoyed Luo Chu ignored him and didn't even look at him. He immediately stepped over in anger and cursed:
"Old man Kru, why are you afraid of him? I can slap several such a slap in my hand. I don't know where it came out. I pointed at you. Caiyun Village doesn't welcome you, get out."
But before he could get close to Luo Heng, a shadow emerged from the ground, condensed into a physical body and pressed it against Bu Ge's side, holding the sharp soul blade in his back hand, pressing it against Bu Ge's throat. As long as he took half a step forward, the soul blade would pierce his throat.
The chill in his throat made Bu Ge stand up all his hair, and he was stiff and he didn't dare to move.
Luo Ying scratched his head a little, and his soul said to Dodalian with some anger: "What are you doing here? Didn't you say don't show up casually? How can I hide my identity when you do this?"
"It is my mission to protect you." Dodalian said quietly.
"I don't need your protection now. Can a stupid human being hurt me?"
"It is my negligence to ask you to take action yourself, or let him meet you," said Dodalian.
"You will lose a lot of fun for me, and chopping people with your own hands is also a kind of fun." Luo Qin said dissatisfied.
Hearing Luo Chu's dissatisfied words, Dodarian was silent.
"Don't do this again next time, otherwise I'll rush you back." Luo Qing finally reminded him.
After all, Luo Heng couldn't let Dodarian go back immediately, which would hurt the heart of this loyal subordinate. He glanced at Bu Ge, and Luo Heng said lightly: "Cut off one hand."
Dodalian raised his hand and fell.
Amid the shrill screams of Buge, the field became silent. Village Chief Kru's heart was so scared that he almost jumped out. Luo Chu's guard turned out to be a black warrior?
The black warrior is a variant of the undead, a kind of reincarnation through the altar, which is even rarer than the undead. Village Chief Kru did not know much about the black warrior, but he knew very well that the identity of Luo Hun, who had the black warrior as a guard, was definitely not simple. Offending such noble people would bring disaster to the village.
