In a room on the second floor of the red pupil tavern, the atmosphere in the air is solid. Only the light fog from the pipe in the old man''s hand can prove that the person sitting here is not a sculpture for setting. Roland saw a lot of familiar faces at the big table in the room. Emias and one eyed, needless to say, after cheese left, they were completely ruled by the shadow dwellers of the royal capital. As the most firm ally of the witch, hill, the leader of Dementors, is also sitting in a very prominent position. Beside the female doctor is a little guy who has replaced lightning to become the leader of the dwarfs. When she sees Roland, she shows a happy look. All dwarfs like this bearded human.
In addition to the two, Roland was surprised to see representatives of the Edwards family and bat people sitting at the big table. This is a very interesting thing. Although their seats are not very impressive, they are sitting here after all. It is hard to imagine the mentality of other dark races in Wangdu who agreed to join the meeting after betrayal. However, the absence of one person made the magician feel a little surprised.
"And the rain?" Roland asked casually. In fact, he was quite concerned about the man''s whereabouts.
"I don''t know. He disappeared after the battle of Wangdu. Although there were no witnesses, the possibility that he had left the capital was not ruled out. With his skill, he can come and go at will, whether it is the wall or the wilderness. And at the end of the day, no one knows why he came here Hill answered, sorting out the parchment spread out on his desk, that the disappearance of the rain had long been noticed, but for the residents of Wangdu, it was not a bad thing for the powerful outsider to leave.
"All right." Of course, the old man understood that rain was not as simple as he seemed, and that the bard might have been a spokesman for some terrible existence, but now he could not say anything more. So Roland decided to ask the question he heard on the street first, "when I came, I heard about the new bill..."
"Rat man hunting act." The witch in red said the name, and all the people at the long table gathered their eyes when they heard the name. Emia didn''t care. She picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip of the black tea. "Or its real name, the inhuman hunting act."
"Hum." The ghoul''s representative snorted coldly. Seven of his eyes were disdainful, but the remaining three were mixed with anger and fear. The Edwards, who live with them day and night, know how much power they can produce. However, once they really list the ghoul as their sworn enemy, it will undoubtedly cause great trouble.
"Oh? Can you show me the details of the bill? " The magician frowned. He reached for a roll of parchment from hill, which was the entire bill her people had received. Roland''s reading speed is very fast, three or two minutes to read the contents of this paper. But his brow is more and more frowned with the deepening of reading.
It''s a very radical bill, and it''s provocative. Although the language seems to be quite formulaic, the bill initially classified rat humans as inhuman monsters, regardless of the fact that they were once human beings. With the development of its detailed rules, the document even equates the victims of plague with the animals endangering human survival, denying the fact that they may have the possibility of thinking and communicating.
If this bill was written by ordinary people, it would be fine. Now that the pharmacists'' Association has been suspended, the grey Lion Kingdom has no way to save the rat people. However, as a king, sitter is by no means a tyrant. After the exchange of cheese, he certainly will not issue the order of killing rat man so easily. Besides, even if we want to eliminate the rat people in the whole territory, it should not be a reward bill. It should be handled by the army. This kind of bill simply encourages people to die.
The latter half of the document attributes the appearance of rat people to witches and unclean evil creatures in the territory, namely, casters and non-human races. The amount of money written on the paper is enough to mobilize the whole village and even more people to participate in it. It can be predicted that once the bill is implemented, any alien who carelessly exposes his nature in front of ordinary people will instantly become a street mouse yelled by everyone.
"Beyond their ability, do they really think that a group of ordinary people with pitchfork can do us good?" Said the man at the long table. Indeed, not even witches, Dementors, ghouls, and even dwarfs have far more physical strength than ordinary people, but also have the advantages of race. It is foolish for ordinary people to fight against them only by their blood courage.
"They don''t need to do anything to you. You certainly don''t fear them, and that''s what this bill is really about. " Roland puffed out a puff of smoke. "One side is ignorant and impulsive, the other side is fearless. I can foresee a lot of bloody conflicts without really happening. If so, it''s all right. It''s just normal that a few people die under this friction, and once someone dies in this Crusade, ha ha, hatred will be buried. "
"Human beings are very simple. It''s easy for them to forget about right and wrong and cause, and only remember hatred. If things go that far, we don''t have to stay in this country. " Said the witch, and her words made the old man nod. Emia is absolutely right. Most of the alien species stay in the Cang lion because this small and remote country basically ignores them. If the rat man act is implemented, a large number of "demon hunters" will emerge at least in these decades. At that time, not to mention rat people, other shadow dwellers mixed in human society will be worried all day long, afraid of being seen through."It''s just the middle-level part. If hatred continues to develop, the whole country will be shrouded in suspicion, and everyone will doubt whether their neighbors are monsters. There will be a large number of ordinary people who are framed and killed, and chaos will ensue. If we do not involve everything here in the vortex, we will not give up. " Roland said with certainty. He has seen more than one such example, too fanatical belief will make society collapse, completely destroy the existing order.
"What can we do The witches and magicians said that there was a chill behind the people present. As the only two human beings in the room, one eye took the lead in asking. She just lost a lot in this turmoil, and she didn''t want to see the future of the two populations at all.
Silence, emia and Roland looked at each other, all showing a bitter smile. A moment later, the old man knocked the ash on the table and took the lead to open his mouth. "There are no more than three solutions. First, you start preparing for evacuation when the impact of the bill is still limited to rat people. Leave the kingdom before humans notice. Of course, I believe that since you have not abandoned this place in the face of rat man and lich, it is estimated that no one will escape now
"Second, by any means, by threat or by magic, change the mind of King sitter Hearn, the author of this bill, to take back his orders. This is the easiest way to do it, and so are most of the countries that have avoided this fate in my knowledge. I''m not sure, but I don''t think it''s that easy this time. Sitter is not a despot, not to mention a tyrant. He has been in contact with cheese, and he has been an adventurer. Since he has not thought about dealing with different kinds in his management for so many years, he will not now. So my inference is that someone has already taken control of the king. And since cheese did not find any clue before leaving, the strength of this person or group should not be underestimated. I am afraid that rash action can only speed up the speed of your exposure. "
"As for the third Then it depends on the fate. " The magician said this with a wry smile and a shake of his head. His third method is the same as not saying.
But emia obviously didn''t think so, said the red witch. "Do you mean to put the chips on the cheese?"
Roland nodded, "the boy is as stubborn as his teacher. Since he is determined to protect the country, he will not let these things happen. We just need to wait for him to return from the north. Before that, of course, we should also make preparations. The more the better, the more comprehensive, the better. "
The voice of discussion sounded on the long table.
