In the center of the town of Anrok Island.

In the square, a three-meter-high wooden gallows is erected, surrounded by a market where the locals live and operate.

The noise of the market doesn't change just because it's the domain of the cultists, so when Ronald arrives here under the guidance of the cultists, the expression on his face is inevitably a little tense.

At the same time, the cultist warlock who led the way pointed to the wooden gallows with one hand, and then enthusiastically introduced to Ronald:

"Mr. Ronald, this is where we meet and where we deal with prisoners."

“……”

"On your side, the folk customs are really simple."

Ronald followed the other man's guidance.

Because it is surrounded by a market where residents are active, the bodies of hanged prisoners certainly do not hang here forever. But judging from the degree of wear and tear of the gallows, it can also be seen that it is a place that can often come in handy.

Without waiting for the cultist warlock to respond to Ronald's emotion, Gwendolyn on the side immediately interjected happily:

"Ronald, the execution here is a rare entertainment."

"It's interesting to put the rally pulpit and the gallows together, right?"

Gwendoline's voice landed, and the cultist warlock confidently answered:

"Of course, this is an idea we should be proud of."

"The existence of the gallows, which demonstrates our authority as rulers, and the establishment of the assembly center here, can also express our management philosophy of being close to the people, the combination of the two is simply a wonderful arrangement!"

“……”

Ronald didn't even have the strength to connect.

Just according to the content agreed before, he slowly walked onto the platform of the gallows, and the cult warlock beside Ronald also immediately stood up and rang the rattle in his hand, and then began to shout.

Bell Bell Bell –

"Everyone, there's something to announce at the city hall!"

"At seven o'clock tonight, Mr. Ronald, Mr. Baprol's best friend, Miss Shesta's lover, and the world's strongest magician, will put the prisoner on trial on [Anroe Island]!"

"I hope you will be there on time, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

“……”

The cult warlock shouted very hard, and the rattle that was rung after a while was also very diligent.

It's just a pity that the residents around the market don't buy it much.

Except for a few younger children, the other adults were almost all busy with their own business, at best turning their heads to glance at him, and then ignoring him.

“……”

Standing in the midst of this noisy desertion, Ronald gave birth to an embarrassing experience of standing here, but not as if he was not here. In this silence similar to the unsheath of the soul, standing on the gallows, he couldn't help but even start thinking about a question-

The one the cult warlock was holding in his hand, and it was obviously a rattle that would ring when it was shaken, so why did this cult warlock still have to hold an iron rod and ring it there?

That's when it happened.

Gwendoline, who was beside Ronald, whispered:

After a brief negotiation at the government affairs center, the relationship between the two has undergone some indescribable and inexplicable changes. And it was in this new mode of getting along that Gwendoline took the initiative to provide Ronald with information:

"This group of cult warlocks has taken the rule of this place by force, but the truth is that except for a few elites, most of the cult warlocks can't manage a city at all."

"Especially [Anluo Island], as an important bridgehead for external contact, it is not allowed to adopt the usual tricks of some cult warlocks to control it, so their interference here has finally become what it is now."

“……”

Ronald was silent for a few seconds, and soon continued to ask about the details he cared about:

"You just said that it is because this is an 'important bridgehead for foreign contacts'?"

"Just like you thought to yourself." Gwendoline was very happy with Ronald's acuity, and she even lay directly on Ronald's shoulder, "Compared with [Anroe Island], [Rooney Kingdom] is the real 'paradise', and when you pass over, it will definitely be an eye-opener." ”

“……”

Hearing this, Ronald had a subtle bad premonition in his heart.

If the place here is not bad on [Anroe Island], then as the base camp of the cult warlocks, what kind of demon cave has the entire country of [Rooney Kingdom] become?

While Ronald was pondering, the cult warlock who had been shouting so hard was finally done.

So he carefully put away the rattle and pinned the iron rod to his waist.

Only then did he respectfully speak to Ronald:

"Mr. Ronald, my job is done."

"Then we can go back first, and come back in the evening, and you and the mayor can deal with this month's prisoners together."

Ronald didn't nod, but asked a question:

"The time is confirmed to be seven o'clock in the evening, and there will be no other changes, right?"

"Of course! Of course, nothing will change. The cultist nodding earnestly and vigorously, "Mr. Ronald, is there anything you can't do?" ”

Ronald replied directly:

"I'm going to see for myself what is going on [Anrok Island]."

"You can go back to your life first, and Gwendoline and I will walk here by ourselves."

"Anyway, I'll be here on time tonight."

“……”

The Cult Warlock's expression was clearly unpleasant.

But because he had just reached an agreement with Ronald, and he also knew how big the difference in strength between the two was. So in the end, he couldn't say a word, and honestly returned to the government affairs center by himself.

When the cultist warlock disappeared, Gwendoline asked:

"Ronald, what do you want to see for yourself?"

"Now that we're all here, I can't just listen to you or those cult warlocks." Ronald said his plan openly, "So in the hours before dark, of course I have to observe it myself in [Anroe Island]. ”

As soon as the words landed, Ronald began to spread his perceptual spells.

The number of residents of [Anrok Island] is not too large, and under the relatively backward production structure, the total population is tens of thousands of people, including the residents who do not live in the city.

And the actual situation of the residents......

It's pretty good!

At least there is no inexplicable sacrifice of people by the caster, and there is no excessive slaughter and targeting.

With ordinary life as the most basic requirement, [Anluo Island] is actually completely qualified.

Ronald couldn't help but whisper:

"In this way, there is really no need to do it......"

……

Until the sun goes down and the scheduled promotional time is approaching.

As Ronald walked towards the center of town, his eyes were cast in the direction of the sea.

is different from Ronald, who started on his own and was one step ahead of others.

After almost half a day, the [Grede] fleet finally sent someone over at this moment.
