Chapter 207: The Delusionary Tyrant

"Wait a minute," Ron said, stopping the shapeshifter in his tracks, "Why are you so anxious? This matter is not over yet - I haven't dealt with him yet."

"I don't understand what the difference is," the revealed spy turned back in confusion, "He just stole the businessman's property, and the stolen goods have been recovered."

"Although I heard that you are from Fromm Town, your speech seems to be closer to the City-State Alliance, and you will probably follow similar laws."

"Being whipped, fined, hard labored, and then released. This is the most severe punishment for theft, but what's the use? He will still come back to us. When he changes his form and does evil again, no one can remove him. Confronting Hubert the Shapeshifter Others would blame the problem on the doppelgänger species rather than him personally - because even we ourselves can't catch him again, and every time he commits a crime, it will cause a problem. Our race as a whole has a worse reputation.”

The secret agent sighed; "In order to avoid seeing the shapeshifters here encountering the same situation as elsewhere, I'd better leave as soon as possible."

"I have been a spy for three generations of lords for more than a hundred years. If you are willing, just listen to this advice: Don't try to cater to Quest's ideas, no matter how much he has helped you."

“You cannot build castles in the air.”

"Unless I'm a mage," Ron shrugged, "You know, uh, sorry?"

"Just call me Fitz."

"Thank you - you know, Fitz, I am not a judge," Ron sat on the chair and crossed his legs. "I am not a lawyer, a politician, or a businessman. Compared with judging prisoners according to laws or regulations, I regard it as a disease, and I am more willing to use short, flat and quick methods to solve this problem as thoroughly as possible. "

Ron looked at Quest and then at the other shapeshifters: "You all think it was this Hubert who stirred up the pot of soup with a smelly fish, right?"

"Please rest assured," Quest had already guessed what Ron was going to do. "I will screen them again later to make sure no one else has gotten in."

"There will be no one else," the halfling said sharply, "It is indeed as you said, Lord. If it weren't for him, we would definitely be a group of good and lawful citizens!"

"You should send him back and leave it to Rose City to handle, so as to ensure that he will not continue to harm your territory!"

"Deport? No, no, no," Ron shook his head, "That would be troublesome. Rose City is not close to here, and I have to find people to escort him. To put it more seriously, what if he escapes halfway?"

"Karad?"

"I'm listening." The hobgoblin licked his lips and took Hubert from Quest's hand.

"Look here at the trading post. Try to find at least one resident of each village to gather here to watch: shapeshifters, forget it, let's just say that the race is a doppelganger. The citizens of this race are selfless and collectively uncovered corruption. The black sheep of the racial reputation has made a huge contribution to the prosperity of Delusion Land.”

"But since the territory is new and the manpower and time are tight, criminals with such heinous crimes should skip the detention period and be executed today."

"Remember to ask the residents who are watching to go back and promote the publicity. The focus is on the actions of the new citizens, you know?"

"Kill with what?" asked the hobgoblin.

"You are a warlord and I am a warlord?" Ron glared, "Of course it is you who comes up with ideas for this kind of thing - remember to impress everyone a little, so that you can be in sharp contrast to the conscientious citizens."

"Then I understand." Kalad gave Hubert a cruel smile and walked out. But at this time, Hubert, who was inexplicably sentenced to death, was no longer calm and howled like a killing pig.

"Wait a moment! You can't just kill me, this is tyranny! You tyrant!"

"Quest, you idiots, do you think he won't treat you like this?! Do you still remember our tradition?"

"If a creature of our species is killed, we must hug him and bite him to death!"

"Sir, don't listen to his nonsense!" Quest panicked and waved his hands at Ron repeatedly, "I know you are not such a person!"

"But they don't know," Victoria suddenly said, "Ron, you'd better give him a crime. If he is sentenced like this just for attempted theft, is it still..."

This may set a precedent in their small territory, which is not a good thing if they follow the legal tradition.

"Who said it was because he attempted theft?" Ron glanced at the pastor in surprise, then slapped his forehead regretfully, "Karad, come back quickly! Didn't I explain the reasons for trying him?"

"Hubert, you just admitted that you murdered a silk merchant, and the victim was a member of your own tribe, right?"

"I can testify," Fitz, Quest's former colleague, said after thinking about it immediately, "This kind of bestiality is simply appalling and cannot be tolerated even according to the traditions of our race!"

"Yes, yes, that's right! This will never be tolerated!" Many of the shapeshifters survived by relying on their own adaptability and flexibility. How could they not understand what Ron meant even now?

A human lord who is cruel and cruel and kills their doppelgangers for the slightest mistake is undoubtedly a terrible tyrant, and it will be difficult for them to accept living under the rule of such a person in the future. But what if the lord executes a shape-shifter who has a long criminal record and even killed his compatriots?

This is justice for God!

As we all know, the vast majority of changelings cannot join the upper class, so they have no right to judge, and lynching within their own race is unlikely to be accepted by everyone - but as a lord, Ron does not have these problems!

"You are overstepping the bounds of law enforcement!" Hubert still wanted to struggle. "Even if you charge me with murder, you have to send me back to Rose City! This is against the rules!"

The hobgoblin went up and slapped him: "Stop it! We are not a city-state alliance that we joined as independent city-states. How can we not cross the line? When we are on our territory, you still want to use the Rose City to suppress us?! "

"The young people here are enough to form the next generation of the Rose Council," Ivy curled her lips, "If you insist on following the process, it's the same here."

"Besides, even if it goes through the process, Ron's letter of appointment was granted by Mayor Victor of Frome Town. Even if it is sent, it must be sent to Frome Town. Rose City has no right to directly interfere in the internal affairs of its allies."

"Send it to Fromm for free." Ron pointed to the letter of appointment mounted in a conspicuous place in the hall - this was the basis for his legal possession of this place. "Did you see that? I was delusional. You can exercise full lord power without reporting everything to Mayor Victor.”

"Are you satisfied? Karad, drag him out."
