After returning from the past life, everything around him was still frozen by frost, and time still stopped.

There was an afterimage at the place where Kino originally left. He stood at the place where the afterimage left. The white frost disappeared in an instant, time returned to normal, and the world was once again full of vitality and color.

Chino glanced at the mark of the rejecter, and there was no countdown now.

According to the information disclosed by Li Minkai, the Samsara disguise can present a fake countdown, so once the countdown appears, the possibility of the Samsara team infiltrating must be considered.

But if there is no countdown at all, it means that the invasion has not started, and there is no such thing as pretending to be an invasion.

Kino doesn't know when the countdown will appear. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he can make defensive arrangements in advance.

He is now the administrator of Dusk City. The city has a population of more than 200,000, a standing army of about 5,000, and the quality of its soldiers is better than that of Xilin Town. The military expenditure is sufficient, and it is a powerful force that can be called upon at any time.

Although he has more troops at his disposal, the opponent he invades next time will probably become stronger as well.

He has consumed a lot of values ​​in the triple shackles. The reincarnation team that invades next time may not be Li Minkai's first-level Muggles.

Facing the increasingly powerful Samsara Team, in addition to the regular troops under your command, it is also very important to make good use of the extraordinary beings in this world.

The extraordinary beings of Doguland are basically absorbed by the royal family and the five royal families, and some scattered nobles also own some.

If you want to get the help of extraordinary people, in addition to recruiting yourself, it is also important to have a good relationship with the higher-ups.

The goal of the royal family is too far away for the time being. You must be at least at the provincial consul level, or have some major meritorious deeds to enter the royal palace.

Kino now holds a bargaining chip in his hand - a way to smuggle salt crystals overseas.

He needed an opportunity to enter the royal city and submit information to the royal family in order to gain trust.

Alternatively, it seems good to directly use intelligence to win over one of the five royal families, but the risk of being killed is not ruled out.

Just as Kino was weighing the matter, there was a knock on the door.

"Dong dong dong."

Paladin said outside the door: "Sir, the civil administrator of Puluo wants to see you."

"Wait a minute." Chino realized that he hadn't changed his clothes yet, so he started to change into the administrator's uniform, put the formal clothes into the space ring, opened the door and walked out.

Paladin led Kino towards the conference hall, with a gloomy expression on his face: "He escorted those two people over."

"Those two people?" Kino muttered and quickly realized, "Oh, they..."

Arriving at the conference room, Puluo Civil Affairs Officer Pexi had been waiting here for a long time. He was a short, bloated, fat man with obscene mung bean eyes.

When Percy saw Kino, he immediately knelt down and said, "Your Excellency, Sir Administrator."

Chino sat on his seat and looked at Percy with a playful look: "It's very efficient. I just wrote you a letter a few days ago and you came to your door today?"

In the past, when the civil affairs officer at the same level entrusted him with any matter, especially the trivial matter of sesame and mung beans, Pesci could basically put it off.

If Kino was still the civil administrator of Shilin Town, he would never be able to meet Percy so soon, but now he is the administrator of Twilight City, commanding 11 towns including Puluo, and delaying it any longer would be ridiculous.

Peisi bent down and said respectfully: "Your request is my top priority, so I personally escorted these two people."

Soon, Percy's soldiers escorted two men with gray faces and frightened eyes into custody.

There was a man and a woman. Putting aside the dirt and grime from the long journey, the woman had a pretty face and the man had a burly figure, so they seemed to be a good match.

Pesci introduced: "Jenica Maupassant and Vic Solifa, the two parties mentioned in your letter who escaped with the money."

When the two of them saw Kino, their legs went weak and they knelt down unconsciously: "Your Majesty the Administrator..."

Kino looked at Jenica and praised: "Madam, you are so beautiful. No wonder little Luca is so cute."

Janeka's eyes were wandering, and she asked tremblingly: "Do you know Luca? Where is Luca... now?"

Kino shook his head and sighed: "Unfortunately, Luca and Ramos were killed by horse bandits and left this world. Even if they are still alive, they are locked up in the upper epidemic area without freedom, just like in a cage.

of birds.”

Jenica looked panicked and tried to quibble: "Sir, please be aware of everything! I borrowed the money from Ramos because I was really in trouble with my business. I plan to pay him back after the turnover!"

Paladin's blood boiled up when he heard this, and he couldn't help roaring: "Lie! You damn bitch, you still dare to quibble here? Even if you leave your family behind, you still have to defraud the hard-earned money to save your life. The child is only 12 years old!"

Are you a human being?!"

Both Jenica and Vic shrank their heads and did not dare to speak.

Kino looked sideways at Paladin: "You have crossed the line. It is not your turn to speak here. Apologize to them."

"I..." Paladin was furious and wanted to retort, but the rising blood quickly dissipated under Kino's gaze. He lowered his head reluctantly and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry."

Jenica and Vic quickly waved their hands: "It's okay, it's okay..."

"Let's get down to business." Chino looked at the two of them and said slowly, "I have read the report submitted by the Civil Affairs Officer of Pesi. You and Ramos borrowed money privately during your marriage. You did not even leave an IOU.

Any document that can prove the debt. Therefore, this debt cannot be proved legally."

Paladin was startled and looked at Kino with complicated eyes.

Chino continued: "According to the Doguland Code, there is no doubt that there is no doubt. There is no direct evidence to prove that you took away Ramos' money, and Ramos's testimony was only one-sided. Therefore, in theory,

If you are said to be innocent, even if you are sent to the trial court, the judge will not convict you, nor will your lover. Your affair is a moral issue at best and you will not be punished."

Paladin gritted his teeth reluctantly, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Janeka and Vic felt their tense nerves relax, and their faces were filled with joy of surviving the disaster, and they expressed gratitude: "Thank you! Master Kino! You are really a great administrator!"

[Respect from Vic Solifa:17]

"Thank you for the compliment, it's a matter of course." Kino shrugged, his amber eyes full of smile, "But in fact, you and I know very well that you two did cheat the money, but you just didn't leave any evidence.

Although you are exempted from punishment, I personally think that out of the most basic courtesy, you should apologize to their father and daughter - of course, the choice is yours, I am not forcing it."

Jenica and Vic were exempted, and they must give Chino face at this time: "Yes! We will go and apologize to them!"

Kino asked tentatively: "Are you sure?"

Janeka and Vic said in unison: "Sure!"

"Are you really sure?"

"Sure!"

"Are you really sure?"

Janeka and Vic were stunned. Isn't it necessary to confirm so many times if it's just to say goodbye to the body?

They said with certainty: "Sure!"

Kino rubbed the back of his head: "Okay, since you are willing, then your conscience is still intact. Out of respect, I leave the next choice to you. How do you want to apologize?"

Janeka thought for a while, the cemetery was far away from here, and it would be best to take a carriage, but in order to appear pious, she said seriously: "We are willing to walk!"

"Foot execution?" Kino was a little confused and asked Paladin, "In the "Dogulland Execution Book", is there such an execution method as 'foot execution'? Why have I never seen it before?"

Janeka's expression froze, her eyes widened, and she asked tremblingly: "Wait...what? Execution? Sir, what do you mean?!"

Chino was a little confused: "Didn't you say that you wanted to apologize to Ramos and Luca?"

Janeka was so panicked that she couldn't even finish her words: "Yeah...yeah, just...go to the cemetery to apologize...and say goodbye to the body!"

"Farewell to the body?" Kino seemed to have heard some joke, "Are you kidding me? Dead things are dead, and the body can't hear you talking, what's the point of saying goodbye? I'm talking about apologizing in person.

.They went to the world after death, you should also go to the world after death, otherwise how can you apologize in person?"

Vic was so frightened that he lost his mind: "Sir! This is a misunderstanding! Janeka and I didn't mean that!"

Kino said helplessly: "I asked you three times, three times, and you all said yes, so of course I had no choice but to do it. Paladin——"

Paladin stepped forward: "Here!"

Chino: "Leave this matter to you and send them to apologize. As for the method, if they choose, you let them choose. If they don't choose, you help them choose."

At this moment, Paladin, who was originally depressed, felt that the pores all over his body were open. Not to mention venting his anger, he beat his chest heavily and saluted Kino: "Yes!"

"Ugh! My lord, have mercy! We didn't mean this! Have mercy!!!" As the couple cried, Paladin grabbed their hair, dragged them out, and sent them to the execution ground.
