According to Diana's statement, the disguise necklace was a magical equipment she obtained by chance.
With this necklace, she escaped many crises and always regarded it as a treasure.
William agreed very much with this point.
Although William didn't know how to make magic equipment specifically, he probably heard a little about it from Lambrys.
For example, there are very high requirements for the level of the refining mage, and alchemy may also be used, etc.
All in all, magic equipment has always been expensive but not marketable.
"Where did you learn magic?"
"The Kingdom of Dorne."
"Oh?" William looked at her and said solemnly: "When the wizards of the Kingdom of Dorne teach magic, there is no restriction on origin?"
As far as he knew, when Sides trained mages, they had to be screened and only people from the Kingdom of Sides could learn magic.
Even an ignorant child will never teach magic as long as he is not a Sades person.
"I don't know, but my teacher is really open-minded. Even if he knew that I was from Sades, he didn't say anything."
When mentioning the teacher, Diana felt a little depressed.
When her family was in trouble and she was fleeing, she met the teacher who changed her life.
The teacher not only rescued her, but also accepted her as a disciple after discovering that she had a talent for magic.
It's a pity that the teacher likes to travel around, and after teaching her magic for a while, he left.
William murmured softly, frowning slightly, then relaxed again in an instant.
If the Dornish people had no restrictions on teaching magic, they would look more and more like a great enemy.
He has always regarded the Kingdom of Dorne as an imaginary enemy, and often compared Dorne and Thades.
On the one hand, he is looking for Sides' current shortcomings, and on the other hand, he is also adopting the attitude of learning from the strong.
William sometimes wonders whether his idea was influenced by his original body, William...
After thinking for a moment, William recovered his mind and looked at Diana.
She knelt down neatly, her head lowered.
"Do you know what the punishment will be for assassinating a lord?"
"...execution, execution..." Diana's expression was sad and her voice was trembling, but she still knelt and remained motionless.
"Since you know the rules, go down and die by yourself. I can let you choose a more honorable way."
Diana's body trembled and she said "yes" with a tearful voice.
After saying that, she got up and followed Brayman outside.
There are several tools outside, including a machete, a rope, and a guillotine knife...
"Choose one." Brayman said coldly.
"..." Diana looked at the knife as big as a small table, her vision went dark and she almost fainted.
With such a big knife, let alone beheading, it wouldn't be a problem to cut her whole body in half vertically.
Seeing Diana's weak posture, Brayman grinned.
"A big knife can behead people. It's very sharp and won't cause you any pain. But if the person who beheads the person is a little weak, he may chop repeatedly with one knife, so he needs to make up for it with one knife."
One more cut? Keep cutting?
A horrifying picture appeared in Diana's mind, her neck was half broken and she was constantly hanging...
No, never choose this.
"The noose is good. Did you see the ring? Just put it around your neck."
Braiman picked up the noose and said: "The rope is very thick, so you can rest assured that it will never break when your neck is strangled in half."
"However, there is something special about twisting the rope..."
"What's the point?"
"You can choose to find someone to strangle you directly, or you can find a shelf and hang yourself up, or you can find a horse and tie the other end of the rope to the horse, so that you can experience the feeling of running at high speed before you die.
…
If I were to be hanged in the future, I might choose this."
Diana: "..."
Horses used to aid hanging?
Are you a devil?
What if the horse stopped running after running, wouldn't it mean that he would suffer a lot?
No, no, this is definitely not an option.
Brayman seemed a little impatient and said irritably: "You don't want the machete, and you don't want to choose the noose, then choose the knife."
"Well, you can see for yourself. You know the knife, so I shouldn't need to introduce it."
Looking at the cold light of the knife, Diana suddenly felt weak and staggered a few steps.
She couldn't imagine herself being split into two.
She suddenly had an unprecedented clear understanding of death.
"Is there any poison? Why don't you let me drink poison and commit suicide?"
"That's a nice thought. Do you know what execution is? And you drink poison? Do you think this is a bard's story?"
"..." Diana's face suddenly turned pale and weak.
Her eyes moved back and forth between the machete, the rope, and the knife.
Finally, he moved step by step to the knife. At some point, tears rolled down one by one, "Cut it in half, just cut it in half... Even though it's a bit ugly, at least you don't have to suffer unnecessary pain."
Just when she chose to die, William walked out of the hall.
"Diana, are you sure you want to choose the knife?"
"...Are you going to give me poison?"
"Sorry, I don't have anything evil like that."
Hearing this, Diana smiled sadly:
"I only have one request, find someone strong enough to carry it out. I want to leave happily."
William did not reply to her, but looked at her with complicated eyes, and suddenly took two steps closer.
From Diana's eyes, William did not find any cunning.
There is only a touch of sadness and deep desolation.
"There are no big knights guarding the area now. Why don't you use magic to resist?"
"Resist?" Diana opened her dry lips, "Why should you resist? Since you have committed a crime, you should accept the punishment calmly."
Suddenly, she looked at William and said mockingly: "Do you think I am a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"
Yes, I am indeed a bit greedy for life and afraid of death.
An idea flashed through Diana's mind. After suppressing it, she continued: "Hurry up and execute me. I only regret that I was too stupid and was deceived."
Seeing her generous expression, William smiled secretly.
Although he was angry that Diana almost assassinated him, William did not want to kill her.
First of all, the reason for Diana's assassination was not hatred, but a very righteous emotion.
William appreciates this more.
Secondly, she is a magician after all, a magician who is very precious even in the royal capital.
There is not a single magician in the entire Barron Territory, except for Selanne of course, and there is only Aleister who is half a bucket full of water.
If you can conquer Diana, the rewards will be beyond imagination.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Diana is telling the truth.
Although Diana's words and deeds before were very true, no one completely believed her, and Scott even suggested that she be executed directly. He believed that no matter whether the other party's intentions were good or bad, she did almost make a big mistake.
If you make a mistake, you will be punished.
This is in line with the idea of a knight who persists in his beliefs.
William made a decision after thinking about the choice.
