Brutus did not leave in a hurry, but stayed where he was and watched.
"Why are you still here?"
Brutus pointed with his right hand to the dagger in Juno's hand.
Upon seeing this, Juno immediately understood. She walked to the edge of the pool, cleaned the dagger briefly, and then handed it back to Brutus.
"Is this fish-man Miranda really the source of everything? I think it may not be too hasty to draw a simple conclusion." Brutus took the dagger, "And are you really sure that everything is over?"
"If you doubt me, you can point it out directly. Or -" Juno looked at the fishman's body, "you help me throw him into the water, and stay here to witness the end of it all."
Brutus thought for a few seconds, then walked quickly to the fishman's body, lifted his legs with both hands, dragged him a short distance, and then threw him into the pool.
"that's it?"
"Well, I hope his soul can return to his hometown." Juno squatted down and placed the fish-man's heart on the ground, then stood up and raised his feet as if he was preparing to crush it.
Brutus felt that this scene was a bit cruel and turned his head to avoid seeing it: "Is this the only way to end his magic?"
"Of course, this is an essential part of the ceremony."
"Is this going to end too easily?"
"That's just because the level you are standing at is not high enough and you cannot see the whole picture, so you think it is simple." Juno was busy sculpting the magic circle while answering Brutus's question, "To solve the tower
To solve the crisis in Teto Town, we must find the source of the crisis, and this is precisely the most difficult part."
"So the fish-men are the source of this crisis?" Brutus understood now.
"No, he doesn't even have anything to do with this incident, but who controls his heart has a lot to do with this incident." Juno casually overturned Brutus's understanding, and then explained, "Only he is completely
If you die, and I get this heart and use it to apply magic, then the fish-man who will be resurrected at some point can be completely wiped out from this world."
Brutus looked at the girl with the appearance of Juno in front of him, and he didn't know what to reply, so he had to remain silent.
Juno scattered the fragments of his heart into the magic circle: "There is never a clear line between right and wrong. Sacrificing a foreign race to save the lives of many similar people, I believe you would do the same."
"Maybe," Brutus replied, "but maybe there's a better way, one that doesn't require sacrifice."
"That will only exist in fantasy, everything has a price, the only difference is its size..." Juno stopped communicating with Brutus, she muttered something in a low voice.
Brutus felt that his surroundings seemed to be shaking, and the shaking feeling became more and more intense.
The magic circle on the ground shone brightly, and a white light shot into the sky, then rushed in the direction of Tatto Town. Along with the white light, there was a violent earthquake in the surroundings, which forced Brutus to squat down to avoid the fall.
fall.
Juno, who was standing in the center of the circle, seemed not to be affected at all, always standing where he was.
The violent shaking soon stopped, and everything returned to its previous calm state.
"Okay, what you want to see is over, it's time to go back to the town." Juno's tone was much more tired than before, "And - your final destination is not in the town."
"What about you, do you need my help?"
"No need, I can get back much faster than you."
Brutus knew it was probably because of magic, so he nodded and said nothing more. As for why he didn't take him with him - he wasn't familiar with him, so why did he take a ride with him?
...
By the time he returned to the town again, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. Entering the illusion from the town was fast, after all, the effect was achieved through magic; but it was a long journey back from the illusion, and he could only rely on Brutus's hands.
leg.
"If this kind of magic can be used to transport goods, it will definitely save a lot of trouble." Brutus wiped the sweat dripping from his forehead again and looked at the city gate not far away.
There was a group of soldiers guarding the city gate. Although the city gate was not closed, no civilians went in or out.
After Brutus calmed his breathing for a while, he quickly walked towards the city gate. He thought he would be interrogated in detail by the soldiers, but to his surprise, the soldiers had just asked a few questions, and there happened to be a group inside the city gate.
The guards of Tatto passed by, allowing Brutus to enter the town easily.
"Mr. Brutus, the fortune teller Violet is looking for you. She hopes that you will meet her at the guard camp as soon as possible." The guard captain pointed out the path that Brutus could reach faster before entering, and then talked with him.
The members of his team continued patrolling.
Brutus temporarily stored the dagger and dagger in his hand in the hall of the guard camp, went upstairs to the door of Violet's office, paused for a few seconds, and then reached out and knocked on the door twice.
"Please come in."
Brutus opened the door and saw Violet who was busy with paperwork on the table. He took a few steps indoors and asked, "Has the problem in Tatto Town been successfully solved?"
"That's right." Violet heard the voice of the visitor and replied without raising her head, "Papilia has some credibility. Let me hand you a letter of recommendation for citizenship, but -"
"But what?" Brutus walked to the table and picked up the intact envelope from the table.
"You have to go to Bikels, the capital of Turner Province, to use it." Violet signed her name on the paperwork she had processed, opened the drawer and took out a map, and drew a line with her fingers, "
The fastest way is to go from Tatto Town to Sissoko City, and then go through the portal there to Bukels City."
"If everything goes well, the carriage ride will only take about half a month."
"Wait a minute, shouldn't I be examined by the inspector of Wilson Province? Why do I need to go to Turner Province?" Brutus recalled the procedure Robert told him before and asked curiously.
.
"Because this was written by Papyria after he accepted the transfer to Turner Province as a border tribune." Violet patted the table, "This damn guy is really cheap."
Violet thought for a while and reminded Brutus: "Although according to the procedures of the kingdom, people who have been recommended can also refuse, but what I want to tell you is that once you miss this opportunity, you will never get another chance.
Once.”
"Brutus, as your friend, Robert and I hope you will accept this recommendation. I know you have never been interested in citizenship, but if you want to do something big, this citizenship is essential. Maybe
This is also a good opportunity for you to change the fate of those children."
Violet pointed to the northwest of the Turner Province: "Papilia wants to use this opportunity of being transferred to the border to obtain a ticket to the military nobility, but this ticket can be obtained by any citizen."
"Robert hopes that you will have a chat with him before leaving town. Maybe you are still undecided about paying attention, but you may change your mind after you two finish talking."
