Chapter 406 Storm shows his power before the people!

Leonard understood and was not sure, but Peiman understood in an instant. She pursed her lips and said, 500 pounds... Damn, the previous bodyguard reward was less than 100 pounds! Are you looking down on the great detective? !
She immediately put on a somewhat reserved smile, waved to Xio, who seemed to have just discovered that there were two familiar faces here, and said in an inaudible voice:

"Good leadership!"

Xio was surprised. With her extraordinary hearing, she must have heard the other party's greeting. Uh... why are they here? I didn't expect to see them until now... did they accept the commission from the rich businessman? It's really hard work... But soon they will be assigned to my team and become official punishment agents. Life will be much better from now on!
She nodded to the two men in response and said in a serious tone:

“Of course, I have heard of the reputation of the great detectives, and I am willing to believe their evidence.

“But even if the people in the ward are really criminals who have committed all kinds of evil, that is not a reason for you to carry out ‘lynching’!

"If I allow this to happen, there will only be one more group of criminals in the world!

"Considering that your criminal plan is only in the 'preparatory' stage... stop it immediately! Loen's laws will punish him!"

The short blond lady's persuasive words echoed in the ears of every parent. They looked at each other, and were more or less hesitant. The fact that their children could afford to go to public school in Backlund showed that their families were not poor. They could roughly understand what the female police officer was saying, and they also realized that what the lady said made sense, but... when it came to their own relatives and children, there was always no reason to speak of it.

A middle-aged man with a thin face moved his throat and said excitedly:

"No, I don't understand! Aren't Loen's laws supposed to protect us ordinary citizens and punish evildoers? Why are you protecting that cultist now?
“I don’t understand! Someone did something evil and harmed our children, and we still smiled and protected the criminals and gave them treatment… Isn’t it what we should do to let them die?!

"And officer! Madam officer! Excuse me for asking what your faith is?! If you found any cult activities at Sivellaus Field... wouldn't you shoot him on the spot? Storm above! I can't help but begin to doubt whether your faith is firm!"

"..." Leonard and Peiman couldn't help but marvel at it. Storm's followers began to doubt Storm's belief in the "Made Punisher"!
Xio's mind suddenly went into a trance, and she seemed to be back in the East District where poor people were everywhere, back to the East District a few months ago.

At that time, "Arbitrator" Hugh Dilcher had gained some fame in the East District, so some poor people who encountered injustice would think of her and seek help from her.

She was also happy to do these things, and she handled things in the same way at that time... straightforward, no, it should be said that she was "reckless"...

Once, in order to persuade a villain, she took some extreme methods, and then she faced imprisonment... It was all thanks to Fors's seeking help from Miss Audrey and Viscount Grallint, the noble children who were interested in extraordinary affairs, that the situation was finally calmed down.

Xio scratched his frizzy blond hair in confusion. It turned out that his thoughts and attitudes at that time were exactly the same as those of the parents in front of him. They all believed that the wicked should be punished immediately. It turned out that he would also use "lynching" at will.

Then why, in less than two months, I have become accustomed to doing things according to regulations and laws?

Xio stretched out her right hand and took out the "Senior Inspector" badge she had just received from her pocket. She stroked the pattern of crossed swords and a crown on it, "Is it this? Is it the changed me?" She couldn't help but ask herself.

"No, it's not."

Xio shook her head. So far, she still had no good impression of Backlund's police force. After all, the people that the human trafficker Capin bribed with the young girls as chips... included many high-ranking Loen police officers.

She pulled out a newly-received "Made-in-China" badge from her pocket. She touched the lightning and wave patterns on the badge very solemnly, and her fingers actually felt slightly numb from the touch.

"It turns out it was..."

Xio recalled the various things he had experienced after becoming an apprentice punisher: arresting the great pirate Qilingos, joining the "Lucky Team" to eliminate the cultist Lanevus, and then... the boring but fulfilling life in the training ground, the three major churches working together to dig up Amon's tomb, and jointly eliminating the "Apostle of Desire" who assassinated the Duke...

Oh, really, how can you let the interns experience big events first and then let them live a quiet life? Isn't that torture!
Xio smiled as she recalled the thoughtless things that group of violent Punishers had done during those major events:
When I was maintaining law and order in the East District, they actually reminded me, "Little girl, please be careful and go home early when it gets dark."
After the human trafficker Kapin's case broke out, the gang went through all the brothels, legal and not, over and over again, and they would make a scene wherever there was human trafficking involved;
The "outside punishment agents" headed by Old Blue... They would fight for a way out and get a chance for promotion even at the cost of their lives;

They were so shameless that they took their food, drink and lodging receipts to the church for reimbursement, but they would pay every penny spent by their subordinates...

When the Mandated Punishers were injured or reduced in number, the Singer of God, Roy, and Old Blue all became equally furious...

Xio shook his head and said seriously:
“My faith is…the storm.

"Storm is above! The Lord's holy book says..."

She paused, because she couldn't remember what was written in the Book of Storms. Well, she had been sleeping during the time she was reading...

What? You said you couldn't recite it, so why did you quote it? Because she heard Fors say that if you want to convince people with words instead of fists, it's best to quote some famous quotes at the beginning... This is the advice of a famous writer! "The Book of Storms"... Famous enough, right? Just as she was about to say a few words to fool around, Xio suddenly felt a breeze... No! It was already a strong wind!

call!
The strong wind swirled and actually lifted Xiubugao's body off the ground, floating in the air close to the ceiling!

At this moment, Xio looked down at the faces of the people who were looking up in astonishment and fear, and he couldn't help but feel elated. So this is what it feels like to be tall?! Cool!
The next moment, words seemed to ring in her mind, and she repeated unconsciously:

“The Lord once encountered a similar situation with His followers, who said:

“This man has committed a sin, please allow me to take his life and send him to your kingdom to repent.

“But the Lord says:

"It would be easy to kill him, but that goes against my vision.

"If he believes in me, I will forgive his mistake this time, and I hope he will turn back and not make the same mistake again.

“If he does not believe in me, I will forgive his sin, because he does not believe in me, and he does not need to keep my laws.

"The follower said:
"We are humbled by your kindness, but will these evil people betray your love for your people and make mistakes again?
The Lord smiled:
“Just because I forgive him doesn’t mean you need to forgive him too. You can punish him according to a set of human rules.

"Very good. Your thinking is very suitable for governing my people. Soon I will establish a kingdom on earth to protect all people. It will be called... Rune. I will let you be their king. Are you willing... Augustus?"

hiss!
Everyone took a deep breath. So that's how Loen was founded! So Augustus was sent by the God of Storms! No wonder Loen is so powerful and rich! No wonder the Loen royal family has believed in storms for generations!
"God, miracle! This lady is the oracle of the God of Storms! Storms are above!"

In the crowd, Peiman was the first to shout loudly with a tone of fear, awe, and admiration. Then, Leonard, who was reminded by her, made even more exaggerated movements, bowed deeply, and shouted:

"Wind, Storm! She must be a favored one of the gods! Accept my worship!"

"Storm above!" "Praise you! Storm!" "God of Storms!"

In the crowd, whether they were parents or doctors, whether they were believers of darkness or steam, they all bowed their heads and shouted the praise of "Storm". How could they not shout?! They were lifted up to the sky on the spot by the wind! ! Isn't that the manifestation of the iron god of storm?!

The man who had questioned Xio's faith fell to his knees with a plop, tears streaming down his face.
"The storm is above! Only believe in the storm!
"As your believer, I am familiar with the Book of Storms. I have also read this story of the Lord but failed to understand the truth behind it. I deserve to die! I am not pious! I repent!
"I just offended the god's favored one! I deserve to die! I repent!
"I am willing to make a vow! From now on, I will take my family to the Holy Wind Cathedral every day to pray and donate! I only pray that the Lord will not abandon His insignificant people..."

The others followed suit and bent their knees. Even the obese jeweler Loge prostrated himself on the ground and said humbly:
“Thank you, Lord of Storms, for the miracle that has come! My son is safe because of the Lord’s protection! I am willing to follow the Lord’s arrangements and vision, and let the wicked be judged by the Kingdom!

"I confess to you that I did have the idea of ​​destroying Kaupstey privately... I beg for your forgiveness and mercy..."

Xio came to her senses, she felt the wind around her, and found that she could actually control it a little!
What was going on? Was he really being watched by the Lord of Storms? !
She was just wondering, but her mind suddenly turned around, and she suddenly remembered the culprit who caused the incident, Old Blue!
She turned her head and wanted to complain loudly to the old man why he did this, but she was surprised to find that standing next to Old Blue was a pretty and graceful... blonde nurse?! The nurse was also supporting him intimately...

Cough!

Xio immediately shut up. She had heard from Fors that Old Blue seemed to have a special relationship with a female nurse in the hospital...

Tsk tsk, no one is perfect. I didn't expect that someone like Old Blue would also like this...

Uh... is it an illusion? Why does the female nurse look a bit like Lady Freni Augustus?
Xio shook his head and quickly denied his thoughts. Absolutely not! That person's status is so noble. He is the one who helped him to settle the family background problem. How could he make up that gentleman like this!
She turned around and struggled to control the breeze to lift up the people in front of her, bringing this event to an end:

“God loves the world.

“The Lord will forgive your sins, and only by believing in Him can you have the opportunity to enter His kingdom.

“Likewise, the Lord will not reject those who have strayed and returned.

"I have already pronounced the verdict, and all I have to do is follow it..."
