He whispered urgently:"Is destroying the announcement considered a violation of the law?""Theoretically yes..." Pascha was stunned for a moment.Immediately, they turned their attention to the notice board and read the third item on the list of crimes:"...8.

Destruction of public property;..."Really," Biers said out loud.Phil's already pale face became even more pale as he pondered:"What punishment would be meted out for destroying public property?"This was only a minor violation, so the corresponding punishment might be light.If that was true, Phil planned to risk it and tear up the announcement, ending this terrifying and eerie situation."The first offense is flogging," at that moment, a voice came from behind them.

The four people turned around in shock, seeing a young man wearing a long black robe with a tall hat;his appearance was plain.He continued:"The second offense results in having one's hand cut off.I don't know what happens for repeat offenses.""Why do you know this?" Río cautiously held the hidden dagger as he frowned and asked.The young man smiled."I tried it, but there was no effect.

The announcement would quickly recover,""So, did you get flogged?" Pascha asked with a sudden realization."Yes." That young man nodded lightly, "But because I also committed fraud, I had my hand cut off as a punishment.""Fraud?" Biers asked, finding it difficult to understand.The young man replied cheerfully:"Simply put, I didn't personally destroy the announcement.

Instead, I used a dummy;the flogging was also on that dummy."As he spoke, he raised his right arm.His wrist was neatly severed like Phil's, and the skin around it was pale with hints of red, as if still bleeding.Suddenly, the cut started to wriggle and crawl out numerous twisted transparent insects.

They entangled themselves layer by layer, forming a new hand.Seeing these small creatures that couldn't be distinguished in detail, Río and company didn't feel any horror;their minds became chaotic with thoughts racing, making it hard for them to control their emotions.Once the hand "covered" itself again, these supernaturals recovered and took several steps back in surprise, suspicion, and fear.This scene had already exceeded their understanding!"Forget about introducing myself earlier.

I am a wandering magician," Klein, who had committed fraud and destruction of public property, said.He glanced at the four supernaturals and smiled:"My best magic is fulfilling others' wishes.

Do you have any wishes to fulfill?"Hearing this question, Río's spirits lifted as he asked hopefully:"Can we leave Beldan?""Of course," Klein gave a promise, "but not now."Then, he turned to Phil with only one hand."The man has finished his wish.

What about yours?" Seeing that Phil's wish was fulfilled, Biers immediately stepped forward and said:"I want to know where my family is now."Klein swung his left arm and took out a beautifully patterned silver mirror, smiling as he asked:"What was the answer to the question I just asked?"The surface of the mirror shimmered with water, revealing one after another in silver letters:"Beldan Gorling Cemetery..."Biers, with his neck stretched, saw this and felt a heavy heart well up on his face.In an instant, new silver words leaped out from the water:"...
