Baron Palin was that little mage who had followed Sui Xiong with curiosity and had finally died in the trap of the Quick Hand, Ryan. After his death, his real body was resurrected by Sui Xiong, and he became the library head of the Void Mask Church. At present, he was also the head of the Mage Corps.

Over the years, Palin, the mage, had devoted himself to the research of smelting and forging technology. Recently, he had just made a blast furnace that could directly smelt iron ore into steel, and that helped Sui Xiong build friendly relations with the Dwarf gods.

Palin’s soul naturally went to the underworld after his death. After several events, he eventually became a Hell Judge.

Later, he was promoted to a Hell Baron, and in the battle to catch the God of Fear who had tried to escape from hell into the abyss, he met the God of Justice, Yorgaardman. Then he met Sui Xiong again, as well as the mage, Palin.

The meeting between the two Palins was quite interesting. They didn’t act like how a comedy usually played out, asking weird questions like, “Who am I?” Instead, they had a good talk with each other. After that, Palin, the Hell Baron, also became a follower of Sui Xiong.

When Sui Xiong planned to exterminate the cult organization, Isis, he naturally thought of Palin, the Hell Baron. As a Hell Judge, Baron Palin hated evil things very much. As soon as Sui Xiong mentioned his plan, Palin showed that he would do his best to help Sui Xiong. He also promised that he would send all the evil guys who wanted to seek protection from their Orc gods and escape the punishment of hell to where they should be. None of them should be spared!

He acted on what he said. He asked his friends for help and reported the news to his leader as well. Finally, he made a group. During Sui Xiong’s trial and execution in the daytime, a group of Hell Judges stayed invisible near the guillotine. Every time one died, the judges immediately took the soul away without any delay. On the way, there were other Hell Kings who helped supervise the whole thing. The Orc gods did not have a chance to save those souls. Even if they did, there would be no hope for them to do that; those souls were doomed to go to hell!

“Thank you,” Sui Xiong laughed and said. “Today, those who believe in Isis must be in a state of panic. If I let them die easily, that’d be too merciful for them. But I have no time or interest in torturing them, thus, at least, I want them to be frightened before they die. That’s a kind of punishment as well.”

“I’m just a little worried. Won’t they really run away and go somewhere you can’t find them?” Baron Palin said worriedly. He looked extraordinarily brave and smart and wore black armor. “If they really run away, that will be like a fly getting caught in ointment.”

Sui Xiong laughed slightly. “Run away? Where can they go? Although the Main Plane is large, I can still find them if I want, no matter where they go. As for running away to other worlds, that’s not what ordinary people can do. Even if they managed to do that, there would be 100 people at most. After all, the main body of Isis can’t run away.”

Baron Palin nodded slightly and agreed with him.

“It’s just that I don’t feel comfortable in thinking that some of the criminals will escape,” Palin sighed and said. “I know it’s unrealistic to blame all of them for the whole thing, but if I can, I hope that I can catch them all!”

“Of course,” Sui Xiong said. “Even if they flee to another world, it does not mean that they really found a way out. After I punish all the evil guys on the Main Plane, I will naturally go after them. Haha, if they really think that they will be safe as long as they escape from the Main Plane, they look down on me too much!”

Baron Palin laughed with relief.

When the discussion was over, Baron Palin was ready to leave. Since there was no need to capture the souls at night, he wanted to do something else first.

As a Hell Judge, he was busy indeed. It was a little exaggerated to say that he had almost 10,000 matters to deal with every day, but he really didn’t have much free time.

However, he liked this kind of life very much. As he had said before, this was what he had pursued when he had been alive—a life full of pressure, risks and dangerous situations.

Sui Xiong had a good sleep that night. Early the next morning, when the sky turned slightly brighter, he brought Steele and the executioners, who had also had a good rest and a good breakfast, to the guillotine in the central square of Iron Sand City.

After last night, the big pool of blood yesterday had almost infiltrated into the ground, leaving only a dark red trace. But it didn’t matter. By this evening, there would be a big pool of warm blood again.
