Lirian's tone only served to further infuriate the crowd and in the next second all kinds of farming tools came flying his way.
The family of the girl who had died flung everything that they could his way as they rained down curses upon him.
But at that moment Lirian was a little distracted, with the voice that sounded in his head, it was soft and gentle, and it seemed to plead with him desperately, yet it vanished so suddenly.
When Lirian returned to his sense's, he was faced with to many objects to count, and he had no time at all left to take control of the energy, in a desperate attempt, Lirian twisted his body suddenly and jumped spinning through the air with such grace that it would put an acrobat to shame.
The objects whistled passed Lirian, coming so close to his body that it threatened to spit the fabric of his clothes.
Those objects that got to close, Lirian allowed them to slap against the direwolf fur that he fashioned onto his armour, and aside from the impact the objects caused him no harm.
When Lirian finally landed he did several quick flips to the side to get out of the area all the objects were being thrown at.
Creak.
The entire inn started to make creaking sounds and Lirian quickly balanced himself as he realised what was coming.
Crash.
One side of the inn caved in, under the intensity of the flames, burning splinters of lumber shot out at the crowd, causing them to retreat and temporarily forget about the death of the baker's daughter.
Lirian carefully placed his legs on the parts of the roof he felt would be the last to fall and addressed the crowd once more.
"You called for me and now I'm here, would someone care to explain what this is all about?" Lirian asked as if he was clueless of the crimes they claimed he committed, his expression one of perfect innocence.
"You still dare to ask," the innkeeper roared at the top of his lungs, and in his hands was a rather axe large axe.
"You raped my wife, and threatened to sully our marital bed, if she did not comply with your wish's," he cried out in righteous fury and the villagers roared at Lirian in anger chanting a song of death.
"Bring out the blade,"
"And smash it down,"
"Take off the head,"
"Off the man who sullied one,"
As they chanted their song many people cast gazes of pity at the innkeepers wife who stood at the back of the crowd with most of the children, to the villagers it was important that the children witness this, so that they could understand the punishment for doing such a despicable act.
Lirian listened to chant from his warm place on the inns roof, the fire had reached the top floors and Lirian could feel some flames dancing on his heels.
"You have stated your accusation, but I proclaim my self innocent of such a crime," Lirian shouted, and took a form of delight in the growing anger of the villagers.
"You speak of sullying your marital bed, but I have done no such thing, but according to your wife you have done such things on several occasions,"
"She cursed and cried about your piggish desires to bring your three little barmaids into your bed,"
"So firstly do not speak to me about sullying that which has already been sullied, by your own doing no less," Lirian said with a righteous look on his face as he raised a finger on his hand.
"Liar," the people started to shout, but amongst them there were a few that looked at the barmaids and Layla to see if Lirian's words held any truth.
The mayor's wife in particular took notice of this and to her surprise her sister and the three barmaids didn't deny the words, in fact looks of fear could be seen on the barmaids face's, and Layla showed no surprise at all to Lirian's claims.
Lirian paid no heed to the people's shouts, "Listen up, I have to clear up my good name before I send you all to your early graves," Lirian declared.
"Secondly," Lirian said raising a second finger, "While the thought of screwing another mans wife is truly inducing of euphoria, I attest that during this life, I'm guilty of no such crime,"
"What happened was that a wife who grew tired of her husband cheating on her, begged me with all her might, to help her repay the favour to her cheating husband, but I denied her every request, even the night before, when she ripped of her dress and threatened to scream rape should I deny her request," Lirian roared loudly and drew his sword, pointing it at Layla whose face contorted in anger.
"Now that I've finished proving my innocence I only have one thing to say, thank you all for bringing me my executioner," Lirian said with a smug smile as he pointed his blade at Cassy.
"But I willing to bet that all of you will have not seen this next part coming, for you have not brought my executioner but rather your own," Lirian said aloud with a devilish smile.
The villagers looked to each other in confusion, however no one looked more confused than Cassy who was quickly becoming the centre of everyone's attention.
"Cassy what is he saying?" a petite and beautiful girl asked who was standing directly behind him.
She was none other than the former barmaid Anna who was married to the cultivator, a true beauty with looks even greater than the mayor's daughter.
But upon seeing the confused look on her husbands face she looked at Lirian and boldly asked, "What do you mean?"
Lirian faced Cassy with a grin, "You sort us out, it was to us that you came, begging for power," Lirian said with a sadistic smile as he looked through Cassy's memories and pulled on everything he thought would be useful.
"We told you to come here for your test and now it's time for you to prove to the organisation your resolve,"
"Now wield the blade that we handed to you agent R6S11 B16U1191 and execute the people of this village," Lirian ordered Cassy with a light laugh as if he was taking pleasure in Cassy's plight.
Lirian knew from Cassy's memories, that while he didn't care much for the people of Willcolly it would be a lie to say that he didn't grow fond of them especially his young and beautiful wife.
Cassy had no doubts about Lirian being his superior, that code name was only know to him and his handler Sire, other than them the only one's that could possibly know his code name were the superiors in the organisation.
Also, Lirian knew the true origin of the long sword in his hand, a mythic graded weapon.
"But the mission…" he started to say before being abruptly cut off.
"Use your head you fool, the mission was merely a front,"
"You know what our organisation represents, and we see potential in you, but if you want to be groomed you must first prove your worth,"
"We have to know that you are not someone who will disregard our efforts in grooming you, after getting a couple attachments,"
"We told you to become mayor, and to do that you had to become close to the people, it might be earlier than planned, but by now I can see that you hold some feelings to the people here,"
"It's time to sever those feelings, you can start off with that woman at your back, she will only serve as a weakness in your future," Lirian said as if he was watching a fun show and couldn't wait to see how it played out.
But that's when a piercing pain shot through Lirian's head again, this time it was ten times more intense than before, "mercy," that voice shouted in his head.
It held that same softness and gentle feel to it, but its pleading was even more powerful than before.
While Lirian was busy dealing with the pain that was scorching his head, chaos started to spread through the villagers as they put the pieces together and realised that Lirian and Cassy were connected in some way.
Seeing the tight grip that Cassy had on his sword and the conflicted look in his eyes, made the people panic, and they quickly came to an understanding that if the two of them were in league with each-other, this was the worst place that any of them could possibly be.
They ran and scattered in all directions, some people were squashed to the ground and trampled to death under the stampeding crowd.
Anna looked at her husband with batted breath, "Dear, he was just making those things up right," she cried and took several steps back as she saw the crazed looked in her husband's eyes.
Cassy was gripping onto the sword with so much force that his entire body was shaking, "I'm sorry Anna," he said taking a step towards her.
