Chapter 284: Cross-examination
"Deacon Lingxi, why are you here?" a middle-aged man who looked like an official appeared in the teleportation hall, followed by more than five hundred guards of the Ace Empire City.
"Baron Michelle, what are you doing here?" Lingxi turned to look at the middle-aged man in surprise.
"Deacon Lingxi has not forgotten that the current person in charge of the city defense of Shante City is below. Just now I heard that a group of very suspicious people teleported from the direction of the ghost city, and I brought someone to check it out. After all, it was Princess Leia's personal order to strictly check the entry and exit personnel. The middle-aged man glanced at Hu De and the others behind Lingxi, and said with a proud expression.
"A group of suspicious people?" Lingxi followed Michelle's gaze when she heard this, and after glancing at Hood and them, she turned her head and said a little annoyed: "Uncle Bald, they are my friends, so they are not suspicious people!"
"There are nearly 300 people here, are they all your friends? Besides, I read their entry application, and it says it's a mercenary group. However, there are more than a hundred high-level magicians among the members of this mercenary group. What? Is this a combination of all the magicians of the mercenary group on the entire continent?" Michelle raised his hand and pointed in Lan Xi's direction, his face sneering.
"So what? This is a magical guild, not under the control of the city guards. Lingxi had a cold face and pretended to be calm. I just came to chat, and I haven't had time to ask about the details of the hundred magicians. However, Lingxi didn't expect that this Michelle would rush directly to the teleportation hall with the city guards.
"The Magic Guild is not under my control, but the defense of the Magic Guild has always been carried out by the guards of our city. Especially at this critical time, more than three hundred suspicious people suddenly poured into the Magic Guild. If our city guards ignore this, if something goes wrong, then they will definitely be able to escape the blame. So I hope Deacon Lingxi can understand. Michelle looked at Lingxi and smiled a smile that she thought was friendly.
"I said Uncle Hood, they are my friends, not suspicious people. And they are only passing through Shante City, and their destination is the Freedom Alliance. Lingxi gritted her teeth and said.
"Borrowing Shante City, but there is no mention of it in the entry application. And even if their destination is the Freedom Alliance, it still needs to be carefully checked. After all, isn't our current mess caused by the problems on the side of the Liberal Alliance?" Baron Michelle chuckled, meaninglessly.
"Uncle Bald, aren't you going back to the Freedom Alliance?" Listening to Michelle's words, Lingxi asked Hood beside him in a low voice with some confusion. Before, after she learned that Hood and they were going to teleport over, she didn't read the report carefully, but just took it for granted that they were going to the Freedom Alliance.
"I'm going back, but the rest of the journey is walking. Hood replied a little embarrassed.
"Huh, why don't you just teleport it, what are the other arrangements?" Lingxi was a little surprised.
"If it's not arranged, it's just that there's no money. Seeing that Hood was a little embarrassed to speak, Aisha took over and replied.
"Uh... Hearing this reason, Lingxi was also stunned.
"If you can't prove that there is no problem with these 300 people, please let me take them back for examination first. Looking at Lingxi, who was whispering to the people around him, Baron Michelle smiled slightly and continued.
"Wait a minute, they're not the suspicious people you say, you can't take them. Lingxi took a step forward and glared at Baron Michelle and said.
"Deacon Lingxi, it's a bit embarrassing for you to say that. After all, it was your teacher, Her Royal Highness Princess Leah, who ordered the strict investigation. You're now blocking the city guards from investigating a group of obviously very suspicious guys, so I'm afraid it's not easy to explain. Michelle continued to smile.
"All said, they are not suspicious people ... Lingxi raised her voice and said, the smiling guy in front of her made her feel very irritable.
"Deacon Lingxi, don't take it out again when you say it. You can't be friends with more than 300 of them, can you? Even if a few of them are your friends, it's not too much for them to come with these suspicious people and be censored, right? Michelle put away her smile and raised her hand to interrupt Lingxi's words.
"How can it be a friend? My little spirit is so good, is it strange to have more than three hundred friends? Not to mention, there are so many young genius magicians in this. Lingxi is also a genius magician, isn't it normal to be friends with them?" Just as Lingxi didn't know how to answer Michelle's words, Leah chuckled and walked in through the door.
"See Princess Leia. Hearing the voice behind him, Michelle turned around and saluted with an ugly face.
"Call me president in the Magic Guild. By the way, it may be that I misunderstood you just now, with your talent, it is indeed difficult to understand this friendship between geniuses, so I think it is strange that Lingxi has so many friends. But it's okay, I don't think Lingxi should blame you for this. Is that right, Lingxi?" asked Leah, glancing at Michelle and looking at Lingxi.
