Chapter 476: Carl the Sinner

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, a middle-aged Dodd with a shrewd mustache and a ponytail stood on the aristocratic table. The middle-aged Dodd was emaciated and had prominent cheekbones, and although he was dressed in a fine brown aristocratic robe, he looked like a groom, which was quite nondescript.

In the face of the gaze of countless people, the middle-aged Dodd did not show the slightest nervousness, but his narrow eyes were filled with a trace of arrogance and pride. He slowly stepped down from the noble seat with what he thought was a reserved step, like a rooster with its colored tail cocked high.

If it were a curvaceous aristocratic lady, or a delicate aristocratic lady, the people present might be interested in slowly admiring each other's graceful steps, but if it were replaced by a somewhat obscene middle-aged man, someone in the audience immediately shouted in dissatisfaction: "I said you are lame, or are you injured in the buttocks?"

"That's it, I think he seems to be more beautiful than Lord Viscount!"

"What the hell!"

……

When some nobles refer to commoners, they always like to use words such as '**' and 'lowly things' to refer to each other, in order to despise each other's ignorance of etiquette and show their nobility. But on the other hand, once the "**" sprinkles, they won't pay attention to the words you use!

So at this time, the middle-aged Dodd looked like he had been splashed with a basin of dirty water, and his face was black and scary, but his pace also accelerated a lot, and he even looked a little stumbling and embarrassed, obviously unable to stand the poisonous tongue of the '** people'......

"Jocelyn, on behalf of my master, Earl Harmon, greetings to His Excellency the Viscount. Dodd, a middle-aged man who called himself Jocelyn, stood at the foot of the Leitch steps, holding his chest with one hand and saluting.

"Say hello to Count Harmon on my behalf, too. Leitch returned the salute solemnly.

In front of so many people, being able to be treated solemnly by the viscount in front of him, who had a lot of prestige even in the entire Federation, made Jocelyn's heart a little fluttering, and at the same time, he was more confident about completing the task that the Count had secretly assigned him.

But just as Jocelyn was about to speak, he saw Leitch, who was still looking kind a moment ago, and suddenly his face sank and said: "Sir Jocelyn, I don't care what you want to say to me, but I think you should understand that interrupting a knight's oath like just now is undoubtedly an extremely rude act, which is not only an insult to the knight, but also an insult and provocation to me!"

The reason why Leitch can be sure that Jocelyn is a knight, not a baron or anything like that, is because only the ten major lords of the Federation are eligible to canonize the title of baron and above, and ordinary nobles can only be canonized as knights. And Jocelyn had already stated that he represented Earl Harmon, so Leitch could be so sure.

Being stared at by Leitch like this, Qiao Celin's face immediately turned a little pale with fright; and in fact, he really didn't know what was rude or not, because no one had ever told him at all! As for insulting and provoking a viscount with real power or something in the other party's territory, the Five Holy Spirits were on top, even if he borrowed ten more dares, he would definitely not be able to do it!

Jocelyn almost instinctively knelt down on one knee in front of Leitch, and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Viscount, Jocelyn has absolutely no intention of insulting and provoking you!"

At this time, this Sir Jocelyn, in the eyes of many civilians present, the other party's sincere and frightened appearance did not have the condescending temperament of the nobility at all, but was more like a poor servant begging for mercy from his master! This could not help but make many people secretly despise this knight immediately......

And when Leitch saw Jocelyn kneeling down and apologized, his face immediately became much better, and his voice softened: "Get up, I only hope that your Excellency will not continue this extremely impolite behavior next time, otherwise I will list you as persona non grata! ”

Getting Leitch's forgiveness so easily, Jocelyn only felt a fluke in his heart, so he immediately nodded his head again and again, and at the same time said "yes, yes". But as soon as he instinctively took a step back, Jocelyn paused abruptly, because he remembered the purpose of his trip!

Thinking of the words that the Earl had told him before leaving, and remembering the tender almost dripping body of the maid Mary that the Count had promised him, Jocelyn's eyes were fiery, and at the same time, thinking of the consequences of his failed trip, Jocelyn couldn't help but shudder fiercely!

After only struggling for a second, Jocelyn took an abrupt step forward and said loudly, "Jocelyn has no intention of offending Lord Viscount, but there are some things I have to say to Lord Viscount right now!"

As he spoke, as if to increase his convincing, Jocelyn immediately added: "This is what our Lord Earl personally explained!"

In Jocelyn's mind, no matter how beautiful the Viscount of Black Wind is now, but in the final analysis, he is still a viscount, I believe he will never dare not give face to an earl, right?

In fact, Leitch also seemed to be really frightened by the word 'earl' specially mentioned by Jocelyn, so this time he didn't continue to accuse the other party, but said lightly: "Since it was Count Harmon himself, and he must say something to me at this moment, then trouble you, sir, I believe I can wait a few more minutes for the knights." ”

Under Reich's gaze, Karl stood up and stepped aside, right across from Jocelyn.

Seeing that Leitch was really frightened by himself, Jocelyn became confident again, he first stroked his throat, and then suddenly pointed directly at Karl and said: "Your Excellency the Viscount can't let this person become a knight under your command, because he is a guilty man!"

"Wow-"

A 'guilty man' suddenly caused an uproar in the whole square! But most of the people were not angry, but extremely excited—ordinary people always had an indescribable and inexhaustible interest in the bizarre, bloody!

What's more, many people couldn't help but feel extremely envious and jealous that the young Karl could be selected as a thousand horsemen, and now they are absolutely happy to see that someone wants to strangle this rapidly rising star in the cradle - you know, the viscount has just proposed the eight virtues that a knight should have, so no matter how you look at it, a 'guilty person' is not qualified to be a noble thousand horsemen!

For a moment, everyone looked at Leitch with blazing eyes, wanting to see how this Viscount, who was always surprised, would respond!

However, when he heard this, Leitch's face did not have the slightest fluctuation, he just looked at the sheriff Margaret on the side, and asked solemnly: "Your Excellency, has Carl Anzath violated any laws of the territory before, and has he touched any constitution of the federation?"

Margaret, who was also dressed in military uniform, immediately replied with a solemn face: "Lord Viscount, Your Excellency Karl does not have any criminal record!"

Hearing this, Leitch nodded slightly, and then looked at Jocelyn, who was secretly proud of his momentum, and said, "So that means that Your Excellency Sir has the evidence of Carl's crime in my territory?"

"What evidence of a crime?" Qiao Celin, who was a little distracted, instinctively asked back.

"Shhhh

I thought I would see a wonderful drama, but I knew that in the end it was a clown play performed and directed by one person, and for a while, the whole square booed, if it weren't for the fact that it might have thrown the Viscount, who was not far from Jocelyn, many people would have to take off their shoes - this idiot!

It was not surprising that those present reacted in this way - in essence, the Dawson Free Federation could be seen as a myriad of large and small noble domains, each of which had its own laws, in addition to a federal constitution that was in effect throughout the federation. But at the same time, the laws made by each territory are only valid within the boundaries of its own territory, which means that a 'sinner' in one territory can be a free man in another!

Of course, if a lord requests an arrest request from another territory, he will not be rejected under normal circumstances, and will even send people to help hunt down the prisoner, after all, there is no stalemate between the two realms for a mere 'prisoner'.

Previously, Leitch first asked the magistrate of the territory whether Carl had violated the federal constitution and the laws of the Black Wind Territory, and the result was no, and then asked Jocelyn if he had any evidence of Carl's crimes in the Black Wind Territory, and Jocelyn's answer was still no-This means that no matter what Carl has done in other territories, within the scope of the Black Wind Territory, he can be regarded as an innocent person!

Jocelyn also suddenly realized this, and looked at Leitch, whose face suddenly became a little gloomy, and his cheeks couldn't help but have a cold sweat rolling down!

Therefore, I saw that Jocelyn's eyes rolled, and he immediately said urgently: "Although I do not have any evidence of Carl's crime in the Black Wind Territory, I do have evidence of his crime in our Biquan River Territory, which proves that Carl is morally tainted! I believe that with the eyes of Lord Viscount, he will never allow a person with a moral taint to enter your Knights! Because his Carl is like a grain of rat droppings, he will only spoil a pot of soup!"

"Besides, this is an extradition order from Lord Earl, and I hope Lord Viscount will allow us to arrest Carl back to the realm!" said Jocelyn, pulling out a white scroll from his bosom and handing it to Leitch.

Leitch took Jocelyn's so-called 'extradition order' and opened it to look at it, but instead of responding immediately, he asked, "What crime did Carl commit in your Windy Valley territory?"

"*** crime and theft!" Jocelyn said in a loud voice.
