The vice-captain looked at you with stunned eyes, and squeezed out trembling words from the depths of his throat: "...... Be merciful, it's not easy for my brother to climb to today's position...... You and I, aren't we, brothers?"

You nodded, turned to face the law enforcement team, and solemnly said with one hand on your chest: Under the restrictions of the "Honest Domain", there is absolutely no truth in your every word! You can testify that a few days ago, the deputy captain had privately entrusted you with the secret murder of the elven noblewoman in the "Dragon Pavilion". You refuse the request, and instead send Fieldine, a receptionist from fellow elves, to try to convince the noblewoman. Because it is an attempt and an attempt, there is only testimony, and there is no need for physical evidence.

Enough,

An attempted murder attempt, such testimony is sufficient to convict. The law enforcement team didn't ask any more questions, and directly knocked down the wooden hammer.

Lose one's nerve

The vice-captain suddenly lost all strength in his knees, and he barely managed to hold on to the railing and not fall. He thought that he would be the biggest winner of this bloody battle - to bring down his long-standing rival and even watch him go to the gallows, and in an instant, power, status, nothing.

Looking into your calm eyes, he couldn't help but ask, "You...... Do you know what you're doing? Take a mirror and look at it, the fleeting and great power has twisted your mind. Do you really think that you are a god who can decide the life and death of others?...... You can't kill me. ”

You laughed,

And tell him that it is not you who is really twisted by the fleeting and great power, but himself. He can hate you, but when he is carried out of the courtroom and sleeps, he will definitely be grateful to you.

That's it, and he'll know tomorrow.

"Carry it out, I'm grateful to you!" when he lifted his bowed head abruptly, glared at you viciously, and said only two words: "Traitor!"

Messy strands of hair obscured his frantic eyes.

"Honorable Adults. I can confess my guilt, but what does it matter? At least I'm alive, but it's just an attempt, and I can't die. The vice-captain stretched his arms high into the sky, as if he was about to grab something, "I'm going to charge the president of the Adventurer's Guild with three felonies now! He must be buried with me, even worse than me, and even tied to a stake in the corner of the market to expose his body!"

"First, I sued the leader of the Adventurer's Guild and accepted a bribe worth two thousand gold coins! He and I reached a coordinated front and agreed to jointly kill the Speaker's cousin in the Inquisition Court today!"

You listen silently.

Oh?

The law enforcement team stares at you and confirms, "Is this the case?"

You replied that you had not received any bribes from the vice-captain. Taking 10,000 steps back, how can you accept such a huge amount of bribes from the president of a small officially recognized non-governmental intermediary organization? Presumably, the deputy captain has become emaciated and has begun to talk nonsense.

The vice-captain laughed: "Fart! What is a little president? Don't let him fool you! I thought he was just a crumb who could be crushed to death with just his tail finger, but you have also seen his performance in the Inquisition Court today - killing all sides, mastering the rhythm, and controlling the life and death of others. He's a little bit of a ridiculous thing in the world!"

Knocking on the wooden hammer, the law enforcement team warned in a loud voice: "Pay attention to the wording! The whole trial process is fair and transparent, everything is evidence-based, and it is not something that a man can control artificially." To put it mildly, our law enforcement team represents the interests of the kingdom and is not even swayed by the will of the Marquis during the trial. It seems really crazy that you are saying such crazy and insulting things to the law enforcement team. ”

"No, I...... I didn't mean that!" The vice-captain realized that he had said the wrong thing, which angered the law enforcement team, and he looked extremely flustered, hurriedly changed the subject, pointed to your nose and continued to roar, "Second, I sue the leader of the Adventurer's Guild and assign his subordinates to assassinate the daughter of the former boss of the Dragon Pavilion, Jessica!"

You listen silently.

Oh?

The law enforcement team stares at you and confirms, "Is this the case?"

You replied, "You never instructed any of your men to assassinate Jessica." Take 10,000 steps back, you are now the second boss of the "Dragon Pavilion", you don't have to worry about anything to lie down and count the money, if you kill Jessica, it will only be a disadvantage for you: not only will you lose the senior tavern manager, offend the market with a good joint venture relationship, and there will be one less beautiful woman to please the eye at lunch every day.

For some reason, the law enforcement team seems to have been slightly amused by you.

The vice-captain was completely stunned,

His expression seemed to see the sun rising in the west: "Damn, how the hell did you do that? This is your first time in court today, right? Why can you tell nonsense with your eyes open! Accept the magic effect of the "Honest Domain" honestly! I have destroyed all the evidence except for forcing you to testify!"

You smile and nod your head to show that everything you say is honest. In this courtroom, no half person can lie.

Damn! Damn! Damn! I don't believe it! I can't just let you go! It's okay to pay a fine, but I have to lose your skin!--The vice-captain frantically slapped the metal railings with his palms until they were severely twisted and deformed.

"Finally, I sued the Adventurer's Guild Leader for harboring a witch! I had already sent someone to investigate secretly when I pretended to maintain order in the guild hall, called "Raumi"! I hid in the basement during the day and didn't know what to do, with that damn harpy guarding the corridor, my people couldn't sneak in, anyway, it was a witch!

A wooden hammer was thrown in the face of the vice-captain.

"Boy, you're getting more and more out of proportion! The time when the kingdom hunted witches and demon contractors on a large scale is long gone, what are you going to do? After hundreds of years, do you still want to accuse His Majesty the former King of a few generations of misconduct! Or do you want to wait to stir up another popular panic and dig up the remains of a real witch from a hundred charred corpses? You better have proof, otherwise this accusation will turn into a twisted and ugly glyph on your own tombstone!"

The vice-captain tugged at his hair and shook his head repeatedly: "! Why can't I say anything, but he can say anything! I am also under the restrictions of the "Honest Domain", and I am telling the truth! You yourself go and send troops to search the basement of the Adventurer's Guild, go and see for yourself, go to confirm, and find evidence for yourself! Isn't it nice to sit on a high platform!"

Suddenly, a few guards rushed out, threw out several chains made of pure gold and wrapped around the deputy captain's body, and tightened it fiercely.

Although the vice-captain roared angrily, "Let go of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is the vice-captain of the guards!Rank 14 great warrior!Lao Tzu's position today was earned by blood and sweat!Lao Tzu has participated in four major battles!Lao Tzu is the old part of the marquis's army!He is a hero!He is a hero!" But none of the guards really stopped, but instead brandished the end of the long-handled battle axe and fought with all his might. It's good that he doesn't shout that he is a level 14 big soldier, but when he shouts like this, the guards know that they will definitely not be able to kill easily, and the attack will be heavier.

The vice-captain shouted and cursed while spitting blood, and smashed the long metal stick around him, while poking at the throat and head mercilessly. It's a magical story of the vice-captain, who was beaten with all his might for three minutes without any armor and unable to dodge, before finally passing out.

The guards saluted,

The guards carried the bloodied vice-captain down. He will receive the bare minimum amount of healing, which is the level 0 divine skill "Steady Life".

The law enforcement team sighed one after another,

The problem is that now that they have received direct accusations, they must send someone to search the basement of the Adventurers' Guild to search for the so-called witch. When they were about to give the order, the Marquis raised his hand to stop him: "Hey, forget it, don't you think my town is chaotic enough?"

"But the old man ......"

"I went to the guild's basement yesterday at noon, and there was no one but a little girl who was so engrossed in refining medicine that I didn't notice until I turned to leave. Her eyes are clear and pure, and she knows that she has a good heart without the need for magic detection. It doesn't matter if it's a witch or not. The 140/100 man in the court can be tamed even by evil monsters like shapeshifters and harpies, let alone a human girl. ”

Perhaps out of consideration for the interests of the kingdom, the law enforcement team deliberated in a low voice and swung the wooden hammer:

"The three provisional charges have been decided! Not guilty! In particular, the third charge should not be brought again, otherwise it will be punished as the crime of inciting panic among the people! If there is any objection, it can be appealed to a higher court, and any other form of complaint will be dismissed. Now proceed to the last count of the trial, the tenth count!"

Hey?

And also?

You tilt your head to look at the hand of the law enforcement team, and there are no more black letters there. Where did the tenth item come out?

Ahhhh......h The law enforcement team put their hands on their foreheads listlessly and muttered, "Really coming?" Then, the law enforcement team took out another letter, which was not a black letter, but a real-name control with the name of the marquis written on it.

"Old man, don't play, I have taken over the real-name control, but I have never taken over the real-name control of the big lord who has the power of life and death. You can't just do it yourself?"

"I'm this old, what's wrong with playing, it's an accusation, you just follow the process. Hurriedly. ”

Sighing helplessly,

The law enforcement team had the guards carry the bodies of Roberts Doug and the little devil to the courtroom. Originally, they were all imprisoned in the guards, but when the marquis inspected the work, he suddenly asked for the two bodies to be taken away and personally sent troops to guard the town. God knows what the old kid is going to do.

Coughing lightly, the law enforcement team muttered weakly, "The tenth charge, Lord Marquis charges you, the former Baron, Roberts Doug, with "colluding with the rat people to endanger the town." Hello, corpse, is there anything to say?...... Come on, let this corpse speak...... Alas. ”

Corpses talking?

While you're wondering how the corpse is going to speak, several of the Marquis' soldiers walk up to Roberts Doug and cast the priest's level 3 spell, "Dead Talk".

"Well, it's only a few minutes, only a few limited questions can be asked, and there's no guarantee that he'll answer truthfully, or even in a smooth order. Who wants to try it...... Can I go home now......"

Damn it, it's time to be dismissed, I thought it was time to end it, but looking at the little devil next to you, you realized that you had another chance to kill the council. Since the focus of the trial has ended, the atmosphere at the scene is much more relaxed, and many people are also relieved. You now have enough time to think.

What are you going to do?

A, continue to add a fourth charge to the council, which will implicate the speaker himself.

B, forget it.
