Group 28.17-D1 Chapter 1: The Ten Sins of Reversing Good and Evil (1)
·
You have arranged for the strongest and most stable "Elk Stalkers" team to cover Tong En's hiding the corpse and soul of Viscount Polz. In addition, the professional killers of the camp also did the most thorough thing, binding the soul, and sparing no effort on the five minor officials. 2500 gold in exchange for no worries.
In the evening,
The rain is getting lighter and the night is falling early.
Along the way you were towed, the Marquis's son's army did not rush to help deal with the tsunami, but was busy kicking open doors and searching the town from house to house. Even in the midst of the war, neither of you nor the enemy has done so, and the civilians are at least safe in their own homes. There were fires in many places, screams and cries were endless, and Wuxiang Bay seemed to usher in the end of the moment, and it was unrecognizable.
You suddenly remembered what you had mentioned to others a long time ago, that there is only a thin line between the heroes of the people and the rebellious grassroots, if you are really convicted...... Flee, where should you flee if your little territory cannot shelter you in front of the kingdom's army? You can't help but recall Samuel's pretended prophecy at the banquet - victory is not important, it is where you are when you win.
I'm afraid that there are only two things to be thankful for: the number of casualties of the rebels is much lower than expected, and it has to do with your full support, and it is inseparable from the fact that you have taken the initiative to take the most dangerous route, and in addition to this, the market has not been smashed and looted, and there is no need to think that it must have been caused by the idea spread by the young man who asked for medicine at that time. There is a very huge difference between destroying the market or not. For the old marquis, the loss of a capable person or a full money bag makes a world of difference.
was dragged,
You pass by a dozen rebels who are kneeling on the ground, and see them beheaded in public, two of whom you have seen, as if they were the leaders.
You pass in front of the Viscount's Mansion and watch as the banner of the uprising, which had been planted on the top of a solid castle, was cut down by two soldiers and floated into the darkness like fallen leaves.
You pass past more than thirty wounded rebels, bound together by long ropes, and slowly move forward, while two Black Street Killers sit on the steps with two Black Street Killers covering their shoulder wounds, bandaging each other.
You pass in front of the fountain, and the mermaid statues are smashed to the ground of three. Maybe it's an illusion, but the water that comes out of it is dyed red.
You pass in front of a wheelbarrow full of corpses.
You are dragged up the long steps of the courtroom.
The rain may never stop.
Result......
What did the uprising bring......
·
After being thrown into the prison of the Inquisition for more than two hours, you have finally been accosted by someone who has taken care of you. The leader of the soldiers pushed the door open, and the light reflected from the armor stung your eyes.
Just two sentences:
"Get up and go to court. It's your turn to die next. ”
Then he was dragged through the sleek corridors and into the courtroom, which looked like the ancient city, and was pushed to almost the same position as the last time. It seems that history repeats itself, but many details are different from the last time - you are the only one on the trial table who looks embarrassed in handcuffs and shackles, and on the high platform, the main seat is not the kingdom law enforcement team, but a powerful and even muscular cheek, nearly sixty years old, and not many gray haired nobles. The eyes are like looking down at the ants.
he
It is estimated that he is the son of the marquis. Lord Earl, who is in charge of all affairs in the main city of the marquisdom. Perhaps soon it will become the new marquis.
There were only four members of the law enforcement team, and they were all fresh faces around the earl. Beside you, there is Viscount Polz, who is supposed to be a shapeshifter in disguise, slightly raising his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth, looking at you like a chicken in the soup with his peripheral eyes; the captain of the local guard, although all his injuries have been healed and his armor has been taken off, his uniform is full of blood and tatters, and he looks at you coldly; a thin middle-aged man with a hairline at the back of his hairline, who seems to be a member of the council hall, is squinting at you expressionlessly. Looking around, there were very few faces I knew, except for the captain of the guard of the ancient city sitting in the front row of the auditorium—if he still kept his promise, he might be able to say a few words for you...... The premise is that there is a chance to open your mouth from the auditorium.
Obviously, the old marquis was sitting next to him, why did his son sit on the throne of the judgment platform?
Are all the paladins in the Inquisition blind and can't see that the one next to you is a shapeshifter?
You point to Viscount Polz and say in a loud voice: This guy is actually ......!
......
You didn't go on,
For you see the Marquis's son staring at you with cold eyes, like a beast waiting for a rabbit to run to its mouth, for you see the captain of the local guard beside you shaking his head almost imperceptibly, because you see the soldiers in charge of the Inquisition put their hands on the hilt of their swords when they hear the first words come out of your mouth.
The son of the marquis stood up,
Thunderous applause erupted all around.
He sits back down, resting his chin in his hands, and asks you, "?......What do you want to say?" Feed. ”
Yes—a paladin beckoned to the Marquis's son, saluted respectfully, and then announced in a loud voice: "I have examined everyone on the bench, all of them are upright! I am willing to take full responsibility for the results of this examination! May the Marquis live a long life!"
Nodding with satisfaction, the son of the marquis shook his ten fingers at the same time, and murmured:
“
I have seen: the cruel hand of time,
Destroyed the treasures of the past,
The drums of burning fighting spirit beat in the land of Doom,
Raise a beacon fire that illuminates the night walk.
And I see: the ocean of greed,
Occupy the coastal territory of the kingdom continent,
The wrath and delusions of the rabble are turned into serpents of steel,
Pierce through shield armor that lurks in front of unwisdom and evil.
I don't look with my eyes, I don't complain with my tongue,
I had a fever and chills, and hope mixed with terror.
I am the way of lifelessness,
There is no way to die,
I ended the war,
But there is no peace.
”
Then the courtroom erupted in thunderous applause again. Although there are not many sonnets that can be circulated, this one is relatively famous because it was written by the old marquis when he was young.
That year, the old marquis had just destroyed the elven homeland.
Some read the remorse after the war, while others read the courageous determination to continue the war without fear. The son of the marquis, it was the latter. "My father hated the greedy rabble the most in his life. I think it's been made very clear just now. It seems that his unique understanding is more than that.
He slowly opened the first black letter from his hand and read, "Someone has accused you, the leader of the Adventurer's Guild, of "selling illicit salt". What do you want to say about that?"
Belch.
Before you could speak, the fake Viscount of Polz shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Dear Earl, I hope you can be merciful in this matter, in the final analysis, it is also my negligence in managing the market, and I was taken advantage of by a thief." ”
"Well, the viscount is very knowledgeable and broad-minded, which is really rare. The son of the Marquis tore up the black letter and scattered it in front of you, "Then forget it." ”
...... Belch?
Suddenly, the captain of the local guard beside you pouted and said to you in a low voice, "The evidence is insufficient. ”
Recalling the resale of illicit salt, it was the Viscount of Porz who was at a loss, and the official salt and private salt opened the bow left and right, and the witnesses at the time, the market guards of the sea salt vendors, had already fled en masse under the influence of Raumi's spell. McKenna was also a mage, and when she hired a makeshift caravan, she had changed her appearance and left no evidence...... She is a mature merchant cultivated in the ancient city market and will not make low-level mistakes.
By the way, the Inquisition Hall did not use the forbidden magic field in order to open the "Honest Domain", but only used the "Dimensional Anchor" to prevent teleportation on you. In court, anyone who casts a spell without permission can be directly executed, and some methods can subdue the mage.
Probably the son of the marquis thinks that he can put you to death no matter what, and then confiscate all the family property, so he didn't die for the small crime of biting sea salt with insufficient evidence.
But in reality, there is more to it than that.
The Marquis's son slowly took out the second black letter and read: "Someone accused you of hiring a professional killer to assassinate the speaker of the Council and many officials, and the methods are so cruel that they are outrageous. What do you want to say?"
...... Depend on!
Who told him who had just killed him?
Before you could say anything, the councillor next to you saluted the Marquis's son respectfully: "Dear Earl, I happened to be at the scene when the council hall was attacked by the killers, but I was not injured. So, I think, it's a very well-targeted vendetta. As far as I know, the Adventurers' Guild has never had any contact with anyone in the council hall since they came to the Five Alleys Bay, so there is no way to talk about vendettas, and there is no motive to buy murder. ”
"Well, forget it. ”
With that, the son of the marquis tore up the black letter lightly and threw it in front of you
- No, you can see clearly this time, just now one was thrown in front of the captain of the local guard, and this one was thrown in front of the councilor. It's a temptation, a temptation to take sides with these two people, and a warning: don't talk too much, otherwise people will believe it!
The captain of the guard and the councillor turned pale and bowed their heads. Their friendship with you isn't good enough to go to the point of going to the end of the day.
The fake Viscount of Polz may have heard the voices of the two of them, and immediately chuckled.
The assassination of several members of the council is a big crime, no less than the assassination of a minor nobleman, but the son of the marquis is so lightly brushed aside. You suddenly realize that the whole assassination is very secretive, and no one knows about it except for the Maid of Life and Hathaway, where did the black letter come from? I am afraid that the son of the Marquis himself wrote it, and it is impossible to collect the slightest incriminating evidence in such a short time.
It looks like a high-level warrior, but this old martial artist is not a puppet, and he is related to that old man after all.
"Okay, okay......" The son of the Marquis took out the first black letter in the real sense - the Haiyan black letter was probably written by the Viscount of Polz himself, and the assassination of the black letter was also made up - read it out loud. This time, his voice was full of confidence, "Adventurer Guild President, your first charge is "dereliction of management and restraint"!"
"On the 18th, your guild's officially registered adventurer team "Golden Crown" ignored public safety, caused chaos in the streets, and engaged in excessive and excessive battles. Eighteen houses and buildings were destroyed to varying degrees, hundreds of square meters of street pavement were destroyed, six innocent people were seriously injured, and other public facilities were innumerable. You put aside your job as a leader and manager, but you go to experience some adventurer mission for yourself, leaving all your adventurer teams undisciplined and restrained. Failing to betray the Kingdom's commitment, trust, and support for you is a serious case of dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty! This is the third case! I have just searched and confirmed the task register of the Adventurer's Guild, and there is no commission to crusade against the trolls, and it is completely an unauthorized attack to disrupt the peace and do whatever you want. This is an important town in the kingdom, not a field riverside where you run wildly with snot waving twigs. If you want to do whatever you want, what is the difference between an adventurer and a bandit who calls himself a thief? What is the difference between a guild leader and a bandit leader who gets drunk today and robs tomorrow!
"Killed my precious daughter, this is the fifth. What do you want to say?"
......
......!
You're stunned.
The son of the Marquis turned his head and asked, "Haven't you caught the 'Golden Crown' yet?"
"Report to Lord Earl! No trace has been found. They...... Fly away with the red dragon......"
"It's lawless. ”
As if seeing that you didn't speak for a while, the fake Viscount of Polz opened his arms: "Dear Earl and my lords of the law enforcement team, it is very unfortunate that I was beside Lady Sylvana at the time of the crime. I witnessed everything from the balcony, and the "Realm of Honesty" in the court proved that what I said was true. The content of the complaint was "completely true" and did not reflect the slightest falsehood. Although it was a sad mistake, Lady Sylvana did die in the battle between the Golden Crown and the trolls. ”
You see a shapeshifter swearing reverently that there is no lie to what testimony is.
The captain of the guard did not look at you, raised his head, and replied: "After the incident, we rushed to the scene of the battle and the scene of the murder, the situation is true, the data is accurate, and it is consistent with the registration information of the guard. ”
"Although I was in a humble position, I also rushed to the scene of the murder, participated in and assisted in the preservation of Ms. Sylvana's body, and escorted her to the outskirts of the town. It was true that she had died from injuries sustained in battle. The lawmaker said the same.
The Marquis's son may have noticed this, so he held you in solitary confinement for more than two hours, during which time he supplemented the investigation evidence, searched the adventurer's guild, and tried the rebel leader, with the aim of reducing any intelligence information you could obtain. Last time, you were told what the punishment would be, but now you have no way of knowing. It can only be speculated based on the situation in the ancient city, one is a fine, two is a seizure, and three are the death penalty, which is just speculation.
The son of the marquis looks down at you with cold eyes: "The evidence is conclusive, and the evidence is ironclad. Can you plead guilty?"
How are you going to respond?
A, it has nothing to do with me
B, as a last resort
C, yes and how
D, bow your head and be silent
