The Ninth Duchy, except for the United Court and the Holy Knight Alliance Guard, belongs to the United Duchy, and the rest, like the Knights Guard of the various cities, and the main officials at all levels, all belong to the Duke of the Ninth Duchy.

And the co-chancellor is the first shackle used to check and balance the duke, from the township to each city, there are judges of the joint court.

In addition to supervising officials at all levels, they were also responsible for hearing special cases, and the office of the Ninth Duchy of the Union Court was located in the westernmost part of the main city, which was the most remote part of the main city.

Unlike the prosperity of the East City, this is simply a slum, and among the dilapidated huts, the Earl has finally found it.

A dilapidated kasbah with the words United Court of the Ninth Duchy.

The Count looked around, but found nothing unusual, and always felt that someone was following him.

As soon as Violet Ka poked her head out, she saw Ivan Lina appear behind her, "Teacher!"

"Well, you're here, you check the three people who just entered!" Violet Ka said.

"One of them, last night, entered the Duke's Palace!" said Ivan-Lina.

"No wonder, it turns out that he has really seen the Duke!" Violet Ka's expression turned slightly, and he asked, "The Duke hasn't changed his mind lately, has he?"

"There is no movement, and it is impossible to determine who it is?, and the teacher suspects that the Duke is a member of the Bloodline?" said Ivan-Lina.

"It's not clear if the Duke is a member of the Blood Clan, and in terms of motives, the Blood Clan won't have much interest in the Ninth Duchy.

And the magic remnant you retrieved was actually the seal of the Bloodline. Violet Ka said to Ivan Lina.

"This man has entered the Union Court, could it be someone sent by the United Principality? The previous Union Justice died a little inexplicably!" Ivan Lina said with a slight change in her expression.

"If that is the case, I can not go back!, and leave the Duke's affairs to them to investigate!" Violet Ka said with a burst of lightness.

"Teacher, I think it's better for you to sit in the Ninth Duchy, after all, even the Academy of Magic has sent a sacred-level Vaux here, this matter must not be that simple!" Ivan Lina said.

Violet Ka knew in her heart that the Ninth Duchy was definitely going to be in trouble, and as the Church of the Holy Spirit Magical Order, the Holy Seven Magical Sisters, she must ensure the safety of the Ninth Diocesan Magical Order.

"Ninth Diocesan Magical Order, have you made any recent discoveries?" Violet Ka asked.

Ivan Lina shook her head.

"The Duke came to the Ninth Diocesan Magical Order, completely forgot what happened last time he came, I suspected his identity, secretly investigated, except for retrieving the magic fragments, did not find anything, based on this alone, this Duke is definitely not to be underestimated!

In the United Court of the Ninth Duchy, the Count sat on the main seat, and in front of him were thirteen judges, and these thirteen people all looked at the Count.

"Has the Duke ever been here?" asked the Earl.

"Co-Chancellor, Count Porto, the Duke never comes to us!" replied one of the judges, standing up.

"Oh, what about the last Chancellor, come and hand it over!" said the Earl, glancing at Sachs. Apparently it was Sachs who told him.

"Lord Count, the last Lord Chancellor is dead!" said one of the judges, standing up.

"When did you die?" asked the Count.

The thirteen judges below whispered one after another, but no one answered, and one of the young judges, with an indignant expression, stood up, "It was killed by the duke!"

"Antu, don't talk nonsense without evidence!" an old man pulled Antu back into his seat.

The earl's expression changed slightly, feeling that this duke has made a lot of enemies in the United Court?

"I am here to serve as Co-Chancellor by order of the Grand Duke, and I hope that you will assist me in the affairs of the Ninth Duchy!" the Count had not finished speaking.

Antu, who had just gotten up, stood up again, "There is one thing right now, which needs the approval of the justice!"

The old man beside Antu pulled the corner of Antu's clothes, but Antu was unmoved. The old man sighed and said, "Your Excellency, Antu is a young man, and the death of the last co-justice hit him hard, I hope you don't blame him for being reckless." ”

The Count waved his hand and said to the judge named Antu, "Approve what?"

Antu took out a pile of documents from his hand, "This is the result of my investigation, the matter of the previous chief justice has a lot to do with this duke's close minister, that is, the current lord of the main city. I ask the Lord Chancellor to grant me permission to try him!"

All the judges whispered one after another, interrogating the lord of the main city, this matter should not be underestimated, and the duke's side must be informed.

The Count asked Sachs, "If you interrogate the lord of a main city and ask me for my approval, can I go if I interrogate the duke?"

Sachs's white face was slightly stunned, "You can't interrogate the duke, the duke can only be tried by the president of the joint court." And regardless of the duke's crime, if the verdict is made, the title cannot be removed, and the death penalty cannot be imposed, and the judgment must be signed by the grand duke before it can take effect, which is a legal procedure.

However, the lord of a main city can only be tried with your approval, and the duke has the right to observe, and the duke also has the right to veto your verdict with one vote!"

When the judges heard this, they all nodded, but this was the case, which was why the old man did not let Antu get up.

The Count got up, came to Antu's side, picked up the pile of papers, and signed his name at the end of the documents, Porto!

"Go, call him, and I'll judge him!" the Count was very excited.

Overnight, the door of the main city lord's house was knocked open by Antu of the United Court.

The Paladin Guard of the United Court belongs to the Paladin Alliance, and it is also the law enforcement guard, the leader of the guard, and only obeys the orders of one person, that is, the co-chancellors.

"Who are you, you know what kind of place this is, I am the lord of the main city, I am presumptuous here, be careful that you can't eat and walk around!"

"It's you who are looking for you, on the orders of the Joint Justice, you kill the previous Joint Justice, the evidence is conclusive, arrest him, and try him at a later date! Take me away!" As soon as the leader of the guard gave the order, the knights tied up the lord of the main city and pulled him out of bed.

"I'm the lord of the main city, you can't do this to me, I want to see the duke, I want to see the duke!"

"You'll see the Duke! Even if you report it to the President of the Union Court, I won't let you go!" said Antu with an indignant expression.

A knight of the Paladins handed a notice with the seal of the Co-Chancellor to the captain of the Holy Knights' Guard, and he opened it, only to see that it read, "Lord Duke:

It is now ascertained that the city lord of the main city killed the previous joint justice, the evidence is conclusive, he has been arrested, and he will be tried on a later date, and the Duke is invited to observe!

Porto Chief, the Co-Chancellor of the Ninth Duchy!" The expression of the captain of the Holy Knight Guard moved slightly, "What a Porto! Arrest the lord of the main city overnight and enter the city overnight!"

"The letter has arrived, I should go back too, the United Court will be interrogated tonight!" the knight of the United Court turned and left.

Captain of the Holy Knight Guard, send this letter to the Duke at once.

The Duke looked at the captain of the Holy Knight Guard, looking at the letter, his expression was calm, "I know about this matter, you go down!"

After the captain of the Holy Knight Guard left, the man hiding in the darkness appeared, "Do you want to protect him!"

The duke sneered disdainfully, "What do you want him to do? useless fool, he knows how to kill, kill to pay for life, fortunately, he didn't know about my plan, he died when he died, he was sentenced to death today, and I will change it tomorrow!"

The duke let out a sigh of relief, "This joint justice is not ordinary, come up and give me a dismount, enter the city overnight, and dare to arrest the city lord of my main city overnight!

"Do you want me to deal with him?" said the man.

"You solve this, what about the next one? This is the mistake that the lord of the main city once made! He's not a justice, it's good not to mess with me, if he does with me, give him a few big cases, and let him work for a few years!" The duke looked tired, "Wake people up in the middle of the night, hum, co-chancellors?" When I establish an independent principality, I'll be the first to get rid of you!"

Violet Ka and Ivan Lina saw a group of knights come out of the joint court, and soon returned, escorting a man.

"He's actually arrested the lord of the main city!Wouldn't the duke come too!" Ivan Lina looked serious.

Maybe tonight, the Duke will make a big fuss in the United Court, she would never have imagined that for the Duke, the Lord of the Main City is just a waste.

"You're watching here, I'll go back first!" Violet-Ka turned to leave.

In the underground interrogation chamber of the Union Court, the paladins stood in two rows, with the Count sitting on the main seat, and behind him were Sachs and Sarah.

Antu threw a pile of materials in front of the lord of the main city.

The lord of the main city didn't even look at it, "Hmph, I don't have anything to say to you, I'm the lord of the main city, I want to see the duke!"

"You killed the previous co-justice, the evidence is conclusive, and you still don't admit it!"

Antu looked excited and was about to step forward. Stopped by the Count.

The Count kicked Antu and the knights out of the interrogation room.

Closing the door to the interrogation room, the Count playfully asked, "You say, can I torture you?"

The face of the main city lord moved slightly, "You dare!"

"I do!"

Bursts of screams came from the interrogation room, and even Ivan Lina, who was outside the castle, felt numb when she heard it.

Antu and the knights, who were guarding the door of the interrogation room, were all trembling in their hearts.

"Judge Antu, what if the man is killed?" asked the leader of the knightly guard.

"If he dies in the interrogation room, it's too cheap for him, and the justice will be measured!" Antu stood guard at the door, and the screams made his heart furious.

In the interrogation room, the lord of the main city, his face was full of flesh and blood, and he said with a frightened expression, "You are a devil, you have the ability, kill me!"

The Count is unmoved, what is the devil, I am a vampire, a nobleman!

"Sign and I'll let you go!" said the Earl, smiling.

The finger of the lord of the main city had been broken, and he endured the pain and signed his name on the paper.

"If I signed it, the Duke will reject your verdict with one vote!" he roared with all his might, his voice hoarse with pain, and mocked the Count with a feminine and eerie tone.

The door to the interrogation room was opened, and the Count handed the verdict in his hand to the head of the Knight Guard, "Send it to the Captain of the Holy Knight Guard and let the Duke sign it!"

The leader of the knights' guard agreed, took the verdict, and immediately left the interrogation room.

He left the Union Court, did not dare to delay for a moment, flew on his horse, and hurried to the Duke's Palace without stopping.

Hand it to the captain of the Holy Knight Guard, a fine sweat running down his face.

"This is the verdict!" the captain of the Holy Knight Guard looked serious, "what do you mean?"

"Let the Duke sign!" said the head of the guard.

"Now, do you United Court Knight Guards understand the rules?" asked the Captain of the Holy Knight Guard angrily.

"I only listen to the orders of the co-chancellors, and I don't have to follow the rules you say!" said the leader of the guard, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"You!" "The Captain of the Holy Knight Guard, who was responsible for protecting the Duke's safety and delivering the official documents of the United Court, was not needed for him, but the situation was urgent, and the verdict was delivered to him, and he had to hand it over.

"Don't have a next time, otherwise, I'm not polite to you!" The sacred-level cultivation was released, and the momentum pressed towards the leader of the guard.

"Hehe, I'm just the head of the guard of the United Court, not better than you, I am the duke's guard, you are higher than me in terms of cultivation, but I am on the same level as you!" Not to be outdone, the leader of the guard raised his head and said with the pain caused by the coercion.

Retract the coercion, this is at night, if it is daytime, he will not care about such idle things.

What the captain of the Holy Knight Guard didn't expect was that the Duke didn't show any anger when he heard that it was the verdict.

"It's just a matter of signing, I thought something big was wrong!" the Duke signed his name and handed the verdict to the captain of the Holy Knight Guard, "Tell the Southeast Academy of Magic, tomorrow, go there to inspect!"

The captain of the Holy Knight Guard took the order, and he quickly walked out of the duke's bedchamber, holding the verdict with a puzzled expression.

Handing the verdict to the head of the knightly guard of the United Court, he summoned his men.

"Inform the Paladin Guard of the Southeast Academy of Magic, just say that the Duke is going tomorrow, and let them pay attention to the guards!" said the captain of the Holy Knight Guard.

"But, Captain, it's late at night!"

The captain of the Holy Knight Guard frowned slightly, "Compared to the Knight Guards of the United Court, you are far behind, people work overnight, what about you? The Southeast Academy of Magic once had a high-level magic nun die, if something happened to the Duke there, can you afford to be responsible?"

Faced with the scolding of the captain of the Holy Knight Guard, the man was silent, and after receiving the order, he immediately went to the Southeast Academy of Magic.

"In the main city, only these three guards do not belong to the Duke's transfer, one guards the United Court, one guards the most important school, and the other is the Knight Guard in my hand, now it seems that these three teams have a big gap, and the Duke doesn't know what to do? As long as he is a duke for a day, I must guard his safety!" the captain of the Holy Knight Guard sighed.
