Chapter 134: Oliver with "Special Hobbies".
Human beings always yearn for nobility and beauty, even if they can't do it themselves. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Some people will ask what is the significance of theoretical utopia, communist society, and universal harmony since they cannot be realized?
No one is perfect, and no one is perfect. Whether it is an individual or a society, human beings yearn for perfection and know that they cannot achieve perfection, but the road to perfection is harvest. On the way, the walker looked at the appearance of the perfect castle in the clouds on the horizon and built his own castle little by little.
At this moment, this is exactly the case in the civic hall, and the people who applaud understand that it is difficult for them to forgive an enemy like Ji Yuan who wants to put him to death, but this does not affect the fact that there are many people who do not understand, do not support, and think that Ji Yuan is stupid, but this does not affect it
The applause gradually stopped, and the faceless man slowly spoke: "When is the time for retribution!" The Inquisition was created not only to bring justice and punish evil, but more importantly to act fairly and eliminate unnecessary hatred. ”
Everyone nodded in convincing, the Inquisition Court has been established for a hundred years, and it has long become an indispensable existence in Lorendi City. Contradictory? find a court; Bullied? Find the court. It can be said that the Inquisition is the last line of defense to defend the nobility and the plebeian class, and it is precisely because of the existence of the Inquisition that the nobles of the Duchy of Lorendi dare not kill the commoners at will, which is far better than the situation in the rest of the empire where the nobles treat the commoners as adults.
"Pass my orders." The Faceless Man waved his robe, "Engrave this sentence at the door of the courtroom, whether it is the plaintiff or the defendant, I hope they can know that there is no time for retribution!" ”
"Obey the decree of the Faceless One," the chief deacon bowed deeply, and everyone in the audience stood up and bowed their heads in respect of the Faceless One.
The Faceless One looked at Stanley, "Yes, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. ”
Hearing that he didn't have to die, Stanley collapsed in the seat of the defendant's seat, and there were big ups and downs between life and death, Stanley looked at Ji Yuan with a complicated expression, and there was no sense of hatred in his heart.
"Stanley Gatua, in the name of the Inquisition, the Faceless One, has sentenced you to three years from leaving the city of Lorendi, and from holding any public office. You are not allowed to stay in the future where the plaintiff is present. Can you have any objections? ”
Stanley stood up, dragged his dislocated arm and saluted, "No objection, I am willing to be punished." ”
"Okay." The Faceless One nodded slowly, "This trial is over, adjourned!" With the sound of the words, the figure of the Faceless Man gradually disappeared from the high platform.
"Leave the court!" The chief deacon said in a loud voice, and the audience stood up and walked towards the outside of the civic hall, eagerly discussing the case and expressing their opinions as they went.
A group of people from the Folding Blade Mercenary Group had already been escorted down to prepare to be sent to the western border, and the lonely Stanley took a deep look at Ji Yuan and Hathaway, dragging his arms and walking out silently, like a gray lost dog. But in any case, Stanley still succeeded in acting in a play, and the eyes of everyone looking at him were only ridicule, pity, etc., which was much, much better than the end of being reduced to a street rat.
Ji Yuan and Hathaway stood side by side, silently watching Stanley's back disappear into the doorway.
"I'm sorry, thank you." Hathaway said suddenly.
It sounded like a very clueless sentence, but Ji Yuan understood what she meant. Hathaway thinks that she has caused Ji Yuan, so she wants to say sorry, and Ji Yuan let Stanley go at the end, so she has to say thank you.
"What are you talking about, we're friends, and I'm your captain now." Ji Yuan said with a smile.
Hathaway was slightly stunned, then chuckled and saluted playfully, "Yes!" Captain! ”
"Alright, let's go back to Downton Abbey now."
Hathaway nodded, and the two walked side by side out the hall.
"Second Lieutenant Ji, please stay!" A person suddenly flashed out on the side and called Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan looked back and saw that it was a fat man with a gorgeous dress and a big belly, and his huge belly was shaking up and down with the small broken steps.
"Your Excellency?" Ji Yuan wondered, he could be sure that he had never seen this fat man before.
"Hello Second Lieutenant Ji, I'm Oliver, and it's an honor to meet you." The fat man's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he reached out with a smile.
"Oh, hello, hello." Ji Yuan stretched out his hand, "Is there anything to find me?" ”
The fat man's face was straight, and he said: "I have already heard about what happened between you and Glenn before, and Second Lieutenant Ji is not afraid of power for the sake of his clan, which is admirable. Even if he was framed by the Gattuso family, he could walk out of the corridor of interrogation that no one had ever walked out of before, I had long been fascinated by Ensign Ji, but I didn't expect to see it even more than I expected today, Ensign Ji was tolerant and generous, and I was deeply impressed by his bearing, so I couldn't help but want to know Ensign Ji, and if I was disturbed, I hope that Ensign Ji should not be blamed. "It's a deep bow.
Ji Yuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Oliver, "Your Excellency is polite, I am just an ordinary person, I am not worthy of such praise from Your Excellency, it is my honor to meet Your Excellency." ”
Oliver straightened up, smiled wider, and made no secret of his appreciation, "Second Lieutenant Ji is too modest, you are a true knight. It is also my honor to be friends with Second Lieutenant Ji, and I am also a little famous in Lorendi, and if I need to use Oliver in the future, please ask Second Lieutenant Ji to do so. ”
Friend? Ji Yuan's heart moved, this Oliver looked like a nobleman or a big businessman, and he came to say a few words to him and became a so-called friend, what is the purpose? But I don't seem to have much to do with this kind of person.
Thinking in his heart, Ji Yuan made a smile and said politely: "Your Excellency Oliver is too polite, if you encounter difficulties in the future, you will have to trouble Your Excellency." "Having said that, if he really wants to get into trouble, Ji Yuan will definitely not find such a stranger who has only met once.
Oliver's eyes lit up, "A word is a certainty? ”
Ji Yuan could only smile dryly: "A word is a certainty." ”
The two exchanged two more polite sentences, and Oliver said that there was something important to do, so he would go first.
After Oliver left, Hathaway, who had been standing next to him and was silent, said in an inexplicable tone: "I didn't expect him to take the initiative to befriend you." ”
"What? Do you know him? ”
"Hmm." Hathaway nodded slightly, "Oliver has a good reputation in the Lorendi aristocratic circle, has a wide range of contacts, has almost no enemies, and has a very mysterious background, only knows that he is a descendant of a big nobleman, but the most commendable thing is his vision and ability to do business, from a small auction house to a rich businessman, he only took five years." ”
"Oh?" Ji Yuan was very surprised, "It stands to reason that a big man like him has made friends with people of the same level, why did he find me, and his attitude is still... So weird? ”
"I think," Hathaway guessed, "he's got a crush on you." ”
Fancy me! Ji Yuan was taken aback, and his face changed greatly: "Could it be that this dead fat man has any special hobbies?" ”
Hathaway was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "Special hobby? What is a special hobby? Immediately reacted, and glanced at Ji Yuan, "Where do you want to go, I mean that people have vision, see your potential, and want to have a good relationship with you in advance, in case you become something terrible in the future, he will also follow." The nobles often do this, choosing to fund and woo those who are strong when their strength is low, Oliver has always been known for his keen eye, and even he took the initiative to extend an olive branch to you, I think you will soon become fat in the eyes of the Lorendi nobles. ”
Fat? Ji Yuan frowned and was silent, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, to be honest, he doesn't want to be famous in such an environment, but a bunch of troubles are coming, uninvited, and now he can only take one step at a time.
"Shouldn't you be happy to be taken seriously?" Hathaway saw that Ji Yuan's face was not very good, and said strangely.
"Huh? Oh... This one. Ji Yuan smiled, "I'm just a little unused to it." ”
"Alright, let's go back to the manor, I think no one should jump out and make trouble this time."
"Hmm." Hathaway nodded, forgetting that she had only said that she would go to the manor and make a decision.
