"Huh?" Maury narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I wonder when the Maple Leaf Knight will be able to meddle in the affairs of the Inquisition?" ”

Hathaway said coldly, "I'm just here as a friend. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Facing outsiders, Dodge also put away his smile, stared at Mori, and said in a deep voice: "I'm Dodge Morton, and Ji Yuan is my friend." ”

"Oh." Maury bowed slightly, and said apologetically: "It turned out to be the young master of the Morton family, presumably this is Miss Hathaway Gatua, please forgive me for having no eyes." ”

"No need to be polite." Hathaway replied lightly, "This matter has a great impact, and Judge Delure alone is not enough to convince the public, so we have asked for a public question." ”

"Open question?" Maury was stunned.

Dodge nodded and added, "Yes, open questioning, now the citizen Lorendi who has learned of this is waiting in the civic hall for the questioning to begin, please Deacon Morry quickly go to the Grand Judge and the Presiding Judge." ”

Murray glanced at Coren, who nodded quietly.

"Okay, please wait." Maury bowed slightly, then walked briskly out of the hall, and Coren left with him.

Looking at the distant backs of the two, Dodge's eyes flashed coldly, and said: "It seems that this Maury is also the dog leg of the Gattuso family, there are so many presiding judges in the court, but I want to find Dre Gattuso." ”

"This is normal, since Dre Gattuso became the presiding judge, most of the presiding judges of the trial court have been co-opted by Gattuso, let alone these deacons?" Hathaway's face is also ugly, now that she is on the enemy's home turf, it is difficult to win!

But admitting defeat is not Hathaway's style, not to mention how could Hathaway, a knight of justice, watch her benefactor being framed by a scumbag like Coren and being unfairly tried?

Having made up her mind, Hathaway let go of her insistence all along, and said with a complicated expression: "I'm going to visit a few presiding judges now, hoping that the surname Gatua can still play a role." After speaking, without waiting for the two to answer, he turned around and walked away briskly without looking back.

"Wait!" Dodge stopped Hathaway and said with a solemn expression, "Hathaway, are you sure you want to do this?" I can help too, you... Or think again. ”

Hathaway looked at Dodge coldly, "The Gattuso family is the dominant family in the courtroom, can the Morton family alone stop it?" ”

"This, I—" Dodge looked dazed, and Hathaway saw this and bypassed Dodge. Dodge didn't continue to stop him, but stood still, watching Hathaway pass by.

"What's going on?" Ji Yuan was confused.

Hearing this, Dodge raised his head and glanced at Ji Yuan with a complicated expression, and slowly spoke: "Hathaway has become a Maple Leaf Knight, and there has always been a lot of opposition in her family. ”

After a pause, Dodge turned to look at the departing figure in the distance, and continued: "Hathaway is the only female descendant of the Gatua family, and she is generally the best candidate for political marriage, and she should have learned how to be a lady instead of wielding a knife or even a knight, like all other vases. ”

"But that day." Dodge's tone suddenly rose a few points, "At the Maple Leaf Knight selection conference, a masked rider appeared, and he passed all the way and won the first place in the selection conference. ”

"Right under the podium, the people who had lost at the hands of the Masked Rider came together to cheer for the winner. But I didn't know who his surname was, so they shouted: Take off your mask! Dodge suddenly turned his head to stare at Ji Yuan, "You know what? I was one of them, and we were all overwhelmed by the power of the Masked Horseman, intending to call his name feverishly so that the victors could enjoy his glory. ”

Dodge's voice was low again, "The Masked Rider took off his helmet in the face of the crowd's cheers, revealing long blond hair and a beautiful face. Everyone was stunned, the first place turned out to be a woman! They were all defeated by a woman! ”

Dodge closed his eyes, as if he was once again in that scene that was etched in his heart. "I recognized the masked rider at a glance as Hathaway, the tomboy Hathaway when I was a child, and Hathaway who looked like a noble lady when I grew up! Then I exclaimed, 'You're Hathaway Gatua!' ’”

"She said, 'No, I'm Hathaway.' ”

Dodge opened his eyes again and said calmly: "That incident was very big, except for the Gatua family, some noble children who were defeated by Hathaway also voiced opposition out of shame or other thoughts, and finally it was the head of Aragon who came forward to accept Hathaway into the Maple Leaf Knights before it calmed down." But the relationship between Hathaway and the Gatua family can be said to be a rupture, and Hathaway also through her own efforts, from the most basic knight squire to the current captain of the Naoli team, during which no one is convinced. ”

"So..."Ji Yuan was deeply shocked, and at the same time thought of something, and said with difficulty.

"That's right." Dodge sighed, "Once Hathaway asks for help from the family, Hathaway must leave the Maple Leaf Knights and return to being the eldest lady of the Gatto family. ”

"How can this be!" Ji Yuan didn't want to ruin Hathaway's dreams and hard work because of his own reasons, so he immediately chased in the direction where Hathaway left.

"It's useless!" Dodge grabbed Ji Yuan, "As long as Hathaway makes up her mind, it's useless to persuade anyone." ”

"But..."Ji Yuan suddenly choked, he understood very well the feeling of killing his dreams with his own hands, especially Hathaway's dream that was already on the road. He didn't dare to think about Hathaway's mood at this time.

Dodge let out a long sigh, but the words came to his lips with another sigh. "Okay, I'm going to find someone too, and I can't let Hathaway's efforts go to waste."

Ji Yuan stood in place in a daze, wordlessly watching Dodge walk away, until the voice of the staff woke him up.

"Mr. Ji, please come with me." The staff motioned for Ji Yuan to follow him to the civic hall.

Ji Yuan seemed to have just reacted, and silently followed the staff outside, until he came to a door, and the staff opened the door and motioned for Ji Yuan to go in.

"What is this place?" Ji Yuan saw that there was a deep and empty tunnel inside the door, and he felt a little uneasy for no reason.

"This is the only way for the person on trial to go to the Civic Hall, which is on the other side of the tunnel." The staff laughed businesslikely.

Ji Yuan hesitated a little and said, "Is there no other way?" ”

The smiling face of the staff remained unchanged and said, "Mr. Ji, this is the tradition of the Lorendi public trial, and the person on trial must walk from here to the civic hall. ”

"Tradition?"

The staff was still smiling and silent.

"System, is there anything wrong with this?" At the critical moment, Ji Yuan thought of the system for the first time.

"Nope." Two simple words, but Ji Yuan was relieved.

Now that the system has made a judgment, Ji Yuan is laughing at him when he looks timid again, so he raised his legs and walked towards the door. It's just that Ji Yuan took one last look at the staff member before entering the door, and a very standard, very bright smiling face with eight teeth, but it was like a mask, so that people couldn't see the darkness under the mask clearly.

When Ji Yuan walked into the tunnel, the smile on the staff's face dispersed, and they watched expressionlessly as Ji Yuan was swallowed up by the darkness little by little, his eyes were indifferent, as if he was looking at a dead person.

"Crunch!" The door closes gently.

......

The other side.

"Idiot, do you know how much trouble you've gotten into this time." Despite the harshness of his words, his voice seemed unhurried.

"I'm sorry, I knew it was wrong." It was the unscrupulous Coren who said this, and Coren was standing in a study with his eyebrows bowed and pleasing to his eyes, his hands on the sides of his thighs, standing straight.

"Father, I finally got you a position as the commander of the North City Gate, so that you can collect tolls?" The man who spoke got up from his seat and walked over to Cologne, staring at him.

Koren looked up at the man in the dark red inquisitor's robe in front of him, and met the charming blue eyes.

"Big brother, I've been too tight lately, and I'm also fascinated by it..."

"Humph! Short on cash? The man's voice became stern, "I think you're throwing money on those bitches again!" ”

Coren closed his mouth and buried his head lower.

"Buckle buckle." There was a knock on the door.

"Presiding Judge Drew, may I come in?"

Hearing the knock on the door, the man's expression softened a little and said, "It's Deacon Murray, please come in, please come in." That being said, people have no intention of opening the door.

Mo Li walked into the room, closed the door with his hand, and said respectfully: "Judge Derui, what you ordered has been done, and the Shun people surnamed Ji have entered the trial corridor. ”

"Oh?" The man named Dre was overjoyed, "This is very good, and Deacon Maury has done a lot of work." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Maury said modestly.

Cologne, who was originally standing on the side honestly, raised his head in surprise when he heard this, "Big brother, that kid entered the trial corridor?" ”

"Hmm." Derui's tone, which was in a good mood, also softened, but he said again: "You kid pay attention in the future!" Don't let me wipe your ass every time! ”

Coren smiled, "Don't take it as an example, don't take it as an example." Thank you, big brother, thank you, big brother. ”

"Humph! Hope you remember what you said! ”

Dre picked up the presiding judge's crown on the desk, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror and put on the crown, and said, "Okay, now go to the civic hall and settle this matter once and for all." ”

A neatly dressed and serious face appeared in the mirror, and the presiding judge smiled slightly in the mirror, which seemed to be a little unworthy of the simple and solemn dark red robe.

"Humph! Hope you remember what you said! ”

Dre picked up the presiding judge's crown on the desk, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror and put on the crown, and said, "Okay,
