Chapter 7: The Confrontation Before the Emperor (Part II)

Located in the aristocratic district of Elcarloen, there are the imperial capital residences of the seven dukes, which are usually the places where those of the higher noble class gather, and represent the seven dukedoms of the empire - Corman, Lake, Klein, Soleton, Fran, Ostland, and Potter. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Duke Koman's greed and irresponsibility have made people realize that the dukes have no patriotic heart, and the fearsome flame helmet insignia of the Potter family only reminds me of the cruel family.

At this time, Hasir was eating dinner, and after a tiring day and a short battle, of course, he needed delicious food, such as properly grilled steak and wine drinks, and of course, as a great nobleman, he naturally had entertainment during his meal, and Hasir's appreciation of art was completely incomprehensible to ordinary people - it was disgusting that he actually watched the guards torture a poor prostitute while eating, and forced the other party to eat the roasted flesh while peeling the skin.

The sound of a group of people approaching the hallway opened suddenly, and a knight in armor and the Potter family insignia walked in with several people shrouded in black robes.

The tortured woman let out a painful scream that made the knight unhappy, but Hasir's identity made him unable to stop it, "Young Master Hasil, your actions today are really too reckless, just a small problem with the magic device is a big fight in the Imperial Capital Trade Zone, and even injured a royal mage, which will make our Potter family passive in the confrontation in front of the emperor." ”

Hasil ate the steak slowly, admired the torture show in front of him, and said after a while: "It seems that the little beauty is not dead?" It's a pity, okay, loyal Mephistopheles, but a bunch of little villains without a noble title, and even if they wanted to take revenge, they would lose their lives, and I didn't do this for the sake of the gentlemen behind you? ”

The black-robed man's hand trembled, and he was immediately stopped by an extraordinarily tall black-robed man, "The rabid dog of the Potter family has a very sensitive sense of smell, I just don't know if you are really doing this for the trade between us or if you want to do something?" ”

"Where, how could I betray my allies before they were done? I wonder if Your Excellency has found those things, Your Highness Rogers? ”

The tall black-robed man paused, but finally took off his cloak, the fierce man with brown hair and the terrifying cross-shaped scar on the left side of his face, coupled with those sapphire eyes, could not see the slightest nobility, this is the overlord of the Northern Storm Ocean, the holder of the certificate of the Overlord of the Seven Seas that even the Riberians feared and had a headache for, Rogers, the King of the North Seas.

"Boy, you should know that the person who is playing with me or something has always had a regrettable end, what are you doing so unobtrusively this time?"

"Of course, it's to disrupt the situation, but if there is a hint of danger, you have to rely on your help, uncle, as for your target this time, those adventurers who are locked up in the black prison will definitely be able to give you a satisfactory answer, as long as the confrontation in front of the emperor is over, you can deal with it at will."

"I hope you're right, or I'd love to see if the Potter boys can escape the sharks and fishes at sea."

The prostitute let out that cry of pain again, but the voice had become smaller, Rogers turned his head and waved it, a blue light instantly pierced the other party's head, and the flame of life was suddenly extinguished, "Looking forward to the next meeting, but don't torture women in front of me, let me see it one more time and I'll chop off your claws." With that, he put on his cloak again and the other black-robed men turned to leave, only the smiling Hasir and Mephistopheles watched.

It wasn't until he confirmed that the other party was gone, Hasil let go of the knife and fork that he was holding tightly, the blue light that suddenly appeared really made him feel the breath of the strong and the distance of death, he looked at the knight next to him and tried to find the answer, "Young master, that's Rogers's bayonet As for the blue light, it can only be said that it is a magical power, which is completely indecipherable." ”

"Well, what a headache for an uncle, so what does that Highness say?"

"He is looking forward to your performance in the confrontation in front of the Emperor, and he hopes that you will not make any more embarrassing moves, the technical information of the carrier pigeon has just been delivered, as for the Lorraine mage and the adventure captain Irene, they have the guarantee and supervision of His Royal Highness Josephine, so they can't do anything."

"Cut, allies are all bastard guys, I said Mephistopheles, if the other party asks for a joust trial after defeat, can you fight?"

The knight named Mephistopheles didn't speak, just stroked his long sword, the knight with the title of Loyal has experienced too many one-on-one duels, even the recently popular musket life and death duel he has never been defeated, "No problem young master, everything is for the honor of the Potter family." ”

With all the preparations of all parties on this night, it can be said that the whole situation is very strange on the day of the confrontation in front of the palace, the ministers have already formed an alliance to firmly unite the other nobles, they dispatched the garrison of Elcalone, the military garrison, and the private armies of various nobles, and these outsiders gathered outside the mirror palace to wave flags and shout for their masters.

The already weak royal family fought against each other this time, and sent the Praetorian Guards to guard all points of the Mirror Palace, but they were obviously inferior to each other in numbers, and His Royal Highness Josephine discovered this problem when he arrived, and the knight princess instantly ordered the third legion in the suburbs to send troops to assist, and the Royal Mage Association also provided twenty mages as reinforcements to assist in the defense after escorting Lorraine over.

It was in this way that the two sides were stationed in large armies, and the protagonists of the confrontation in front of the emperor entered the mirror palace one by one, preparing to complete a 'just trial' in front of the emperor and nobles.

The old emperor stood on a high platform and looked at the farce in front of the Mirror Palace, sighed deeply, and said to the old attendant behind him: "Old York, this is the current situation of the empire, and it is unthinkable for me to make a so-called righteous trial in such an environment." ”

"Rest assured, Your Majesty? General Battuso is fully prepared and will not let anyone hurt you. ”

"Even if I'm intact, will it do me any good for the Empire? It's really ugly for the descendants of the empress to look like this, if you were really impulsive when you were young......"

"If you really do it at that time, what you want to face is not the Seven Dukes with bad intentions, but the war-torn and ruined country."

The old emperor stopped talking, he knew that what the attendant said was right, even if he was given a chance, he would not let the civil war start, at least not if he started with a shot, resulting in the current situation The old man was powerless, he could only watch one step at a time.

"Let's go, old York, let's start this confrontation before the Emperor, and see what the so-called righteous judgment is all about."

In St. Orlando, if the other party is a big nobleman and has experienced something bad, it is easy to alarm the royal family of this empire, and at this time, if there is a desire to push, it will become a confrontation in front of the emperor, and the emperor and the big nobles will make a choice whether to pardon or judge.

Pardon is very good to say, that is, you have nothing to do, you can go, but if you are judged, at least you will have to be assigned to the frontier, and the worst case is that the death penalty will be executed, once it develops to this point, it is simply that the family and alliance behind the party will go to war, and the consequences will be very bad.

But this time the ministers are not worried, the emperor is not so kind and the friends of the adventure team are weak, so Lorraine? Taylor, Ireen and her teammates, Hasir? Potter had already announced the end when he stood in front of the Emperor.

"There is nothing to say, the defendants are all civilians, and the crimes of wantonly harming the great nobles, disturbing the order of the imperial capital, killing civilians and noble soldiers are too serious, and I propose the death penalty."

"That's right, that's right!"

"Your Majesty, you can ask those witnesses, these bad-hearted adventurers must be executed!"

In fact, the old emperor knew that this was just a formality, and he was powerless to help his daughter Josephine for the assistance requested, at most he asked the mage to serve on the crown prince's side, and as for the adventure team, there was no way.

But Lorraine would not accept this decision, he had long known from the president that there must be a way to break it, so when everyone proposed that the old emperor stand up and announce the guilty trial, Lorraine stood up.

"Your Majesty, and all of you here, we plead guilty."

"Hey, are you out of the blue? Your Majesty has already convicted you all......"

"Please don't interrupt, my confession before His Majesty's announcement shows that we are on our own initiative, but we are asking for a right that has existed since the beginning of the empire, and that has been upheld by the great Empress Sylvia - a sacred right."

Hasir was a little puzzled at first, but when he heard the other man speak of divine rights, he knew that the bastard had really found the one - the offender who voluntarily confessed his guilt could be judged by a joust trial to decide whether he was dead or alive.

The old emperor looked at the mage in front of him and his companions, "You mean to ask for a martial arts trial?" Yes, but there are five of you who don't make it right. ”

"Your Majesty, the five of us are just civilians, and it is completely up to the other party to challenge the Potter family, one of the seven dukes, in order to entrust a warrior, which will definitely guarantee the honor of the other party."

Immediately, when someone stood up to oppose it, the Emperor spoke: "Yes, I agree, and choose your warriors." ”

Mephistopheles silently stepped forward and stood next to Hasil, just when Lorraine was a little anxious to find a warrior, Kalinin? Kruffski stepped out from behind His Highness Josephine, and the stern Lieutenant Colonel of the Rus' clan stood beside Lorraine and whispered, "Thanks to you for thinking of this, I'm afraid you don't know this rule." ”

"What the president mentioned just makes you face a deathmatch is a bit ......"

"Don't worry, I'd love to fight that loyal Mephistopheles myself, and the princess wants me to protect you...... Well...... This time...... If there is really any accident, help me take care of the family, and I will leave the details to the princess, that's all. ”

For the first time in his life, Lorraine was entrusted with everything by a comrade-in-arms who had a life-and-death relationship, and it was really uncomfortable to feel the heavy burden on his shoulders, but in such a crisis situation, he could only watch Kalinin walk seriously to the dueling arena and prepare for a righteous martial arts trial.
