"Calm down, Isaac, explain things clearly!"

Loren, who stepped into the center of the confrontation, first pressed Ain's bow and arrow, protecting the little wizard behind him, and then squinted at the old man with an unkind face, and said slowly to a "megalomaniac" who was in trouble behind him.

That's right, they got in trouble.

And it's a big problem!

Before entering the Broken Mountain Fortress, the black-haired wizard was prepared for the possible "cold reception", after all, they were nominally all of Prince Brandon's retinue, and the "notoriety" of this Highness in the Broken Mountain Fortress was indeed not an ordinary stinking.

Here is the chassis of Conod de Salion. Their group can no longer be like the previous town, and they don't have to fear anyone in the name of His Royal Highness.

"That's right, calm down, and then make it clear!" Gritting his teeth fiercely, Isaac, who had always been indifferent, trembled with excitement at the moment, and his vicious gaze seemed to be ready to choose someone to devour.

The atmosphere in the arena became more and more tense, and the two sides of the confrontation did not move at all, like ice sculptures in a blizzard.

"Ain knows this best, but let me explain. Loren, remember how I got to Wimpal Academy?"

"Abbot Peter mentioned that you are from the village of Grantham. The calm Loren's expression did not move, and his dark pupils kept sweeping over the veteran and the blue-faced soldier on the ground:

"He also said that your parents were peasants and devout believers in the Holy Cross. ”

"Ha, peasants! Abbot Peter is fond of saying good things for men—let me tell you, the farmers of our village of Grantham are a bunch of poor men who have never seen a few copper plates in their lives, and who cannot afford to eat black bread, and who are worthy to live in shacks, and who drink rotten wheat porridge and work for the lord of Riverbay Castle!"

"Not much else, the ring was earned by me in my second year at the academy and with Ain to solve the problems of Graywood. Hey, the sterling silver ring, I've seen it for the first time in my life, and I brought it straight back to that big shack in Grantham, which was worth a year's rent, and was compensation for my absence. ”

"But my Scrooge's father actually hid it himself! As a result, our family did not pay the rent that year, and this dead ghost father was sent to the Duke by the lord of Riverbend Fort, and sent to the north with other unlucky bastards to confiscate the army. ”

Isaac snorted as if grinning, "How is it, do you want to continue listening?"

The little wizard on the side was silent, trying to speak several times, but still pursed his lips.

"Is there a mark on the ring?" Loren didn't say anything, just asked indifferently.

"The ring is from Eagle Hunt Castle, and it has the coat of arms of the Frid family on the outside. Isaac, whose eyes were full of anger, popped out from between his teeth word by word: "My dead ghost daddy likes it, and he doesn't dare to touch it!"

In an instant, almost everyone's eyes looked at the soldier who fell to the ground, and the pale legionnaire opened his clenched palm unwillingly, and on the silver ring in the palm of his hand, there was indeed a sign of two swords crossed.

Two cross-swords crossed with blood, the heraldic banner of the House of Fried!

"Very good, Isaac. Loren's eyes were fixed on the veteran in front of him, and he said indifferently:

"The evidence is overwhelming, and I think it's very clear. ”

"Wait! I took this ring from the deserter's corpse!" the panicked legionnaire explained, "I have already paid for the ring to the logistics warehouse, and according to military regulations, this ring is considered ......"

"Blah blah blah bla Don't fight, how bad is the impact? It's easy to spoil the mood, especially in this sunny day... Weather!"

The cold wind howled, making Brandon, who suddenly stood up, look a little embarrassed, but the bright smile on his face did not diminish in the slightest: "Let's settle this matter peacefully—tell me, soldier, how much did you pay for this ring?"

"Twenty-five silver coins! That's a full color, seventy percent new ......."

"Twenty-five gold coins, newly minted in the imperial capital this year, ten percent new!" Before he could finish speaking, Brandon directly threw the money bag at his feet:

"I bought your ring!"

In the cold gaze of the people around him, the legionnaire trembled and picked up the delicate silk money bag at his feet, even the veteran's eyes that were about to kill did not make him hesitate.

That's twenty-five ten-percent gold coins, and it's a full thirty times the difference in price, not counting depreciation—with such a large amount of money, even if he is kicked out of the legion, he will have it for the rest of his life!

"Very good, perfect resolution of a small dispute!"

Brandon, who was smiling unabated, ignored the veteran's cold gaze and placed the ring in Isaac's coat pocket, not forgetting to applaud his "zealous act". After finding that no one around him paid attention to it at all, he waved his hand awkwardly:

"Disperse, disperse, what are you doing here? The guards are going to assemble at the gate, and the rest of the people are going to do what they are going to do! And this ...... I don't know what the name of the non-commissioned officer may also be Your Excellency the officer, I'm very sorry for the little trouble I caused, but fortunately, it has been perfectly resolved, so how about we forget about it?"

"Oh yes, by the way, I don't have a problem with you going to tell the story of the beloved Imperial Brother Connad, he's used to it anyway, he's used to ......it."

"Brandon de Salion, His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, His Majesty ——!"

The veteran almost interrupted Brandon's speech with a roar, and his eyes were full of fierce eyes and the black-haired wizard in front of him, without the slightest intention of stopping:

"It's not over yet——!"

Indeed, the legionnaires behind the veteran still maintained the shield wall, facing off against the guards behind Brandon, and neither side even had the slightest idea of leaving.

"What do you mean?" said the indifferent Loren for Brandon.

"From the very beginning, this matter has nothing to do with any rings, but two foreign wizards are actually in the barracks, in the barracks of the Broken Mountain Barracks, holding weapons, intending to commit murder! This is an unforgivable felony in the military regulations of the legion!"

The veteran said coldly: "You can take your own people away, we can't control you, but these two wizards must be severely punished!"

"The military regulations of the empire are very clear, those who do it first will be punished with fifteen lashes, and those who wield weapons will be hanged to show the public——!"

The little wizard's face turned pale in an instant, and Isaac, who was still angry, spat on the ground with disdain.

The smile on Brandon's face faded.

"You... Threatening me?"

"You don't know where you came from, a penny veteran who is worth a penny, and you dare to threaten the thirteenth generation prince of the empire, a descendant of the dragon king family who has the blood of De Salion and you have sworn allegiance to the death?"

"Who gave you the guts?!"

In front of the suddenly angry prince, the veteran's face trembled obviously, and his complexion from blood loss was a little gray. But he still gritted his teeth and stood in place, still not retreating.

"The Imperial Military ......" The veteran clenched his fists as if he suddenly remembered something: "That's right, you are His Royal Highness, the object of our soldiers' allegiance, and it stands to reason that we should absolutely obey your orders......"

"But! This is a military camp, a fortress in Broken Boundary Mountain, no one's orders are easy to use, everything is decided by military regulations!"

"Outside, you can rely on your status as a prince to run rampant and oppress us ordinary people. But not in the barracks – this is not a place where you can run wild, all you need is rules!"

Seeing the more impassioned the veteran became, Loren, who was silent, looked around.

Atmosphere...... Something isn't good.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, these words did make the other party occupy the upper hand - now these soldiers may not care who made the first move, and how it became the "truth" of this situation.

They could only see His Royal Highness the Imperial Prince and his "lackeys", using their status to run rampant and bully them, ordinary soldiers of civilian origin.

If you continue to toss around, everyone will have to fall here.

We have to think of a way as soon as possible!

"You just said... Whatever it is, you have to do it according to the military rules, right?" The black-haired wizard stared coldly at the veteran who became more and more excited the more he spoke, and his expression became much more indifferent:

"Very well, then let's do it according to military regulations. ”

There was an uproar!

Not only the veteran, but even the people behind him and Brandon stared at this "outspoken" guy in disbelief.

Only the little wizard and Isaac remained unfazed.

"But......" The indifferent Loren took two steps until he and the veteran were face to face, staring at each other's increasingly divergent pupils:

"I ask for a different approach!"
