The two young men from the Blue House woke up.

First of all, the one on the left. It was the one who was supposed to be beheaded. Mo Shi knew his name, his surname was "Yawi", and the young man to his right was surnamed "Kata Min", but at this time, given that they were not yet fully conscious, Mo Shi preferred to call them "Sixth Man" and "Seventh Man".

The young man on the left moved, hissing in discomfort from his chest, coughing, and opening his eyes. For a moment he just sat there waiting for his body to regain control, but when he found himself in his situation—he was tied up, with his back against the wall, sitting on the floor—he quickly looked up for other clues.

Then he saw a chair, leather boots, robes, and a staff.

He followed the objects and looked upwards, meeting a pair of black eyes.

Of course, he recognized the person sitting in that chair, who was a student of the White Academy, who often attended classes in the herbalist of the Blue Academy, but now his status had changed, and he had become the lead prosecutor of the investigation team of the Fair Trial Court of the Spinel Academy, called Moshi Toyosui.

His brain quickly associates the person in front of him with authority and protection.

Then he shouted loudly, his voice hoarse: "Did Opal Zirconium tie me up here? Yes, it must be him!"

Moshi Toyosui looked down at him in an indifferent manner.

So he swallowed, relieving the discomfort in his throat, racking his brain to remember what had happened before he fainted. At this time, he noticed that there was a person sitting not far from him. And then he finally had an eyebrow.

"This morning!" he said, "he came to us before the herb class this morning, and said, that the black-clad priest was going to talk to us, and that he would take us there—and he took out a clay pot and said that it was the holy water that everyone needed to drink to 'cleanse themselves' before meeting the priest, you know, it was a common ritual, and of course we thought the ones in the clay pots were no different from any other holy water, so we all drank it......"

He saw Mo Shi's eyebrows furrow slightly.

So he hurriedly explained: "We all know that Opal Zirconia has a good relationship with you, and we thought he was doing something for you? Isn't it, isn't that? Why on earth did he use a potion to make us faint and tie us up here? Opal, where is the other person now?"

Mo Shi was silent.

He stared at Mo Shi's face in a panic, expecting more instructions from the other party. He twitched his ears impatiently, not understanding what was happening before him, and he was afraid that what he had said had offended the prosecutor in front of him. He couldn't figure it out......

The young man on the right woke up at this moment.

He, like his companion, took some time to recover, looking up blankly and looking around.

"Mo, Lord Moshi? Lord Opal, he said...... Wait, what's going on?I remember we were following Master Opal, going to see the black-clad priest, how ......" He noticed his situation a little later, and struggled for a moment, but was tightly bound by ropes, his hands were twisted behind his back, and his legs couldn't move.

"Lord Moshi—"

The pitch-black staff struck twice on the ground.

The youth fell silent.

"Listen," said Moshi, "I asked Opal Zirconia to bring you here." Because I have some questions for you, and I want to avoid the others, the Mission, and the Platinum Temple—of course, I'll depend on your answers before I do that. ”

The young men looked at Mo Shi with puzzled eyes.

"Viscount Asa, your father, a retainer of the Marquis of Goldmane. Mo Shi looked at the young man on his left.

"Viscount Katamin, your father, a retainer of the Marquis of Scales. Mo Shi looked at the young man on his right.

"And you two...... I heard that the two of them have a good relationship, and they are both 'people of the hour' in the Qingzhiyuan?" Mo Shi raised his eyebrows, "As far as I know, there are many children in the Qingzhiyuan who are followers of the two. ”

The young man on the left was stunned. He seemed slightly smarter than his companion on the right.

But his answer is not brilliant in this case: "Our father was highly regarded by his master, rich, and ...... There is majesty, so of course we are also welcomed in Seinoin. ”

"The glory of the fathers is not the fault of the children. Mo Shi interrupted him.

"Yes, I think so......"

—and you should not have put your family name to shame. ”

Mo Shi smiled coldly. Such a smile was no different from the terrifying posture of the black-clothed priest during interrogation.

"Unfortunately, as far as I know, there are at least three Beya, accusing you of forcing them to serve in Alfaya in the White House. "When I asked them why they did so, they told me that their fathers were petty retainers, and came from the central and their respective fiefdoms with golden manes or scales—that is, you threatened them that if they would not obey you, they would be expelled from the academy, and that they would not be allowed to continue to serve in their master's castle in the future, and that their fathers might even be implicated." ”

At this point, the young man on the right almost jumped on the spot.

Apparently he had finally figured out his situation.

His hands were tied, so he couldn't use his fingers, but he pointed his chin to the right while his eyes were fixed on Mo Shi: "I made a mistake, my lord! I ask for your forgiveness...... But -- but I didn't start doing it! I just ...... It's just that I don't have an opinion, I will do what he says to do well, and he says there's nothing wrong with doing this......"

"Katanwen, shut up!"

"Lord Moshi, he said it! He said that there were always people who did this before, and now we will do it...... Adults will be happy, and if we please adults, we will be able to become retainers of adults in the future......"

"Don't say that I seem to be forcing you! If it weren't for your own penchant for sneaking out to gamble, would you be short of money?

The two Efaya youths looked at each other and hissed.

Mo Shi stood up and raised his staff.

The long black stick slapped the young man on the right in the side of the face and told him to shut up. Then he paced twice on the ground with the bottom of the staff, pressing it to the chest of the young man on his left, pushing his roar back into his chest.

"Shameless. Mo Shi shouted, "Since you know that you are guilty, but you don't know how to repent, but you pass the buck to each other?"

The young man on the left seemed to feel that he had finally figured out Moshi Toyosui's attitude.

He lowered his ears and sobbed, "Lord Mo Shi, we lied...... We hadn't confessed our sins to the black-clad priests before, but, because of this, I couldn't swallow it these days, and this morning when Mr. Opal came to tell us that the black-clad priests needed to be re-arraigned, I decided that I would be honest about everything! I, my sin, had been committed, indeed, but ......."

The young man on the right also came back to his senses and hurriedly pleaded: "The adults of the White Courtyard have come to us to ask for 'help', you understand, we dare not agree, Lord Mo Shi." We are guilty...... It's sinful, but ...... Ah, I want to see Mistress Scales! Please, I need to see Lord Scales! He'll take me out of here, he'll protect me—"

"He won't. Mo Shi replied coldly, "If he knows about your crime, he will only abandon his relationship with you and abandon you as he did." ”

This sentence made the young man stunned for a moment, and after a while, his body began to tremble.

At the same time, let them calm down slowly.

They no longer blame each other or blindly intercede, they are silent, breathing heavily.

Mo Shi withdrew his staff, took two steps back, and sighed.

"Listen, child," he whispered, "I'm helping you. It would be better for you to have a clearer understanding of who you are. ”

“...... I know, my lord, that we are nothing but ants in your eyes, and that there is nothing we would not want to do for you, and that you may have sympathy with us—"

Mo Shi shook his head.

The youth quickly shut up.

Then, Mo Shi sat back in the chair.

He looked tired and impatient, with a grim aversion to the status quo. But at the same time, he is at stake in their future and even their lives, and he is the only rope in their eyes, even a god who judges and judges sin. If he handed them over to the black-clad priests now, the punishment that awaited them would only be more severe.

"If you speak frankly, I will forgive your sins. Mo Shi said.

"You...... What do you want to know? If we can say anything, we'll answer for sure. ”

"Yes, sir!

Mo Shi frowned, as if disgusted by their noise.

So the youth fell silent again.

"I want to know," Mo Shi began, "why is the relationship between the two so close and friendly?"

In other words—why do the children of the retainers of the golden mane have a good relationship with the children of the retainers of the scales?

It stands to reason that Goldmane and Scales are as powerful as fire and water in the court, and there is no reason why their subordinates are more close.

Mo Shi knew that if he went directly to ask those children of the White Courtyard about the two marquis of Goldmane and Scales, they would definitely not reveal any news.

But this is not the case with the children of Seinoin.

They were almost naturally afraid of the great nobles of the White House, and therefore more afraid of the just court and the church.

Moshi believed that he could get what he wanted—what the king really wanted.
