1133 Alone
What happened now - this is not only a question of concern for Mengzhu, who is thousands of miles away, but also the players who have heard of it and are on their way to the Imperial Capital Redkar are also very interested in this issue, and even do not hesitate to mobilize their forces to start looking for every clue that has been drawn out of the miracle that happened last night. The historian named House Poole and the Pamuel family, who claimed to be innocent of the incident, were then quickly brought to the table by a group of others, along with every detail of the events they had experienced last night, and their insistence that the incident had nothing to do with them was finally thrown aside by the player and the nobles of the other empires.
Of course, the tone and attitude of the two parties seem to be very different.
"Ladies and gentlemen, have the recent events of Redkar been foreshadowed by prophecy?"
"Well...... We don't know what these portend, but we just faithfully record these rumors that once circulated in the imperial capital......"
"What does this have to do with the fact that you guys were caught last night? Have you already been coveted by those lawless people? ”
"This, this, this...... We don't know why we were arrested, and if it weren't for that kind person, we wouldn't know what happened to us now......
"Field! Did you hire someone to do it? ”
"How, how is that possible? We have no grievances with the Poole family in the past, so why bother with them? ”
"And what do you say about last night's attack? You're one of those who tried to rebel and assassinate the emperor, aren't you? ”
"Wronged, wronged! We just wanted to take someone to get revenge on the Anfleet family last night, and we didn't expect such a coincidence - ah no, I mean ......"
A succession of inquiries continued to appear around the residences of the two families over time, and intensified as the sun rose on February 29, 796 in the free world, and the crowd of denunciators surrounding the Chancellor of the Exchequer even showed some signs of rioting, and the idea of using the beating of the water dogs to force out some useful information was also hastily stopped by the soldiers of the Empire - despite the storms and waves that had been experienced, However, the remaining guards of the imperial capital still uphold their duties of guarding and maintaining order within the city, and some of the soldiers who had already experienced last night's battle also maintained the same ordinary emotions as before with a high degree of self-discipline, treating the nobles in the city who had become a mess with equal eyes.
In their eyes, these imperial nobles who were invincible in the past have become a group of hot pot ants at this time.
"How so? How could Prime Minister Caldera do such an unwise act? At least...... At least they should talk to us a little bit, right? ”
"The Date family is also one of the main messengers? Has Tririck already ignored his son's life or death? No, that's not right...... Could it be that everything Vravos did was true? Was that a rehearsal of last night's event? ”
"If you think about it in this way, then everything that happened in the court that day may be a big drama for the emperor to see, no wonder the prime minister was so silent when Vlavos was tried at that time, and the old guy Ida didn't even come forward......"
"Quick! Take back the men we sent to House Antell! Now that they've got their feet in there, we can't have anything to do with them anymore! ”
"The crime of killing the Emperor of the Frey Empire is not something that ordinary imperial nobles can afford."
Sighing and putting away the parchment scroll in his hand, Tristan Romlia was heard in the hall of the Law Department in the central area of the imperial capital, and at this time, sitting on the sofa opposite the new prosecutor of the empire were only the two players he had just brought back from the soldiers: "After this incident, there must be a large number of imperial nobles who will fall." ”
"It seems that this time it is really a big deal." Holding back his tired exclamation, Gedmayne, who rubbed his chin, replied in a low voice: "I thought that this time they were still making a small fuss about the previous incident, but in the end, they actually stabbed such a big thing......"
"That's good! At least it's better than we came back from the dead! Asahi Dongsheng let out a burst of relieved laughter: "As for whether they are willing to give us this pot to strike iron again, I myself have no opinion, anyway, since I entered this game, I have been walking on the road of carrying the pot......"
"Just because you walk doesn't mean you have to accept it, at least not this time." Interrupting the other party's deliberately prolonged tone, Gedmayne let go of the hand that had been rubbing his chin: "Even if we really become the wanted criminals for the assassination of the emperor, it will take a lot of time and energy to escape from the territory of the empire. ”
"Is it really good to discuss these things in front of our prosecutors?"
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Tristan, who was sitting across the table, pouted and replied, "I hope you don't always think about doing these extralegal things, but try to solve these troubles within the law." ”
"Within the law? No, no, no, it's not in line with the aesthetics of our adventurers. Asahi Dongsheng laughed and waved his hand: "And we have already caused you a lot of trouble, it is not good to continue to add to it." ”
"Even the worst adventurer will abide by the most basic morality." Gedmayne, who was on the side, then crossed his hands and shook his head: "Being able to get us back in that situation has already put you under a lot of pressure, right?" We can't bother you any longer. ”
"It's not that I'm afraid of these troubles, and I don't have any deep feelings for the future of the empire."
With the same grin on his face, Tristan said calmly to the two players: "If it weren't for self-preservation, I wouldn't have been a minor official of the Ministry of Law according to the arrangements of those Great Princes, and the reason why I chose to save you two is purely for some of my selfish motives." ”
"After all, I've never seen the faces of those imperial nobles, and I've never been on their side easily because of the bounty of their charity." Speaking of this, he leaned a little closer in the direction where the two players were, and the smile on his face also took on a bit of a strange feeling: "Now that they are on the verge of collapse, it's time to show the skills I have reserved for myself." ”
“…… You don't seem to be a good person. Glancing at each other, Asahi Dongsheng replied with a surprised expression: "I thought you were also a flat boat like us, but I didn't expect to turn into a crocodile in the end?" ”
"It's just an instinct left over from the Free City." Tristan waved his hand: "The nobles of the empire are also a group of people who fight for power, but the rivalry between them gives me a little respite. ”
"I forgot who you were from in the Free City." Patting his head, Gedmayne said in a low voice, "Compared to the previous battle between the throne holders, what happened here shouldn't be too much of a storm for you, right?" ”
"I originally came back to my hometown to enjoy a little leisure, and it was not my wish to become like this, but the Anfleet family took care of me a lot before, and this is also to repay their favor." Without showing any smugness, Tristan shook his head slightly: "But this is the case between nobles, once there is a little bit of grudges, the road will start to go more and more deviant...... Shh ”
"Let's get back to business." He waved his hand, as if to drive aside the helplessness that was haunting his head: "It's not something that can be done by talking about this kind of thing alone, and I'm alone at the moment, so I need some ...... Manpower. ”
"Do you need our help?"
Pointing to the tip of his nose, the look of surprise on Asahi Dongsheng's face became more obvious: "Really? The two of us? ”
"I know you're in an awkward position right now, but one more person counts as one after all." Tristan put a sincere smile on his face: "As long as you nod your head, I will solve your problems, and then ...... I will give you tasks that are in line with your identity, and give you appropriate rewards and rewards. ”
"This is different from the long-term benefits offered by the Adventurers' Guild." He pointed to the faces of the two adventurers: "Now that President Amman is suffering from the same crisis, this job can be said to be a thousand times better than that of the Adventurers' Association, if it weren't for the two of you falling in love with me, I wouldn't have made such an invitation to you." ”
“…… This isn't the first time we've been taken care of by you. ”
Glancing at each other, the eyes of the two players with an axe and a shield then inadvertently intertwined: "But for something like this, we can't make decisions easily." ”
"I know, I know, your adventure group called Qingling is nominally the guy who broke off the water in the abyss and is the captain, isn't it?"
Blinking his eyes, Tristan pushed his hands, "I don't think he'll turn down our offer, but I'll give you some time to think about it." ”
"I know what you're trying to imply, but we're also the ones who lived and died with that man." Gedmane raised his eyebrows: "Even if we follow 'go it alone', at least with his consent." ”
"It is worthy of a risk-taker who insists on having morality, and even the supreme interests can be thrown aside." The smile in Tristan's eyes grew thicker and thicker: "Three days, I'll give you three days, or ......"
"I'll probably leave the task of scouting that wandering mage to someone else."
Following his gaze, the eyes of the two men then fell on a corner of the door of this room, and one of the two black-clad guards in charge of guarding the place then nodded silently, and then turned and walked out the door. The endgame after the change of the empire also appeared under the light of the clear sky with the departure of this person, and the figure that blended into the street and then did not look much different from the people of the imperial capital who were running back and forth, and a group of black-clothed people in similar clothes gathered near a tavern in the north of the imperial capital also had their own actions with the arrival of a certain news: "Are you sure?" ”
"It's confirmed, it should be that person."
"If there is no need for an investigation, then why ......"
"Maybe it's just a test."
In the darkness of the alley, two or three men in black then left their own movements, accompanied by a low voice from someone else: "After all, the current situation is different, if you do it properly-"
"The time we've been waiting for for a long time may have come."
On the other side of the street, a perennial stall owner nodded silently, and some time later, near the ruins of the Golden Tavern, a worker who was cleaning the ground put down the broom in his hand and walked aside, and the silent message then accompanied the worker out of the other side of the street and spread to a flower shop on the other street, and finally gradually drove in the direction of the Landnall family as a horse-drawn carriage passed. One of the two coachmen driving the carriage then silently jumped out of the front of the carriage and exchanged a glance with the other butler-looking man who had been waiting there early: "It's okay." ”
"No hurry, the adult is meeting with another guest."
With a somewhat relieved expression on his face, the butler then shook his head again: "Let's wait until this meeting is over." ”
“…… Is it important to meet? ”
"I don't know."
As if unwilling to talk to the coachman too much, the butler turned and walked towards the gate of the Landnall family: "But listen to the little girl's self-introduction......"
"She's not a small one."
As a member of the nobility of the Empire, the Landnar family was also affected by the turmoil of the empire at this time, and the family members and servants of all sizes were also constantly going back and forth inside and outside this gate with the information and orders of the family master one by one, and the scene of the embers of the war left over from the war last night was also mixed from time to time. His face was refurbished with an anxious and calm expression, and the butler, who had managed to blend in with the scene, passed quietly through the center of the busy courtyard, and a small porter, which did not correspond to the gardens of the mansions, appeared at the end of the butler's walking direction, and at the same time gradually reflected in his ears the two conversations in the porter: "I just happened to pass by this place, miss, I am not as noble as you say. ”
"Then you at least know what that incident from last night meant, right? How much do you really know? ”
"I don't know, and I don't know you, Miss Thousand-Fingered Crane, who calls herself the Emissary - are you really a representative of the Mage Council?"
"You must know me!"
The voice with the girl's special emblem suddenly rose a few points.
"We've met a few times in Tania! Mr. Rex! ”8)
