Volume 11 The Underworld! Chapter VII: Witnesses
Hundreds of corpses fell on the road in front of the building, and for the whole night, the attacking side was burning with fire, crashing with crashes, and the two warlocks even came up with the idea of ramming with a rolling stone attached to the fire elemental, but the dark and heavy gate was so strong that it showed no sign of loosening anyway, and the white belly was already showing on the horizon, and only the light smoke was curling and rising from the torches in the hands of the attendants, and moaning and wailing in pain were the only sounds of the morning. [Full text reading.]
Baron Gabery's eyes were sunken, his hair was a little messy, and he looked haggard, and within five hourglasses he had made all the efforts he could, but the end result was still failure, and if he had a choice, he would rather settle the matter himself, for the terms he had signed stated that the agreement would be null and void if there was no need for the intervention of the other party.
If it weren't for this, he would definitely not have decided so easily, but now it seems that the person standing behind the scenes actually calculated that he couldn't open the door, so he used the luck in his heart to let himself fall into the trap.
Now, he could only pin all his hopes on the person he had never met, and the feeling that his life and death were completely in the hands of others made his heart feel like it was being clenched by a fist, and he was depressed.
At this time, on the stone road leading from the city of Kilos to the city-state, a red carriage was hurrying forward, and on the driver stood an old man with glasses, he had short brown hair, a thick beard on his lips, and the lines of his face were as if they had been chiseled by an axe, rigid and serious, and every button on the crimson cloak was in an orderly manner, and the collar and cuffs did not show a single gap.
The groom driving was actually a burly knight, with beads of sweat on his arms, his bronzed skin was strong and powerful in the sun, he pulled the reins in one hand and waved the whip in the other. The loud thrashing caused vendors and pedestrians on both sides of the road to avoid the road from a long distance.
"Kiros!"
The driving knight shouted, and the horsewhip in his hand "snapped" out a long sound, and the carriage instantly penetrated the city gate, and drove straight to the south of the city along the city avenue at a fast and incoherent speed, rolling up a cloud of smoke and dust, the merchants panicked, but the ground began to shake, and the cavalry of more than 100 people smashed the dust and rushed into the city.
Soon. A domed building appeared before the rider's eyes, and he shouted, "Here we are, sir!" and pulled the reins. The muscles in his arm bulged and he pulled the brakes with the other hand at the same time. The wheels rubbed violently against the ground, the horse let out an unwilling neigh, the front hooves lifted off the ground a few times, and the body was braked hard.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, the old man stepped out of the carriage calmly, and a ray of cold morning light reflected on the lenses of his glasses, while the driver jumped down. Throw the reins to a slave. Only then did everyone see that this person's figure was a head taller than ordinary people.
Baron Gabery, who was standing on the side of the road, saw this man, his face changed, and in his heart he really did not want to see this man, and he walked up uneasily, and he squeezed out a stiff smile and said hello. He bowed and said, "Your Excellency......"
The old man ignored him. His deep and sharp eyes swept around, and then he paid attention to the person in front of him.
Gaberg did not dare to look up. Because the other party's coercive gaze made him almost unable to breathe.
"Baron Gabery. The old man's voice was deep and deep, and although his tone was calm, it contained a momentum of life and death: "Your brother said that you stole the fragment of Morusu and wanted to kill him to destroy the evidence. Without waiting for the other party to argue, he waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "There is no need to argue, I will find out the truth on behalf of the elders of the ruling alliance." At the end, he added, "If you are sure, you can kill me now, I believe that you still have time to escape before the next time the Adjubrator sends someone to come." ”
Beads of sweat on Baron Gabery's forehead continued to seep out, and he hurriedly tried to defend himself, but before the words could be spoken, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and nearly a hundred guards arrived with an astonishing momentum.
The old man said coldly: "Your last chance is lost, so you can only listen to my arrangement for the rest of the future, understand?"
"Yes," I don't know why, standing in front of the old man, Gaberi felt that he had lost the ability to speak, and only replied stiffly.
"Logurom, go and open that door. The old man commanded calmly.
The tall knight standing beside him replied in a low voice, strode forward, and as he passed the others, his muscles full of explosive muscles made people unconsciously retreat to the sides.
He stepped up the steps and stood in front of the sturdy gate which had stood all night, and when everyone thought he would be very violent, he reached out and patted it, and called out politely to the inside, "Open the door." ”
Everyone felt the muscles on their faces twitch and felt that this scene was too ridiculous.
What was even more surprising was that in the back, with the sound of a creaking, the door was slowly pulled upward, and the Knight of Englon, whom Count Gabery wanted to kill the most that night, stood behind the door, and he bent down and said in a humble tone: "Your Excellency Adjudicator Joseia, it is an honor to meet you. ”
"Politeness and deference are of no use to me, young man," said the old man, glaring indifferently at him, "I only recognize the facts. ”
Engron smiled: "I know that every obsessive judge is just and strict, but I am only out of respect for a respected old man. ”
Baron Gaberi's lips moved, he did not have the ability of his own brother to speak, although he did not think that a few words would win the favor of the judge, but if you compare the weight of the two in his heart, he is obviously at a disadvantage.
Should go to hell!
He cursed indignantly, but he didn't know who he was referring to. "Honorable Adjudicator, I would like to ask you to come in, it may be too dangerous outside. Engron glanced at the ugly Gabery, smiled, took a step to the side, and made a false gesture.
The old man did not speak, or even hesitate, and immediately walked inside, and the knights behind him dismounted, and the sound of steel boots marching neatly sounded on the stone steps.
The inner hall of the dome building is tall and wide, with a statue of the god of the sea standing in the center, and below it are several statues of goddesses holding water bottles, clear water springs continue to flow out of it, and then moor into the vast pool below, behind the flowers and vines planted on both sides, there are young nobles who are not panicked, but show a playful expression.
As soon as the old man stepped into the hall, he suddenly stopped, and his cold gaze suddenly swept towards someone standing in the crowd, and said, "Who are you?"
This was the first time he took the initiative to ask, and the coldness of his voice made people shudder.
As he looked over, he found that this was a young man dressed in the costume of the Central Continent, he had a handsome face, and he stood there with a calm expression, but when everyone saw this person for the first time, there was an indescribable sense of fear in their hearts, as if this person was standing on a high place looking up at them.
"Lundy Lantistan, a nobleman from the middle of the continent. The young man said lightly.
"Oh, that's my witness. The knight of Engelon smiled and interjected at the right time. The old man glanced at him coldly and said, "I didn't ask you, I will naturally ask when I need to know." ”
"Yes," Knight Engelon still smiled, but a cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
The tall knight standing next to the old man walked up to Luo Lan, his gaze looked from top to bottom, and said solemnly: "This is Lord Joseya of the city-state ruling alliance, the adjudicator who rules the three cities here, you are just an ordinary nobleman, why don't you salute?" Although the magistrates were elected by the nobles, they held a certain amount of life and death rights in office, and everyone except the high-ranking nobles was required to salute them and show respect to the rulers of the free city-states.
This knight's intention at this moment is probably not so simple, he is testing Luo Lan's identity, because the latter's special and unique temperament makes it impossible to believe that he is just an ordinary nobleman.
Luo Lan smiled slightly and said, "Then I can only apologize, I am not a citizen of the free city-state, and I am not under your control." ”
Baron Gaberi looked at Luo Lan suspiciously, he suddenly thought of a possibility, his originally unsightly face couldn't help but become more ugly, and his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Englon has been watching Gabbery's expression consciously or unconsciously, and when he saw this expression at this moment, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that everything is still in my hands until now. My dear brother, the city will soon have a new flag, and although its owner is still surnamed Gabery, I will assure it will be more brilliant and stronger than it was before, and will not cower from hiding under the wings of the Adjudicators.
The old man's cold gaze swept Luo Lan a few times, and suddenly said, "Take him down!" Climb ^ book ^ net, this chapter is first published by "".
