In the hunter world, where the Hunters' Guild and the Kingdom each have their own criminal law systems, the original intention of the Listening Council was only to reconcile the contradictions between the two, bridge the differences between the Guild and the royal family, and decide matters that could not be tried separately by the Knights and the Kingdom's penal department. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The Parliament does not have a permanent body, but summons representatives of all parties with the name of a member of parliament on an ad hoc basis when the royal family or the hunters' union call it out. A varying number of seats were set up according to the size of the issue, and the hunters and the royal family were present in a one-to-one outnumber. In order to show fairness, at the same time, there are two percent of the total number of dragon people seats, and most of the speakers are neutral and respected dragon people.

Listening to councils has been a centuries-old tradition in the hunter world, from the Second Man-Dragon War to the present. According to some street rumors, this is a meeting between the Grand Duke of the Kingdom and the high-ranking hunters to divide the spoils. Ordinary union deacons or ministers of the kingdom did not even have the right to participate in it. To be able to get a seat in this kind of parliament is already a sign of success in the eyes of ordinary people.

The hearing of the meeting, which has decided on a date, is never postponed because of any event. Three days may seem like a long time, but the meeting that is so important that it affects the interests of the people's livelihood of the two countries is already very tense for all parties in the game.

Shentu Miaoling wiped the water stains from her hair, spread it behind her body, and let it dry naturally. For most of the month, this was the first time the girl had taken a bath, although the temperature of the water provided by the union was just right, and the soap was also a type that only high-level hunters could enjoy, but after being imprisoned in the Knights' Prison for so long, the faint smell of blood on her body had long been difficult to dissipate. She casually placed the towel on the tub, raised her hand to sniff the crook of her arm, and frowned slightly. The smell that you have become accustomed to will only feel different when you are about to leave.

"Miss Miaoling, is it okay?" A shrill voice came from outside the door of the small room.

"That's it." She put on her clean regular clothes, finally pulled her hair out from the back of her collar, exhaled lightly, and opened the door to the hut, "Becca has been waiting for a long time. ”

"It's okay," said little Eru, looking up, her nose wrinkling imperceptibly as she shook her head away, her sap waving through the crack in the door. In the orc sense of smell, the slight smell of blood was as obvious and pungent as chili pepper or mustard, "Becca is also a girl, and she can't meow too long to freshen up flowers." ”

"It's hard to believe that Instructor Anfei can find you to take over my commission." The huntress wrapped her coat tightly, leaned down, and touched Elu's head, "It's been a hard two days. ”

The listener in front of her was assigned to the girl by the Black Star Twins, and in Xiao Yang's words, it seems that there are people in the entire hunter world who owe the old cat a favor. The detainer defended the prisoner and the complainant, and also reminded them of the taboos they could not say and do at the meeting, and followed the girl like her second tongue at the meeting.

During the two days of getting along, Becca showed all the good qualities of being a listener, from not knowing anything about the outline of the incident, to being able to get a proper and complete coping strategy, and explaining it to the girl in simple terms, little Elu barely closed her eyes for a moment in the past two days. But when the meeting was about to begin, Becca in front of him changed into a set of collared clothes, and his eyebrows and eyes were bright, and he couldn't see a trace of fatigue. Presumably, like the Hunter, the Listener has its own battlefield.

"Your status as both a prisoner and a witness is bound to receive the most attention at the Parliament. Anfei-sama has a special identity and cannot participate in today's meeting, and now you have nothing to rely on, and you have to be extremely careful with every move in the meeting. Not to mention the benefits of the meeting, even if we can maintain the status quo, we have to do our best...... Frankly, this is the toughest commission I've ever had. Becca said solemnly, her ears furrowed, "I'm going to have to work hard to do it." ”

"I hope the methods you've poured in me these days will be of some use." Shentu Miaoling looked relaxed, without the slightest consciousness that she was about to meet the most noble group of people in the entire kingdom.

"Thirty minutes before the start, let's check the main points of the game one last time." The female Ailu straightened the bow on her chest, "Start with the theme of the meeting." ”

Of course, this meeting was not for the stupidity of the girl at the challenge festival, but for the disagreement between the two kingdoms over territory and the rewards of coordinated hunting. Nominally, it was a dispute between the royal families of Scarlet and Ryan Yelu, but since Scarlet has always been the Hunter Guild presiding over the overall situation, and in Ryan Yelu, the status of the royal family is far higher than that of the union, so this is essentially another clash between the Hunters' Union and the royal power.

"There were two points of contention in the meeting, the first was 'whether the theft of the dragon pulp was committed by the forces in Scarlet', and the second was 'what was the purpose of the guy who stole the dragon pulp'" Little Bekala slowly walked out of the end of the corridor with the girl's trouser legs. Along the way, the silver-armored knight raised the spear in his hand, and his gaze behind the helmet stared at the two of them, "In other words, as long as it is proved that the theft of the potion formula is not the fault of Ryan Yelu, they will be able to successfully get back their own territory, and Scarlet will have to bear the corresponding losses on his own, and even give the other party a certain amount of compensation." ”

"I'm going to stand on Ryanyeru's side......"

"You're not going to stand anywhere." Little Ailu interrupted the girl's words and continued her train of thought, "In front of the two kingdoms, you are insignificant at all, and which side you stand on will not affect their decision-making. What can you do only? She slapped Shentu Miaoling's calf.

"Tell the truth," the girl added, "at least...... Part of the truth. ”

He once helped the dealer confirm the location of the challenge festival, and directly guided the airship carrying a large amount of dragon pulp to the sky above the arena. This incident is the most important part of Zhuang Dui's actions, and it is one of the core evidences to implement the guilt of challenging the sacrifice and the theft of the dragon pulp.

"The only thing you need to pay attention to in a country-related event." Becca cocked a palm, "Who is the person who assigned you?" ”

"Twilight," the girl spat out two words, "it's just him." ”

"Very well," said Elu, looking satisfied, "you can't bring down the dealer right now, at least not enough of the evidence in your hand." A mistake may bring a lot of damage to it, but as long as the bones are still there, a little blood can always make up for it. ”

"Zhuang Du is the second son of the head of the Zhuang family, and he is his right-hand man in hunter-related affairs, rather than damaging a large piece of flesh and blood of this family, it is better to simply amputate one of its arms." Xiao Ailu became stern, and even lost the verbal fetish at the end of the sentence, "Now Zhuang Dui is also under the supervision of the Hunter Guild, and the situation is not better than yours." It can be seen that the dealer has already had the intention of abandoning him. But if you try to connect this guy's actions with the dealer, the dealer may try to rescue him at any cost, and even you will suffer with it. ”

"So in listening to the council, no matter what you hear, what you see, or even someone who obviously induces you, don't be fooled, it's Zhuang Dusk who assigns you to do things, only Zhuang Dusk, and nothing else knows, do you understand?"

Looking at Becca, whose face was flushed and chattering endlessly, the girl smiled easily: "I know, I said, it's just a matter of saying two words on stage, and I am vigilant to this extent...... Is it really necessary? ”

"Work ethic." As she spoke, she pulled a bronze plaque from her waist and handed it to the knight in front of her, who glanced at it and finally opened the iron grille door with a "bang".

It was the coldest part of winter, and the biting wind blew through the girl's side, making her scalp tingle, which had not yet dried. Shentu Miaoling stood at the gate and took a deep breath. Yan Feng ran down her throat and into her lungs, but the real and disgusting stinging pain made her open her arms freely.

"The carriage is ahead." It wasn't until the girl had breathed enough of the fresh air outside the prison that Becca whispered, "Hurry up and get in, your body is still very weak, and if you continue like this, you will catch a cold." ”

…………

"That's what I've always stood for...... On the shipwreck at that time, in addition to the Wang Li Hunting Group to which we, the dealer and His Royal Highness belonged, there was also a fourth party! Guo Peng slammed the table in front of him hard, and as his heart became agitated, he coughed violently again.

The five-star hunter's injuries were obviously not healed, and the bandages wrapped around his body still exuded a choking medicinal fragrance. Still, he insisted on showing up in the room, and had been arguing with the lawmakers for more than an hour now.

"Nonsense!" Behind the curtain, the councillor on which side spoke, "There is only one person who can safely take away the treasures of the ruins under the noses of you and Wang Li's hunting group, and set the entire shipwreck on fire by the way?" There was sarcasm in the Councilor's tone, "Even if you want to call yourself a waste, don't take the entire royal hunting group with you!" ”

The meeting was made into a middle-low and high-rise arena, and the people who were interrogated by the entire parliamentary group could only look up at the tall superiors around them. But Guo Peng did not inferiorly because of this, and did not lose any advantage in his momentum: "The glory of the hunter is on top, I fought with that guy once, and I guarantee with my hunter badge that he is very strong, and it is expected that he can escape the hunt of the hunters on the entire challenge sacrifice." ”

"So this is a strategy of the Hunters' Guild?" The councillor who was obviously on the kingdom's side said impatiently, "The meeting has reached an impasse, so you sent someone who doesn't know what to say here to muddy the soup, wanting to rely on the ghost words of a mysterious and powerful person to make us loosen?" ”

"It's none of the union's business, it's my request alone!" Guo Peng patted his chest and said, "What I'm talking about now is a new mysterious force that has never been recorded in the threat of the union and the kingdom - if such a powerful person wants to remain mysterious, he can't rely on his own efforts. Being able to hide a strong man who is more than a five-star hunter may be even more powerful than I described! I just want to remind everyone here that this matter is far more important than the resources of a volcano! ”

"It's just the of a cowardly hunter." At the top of the high platform, a cold voice said faintly, "There is no need for everyone to think about it, what happened at the challenge festival is already very clear, quickly call the last witness, end it early, today's meeting has dragged on for too long." The old man's voice paused, as if he didn't think it was good to say this, "Master Fu Guo go down and rest, Ah Peng's injury is not all healed, and he should be tired after standing for so long." ”

"Speaker!" was exposed in front of everyone about his past, Guo Peng's face was purple, and he let out a breath, and a little gold star flashed in front of him. The two knights raised their arms one to the left and one to the right, dragging Guo Peng, who was unresistant, towards the door.

Outside the small door, which could only allow the interviewee to bow through, Shentu Miaoling and Master Guo passed by.

"A girl?" Seeing Shentu Miaoling sitting safely on the trial seat, the high councilors began to whisper.

"Girl, your name." The Speaker in the dark said coldly.

"Shentu Miaoling, trainee hunter in custody, speaker of the council." The girl stood up, bowed to the top, and sat back in her chair.

"Witness, the hearing council does not care about your mistakes, on the contrary, if your speech is useful to the decision of the hearing, we will reduce your sentence as appropriate." The voice sounded familiar, but it was Chief Deacon Maureen in the corner seat. He coughed lightly and went straight to the point, "Who instructed you to deliver a message to the Blackwater before the challenge began?" ”

Becca in the corner clenched her fists nervously.

"It's the second son of the Zhuang family, Zhuang Duan, and the councilor." The girl replied without humility or arrogance.

Becca sighed softly, and the claws on the fingertips of her flesh slowly retracted.

"When Zhuang Du found me, he was holding the dealer's letter of assignment." Instead of stopping as planned, she turned over and removed Becca from view, "There is no stamp on the letter...... But it's the handwriting of the head of the dealer's house, I can't be mistaken. Because that guy is my stepfather. ”
