Chapter 64: Sherlock's Doorway
Number 3: "Condone crime!" You're condoning crime! β
He Xi: "I just want to express my opinion, I voted not guilty, because I think there is still something to continue to discuss in this case, I am not condoning the crime, but I don't want to jump to conclusions until the evidence is completely conclusive and all signs point to the truth." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ infoSherlock may not be a decent gentleman in everyone's mind, and his usual behavior is even contemptible, but if I want to believe that he killed Antonio on Midsummer Eve with his own hands, and the reason is simply for the woman he has a crush on, I'm sorry, I can't do it. β
Number 3: "You... I....I can't wait to kill you, you're such a rat poop, ruined a pot of soup! β
He Xi: "You don't really want to kill me, do you?" β
Number 3: "You... I... Ahh!!h β
System Prompt: Juror 3 is attacking you.
β-50οΌ -66οΌ -59οΌ β
Juror No. 3 hurt a little harder, and He Xi found that he couldn't fight back, so he could only endure silently, and after deducting 250 blood, he poured a bottle of red potion, and was beaten for about ten seconds, and finally several other juror NPCs came over and pulled No. 3. There was a rare silence in the room, and there was no dialog box for He Xi to speak, and He Xi was silent with him.
After a long time, Number 3: "I'm sorry, everyone... I didn't mean it that way... I just..."
No. 5: "No. 1, I want to apply for another vote, is that okay?" β
Number 1: "Oh, of course, I don't think anyone minds." β
System prompt: Do you agree to vote?
Agree!
Number 1: "Remember, no matter what, each of us must agree to determine whether Shylock is guilty or not, and that's the law." Are you all ready? Those who think he is 'guilty' please raise their hands. β
System prompt: Do you agree to raise your hand?
Disagree!
Number 1: "...... Four, five, six. Six people found him guilty. Those who think he is 'innocent', please raise your hand. β
System prompt: Do you agree to raise your hand?
Agree!
Number 1: "...... Four, five, six. Well, six votes guilty, six votes not guilty. β
It's done! He Xi clearly saw that No. 2, No. 5, No. 6, No. 9 and No. 11 all chose to vote not guilty, counting his vote on No. 8, he successfully won 6 votes, which was the same as the guilty verdict!
Number 7: "Hey, what's the point of us fighting like this?" Let's hang the sentence! The show is about to begin! β
Number 3: "... Hang the sentence, you all need to calm down, the devil's voice on the 8th has blinded you, and if you continue to discuss it like this today, you will only let go of a damned person! β
No. 5: "I support the suspension of the verdict and let the court retry it to see if it can find new evidence." β
No. 1: "Since so many people are asking for a suspension, then, do you all agree?" β
System prompt: Do you agree with the suspension?
Agree!
Number 1: "...... X, Eleven, Twelve. Well, it was unanimously approved, and I went to inform the presiding judge that our jury had concluded that the verdict was suspended. β
Presiding Judge (voice-over): The jury was unable to reach a consensus for a long time, and finally chose to suspend the verdict, and this court will restart the trial of the case again in accordance with the normal process. While awaiting trial, defendant Sherlock was allowed to pay an exorbitant deposit to cover his release.
Bite~! System Prompt: You have completed the quest [Twelve Angry Merchants], gain 1000 BASE experience, 800 JOB experience, and Elbeta Reputation +50!
Hanging sentence! He Xi actually didn't expect such a result, but in a literal sense, he could keenly smell that the suspense was an absolutely favorable situation. According to the situation introduced earlier, he was able to receive a task like "Sherlock's Unwillingness" from Sherlock, so if he reasoned backwards, Sherlock would definitely not fall into a mortal situation in this murder. Therefore, even in the task of "Twelve Angry Merchants", although the NPCs are aggressive and have an absolute advantage, He Xi is still stubborn, using logical arguments to find a breakthrough, and in the absence of evidence, starting from the motive of the crime, arousing the resonance of other juror NPCs who are not firm, and winning the support of NPCs.
As far as He Xi is concerned, the suspense is probably the limit of what he can do, because He Xi's character cannot obtain any content directly related to the case after entering the scene, and he only intercepts a small amount of information from the words of other NPCs, which at best can only make He Xi play with language and words, drill logical loopholes, and as NPC No. 3 said, find ways to talk to other NPCs, prompting them to promote new plots and new dialogues. If He Xi wants to try to turn the tide, then he must be able to start from the case itself and refute and overturn the witnesses, exhibits and other substantive evidence one by one, so as to completely change the attitude of the jurors, so that they can fully agree with He Xi's point of view and all of them unanimously vote not guilty.
He Xi told him the news of his success and the detailed strategy to puff, and he was very excited.
"Worthy of a great god! The second swordsman in the national uniform, awesome! β
ββ¦ By the way, don't forget, there may be an NPC attacking you at the end of the quest, which may knock you out close to 300HP, or even more, I don't know too much. β
"Okay, I've specially prepared a yellow potion, no problem!"
"Yellow potion? Merchants can now use yellow potions? Where to buy it? He Xi was surprised.
The Yellow Potion is an advanced version of the Red Potion, which literally restores about 175 HP and benefits VIT and some skill effects. In Twilight Legends, the yellow potion requires players to reach level 30 or above to use it, and the price is also very expensive, up to 2000 Zeny per bottle, which is about 8 times higher than He Xi's impression.
"Haha, the Merchants' Guild benefits, Alberta special, you can use it at level 20, envy?"
"Envy, help me get some."
"No, soul-bound."
ββ¦ All right. β
He Xi was waiting outside the Supreme Court for a puff, and when he had nothing to do, he decided to go to the player gathering area in Albeta. Each of the main cities in Twilight Tales has its own distinct characteristics, and these characteristics also affect the daily activities of players in each main city. For example, when He Xi first came to the player gathering area of Elbeta, he was confused.
"Yi Ai line to form a team to brush wool, there are formal wear stickers to become dense, 3 = 2, open when the people are full, 8 boats have been brushed!"
"High-end maritime players open up the long-term line of Aima, come to a high-selling merchant who will go around the port, and the passionate command will take you to pretend to take you to fly!" "Near the port speed brush team, no nonsense, no teaching, come to be able to rent 29!"
Frankly speaking, He Xi didn't understand a word. I don't feel like I'm playing the same online game as the players here, or even the same type of game. It made He Xi have the illusion that he was seriously studying and preparing for the exam, while the table next door was racking his brains to think about the symbiotic avenue between the universe, the earth and human beings, which was completely different from the same radio frequency.
Team Tips: Puff Puff Completed the quest [Twelve Raging Merchants]!
Team Tip: Puff Puff Completed the quest [Sherlock's Unwillingness]!
Team Tip: Puff Puff accepted the quest [Sherlock's Reward].
"Congratulations, mission done?"
"Haha, yes, the god's strategy is as stable as a dog!"
"So, Sherlock?"
"Let's go to his house."
He Xi followed the puff all the way to the north, and the two came to the northeast corner of Alberta, in front of the sea-view villa on the edge of the cliff, and it can be seen from the architectural style and luxurious decoration that the owner of the mansion is either rich or expensive, and quite tasteless.
"Look, he also erected a gilded sculpture of himself, the thief is stupid!"
"Hmm..."He Xi agreed.
Because of the relevant tasks, He Xi also followed him into the villa, and in the study on the 2nd floor of the villa, He Xi finally met the famous businessman Sherlock who he tried his best to save. Of course, He Xi can only watch, and the conversation must be done by poof.
"Ah, poof, poof, you're here!"
"Yes, Mr. Sherlock."
"Just in time, good fellow, I didn't expect you to get me out of prison, two times! Don't worry, the Semites have debts to pay, I, Sherlock, am not a wolf-hearted dog, say, how much money do you want! β
β100οΌ000οΌ000Zenyγβ
"Damn, what are you doing?" He Xi was so shocked that the sip of coffee he had just drunk squirted out.
"Oh, I'll try, calm down." Puff puff puff but the performance is light and light.
"Oh, my good friend, look at the back of my ears, I can't listen to anything, how much did you just say? 1WZenyοΌ β
β100οΌ000οΌ000Zenyγβ
"The sound of the sea breeze is so loud, isn't it? So it's a certainty, 1WZeny? Hey, I wanted to give you more, but I didn't expect you to be such an upright person, you friend, I'm done! β
"I mean, I don't want money."
"What? No money! Oh my God, Alberta is fortunate to be able to produce a young and promising, warm-hearted, helpful, and unrequited businessman like you! I'm so proud of you! Come, a toast to our friendship! Nothing to say, this wine, I please! β
"......" He Xi is an eye-opener, Sherlock is really not covered, he talks nonsense with his eyes open, pretends to be deaf and dumb, and beats snakes with sticks, no wonder the reputation of NPCs is so bad, and it deserves its name.
"I say I don't want money because the next time the jury votes again, I'll vote 'guilty,' so I don't want your money right now, or I'll be ashamed." Puff puff said, He Xi squeezed his mouth into an O-shape after hearing this.
"What?! Why?! Wait, puff, puff, there's something to say! Haven't we become good friends? β
"Are we good friends?"
"Yes! Be! Be! Yes, of course! β
