146. Before the trial
Brad was now both excited and scared, excited that he was finally about to leave this place that wasn't where he was supposed to be, and afraid of whether he could get out of this hellish place without any problems. Although the trial said that with the help of his own family and Yang Xiang, he may get the votes that were originally negative but changed to support in the votes of some families, but these votes must not be very many, and the pros and cons of it Braid also understands, and the cost must be very large. If it's just the price, no matter how big the price is, Brad can afford it, Brad is afraid that he won't get the due return after paying the price, and the people of the state religion can almost be said to be a hall of words, as long as the judge of the state religion determines that Bred is a sinner, then even if those nobles vote for more votes, it is useless.
"Who will be the person in this trial, I hope it is not from Bishop Ode's faction." Bred could only pray silently, the Inquisition now has three factions, one is the Itinerant led by Bishop Maastley, the other is the Temple Ascetic led by Bishop Ode, and the other is a faction that adheres to absolute neutrality and has no leader. Generally speaking, judgments are made by neutral factions, because they are the only ones who will judge sinners most justly in the name of God the Father.
Compared with Brad's fear, the people of Brad's family are even more anxious, they have heard the news from the main city, the host of this trial is the bishop of the Ode faction, there is no doubt that this news is no worse news for them, the people of the Ode faction are very strict with Brad's treatment of sinners who break the rules, as long as it turns out that there is no overwhelming favorable evidence above, Brad can be said to be in a catastrophe this time.
"Brev, you just have a good rest first, I'll let you know if there's any new development." The white-haired old man sat on the broad chair, flipping through the stacks of thick papers on the table, the news had come down, he felt that it was useless to be in a hurry, their family did not have many children, he only had two sons and three grandchildren.
Bred is the eldest brother of his grandchildren and the only son of his eldest son, Brede's importance is simply in Breve's heart, but now Bred is still in prison and can't be rescued, "It's all the problem of those hostile families, and those relatives have been unaccustomed to us for a long time." β
"Calm down, my son, it's not the last minute, even if they spend so much effort to get the people of the Austian faction to come over, they may not be able to convict Brad. The exact number of demons that Brad destroyed before he was imprisoned has been determined, and according to his military merits, he was already a captain before he was imprisoned, and the captain has certain immunity and the right to deal with it in advance. The old man did not continue, he looked at a document, then only raised his eyelids, and said to Breve, "Go back first, boy, be more energetic on the day of the trial." β
"Yes, father." Brev could only retreat silently, before he could start to take over most of the power of the family, what his father said was an order, and he had to obey, he didn't know if his father really tried his best to save Brad, but Brev could only use his own methods to add some chances of victory to the trial.
This started with an adventurer named 'Yang Xiang', I heard that he was trying to lobby people from other families for Brad's release, this adventurer's approach made him very happy, but his approach was too inefficient, it had been so long before he got the approval of several families, and these families were all famous wall grasses, and Brev couldn't count on these wall grasses to lift any big langs. But the first thing Brev was looking for was the adventurer, and he couldn't do it himself, as his presence would be detrimental to their family's interests. Only on the premise of not damaging too many family interests, the family will try their best to save Brad's life, for the family, any family member is a divider of interests, the task of saving Brad is important, but it is not crucial for them, one less Brad then the weight of the interests they can divide is even greater, which is also a lot of benefits for them.
As for Yang Xiang, Yang Xiang is still brushing the battlefield points in the natural disaster battlefield, and the number of people in the battlefield is already much smaller, because many players find that the points required to exchange battlefield points for the skill column are too high, and they don't need to brush it yet, they simply don't have enough skills to fill the original skill slot.
But Yang Xiang is different, Yang Xiang now has no skill slots at all, and even the black businessman has given Yang Xiang a few good skill books, although Yang Xiang feels that there is no need to replace the current skills after reading a few skill books, but this also begins to give Yang Xiang a wake-up call, he must now brush the battlefield points in case of emergency, in case one day a powerful sword master skill book really comes but he doesn't have a skill slot, it is really a very regrettable thing.
Now the number one on the ranking list of Endo City is the black Kirito, since the last time he won the team championship, the level of the black Kiriti has been overpowering Yang Xiang a little, but Yang Xiang really has no experienced tasks to complete recently, if he wants to surpass the level of the Black Kirilli again, Yang Xiang must wait for some opportunities to come. As for the opportunity, there are always them, Yang Xiang knows almost every hidden task in Endor City, but this does not mean that Yang Xiang has to complete every task, Yang Xiang told these tasks to the appropriate friends, let them complete these tasks, Yang Xiang understands that now is the time when you can't just improve your level of ability, because when one person can't complete it anyway, you have to rely on the ability of your friends.
However, on this day, when Yang Xiang was just about to go out of the city to brush up points on the natural disaster battlefield, an aristocratic NPC found Yang Xiang, this NPC was a middle-aged man, Yang Xiang looked a little familiar, but he couldn't think of who it was for a while.
"I'm Brad's father, Breve." After the aristocratic man was introduced, Yang Xiang suddenly realized, of course his son had to come out and do something as a father, but what was the meaning of this Brev finding Yang Xiang when he was about to be judged, if he really wanted to find him, wouldn't it be better to come over early, "I've heard about what you did for Brad's little guy, I'm grateful, but your efficiency is too low, I hope you can improve your efficiency." Because I can't come forward, I can only find you as my agent, these are the powers I can give you, and if you can get things done, when I become the patriarch, these powers can be increased several times. β
Brev took out a token, and Yang Xiang didn't know what this token did, but Brev said that it represented power, so take it as such. It's just that what does the power of NPCs have to do with him as a player, Yang Xiang doesn't like this set very much, seeing that Yang Xiang is not too tempted by power, Brev can only take out another thing, which is a map, "This is the map about the dwarf forces in our family's possession, which records the location of the dwarven repairer, I know that you have a dwarf puppet and need the dwarven repairer's repair, if you think this price is appropriate, then take it, if you think it is not suitable, you can leave." β
The coordinates of the dwarf repairman, this is indeed what Yang Xiang needs, but it is not urgently needed, the dwarf puppet can still support Yang Xiang's current mining level for a long time, because Yang Xiang does not have much time to practice mining, and only the mining points that he happens to encounter when leveling will be ignored, but well, since they are all sent to the door now, Yang Xiang is embarrassed not to accept it, anyway, Yang Xiang's task is to rescue Brad, which is not a conflict. Yang Xiang agreed and took the map.
"Very well, adventurer, then, it's time for you to start doing this." Brev said a series of things about some families, and then asked Yang Xiang to follow the appetite of these families to talk to them about the price, the price, everything is a price for the nobles, as long as the price Yang Xiang offered is in line with their wishes, then everything is negotiable.
Yang Xiang remembered silently, and then continued to walk towards the natural disaster battlefield, and now he was not in a hurry. Brev also went back after saying this, Brev needed to rest, he had not closed his eyes since the presiding judge was chosen, although he was a martial artist, he was about to lose his support.
And Brev's wife, that is, Brad's mother, fell ill in bed directly after hearing the news, Brev returned to the house, glanced at his sleeping wife, his mind was very restless, he always felt that something was wrong, even if those relatives paid the price to let the judge of the Odd bishop faction be the host, they should not be so desperate, but those relatives seemed to eat Brad, and behaved unexpectedly calmly.
Why, Breve can't get the result for the time being, because he doesn't see what kind of conflict of interest this represents, if it is just a contest between two factions, the cost of spending and acting too calmly make it difficult for Breve to imagine, if the target of the price is him, then this price is very cost-effective, but the target is Bred, this price is very uneconomical.
But here it was, and it was here that Brev couldn't figure out, and his father didn't tell him anything elseβhe knew his father must have understood something, but his father didn't say it.
Brev closed his tired eyes, and prepared himself for the coming judgment
