Earl Thompson coughed dryly and gave a look to the startled Joshua. The latter's shoulder shook, and his fat and clumsy carrot-like hand touched the green coral pendant on his chest, and finally stabilized his mind.

"Calm, calm. I have Malik. The magic necklace that Lord Baratheon gave him was not afraid of the damned judgment of the Light. Joshua's ugly, fat cheeks finally stopped trembling. He breathed a long sigh of relief, remembering the days before when he had met Earl Thompson and Malik. The scene of Baratheon's meeting.

It was a cold afternoon with a drizzle of snow, and Joshua. Feder was drinking sullen wine in his manor, where all the mirrors were smashed. Although thanks to the efforts of the priest of the Temple of Dawn and a large amount of gold coins, he was finally not killed by the demonic toxin, but he still had terrible scars on his face.

Joshua was reluctant to go out, to look in the mirror, and not even to see anyone but one of his most trusted concubines. But when he knew that Earl Thompson's carriage had come outside the manor, the fat but unforgiving baron immediately met the other party.

Joshua. Feder wants revenge! Make all the bastards who disfigured themselves pay the price!

Those poisoned demons? They either die in the main material realm or roll back into the abyss. With his ability, it was obviously impossible to hunt down those chaos creatures across the plane. So, Joshua aimed all his hatred at those who abandoned themselves in the Ancient Path.

For this reason, he, who has always regarded wealth as his life, even did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to save other civilians who suffered the same as himself. The baron believed that these civilians would become his most powerful weapon in defeating the enemy.

It was precisely because of this that the Earl of Thompson came to visit. Although in the eyes of most nobles, the lives of commoners were not worth mentioning. But in many cases, they can be used to discredit the enemy. A good tool to question the moral character of the enemy and show his own benevolence.

The nobles of Ferretton, bathed in the glow of the Platinum Dragon, should be benevolent, righteous, and compassionate - at least on the surface. A stray kitten, a bird that has lost its mother, and a group of civilians who have no food or clothing are all excellent tools that embody this noble character.

Jean Joshua. Feder was surprised that it was not only Earl Thompson who came to meet him, but also a middle-aged man who made Count Thompson respectful.

The middle-aged man's name is Malik. Baratheon.

Earl Thompson told Joshua that he was willing to help him in his revenge plan and to help him get justice. Although Joshua knows. The decision to abandon all the poisoned people in the first place is probably not possible with Earl Thompson. But as a marginal figure in the aristocratic circle of the Far Frost Province, it was almost impossible for Joshua to take revenge on all his enemies. So he deceived himself into accepting Earl Thompson's statement: every qiē is Gordon. Freeman's fault, we should unite. Let the sinners receive the punishment they deserve.

In addition to promising revenge, the big man from the Baratheon family also said. After the deed is done. Joshua was able to receive a handsome reward - land, gold, treasures. Moreover, House Baratheon will also provide protection for House Feder.

Tempted by profit, Joshua agreed to the request of the uncomfortable middle-aged man who exuded a cold aura - he knew that if he refused, he would turn into a cold corpse on a cold winter night. You'll never be able to enjoy veal stewed in the kitchen.

However, despite the tyranny of the Baratheons, they coerced and lured Joshua to act as a mad dog for him and Earl Thompson. But the family is really strong.

That mysterious Malik. Baratheon, who gave him a magic necklace that was said to be able to resist the efficacy of the Light's ruling. As a typical Ferreton country aristocrat, Joshua knew nothing about magic, except that the new green coral pendant was different.

Now, Joshua, who had no bottom in his heart, stood under the eyes of the platinum dragon and prayed for a smooth passage as Earl Thompson had said.

Prince Satyas asked, "In the name of Bahamut!" Joshua. Baron Feder, please answer truthfully, in the Ancient Path, the decision of the Autumn Hunting Team to leave all the poisoned was Gordon. The responsibility of Baron Freeman. What you said at the conference today is all true, isn't it? ”

"Yes, Your Royal Highness. Everything I say is the truth. Ms. Bishop and others exonerate Gordon only because they are all in the same boat! They think that it is more difficult and more scheming to punish a group of nobles than to punish a single nobleman! That's why we came together to protect Gordon. But I believe that Anduin royalty and the platinum dragon will do me justice! ”

Joshua was right.

This is probably the highest level of lying. Before you deceive others, you deceive yourself.

The white gold light that shone from the dome of the hall was still warm and soft. Joshua's fat body, which was still a little stiff, suddenly relaxed. The worry of the goofs was completely gone, and if it weren't for the public eye, he would have immediately burst out laughing.

The Baratheon family is really powerful! The necklace that Master Malik gave me was able to resist the Light's ruling. Oh my God, if this thing is done, I can really rely on the big tree of the Grand Duke of the Treasure Diamond, and in the future, I will no longer have to stay in this cold and desolate north to suffer, but go to the prosperous and warm south to enjoy!

Joshua tried his best to suppress his surging emotions and wait for the final result.

On the throne, not only Prince Satyas, but also the cardinals from the three major temples were also looking at each other at this time.

The results of the Light's ruling show that Joshua is telling the truth. However, the facts he said are completely inconsistent with Ms. Bishop and others, who also tell the truth.

Could it be that someone has used some special means to interfere with the ruling of the Light?

But it's not just the three cardinals, but also the former legendary mage Rob. Antello was present, if someone had used spells, sorcery, magic items, etc., to interfere with the ruling of the Light, why didn't they show up?

Prince Satyas and the three cardinals looked at the Lord of Wands—a true master of magic, after all.

But Rob. Antello only frowned slightly and shook his head, indicating that he did not show any abnormalities. The mage's instincts kept his eyes focused on Joshua's green jade pendant. But even with his strength, there was nothing wrong with it for a while.

In the end, His Royal Highness could only rule that Joshua's statement was true, and the Holy Light ruled through Guò.

The fat man, who had an ugly scar on his face, walked down with the posture of a victor. Then, the Earl of Thompson, who was far calmer than Joshua, also followed the ruling of the Holy Light.

Now it's troublesome.

Both sides have their own opinions, and they are both "truths" that have been certified by the Holy Light.

A certain 10,000-year-old elementary school detective once said that there is only one truth. But in this situation, even the Holy Light Ruling can't find out the truth, so it's a bit of trouble.

It is rare to hold a meeting of nobles once a year. And in the assembly of nobles, it is rare to encounter such a situation that even the Holy Light ruling cannot solve. Whether someone has taken some means to deceive the entire magic circle; Or is it that the person who gave the testimony himself was kept in the dark, disturbed by some magic, changed his memory, and could not say words that did not correspond to the facts without knowing it...... If you want to find out, it will take a lot of time.

And the assembly of nobles cannot be held indefinitely.

The aristocracy had many privileges, but it also had many obligations. One of them is the duty to defend the land. It's winter, and the tundra orcs are ready to move. So many nobles left their respective fiefdoms and came to Bishui City, it was okay for a short time, but if it dragged on for too long, it would be difficult to ensure that there would be no problems.

The nightmare of the last orc invasion still lingers in the memories of many nobles. If this kind of thing happens again, it's Rob. Grand Duke Antelo, unable to bear the consequences.

The prince and the three cardinals deliberated solemnly, and finally made a decision: to vote to decide whether Baron Gordon Freeman was responsible for the death and injury of hundreds of poisoned people.

"Bahamut is on top! The three cardinals and I made this decision because of Joshua. The accusations made by Baron Feder against Baron Freeman Gordon are of a special nature. Regardless of whether what Baron Joshua said was false or not, the essence of the incident actually depended on whether everyone in the hall agreed with the decision made by Baron Freeman in the first place. In order to save more lives, should a small number of weak people be abandoned? In doing so, is it against the teachings of the platinum dragon god? I think that voting is the best way to express your wishes. ”

The voting system of the Aristocratic Assembly has nothing to do with the democratic universal suffrage of one person, one vote. This is a title-weighted method of voting. To put it bluntly, the higher the title you have, the more votes you have.

At its core, it's still a game of power.

Earl Thompson smiled smugly: everything is under control.

Drington takes in the girl named Angelie and instills in her the notion that "your parents' deaths are Gordon's fault"; Woo Joshua. Feder, let him be the vanguard in the aristocratic assembly to bite and fight; Using the influence of the Baratheon family, he bribed a large number of minor nobles on the fringes of the power circle and let them stir up a stir at the conference......

The layout of Yiqiē is to bring this accusation to the current situation.

The Earl's slightly aged body straightened, and he smiled and looked around at the nobles who were seated in their seats. He silently calculated how many nobles were diehards of his own line; How many nobles have temporarily joined their camp because of coercion and temptation; How many nobles are standing in Rob. enemies on Antelo's side; And how many neutral nobles will support themselves in the vote because of the previous momentum......

In the end, Earl Thompson came to a very happy conclusion: his side had the advantage in the number of votes. Freeman, big trouble. (To be continued......)
