Chapter 117: Saving the Guard Tom 2
"Come to me, my friend, Zorro!" King Krosso Asclepios stood up from his seat, opened his hands to William, and said enthusiastically.
The corners of William's mouth suddenly opened, and he also opened his arms, and gave King Krosso Asclepios a gentle hug, and then the two parted.
Anyway, it's all acting, who is afraid that whose acting skills are not up to par! William thought so.
The king had his men bring William a chair for him to sit down.
William was not polite, and sat down with a grin.
The graceful queen cast a smile on William.
William smiled and nodded, then looked at Tom below, pretending to be ignorant.
"Your Majesty, I remember him as your bodyguard, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Zorro! Tom was my most trusted squire, but that was only once. King Krosso Asclepios nodded.
"Oh! What's going on? Can you tell me about it? Of course, if you find it inconvenient, I understand. William looked curious.
William was very satisfied with his acting skills and gave himself a score of 69!
70 out of 70!
The remaining point is mainly the first line of heaven to be fought for by 69!
Not counting the ability to know animal language, King Krosso Asclepios can only be said to be an ordinary person, so he can't see William's acting skills, and takes the initiative to explain to William, "He stole the queen's most precious emerald ring." ”
"Your Highness, I don't, I really don't......," Tom said to himself.
King Krosso Asclepios was a little angry and exclaimed, "Shut up! Tom! There's no talk for you here! If you dare to speak without permission, I will have your tongue cut out!" ”
Tom was too scared to speak, and his eyes were red.
William looked at him pitifully and explained for him, "Your Royal Highness, look at Tom's honest appearance, doesn't he look like a person who can steal an emerald ring?" Could it be that someone else framed the poor guard? ”
Seeing William speaking for him, a stranger, Tom immediately cast a grateful glance at William.
William sensed it, and gave Tom a kind look in return.
Tom was so grateful!
King Krosso Asclepios listened to William's words, hesitated for a moment, glanced at his queen, and said, "At that time, only Tom entered and exited the courtyard of the queen's bedchamber. Mr. Zorro, do you think I can not doubt him? I've had Tom's house searched, and I'm sure the answer will come soon! ”
As he spoke, Richard Johnson returned.
His handsome appearance made the eyes of the graceful and luxurious queen shine.
But the king did not find out about this.
He looked at Richard Johnson with a sunny face and asked solemnly, "Richard, did you find the emerald ring at Tom's residence?" ”
Richard Johnson pursed his lips and frowned and shook his head, "Your Royal Highness, I didn't find the emerald ring in Tom's residence, and, according to the investigation, I didn't find that Tom had any dealings with people outside the palace yesterday!" ”
A look of disappointment flashed across King Krosso Asclepios' face.
William didn't care about this, and after hearing the investigation reported by the king's people, he immediately said, "Your Majesty, it seems that your guards are still loyal to you and did not steal the queen's emerald ring!" Perhaps, the queen's emerald ring just accidentally fell somewhere? Maybe ......"
Tom's face lit up with joy and anticipation.
"Perhaps, the emerald ring was really stolen by Tom, but he hid it, somewhere in this palace." King Krosso Asclepios interjected, and instead of looking at Tom, he looked at William, "Mr. Zorro, do you think this is possible?" ”
Tom's mood suddenly fell from heaven to hell, and his face was dejected.
"Your Majesty, you are right, this is only a possibility!" At this time, it is the most stupid thing to do against the king, and it will not benefit him or Tom, so William smiled faintly and nodded.
King Krosel Asclepios glanced at William meaningfully, and suddenly said, "Monsieur Zorro, you are such a clever man! ”
"The smartest man in the whole kingdom is standing in front of me, how can I dare to show my little wisdom and make others laugh at it?" As early as when the queen was there, William had developed the ability to bend and stretch, so William said this without any psychological burden.
William paused, then added, "Of course, I just don't think there is enough evidence to sentence a guard who is extremely loyal to you. It is a great disservice to this poor guard, and to the voice of your people, Your Majesty! ”
King Krosso Asclepios looked at William deeply for a moment, and then laughed inexplicably, "It is said that Mr. Zorro is a chivalrous swordsman!" In the Tatarlia Alliance, it helped a lot of people. I didn't believe it before, but now I see it with my own eyes! ”
King Krosso Asclepios wanted to show his knowledge of William in front of him, but he didn't know that his usual actions were already under William's magic mirror.
William had long known that Krosso Asclepios had sent someone to investigate him, and when he found out about the Lord's Mansion in Phuket City, he showed a shocked expression.
A discerning person can guess that the destruction of the City Lord's Mansion in Phuket City has something to do with William.
Krosso Asclepios did not expect William to be so fierce, and suddenly became worried about the safety of his family.
But it also explains why William suddenly appeared on his land?
It was precisely because William killed the nobles that he couldn't get mixed up in the Tatarian Alliance and ran to his kingdom.
Listening to the animal superintendent's reflections, William was not a murderer.
Coupled with the usual contact, Krosso Asclepios was able to relax slightly, only to strengthen the security situation around him.
But in this way, King Krosso Asclepios was even more eager for William!
Krosso Asclepios still had expectations for William in his heart, and he didn't want to obviously refute William's opinion, so as not to cause William's displeasure!
He thought for a moment before he announced to Tom with a serious face, "Tom, I'll give you one night, tomorrow morning if you can't find the emerald ring and can't tell who the thief is, then I'm sorry, you are the most suspicious thief, and I will execute you!" ”
Tom's face lit up with joy, then worried.
Krosso Asclepios didn't care about this, but said directly, "You have to thank Zorro!" Without him, you wouldn't be able to live in this hall today! ”
Tom immediately asked William to thank him, "Thank you, Lord Zorro!" ”
"You have to thank His Majesty, I'm just saying a few words." William said modestly.
But William could speak in such a tone, but Tom did not dare, and thanked Krosso Asclepios.
Krosso Asclepios said calmly, "It's just one night. Don't thank me, Tom, and I hope to see you in the future! Don't let me down! ”
