Chapter 186: The Abandoned Son

Alan was about to use the sound magic to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two sides, when suddenly there was a sound of soft footsteps behind him, and he turned his head to see that the girl named Qin had changed into a plain white robe, shaking her light body and followed. Apparently she didn't take her advice to heart at all.

"Shh

Alan put his index finger to his mouth and gently shushed out, signaling Jean not to make a sound. Seeing this, the girl knew that Alan must have found something, and then leaned in front of the crack in the door to peek out, her body was very close to Alan at this time, and bursts of virgin body fragrance reached Alan's nose, making Alan feel a strange nervousness.

In order to divert his attention, Eren hurriedly released the sound gathering magic, and immediately a burst of sound came.

"Viscount Ben, introduce yourself. I'm Simmons, the new head of the Guardian Corps of the Lua Church, and I'm here on the orders of Bishop Dennis, and I want to ask you a few questions, and I hope you will cooperate. ”

It was the leader who spoke, and he sat upright on his horse, looking down at Viscount Benn, and his tone was haughty, and he did not take Viscount Benn in his eyes at all.

"Captain, if you have anything to say, just ask. ”

The guards of the church broke in by force, and as soon as they entered, they injured the guards in the house, and although Viscount Benn was angry in his heart, he was still polite on the surface.

"Was Your Excellency in Lua City three days ago?"

"Yes. ”

"Did you go to the square that morning and linger in front of the Statues of the Gods of Light?"

"Yes. ”

"Okay, my questioning is over, the evidence is conclusive! Someone, tie up the suspect Benn and his family, and bring him back to Lua City for interrogation. ”

"What evidence, why are you arresting me?"

Viscount Benn was completely stunned when he heard this, he did not understand at all what he had done wrong to offend the church, and he was to be arrested and interrogated.

"Why?"

Simmons sneered:

"On the orders of Bishop Dennis, the suspect Benn is suspected of colluding with horse bandits, waiting for an opportunity to disrupt the celebration, and destroying the statues of the gods of light in the central square of Lua City, blaspheming the gods, and the whole family is imprisoned pending trial, and all property is confiscated and belongs to the church. ”

Simmons blackened his face and emphasized word by word.

Listening to these unfounded charges, Viscount Benn seemed to have been hit on the top of his head with a heavy hammer, his eyes were dark, his body shook, and he barely fainted there, and his wife behind him hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"I haven't done any of the crimes you mentioned. You are blatantly framing and framing you! What evidence do you have to prove that I have done these things?"

Viscount Benn broke free from his wife, took two steps forward, pointed at Simmons on his horse, and asked indignantly.

"Whether it is a false accusation or a frame-up, you go to Bishop Dennis to explain, and I am only responsible for arresting you back. Come, tie up their whole family for me and bring them back to Lua. ”

Simmons didn't care about the viscount's questioning, and waved the horsewhip in his hand and ordered.

A few guards were ordered, and they were about to step forward and arrest people with ropes.

"Stop! I am the viscount of the Higg Empire, and without the official order of the Higg, what right do your churches have to arrest me?"

Viscount Benn pointed to the approaching guards, his face pale and trembling.

"Since you don't give up, I'll show you the official order from Higg. ”

Simmons sat on horseback and looked down at Viscount Benn from above, his eyes full of mocking smiles, as if he was not a nobleman with status and status, but a prey that had fallen into a trap and was struggling in vain.

"Here is the letter signed by the Lord of Lua for your arrest for deliberately disrupting the intimate relationship between the Holy See and the Higg Empire. Also, this is a letter of approval issued by General Kemp, the defender of Lua City, on the grounds of collusion with horse bandits. I might as well tell you the truth, your actions are extremely evil, not to mention what kind of viscount you are, even if you are a duke, even if Emperor Higg comes forward, he will not be able to protect you, or obediently and I will be tried in Lua City, and atone for your sinful soul and deeds in front of God. ”

After Simmons finished speaking, he took out two parchment rolls from his body, threw them in front of the viscount with a shake of his hand.

"The Church, Lord Lua, and General Camp actually colluded to frame Viscount Benn. ”

Allen, who had been hiding behind the door and eavesdropping, suddenly sneered.

"Frame for what? I don't know what you mean. ”

The girl also saw the whole process, and her slender eyebrows furrowed, and the more they wrinkled, the tighter they were.

"Frame the viscount and destroy the statues of the gods of light. But the one who destroyed the statue of light was not a viscount at all. ”

"How can you be so sure?"

"Because the gods of light are images that I destroyed. ”

"What?"

The girl's eyes widened for a moment.

"Is it necessary for me to lie about this kind of thing?"

"Why are you doing that? ”

"Because I think the statue is too ugly, and it is placed in the center of the square, which affects the beauty of the whole square. ”

Alan said seriously.

"If you're not kidding, you should come forward and admit it. ”

"Even you think I'm joking, will they believe me if I stand up?"

"It's hard to believe. But as you said, there's no need to lie about this kind of thing, unless you're tired of it. ”

"You're wrong, if I don't come forward, the Viscount may be able to defend himself, if I do come forward, then this matter is even more solid, I, the magician who destroyed the statues of the gods of light, happened to appear in the Viscount's house, wouldn't it just prove that we are in the same group. ”

"It's just a coincidence. ”

"Do you think it's just a coincidence that the church would believe this?"

"It is a coincidence that I can testify to you. ”

"Let's not talk about whether the church will believe you, even if I believe you, how can I explain the matter of the horse bandits? It is already very unbelievable that I have to carry the destruction of the god statue alone, if I still have to carry the matter of the horse bandits, do you think anyone will believe it?"

"This..."

The girl was speechless for a while, the horse bandits are a group, and Alan alone really can't carry it, and the Viscount's family is just right. But she still stubbornly said:

"But Viscount Benn can't be a horse bandit. ”

"It doesn't matter if Viscount Benn is a horse bandit or not, what matters is that the church thinks he is a horse bandit, and the congregants also trust the church's judgment. ”

"It's not what you think, the church can't be so despicable to frame a good person, there must be a misunderstanding here, Viscount Benn can explain it clearly. ”

"In this matter, Viscount Benn is only a pawn, and an outcast. Isn't it, let's see. ”

Alan suddenly remembered the theory of Amar's pawn in the underground cave, and now it seems that Viscount Benn is a pawn used by those in power, and this chess piece has been abandoned before it actually enters the chessboard.
