Chapter 47: The Orb of Oaths
"Didn't you just say that if anyone heard about it, they would ask the mayor to spare Belle's father from punishment?" Cheng Nuo didn't care about the changes in air pressure around him, and reasoned with the facts: "I didn't say that outsiders don't count." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Cheng Nuo's words are actually quite cunning, Gaston said at the time that he was asking the mayor to reduce the punishment, but when he came here, he directly changed it to exempt.
Gaston is stagnant... Sure enough, he didn't remember what he had said before. Of course, he said that he actually had a complete grasp of this, who would have thought that Cheng Nuo would pop up.
The onlookers exchanged their heads.
"You don't count if you can't speak, do you?" Cheng Nuo looked at Gaston.
Belle looked at Cheng Nuo and then at Gaston, a little hope flashing in her eyes.
The onlookers all looked at Gaston.
Gaston looked at the mayor, both of them looking a little constipated.
"No," cried Belle's father, "Gaston didn't say that he wanted to exempt me, but to reduce my punishment. β
β¦ Anyway, I didn't start the vulnerability scanner, how could there be an option like a pig teammate?
"I have never deceived anyone in my life," said Belle's father, "and it is the same." β
β¦ Okay, you're amazing.
Gaston's face melted like snow. When they looked at the mayor again, the expressions of the two became as cheerful as flowers.
"That's right, I remember, that's what I said," Gaston glanced at Cheng Nuo, Belle, and Belle's father, pausing for a moment, then turning to Mayor Mare, "Lord Mare, please be sure to reduce Movis's punishment for my sake." β
Gaston emphasized the word light.
The mayor nodded understandingly: "Okay, Gaston, for your sake, I can dispense with one whip from Movis and change it to four, how about it?" β
Gaston made a very formal salute: "Thank you, Mayor." β
Belle's face turned pale.
Belle's father was a little trembling, and even with his words: "Belle, I can resist five whips, and even less whips is no problem." β
β¦ I knew this was the case, what did I do with that mouth just now?
In fact, Cheng Nuo does have praise and admiration for Belle's father, not everyone can do this, and it can also be seen from here that Belle's slightly stubborn character is inherited.
Gaston snorted lightly and squinted at Belle: "Belle, don't blame me for not giving you a chance, what I said just now is still valid, but as long as the whip goes off, even if you beg me again, I won't care." β
Belle's figure swayed slightly, and Cheng Nuo reached out to support her.
"Hey, dirty guy from out of town, let you go!" Gaston yelled, "Or I'll interrupt you." β
"Execution!" There was another order from the mayor of the town.
β¦ What good has Gaston given you, and you are so cooperative with him?
Belle was just about to speak, but Cheng Nuo raised his hand again and shouted, "Wait a little longer." β
"What else do you have to say?" The mayor's face sank.
"Okay, I'll tell you the truth," Cheng Nuo's eyes swept around again, and finally completely died of the heart of waiting for the protagonist to come out to save the scene, and looked at the mayor: "Is there any way to avoid the rest of Belle's father's whipping?" β¦ In addition to agreeing to marry this villain who took advantage of the danger. β
Gaston's face was completely black.
The townsfolk gathered around suddenly made an uproar.
It's one thing for Gaston to do it, it's another thing to have it made public. Of course, Gaston knew that what he was doing was not authentic, which is why he only dared to whisper to Belle.
Cheng Nuo's words are equivalent to smashing Gaston's abacus, and now even if Belle agrees, Gaston doesn't dare to agree again, otherwise no matter how you explain it, it will be equivalent to sitting on the matter.
At the same time, by the way, Belle is liberated from the dilemma, uh, it can't be said to be liberated, which is equivalent to forcing Belle to go all the way to the dark, because even if Belle agrees, Belle's father can't agree. Not to mention his love for Belle, it is impossible for an ordinary father to agree to such a thing in public.
β¦ In terms of coercion, Cheng Nuo is now an expert. Belle's dilemma, Cheng Nuo really can't stand it. This can be regarded as a settlement of Gaston's entanglement with Belle once and for all.
"Outlander, what are you talking nonsense?" Gaston yelled.
"Dare to do it, do you dare to admit it?" Cheng Nuo has a good time.
"Bastard! I'll kill you! Gaston said and was about to rush up.
Mayor Mare's cough heavily, and several of Gaston's henchmen hurriedly hugged him.
Cheng Nuo didn't move, and Belle stood beside Cheng Nuo with two points of nervousness.
β¦ Just rush this move, and it's right to defend this girl.
The mayor looked at Cheng Nuo coldly: "Stranger, do you know what you're talking about?" Gaston is the best hunter in our town..."
"Just because Gaston is a good hunter doesn't mean he's a good character," Cheng Nuo said, "and I don't care if he's a good hunter or not, I just want to know if there's a way to exempt Belle's father from punishment." β
The mayor looked at Cheng Nuo and Belle with a bit of deep meaning in his eyes.
"I see," Gaston shouted from the side, "Belle, this must be the helper you got out there, ha, I'm afraid it's not just a helper... There must be some ulterior relationship between the two of you... Ah, I remember, the two of you were together early this morning,... Could it be that you guys were last night..."
"You talk nonsense!" Belle's face turned red, ashamed and angry.
The faces of the onlookers immediately changed.
"Am I talking nonsense?" Gaston exclaimed, "So tell everyone how you met?" Why are we together early in the morning? β
"Don't think about others with your dirty mind," Cheng Nuo said: "I can swear to God, I am innocent with Belle, and I don't have any covetousness for Belle, I'm just fighting against me." β
As soon as Cheng Nuo's words fell, a white bubble rose from his eyes, burst, and then he felt a breath sink into his head... What's that?
"Orb of Oath?" One of the townspeople called out.
There was a lot of talk around immediately. Cheng Nuo grabbed a few words and immediately understood.
This time and space with a magical background is really bound by oaths, and it is very simple to judge whether a person is lying or not, just swear to God, white is true, black is false.
But not every vow made will have such a response, and it would be nice to have one out of 100,000 vows on average. A large number of oaths were issued, and there were no white balls and no black balls.
β¦ God is not so empty. Besides, God has been judged, so what do you need secular power for?
However, it is precisely for this reason that everyone rarely swears, and everyone is afraid of what if. It is very rare to make an oath as casually as Cheng Nuo. And even less often there is a response.
