Chapter 66: The So-Called Truth
"Morton, are you still alive?" Old Barnes greeted him without hesitation, with a look of surprise, "Great!"
This scene made Roy slightly stunned.
He didn't know Watts, and he didn't know Barnes & Noble Sr. He was wondering before, and when everyone was cheering, the three of them had a gloomy face.
And at this moment, when they saw Morton come out, they were even more overjoyed.
"Your Highness, are they?" Roy turned to look at Adolf as he walked beside him.
"The one with the white wig, named Watts. Marquis of Mont Caron. Donald's right-hand man is the most insidious. The last time Muni City happened, he was behind the scenes. Adolf said, looking at old Barnes, "This guy is the father of little Barnes, the Marquis of Barnes. ”
With that, Adolphus introduces Roy to Stevenson. Roy, though, just listened, all focused on Watts and Barnes Sr.
It turned out to be them!
Roy thought coldly. Naturally, he remembered the dark executioners in the abyss.
Originally, he still wanted to find these two people when he had time, but now...... Roy rolled his eyes, and he had already conveyed a message to Banksal.
Under the gaze of countless complicated eyes, Barnes Sr. met Morton.
"How's it going, are you alright?" said Barnes & Noble with a concerned expression.
Morton's gaze glanced at Roy without a trace, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to Old Barneau: "Marquis of Barnes, why are you here? ”
"It's okay, it's okay," Barno said with relief, "I've been waiting just now, but none of you Thunderstorm Mercenaries have come out. On the contrary, ......" He glanced at Roy with a resentful expression, and whispered behind the scenes of the same hatred, "What happened?"
Morton gritted his teeth, his eyes grim: "It's hard to say." ”
At this time, Watts and Stevenson also walked over. The two exchanged glances with Barnes & Noble Sr. Watts asked, "Mr. Morton, what is going on inside the abyss?" We need your confirmation. After all, what we've heard before is a one-sided statement from some people, and it's not necessarily true. ”
"Yes," Stevenson said, "I heard that a mere rookie mercenary actually defeated a twelfth-level demon for some reason, and forced it to order the withdrawal of its troops. How is this possible? I'm sure it's a big lie. We need someone to step up. Tell the truth. ”
"Yes," Barnes Sr. Barnes said through gritted teeth, "as long as you explain everything, we will definitely protect you and get justice for you and the Thunderstorm Mercenaries." ”
These words were tempting, and even had a hint of persecution. It almost taught Morton what to say, and it immediately caused an uproar.
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and angrily scolded the three of them for being shameless. Obviously. They wanted to make a fuss about Leo in order to question the irrationality of the battle. to shake the foundation of the victory and glory of the people. If you can successfully splash dirty water on Leo, then a victory is not a victory.
It is even quite possible that everything today will be slandered by them as a conspiracy of the devil.
Then, in such a situation, there is a reasonable explanation for what they did. Moreover. When the time comes, Leo will be speechless, and Adolf will naturally be anxious, and if his name is not right, how can he pursue them?
After all, this kind of thing can be big or small. The power is so great that people lose their future and even lose their heads. Can be small. It can be invisible.
And everyone is almost certain that Morton will say something.
Sure enough, I saw Morton's cold gaze, sweeping over the faces of the angry surviving mercenaries, and finally falling on Roy's body.
"He did get that twelfth-level demon to order the withdrawal of the army. Morton's words stunned everyone, but before everyone came to their senses, they heard him continue, "However, it was not because he defeated the demon, but because he signed a contract with the demon in order to survive!"
With a bang, the crowd exploded.
The surviving mercenaries, Adolf and the others certainly shouted at Morton, but some of them showed a hint of suspicion in their eyes when they looked at Roy.
You must know what a terrifying existence a twelfth-level demon is. Even among these Sacred Domain powerhouses present, not everyone had the strength to compete with them, let alone such a young mercenary.
When they heard that Leo had defeated the demon, forced it to give in, and ordered the withdrawal of the army, everyone was somewhat confused and curious in their excitement. Everyone wanted to know how he did it. After he lured the demon away, where did he go and what happened.
In fact, now that I think about it, all of this is just the kid's own account, and there are no witnesses or witnesses. Even the more than 400 surviving mercenaries are all conclusive because of their gratitude and trust in him.
From the analysis of common sense, many people who do not know Roy believe that the possibility of signing a contract with the demon is far greater than the possibility of him defeating the demon.
For a while, everyone's eyes were focused on Roy's face.
The Watts trio were particularly excited.
They didn't expect Morton to be so witty and quick-witted, and almost said what they wanted to say in their hearts word for word, without any changes.
It's just seamless.
And this kind of coincidence makes them even feel that this is not their own lure, but the truth of the facts.
Although the reputation of the Thunderstorm Mercenaries and Morton is really not very good, what does it matter? The worst result is just a rip-off. People who stand on different sides will always choose what they want to hear.
The most important thing is to get it spoken.
On the other side, Eretia, Adolf and the others all lifted their hearts and sweated for Roy.
They didn't expect that Morton would come out alive, let alone that he would so simply and decisively accuse Roy of such a crime. Naturally, they believe in Roy, but they also know that some things can be solved without justification.
In their eyes, everyone was surprised to find that the expression on Roy's face was very calm.
With a hint of a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, Roy whispered: "Mr. Abraham, Your Highness Adolf, no matter what happens for a while, you must not interfere. ”
Under the surprised gazes of Abraham and Adolf and the others, he walked towards Morton and the others, and said as he went: "You said that I made a contract with the devil, what is the evidence?"
"Evidence?" Morton said coldly, "This is what I saw with my own eyes!"
Roy laughed: "So, it's your side of the story, and you can't show evidence?"
"So," Watts said with a smirk, "you said you didn't make a contract with the demon, what proof do you have......?" WeChat public number ctao0202...... (To be continued.) )
