Section 56 Three prisoners
Section 56 Three prisoners
"Prisoner Arthur, do you know the two in the hall, are they your accomplices?" The master looked at the prisoner who had just been dragged out and was covered in blood and water, and asked without thinking about it.
"Yes, I'm the murderer, they're my accomplices. Blood-clad Arthur was the same, and he didn't want to answer immediately, but his tone was a bit mechanical.
"No, no, my brother was wronged, and you bent into a trick. Hearing Arthur's answer, the murderer's younger brother, who had been kneeling beside him silently, suddenly jumped up and rushed in the direction of Arthur.
"Bold, I want to destroy the corpse and kill him. The master reacted very quickly, and immediately turned the white into black, and at the same time ordered his subordinates to prepare to kill the murderer's accomplices.
"Slow!" In the face of these officials' strong words, Fez couldn't stand it, and shouted, and an air bomb was instantly swung out.
"Bang!" The polite bomb accurately bombarded the two sides, blasting the two apart in an instant.
Silence, silence, for a moment the hall was silent, and everyone seemed to be able to hear their own heartbeats.
Fez didn't expect these officials to be so bad, nor did he think that his empty bullet was so powerful, in fact, because the local area was already a country within a country due to the long-term management of the nobles, and he didn't care about the laws of the empire at all, and he didn't care about the lives of a few civilians.
"Well, since you don't talk about it, it's my turn. Fez, taking a look at the silent office, turned to look at Arthur, who was lying on the ground.
"Are you Arthur?"
"Yes! They are my accomplices. Arthur replied mechanically.
"Are you a murderer?"
"Yes, they are my accomplices. "Arthur is still the same, without a wave.
After several questions, Fez already basically understood the situation, regardless of whether Arthur was the murderer or not, he must have been tortured to extract a confession, which can be seen from the bloody clothes on the other party's body.
In addition, the other party must have been mentally coerced to confess, and there is a mental problem, so such a question will appear, no matter what question is asked, there is only one answer: yes, they are my accomplices.
Knowing the cause of the problem, then things will be easy to do, and then Fez has already thought of an idea, with the spear of the other, attack the shield of the other.
"My lord, now I have only one question to ask, may I allow me to ask?"
"Yes. Maybe his life was threatened, and the county magistrate didn't think about it.
"Arthur, who are your accomplices, are they?" Fez, pointing his finger at the county magistrate sitting on the stage, asked lightly.
"Yes, he is my accomplice. Arthur didn't raise his head, and he didn't think about answering directly.
Silence, silence, silence, this time everyone could barely hear the heartbeat, they thought it would be good to let Arthur admit it, but they didn't expect that someone would use the same method against themselves, so if they admit that what Arthur said is right, then they are also accomplices, if they don't admit it, then Fez and Arthur's brother will be acquitted.
"Grab it, grab it. He used sorcery to close the door quickly, not to let him escape, and to subdue him immediately. The master next to him roared angrily, since there is no evidence, then don't have evidence, anyway, subdue him, and you will have any evidence in the future.
"Slow! Fez shouted, and at the same time held up the token handed over to him by the princess, that is, the credentials of the princess's minister, which is equivalent to the role of the minister of proximity, but he does not have so much power, he can only investigate the people's feelings, but he still has the right to intervene in cases like this.
"Leave him alone, shoot them. ”
"Who dare!" it seems that the reason with the scoundrel will have no effect, and can only rely on strength, Fez sat on the county magistrate's table, and said with a threat.
"What do you want?" The county elder's fat body began to tremble, and cold sweat flowed from his head, he couldn't imagine that a magician would dare to fight in close combat, and his master and bodyguard Del did not react.
"If you think you're fast enough, try it. Fez didn't look at the county magistrate Master Del, but he knew that the other party's right hand had quietly moved to the hilt of the sword at his waist, and he could attack at any time.
However, Del also hesitated, judging from Fez's movement just now, he floated silently in front of the county magistrate, if Fez didn't react, it was possible to sneak attack, but not now, he was not sure that he would ensure that the county magistrate was safe and sound after killing the murderer, so he could only put down his arms and wait for the consequences.
"Give me three days and I'll find the real murderer. Fez said lightly, three days is nothing to them, but it is already the limit for Fez, now that the token is revealed, then his identity has been exposed, and the imperial capital is about three or four days away from here, so he only has three days at most to deal with this matter, otherwise he will not be able to go.
However, three days is the time for the arrival of the large army, and from this moment on, assassinations and sneak attacks will continue, after all, the high bounty on the black list is not unattended.
"This, this, the order has been issued, and the above will not agree. Del replied for the county magistrate at this time.
"Hehe, I just caught the murderer yesterday, and I asked him today, did you really report it?" Fez seemed to know the inside story, for these "little things", they didn't have to report at all, and they wouldn't report it.
"Okay! I'll give you a chance in three days, and then I won't find the murderer, and you'll be the murderer. Suddenly, a voice came from behind the house.
"Maas, it's really you, when did you come back?" Del immediately exclaimed when he saw that it was his companion Mas, the son of the county magistrate, who appeared behind him.
Mas, the only son of the fat county magistrate, a thousand commanders belonging to the Third Legion of the Empire, powerful, sixth-level knight, this time he came back mainly to capture the magician Fez, and specially recruited two magic teachers from the Imperial Academy of Magic, a sixth-level magic scout, and a seventh-level great magician to be responsible for the battle, but due to the fragile body of the magician, Mas rushed alone to prevent Fez from escaping, and he didn't expect to meet Mas.
But Mas has read Fez's information, especially in terms of combat, so even under close conditions, Mas will not think that he can definitely defeat his opponent, so he can only drag Fez, wait for the two magicians to come over and arrest him, and Fez just gave this condition, why not!
"Don't worry, I never go back on what I said, you can take them both now, we won't stop you. Maas saw that Fez was unmoved and increased his chips again, but Maas's real purpose was to add a burden to Fez, as for whether the murderer was a murderer or not, for Maas, no matter what he, his target was only Fez alone.
"Okay, take the prisoner, and the trial will be held in three days. Although the county magistrate didn't understand why, he could still trust his son.
"Let's go!" Fez, though he didn't understand why, but he would save people first.
After the three of them left the county office, Maas, Del and the county magistrate went into the inner room and waited for Maas's explanation.
"That magician just now is Fez, who made a big fuss about the nobles in the capital of the empire, and now he is wanted by the nobles, as long as he is caught, money and power will immediately roll in. ”
"Then why don't you catch him?" Del wondered, after all, 100,000 gold coins was not a small amount.
"Do you know what's going on in the capital of the Empire?"
"Isn't it just to beat a few nobles?" Del took it for granted, as long as it was not himself, it didn't matter if he humiliated the nobles, he didn't care about his own affairs at all.
"Yes! There's nothing wrong with that person except that he's a little more noble.
The main thing is that among the people who protect them are a seventh-level warrior, ten sixth-level magicians and warriors, under such a lineup, several big nobles are still dead and wounded, do you still think we can catch him?"
"Even if he is so powerful, there can't be anything bright and something dark. Del had been overwhelmed by the high bounty, and his eyes were full of gold coins.
"I advise you not to act rashly. ”
But Maas's counsel not only did not work, but only aroused Del's competitiveness: If you can't do it, does that mean I can't either?
Looking at the back of Del's departure, Maas smiled sinisterly, after all, it was not bad to give Fez a little trouble, and it just so happened that Mas also wanted to know what Fez's strength was, and it was just right for someone to explore the way.
