Chapter 86: Reversal (3)

Stealing secrets is indeed a good excuse, and it is difficult to prove one's innocence unless there is substantial evidence for such an illusory thing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

When there is no evidence, whether it is stolen or not is the earl's final say, as long as he says yes, Leon and his party will inevitably be detained and interrogated, and the crime of stealing is not as big as invasion, but it can still make Leon suffer a lot.

"And what does the Earl's definition of classified information look like?" Leon thought for a moment, these fictitious things were too extensive. If you know that there are several gates and a few streets in White Mist City, it can be regarded as stealing secrets, then the whole city is a criminal who steals secrets.

This question also stopped the earl, he thought that when ordinary people encounter such a problem, the first time is to justify, no matter how to justify, in the end it is up to him to have the final say. I didn't expect the prince to be able to find such a reason, how to answer?

"The information that threatens the safety and status of White Mist City is confidential. The Count soon had an answer, but it was a question of how to get to Leon.

If the two sides are already at war, once the person who catches the other side appears on their territory, then they can be arrested on the grounds of stealing secrets. It's just that the relationship between the two sides is not too bad at the moment, and this method seems so practical.

"What is a threat, then?" Leon knew that the Count could not say anything real, so he repeatedly asked him to say something concrete, and the mere verbal framing was not so good for him.

Such a crime can be big or small, the small one is just a little flesh and skin, and it will lead to a war between the two sides, he knows that the prince's current strength does not have the capital to start a war, and he is also worried about the possible consequences of starting a war, there are many people who covet him in White Mist City, as long as he is caught by others, not to mention the position of the earl, it is difficult to save even the lives of his own family.

The Earl wanted to get the vein, but he risked losing his position and the wealth that his family had accumulated over the years to snatch it, which only a fool would do, and now his income was dozens of times more than that of a mine. He just wanted to teach Leon a lesson, he had been in power for so many years, and no one had ever been so faceless.

"Leon, you know, this is White Mist City. All I need is one sentence, and you're going to have to go to jail. The Count did not continue to be led by Leon's question, he stepped forward and whispered in Leon's ear. At this time, strength is the key, even if he puts the prince and them in prison and releases them in a few days, others have nothing to say about it, let alone a handle to arrest.

"In that case, why doesn't the Earl do it yet?" Leon asked rhetorically, tilting his head to look at him.

A triumphant smile appeared on the earl's face, and he said, "The lord of Ravenwood is suspected of stealing the secrets of White Mist City, and now they are all arrested and interrogated. ”

Interrogation is just a reason to arrest people, and whether to interrogate or torture them when they are arrested is a matter for the Count to decide for himself.

Shure, who was kneeling on the ground, heard the news, looked up at Leon with a sneer, and if he didn't do anything, the count avenged himself.

At the same time, another group of people rushed here.

"Lord Earl, Your Royal Highness the Prince, are you all here?" At this time, it was the people of the Holy See who came, and the one who took the lead in front was Priest Arnold. When he saw so many soldiers gathered together, he thought something important had happened, but he didn't expect that it would be two big people gathered in the slums, such a thing is not uncommon, but he has never seen it.

"There is a bit of a misunderstanding between me and the Earl, and Priest Arnold can be a witness. "Before other forces intervene, Leon would have been vetoed by the Count if he wanted to come up with evidence, and now that Priest Arno had arrived just in time, even if he didn't come, Leon would find a way to pull him into the matter.

The power of the Holy See is huge, not only the counts, but even the dukes and even the royal family will refer to some suggestions from the Holy See. Arnold was only a low-ranking priest, but he was still a member of the Holy See, and with him present, Leon's words would make the Count consider the meaning of the Holy See in addition to the Count's own opinion.

"What misunderstanding?" Priest Arnold didn't know anything about the grievances between the two, since the prince offered to make him a witness, he willingly accepted it, after all, figuring out the misunderstanding between the two could once again deepen his relationship with Ravenwood, and there would be a lot less resistance to the establishment of the court in the future, and he believed that the prince would remember what he had helped.

"The Earl misunderstood that our group came to White Mist City to steal secrets, but Priest Arnold can testify that our group is here to participate in the winter festival and went to the divine court to pray, all of which he is responsible for, if worshipping the gods is also considered stealing secrets, then most of the people in White Mist City should be arrested and interrogated, right?" Leon explained slowly, Arno was by his side almost the whole time, and it was best for him to testify.

"Of course the worship is not counted, but where did you go before that? and who can testify?" The Count will not easily give up this opportunity to teach Leon a lesson, and if someone goes to the Divine Court to testify, what about before he goes? The street vendor will not stand up to testify for him, first, he will not dare to oppose the Earl, and second, there are so many people today, who remembers who has passed in front of him.

"Of course, the people of the docks, the Count will not forget such an important point. "There are a large number of ships parked at the docks of White Mist City, these ships are managed by specialized people, when to dock, how long to stop, and when to depart need to be carefully registered, otherwise the ships will dock at the dock at will, and it will not be chaotic.

Leon's boat was also registered according to the regulations, and when they arrived in White Mist City to check it out, they knew when they arrived at the Divine Court, from which it can be inferred that they got off the boat and went directly to the Divine Court, and did not go to other places.

If the Count wants to say that Leon has achieved theft by passing notes or the like, then he will lose face in front of everyone, and if he has a note, he still needs someone to go to White Mist City to pick it up?

"Well, even if you're right. Then what are you doing in this slum? Take the people of the town to choose a place like this to open their eyes?" the Count was forced to blush a little, and went out of the court to see what other reason you had.

"Earl, you still don't know about the theft of the Divine Court, as a lord, you are a bit derelict in your duty. Leon shook his head, this matter has exploded in White Mist City, hasn't the Earl heard about it.

"Then you're here to look for lost property?" Of course the Count heard about it, but compared to Leon, what does it matter if he dropped a sacrifice, and he didn't steal it himself anyway.

"You're finally right about one thing. The Count finally said something that Leon agreed.

When Priest Arno heard this conversation, he felt a warm feeling in his heart, although the prince did not accept the construction of the divine court, the prince's heart still respected the gods.

The Count was speechless when he heard this.

"No, he's here to kill me, not just me, he's going to kill more than twenty of our people in White Mist City. Shure, who was silent on the sidelines, saw that things had changed, and quickly shouted out.

"Oh, and that like this?" the Count glanced at Shure, then back at Leon, now that there were so many witnesses, it would be up to you to explain anything.
