Chapter 198: Stephen Sand's Love Story
In fact, the whole trial process was quite boring to watch, although the atmosphere was very warm, but after the few scolders led by the law enforcement officers respectfully invited out, everyone saw the situation clearly and began to keep silent.
The atmosphere of the entire auditorium is on the dreary side.
The mages who hoped that the trial would change something seemed to have come to their senses.
Not to mention Xu Nan, who basically already knows the result.
After a pretentious argument by lawyers on both sides, the justices read out the verdicts against the three commercial spies.
The commercial spy caught by Aurora Tree was found to be "not credible" because he did not pass Stephen Sand's professional polygraph test during the interrogation.
Even if he insisted that he was instructed by Paradise Lost, the justices merely thought that he intended to slander, and the bribed jury was surprisingly unanimous.
Eventually, the spy was sentenced to thirty years in prison and served in Well No. 7 - by the way, Stephen Sand's penal code continued the tradition of the Arcane Empire, a group of wicked wizards who loved to turn criminals into animals to serve their sentences.
In descending order, there are donkeys, goats, turtles, frogs, and caterpillars.
Many felons are permanently contaminated into caterpillars by powerful spells, imprisoned in sturdy bottles for others to see.
And the deep well is full of frogs, and this commercial spy is about to start his thirty-year frog career in the No. 7 deep well, which is actually quite cruel when you think about it.
It can be seen that Stephen Sand officials still hate commercial espionage itself very much, and I am afraid that it is only because he has not found a solution that he will temporarily acquiesce to such a large-scale infiltration of Paradise Lost.
The verdicts of the other two spies were more troublesome.
According to the information provided by the law enforcement agencies, they passed the polygraph link, and it stands to reason that their confessions should have some credibility.
In and out of their words, they implied that Paradise Lost had instructed them to act, and that they were willing to cooperate with the inspectors in exchange for a certain reduction in their sentences.
However, thanks to the efforts of many powerful members of the Presbyterian Church, the confessions of the two commercial spies were found to be incomplete and inconsistent, meaning that although they were not lying, they must have hidden something.
In this case, their confessions will inevitably be distorted and therefore cannot be used as evidence.
As for the idea of a part of the public indignantly trying to use this information to initiate a diplomatic tribunal to prosecute Paradise Lost, the justices firmly chose to refuse.
He then euphemistically stated that the matter was no longer within his purview, and that in order to activate the diplomatic tribunal, at least two of the Stephen and Sand triumvirate would need the nod.
Now it's obviously not possible.
Therefore, the two commercial spies were also only sentenced, and to the disappointment of many people, it seems that the matter only ends here, and there is no follow-up.
Dump the pot on commercial spies and you're done.
Xu Nan watched the whole scene, and suddenly felt that he was sitting at the venue of the Stephensand branch of Paradise Lost.
It's no wonder that Aoye doesn't worry about settling these messes at all, he doesn't need to do anything, these people can settle it themselves.
There is an element of Ansuli's will in this regard, as well as the fact that Paradise Lost is currently in Stephen Sand's strong influence.
Those low-level alchemists probably never imagined that the sanctimonious justices and jury members who talked about democracy, freedom and the rule of law must be involved...... They are all ghosts of Paradise Lost!
In fact, if you think about it, this result is also very normal.
Xu Nan took a closer look at the information given by Emma, and only a small group of people who really opposed cooperating with Paradise Lost were Stephen Sand.
This small group of people are represented by alchemists, after all, Paradise Lost is really harming their interests.
Most of the rest of the people actually had an indifferent attitude, especially under Ansuli's will, they also had to consider the idea of the legendary mage.
In Roger's case, one of his mages who studied arcane energy and asked him if he used the same alchemy product, would it be better to use a copycat of Paradise Lost or an original version from Stephen Sand? He certainly couldn't tell.
The only difference between the two is that Paradise Lost is much cheaper.
In the short term, many people have benefited from Paradise Lost's products entering Stephen Sand; Of course, in the long run, this kind of large-scale copycat behavior is actually not advisable and will seriously discourage the original enthusiasm of Stephen Sand's alchemists.
Many people are confused, is Ansulee, who is the head of Stephen Sand, so confused?
Xu Nan is also one of the confused.
Although he has a vested interest, he always feels that Stephen Sand's higher-ups will not be so stupid, and Paradise Lost must have made some kind of sacrifice in other aspects in exchange for Ansully's acquiescence.
But all this has nothing to do with him anymore.
At the end of the trial, the lower house of the Council of Elders also made public the prepared statement, and despite the excitement of the crowd, no one died of a cold under the general trend.
After all, the tone has been set above, and the following execution is over.
It is worth mentioning that the Alchemists Guild also wanted to struggle, and they united with the vice president of the Protective School to try to link the Paradise Lost delegation's entry into Stephen Sand and and the recent frequent incidents of commercial espionage.
They strongly urged law enforcement to inspect the details of the people in Paradise Lost.
Xu Nan just sneered at this, this group of people is still too naïve, not to mention that diplomatic relations are here, how can we people in Paradise Lost be so easy to be checked out even if they are not clean?
As soon as this thought came to him, he saw Emma honestly crumpled a design drawing in her arms and swallowed it in her stomach.
The skillful movements are distressing.
At this time, it was Xu Nan's turn to stand up.
After all, it was he who was the titular boss of the delegation.
He submitted a document directly to Stephen Sand's official website, which included a caption and an image from a photographic scroll.
This information shows that the two commercial spies who are said to have sabotaged the Centennial Festival of the Guardian Sect actually had close talks with the vice president of the Guardian Sect before the incident!
This information was like a bombshell, and it exploded directly in Stephen Sand.
Xu Nan actually didn't want to smash it out so quickly, but if this group of people had to die, then don't blame his subordinates for being ruthless.
"Actually, I'm quite sympathetic, after all, Stephen Sand's alchemists have provided us with a lot of productivity, and I don't want to do bad things."
"It's a pity ......"
Xu Nan sighed in his heart.
This information is naturally true.
Although the Shadow Scroll was not conclusive evidence, the discussion about whether the entire espionage incident was self-directed and self-staged by the Protective School, and the deeper topics behind it, became Stephen Sand's hottest topic of the night.
Throughout the incident, Paradise Lost takes on the posture of a victim.
Xu Nan, as the leader of the delegation, severely condemned Stephen Sand's suspected framing behavior, and claimed that if such behavior cannot be severely punished, it will be difficult for the cooperation between the two sides to last.
Of course, this kind of scene is scary.
However, the basic effect has already been achieved, the situation has gradually stabilized, and it is not surprising that within three days, the signing of the white paper will not be a big problem.
Even in this negotiation, Stephen Sand's side can take the lead in softening and win more benefits for Paradise Lost.
As for where did the crucial photographic scroll come from?
Well, Xu Nan deliberately went back to the earth to buy brand-name cosmetics in major shopping malls, do you think they were bought for the captain of the urban management team?
Mr. Lawrnes' favorite squire was probably trying on the latest liquid foundation in one of his sunglasses right now.
Again, as long as you know the preferences, Ron Warlocks are professional in bribery.
……
The commercial espionage incident has come to an end for the time being. Everyone understands that cooperation with Paradise Lost is the way to go.
Some of the owners of the alchemy workshop have begun to worry, after all, the entry of Paradise Lost's products into Stephen and Sand may have a huge impact on the existing market structure.
The only thing that made them feel relieved was that the cooperation between the two sides was only preliminary for the time being, and there were not many projects to work on, and the first batch of Paradise Lost alchemy products to enter the Stephensand market would not exceed ten types.
Ten types, it shouldn't be a lot, right?
The naïve alchemists thought by chance.
Xu Nan was not idle.
Although he was speechless about a bunch of undisciplined guys, since he came to Stephen Sand, he stopped by for a stroll.
Anyway, the money for selling Tiamas's ashes has been paid, and now Xu Nan is very rich.
To meet the shopping needs of the dungeon residents in a small way, you should send out the New Year's goods in advance.
He wandered around the shops in the women's jewelry area, made a generous move, bought a lot of bells and whistles underwear for Qin Lele according to the standard of A, and bought some facial masks for Senior Sister Jiang.
"This this, this this...... Let's pack them all up. ”
Seeing that the white paper was about to be signed, Xu Nan was in a good mood, and the whole person was a little floating.
At this time, a small face that seemed to be smiling came over, looked at Xu Nan's shopping list, and couldn't help but be surprised:
"What are you buying so many sanitary napkins for?"
She pointed to a large package of exquisitely packaged things in Xu Nan's shopping cart and asked.
Xu Nan stubbornly said, "What do you care about me?" ”
Then he quietly threw the large bag of sanitary napkins back into the shelf.
He looked at the bells and whistles of the packaging of that thing, and put it together with his underwear, and he knew what it was.
Emma nodded thoughtfully:
"But this model is Jiang's favorite."
Xu Nan's scalp is numb, is it really such a coincidence? There are so many sanitary napkins in the whole Stephen Sand, and I just happened to buy what Senior Sister Jiang likes to use?
It's a bit embarrassing, and I can't explain it clearly.
He looked at Emma for a long time, trying to change the subject: "Are you following me?" ”
Emma glanced at him: "No matter which man goes on a shopping spree in the women's section, it will attract attention, okay?" ”
"I'm just stopping by to buy something."
Xu Nan coughed and was about to leave, but who knew that at this time, Emma suddenly stopped him and asked mysteriously:
"Are you interested in Stephen Sand's most famous love story?"
Xu Nan shook his head decisively. He really didn't want to stay with this female mage who was unrequited in love with Senior Sister Jiang, for fear that he would accidentally be sorry for Jiang Yuanchi!
As for any bullshit love story, he has no interest at all!
"I know there's a Black Witch in the Sea of Damned, and her prophecy spells are so precise that they surpass all of Stephen Sanry."
Emma didn't seem to see his refusal at all, and said to herself:
"It is said that as long as there are two people's things, she can predict their future."
"I heard you're Roman's apprentice, so you must have something from him?"
Xu Nan was surprised: "What does this have to do with my teacher?" ”
Emma frowned: "Stephen Sand's most famous love story is the wild history of Ansolie and Romang!" ”
Xu Nan groaned:
"Where's the Black Witch?"
