196. Public Trial
When the first rays of the morning sun shine on the city, this centuries-old city gradually awakens.
The breeze blew away the morning mist, the low walls of the shrubs lining the streets of the city were covered with dew, and the buildings of the city shimmered in the morning sun.
A crowd of onlookers gathered at the fountain in the city center square of Ivorson and stood on the edge of the pool, pointing at the bronze statue of Grand Duke Bussmann in the center of the pool.
It is a giant bronze statue more than ten meters high, showing the scene of the first Grand Duke Bussman riding a green dragon with wings ready to fly, just below the green dragon is the stele of the statue, surrounded by forty-nine war reliefs, basically covering the great achievements of the first Grand Duke Bussman, those war pictures show the Ivorson resisting all kinds of beast tides, and competing with the orcs for various rich regions in the Roland continent.
As the Empire has grown stronger, although the wars have ceased in the last few hundred years, there have been no skirmishes, and the Grimm Empire has occupied the land along the eastern coast of the vast Roland Continent, while the Orcs live in the barren Pai Plateau.
Of course, the people in the square were not paying attention to this, but they saw that there seemed to be a number of young people hanging from the water curtain of the fountain, these young people were hanging from their arms and shoulders, and they were hung in front of the sculptures by ropes, almost all of them were stripped to the bottom of only one. trousers, and around their necks hung a plank on which was written in red lacquer the name of each young nobleman, and some of the abbreviated charges they had committed.
The handwriting is very sloppy, and even the wooden panels look like the doors of the shops around the square, and I don't know who stole them here.
The group of young people all seemed unconscious, and someone was standing on the floor of the fountain, trying to wake them up, but they didn't respond after shouting a few times.
"Hey, what mistakes did these young people make, and they have to be made public!" Someone in the crowd asked, puzzled.
Some curious citizens walked through the water curtain of the fountain, ran inside to read the words on the wooden boards, and then came out of the fountain with strange faces, stood on the stone steps on the edge of the fountain, wiped the water from their faces with their hands, and then grinned and said to the citizens gathered by the fountain:
"I read the text on a few plaques, which probably said that they were a group of deserters who escaped from the battle, and it was because of their wrong tactical strategy on the front line that a war group of nearly 10,000 soldiers was slaughtered by the demon army, and then turned their backs on the Bednar army and ran to Evorsen to try to join the Bussman army."
Bronze statues stand in the center of the fountain, and these young nobles are hung from the relief frescoes on the base of the statues, which are also very eye-catching through the fountain.
"If these people join the Bussman Legion, then our people are going to be trapped...... someone said worriedly.
"Oh my God!" A middle-aged woman immediately covered her chest with her hands, and her expression was very exaggerated.
An old man on crutches, dressed in a decent aristocratic dress, stood in the crowd and said righteously: "No! We want to stop this from happening, we want to give a joint letter to the Ewalsen City Council Hall, and we must not let this matter pass the parliamentary vote. ”
The old man, who had just been feeding the pigeons in the square, immediately chimed in: "Yes, I want to write a letter to the councillor. ”
Of course, there are also people who think and ask: "Who is tying them up here, and shouldn't people like them be locked up in prison?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him immediately asked, "Have you ever seen a nobleman living in a prison?" ”
The people in the central square of Ivorson City were still arguing by the pool, but no one wanted to step forward to rescue those young people, as for how to rescue these young nobles, that was the responsibility of the Ivorson Guard Battalion, and it had nothing to do with them, these citizens were more concerned about the series of effects that the whole incident would bring to Ivorson City.
Someone in the crowd shouted: "Don't make any noise, the knights of the guard battalion have arrived, let them deal with this matter." ”
Two knights of the guard battalion ran from the opposite side of the central square, the weather was hot, they were dressed in light leather armor, and the shield and knight's sword hung next to the saddle, they came to the fountain and dismounted, and asked the surrounding citizens about the situation, and then they found the young nobles hanging on the pedestal of the statue, and a young guard battalion knight tried to walk over to rescue these young nobles, but was pulled by another older guard battalion knight.
"Hey, man, wait a minute, we should make a report first, there aren't many people in Evorson City who would dare to do such a thing!" The older knight of the guard battalion looked a little cautious.
The young knight's expression was abrupt and he said, "You mean that young master Quentin from the Bussman family?" ”
The older guard battalion knight spread his hands and said helplessly: "I'm just guessing, after all, no one can say for sure until this kind of thing is ...... clear."
The people of Ewalson Square gathered more and more, this blatant contempt for the power of the aristocracy, and the public disclosure of the misdeeds of these young nobles, and the trial of the people in the central square, made the people of Ewalsen City boil, and a group of knights of the guard battalion maintained order in the square, but no one dared to openly rescue those young nobles.
And those young nobles don't know what kind of magic they have been hit, and they are still unconscious, but their vital signs are very normal, only occasionally there are some spasms in the body, and everyone also thinks that it may be like this after being hung for a long time, no one thought that they are still struggling in nightmares.
Wait until Quentin. When Bussmann arrived at the central square of Evorsen with the castle guards, it was already close to noon.
The scorching sun shone down, and the scorching sun breath dispelled the nightmare aura that could only survive in the shadows little by little, and the young nobles slowly woke up.
Quentin. Bussman waved his hand coldly, and a group of castle guards rushed up to free the young nobles from their relief pedestals, and lifted them out of the fountain and placed them on the edge of the fountain, without thinking of covering them with a little ugliness.
In full view of everyone, Quentin's face turned red with anger, and he wanted to abandon them immediately and turn away.
After waiting for a while, none of the twenty young nobles woke up.
The chief knight next to him came to Quentin's side and whispered a few words to Quentin, and Quentin ordered someone to draw water from the pool, and constantly poured it on them, and after a while, the group of young nobles woke up slowly, but after they woke up, they all seemed to be greatly frightened, and looked around in fear and vigilance, as if there were hidden demons and monsters in the crowd around them.
Quentin. Bussman looked at the scene in front of him with a blue face, and said to his knights in a deep voice: "Check ...... for me."
