22 Initial Allies

Conrad filed a petition for impeachment with the House of Heraldry on charges of "omission" and "collusion with the air thieves", but ironically, the evidence was the fact that the "* kidnapping" of the air thieves had been eliminated.

The criminal records of the "*Raider" regiment are piled up on Noin's desk, which is literally "full of evil". More than half of the cases of air thieves that have been pending in recent years in the military archives can be counted as the heads of the "* captive" regiments. It is certainly a great feat to eliminate such a vicious air thief group, but on the other hand, allowing an air thief group to commit so many cases in the jurisdiction of the area, Nuo Yin, as the commander of the "Sky King Cavalry", cannot escape the blame.

Conrad wanted to impeach Noin on this ground. Although such a claim is not entirely unreasonable, the lie that Noin and the others arrived belatedly two hours after the airship was attacked is nonsense. Prime Minister Katos took advantage of the power of the Embrian family to pressure all the surviving passengers to sign the forged impeachment papers, and even claimed that the "Sky King Rider" was suspected of colluding with the air thieves.

The easiest way to save Noin is to prove that the evidence provided by Conrad is not true. And at this point, Yili, as a survivor of the air thief incident, has a lot of power, so the first thing Kirin thought after learning about the situation is to come to the tavern to find the merchant's son.

“...... In other words, you want me to come forward as a witness to prove the innocence of Bai Xiangchang?" Yili looked rather distressed.

His hesitation was justified. Unlike the unconcerned Kirin, he is the Shaodong of the Greine Chamber of Commerce, and his actions also represent the position of the Greine family. Although the Grey Chamber of Commerce is one of the top ten large chambers of commerce in the kingdom, whether it is the prime minister's faction that leans towards the government and the opposition, or the Isère family of the "uncrowned royal family", they are all huge beings that the small chamber of commerce is far from being able to compete with. Therefore, the Greine Chamber of Commerce has always been careful to maintain relations with those in power, and as for the previous incident of Erie entertaining Conrad on the "Virgin", it was part of the Greine Chamber of Commerce's public relations operation.

Kirin asks Erie to prove Noin's innocence as a survivor of the Air Thieves. For the Greine Chamber of Commerce, which has always been biased towards the Prime Minister's faction, this is equivalent to letting it abandon the Prime Minister's faction and switch to the "uncrowned royal family" camp. Unlike the previous private drinking, if Erie really dared to stand up and directly oppose Conrad's impeachment this time, the Greine Chamber of Commerce would definitely be targeted by the Prime Minister's faction from now on. Thinking of such an outcome, it was really difficult for Yili to agree to Kirin's request.

"Doesn't your family have a family motto of 'the grace of a drop of water, and the spring reciprocates'?" Qilin pointed out with his hands in front of his chest and some dissatisfaction. "Noin is our savior. If she hadn't arrived in time, we would have been reduced to ashes along with the airship. Now that your benefactor is in trouble, are you going to stand by and watch?"

"Although...... Even so......" Erie replied with a sad face. "My personal words don't matter, but from the standpoint of the Greine Chamber of Commerce......"

"Greine Chamber of Commerce......" Kirin nodded thoughtfully. "You are the Shaodong of the Greine Chamber of Commerce, if you stand up against Conrad in this matter, that bastard prime minister may be angry with the head of the Greine Chamber of Commerce...... You're worried about that, right?"

"yes......" Erie said with a bitter expression. "With the scale of the Greine Chamber of Commerce, I can't afford to offend the Prime Minister's faction at all, and if I come forward to confront Prince Conrad, I will definitely be ......"

"That kind of garbage doesn't even bother with him. If something happens to Noin, I'll send him to hell as quickly as possible. Kirin interrupted Erie. "Besides, if the Greine Chamber of Commerce really had to choose one of the people in power to form an alliance, I think the Iseire family would be a better choice than the prime minister of the tyranny. After all, compared to settling with the useless idiot young master, selling a favor to the duke uncle in this matter first, I don't know how much higher the reward in the future will be compared to the former. Even from a businessman's point of view, it's a good deal, don't you think?"

“...... True...... Truly. Yili looked at the Kirin in surprise, and his eyes flashed with a strange look.

Even the powerful prime minister's faction did not dare to make a move against the Isère family, and who in the kingdom did not know the dignity of the "uncrowned royal family"? But the problem is that it is because the Isére family is a noble existence far away in the clouds, and it is simply unattainable for the Greine Chamber of Commerce, which does not have any titles, so the Greine Chamber of Commerce has no choice but to choose to tie up with the prime minister's faction. And now, Kirin has pointed out a path for Yili to become attached to the "Uncrowned Royal Family", which is simply a dream opportunity for the Gray Chamber of Commerce.

But the problem is that the price of seizing the opportunity is to be the enemy of the prime minister's faction from now on, so to speak, danger and chance coexist. If it is done well, the future of the Greine Chamber of Commerce is just around the corner, and if it is not done well, the Greine Chamber of Commerce may disappear tomorrow. Without consulting his father, it was difficult for Erie to make a decision alone.

"Now is not the time to hesitate, Erie. Kirin held out his hand towards Erie. "If you decide, help me. ”

Yili looked at Qiqi in a daze. There was no flowery rhetoric, the black young man in front of him simply stretched out his hand, but Yili's heart unbelievably welled up with an urge to clasp that hand.

Qiqi's strong will, as well as the stormy action, brought him an indescribable sense of pleasure. As if galloping on a fierce horse on the endless grassland, Yili couldn't help but wonder what kind of superb scenery he would be able to see if he followed him side by side? For Yili, the son of a merchant, he had never expected such expectations from anyone else before.

"I'll ask you too, Master Grayne. At this time, Rachel also pleaded with Erie in a earnest tone, and her words became the last weight to tip the scales.

“...... I know. The young man in white sighed helplessly and reached out to hold Qilin's hand. "Let me do a little bit for Iserale Baixiang. ”

"That's it. Kirin laughed and put his hand around Erie's shoulder. "But don't worry, Greine Merchant won't be alone. ”

"Huh?" said Erie blinked.

"Actually, I just remembered it......" Kirin squinted at the rows of shops across from the tavern, confirming to Erie.

"You seem to have said on the airship that except for the Greine Chamber of Commerce, the other chambers of commerce on Second Avenue have been rescued by the Sky King, right?"

"That's right......" Erie suddenly felt uneasy. "What are you going to do?"

"It's not a big deal, I'm just thinking that since they both owe Noin a favor......" Kirin winked at Erie, smiling at the Merchant's Son.

"Then it's only natural for them to contribute to this matter, right?"

........................

If there is a more heavily guarded place in Lingeil than the royal palace, it is the House of Heraldry.

The Heraldic Court is the highest supervisory body of the Kingdom of La Velis, independent of the court, from the princes and nobles to the officers and soldiers, all of whom exercise their power. It can be said that in the kingdom of L'Avelis, the House of Heraldry has supreme power - judging by common sense, this situation is not normal, but if you want to ask why this abnormal situation occurs in the kingdom of L'Velis, you have to start with the dragon war three hundred years ago.

The Dragonman War is a war between the rising dragons and the celestials who dominate the sky, and this war destroys the thriving sky civilization, and the defeated Celestials also suffer heavy casualties in this war. The floating cities built by the celestials were also destroyed by the dragons, and one by one they fell to the ground. Only a handful of Celestials survived the war - in fact, the predecessor of Lingear City was the remnant of a floating city that fell during the Dragonman War, in other words, the ancestors of the Ravelis royal family were the Celestials of the Ancient People.

The ancestors of the royal family of Lavelis chose to intermarry with the earthlings and strive to establish order in the chaotic earthly realm, but not all the surviving celestials had the same idea as them. Among the surviving celestials, only a few chose to coexist with earthly humans, while most of the celestials chose to keep their original way of life. Somewhere above earth, they built a fortress called the Tower of Babel and lived in it almost cut off from the outside world.

The "Tower of Babel" inherited most of the legacy of the sky civilization, and as for the technologies such as airships and air rides that are commonly used in the earthly realm today, almost all of them are the products of the "Tower of Babel" religion granted to the people on the earth. For all the countries of the earthly realm, the "Tower of Babel" is not only the source of the flying technology commonly used by them, but also the lifeblood of the activities of the nations, and it is like a "holy place". The Tower of Babel imparted knowledge of the heavenly civilization to the people of the earth, and in order to ensure that these precious civilizational legacies did not become the fuse of another world war, the "Tower of Babel" had corresponding monitoring agencies in the countries receiving its assistance, and in the Kingdom of Lavelis, the name of that institution was called the "House of Heraldry".

At first, the "Heraldic Academy" was only set up to govern the military that used aerial technology, but because the Kingdom of Lavelis and the "Tower of Babel" had always been friendly, and then with the deepening of exchanges between the two sides, the "Heraldic Academy" gradually changed from the original supervision agency under the "Tower of Babel" to the highest supervision body of the subordinate kingdom. Although there were some complaints about this from the "Tower of Babel", for the kingdom of La Velis, the existence of the "House of Heraldry" did become an indispensable and important part of maintaining national order.

However, at present, due to the departure of an important person, the heraldic court has fallen into an unprecedented embarrassing situation. As a result, under the ingenious calculation of Prime Minister Katos, he had to become a political tool for realizing his ambitions.

Conrad was charged with "inaction" and "collusion with air thieves" and impeached Bai Xiangchang, who was the "Sky King's Rider", to the Heraldic Academy. Considering Nuoyin's special status, the Heraldic Institute specially sent a gendarmerie to invite her to the Heraldic Institute to assist in the investigation. Noin was not restrained because she was only assisting in the investigation, and she was sitting on the side of the courtroom, listening to the inquisitor above read Conrad's impeachment with little interest.

Most of the long letters of impeachment were for the crimes of "* captive" the air pirates, and it didn't take long for Noin to turn his attention to a certain evil boy on the other side. Noyin's gaze, Conrad showed her a vicious expression as if he had a deep resentment, needless to say, Noin could guess that it must have something to do with the lesson he had been taught by Kirin yesterday.

(...... Was it Katos' idea?) Noin judged.

Conrad proposed impeachment not as a prince of Embrion, but as a survivor of an air pirate attack, thus making it impossible for the House of Heraldry to question the legitimacy of his motives. At the same time, Conrad also skillfully distorted the perspective of the case, creating the illusion that the "Sky King Rider" allowed the air thieves to run rampant. Although it is nonsense that the "air cavalry force is long overdue", the impeachment document as evidence has the signatures of many passengers. The convergence of various conditions makes it impossible for Nuo Yin to defend himself.

Noin didn't think that the evil boy in front of him could think of such a clever method, and it must be the Prime Minister Katos behind it. At the behest of Katos, it means that the careerist has decided to go to war against the Isères. For Katos, who can't wait to take control of the supreme power of the kingdom, the Isère family is an obstacle that cannot be bypassed, and although Noin is also prepared for the conflict between the two sides sooner or later, he did not expect this to start.

Honestly, it caught her off guard.

The Heraldic Court is not on the side of the Prime Minister's faction, but it is also not biased towards the Isère family, and in a sense, the Heraldic Court plays the role of a balance on the political scale. Just as it is difficult for Katos to use the power of the prime minister to oppress the heraldic court, in other words, even if the duke himself intervenes, it will not be able to achieve obvious results. In this way, Katos's choice of the completely neutral heraldic court of Tongguò to attack the Isère family can be described as a brilliant means - although Noin has never had a crush on Katos, the man who is privately called "vulture" by the court ministers does have a knack for intrigue.

Even if he knew that it was Katos's conspiracy, Noin could not defend himself. Conrad sued the entire "Sky King" to the Heraldic Academy, and all she could do was do her best not to implicate her subordinates. By the time Noin had secretly made up his mind, the investigator had already read Conrad's impeachment note, and according to the established procedure, he had to confirm with Noin whether the above statements were true.

"Excuse me, Captain Isère, do you have any objections to the contents of the impeachment letter?"

The inquisitor confirmed to Noin in a formulaic tone, but Noin noticed the gray man standing in the corner of the courtroom.

The man's name was Norwes, and he held the post of chief of the gendarmerie of the Heraldic Academy. And, for some reason, Noin had known him for a long time.

In Noyin, he saw that the chief of the gendarmerie could be said to be the most powerful military position in the kingdom, and Norwes had the calm temperament unique to the brave in battle, and he was indeed a figure worthy of the post of chief of the gendarmerie. Since the beginning of the trial, the silver man has hardly said a word, and has stood quietly on the side of the courtroom like a bronze statue, but when Noyin moved his gaze to him again, he was surprised to find that the chief of the gendarmerie was no longer the calm and unhurried appearance he had before.

Norwes was staring out the courtroom, frowning as if something serious was going on outside. Noin couldn't help but wonder about the reaction of the chief of the gendarmerie, and it didn't take long for her curiosity to be answered......
