26 Undercurrents

Conrad screamed and was taken down by the gendarmes, and the sudden turn of events surprised Noin, and on the other hand, the two of them who were still in close contact with the ground were even more stunned.

"What's going on?isn't the Heraldic Academy on the side of the Prime Minister's faction?" asked Erie in a whisper.

β€œ...... Of course not. Elie rolled his eyes at him, and replied in the same whisper. "The House of Heraldry is a symbol of the law, an absolutely neutral institution of law, and does not belong to any power. ”

"Looks like that's right......" Kirin nodded, pointing at Conrad, who had been dragged away by the gendarmes, and winked at Erie. "By the way, how does it feel to see what happened to that guy?"

"Well, it's very refreshing......" Yili curled the corners of his mouth, admitting the truth in a reluctant tone.

"I feel the same way, and it seems that this is the right place. ”

The Kirin let out a long laugh and jumped up from the ground. Sensing his movement, Noyin frowned.

"Kirin, you ......"

"Wait a minute, Noin, my side is more important. Kirin raised his hand to block Noin, and turned to greet Norwes.

"Chief of the gendarme, may I ask you a question?"

β€œ...... What's the problem?" Norwes responded.

"Although this is just my speculation, ...... When the Heraldic Court accepted Conrad's impeachment, it must have already made plans to settle accounts with him?" asked Kirin. "In other words, whether he succeeds in the end or not, the result will be the same as it is now, right?"

"What?" Erie shook as if he had been hit.

"Huh?" Noin also showed a look of surprise that could not be concealed.

The eyes of the two of them converged on Novis's body, and under their gaze, the face of the chief of the military police, who seemed to be like a bronze statue, also showed a slightly shaky expression.

β€œ...... Why do you think that?" it took a few seconds for Norvis to ask.

"Well, it's kind of a gut feeling. Kirin shrugged his shoulders.

"Intuition......" Norwes exhaled as if smiling, then hid his expression and replied to Kirin in a transactional tone.

"All I can say is that it is a fact that Conrad impeached Captain IsΓ©re, and so is the crime he committed...... That's it, do you have any questions?"

"No, no. Qilin shook his head happily and said proudly: "My problem is over, just do what you have to do!

"Kirin!"

"Don't meddle, Noin, it's my own problem. Kirin interrupted Noyin's words, clearly refusing. "It was my decision to storm the heraldic court, and I was the one who attacked the gendarmes. Even if it's well-intentioned, hiding behind a woman isn't my interest. ”

The unicorn, who announced like this, showed a calm and fearless smile in front of Nuoyin. Those black eyes, as clear as the night sky, were filled with unquestionable sincerity and unshakable spirit. While being moved, Nuo Yin also realized that if he persevered, he would inevitably hurt Qilin's reserve, so he had to stop, just staring at him with a gaze that he couldn't let go.

"Also, this guy was forcibly arrested by me as a witness, and it has nothing to do with me. Kirin pointed to Erie and explained. "Basically, I should be a victim. So just let him go, okay?"

"Hey, what are you?," Yili also looked very dissatisfied.

β€œ...... Let's just think so. Norwes agreed to Kirin's request. "In other words, the crime of storming the heraldic court and the corresponding punishment are all counted on you, is that okay?"

"That's right, I'll take care of it all. Kirin nodded proudly.

"Well, according to the laws of the kingdom, those who rush into state institutions without permission......" Norwes, who was about to pronounce the sentence, suddenly felt a pricked gaze from behind, and couldn't help but stagnate.

In fact, he didn't have to look back to know who was staring at him - completely different from the calm expression of the previous trial, at this time, Noyin, with a terrifying gaze that was enough to make ordinary monsters retreat, the appearance of "If you dare to sentence a heavy sentence, you will look good", it is easy to think of a female beast who shows her claws to protect her young son.

was cast a murderous gaze from behind the strongest pilot in the kingdom, even the chief of the gendarmerie couldn't help but hesitate for a moment. It took several seconds for Norwes to cough, clear his throat, and re-announce the punishment of the Kirin. β€œ...... According to the laws of the Kingdom, anyone who violates the normal operation of state institutions without authorization is punishable by imprisonment for six months to one year. But if you are a first-time offender, and you have a good attitude in confessing your guilt, let it be lenient and be punished with fifty rods and a fine of five hundred. ”

Hearing Norwes' announcement, Noin's face immediately turned pale.

In fact, the torture stick used by the heraldic court was a solid iron rod one meter long and half a foot wide, and one piece weighed forty or fifty pounds. For those who are weaker, ten sticks will basically kill half a life. Even if he is a strong warrior, he will have to lie in bed for at least a year and a half after taking fifty sticks to recover, which is definitely a heavy punishment. According to Kirin's previous statement, Norwes felt that the fifty torture sticks should not hurt his muscles and bones, so he painstakingly came up with this punishment that would not only maintain the authority of the heraldic court, but also not be too severe.

"Oh...... Oh. Kirin replied in a rather humble voice. He was not worried about the deadly fifty sticks, but about the additional five hundred fines.

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

Fifty sticks is not a light punishment, but it should be endured with the body of a unicorn.

Although the Duke comforted his youngest daughter for such reasons, Charlotte couldn't let go of her heart, and ran after Noyin and Erie to guard the unicorn and be tortured. Outside the torture hall and listening to the muffled sound of "banging" coming from inside, the Duke could fully imagine the appearance of the glenched gendarmes inside - after all, considering the fact that Kirin had brought down many of his companions and wiped a heavy stroke on the face of the gendarmerie, it was difficult for him to blame these gendarmes for revenge.

But on the other hand, contrary to the sound of beatings one after another, I didn't hear the unicorn's cry of pain at all.

(I don't know if it's strong-willed or too stubborn...... Those bastard guys don't know how to show mercy to their subordinates, so there's no point in doing this kind of thing...... The Duke lingered outside the door with a bitter face, but at last he did not step forward. (That's it, the young man's business should be left to the young man, anyway, the girl of Noin is there to guard, and there will be no accidents...... It's a big trouble to clean up the aftermath of this matter, so let's prepare before we make a big fuss...... οΌ‰

The thought of the aftermath made the Duke feel a headache. He rubbed his temples as he walked towards the tarmac behind the heraldic courtyard,

(Anyway, I didn't expect it to be done...... Recalling the scene of the trial*, the Duke could not help but marvel at the unicorn. (Just a few days after coming to the royal capital, he suppressed the arrogance of the Embrion family twice, and it would be too much to say that it was all luck...... Well, it's really not an ordinary person, my favorite son-in-law...... οΌ‰

There is absolutely no doubt that the unicorn has overwhelming force, but it is not his force that makes the duke look away, but a certain quality that he has shown in this incident. The son of the Greine Chamber of Commerce, who was originally on the side of the Prime Minister's faction, stood up for Nuo Yin because of him. The adjutant of the anxious Sky King entrusted him with the hope of saving his boss. The chief of the gendarmerie, who held the sword of law, retracted his blade in front of him in a rare way. Even the Duke himself, who should have cultivated a normal heart a long time ago, followed him all the way to the heraldic courtyard to see what was going on.

Whether it's Erie, Noyin, Charlotte, or Norwes, anyone who meets that black young man seems to be unconsciously attracted to him, and is driven by him intentionally or unintentionally. In the body of the unicorn, there is a charm that people are willing to follow. It doesn't matter if it's called a strong man's demeanor, or it's a hegemon's arrogance. Originally, in this chaotic world of constant strife, everyone could only do their best to guard their own interests, but in this young man from the Great Wilderness, the Duke faintly saw a spirit that swallowed the world, like a milk tiger approaching a hundred beasts, like a young eagle facing the wind and dust.

"'Is the unicorn a thing in the pool, and it will turn into a dragon when it encounters a storm'......"

The duke unconsciously recited an ancient saying, but then remembered that he had heard it from Chechen, and suddenly sighed.

"Hmph, although they are brothers, their personalities are completely different...... It seems that the prospective son-in-law is not the kind of man who will put his mind on a woman, and Nuo Yin's girl is also a dead-eyed character, so it may not be so easy to make the two of them a pair...... Hmm, it's really troublesome, when will the old man be able to hold his grandson like this......"

The Duke walked down the corridor in annoyance, and as he walked around the corner of the corridor, an unexpected figure appeared in his field of vision.

β€œ...... Is there something wrong?" looked at the man, and the Duke frowned.

"Your Excellency Norwes, I've seen Your Excellency the Duke. ”

The man standing there was none other than the chief of the gendarmerie, who seemed to be waiting for the duke here. What was surprising was that the chief of the gendarmerie, who had great power in the heraldic courtyard, bowed his head and saluted the duke.

"Howes......" the Duke stroked his beard, restrained his troubled expression, and looked at him with dissatisfaction. "I've heard Ancia talk about you. It seems that when she was out, she handed over the heraldic temple to you to manage. ”

"Yes, I have been entrusted by Lord Anxia to take her place in charge of the Heraldic Academy. Norwes replied respectfully.

"Speaking of which, it seems like we are meeting for the first time......" The Duke deliberately emphasized the word "first", and unceremoniously reprimanded the chief of the gendarmerie in front of him. "However, you didn't do a pretty job this time! you actually hit our daughter-in-law with the idea, and you also made that kind of punishment to my son-in-law-to-be, even if it was to get Ancia back, it was too much. ”

β€œ...... When he received Conrad's impeachment letter, he thought it was an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, but he didn't expect to implicate the unicorn son. Norwes did not deny the duke's accusations. "However, thanks to the blessing of the son, the punishment of the evil son is even more justified, and this incident should have a certain deterrent effect on the arrogance of the prime minister's faction, at least in the next thought. ”

"Court struggle is not the responsibility of the House of Heraldry. The Duke frowned. "If the sword of supreme law becomes the weapon of those in power, you should know what the consequences will be. ”

"I know that if I do this, I will one day be reprimanded by Lord Anchia, but it is also the responsibility of the Heraldic Court to protect the order of the country. Norwes looked at the Duke with a more measured expression than ever. "Your Excellency, you have already ordered that no one else come near here, so please be sure to answer the next question. ”

β€œ...... "Having said that, the Duke had already guessed what Norvies was going to ask. And the next words of the chief of the gendarmerie also proved his guess.

"Why did the Duke allow Katos to disturb the court, and if the IselΓ©s came forward, it would not be impossible to stop the Prime Minister's faction, right?"

"Hey, that's two questions...... the duke said, "I knew it was going to happen."

"Your Excellency, please don't fool around. Norwes pleaded in a pleading tone.

β€œ...... Basically, that Katos guy is a real problem. After a moment of silence, the Duke spoke in a reluctant tone. "However, that's not the only problem. ”

"Not the only problem?"

"I mean, you don't know, do you?" the Duke sighed. "There are many problems in the kingdom of La Velis, and among them, Katos is not the only one, and it is not the most important. ”

"That being said......" Norwes tried to understand the Duke's words. "Just because the prime minister's faction is not the most important issue, so leave it alone? If this continues, the country will ......."

"You seem to have made a mistake, Lord. The Duke interrupted him. "Although the Iseire family has the nickname of 'uncrowned royal family', it is not a real royal family. After all, there is no one else who is qualified to lead this country and show us the way but the royal family of La Velis. ”

β€œ...... Your Majesty?" Novis couldn't help but look puzzled as he thought of the new king, who had been almost forgotten. "However, since the Prime Minister's faction took power, His Majesty has not managed government affairs at all in the past year?"

"yes, that's one of those problems. The Duke nodded, rubbing his temples with a headache. "Speaking of which, what the hell is that kid thinking......

Under Norwes's blank gaze, the Duke pondered for a while and then came back to his senses, shrugged his shoulders at Norwes, and said in conclusion. "In short, the Heraldic Court cannot intervene in the palace struggle, and there will be no next incident like this one. I know you're worried about the fate of this country and want to do something about it, but just wait and see what happens. ”

"Wait and see, isn't it......" Norwes looked incredulous.

"I'm afraid it won't be long before that's leisurely. The duke exhaled a long breath, looked back in the direction of the torture hall, and said in a tone mixed with pride and helplessness: "You also saw it just now, right? Although I don't know if it's good or bad, but with this impact, this king probably won't be quiet in the future. ”

β€œ...... I know, since there is a guarantee from His Excellency the Duke, let's wait and see what happens for the time being. The chief of the gendarmerie relaxed his shoulders and agreed with the duke's opinion, but then as if he remembered something, he showed a stern expression. "Your Excellency, there is one more thing to tell you below. ”

"Anything else?" said the duke, with an impatient expression.

"Well, it's hard to say...... though," after a pause, the chief of the gendarmerie plucked up his courage and spoke in a very cautious tone. "Considering the noble status of the IsΓ¨re family, and the fact that Your Excellency is the father of Lord Anthea, ...... That, similar to the previous obscene act such as urinating in public in public, I think it's better not to do it often. ”
