Chapter 112: Star Chamber
Or that explosion, or that strange iron building, if you think that explosion has fulfilled its mission in this way, it can only be said that the too young, too simple Tucson is broken, now let you see its residual value. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The sound of the explosion spread far away, but the residents around the street only glanced at the curling black smoke and continued to do their own thing, chatting and chatting, hurrying and haggling, and continuing to fight a protracted war back and forth, as if they were no longer surprised by this kind of thing.
Yes, for the so-called goblin laboratory that is going to be blown up every three or five times, they have gradually become accustomed to it from the initial fear and anger accusation, of course, this is also because there have been no major accidents so far, although the roar from time to time is a little disturbing, but as long as those goblins don't blow up their houses, then thank God.
The smell of unpleasant engine oil, rust, and gunsmoke mixed with the goblin lab, which was stacked with strange engineering artifacts, and of course, the body odor of the little green-skinned man who hadn't taken a shower for months or years, gave Shirley the urge to have a lightning storm here, and Bai Huang was glad that he didn't have a sense of smell.
He looked at the black marks in the corner of the stone table that was full of messes not far away, and the two dwarfs who were also covered in pitch black, with their mouths open and spitting out wisps of black smoke, and once again realized the unreliability and death talent of these guys. Feeling the connection that was gradually moving away, Bai Huang unconsciously glanced in that direction, he clearly sensed that Christina was nearby, but one person and one skeleton were unusually tacitly not in a hurry to find each other, probably because they all felt that the time had not come, or they didn't think it was necessary.
This feeling is very subtle, as if a person who thinks about it day and night suddenly has only a wall apart, but he doesn't want to push open the door, but there is a natural expectation in his heart. Of course, it's not that kind of relationship between them, it's just complicated, they treat each other as friends, it's simple, and there is a very close contractual relationship.
Bai Huang sighed with emotion, but the two guys in the laboratory who died but couldn't die finally recovered from the explosion just now.
The goblin, who had been green from head to toe, seemed to have changed his skin, and only his green and white eyes were exposed, and he coughed violently, and then jumped on the messy experimental table, and condescendingly screamed at Brian, who was distressed by the big dirty beard: "Brian, it's all your fault! My great invention was almost born in this laboratory, and you will all be honored witnesses, but all this is destroyed by your stupidity, and I am fed up with your fish-man head!"
Brian couldn't get his handsome beard clean, but the more he wiped it, the dirtier it became, and when he heard this, he immediately blew his beard and glared angrily: "You are the fish man, your ancestors are all fish people! If you are not afraid of hardship and have to add caramel to it, how can it explode! You have to pay me a bottle of the best beard lotion, otherwise I will not be finished with you!"
The two of them immediately pinched each other, and the goblin Rick jumped on Brian's head and grabbed his beard directly, which directly angered Brian, the dwarven proverb "Hit a man without a beard" is not a joke, their importance to beard is raised to the height of racial beliefs.
Brian reached out to grab Rick, but Rick was unusually nimble, jumping up and down around him, teasing Brian constantly.
Cocoa on the side couldn't help but burst out laughing, not because Brian finally grabbed Rick and pinned him to the ground, but because the two of them had a lame knowledge of potions, and even a half-informed Cocoya found it amusing.
Shirley held Puff and stroked its golden hair gently, then scratched its throat, and the little one suddenly made a cooing sound in comfort.
Hey, are you a cat? weren't you still very vigilant some time ago? why are you sticking to this all day long? Bai Huang felt that after a while, this pig might even forget what his master's name was, it was really terrifying, and Shirley's ability to pry the corner of the wall was really not covered.
At this time, Brian made Rick raise the white flag with a German-style back throw, but the dwarf's waist (does the dwarf have a waist? I don't see it) is negligible, it is completely two dwarves falling together, and there is no domineering at all, whether it is falling or being thrown.
A farce has finally come to an end, causing everyone to mistakenly think that they are here to find trouble. In fact, they were going to arrange a place to stay because of Moses and Roy, and a few boring guys heard Brian say that they were coming to find an old friend and came over to make amends. However, judging from the results, Brian's so-called reminiscence is also very suspicious, they only saw two laymen tinkering with the potion, and after a burst of explosions, they began to fight, if the phrase "beating is kissing and scolding is love" also applies to dwarves and goblins, then the relationship between the two of them is still very good.
"Oh, you're still so violent, I'm going to have you arrested, convicted, and the guards shave your ugly beard. Rick staggered to his feet, a pair of mosquito coil eyes spinning, and pointed at a shelf and cursed.
Brian didn't bother to pay attention to him, and began to feel sorry for his big beard again, counting how many beards he had just been pulled off.
Bai Huang and Shirley never expected these two unreliable guys to entertain themselves, but one person and one skeleton did not have the slightest sense of restraint, and they made a fuss in the laboratory by themselves. Shirley had little interest in the tattered engineering artifacts in the lab, but a black robe covered in oil suddenly aroused her interest, and she leaned in and fiddled with it twice, and asked with a little surprise, "Mr. Rick, are you a judge?"
A goblin judge, though odd, was not to surprise Shirley, but the embroidered star motif on the judge's robe was enough to surprise her, which represented the position of the supreme judge of the Holy Duchy, a symbol of power and justice.
This sloppy goblin with the negative dimension of Potions is actually the supreme judge at the pinnacle of power in the Holy Duchy? This can simply subvert people's perception of the goblin race as greedy, cunning, treacherous, and deadly, which is no different from seeing a blue fat man dancing by the lake, both of which can crush the three views.
Hearing Shirley's question, Rick suddenly came to his senses, patted his bare head, and screamed, "Oh no, so immersed in the wonderful creation, I almost forgot that there was an important trial today." ”
Rick looked at the magic hourglass on the shelf, and suddenly looked like a cat with its tail stepped on, a burst of chickens and dogs jumping on the ground and a burst of busywork, casually wearing a judge's robe, and Rick with a soot face ran out without even saying hello.
"Let's go, there's something fun~"
A meaningful smile suddenly appeared on Shirley's face, she greeted Bai Huang and the others, and then followed Rick's footsteps to the Stahdas Palace in the Holy Duchy.
Hey, in such a sensitive period, it is really remarkable that the Star Chamber Court, the highest judicial court, is going to be heard?
As the highest judicial body of the Holy Duchy, the Star Chamber is generally not qualified to be heard in general disputes and criminal cases, and only major events involving nobles or even lords are worthy of the Supreme Judge's action, so in fact, the commoners have no concept of the Star Court, but the nobility of the Principality is afraid of this judicial body directly under the jurisdiction of the king.
"Hey, you dwarf, don't run so fast!" Brian hurried after him, though he hadn't realized what was happening.
"You dwarf, who are you scolding!" the two dwarves began to fight as they walked, which was a warm-up before the trial.
Although Bai Huang did not have as keen insight as Shirley, he had more or less guessed something, took Shirley by the hand, and followed unhurriedly.
Located in the western part of Augustus, the Stahdas Palace is a real landmark, and its grandeur and grandeur are accentuated by the magnificent and elegant buildings that surround it. There was a sparse flow of people in the square of justice and virtue in front of the palace, and occasionally a few carriages would stop on the side of the road, and a well-dressed and solemnly dressed figure would stride into the palace.
The Star Chamber is just a small part of the palace of Starhdas, which was originally built to honor the great men who have left their mark on the Principality's troubled history. Inside is not only the tomb of King Chester I, but also the tombstone of Leighton Vigrod, the god of war who turned the tide for the Principality during the first period of the most difficult period of oppression and almost the destruction of the country, which stands next to the tomb of Chester I, just as he swore to protect his promise to never break his word.
Even the swaggering Rick and Brian couldn't help but slow down as they walked down the solemn palace aisles.
Monument to the Star of Enlightenment, bronze statue of the first chief magistrate, commemorative carving of Queen Natasha II......
When the crowd walked up to the huge Libra statue, a symbol of justice and ruling, they knew that the destination of their trip was that the highest judicial body, the Star Chamber, was in front of them.
