Chapter 25 A dilemma
"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to recuperate at the inn? Zhou Wei looked at the clockwork in surprise.
"Well, I'm almost recovered. In the past two days, you have been a soldier, and I heard that I have been named a general, how can I stay there, I want to go out to find you, because the place of recruitment has been removed, so I don't know where to go for a while, and finally walked to Noxus Castle in a daze, and when I saw that Guanghui and Carter were fighting, I wanted to help her, and by the way, I could find you through her. No, see you again. ”
"Alas...... Okay, it's okay. The musketeer man sighed, touched Zhou Wei with his elbow, and looked at Katarina, "You don't interrogate her?" ”
Zhou Wei walked straight to Katarina, his eyes staring straight at him, "Say, what is the purpose of what you are doing this!" The other party gave him a blank look, "Cut, if you want to kill or chop your convenience, I don't know anything!" "Yo? I think you were a hero who was trained to the full level by me, and basically killed five times every time you played, but now you talk to your summoner like this?
"I'm a summoner, I'm here to help you return to League of Legends, explain it early, so you don't have to suffer so much, understand?" Zhou Wei put his face close to Caterina and looked at her defiantly. "Hmph, so what, I will never say! Just let your Zhao Xin die! "You!" The prince got up angrily and picked up the gun beside him to stab Katarina.
"Hey, don't!" Zhou Wei flashed in front of Carter, then walked around to her, took out a jade block from her waist, and held it up in front of Caterina's eyes.
"Since you don't know anything, what is this?" Zhou Wei held the seal of the head of Debang in one hand, and pressed the recorder with the other hand, and the whole process of Caterina's personal explanation came out of it. Caterina looked at these two things, glaring at Zhou Wei angrily, her eyes were blood-red, and her eyes were full of killing intent, as if she wanted to eat him.
"Okay," Zhou Wei put away the recorder, handed it to the prince, and handed the seal of the governor of Debang to Galen, "You go and report the situation to Jiawen III first, and if you ask about the evidence, press the play button." "Understood, thank you for your hard work, Zhou Wei." "It's okay, without further ado, let's go and see how Zhao Xin is doing now." "Hmm."
The prince grabbed Carter by the elbow and led him out of the door with Lux. On the other side, Zhou Wei instructed Graves to take care of Oriana and follow Galen to the prison.
……
Demacia Prison Zhao Xin Prison Cell......
"Alas...... It seems that I am more than lucky this time. ”
The crime personally convicted by Jiawen III, coupled with the fact that the surrender speech had the seal of the governor personally given by him, in Zhao Xin's own opinion, this crime is afraid that it will be difficult to clear away.
"Don't give me here! I'm sure General Galen and that summoner will find a way to get you out. Besides, don't be depressed all day long, it's not good for your health, hurry! Grab a bite to eat! Sivana, who was across the cell door, looked at Zhao Xin worriedly, her hands constantly hammering each other, and she seemed to be concerned about the actions of Galen and his party outside.
Zhao Xin looked at the wine and food in front of him, and a hint of apology flashed in his eyes, "Zhou Wei, Your Excellency the Summoner, I'm really bothering you......"
At the main entrance of the prison, a giant with an almost white body and a whole body made of stone is guarding the prison, with a strong appearance and a feeling of "pulling out the mountains and covering the world". But at this time, this big man is still sleeping soundly.
Of course, this iconic feature must be our colossus of justice, Galio.
"Oops, don't sleep!" Galen thumped his arm a few times, and Galio looked at Galen with sleepy eyes.
"Yo, Galen, you're here again, this time it's time to bail General Zhao Xin, I've always seen you go in alone and come out alone, and I haven't seen any progress at all. But then again, I've never had a good feeling in my heart, how could General Zhao Xin do such a thing. Galio looked eagerly at Galen.
"Uh...... You tell me the truth, do you squat here every day, just looking forward to the day when the order of Gawain III will be exonerated and you will be the first to release him? "Hey," Galio touched the back of his head, "Ugh! You must be the summoner mentioned by General Zhao Xin, what's your name, Zhou ...... Zhou ......" "Zhou Wei ......" Zhou Wei looked at him disdainfully, the purpose of this change of topic is too obvious.
"Oh yes, yes, Zhou Wei, haha, you must have thought of a way to save General Zhao Xin, right?" "Alright, you wait here for our news, and we'll be out in a moment." "Understood!"
Zhou Wei and Galen entered the prison together and walked to the place where Zhao Xin was being held.
"How's it going, what's his mental state for the past two days?" Galen asked the dragon girl leading the way from time to time as he walked. "It's not bad, don't worry, I remember everything you explained, but I just don't want to eat, you can be better."
Shivana brought the two to Zhao Xin. I saw that Zhao Xin's hair was messy, his face was full of ash, he was wearing prison clothes, staring at the wall, his eyes were blank, and he didn't look like the once majestic governor of Debang on the battlefield.
"Zhao Xin, who are coming?" Zhao Xin slowly turned his head and saw Zhou Wei and Galen, his eyes widened, the corners of his mouth immediately rose, he quickly got up as if he had seen a relative, and ran to the two of them happily. "Zhou Wei! Gallian! You're finally here! What do you think? Did you find out? Galen held up the seal of the governor of Debang and handed it to Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin took the lost and recovered general seal, and put it in the palm of his hand to look at it carefully, as if he had obtained a heirloom treasure.
"Yes, yes! Here's my seal, thank you so much! Fast! Tell me, who is so bold as to steal my master's seal? Seeing that neither of them reacted, Zhao Xin turned to think about it, as if he suddenly realized something, "Could it be ......" "That's right, it was that celebration banquet, you were attacked by a masked man, and after you fell unconscious, that person took advantage of the chaos to steal the seal from your waist, and then forged a surrender application, stamped the stolen seal, and then passed it to Jiawen III, so that Jiawen III mistakenly thought that you wanted to surrender to Noxus and put you in prison." You know, disturbing the morale of the army is a capital offense. By the time you are tried and executed, Demacia will naturally have one less important general. In this way, they achieved their goal of killing people with a knife. Zhou Wei told Zhao Xin everything that had happened.
"Damn, did it really the sinister and cunning people of Noxus? Tell me! Who was that masked man that night! I'm going to kill him! Shivana's eyes turned red with rage, her pupils began to taper, and her voice grew thicker. She shook Zhou Wei's shoulders with both hands and looked at him eagerly.
"Hey, hey~ You are calm and calm, that person has been caught by Lux, and now the prince is reporting the situation to Jiawen III, and His Royal Highness will have his own decision at that time." Zhou Wei wanted to keep her calm down, who would have thought that she would be able to do anything out of the ordinary after this.
If the dragon girl were to the point of rage and transform into a dragon, her own consciousness would be out of control, and she would most likely kill Katarina. At that time, not only will the mission of the game world not be completed, but the contradictions between Demacia and Noxus will escalate further. So, it's better to keep it low-key.
At this moment, Galio's voice sounded again at the door of the cell.
"Well, how's it going? Did Jiawen III order the release of General Zhao Xin? "Tsk, you've asked dozens of times, we're dealing with this matter, and you'll know when the results come out." "Oh, you must deal with that person severely!" "Of course, I know who my father is."
Immediately after a sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, the prince walked quickly to Zhao Xin's prison with a smile on his face that could not be concealed.
"How is it, what does Your Highness say?" Everyone looked eagerly at the prince. I saw him proudly hold up the key and shake it in front of several people, "As everyone wishes, my father ordered a pardon and immediate release of General Zhao Xin!" "Hahaha, that's great! Oh roar~" Galen couldn't hide his excitement again, turned around and hugged Zhou Wei again.
"Oops! Put me down! "Zhou Wei had a pain in the egg, this guy didn't hold enough.
Shivana walked up to the prince, "What did the masked man say?" "Oh, my father also said that the masked man Caterina was sentenced to death and was going to be executed tomorrow."
"What?" Several people were surprised in unison, but the surprise was different. Zhao Xin, Sivana, and the others are surprised to learn that the masked man is Katarina; But Zhou Wei was different, he was shocked that Caterina was sentenced so quickly, or a capital crime, and the execution day was tomorrow, and he felt that the pressure came to his side in an instant. On the one hand, if Caterina were executed on the orders of Gallvin III, the alliance would always be short of a hero. The purpose of his trip is to save the game world, and the premise is that all heroes return, and no one is missing, so he must do everything possible not to let Caterina die; On the other hand, if he reports to His Highness that he should not execute Caterina, Gavin III will begin to suspect that he is in league with Caterina and is a spy sent by Noxus, which will lead to him being imprisoned together, not to mention saving the game world, and his own life may be guaranteed.
Alas...... It's hard to take care of both sides!
"Hmph, I knew it was her!" Shivana slammed her fist into the iron railing, causing the railing to shake violently. "But fortunately, the people have been caught by us, as long as it is executed tomorrow, we can shake the morale of most of the people in Noxus, and defeating them is just around the corner!." Galen rubbed his cheeks and analyzed.
Zhou Wei, who was on the side, heard this passage and chuckled in his heart. Good guys, you seem to have forgotten the days when you fought side by side in League of Legends, is there really such a strong hatred between these two cities...... You have to put the other party to death......
"Okay, General Zhao, don't be bored here, come out for a walk, move your body, I've wronged you these days." As he spoke, the prince used the key to unlock the iron fence and enter the prison, pulling Zhao Xin out.
Zhao Xin was carried by the prince and walked out of the prison door slowly. When he walked in front of everyone, he stopped and nodded slightly to everyone, "Thank you for helping me clear up my grievances and causing trouble to everyone." "Oh, that's what we should do, and tomorrow, Your Highness will execute Katarina, so that your revenge will be avenged." "That's it, go back and wash well, put on your general's uniform, and then change into your general's uniform. It doesn't look like you anymore. "A few people, you and I responded one by one.
Surrounded by the prince, Galen, and Sivana, Zhao Xin was slowly carried out of the prison and walked towards the palace.
At this time, only Zhou Wei was left standing in front of the open iron door, looking at the pot of wine on the table, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking of the best of both worlds.
"Zhou Wei? Summoner! Galio outside saw that Zhou Wei was delayed in leaving, so he shouted to him a few times, "The matter is settled, go back and rest quickly, tomorrow I will see that Caterina who framed General Zhao Xin is beheaded, hahaha, it's fun to think about it!" "I don't know how long this big guy has been looking forward to this day, celebrating at the door.
"Hey! How? Still not leaving? If you don't leave, I won't accompany you. "Oh-oh-oh, here it is." Zhou Wei threw a casual sentence and slowly walked towards the door, but his brain never stopped thinking. In this way, two people, one tall and one short, went to the direction of the palace together.
The next day, above the main hall......
Jiawen III sat on the imperial chair above the center of the main hall, staring intently at Caterina who was kneeling on the ground below, and on either side stood Zhao Xin Galen and his party.
At this time, Caterina still didn't seem to give in, her eyes still maintained a chilling killing intent, and with this look, she looked at the supreme ruler of Demacia.
"It's all come to this, you still don't give in, you're very bold, huh?" Garvin III pointed at Caterina and said. "Hmph, if it weren't for your glorious play yin, you have mana and still look for helpers, I don't know who is kneeling and talking." "You!" Galen was about to draw his sword when he was stopped by Zhao Xin.
Gavin III angrily pounded the handle of the chair, "It's still so rampant! Come on, it's too late to admit the facts! "I don't know anything!" "Hmph, see if you know now!" He reached for his voice recorder and flipped the switch.
It is said that the voice recorder was taught by the prince to him step by step last night, otherwise he still doesn't know what it is.
Caterina's own voice came from the recorder, and she told her all that she had done. The more Caterina listened, the harder her teeth tickled, and her eyes were bloodshot. Perhaps in her rage, Caterina tried to break free of the ropes and kill everyone in the hall like a trapped beast. But she didn't do it, and just as she was about to get up, the two soldiers next to her pressed her down again.
"Gavin ......," Caterina gritted her teeth, "I advise you to let me go quickly!" Otherwise, our mighty Noxian army will crush Demacia in minutes! "Heh, she is worthy of being the daughter of General Durkao, and her character is fierce." "Hmph, if you want to kill, you have to hurry up!" "Okay, have a backbone, come on! Throw to the guillotine! As soon as she finished speaking, the two soldiers beside her grabbed Carter by the collar and picked her up, dragging her and dragging her out.
"Wait!" Zhou Wei suddenly stood up from the team next to him, attracting the surprised eyes of several people around him.
He walked to the center of the hall and bowed his hand to King Gavin III.
"Your Highness, please listen to me for the time being, there is a better way to do it."
