5. Rose Gaze Chapter 209 An Unexpected Witness
"You'd better not talk like you're talking like you're talking about the aftermath." Although it solved a doubt, Lydia was not happy, "I won't know the outcome until the trial is over." ”
Hei Ningxue sat down at the head of the bed noncommittally, "Then I hope the trial will come soon." ”
"As you wish, we also recently found a witness." An imperceptible smile flashed across Lydia's face, "This person accuses you of abusing her, and I'm going to bring her to confront you today." ”
"There is such a coincidence." Hei Ningxue climbed on the edge of the bed and sat down, "That's really Her Royal Highness Princess Lao......"
The door to the cell creaked open, and a girl peeked in.
Hei Ningxue's expression instantly stiffened.
She even rubbed her eyes and looked carefully at the man who had just gotten into the cell.
"You ......" her expression changed from stunned, to surprised, to dazed, and her throat seemed to be blocked by something, unable to speak.
The girl was draped in a gray veil of believers, and she stood in front of the black snow. It was only at this time that Hei Ningxue's mouth barely squeezed out a few words: "Lina? ”
"It's her!" Lena suddenly pointed at Hei Ningxue and cried bitterly, "Your Royal Highness Princess, I was originally a maid in the Ice Wolf Castle, and she beat me half to death with a steel whip and threw me on the ice field!" ”
As she spoke, Lena hugged Lydia's leg and began to cry.
Hei Ningxue finally saw that Lena was still alive, but she didn't expect to usher in an accusation. Before she could speak, a feather fan was thrown in front of her.
She subconsciously caught the fan, only to find that Lena had already pulled out the dagger and pressed it against Lydia's throat: "Don't speak, or I'll kill you right now." ”
The plot changed too quickly, and she was as smart as Hei Ningxue and didn't keep up with the rhythm all of a sudden, "Lina ...... What are you doing? ”
Lena's face was full of tears, but she was full of joy that the plan had been successful, "Master, we will use her as a hostage." With your soul arts, none of them are your opponents. ”
"Oh." Hei Ningxue responded to her calmly, "Such a rough plan is indeed in line with your stupid girl's character." ”
Seeing that Hei Ningxue didn't seem to have the intention of making a move, Lena was a little anxious: "Master, you use soul magic quickly, you will definitely be able to go out." ”
"Lena, I'm a demon." Hei Ningxue swept the feather fan in her hand, "My blood is full of soul energy, even if I don't have this fan, I can use soul magic." ”
As if to prove his words, a little bean-sized flame erupted from Hei Ningxue's fingertips, and gently blew it out again.
Lena was surprised and asked, "Then why hasn't the master run away?" ”
"Where to flee?" Hei Ningxue casually threw the feather fan in front of Lena, "You are one of the few people who knows about the 'Full Moon Project', you should know what I'm for." ”
Lena said eagerly, "No matter what it is for, the survival of the master is the most important thing." ”
Hei Ningxue shook her head, "What's the use of me living?" We worked hard to get them out of Demon Island, found a place in Ice Wolf Castle with a marriage, and managed to contact the 'Full Moon Sect', all for an opportunity......"
Lena bit her lip, "You mean that legendary ritual?" Is it really that important? ”
"Fool, the 'Full Moon Ritual' is much more important than you think." Hei Ningxue sighed, "Just imagine, if we can turn the first batch of 'Demon Clansmen' back to 'Traversers' in Ice Wolf Castle, how much of a wave it will cause?" ”
The map of success came to her mind: "Those who have been oppressed on the Demon Island will see hope again, the time-travelers will once again unite to fight against the Demon Lord and the Demon King, and even we can renegotiate peace with the Six Kingdoms and usher in an era of peace......
However, this was just Hei Ningxue's fantasy, she smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's a pity that I overestimated my ability, sacrificed so many brothers and sisters in vain, and inadvertently committed a lot of crimes, in exchange for an ethereal bubble." ”
"No, you promised me." Lena choked up, "We will use every last drop of demon blood to redeem all the traversers." ”
Tears slipped down Hei Ningxue's face: "I can't save anyone anymore, please let me save one person at the end, but my heart's wish, okay?" ”
Lena nodded heavily.
"Give me the knife." Hei Ningxue slowly approached her and took the dagger. Then he turned to look at Lydia: "Your Highness Princess, I believe in your integrity and justice, please allow me to ask you to promise me one last thing, is it okay?"
Lydia looked at the black snow and asked cautiously, "What's the matter?" ”
Hei Ningxue took Lena's dagger and slowly took two steps back, "Lena is a silly girl, she offended you to save me, it's my fault. Please don't hurt her, okay? ”
Lydia said in a deep voice, "Yes, you can trust me. ”
"Of course I believe you." The corners of Hei Ningxue's mouth hooked up a cruel smile, "Now, let everything be stopped." ”
As she spoke, she raised her dagger and stabbed her heart fiercely!
Black Snow's knife stabbed quickly and hard.
Thoughtful, she took a few steps back before she could do it: she had calculated that there was no way Lydia would take the dagger in front of her.
Lydia subconsciously wanted to pounce, but the dagger instantly sank into her chest.
It's just that......
Why is there no pain?
Hei Ningxue's face changed suddenly, and she picked up the dagger to check, only to see that the blade had been completely retracted into the handle: this was a telescopic knife.
The smart black condensation snow was actually tricked?
She looked at Lena angrily. Lena hurriedly folded her hands and put on an attitude of bowing her head and admitting her mistake and asking for forgiveness.
She pointed at Lydia's nose angrily, "You...... Counting me? ”
Lydia smiled and said: "Don't be such a double standard, you can only calculate others, don't you allow others to calculate you?" ”
It was rare for Hei Ningxue to be put on the table, and at this moment he asked unwillingly: "This is designed by the 'Lord of the Red Pavilion'?" ”
"If you feel embarrassed, you can just call him 'not smiling'." Lydia breathed a sigh of relief, "I can't imagine that you secretly managed to turn the demons back into traversers, just to fight the demons?" ”
"So what?" Hei Ningxue asked rhetorically.
Lydia's tone softened, "I thought you were just a scourge who traded beauty for power, but I didn't expect you to make such a sacrifice. Why don't you say these things? ”
Hei Ningxue said: "This kind of absurd plan, will anyone believe it?" ”
"Believe it or not, you might as well ask them." With that, Lydia slapped her palms twice.
Rumble!
The four walls of the cell collapsed outward at the same time, and the dazzling light was so black that the snow hurriedly covered his eyes.
When she got used to the light outside, she realized that it was actually the center of a huge courtroom, and hundreds of people sat around the auditorium and looked at her in unison.
A circle of sound barriers was drawn on the ground, and as Buxiao dismantled the soul spell on the side, she gradually heard the commotion outside.
"I thought she was just a woman who competed for favor in front of the Ice Wolf King for power."
"I really didn't expect her to make such a big sacrifice in order to fight the demons."
"Although the Ice Wolf King is hateful, this princess is much kinder than Yu Linglai."
Hei Ningxue suddenly looked around, and suddenly found that it was Glista who was standing in front of the defense table and speaking for her.
"I'm sorry master, this is all arranged by the non-smiling adults." Lena whispered aggrievedly beside Hei Ningxue, "He said that if I don't do this, the master will definitely die, I ...... I don't want my master to die like that......"
Hei Ningxue was motionless like a sculpture, and only Grista's defense voice was heard in his ears: "As you have heard, the sacrifice of Shino Fortress was not connived at by Hei Ningxue, and for this crime, please ask the presiding judge to think again." ”
The gavel was knocked on the judgment seat, "This crime really can't be established, so how do you want to defend the crime of framing the 'Princess of Gunfire'?" ”
Glista bowed her head silently, this was a solid fact, and she was powerless to refute it.
"Therefore, there are still two charges left for Hei Ningxue: to facilitate the demons to enter the Ice Wolf Castle, to exploit the common people in the castle, and to frame the ...... of the 'Princess of Gunfire'" The judge suddenly hesitated, and they saw Lydia raise her hand in the audience. Then the judgment seat asked, "Your Highness the Princess, do you have any objections?" ”
Lydia saluted the judgment seat, "Can I, as the victim, have something to say?" ”
The bench deliberated for a moment, deciding to give Lydia a chance to speak.
Lydia organized the language and said aloud, "In a state of peace, such a framing is indeed sinful. But in the war, as the officers and soldiers on the opposite side, they fight to the death. If every killing is punished, then every warrior is guilty of a grave crime. ”
She pointed to Hei Ningxue and said, "In the war, she and I are both pawns, and we don't have much personal will. War is sophistry, and she just did what she had to do. ”
Hei Ningxue never dreamed that Lydia would be excusing herself. She looked at Lydia puzzled, "What are you talking about?" ”
Lydia smirked, "In the dungeon of Ice Wolf Castle, I am bent on death. You didn't let me die, and now I won't let you die. Are you angry? ”
The gavel sounded on the judgment seat: "All witnesses, testimony, and evidence have been presented." The trial ended. ”
Lydia secretly retreated to the side where she didn't smile, and asked in a low voice, "Did you say she was going to die?" ”
Bu smiled and glanced at her, "How do I know?" ”
Lydia glared at him: "The twelve codes of the Red Pavilion were all revised by you one by one, how could you not know. ”
Buxiao decided to divert the topic: "Do you care about the life or death of this enemy?" ”
"Didn't you say that she must have a hidden reason for me to help you play this play?" Lydia poked her unsmiling back, "And I think she's not that hateful now." ”
"Superfluous emotion." Buxiao commented coldly, "This will only affect your judgment." ”
Lydia whispered, "Then can you show some emotion after you're done judging?" ”
That's an interesting idea.
Buxiao pondered for a moment and replied, "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped." ”
