"What do you think we're going to do?" Simon the Warlock looked at Edkin who was locked up in a cell and wanted Edkin to tell everyone that he had come up with a plan to escape.

"According to Winterfell's laws, there is a high probability that it will be a few years of intensive labor." Edkin's investigation was very comprehensive, not only gathering information about the general situation of Winterfell and the target of the theft, but also checking the legal provisions of Winterfell by the way.

As the commander of the team and the maker of the plan, he has to think not only about how to make the plan to achieve the goal, but also what kind of risk everyone will take if it fails.

Because they were only stealing, not hurting or killing, and not causing any great damage to Winterfell, the crime was not serious, and it was completely within the limits of what they could bear.

The only thing that bothered Edkin was that his daughter Kira was also arrested this time.

Usually his daughter Kira will follow the team to act, but she will use magic items to hide her body and hide in the shadows waiting for evacuation.

In this way, even if something happens, his daughter will be fine.

Unexpectedly, here in Winterfell, it was easy to crack the stealth props on Kira's body and arrest them all.

What reassures him a little is that Kira and Holgay are together, and Holgay, who is equivalent to Kira's mother, can definitely take care of that girl.

After pondering for a moment, Edkin began to think about how to escape.

Although he did not commit any felony and would not be sentenced to death by beheading or hanging, Edkin was not prepared to serve his sentence in Winterfell.

Next, he had to take a closer look, looking for an opportunity to escape - his ability to shuttle was limited, I don't know if it was because of the cell or something else?

Just as Edkin ignored Simon's complaints and Fox's inquiries and was seriously thinking about his next move, the two of them were suddenly led out of their detention cell by the police in Winterfell.

Although he still wears handcuffs on his hands, there are no restraints on his feet, and the seemingly small handcuffs are not intimidating.

Both Fox and Simon winked at Edkin, but Edkin shook his head decisively and told them not to act rashly.

At the same time, he talked to the policeman in front of him, but the policeman didn't pay attention to them at all, but just led them out of the male prison area and handed them over to an acquaintance of his own.

"Shirley."

“……”

Shirley looked at Edkin speechlessly, she had already seen that Edkin seemed to have some plan, but she didn't expect it to be stealing: while everyone in Winterfell was paying attention to the new king, she ran to the house of several nobles to commit theft.

If Edgin hadn't been on the intelligence community's watchlist for a long time, maybe they would have succeeded—and Shirley had only recently learned that the intelligence service had been eyeing the strange bard.

"Edkin."

Looking at Shirley's expression, Edkin knew that this new 'friend' he had met not long ago was angry with him.

He had nothing to argue with, he did take advantage of the other party's kindness and Sansa's kindness to him.

"I'm sorry......"

"Save that to Sansa!"

What Shirley is really angry about is that Edkin deceived an innocent and kind little girl like Sansa, which is a very big blow to a young child, and it can even affect it for a lifetime.

Edkin didn't say anything more, but turned his head to look at Holgay and Kira, who had followed Shirley out, and if it weren't for the fact that both father and daughter were now handcuffed, they would definitely hug happily.

Continuing to follow Shirley, Edkin asked in a low voice about his daughter's condition, and Kira said that everything was fine, the cell here was clean and tidy, and there was no smell, and the three meals a day were good in both taste and size.

Even when Holgay felt that he was not full, he could ask for an extra one.

Edkin was relieved to hear this, Winterfell even the prisoners in the cells were treated so well, it was like a city that only existed in dreams.

But now, where are you going to take them?

"Where are we going now?" Simon looked left and right, curiously asking the question Edkin was pondering.

He felt that if anyone knew the answer, it would only be Edkin, because he was the only one who knew enough about the city.

"Maybe a transfer to a real prison."

They were in a detention cell at the Winterfell Police Department, which was a temporary detention facility, not a real prison, and it was normal to transfer them to a real prison.

That's why Edkin didn't pay much attention to the situation in this place: they would definitely have to be transferred to a real prison before they could make an escape plan according to the situation.

The location of Winterfell Prison is said to be deep in the Winter Forest to the north, but nothing else is known.

After walking for a moment, Edkin found that they had not been taken out of the police station, but had been taken from the underground detention cell to a reception room on the second floor.

When Edkin saw a young man in front of him, he smiled and said to himself, "It's late, but it's ...... Welcome to Winterfell! "He knew it was going to be in trouble.

"Xie ~ Te!"

The partners beside him turned their eyes to Edkin almost immediately, they were all curious about the identity of the young man in front of them, and judging from Edkin's reaction, the appearance of this young man was not a good thing for them?

"Edkin, who is this man?"

"King of the Winter Kingdom."

In Edkin's plan, every effort was made to avoid meeting this His Majesty the King, so no one except Edkin himself knew what the legendary His Majesty David Glamorgan looked like.

"Wow~ I now believe what you said earlier."

Edkin once complained that David Glamorgan became king by relying on women, but everyone just listened to it as a joke, until he saw him at this time, and a few people who didn't believe it suddenly felt that Edkin's words might not be a complaint, but a fact.

Only Simon didn't say anything, he was as serious as Edkin, because he felt a very terrifying power from His Majesty the King opposite, that kind of hidden coercion, which made him suspect that he was not facing a human being, but a god!

"Ahem, Your Majesty the King." Edkin coughed twice to remind his partner that he should be cowardly when it was time to coax, and was the first to salute David.

David nodded, and motioned for Shirley to uncuff the men.

Seeing that the handcuffs on his hands were opened, and Shirley walked out of the living room and closed the door, Edkin suddenly felt that the situation didn't seem so bad?

Is there anything for your Majesty to do?

"Don't think too much about it, I'm just interested in a few thieves from the other world."

In fact, David really wanted these people to do things for him, the situation in the Faeron continent was too complicated, or the entire Torel world was too complicated, and he didn't have that much free time to explore such a complex world at the moment.

In comparison, Edkin, a native of the continent of Faeron, can play a greater role.

Raise your hand to signal a few people to sit down and talk, and you can also enjoy the fruits, pastries, and juices as you like.

"There are many people from the Otherworld, but you are still the first batch of visitors from the Otherworlds who have committed thefts in Winterfell."

From this point of view, with the improvement of David's strength and the development of Winterfell, the newcomers who will come to Winterfell in the future will become more and more diverse.

Considering that this ability will be affected by one's own thoughts, then some villains that are unacceptable to oneself, or characters with serious discord with three views, will still not appear.

At most, it is a criminal like Edkin in front of him who has a sufficient bottom line.

"I can explain." Edkin sensed a lot of things from David's attitude: the other party was not particularly disgusted with him, and the other party definitely wanted him to do something.

Whatever the facts, this situation means that there is a basis for negotiations, and perhaps he can use his eloquence to make the other side 'understand' his plight and forgive his crimes.

"I'm listening!"

David poured himself a glass of juice, and he guessed that Edkin wanted to gain sympathy through what had happened to him over the years.

Although he knew what the other party would do, he still wanted to feel the strength of the 'bard' for himself.

Sure enough, Edgin Dalvis's lip service is very good, telling a story that is not bizarre or touching very vividly, and Davy can't help but eat a lot of broad beans when he listens.

When Edkin finished talking about his experience, David put down the cup in his hand: "Emotionally, I can understand your choice......"

Edkin smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that his speech had worked.

"But that still doesn't change the fact that you've committed theft."

The smile on Edkin's face froze, it seems that the other party is not ready to let go of himself easily, it is estimated that the next step is to put forward conditions, right?

"Now you have two choices." David held out two fingers, drawing the attention of everyone present: "According to the laws of Winterfell, you will be sentenced to one to three years in prison. ”

Edkin was sentenced to three years in prison as the first offender, and one year as accomplices to the others.

"What else?"

"As a team of hires in Winterfell, help me gather things in your world." David doesn't have to limit what it is, anything Edkin thinks is valuable can be sent to Winterfell, and Winterfall will estimate a value for the item based on the specific situation.

Edkin's team can choose to receive a portion of the estimated money to cover living expenses and outings, and the rest to offset Edkin's crimes; You can take them all, or you can take them all, so the mission won't relieve them of their crimes.

However, if Edkin and the others find items of great value that directly exceed the value of the property they stolen, then a single mission can undo all the crimes.

"Sounds good!"
