Chapter 16: The Wrath of the Man in the Urn
Ye Fan always felt that something was wrong, in fact, what he wanted to know more was the girl who could teleport magic, was she also one of the eight villains? But these people didn't react very much to her.
Luckily, Braque voiced the same doubts: "Do you know about the wizard girl who uses teleportation magic?" ”
"Wizard girl?" They began to discuss again: "Have you never heard of such a person before, who is also a member of the Eight Evils?" ”
"Can you use ancient teleportation magic? That's quite a mana drain, and it's not easy for such a person, right?! ”
"Is it one of the eight villains who has not yet been discovered?"
Judging by their reactions, eighty percent of them don't understand the girl. It could be seen that even if they did, the information they had was still far from comprehensive, so Braque and the others didn't ask anything more.
The Count's eldest son, Menzzek Lebony, asked, "Do you guys mention some of the people who possess the Dragonbreaker Armor?" ”
After receiving Brak's affirmation, Menzzek fell into deep thought: "So, does the Fabre Empire have anything to do with this attack?" ”
"Not necessarily, it could be someone else." His younger brother Patrick said, "Those small countries that have benefited from Fabre now have such a terrible thing as dragon armor. What Yunjing Kingdom, this projectile land is strange at first glance. Maybe they're the ones who did it. ”
"No matter what, when it comes to weapons of war of this level, we can't just leave this matter alone."
General: "This matter will definitely be reported to the national government, and we will definitely investigate it carefully." ”
After a long discussion, it seems that no useful information has been obtained. But intelligence work is like that a lot of times. At first, it was impossible to start.
"Thank you for your hard work, please have a good rest in the arranged accommodation these days, and our investigation team in Lorraine is also on the way." The young officer said.
It took a long time for the people of the Jingting Division to realize that this was said to them.
Braque: "Excuse me? Did we have some misunderstanding? ”
Young officer: "What's wrong?" ”
Braque: "You mentioned that you have given us a place to stay these days?" What's going on? ”
"Thank you for fighting so hard for the soul of Wang Ma, my gratitude is indescribable, and I can only entertain you by action. After such a tiring night, everyone must need to take a good rest. We have arranged a place for the soldiers to live, right in the luxurious VIP area in the north of the province. Two days later, the mansion will also hold a dinner party to celebrate the return of Wang Ma, and there will be a special program to celebrate your achievements~~" The other party said happily, completely unaware of the strangeness on their faces: "In addition, in the next few days, the investigator we arranged will review and record the confession with you one by one, and make detailed adjustments to the case of last night's battle." ”
Braque only felt his brain freeze for a while, and it was the chatter of his companions that pulled him back.
"Are you saying we're going to stay here for a few days and be subject to your censorship?" Braque: "I'm sorry, but what else are we going to under?" ”
"It's about the review of last night's case, we need to make more detailed investigation records."
Braque: "But we've just discussed what happened. ”
"Oh, just now we can only count on a preliminary understanding, what we need to do next is to make detailed adjustments. When the time comes, record all the details in detail to avoid mistakes in intelligence due to the initial impression of the incident. ”
Errors in intelligence? Initial impressions?
What's going on? Fang has just said so much, in the eyes of these people, is it just their initial impression of the incident?
Braque didn't think it was that simple. Is this not the meaning of not fully trusting them?
He was still a little skeptical that the other party had made a mistake. They helped people deliver their things, and they could have left for China now in the normal direction, but there was still such a thing like detention and torture waiting for them?
"We can provide some evidence from the scene, videos as offerings, if you need them." Braque: "We can call up the video from the bead right away." However, our actual assignment is only for the completion of this escort, and the mission description does not appear to include this part of the post-mortem review. ”
The young officer seemed to be stumped, and his face flushed to his neck: "I'm sorry, I was abrupt and made a request to you without explaining it clearly." In fact, the review work is only an urgent item, and it is indeed not included in the task, but it still belongs to the scope of cooperation between the two parties. We have been asking your country to help us in our work, and your authorities have agreed to cooperate with us fully. However, I was unable to create and transform the will of our superiors and our cooperation with each other in a timely manner, which is the problem of the following. ”
"What if we don't cooperate with the review?" Braque asked tentatively.
"Don't......" the officer's face turned even redder, "I'm sorry to all of you, and I beg your forgiveness." However, this review is just a process of post-event recording, and it will not have any negative impact on everyone, so you can rest assured...... Please believe me. ”
But what can you represent? It's not up to you to decide what happens here...... Thinking about these things, Braque glanced at the two men of the highest position in the city, Count Lyburney and General Buterin, but they just stayed there as if the matter had nothing to do with them.
He said it lightly, but in essence, it was no different from being imprisoned and tortured, but to a lesser extent. And what guarantee does he give that there will be no negative consequences? Temporarily working overtime to chat with these foreigners will not only affect their subsequent work arrangements, but may also be suspected of treason by the National Transport Department, so things are not so simple. After the review is not done well, all kinds of bad things will be added, and then there may be all kinds of troubles.
I'm dizzy when I think about it.
No, you can't say yes.
"I'm sorry, but the vetting you mentioned is actually a process that we have to go through when we get back home," Braque said. But the executive has to be the commissioner of our National Transport Department, and it is probably not very appropriate to accept the investigation work of your country directly like this. Besides, after all, we are outsiders, and matters other than national tasks also involve diplomatic issues, right? Sorry, we have to go through the normal process, and we have to try to see if we can dismiss the review this time. ”
I'm messed up when it's over...... The young officer's eyes were circled, his little head was hot, and he almost fainted, but he was still trying his best to fight:
"It's true that our commission didn't include a review in the first place. However, due to the fact that the situation has risen somewhat and national security is involved, the item of review has been temporarily added. We can ask our superiors for advice on diplomatic issues, and it is not too much of a problem...... I'm sorry, and we don't want to be so offended and waste your precious time, but we're rushing this order out of safety concerns. Although the task is accomplished, in reality the dangers we face are not over. We both want to figure out who's doing this. I think this is also a responsible approach for both parties, the lord of the castle, and your organization. ”
Wow, it's annoying. Now they don't even have the initiative to refuse? So what are they now? Became a prisoner of the Duchy of Lorraine? Although the young officers did not mean to embarrass them, it was now in their eyes.
Blaq suddenly realized that they had not gained the trust of these people at all. When I looked at the eyes of those people again, the original respect seemed to have changed, and they all seemed to have some ill-intentioned doubts.
Because they are outsiders. They have different identities, different backgrounds. Yes, even countries are different.
There are even some antagonisms.
They did everything they could to get what they wanted, even at great sacrifices...... And now you are still being treated with such impoliteness? Either way, they weren't in the mood.
But this is the home of the people, and although they have a complete choice in whether to stay or not, if these people want to forcibly control them here......
It could be seen that their companions had similar concerns, and Luo Ding and Pera looked calm, but they were actually ready for battle.
"It's just a matter of being honest about your experiences...... There won't be too many problems, and we can guarantee that" The young officer's voice was a little hesitant, and his little face was red.
Braque: "If you want a detailed account of what happened, you can ask our Department of National Transport for a detailed report." Direct interrogation like this is not advisable, and I hope you will respect some of the rules and regulations that we cannot violate as field personnel. ”
The young officer wanted to say something, but this time General Buterin preemptively preempted him and said, "You can completely disapprove of this review, it's all right." ”
Buterin continued, his voice calm, "But the truth is that what you are now burdened with is not only the urgent consideration of choosing whether or not to cooperate with the investigation, but also the potential suspicion of violating the laws of our country and the Empire. ”
His tone was flat, but he said something that made the hearts of everyone in the audience tremble.
Braque frowned: "General Buterin, what does this mean by breaking the law?" ”
"The Sydroff River Green Forest Protection Act—" Buterin said, in fact, when he said this, Brak and the others felt a chill in their hearts. Buterin continues: "The law promulgated by our country and the empire many years ago prohibits the protected area of the Sedrov Green Forest Reserve from illegal development, destruction and other events that cause ecological crisis. Those who have committed the above must be punished by our country and the empire in accordance with the law. ”
"And the catastrophic war you experienced that night has already caused second-degree damage to the green forest," he quickly glanced at the people of Jingting Division, "This has also constituted a suspicion of destroying the protected area." What's more, there is also the suspicion of illegal invasion of our country as a foreign force. According to the normal procedure, we can take you into custody for observation first, and then further determine whether you are responsible. ”
An aura of rage, hovering above the hall.
The atmosphere was suddenly different. Because what is now in front of us is not just a question of where to stay, but the human rights of all of them are threatened.
Is this a threat to us?
If you don't accept the scrutiny, you will come to make this show for us? It's shameless, isn't it?
If you can't get what you want, you just condemn us? Is there a brain disease?
It's also an illegal invasion, this hat is too outrageous!
Kill him......
If there were mind readers on the scene, then his mind would definitely be filled with these thoughts of Jing Tingji. In fact, even if you don't need to read minds, you can feel the heavy murderous aura they emitted at the scene. It felt like a lead ball in my lungs......
The young officer was already frightened to the point of half-dazedness, and General Buterin turned a blind eye.
Count Ilner: "Buterin! Be careful what you say! These children have just experienced a life-and-death battle. Look at how many people they sacrificed to give such a thing! Those dead children are not even half your age. Are you embarrassed to do such a villainous thing?!! ”
Buterin: "Mr. Count Ilner, everything we do is completely businesslike. While I am grateful for your efforts, I also deeply regret your sacrifice. But there is a suspicion, and we, the Lorraine Army, as the shield of the state, must not let it go. ”
Braque: "General Buterin, we are still diplomatic partners in nature, and we have immunity to a certain extent. You can't take us into custody directly. ”
Buterin: "The Act on the Protection of the Sedrov River is an act enacted by the Empire, and both your country and our country are vassals of the Empire, and diplomatic immunity is not in force in cases of violation of imperial law in the territory of the dependent countries. ”
"The damage to the reserve was not caused by us, but by the Eight Evildoers. The only thing we do is to protect the treasure from the Lord, to make sure it reaches the Count, and that's it. ”
"Do you have any evidence to prove your innocence?" Buterin: "If you have evidence to back it up, why are you hesitating to accept the scrutiny?" What are your comments on the conduct of our review? ”
Braque: "......"
Unconsciously I was wound back by this old slippery head.
The implication is clear. There is really only one way in front of them: accept and stay.
Otherwise, they will face charges that will be difficult to get rid of.
What a naked threat......
In the face of such a threat, the faint light on Pera's orb can represent everyone's attitude, that is, the gesture of drawing the sword from it.
For a moment, the murderous aura hovered over the hall, making everyone present break into a cold sweat.
In fact, at the beginning of this controversy, Ye Fan still felt that it was completely impossible to do something here, but now looking at the angry demeanor of his teammates, he realized that this was extremely likely......
Although he himself was angry, it was his teammates who died in the second team...... But now that this is the home of the Duchy of Lorraine, they are likely to be at a disadvantage if they do it here, which is definitely not a wise move.
Once they do, they may never be able to return to their home countries.
He looked at the Count of Leburne, who was sitting in the middle, and wished he could come out at this moment to do any mediation, but the old man ...... He just stared at the hairpin intently, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
Ye Fan realized that the gentleness and kindness he had just seen in him was actually a kind of desirelessness and desirelessness...... Even to the extreme attitude of indifference.
"I hope you'll think about those words." Buterin: "As I said, we could have forcibly imprisoned you as soon as you set foot in the city, according to normal procedures. But we didn't do that. Major Sabstir has proposed, in a very moderate manner, the idea of replacing the political and legal procedures with ordinary examination procedures. Please trust us that national security is not alarmist. We are now in an era of rampant internal and external troubles, and the eight evildoers have made us unbearable. Please respect our national conditions and our judgment and make the most correct choice. ”
Ilner: "Buterin, you've been so good at your calculations. How is this different from a robbery who puts a knife on his neck and makes a plea to him? ”
Braque gritted his teeth, and finally relented: "We will cooperate." ”
He took a deep breath and sighed: "The review work can be carried out immediately after we and our superiors have reported this matter." We will actively cooperate with your work. ”
There was no way, he didn't want to magnify the matter, so he could only agree. In this case, no matter how much blood pressure soars, as the captain, he must be rational.
At that moment, a trace of fluctuation appeared on Buterin's expressionless face, which was captured by Ye Fan. But it wasn't a happy or relieved look, Ye Fan pondered for a while, and didn't think clearly what it was.
"In that case," Buterin said, "I'll leave this matter to you, Major Sabstir." ”
The young officer had a saved look on his face: "Okay...... Thank you for agreeing to our request despite such a hard work. You don't need to be in a hurry. The investigation team is still on the way...... Please recuperate in the house these days, we will not treat you badly! ”
The young officer thanked him repeatedly, with a very humble gesture. However, General Buterin on the side did not bother to speak after Fang Cai's brief words, nor did he show any words of gratitude.
From beginning to end, he was the one who was on top.
Ye Fan suddenly understood what the change on his face was...... That is, the expression of disappointment caused by the fact that things did not go as I expected.
What's going on? The man did not show joy when he heard that Bra was soft. Instead disappointed and frustrated?
……
In that case, he actually wants Braque to maintain his tough attitude until the end...... Are the two sides moving??
Could it be that in the end, the two sides fought, and even the people of Jingting Division were put in prison, and even caused discord between the high-level leaders of the two sides...... Is this what the general wants to see?
…… It's a little scary.
I don't know why he always feels that rising to certain fields, is this the epitome of some kind of relationship? Although Sramie and Lorraine were both relatives of the Empire, they could not be described as harmonious.
Things have developed to this point, and everyone in Jingting Division is unwilling.
According to the next trend, they will probably have to stay for a few days, or no matter how many days, until the investigation results determine that there is no problem.
Menzzek Lebney also came to the rescue with a cold sweat on his face: "All the warriors have a good rest in the mansion, and the mansion will hold a banquet in two days to celebrate the return of the king horse after many years." This hard-won joy was the result of your great sacrifices, and I sincerely hope that you will come to our banquet so that you can see the spirited faces of your heroes. ”
The meeting in the hall was over, and hurried footsteps rang out in the hall. They walked out of the door with a calm face and without saying a word.
The young officer walked out with them, and said to them innocently: "Everyone, please follow along, in addition, your name is Chang'an Sabstier, you can just call me Chang'an~"
But few people paid attention to him.
