A day later.

When the Emperor first entered the Round Table Hall, the expression on his face was full of confusion.

After all, he did not wait for the visits of the Electors from all walks of life, did not wait for all kinds of transactions, but was directly arraigned.

Entering the round table room, the emperor stood still, and then looked around the room—

When he saw that the positions of Duke Miratheon, Duke of Vulture Valley, and Duke of Mountain Eagle were all empty, his brow furrowed involuntarily. He shifted his gaze to the location of his last ally, the Duke of Rivervalley, and saw the Duke of Rivervalley's daughter sitting there, her expression sad and angry.

The Emperor took a step back, barely standing on his feet when he was supported by Wayne next to him.

As if grasping at a life-saving straw, his withered hands grabbed Wayne Langdon and shouted, "It's a sin! Your brother has committed a sin! He broke with the tradition of the state of Kosania and killed the guests who ate his salt and grain! ”

Bruce spoke: "Nonsense! Before arraignment of you, we have just convicted the Duke of Miratheon, the Duke of Vulture Hollow, and the Duke of Mountain Eagle for treason! They actually plotted to overthrow their country's legitimate hereditary duke, the Elector of Langdon. They've already bowed down! ”

Of course, they didn't just "subjugate", they died last night.

But as long as the minutes of the meeting are written on the record of their prostration, that is, yes, the authority of the Imperial Diet is supreme. As for why the family members and retinue of these dukes died, it was naturally because they resisted arrest and resisted with arms.

How plausible.

Emperor: "Liar! Falsehood! Sir Wayne, would your Light allow such a lie? ”

Wayne touched the emblem with his hand, and the emblem shone brightly.

"It seems that the Lord I serve also dislikes your actions." Wayne said calmly, "After all, my father has always acted within the framework of the laws of the Empire, and he has been planning for a long time in order to legally obtain the imperial crown in the Imperial Diet. This is my Lord's favorite practice, and He is the embodiment of the law. ”

Bruce said: "But there are people who don't want to lose the crown, and after failing to achieve their goals under the legal framework, they choose to take risks." ”

While the younger brother spoke, Wayne looked at the emperor coldly, without the slightest pity. The difference between a paladin and a bad guy is that the paladin does not reject "necessary evil". After all, in addition to being the embodiment of goodness, the holy warrior is also the embodiment of order.

Then, Bruce struck the hammer in front of him: "Silence." Sir Wayne, please bring the defendant into the dock! ”

Wayne dragged the Emperor to the only gap in the round table and put him in the cage where he had temporarily stood.

The Emperor clutched the iron bars with both hands and shouted: "You will not succeed!" Duke of Luan! You're not as loyal to the covenant as you seem, are you? I can give you a higher offer! ”

Duke Luan: "What are you talking about?" All of you here are Electors, and we will adjudicate against you in a fair and just manner. If you are not guilty, we will naturally release you. ”

Emperor: "What innocence! I'm the emperor, and you don't even have respect for me anymore! It's a conspiracy! Ruth, don't you want to avenge your father? ”

Ruth glanced at everyone at the round table, and finally her hateful gaze fell on Bruce, and she gritted her teeth and said, "My father, just found guilty. His title as Duke of Riverdale is now my succession. With the help of my fiancé, I will govern this territory. ”

Bruce laughed, "You're impressing, Ruth. It's just one night, how did you turn this corner? ”

Ruth held her head high proudly and looked at Bruce with contempt: "The people of the valley have always had to get by, but now it is different, the people of the valley will have a new commandment, we will never forget, never." ”

Bruce: "Good, better than I expected. So, let's get started, shall we? ”

Duke Luan nodded and announced in a loud voice: "According to imperial law, as long as two-thirds of the twelve electors are present, the imperial parliament can be convened. Now not counting the Duke of Steyr in the dock, a total of eight electors were present, in accordance with imperial law.

"In addition, Duke Miratheon, Duke Vulture Valley, and Duke Mountain Eagle are still in their own territory, dealing with family affairs, and cannot be present."

The three dukes were cut down with their heirs, and the remaining heirs were at home, probably busy seizing the heirs, but they couldn't be present to deal with family affairs.

The Duke of Luan announced in a loud voice: "Now, the case of the Duke of Steyr's intention to murder the Duke of Langdon's family is on trial!" ”

After that, the Duke of Luan struck the gavel: "The first witness, Sir Wayne Langdon!" ”

Wayne stepped over to the witness stand.

Bruce spoke: "You are a holy warrior of the god of justice and law, can you swear by your god that everything you say here is the truth, without a trace of personal feelings?" ”

Wayne: "I can. In the name of my Lord, I swear that everything I say here is the truth, without any personal feelings. Otherwise, let my Lord withdraw his grace from me. ”

Bruce: "So, I ask you, is it true that the Archmage of the Styria and the Archmage of the Empire intended to use a scroll of the Banshee's Howl on the night of my father's death, when all the heirs of the Landon Lords were present?" ”

Wayne: "That's right. And he himself declared that it was the Banshee's Howl Scroll. ”

The emperor grabbed the railing and shook it vigorously: "Lies! He doesn't have a reel like that at all! That's a nine-ring scroll, how could he have it! ”

Bruce hammered hard: "Silence! ”

Duke Luan: "Prisoner! If you continue to interrupt the pace of court presentations, we will sentence you to contempt of court! Fifty whips according to the law! ”

The emperor's body is boarded, and if he whips 50 leather whips, others will disappear directly. So the old man could only keep his mouth shut and clutch to the iron bar with his withered hands.

Bruce continued, "Sir Wayne." Why did Your Excellency the Imperial Archmage give up tearing the Banshee's Howl? ”

Wayne: "Because he was threatened by the Mage King, and he was afraid that the king's uncle would lead the army to seek revenge." ”

"And what did he do after that?" Bruce continued to ask.

Wayne raised his head: "He attacked us, with his own magic. In the battle we lost 11 knights and 25 servants, and my sister, Princess Elizabeth's teacher, was also seriously wounded. He is a six-ring warlock. I was also hit by a magic missile.

"All the apprentices brought by the archmage of the palace participated in the battle and were all annihilated."

Bruce: "Do you think he did attack with the intent of killing all of us?" ”

"I think so." Wayne held his head high.

Bruce: "Now, then, please show your Light. Prove that you have not been given up by your God. ”

Wayne raised his right hand with his palm upward, and a soft light of the law emerged from his palm like a torch.

Bruce: "You can leave. ”

Duke Luan: "Bring the second witness!" Mage apprentice, King! ”

As Bruce had requested, the king entered the witness stand with the magic glowing wand. So an intense, indiscriminate blue-white light sparkled everyone's eyes.

Bruce: "I beg you to put away your scepter for now. ”

Wang: "Oh, good. ”

He put the scepter back in the dimensional bag, and with a flick of the dimensional bag, the bag disappeared and returned to his pocket.

Duke Luan: "Can you swear that you tell the truth in court?" ”

Wang: "I swear. And I will come up with irrefutable evidence to prove that I am telling the truth. Evidence and logic don't lie. ”

Bruce: "Good. So, can you be sure that the scroll that the Imperial Court Archmage was going to use that night was the Banshee's Howl? ”

"I can. Because I later used this scroll in the office of the Wanderer's Guild Leader's office, killing a seven-ring mage Earwin, a Wanderer's Guild cadre, and a large number of goblins and kobolds......"

**

At this time, the second floor of the Three Wild Boars Tavern.

Elizabeth said to the assembled team, "We have to leave now. The war is over, and we don't need to stay any longer to protect the people. This is our last chance to go! My second brother won't let this natural marriage material run away like this! Look at how he takes advantage of Ruth, who just became his fiancée! ”

Flint was fiddling with his dwarven pipe when he looked up at Elizabeth's words, "Exploit? What else can he use, he must marry you into the Mage Tower. ”

Elizabeth looked at the dwarf solemnly, "That's the problem, Bruce knows that the idiot stubbornly thinks he doesn't love me. He knew that I couldn't marry into the Mage Tower, at least not now. ”

"Oh." The dwarf raised an eyebrow, "So he's going to detain you and marry someone else later?" ”

Elizabeth sighed: "I should have been married off at this time. The daughters of aristocratic families are usually engaged at the age of 14, but I am a warlock, so I am special. So my father didn't rush me to get engaged. Warlock's daughter is more precious, you know, you can sell it for a higher price. ”

Mishasara looked thoughtful: "Wait a minute, if we leave now, we won't be able to get the resurrection scroll." The mage brother is still counting on resurrecting Irwin with that and then finding out the situation. ”

Elizabeth: "That's what my second brother does!" He was holding the scroll just to keep us from leaving. Yesterday he had already gone on a killing spree, killing everyone who opposed him, and now that he was sure of victory, why didn't he give us the scroll yesterday? ”

Flint: "Maybe it's just that we're afraid we'll resurrect Irvin and then we won't be able to deal with it." That's the Seven-Ring Mage. ”

Elizabeth: "No, definitely not! My second brother is a treacherous and cunning fellow, and he ......"

The ears on the top of both Mishasara's and White's heads moved.

Xiaobai was about to fall asleep on the table, drooling a lot, and suddenly sat up straight and looked at the window.

At this time Marika opened the door and came in, and said eagerly: "Cavalry! Langdon's cavalry surrounded the tavern! ”

Elizabeth: "Look! Let's go underground now! ”

"Wait a minute!" Xiaobai said, "Da Ming told me that if something happens, I will read his note." ”

Then the little guy pulled out a note.

Elizabeth frowned: "Why didn't he give it to me!" ”

Xiaobai had already unfolded the note and read the words on it aloud: "Don't worry, wait for me to come back!" So said it on a note. ”

When Elizabeth snatched the note and looked at it carefully, the door opened, and Cassander entered the room: "I'm sorry, Your Highness. Boss told me to take a good look at you. ”

Dwarf: "Okay, who's the second-in-command now?" Let's see if we're waiting, or are we going to go out? ”

Elizabeth sighed, "Let's wait." ”
