Chapter 18: True and False

Leilin searched on her phone for a while, then clicked on a piece of news for Wren.

”....... Yesterday, a robber broke into the 500th birthday party of King Finn III, which took place at the palace of the Holy Jewel. At the banquet, he snatched King Finn's Holy Jewel gown in front of guests and journalists. It is reported that this treasure, called the 'Five Hundred Jewels Supreme Dress', was given to their king by the citizens of the Holy Jewel Kingdom as a birthday gift, and due to the rarity of the Holy Jewel, the value of this dress is immeasurable. Although everyone worked together to retrieve the dress, the largest holy jewel on the dress, the one that belonged to King Finn, was taken away by the robbers, and the treasure was lost along with the people. The following is a clip recorded by the reporters who were present. β€œ

In the video, a man in worn armor stands on a rooftop and shouts in a heroic tone: "My name is AltaΓ―r, AltaΓ―r ibn La'Ahad, an assassin whose favorite thing to do is to loot unparalleled treasures. β€œ

At this time, the host's voice began to be introduced: "We can see that this robber is wearing very strange armor, as if it were an old antique. He referred to himself as AltaΓ―r, and claimed to be a treasure-stealing Assassin. Wait a minute, we contacted our reporter who was in the Holy Gem Kingdom, let us connect with him and ask him about the situation at the scene. β€œ

The picture is cut into two parts, with an additional window for the on-site reporter, and a male reporter holding the microphone waiting for the arraignment.

"Qiaobu, can you hear me?" The moderator asked.

After an interval of about a second or two, the reply said, "I can hear me." β€œ

"Alright, Hashibu, can you tell us about the current situation of the Holy Gem Kingdom?"

"Of course, you can see behind me, the guards of the World Council have arrived in the Kingdom of the Holy Jewel, and they are searching for the bandit's whereabouts. One thing to note is that the guards had just warned me that the robber was strangely dressed and had a confused speech, so they guessed that he might be a mentally ill person. It is worth noting that the strength of this mentally ill person is extremely strong, and none of the people who were at the scene at that time were his opponents, and it is conservatively estimated that he should be above 500 certificates, so he is just an extremely dangerous person. β€œ

The host showed a look of surprise: "500 certificates? That's really powerful. β€œ

"Yes, the point is that he is still mentally ill, and no one knows what he will do next. So I would like to remind the people of the Holy Gem Kingdom, as well as neighboring countries, to be careful with him. β€œ

"It's really dangerous. So Qiaobu, do you have any other news to say? β€œ

"Yes, I just met with the Minister of the Holy Gem Kingdom, Mr. Mendoza, who is now by my side, and he is willing to be interviewed by me."

The host, Shen Zi, leaned forward slightly, "The minister of the Holy Gem Kingdom?" Can you get started now? β€œ

Hashibu nodded and gestured to the camera, presumably communicating with the cameraman.

The camera pans to the left and focuses on a wizened man in a suit, none other than Mendoza.

Reporter Hashibu stretched the topic over, "Mr. Mendoza, thank you very much for accepting our interview. β€œ

"It's okay, I have something to say to the media."

"Okay, so here we go, first question, how is King Finn doing now?"

Mendoza squeezed out a few tears, wiped them twice with the back of his hand, and said in a choked voice: "Your Majesty has lost his holy jewel, and the dress given to him by the people has also been damaged, and he feels that he has failed the love of the people, and now he is extremely sad and recuperating. ”

"It's a great misfortune and we're sorry that such a beloved king could have befallen such a misfortune," said Mendoza. Then I would like to ask, is there any news about the robber now? Like his true identity? Where did he go? ”

Mendoza wiped his tears with a tissue and, after pouring his thanks, said: "I must point out one thing, that man is not a robber, his behavior is much worse than that of a robber, he should be characterized as a terrorist!" Do you know how many dignitaries from all over the world were at yesterday's dinner? The villain fought at the banquet, and many of the distinguished guests were attacked by him, but fortunately no one was in danger of his life. However, he has already endangered the lives of so many people, so he is not a robber, he is a terrorist! ”

Qiao Bu nodded, "Indeed, the host and the audience, just now I got to know a little bit about the guests at yesterday's banquet, there are 4 kings, 8 princes, and hundreds of ministers and celebrities from other countries. Therefore, what Minister Mendoza said has a certain truth, if there is any bloodshed yesterday, the consequences will be unimaginable, and it may even lead to war! ”

At this time, the host asked: "What about the robbers, no, the identity and whereabouts of the criminals?" ”

Mendoza said a lot, and wiped his sweat at this time: "We don't know the identity of this person for the time being, but we already have eyebrows on his armor." ”

"Oh?" The host suddenly became interested, and he leaned forward slightly, "What is this armor?" ”

"Among our guests was a Mr. Gilberto, a councillor of Brica City, and according to him, the armor was called the Armor of the Paladin of Alan Vere, an artifact that was originally kept in the Brica Historical Museum."

"Originally?"

"That's right, after Gilberto contacted Brica, he told me that the armor had been lost from the Brika Historical Museum the day before yesterday, and that they were looking for someone to steal it."

The host was shocked: "Can anyone steal from Brika City?" Moreover, this is also too strange, the armor stolen in Brika City the day before yesterday appeared in the Holy Gem Kingdom thousands of miles away yesterday, could it be done by that mental patient? Or does he have accomplices? ”

Mendoza shook his head: "We are still in contact with Brica City for this, and there is no result for the time being." ”

.......

The news was still playing, but Wren was already a little dazed.

He was sure that the man in the worn armor in the video was himself. However, he was obviously wearing good armor, and the scene he saw at that time was different, the people at that time were wearing all kinds of luxurious aristocratic dresses, and now, when he broke into the palace in the video, the men inside were all suits and leather shoes.

The guards attacked him with guns and batons, but what he saw were hidden weapons and swords.

There are other things, and what I see is completely different from the one in the video now.

Leilin laughed when she watched the news, "Hahaha, do you see this neurosis?" Wearing a broken armor and looking like Lao Tzu is the best in the world, it's really coquettish, hahaha. Huh, where are you going? ”

Wren had left without looking back......
