A fire in the middle of the night completely woke up the entire Ivory Island, whether it was the nobles who were having fun at the banquet, the ordinary civilians who had just fallen asleep, and even the parliamentarians who had just finished an argument, all of them raised their heads in shock at this moment, looking at the raging fire in the southeast of the outskirts of the city.

Ten minutes later, the guards, who had been reprimanded for being too slow to react to the pirate attack, gathered at an incredible speed and rushed out of the city, accompanied by hundreds of civilians and a handful of nobles, including Mr. Federer, the Supreme Speaker of Ivory Island.

And on the way, they bumped into the angry Marquis Grande, who had arrived in a hurry from his house, apparently already knew the situation, and jumped there in anger despite the fact that he was wearing only one shoe: "Damn it, Speaker Federer, I want to make a complaint against you, that damn little white face, he dares to ...... How dare you ......"

"Calm down, Mr. Grande, please remain calm. Speaker Federer, who has a poker face, is always that cold and impersonal, and it is said that no one has ever seen him smile, "We are now on the way to investigate, and if there is evidence that Mr. Lin did it, the council and I will give you a satisfactory explanation." ”

Proof? Do you still need proof? The Marquis of Grande was about to go crazy, but there was a faint fear in his heart, damn it, it was a bad thing that the manor was burned, but what was worse was that the blackthorn was also in the manor, and God knows if he took advantage of the chaos to escape, or was he ......

"Your Excellency, you don't have to worry too much. Butler Gary whispered beside him. "Even if the Blackthorn were caught, no one would be able to prove that he was a pirate. And I can vouch for it, it was very clean on our estate. There's absolutely nothing pirate-related, not even a cutlass to be found. ”

The Marquis of Grande breathed a sigh of relief, but he was even more angry because of it: "Damn, that damn little white face, this manor has condensed my decades of hard work, and that art hall alone cost nearly three thousand gold...... Nope!"

A few seconds later, after turning the black pine forest, the Marquis of Grande suddenly saw the tragic state of the manor in front of him. Suddenly, his eyes were dark and uncontrollable, and if it weren't for the help of the Gali butler next to him, he would have fainted in anger.

Dumbfounded, Speaker Federer and the nobles next to him, plus the guards plus hundreds of civilians, are all collectively stunned at this moment, the gods are above, who can tell me, what is going on here?

A luxurious and rich wine estate. It was as if it had been ravaged by a hundred mammoths, and had been completely reduced to a terrible ruin, with blazing flames everywhere and collapsed and charred houses everywhere. In particular, the art hall designed and built by the Marquis of Grande with a huge amount of money was directly turned into a huge bonfire, burning so that it was impossible to even see its original shape.

But that's not the point. The point is that around this burning art hall, there are actually Lin Taiping, Christine and a large group of dark creatures. These culprits had no intention of escaping at all, but gathered in a circle with great interest. Spears are pierced with all kinds of delicious food, and they are grilled slowly on the fire......

Lin Taiping sat on a mahogany chair with a large bunch of golden roasted potatoes in his hand, Tulu held several skewers of roasted chicken wings, brushing them with a paintbrush dipped in honey while roasting, and the most ruthless were Night Song and the Dark Elves, who actually smashed up all the famous paintings that Marquis Grande liked most and threw them into the fire, as if they were afraid that the fire would not be strong enough......

No! My favorite painting! The Marquis of Grande was dumbfounded, until he saw Nightsong pick up another famous painting and throw it into the fire, and finally couldn't help but roar hysterically: "Damn it, bastards, scum, what have you done to my manor?"

"What did you do?" Lin Taiping blinked innocently, beckoning to Christine by the way, and motioned for her to sprinkle some more pepper on top of the baked potatoes, "Is this still useful? Can't you see that we are holding a barbecue meeting?"

Very good and powerful, the surrounding nobles and commoners burst into tears when they heard it, and said in their hearts that this answer is really standard, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, and suddenly run to other people's houses to rob and set fires, and finally you are in the mood to hold a collective barbecue meeting, is there anything more beastly in the world than this?

In fact, the Marquis of Grande was so angry that he was about to run wild, and even his hands were trembling uncontrollably, and the wealth and materials that he had painstakingly managed for decades, and the wealth and materials that he had painstakingly looted were now all destroyed, and these bastards who had committed heinous crimes were still leisurely barbecuing here?

"No way, we're hungry. Lin Taiping sprinkled pepper with a smile, and handed over the skewer of baked potatoes by the way, "Ten minutes ago, we just had a big fight, and our bodies were consumed cleanly, so ...... What, Lord Marquis, it must be very tiring to come here in the middle of the night, do you want to come too, you're welcome. ”

Marquis Grande was so furious that his hair stood on end, and if it weren't for the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, he would have pounced on it right now and strangled this damn little white face with both hands.

So immediately afterwards, the Marquis of Grande immediately turned his head with a blue face, and made a solemn accusation to Speaker Federer: "Mr. Speaker, you have seen that these vile and filthy scoundrels have broken into my manor in the middle of the night, and have done such an intolerable thing, and I ask you to uphold justice on behalf of the Parliament, and they must pay the price, and the most painful price!"

Not surprisingly, this time the Marquis of Grande's accusation was immediately supported by everyone present, and even several nobles couldn't help but be indignant and said: "That's right, this is simply an atrocity that tramples on the law, if they are not punished in this way, then who can live on Ivory Island with peace of mind in the future?"

Yes, this did hit the nail on the head, and everyone present became even angrier, their faces flushed and they waved their fists desperately in protest, and even many excited civilians directly picked up the stone and smashed it viciously at the minotaur and the dark elf.

Execute them, execute them, burn these brutal creatures of darkness at the stake!

In the midst of the protests one after another, Marquis Grande was even more excited, bowed deeply to Speaker Federer, and tears were already flowing on his old face: "Speaker, you have heard it, this is the voice of the people, I propose to take them down now, and they can be burned directly without even a trial." ”

"Burned at the stake?" Speaker Federer was still expressionless, in the midst of everyone's excited protests, he frowned tightly, and looked at Lin Taiping with a solemn expression, "Mr. Lin, do you have anything to explain?"

"Explain, explain what?" Lin Taiping blinked innocently, but in an even more angry protest, he spread his hands casually, "I said, we just experienced a battle, you must know that those pirates are not easy to deal with, it took us several hours......"

"Wait!" Speaker Federer suddenly stretched out his hand to interrupt, and a hint of surprise appeared on his poker-like face, "If I heard me correctly, Mr. Lin, you just said that you had a battle with pirates?"

In an instant, the nobles and commoners who were originally excited were like being poured with a basin of cold water, and they suddenly regained a little calm, and some people couldn't help but look left and right, the gods are above, could it be that those damn pirates suddenly attacked our Ivory Island again?

"Not really, but it's probably the fish that slipped through the net before. Lin Taiping touched his chin thoughtfully, "Here's the thing, a few of my Dark Elf reporters came to visit the Marquis of Grande, intending to cover the previous suspected suicide, but unexpectedly, they found a few pirates in the manor, and then ......"

Then, under the guidance of the spirit of justice, the dark elves turned into messengers of justice to protect the lives of the people, and sent people back to inform them while pestering the pirates, and soon after, someone who got the news immediately arrived with Christine and the Minotaur and started an earth-shattering battle with the brutal pirates.

"Of course, since it is earth-shattering, it is inevitable that there will be a little loss. Speaking of this, Lin Taiping sighed helplessly, and looked at the manor that was still burning behind him, "However, this qiē is worth it, after paying a heavy price, we finally captured these pirates in one fell swoop...... Well, nothing, I just did what I was supposed to do. ”

The nobles and commoners present looked at each other, only to hear the stunned and wide open mouths, they didn't know what to say, they came to interview in the middle of the night, found pirates, and an earth-shattering battle, go die, you can say that, why don't you change your career to be a bard?

"It's average, it's average. Lin Taiping coughed a few times shyly, his face full of righteousness, "Actually, we just did what we should do, for the peace and prosperity of Ivory Island, for the lives and safety of the people, even if we want to shed our blood and sacrifice bravely...... Ahem, of course, if you really don't want to go, you can send more bounties or something. ”

What can I say, I have never seen such a shameless person in my life! Everyone present couldn't help but have strange faces, but suddenly subconsciously turned their heads in unison, and looked at the unlucky Marquis Grande with that sympathetic and pitiful look.

Trembling madly as if he had malaria, the Marquis of Grande suddenly screamed violently, waved his cane and pounced directly on it, his hideous and twisted face seemed to be possessed by a demon: "Nonsense! This is nonsense at all, my manor has always been safe, how could it happen......

Bang! Before he could really rush forward, Christine next to him grabbed the unidentified object, threw it unceremoniously, and threw it directly at Speaker Federer's feet.

"Nonsense, Speaker Federer, and distinguished gentlemen, maybe you can take a look at this?" (to be continued......)
