Diarrando put away his joke and carefully described the pirate attack on his party yesterday according to the train of thought given by Prince Huffman.

Then he said that he was suddenly awakened in the middle of the night, and when he got up, he found that there were so many black ships of the same style, and he thought that he had been attacked by pirates again. After all, those pirates who escaped suffered a great loss, many people died, and even the leader was seriously injured, and it was common sense to entangle their allies to retaliate, so they had to attack first.

"I saw with my own eyes that all their ships had their guns open and their guns were loaded, so I took the initiative to attack them. And I didn't make a lethal attack, Ryses just sabotaged their balloons, and every airship landed safely on the surface. Don't you believe you ask the people in your own fleet, weren't there still six airships of the Royal Fleet at the time? ”

"You said it was four o'clock in the morning?"

"Hmm. ”

"You said the airship was about a mile or two away from you?"

"Hmm. ”

"Are you saying that you can see that far away when it's still dark, the guns on the black airship are all in position, ready to sneak up on you?" Lovelan's voice grew higher and higher, and by the time Zuihou was already a little sharp.

"yes, what's the problem?" Diarlando looked at her inexplicably, and realized that Her Royal Highness seemed to be about to start to get overly excited again, and did not understand what she had said wrong.

"How can a human shili be so good at seeing the black barrel in the dark, and the black barrel on a black ship so far away?

Diarlando said indifferently, "If they don't believe me, I'll prove it to them." According to you, they can't believe that Reeth can change to one hundred and fifty feet and fly without wings. They don't believe in magic. What else can I do?"

Lovelan shook his head and sighed, and wrote a few more words on his paper, and Dillando leaned over to take a look, it turned out that she had added to the remarks column under her name, nationality, race, and occupation: Born with special abilities, seeing in the dark, shili is excellent.

"You don't write this completely, I am still powerful, invincible, and invincible...... "He pointed his finger at the remarks and kindly helped Lovelfria complete it, but the horse's fart slapped the horse's leg again.

Her Royal Highness raised her eyebrows. Throw the pen away. Leaning back in his chair and asking, "If you're really as good as you say, why worry about the pirate ship attacking you?" ”

"I'm not afraid, but I'm going to protect the others. At that time, more than a dozen people on the boat were resting on Enathan Island. Once the opponent preemptively fires. What to do in case of casualties. The two armies are at war. It's important to get a head start. Besides, I think their ship and yours are almost on the verge of breaking out, so I did it to prevent damage to your airship. ”

"Hmph, I'm afraid it's not someone else who needs to be protected, but someone specific. You don't have to worry about our fleet. There would never have been a confrontation like that, because no one dared to fire the first shot. It's good that you sank their ship before they could attack. It's hard for us to get hard evidence to prove that the other party is here to arrest you, let alone evidence, you haven't even had a conversation, how can you believe that it is here to attack you. ”

Dearlandor vaguely smelled the sourness in Lovelan's words, but it was difficult to explain. He had to vaguely say that he had heard others say that the pirate who attacked him was the illegitimate daughter of the Dreadhorn King, and that someone had injured the twins in the past, and then suffered crazy revenge.

"Who told you that? There is no way to use this kind of rumors as evidence in court! You said it, it is that the King of Thorn has never admitted to being an illegitimate daughter, and there is no evidence to prove the so-called revenge. You don't use your brains to do things, it all depends on your own whims. Hovland is not Turanda, where no one can do whatever he wants, we have laws, we have parliament, there are formal procedures, and everyone has to do what the code says. ”

"We also have the ...... of the law," Deirrando hurriedly argued, although Turanda was a monarchy, the law was still very sound. Most crimes are convicted and punished in accordance with the law, and of course the local nobles and lords have a lot of power to influence the outcome of the trial.

Lovelan didn't speak, and slapped a huge book more than half a foot thick in front of Dearlando. The book's beautifully decorated leather cover was printed with several large letters - "The Hovland Codex".

With some awe, Diarlando opened the cover, and on the inside page he saw the third volume of the Hovland Code (the law of all things, containing provisions on various property and ownership and other property rights, and the punishment for related crimes).

“...... How many volumes are there?" Diarrando casually flipped through and noticed a lot of nonsense in this book. For example, there is an example of villager Jack's cow being frightened by villager Tom's dog and then ramming the vegetable field of villager Ma Rui's family, causing Ma Rui's chicken to fly to John's house, and eventually causing an antique mirror to be broken.

There are several of these cumbersome examples under almost every legal clause, and many of them are small probability events like being struck by lightning, but they are also written as important remarks.

"There are six volumes in this one, and I only have one volume with me, and the accusations we are facing at the moment have the most content on this one, and of course I should also bring the first volume, which contains all kinds of personal injury liability determinations and compensation. ”

"You've seen them all?" said Deirlando, lamenting how idle the people of Hovland were, and how much of a flood of laws they had come up with to their own detriment.

"Of course, if I want to be the administrator of this country, I must know the legal code well. That's why I'm willing to take on your defense task, and if I can win this debate, my mother will recognize my abilities. It's not me saying, your case has very little chance of winning. On the one hand, you really don't have hard evidence that you were forced to fight back, and on the other hand, the Dreadhorn King has many connections in the Great Council. Even if you are the heir of Turanda, in the eyes of the common people of Hovland, you are a prodigal prince of a superstitious country that is still backward and ignorant. ”

Diarlando subconsciously touched his face, and then asked curiously: "Is it because my news is too outdated or I have never known the real Hovland before, when did we become like this in your eyes?"

"We've always looked at you like this way, but Mother and Father won't say that to King Layton, and he's not interested in understanding our politics and ideas anyway. ”

"Oh my God, were so many marriages in the past child's play, everyone didn't know each other at all, so they could become a family?" Diarrando grabbed his short hair, shocked by the terrible marital situation of his ancestors, didn't these people talk about their own country or their thoughts after they got married.

From the tip of the iceberg that has been seen about Hovland's social system so far, it is conceivable that the people who grew up here will be incompatible with everything that Turanda has had, and how did the successive princesses adjust the huge difference in concepts?

"Cut, that's why I despise that engagement ceremony. What's the difference between that kind of marriage and human trafficking!" Lovelan immediately echoed loudly, scoffing at the absurd farce of the year.

"And our two cousins have been intermarried for dozens of generations, and according to the research of our science officer, this is extremely irresponsible for future generations, although it is possible to give birth to offspring who are particularly excellent in all aspects, but it is also very prone to brain disabilities, physical disabilities or mental disorders. Lovellan, as he spoke, looked at Dearlando meaningfully.

Diarlando touched his eyebrow bone with a smile and defended himself: "I think I'm still quite normal, in all aspects!"

"Who knows. Lovelan snorted disdainfully, then pulled the conversation back to the case at hand.

"Your testimony now shows that your aggression comes from your own subjective judgment. That is, if you are walking on the road and a passer-by passes by with a knife, he looks at you, and you suspect that he is going to kill you, and then you beat him. ”

Diarlando smiled, nodded, and said, "It seems like that, but my suspicions are reasonable." ”

Lovelan gave him a blank look and said, "It's useless for you to say that you are reasonable, you have to think the councilors are reasonable and credible, and this requires you and your fellow travelers to act." I remember that there were a lot of children and old people and women who came with you, and let them make the process scary, so that maybe you could get more sympathy. ”

"Can't I just find a way to get rid of the Dreadhorn King directly, and then have him drop the charges against me?" Diarlando frowned, he was not interested in pretending to be pitiful, and Aunt Rumm and Lan Li didn't know where they were, and everyone was a fake identity, so they couldn't stand scrutiny at all.

"Haha, you really don't know him well, do you think you can find him if you want to? In this way, he doesn't care about the loss of the six airships at all, and will only send a senior agent to handle the case, and you want to use force to intimidate him into finding his people. Besides, I've heard that he's a ruthless character who doesn't eat hard and soft. ”

"Oh, let's hear it, I'm very interested in the deeds of this Thorn King. Dearlando immediately pulled his chair in front of Lovellan, and he didn't believe that the Dreadhorn King would be more difficult than Fetcheron. (To be continued......)
