Chapter XXVII

After the order was given, Dearlando heard someone approaching the wall, and then there was the sound of a large piece of gears running, and then the room shook a little, and then slowly moved upwards.

During this time, Dino, who had quickly established a friendship with the guards, was climbing off the giant's body. Using his natural charm, he had reached an indescribable consensus with the guards who did not speak the language, and had played with all their weapons, and sat and rested on the giant's shoulder.

But now that they are about to appear in court, the guards immediately return to their original cold and fierce appearance. Dino obediently walked over to Diarrando and stood up, putting on a harmless appearance that I was obedient to. Every time he gets into trouble, he uses this trick to deal with the people in his family, and he has long been well versed in it.

The waiting room slowly rose to its place, and the door to the venue was opened from the outside. Dearrando pulled Dino through the small door and found himself standing in a small podium-like place.

This platform is slightly lower than the podium, but slightly higher than the lowest floor of the councillor's seat. Metal railings about six feet high surround the platform, giving people standing here the feeling of being caged.

There are two rows of seats on the rostrum, and there is only one person in the high row, which is actually a personal horse clan. He was the president of the Great Council, and the sign in front of him had his name Justin Camoso Hals Nadaev.

He was a man of prime age, with shiny dark chestnut hair braided into long braids and many metal ornaments tied to it. A wide ribbon symbolizing the chairman's status was draped across his strong pectoral muscles. A longbow of shiny black was behind him, and it looked as if it was ready to strike an arrow at anyone who defied the Great Council.

Justin had a pair of dark chestnut eyes on his hard face, and when the cold gaze swept over Deirlando, there was no emotion. The Centaurs have a strong sense of justice and a strong instinct to reject injustice, so it makes sense to choose them as the chairmen of the Great Council.

In front of the chair there is a curved table, where five vice-presidents are seated. Looking at the appearance, they are humans, feathers, elves, gnomes, and dwarves.

On the right hand side of Diarrando is the stepped councillor's seat, roughly counting about twenty floors, which can accommodate at least five hundred people, and most of the seats are occupied at the moment. The first reaction of everyone when they saw Diarlando and Dino was to say to each other that they looked too much like Prince Todd.

There is also a similar platform on the opposite side. However, the height of the other party's railing is only more than four feet. It looks like there's no sense of being locked up. The agent of the Dreadhorn King is a female plumage with golden feathers, wearing a small black and white gown similar to that of Lovellan, with a sign on her chest that reads Katya Lan. It's also very young, if you don't consider the coat on the side of your face. It's also a good beauty.

On the table on Dearlando's side were two simple chairs. The guard in the back gave Dearlandor a push. It seems to be to get them to sit in the chairs. After they were seated, the President of the Council, who was standing on the podium, finally began to ask questions: "Please tell me who you are." ”

Dillando looked around and replied in the lingua franca of Turanda, "I, Dillandor Burmington." The son of King Turanda and the son of Princess Leia of the Duchy of Hovland. To respect your customs, come and listen to your Great Council. ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, a soft discussion was remembered around him, and Lovelan's beautiful voice immediately rang out: "Your Excellency, I said just now, my client is not very familiar with our language. It was also the first time I came to our country, and I didn't know anything about our laws. So it's better for the Great Council to have an interpreter for him, or for me to do the translation. ”

The chairman of the council bowed his head and discussed it in a low voice with the group of people in front of him, and then agreed to the princess's request: "Allow you to act as a proxy interpreter for the defendant." I would like to remind you that there are several people in court who are well versed in the lingua franca of Turanda, and they will monitor your translations and correct your mistakes at any time so as not to interfere with the normal course of the case. ”

Lovelan humbly said, "Inspectors are welcome to oversee. Then she translated what Dearlando had said word for word.

After listening to this, Justin nodded slightly to Deirlando, how can he say that the other party is also the prince of the big country next door, so such a little etiquette is still needed. After complimenting, the chairman handed the Dreadhorn King's accusation to Lovelan and asked her to explain it to Deirlando.

Diarrando shook his head pretending to be as he listened, and after they finished communicating, the council chairman asked directly in the lingua franca of Turanda: "Your Highness Diarrando, can you admit the accusations made against you by the Black Wind fleet about your attack on their fleet in the early hours of yesterday morning." ”

Dierlando shook his head dryly: "Don't admit it, weishenme I'm going to attack them." I have other important things to do during this visit and don't want to waste time on things that don't matter. Originally, I was supposed to leave for the Diecui Mountains and Forests today, but I took the time to come here to respect your customs. ”

The feather agent on the opposite side immediately protested, accusing Diarrando of lying. He also claimed that the 180 people on the ship had seen that he had driven the monster to burst the balloon, causing all the spacecraft to crash down on the sea. Until now, it has stayed on the island of Einassen, unable to deliver goods, and has caused huge economic losses.

Dearlandor listened patiently as Lovelland translated the accusations, and then whispered a few words to her. Then the princess said in a loud voice to the chairman of the meeting: "Your Excellency, my client is the first time to come to our country, and he does not know the King of Thorns or his fleet at all, and even the airship in the sky is the first time to take it, so there is no need or reason to attack at all. ”

As soon as she said this, many of the reviewers in the audience nodded their heads, and they felt strange from the time they received a case. I had never heard of a huge flying monster in Hovland, one hundred and fifty feet long, and that monster only attacked the Dreadhorn King's Black Wind fleet, not the few other airships that were close at hand.

"And, like me, he's a normal Terran. It's not like the Yu Clan is good at climbing and jumping, how could it be possible to shoot down the airship that was suspended more than six hundred feet above the ground at that time. ”

"Protest, our statement makes it clear that it was not he who attacked it, but his magical pet. The Feather people on the other side immediately retorted to Lovelan's argument.

Lovelan immediately sneered: "Agent Katya, if the accusation has to be proven, how can you be sure that the magical creature you said is my client, and how can you be sure that there really is that kind of magical creature? ”

The female feather known as Katya was not in a hurry and immediately applied to call witnesses. With permission. Two giant guards appeared on the witness stand with a tall, skinny guy in a top hat.

Diarrando took a look. I found out that I had actually seen it, it was Zack, the jewelry merchant who Arnoyo wanted to kidnap the ticket at the beginning.

The presiding officer of the meeting still asked the other party to report to his home first, Zach introduced himself a little nervously, and then Katya's cross-examination began.

"Mr. Zach. Do you know the gentleman standing across from him and the child next to him? ”

"Meet ......"

"How did you meet. When did you meet?"

"No...... Maybe it's not an acquaintance. I can only say that I have seen it. The day before yesterday I had brought a new shipment from White Moody to sell back to China, and we were passengers on the same ship that had returned to Yanas on the Eagle-tailed Flower. ”

"That is to say, Mr. Zack, you and this Highness Diarrando came to Hovland on the 16th day of the seventh month of the 5685th year of the canonical calendar, from the port of White Moody, right?"

The jeweler glanced at Dearlando, then nodded and said, "Yes." If it weren't for him, our boatload would have been dead. ”

Katya asked with interest, "Weishenme said that?"

"Because we met the Black Pearl, you know. It's the famous sister pirate ship. ”

After Zach said this, there was a commotion in the arena, this troublesome pirate ship had already plundered ships on all routes of Hovland many times. However, the attack on the Turan route to Hovlan was really the first time.

Zach said a little excitedly, "You all know, if you run into the Black Pearl, they will snatch all your valuable things from you, and then leave an empty ship for you to fend for at sea." They had blown up our tender the day before yesterday, if it hadn't been for the heroic Mr. Dearlando...... Belch...... Your Highness, we must have sunk to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish. ”

"Oh, how did he save you from a shipload of pirates?" Katya smiled as she continued to induce witnesses.

"Ah, I've really never seen anyone so powerful. At that time, the pirate ship had already flown to a very high place, and no one could catch up with them unless they had wings that could fly, and we were all desperate. But this Highness Dearlando made a giant throw himself into the air, then catapulted himself onto the pirate ship with a harpoon, and then forced them to descend the pirate ship from the sky, and finally saved us all. ”

A councillor next to him didn't understand his description very well, and raised his hand to ask Zach for a detailed explanation. The jeweler hurriedly recounted the events of that day in order. He deserves to be in business, and in such a chaotic situation at that time, everything was recorded without any mistakes, and even some details were not forgotten.

After listening to his narration, the eyes of the audience looked at Diarrando a little. Originally, everyone looked down on him because he resembled Prince Todd, who had a weak personality, but now they all had to look at this foreign prince with new eyes.

"After asking for so long, what do you want to say?" Seeing that Katya had finally finished cross-examination, Lovelan threw out the question bluntly.

"I'm just asking witnesses to prove that this prince in front of me is definitely not an ordinary human, he is a supernormal with magical blood like you. ”

As a matter of words, there was another discussion in the seat of a councilor, as Hovland, where magic was already very rare, the innate magic of the human royal family has always been an indelible fear in the hearts of others. They understand that these royal families can easily kill themselves like crushing an ant, but the peaceful way of dealing with each other always makes people gradually forget their innate abilities.

"Even so, what does that have to do with our case?" Lovelan's face was a little bad, obviously poked in the sore spot. The young princess didn't like the special blood that flowed in her body, and she was always a little disgusted by being reminded that she was an alien.

"Mr. Zack, let me ask you again, did you really meet this Highness Dearlando for the first time on the Eagle-tailed Flower? I think you should have been on the White Moody for more than half a month, and you should not miss the sensational Battle of the Double Dragons there. Katya smiled and questioned her witnesses again.

This time Zack's face was obviously a little pale, he looked at Katya hesitantly, and then at the chairman of the meeting, Zuihou looked at Dierlando. (To be continued......)
