Chapter XXVI

After listening to the Queen's various secret messages, Deirlandor pondered how to deal with the Dreadhorn King, and then fell asleep unconsciously, and this sleep was all at once until the next day.

He was awakened by a quick knock at the door, and in a daze he got up to open the door, met by Lovellan's anxious face.

"Why aren't you ready? It's already seven thirty, my God! Are you a pig? How can you sleep so well?" Her Royal Highness the princess crossed her waist and ordered the attendants and servants behind her to clean up the defendant in five minutes. Ten minutes later they were already in the carriage bound for the Grand House of Parliament.

Deirlando was awake and was feeding Reses breakfast. But Dino and the young dragon both looked like they hadn't slept enough, squinting and dozing off while eating.

Lovelan seized the time on the road to tell Dearlando what he hadn't done the day before.

"Once we're in, you'll stay in the chamber, and all the councilors outside will listen to the complainant's description before summoning you. The two sides then made further confirmation of what happened that day. When there is no doubt about this link, the responsibility for the incident will be determined, and Zuihou will draw up the amount of compensation according to the circumstances of the damage. ”

"What if we can't agree on what happened? For example, they have to say that they are not here to arrest us. Diarrando raised an eyebrow and asked a more concerned question.

"Then you have to show the evidence, you have to prove that they are trying to attack you. Our rule here is who files a protest. Whoever has to show the evidence. ”

Lovelan wore a very smart tight-fitting little dress today, and the black and white clothes showed that she was full of wisdom. But in the face of the most troublesome point in the current case, she is also very troubled. At this moment, he subconsciously used a quill pen to scratch around his ear, and the small droplet-shaped earrings shook endlessly.

"Then I simply don't admit to attacking their fleet, anyway, whoever files a protest will provide evidence. While so many people witnessed Resace's destruction of the airship, a few more saw me directing it. ”

"......" Lovelan opened his mouth in surprise, stared at the person in front of him for a few seconds, and then suddenly clapped his hands and exclaimed happily: "yes, why didn't I think of it in the first place." This method is good, and it depends on it to the end. Even if they have a witness. When the time comes, we can also prove that the person who panicked in that environment. Hallucinations are highly likely. ”

She glanced at Deirlandor with a smile and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite smart, and you would find a loophole in our law so soon." ”

Diarlando was praised and felt a little smug in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. just said lightly: "You said it all." Dragons are nothing more than legends. And why did the dragon destroy the airship? ”

Lovelan glanced at him, rolled his eyes, and simply added: "I see that you completely pretend not to understand." All the dialogues in the middle are waiting for the translator to translate sentence by sentence. You just have to play the role of an innocent foreigner who has just arrived in a foreign country, frightened by pirates and falsely accused. ”

Diarrando reached out and took another croissant from the breakfast basket, and said with some regret, "Why do I think I'm still pretending to be pathetic......"

"No, where to pretend to be pitiful, you just wisely avoided the other party's trap. The princess gave Diarlando a rare comfort, and then wrote the file she had opened, apparently revising her statement.

The distance from the palace to the Grand Parliament was short, and fifteen minutes later, the carriage arrived punctually in front of the pale blue building in the shape of a round loaf that it had seen yesterday. Because of the privilege, the royal carriage drove directly into the huge building from behind. Diarlando didn't come in yesterday, so at the moment, he and Dino were curiously looking out from inside the carriage.

It turns out that the entire semi-circular exterior wall is leaky from the inside, and countless honeycomb-like lattices are densely spread on the exterior wall, and the lattices are covered with matte glaze, which can not only let the light through, but also block the rain.

Shrouded by a semicircular faΓ§ade, it is a bowl-shaped grand theater-like building. The carriage passed through a small red door on the exterior wall of the building, drove inside for a while, and then stopped. When Deirlando put away Resaces and took Dino out of the carriage, there were already four tall giant guards standing outside the carriage.

The stature of these four guards is estimated to be tall and strong even among the giants, as each of them is more than ten feet tall. On a bronzed tangled muscle, draped in a wide red and black belt. A five-foot-long scimitar was stuck diagonally behind their backs, and two heavy eight-sided hammers were stuck in their waists, each estimated to weigh at least fifty pounds.

Dearlandor was tall among humans, but in front of them, he looked like a child. But fortunately, although these people look vicious, their attitudes are quite polite. Seeing Lovelan, she bowed and saluted, obviously knowing her identity other than that of her defender.

Dino's height was only up to the thighs of the giants, and when he walked over, he couldn't help but touch the black and shiny hammer curiously, which immediately attracted the giants' reprimand. Four loud rumbling voices suddenly sounded, and Dino jumped on the spot in fright.

"Do not touch the hammer of justice!" Dino asked Diirlando, curious, as the guards shouted at him, not understanding.

Dearlando also pretended not to understand, and asked Lovellan again. Lovelan explained it in a serious way: "Don't be unreasonable, they are from Turanda, and they don't know anything about our laws and languages. Don't scare your children. ”

The giants who were reprimanded by the princess bowed their heads and apologized, and then respectfully led her way.

In fact, on the way, Diarlando asked, Weishenme wants to take Dino, after all, he is the defendant. Lovelan tells him that taking a child with him can demonstrate the need to fight back in danger. But now they have changed their defense strategy, and they are using Dino to show their strangeness to the country.

The room in which the defendant was staying was not comfortable at all, it was an empty room with no furniture. When Dearlando was escorted in by the giant guards, he couldn't help but turn around and ask Lovellan, "There is not even a chair here, how long should I wait stupidly before leaving?"

Lovelan stood on his tiptoes and replied through the gap between the arms of the two giants: "It is hard to say, first until all the councillors are seated, then for the oath of justice, and then for the reading of the statement, at least half an hour, sometimes as long as an hour." ”

β€œ...... What?" said Dearlando, who wanted to ask again, as the red and black striped door had been closed, keeping Lovelan out of the waiting room. Dearlando had no choice but to look up and stare at the four giants.

There was also a door on the other side of the room, and Diarlando went over and knocked on it, only to find that behind it was a solid wall. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully to his surroundings, and noticed that there were many footsteps above his head moving, and it seemed that the room would rise up in its entirety, and bring himself to the scene of the Great Council.

He was separated by a wall of more than ten feet, and he faintly listened to the sound of people moving gradually decreased, and Zuihou stopped completely. Then came a piece of music, with a multi-ethnic stellarity, presumably specially written to embody the symbolism of the Great Council.

When the music ended, there was a sitting voice, followed by a rough voice with vocal cords that looked like sandpaper had been polished, and talked nonsense, from the establishment of the Great Council to the development of the heavy responsibilities it shouldered.

Diarlando shook his head when he heard this, these formalities were a pure waste of time.

Dino was left out in the cold, he was already bored to death, and at this moment he finally couldn't help but make up his mind on the four giant guards again, the hammer can't be touched, so the long knife can? He took advantage of everyone's indifference, first quietly walked around the back of a giant guard, and then approached the blade with his fingers little by little. These long knives are unedged, blunt, and have many patterns on them. Boys have a natural obsession with weapons, and he really wants to take them and see them.

However, when he tried to reach for the buckle of the sword, he was finally discovered by the giant guards, and their faces sank, but they immediately stopped when they remembered Princess Lovelan's command. The giant crouched down, grabbed Dino's tiny arm solemnly, and said, "No, you can, touch!"

Dino was just bored, it couldn't be better for someone to talk to him, although he could guess what the other party said, he deliberately shook his head exaggeratedly: "No. I understand!"

The giant helplessly pointed to his weapon, then made a touching motion, and then hit the hand he touched with his other hand, and then repeated: "You can't touch it!

Dino rolled his eyes, then nodded to indicate that he understood, and then pointed to the equipment on the giant's body one by one and asked, Can this be touched, can that be touched? Realizing that Dino had found a place to amuse, he was relieved to return all his attention to the venue above his head.

The agent of the Dreadhorn King has been talking for a long time, and it can be summed up in three parts.

First: the fleet will go there, because they are going to carry a shipment to Sugong, so they are going to make a temporary stop on the island of Aenasin.

Second: they were attacked by an unknown cause, and the monsters that attacked were huge silver-white creatures.

Thirdly, they have clues that the monster shrunk or turned into a man after the attack on the fleet, and that this person was then invited by the queen to live in the palace, and this person was said to be the prince of Turanda, a relative of the Hovlan royal family.

After the president of the council asked the agent to confirm that his statement was true, Deirlandor finally heard the order to summon the accused. (To be continued......)
