Chapter 9 Arrest
The architecture of Jandu Latria, the administrative center of the Croatian Federation, is very different from what Zero has seen in Koles and Moonlight.
First of all, although it is also divided into inner and outer cities, there is no essential difference between them. There are no majestic buildings in the inner city like the royal palace that I have seen before, but it is a little sour. It is worth mentioning that the streets of the inner city are extremely clean, which is unmatched by any other place before, and I don't know how it is maintained. The very center of the inner city is not the administrative hall, but instead there is a wide open space, known as the "Liberty Square", which is paved with blue and white stones. Whether you look at it from afar or in it, you can feel relaxed and comfortable, and it must be very comfortable to soak up the sun here.
Zero spread his arms and ran in circles around the square, his face filled with happiness.
"The inner city is actually free to come and go, is there no problem with such lax management? Ai Xue looked at Zero's figure and asked worriedly.
"It's unfounded, what does the safety of this city have to do with us? Kaos scoffed at this. [Moontimer] good-looking novel debut[] Moontimer 9
"The administrative hall is still some distance from here, why don't you go over and take a look?" Alice said.
"You're so familiar with this place, you've been here before?" asked Zero.
"Well, but it's a place where ordinary people can't get in. After all, it is the administrative center of a country, and it is also heavily guarded, and it is a place similar to a royal palace. β
Led by Alice, everyone saw the Executive Hall from afar.
How to say it, it seems to be a bit like a white house on earth, and the pure white color gives people a solemn feeling, which is definitely not a palace. There are various kinds of plants and trees planted in the surrounding area, and insects and birds are also active in the area, making it a peaceful scene.
"In that case, we've taken the whole inner city around. Alice clapped her hands, "Leisurely times always pass quickly." β
Because the sales plan was completed in advance, everyone in the snow tuans began to explore the inner city of Yangdu under the leadership of Alice. It's the third day, and I've finally seen all the sights.
Lena has been pestering Jessica to learn magic lately, while Gal and Leonard do some necessary research for the rest of their journey, including selling a set of horses and carts, and thinking about how to make more money with the 8 gold coins they have just earned. Icarus doesn't seem to be feeling well today, and is currently staying in the inn to read.
In fact, there were only 5 people wandering outside: Zero, Ai Xue, Ike, Kaos, and Alice.
I don't know why, the Golden Apple Chamber of Commerce has not been heard from either.
"Aren't they really going to take revenge on us?" Zero only knew that Jessica had used some means to punish them, but he hadn't thought about what Jessica had used.
As everyone knows, the people who were recruited were lying on the bed in the central clinic crying and scolding their mother.
If it weren't for the quick medical treatment the next morning, Epside and the others would probably have died of dehydration. Tigris's karma has always been just a legend, but the patient's condition is exactly the same as eating this poisonous weed, which still surprised the medical staff, and there was no sign of poisoning at all.
Apid was a smart man, and naturally discovered the root of the problem, and everyone lying here had eaten the cart of watermelons sold by outsiders.
But he couldn't produce evidence, nothing was detected in the watermelons, and the medical staff who tried it later did not have any abnormal reactions. This is also normal, the blue mark used by Jessica is only valid for 24 hours, and Tigris's karmic fire is the result of Jessica's spell cast on the marked object in the Chamber of Commerce that night, and the watermelon is naturally harmless. This is a flawless battle that she has planned long ago.
"Damn! I'll get you the punishment you deserve!-" There was an unbearable agitation in the belly, followed by an indescribable sound.
"If you don't take revenge, I'll swear not to be a human being!"
Filled with foul-smelling air and a wet bed, Epide was as uncomfortable as an ant in a wok.
There's no one on the street - [Moontimer] good-looking novel debut[] Moontimer 9
"I had a bad feeling. β
As expected, the hotel was surrounded by guards.
"Why is there a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu. Zero was stunned in place, "By the way, it was the same when I was in Sansha, but those people were wearing different clothes. β
Lena was trying to explain something, and Jessica was right next to her, but didn't speak.
Icarus seems calm on the outside, but I'm afraid that her heart is trembling.
"What's going on?" Ai Xue rushed over first, "They are my companions, I am the head of this mercenary group, please discuss with me if there is anything." β
"Yes, you can come with us first. The tone of the leader was very arrogant, and he didn't take Ai Xue and them seriously. However, it may be due to legal constraints here that suspects who voluntarily participate in the trial cannot be harsh.
"Let's go, who's afraid of whom!" Ai Xue signaled to everyone and walked straight to the captain of the guard.
"Report!" shouted one of the guards, "there are only 8 people here who don't match the report we've received!"
"Oh, and thisβ" The Captain's eyes immediately changed as he looked at Ai Xue.
"Oh no! Leonard and Gal are still out and haven't come back!" Zero covered his face, "Now the 'sexual' nature is different. β
"I said you-" The captain of the guard smiled weirdly and put his hand on Ai Xue's shoulder, "It can't be a deliberate delay in order for the other two to escape, right?"
"How is that possible!" Ai Xue tried to break free from the captain's grasp, but found that to no avail.
"The two of them just happened to go out, and after a while, they would naturally come back. Zero explained.
"Lao Tzu spent most of the day waiting for the five of you here, and I was waiting for nmlgb!
"Yes!"
"You guys, stay here, and if those two come back, apply to me immediately!"
"Yes!"
Ai Xue bore the brunt of it, after all, she was closest to the captain, and the others were also shackled one after another. No one resisted, and it would be unwise to act as an enemy of the 'government', and they did not intend to flee until they had to.
It's forbidden demon "sex" again, and Lena's face is "exposed" and difficult to "color", but Alice and the others are very relaxed.
"Well, this is my first experience of prison life. Zero couldn't help but sigh.
The cells here are about 3 meters square, with only a wooden bed and a toilet. Probably because this is a solitary cell, and there is not much to move around. [Moontimer] good-looking novel debut[] Moontimer 9
"Good thing the toilet is clean and I don't need this either. Otherwise, eating will become a big problem. β
"Someone else must be like me. Zero One sat on the bed, and the dust directly stained her white "colored" dress. Although Zero doesn't like this dress very much, he is still a little distressed to see that the corners of his skirt are almost dyed black, and he doesn't know if he can wash it out.
"It seems that this is only used to hold suspects. β
Zero's guess was exactly right. All they had to do was spend the night in a darkly lit solitary cell, and tomorrow they would be brought to court to await trial.
