Pillars of Ita

Chapter 935 Chapter 260 Act Six A Trap

"We demand reciprocity," asked the Keeper. Virus' voice came from outside the arena, causing everyone to look in that direction. Except for Fang Plover, everyone in the Colin-Ishurian delegation was there.

Xiaoyao and Mu Lan waved their hands in this direction.Fang Ploy also saw Dill and Liuli, and he didn't know how the latter's game was going, he thought.

The continental league has a long schedule, maybe Liuli's game has already ended, and they just have to wait for the others to return to Colin-Ishurian.It's just that I don't know what his grades are. Seeing that guy's usual stinky face, Fang Plover can't guess.

Virus walked out of the Colin-Ishurian delegation, and continued to speak to the Keeper, "Dear Keeper of the Silver Tower, Keeper of the Great Library. Our involvement in this incident is due to Because our contestants discovered that the Chosen Ones in the first division participated in the persecution of civilians. This incident started in the territory of the Stag Principality, and involved Ash Lynn’s past affairs with the Empire 20 years ago, and ended with Ayn Brock. They were all initiated by those who died in the guild."

"As for our contestants, they were just forced to stop them, and in the process, they clashed with the Einbrok patrol guards. According to the Stargate statute, it is not illegal to prevent others from doing things that violate the statute. The Empire is also a Stargate The parties to the declaration, so this reason is also applicable in the empire. It’s just that the Einbrok patrol guards don’t agree with our statement, so there is this arbitration.”

"Then I demand a peer-to-peer verdict. If our contestants prove that what they said is true, then the Einbrok patrol guards also need to prove their innocence to explain why they acted together with the people from the death guild that day."

"I object," before she finished speaking, a voice from the Seven Sorcerers family interrupted.Fang Yan looked in that direction, and saw that it was members of the Geli family who spoke. The mages of the dragon family were all wearing red robes, which also showed their identity as elementalists.

The person who spoke was an elf envoy, a high-ranking occupation of an elemental envoy, similar to a title like a great wizard.Even if the person who spoke was not the head of the Gregi family, he was probably an existence with an extraordinary status in the dragon family.

"Who is that?" Sky Blue asked.

"Eldest son of the Earl of Claire," replied Baggins, "I have seen this man on other occasions when I was traveling with the Sir. Although he is not the current head of the house, he is about the same in position, This person has a gloomy mind and has won the trust of Duke Hawke."

The others didn't speak, and listened to the earl's son explain the reasons for his objection.That reason is not new at all, it is still the old saying of Hawke's side, arresting suspects and investigating the past 20 years ago is the job of the Ein Brock patrol guard.

They may have made a misjudgment due to wrong information, but they should not be judged for this, otherwise, who would dare to serve His Majesty the Emperor in the future?All in all, all the faults are the death of the guild, and have nothing to do with the empire.

After hearing this, the Keeper turned his gaze to the direction of the people present in the Guild of Death, and there was silence over there, and he did not refute this point.Fang Plover had already expected this. The Guild of Death Falls, the Ainbrok Patrol Guards, and the Duke Hawke behind them were colluding, and it was expected that they would take the initiative to take responsibility.

But that's enough.

The keeper said, "This lady."

"Virus," Virus replied, "I understand, then I turn to request a reciprocal verdict against the Deathfall Guild."

"If they don't object."

But the direction where the death fell to the guild was still silent.

The keeper waited for a moment, nodded, opened the large dark blue book with the holy emblem of Angela in front of him, and put one hand on the page, "I announce that the arbitration has begun."

Then he read the rules to the crowd.

Those fang plovers were already familiar to him. After all, he was as clear as a mirror in his heart, and he had expected such a day long ago.This is also the strategy set by Virus and Baixue. Since the intervention of the dragon knights, there are only a few possibilities left for the empire and the Colin-Ishurians.

Either both sides make concessions together, or continue to wrangle endlessly.But if we want to draw an end to this, apart from war—then there is only one possibility left, and that is the verdict under Anjina's Realm of Truth, which ordered the emperor to send the Scroll Knights to intervene in this matter.

No matter how belligerent the Osurians were, it was impossible for the empire to clash with the Colin-Ishurians over such a trivial matter, so endless wrangling seemed inevitable.But Fang Plover still has a trump card in his hands, and that is Tenaric.

As long as it mentions this matter in the Silver Helmet Holy Court, it may prompt His Majesty the emperor to intervene.Although I don't know how Tenarik finally expressed it, it seems that the other party is much more reliable than expected. Under the joint promotion of him and Friston, His Majesty the Emperor really had an idea——

Moreover, Duke Hawke took the initiative to bring up the scroll knight.

Of course Fang Yan understood why the other party would do this, but this was exactly what he wanted to see.A huge smoke bomb that had been planted since the Stag Principality did not expect to play a miraculous effect at this time.

He reached for the gray crystal in his pocket with his hand, and the smooth surface carved by the crystal responded with a cold touch.

However, Tianlan and Pappalal were obviously still confused, Luo Hao explained the details of the arbitration to them respectively——

Specifically, the keeper is not the adjudicator, but the host of the ceremony.They acted on behalf of Anjina's authority, but they did not transgress the laws of the world and ruled on matters of right and wrong.

Angela attaches great importance to knowledge, the laws and order of the world, but right and wrong, good and evil are not within the scope of his attention, and neither are his followers.

Therefore, arbitration must be limited to the scope permitted by the laws of the empire and the Stargate statute, which is why they must obtain the consent of the judge before the trial.They do not take the initiative to judge, but to adjudicate the truth.

But the realm of truth is the power of God after all, and the two parties to the arbitration will explain it under the watchful eyes of God and make a contract. Once it takes effect, one party must pay the price.Angela cast her gaze on Mortal World, which is not something everyone can easily bear.

This is why the Domain of Truth is called the Judgment.

Tian Lan seemed to understand but half understood.

But the Keeper had already put his hand on the book, had taken his final oath, and at that moment a spectacle appeared.Light blue light streaks appeared from mid-air, shrouded the square, and descended slowly, like a gaze hanging from the clouds, falling on everyone in the square.

But at the moment when the blue light pattern touched his body, Fang Plover felt his body sink slightly, as if there was something more in his mind.That feeling is a bit strange, a state that can be felt but cannot be described in words.

"The realm of honesty has come."

The keeper replied flatly.

Angela is the watcher of history, the recorder of truth, and so are its believers.Therefore, the keeper himself did not ask any questions, but only turned his attention to the patrolling guards.

Only then did the young man look over at Fang Plover and his party, restraining the malice in his heart, and simply asked, "Who are your identities?"

Tianlan subconsciously said: "Tianlan's fantasy, a member of the Seven Seas Brigade."

Then she gave an 'ahh' in surprise and covered her mouth.

"Ed, the head of the Seven Seas Brigade." Fang Yan replied, and then said to Tian Lan, "As long as you speak, you must speak the truth. If the other party is trying to induce you to speak, you need to restrain your thoughts of answering."

Only then did Tian Lan realize the strength of An Ji's Realm of Truth, and hurriedly nodded.

The others also said their names one by one.

After the big cat man spoke, he looked towards the side of the square, and he felt a gaze looking in this direction from there.

But it is difficult to detect the source of the eyes in the crowd.

"My name is Attila-Greenhill-Zongxing," Miss Elf hesitated for a moment before she spoke softly, "A member of the Seven Seas Brigade."

Among the crowd, one gold and one silver eyes were staring in this direction from a distance.The colleagues around her were obviously surprised and wanted to go forward, but the female knight reached out to stop them, and pressed the other hand on the sword, her long ears trembling slightly.

The crowd seemed to be aware of the abnormality behind them, and several gazes looked in this direction, and fell on these strangely dressed knights.

The girl looked at them, her cold eyes piercing so that no one dared to look at her.

There was a group of seven people, all wearing long gray-green cloaks, whose origins could not be seen at all, but there was only a strange emblem on the collar——

Gray branches are spreading and growing under the shadows.

"It turns out that this is Sister Attila's real name," Tian Lan said curiously, "Sister Attila's real name is so long, I've never heard of it before."

The big cat man grinned.

But Fang Plover always felt that the name sounded familiar, so he couldn't help but look in the direction of the family of the seven wizards, because there seemed to be some commotion among the wizards there.

On the other side, Jita raised her head unexpectedly——

Mingzheng stood up from his seat, even the snacks in his hand were not tasty, and he stared at Fang Plover with rounded eyes, as if he was looking at some little monster.

And Virus was turning his head, and she looked at each other.

Both of them saw the look of surprise in each other's eyes.

"...the royal family of the elves," the red-robed mages of the Geliji family were commotioning, making surprised voices, passing the name over and over again, "the stars... which temple's unicorn is she? Beast girl?...how could there be an elf saint here?"

But the commotion among the mages did not carry over to the common people.

In the eyes of most people, this is just an ordinary name, even including that young man.He didn't expect to get any useful information from the other party's identity, it was just a fixed link.

He was about to speak again, but suddenly there was a commotion in a corner of the square.I saw a group of guild callers wearing black and white shirts swarming in from there, and the paladins standing in that direction stepped forward to stop these people, and shouted to each other:

"Who are you guys?"

But the young man in the lead acted as if he hadn't seen it, and shouted directly to the center of the square: "Tian Lan, die for me!"

His voice was not loud, but it immediately spread throughout the audience.As soon as Tian Lan saw the young man, she immediately said 'ah' like a mouse seeing a cat, and she didn't put on any airs, she quickly shrank her body and hid behind Luo Yu, looking terrified.

"Dragon Knight!"

Everyone in the square gasped.

This time they recognized it. The young man who spoke was at least a dragon knight, and the ability used by the other party was the dragon knight domain.

Another Dragon Rider.

The knights drew out their long swords one after another, as if facing a formidable enemy.

But Fang Yan was more shocked than these people, because he knew this person—Halsey the Kingslayer, Ten Nightingale Kings.At the same time, he is also the vice president of Twelve Colors Iris, and Forin, the talented player of Twelve Colors Iris, is standing behind these people at this moment.

He looked at Tian Lan with some doubts, how could the Ten Nightingale Kings of the Hill of Giant Trees know Tian Lan?
Facing a dragon knight, the keeper finally said, "Mr. Dragon Knight, please explain why you are here."

"I'm looking for someone." Halsey said bluntly.

"If the person you are looking for is on this square, please wait until after the arbitration is over." The keeper replied.

Halsey didn't object either, and nodded in the direction of Fang Plover and his party.

Fang Plover looked at Tian Lan, but the little girl's eyes rolled wildly, pretending not to see, in short, she didn't look at him.

At this time, the young man who had been waiting impatiently asked, "Can we continue?" He was a little dissatisfied that he should be the protagonist, and he was about to force Fang Plover and his party into a corner step by step. go.

Although he couldn't guess what Fang Yan and his party were thinking at the moment, he thought to himself that it wouldn't be much better.As a result, so many extraneous things happened, which made him faintly feel that something was wrong.

The Keeper nodded to him, motioning for him to continue.

Only then did the young man ask: "On the day when the incident happened, were you guys in Aiyinbulok and fought with the patrolling guards?"

This is also a fixed link, and everyone answered yes.

He looked at Laila again, "Miss Laila, are you a descendant of the Lynn family and have a close relationship with the Lynn family?"

Lyra paled and nodded slightly.

"Okay then," the young man said, "I have confirmed that my identity is correct. The patrolling guards got a report that day, and evidence that was closely related to the Ash-Lynn incident 20 years ago appeared in Ayn Bullock. Since Miss Laila She has a close relationship with Lynn's family, so it is not impossible for Ash Lynn's manuscript to be in her hands."

"Although Ash Lynn's manuscript belongs to the Lynn family," he continued in front of everyone, "it is indeed an important evidence of the past 20 years ago, so we invited Miss Lila to assist in the investigation , should be reasonable, right?"

The Keeper did not speak.

He is not an arbiter, but a witness.

"But Ms. Virus's request for a peer-to-peer judgment to inspect the guards was rejected," said Xiaoyao off the field, a bit regretful, "The Realm of Truth is only valid for answers, but we can't take the initiative to ask questions, so we can only passively defend forever. Let them stand in the judgment On the one hand, it is actually very unfavorable for Ed and the others."

"What are you worried about?" Mu Lan said unhappily, "Sister Ming and Ms. Virus will naturally find a way."

There was a lot of discussion in the square.

But Fang Plover took care of himself.

Seeing that he didn't shed tears when he didn't see the coffin, the young man continued to speak: "You fought against the patrolling guards, it can be said that it is to comply with the Stargate regulations, but we also have other information, saying that you were involved in the Ash Lynn incident. The involvement is very deep. Ms. Sylviede-Albert-Spica, your father used to be close friends with Sir Ash Lynn, and he once visited the Principality of Stag 20 years ago, am I right?"

Sylvie was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

"But that doesn't mean anything either!"

Tian Lan finally couldn't bear it anymore, poked her head out from behind Luo Yu, and protested.But she immediately felt two eyes falling on her, one was from Halsey, the other was from Fang Plover, she hurriedly lowered her head and hid again.

The young man didn't care about Tian Lan's rhetorical question, and continued: "So the conflict between you and the Deathfall Guild in the Stag Principality was not because of the Stargate statute, but because you coveted Ash Lynn's manuscript and planned to intervene. This matter, right?"

"I object," Virus said immediately, "This is a leading question, and I ask our contestants to explain the facts in detail."

The keeper looked at Fang Plover, who nodded.

The young man kept his mouth shut, as if he didn't object.

Only then did Fang Yan tell in detail what happened to them in the Stag Principality, how they met the old servant of Lynn's family, how they helped each other, and how they forged Ash Lynn's manuscript.

Of course, he didn't say anything about the star device and the gray crystal. In the realm of truth, you can only speak the truth, and you can't distort the facts—but it doesn't mean you need to say everything.

After he finished speaking, the blue lines of light did not respond.

The mages are whispering - it's real.Earl Gregory's eldest son frowned and looked in the direction of the young man.

But the young man was confident, and he had reason to believe in his own judgment—the fact that the members of the Guild of Death had come to investigate Ash Lynn's manuscript in the Stag Principality was certainly not groundless.Instead, after the Battle of the Northern Territory, they paid a huge price to allow the magicians of the prophecy faction of the Golden Goat family to make accurate predictions to determine the location of their manuscripts.

After Fang Plover and his party claimed to have taken the 'manuscript' away, Eisengreen's prophecy wizards confirmed again that the manuscript had indeed been transferred from the Stag Principality to the empire.

Afterwards, Fang Yan personally showed the gray crystal in front of him in a 'furious rage'. With multiple evidences superimposed, the possibility of misjudgment is almost zero.

And right now, it is the best time for them to confirm the location of Ash Lynn's manuscript.

The young man said lightly, "Maybe you thought so at the time, but people change. Maybe you changed your mind after that and managed to take Ash Lynn's manuscript away."

He spread his hands, "I have a decisive piece of evidence to prove this, that is, who owns Ash Lynn's manuscript at this moment. If Miss Lyra is innocent, and you are innocent, then the manuscript is It shouldn't be on any of you—"

Fang Plover hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Aware of his hesitation, the young man showed surprise at catching the prey, and immediately asked: "Then Mr. Ed, is Ash Lynn's manuscript with you now?"

Fang Plover raised his head and replied:

"No."

The air was quiet for a moment.

The young man was obviously stunned for a moment, and immediately added: "All the members of the Seven Seas Brigade, and Miss Leila, do you have Ash Lynn's manuscript with you?"

But everyone shook their heads and gave a negative answer.

The square fell silent, and even ordinary people could see that the arbitration had reached the most critical moment.The mages also stopped whispering and cast doubtful eyes in this direction.

The young man was obviously shaken, but he calmed himself down immediately, and continued to ask: "Then I ask, during the journey from the Stag Principality to Ayin Bullock, from the day when the Ayin Bullock incident happened to today, Ash -Has Lynn's manuscript ever been on any of you?"

His voice became a little sharp, "Everyone must answer!"

"I object," Virus said, "The scope of the question is too broad. This arbitration should only involve the Ein Bullock incident. Other than that, it should have nothing to do with us."

She wasn't worried about Plover, but she was worried about Lyra.She was also from a grand guild herself, so of course she understood that most of these guilds were well-planned behind the scenes, and if there was no real source of information, she would never have made such a big move.

The young man immediately retorted, "Ms. Virus, I am asking questions related to Sir Ash Lynn's past 20 years ago, which should not be excluded."

The two looked at the keeper, who nodded.

The young man then set his sights on the Seven Seas Brigade and his party.

But Fang Yan looked at him with pity, and he said firmly, "Of course not."

"No." The big cat man shook his head.

"Me neither!" Tian Lan replied loudly.

Others also denied it one by one.

The air in the square was deadly still.

The young man's face is getting paler, and he is screaming in his heart that this is impossible, all the evidence points to the fact that the other party has concealed the truth, but even he can't question the effectiveness of Angela's Realm of Truth—unless he wants to be here on the spot Take a shot.

His eyes swept over everyone one by one, and finally fell on Lyra.The pale-faced girl remained silent up to this moment, looking panic-stricken, and the young man shouted as if grasping at straws: "Miss Laila, what's your answer?"

"I...I..." Lila stammered, "I..."

"You have to answer," the young man snapped angrily, "was it ever in your hand!"

Laila lowered her head and answered with difficulty:
"Yes, it is……"

The young man is almost as if he is exhausted, and he almost feels lucky to survive the catastrophe.But then hysterical madness welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help pointing in that direction and shouted at the guards, "It's confirmed, grab her!"

Laila took a step back in shock, almost falling to the ground.

But Sylvaide stretched out a hand behind her to support her.

Fang Plover also took a step forward, stopping in front of the girl.In front of everyone, the secret keeper also reached out to stop the young man.

The square was peaceful, with faint blue light streaks floating above the arbitration tribunal, and there was no reaction to the words of Leila or the young man—the ruling of the gods had not yet been issued.

"What's going on here!?" The young man almost jumped three feet high, "Why is there no ruling!? I've already confirmed that Ash Lynn's manuscript is on her, and everything has been settled! "

But Fang Yan looked at him and said:

"I'm afraid you've made a mistake."

"This arbitration is about whether we have violated the Stargate statute, and whether the motive of the Einbrok inspection guards to take action against Lila is really as pure as they say," Fang Yan replied word by word, " Sir Ash Lynn's manuscript was once in Lyra's hands, so what? The manuscript belonged to Lynn's family, and you have already confirmed her identity."

He paused briefly.

Then he spoke again:
"Then, according to Ms. Virus's proposal. Since Ash Lynn's manuscript has nothing to do with us, we have now proved our innocence," Fang Yan looked at the group of Eyn Bullock's inspection guards, especially the one who was shocked. The pale Director, "Is it now time for the guild to prove itself when death comes?"

The young man's mind was in a mess.He couldn't figure out why things were completely beyond expectations. Even though the other party had shown Ash Lynn's belongings, how could this matter have nothing to do with them?He faintly felt that he might have fallen into the other party's trap.

But now is not the time to admit defeat, at least it is confirmed that Ash's manuscript is on the girl.He quietly wiped off his sweat, and continued following his confused thoughts, "Wait, since Ash Lynn's manuscript is on Ms. Leila's body, it at least shows that the patrolling guard's investigation of her is not for nothing... It may be a misunderstanding that you got involved, but Ash Lynn's manuscript is here, which is enough to prove that..."

Since it is no longer possible to take revenge on these Colin-Ishurians, at least get Ash Lynn's manuscript first, and pick out the patrolling guards.

This was the subconscious thought in the young man's mind at the moment, but he was only halfway through speaking when he suddenly saw Fang Yan smiling at himself with ill intentions.

Fang Plover looked at Virus at the side, and saw the goddess of the iceberg came up to the stage and handed him a volume of notes.Fang Yan raised the note, shook it in front of the other party, and then asked Lyra beside him, "Lyla, is it Sir Ash's manuscript you mentioned earlier?"

Lila was slightly taken aback, looked at the silver-gray cover of the note, and nodded slightly.

Fang Yan gave her a gentle smile, then turned to look at the young man, "Is this the Ash Lynn's manuscript you mentioned?"

As he spoke, he gently threw the thing forward, and threw the book of notes not far from the young man, on the edge of the realm of truth.

Laila gave a soft ah, looking a little pained.

But the young man didn't care about other things at this time, subconsciously took a step forward, and picked up the note.He opened it casually, and saw a line of tiny words written on the silver-gray title page:

'My Elements and Magic, Introduction
—Another Solution to the Mystery of the Stars, Ash Lynn, November 1082th, 11. '

His eyes widened, and his hands trembled more and more.With the chaos in my mind, I couldn't help but blurted out: "What the hell is this! What I want is Ash Lynn's manuscript, which is the design of the star device..."

The moment he mentioned the star device, he suddenly came to his senses, his mind trembled, and he subconsciously closed his mouth.He wanted to change his words, but when he looked back, he realized that he had stepped into the realm of truth.

The other party is intentional!

The young man was sweating coldly.
