I really can't control myself.

Chapter 918

It seemed a bit strange that this question was asked by Linton. At this time, Toliman suddenly thought, could it be that Linton and Dane here are in the same group?Yes, it's really strange for Dane to come to the venue. Isn't the wanted criminal from all over the continent coming here to die?Why are you here?Now it seems that they may have reached an agreement with Linton. In other words, Linton asked this question because he felt that the other party could produce evidence.

The so-called evidence is definitely forged.Toliman was a little angry, but let's see what the other party did first. Anyway, the assassination of Gasein really has nothing to do with their holy association. This is obviously a frame-up against them.

However, just as Toliman was about to expose Dane, Dane directly spread his hands: "There is no evidence."

"Huh?" Toliman was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

"There is no need for any evidence. If this matter was done by our Black Hand Guild, I would admit it on the spot. There is nothing to hide. Since the establishment of the Black Hand Guild, it has been a hundred years since the establishment of the Black Hand Guild. Everything that our Black Hand Guild has done has never been done. If you don't admit it, I swear on the reputation of this guild, we didn't do this." Dane said.

"What is this? Can't you lie?" Toliman pointed at Dane.

"On this matter, I really can't lie." Dane said, "Our Mafia guild has survived until now, relying on its reputation. Now the representatives of the whole continent are here. If I lie here, I will kill myself Many of you present here are clients of my Mafia Guild, so you can judge for yourself whether it is true or not.”

All of a sudden, there was a lot of discussion in the venue. Yes, although there is no evidence to prove what Dane said, most people actually believed it.Although the Black Hand Guild is wanted by the whole continent, is it true that people from the whole continent are hunting them down?In fact, many of the people sitting here have given commissions. The Black Hand Guild can be said to be an underground organization that is secretly allowed to exist. Otherwise, if they were really hunted down across the continent, they would have perished long ago.

As Dane said, reputation is too important to the Mafia Guild. The reason why they can acquiesce in the existence of this underground organization is because they are still useful, and what guarantees their usefulness is their long-standing reputation. , who will entrust them again, who will acquiesce in their existence, is indeed the way to die.

Toliman also understood this at this time, and to be honest, he also believed that this matter was not done by the Mafia, but he also immediately said: "Did you do it, and what does it have to do with our association? You said that according to your investigation, this matter was done by our Saint-level Association, and the certificate?"

"There is no real evidence." Dane spread his hands and said, "It's just that after our investigation, most of them point to your holy association, but you said that we haven't been able to find any direct evidence."

"That……"

"But we have already investigated this assassination incident. The assassin is indeed a holy level. In terms of suspicion, isn't your holy level association bigger?" Dane said.

"It's nonsense." Toliman said immediately, "I can also swear on my reputation, this time it was definitely not done by our association. Do you think the reputation of our holy association is useless?"

"Master Toliman's reputation, I believe it." Dane said with a smile, "But your oath can only represent you personally, and I don't think it is possible to swear on the reputation of the entire guild."

"What do you mean?" Toliman demanded.

"I can guarantee that all the orders of our guild are issued by me, and I can also be responsible for everyone under my name. Can your organization guarantee this?" Dane said with a smile.

"You..." Toliman was startled, and was suddenly speechless.I said before that the Saint-level Association is a very loose organization, and the degree of freedom within the association is very high. That is to say, the Association does not know everything about what they do, and they will not deliberately pursue it, so Toliman can represent The whole association?Obviously not.

Of course the people below understood it too. What Dane said was indeed correct. In fact, if it was really the idea of ​​a certain saint-level himself, it is normal for Toliman to not know about it at all, so his oath can only be that he himself did not. Get involved in this.

"So you mean, let people from our association come here to swear one by one?" Toliman said with a sneer.

"I think this is a good idea." Dane replied without any hesitation.

"you……"

"I'm talking about the two of you." At this moment, Linton next to him suddenly said, "At present, it seems that it is still difficult to fully prove this matter, but I have a feasible method."

"How?" Toliman asked.

"Actually, everyone knows that in our Holy Empire of Elan, we often encounter such cases where neither side can provide any real evidence, so there is still a solution in the end, and that is... trial by combat. Linton said with a smile.

"what……"

"So now, I suspect that your holy association was involved in the assassination of my nephew, but there is no substantive evidence. I now formally propose a trial by combat to you. Do you accept it?" Linton continued.

"How is it possible..." Toliman wanted to refuse on the spot, which was really ridiculous, but the next second, he suddenly froze.Yes, he suddenly figured out what Linton meant. This guy and Dane were really together. The discussion for a long time was not intended to convict them. It was just a random suspicion. As long as there is such doubt, Linton will Can take advantage of the opportunity to propose a trial by combat.

This trial by combat is naturally very ridiculous. Let’s not say that the suspects are not just them. Although it is done by the holy level, the holy level association does not include all the holy level. Linton himself is not a member of the holy level association. You said Is it possible that it was not done at the holy level of the association?Furthermore, why do you have to follow the rules of your Holy Empire of Elan? Trial by combat is not a common rule in the whole continent. Although there are many countries that do have this rule, the Holy Association is not a country.

So obviously, Toliman could come up with a hundred reasonable reasons for refusing, but the question now is, can they refuse?Yes, no matter how ridiculous what Linton said, Toliman couldn't directly refuse it. You must know that this is the Continental Congress, and everyone on the continent is watching. You are a majestic holy-level association. When someone proposes a martial arts competition with you, you refuse?Where do you put this face?

Toliman understands, this is not a conspiracy, this is a conspiracy, people just use the reason of nonsense to propose a trial by combat, and you know this is a trap, but there is no way not to jump, no matter how legitimate your reason for refusing, as long as you refuse You are afraid of the martial arts competition, you can't afford to lose face.

Of course, under normal circumstances, this kind of situation is impossible. After all, they are holy-level associations. Anyone who has nothing to do will dare to fight against them, but the problem is that the opposite is Linton, and this guy really dares.

Toliman now clearly knows that no one in the association can be Linton's opponent, not to mention that Linton has already killed several saint-level records. Look at the giant dragon on the square at the entrance, He was tamed by Linton and lay there like a dog. Don't you know how powerful this guy is?

But the problem is that knowing how powerful he is is different from admitting that Linton is better than them in front of the whole continent. If I refuse now, I am admitting this to everyone, and admitting that they are cowards. It is better to let him die.

Then if you say you accept it, you will die at most, but the problem is that it is not that simple.Linton proposed a trial by combat. If he lost the trial by combat, it would be tantamount to pleading guilty.If you pleaded guilty, wouldn't you let Linton knead it? To put it simply, Linton asked all of them to apologize to Linton, what should you do?If you apologize, you will lose face. If you don't apologize, you will also lose face if you don't keep your promise. How uncomfortable it is.

Toliman is really in a dilemma now. He really didn't expect that he would be forced into this situation by such a bullshit scheme. The other party just calculated that they couldn't afford to lose people, but this directly strangled them to death. This tone is really unstoppable.

"What's the matter?" Linton looked at Toliman's expression and couldn't help but smile, "Master Toliman didn't hear clearly? Do you want me to repeat it?"

"I..." Toliman gritted his teeth in anger. Linton took advantage of it and mocked it to death. It was simply inhumane, but he couldn't keep answering. Others had already started talking in low voices.If you don't know how to fight yourself, the result is the same as refusing.

Just when Toliman was in a state of desperation, a voice suddenly came from the seat below: "I remember, according to the rules of your country, you can invite an agent to compete in a trial by combat, right?"

Everyone looked at the person who spoke, it was Dragon Lord Iglis.

"Yes." Linton nodded and said, "Then the holy level..."

"President Toliman." Iglis interrupted Linton directly, because he knew that what Linton wanted to ask was "Does the Holy Association want someone else to represent it?" Means, can this be said?So Iglis took the initiative to say, "Actually, I have some personal grievances with this Linton Sword Master, so can I be an agent in this trial by combat? Give me face."

When Iglis said so, of course he gave the Holy Association a step up. The agency he offered was not the agency requested by the Holy Association. The difference is still very big.And Iglis's face, who dares not to give it, the Holy Association entrusts him with the opportunity, naturally there is no problem.

"Then... then please, my lord." Toliman here had almost no choice. After thinking about it, he could only nod and heaved a sigh of relief.
