Quadruple split.

Chapter 270
Violet Empire

Royal Capital Saramune, Mercury Garden

Futaba sat with a serious face in the study that originally belonged to Buffy Marshall, frowning and thinking about something. Levin and Cassie are also here, and both of them seem to be in a very good mood, not to mention The vixen man, who was already completely beaming, even Cassie, who was usually serious and seemed to have facial nerve necrosis, smiled at the corners of his mouth, obviously very satisfied with the current situation.

They really couldn't be dissatisfied. After all, everyone saw Buffy Marshall's expression. In Futaba's words, it was as if he had just been fed a big mouthful of SHI. He couldn't be happier.

The investigation team composed of the seven Grand Dukes and the Violet Royal Family has basically been formed. It is expected to set off in the evening of this day. Levin will personally follow the fireclaw leader. Most of the other members are from various lords who came to the capital this time. Along with the bodyguards and cronies, it is not clear who the Violet family will send, but it is not important in this situation. As long as there are no huge omissions, the Marshall family, which has not received any news at all, will definitely be caught off guard. ...

"But I'm still a little worried, Miss Futaba." Le Wen suppressed the smile on his face as much as possible, and said to the orange-haired girl behind the long table: "After all, only Buffy Marshall and his group have been grounded now. The other Grand Dukes are completely free to move about, are you sure they won't do any tricks behind their backs?"

Futaba was coiling two small fireballs thoughtfully at the moment, and replied without raising her head after hearing Lewen's words: "Of course I'm sure."

"But……"

The well-mannered fox half-orc subconsciously wagged his tail: "Leaving aside the Grand Dukes of Baroca, Crystal Wolf, Dantis and Fernand, the Hussein family has been different from the Marshall family in recent years. There have always been frequent exchanges, and Mr. Ned even found some evidence that Hussein led the purchase of slaves. More importantly, the character of Scorpius Hussein is quite low. This kind of thing is not a matter of violating principles at all, because he has no principles at all!"

Futaba raised her eyebrows, threw the two element aggregates that had been rolled into hockey pucks on the table, and chuckled: "More than that, that Grand Duke Simon Ximu doesn't know if he is reliable, He and Buffy Marshall were classmates for a while, you still want to say that, don't you?"

"Uh, I know I shouldn't mention this at this time. After all, it is unimaginable for us Fire Claw Leaders to achieve the current result." Levin smiled shyly, and then sat down on the side. Sitting on the chair, he sighed softly: "But it is precisely because I have developed to this point that I am afraid that something will go wrong."

Futaba leaned back, laid her legs carelessly on the desk in front of her, and yawned lazily: "I'm thinking too much, whether it's that little bitch Hussein or that Even Archduke Simon, who had an affair with Marshall when he was a student, will not act rashly now."

Le Wen was taken aback for a moment: "Are you... are you gay?"

"Yeah, you didn't tell me." Futaba slightly stretched her body, smacked her lips and said with a smile, "Marshall and Simon shared the same bed for a while~"

Le Wen was dumbfounded at the time: "I'm talking about classmates! I just studied at the Knight Academy together!"

"Then share the bed?"

"No! No!"

"Huh? How do you know they haven't shared the same bed, and you also studied in that college?"

"Ah, I... I didn't."

"Then you are very familiar with the two of them, and you know the details very clearly?"

"This, neither."

"Then how do you prove that they never slept together?"

Futaba narrowed her eyes with great interest, and looked at Le Wen who was completely blinded with a smile.

And the latter is already sweating profusely at this moment, thinking about whether the Grand Duke Marshall and the Grand Duke Simon have ever slept together...

"I said, the focus now should not be this issue."

In the end, it was Cassie who brought the topic back. He looked helplessly at Futaba who suddenly became excited, and asked in a low voice: "Why are you so sure that other people will not help the Marshall family during this time? Levin What I just said is correct, many people's character is not trustworthy, and they don't even have the slightest principle and bottom line."

"Oh~"

Futaba smiled slightly, folded her legs slowly, summoned out of thin air an elemental hand with an index finger outstretched and shook it: "I have never been a person with conscience and principles, and I will not be ignorant of other people's morals. What expectations do you have for the level, you guys are still too naive..."

The elemental hand in mid-air replaced the index finger with a thumb, the kind that rushed down.

Le Wen scratched his hair and said humbly, "I would like to hear more about it."

He couldn't help but be humble, because the Miss Futaba in front of him was indeed dozens of ranks higher than him in terms of scheming.

"To put it simply, it's no good." Futaba didn't give a damn. She summoned an elemental hand and made a gesture of 'spreading hands': "First of all, the Marshall family is now facing an unprecedented crisis. If you report It’s okay to say that the latter is just a small person, but think about it, the person who accused them was another grand duke, and the height of this matter directly rose to another level. The matter of slave hunting and slave trading can be big or small, but among them The "small" is on the premise that it can cover up the past or the power gap between the two sides is too large, but the current situation is that the two nobles in the empire are fighting each other head-on, and I, representing Grand Duke Xiluo, did not leave any room at the meeting , so everyone must take this matter seriously, no matter how good the friendship between Hussein and Archduke Simon and Marshall is, if they want to make a move, they must first weigh whether they are ready to fight with Fire Claw The enemy is preparing~"

Le Wen nodded thoughtfully: "It seems to be the case. Anyone can see our attitude. If someone helps the Marshall family during this period of time, it will be tantamount to tearing faces with us."

"Heh, it's not too stupid." Futaba praised Lewen casually, and then continued: "Anyone can see that we came prepared. Marshall's losses are not unjust, so we can easily win I came to a conclusion, that is, it is reasonable not to help the Marshall family for the time being, and there is nothing to be hated, but if you help, it is tantamount to confronting Fire Claw head-on, not to mention... at least so far, no one can see Marshall's comeback hope."

Cassie saluted Futaba gratefully: "It's all thanks to you."

"Nonsense, if it's not my credit, can it be the credit of both of you?"

Futaba curled her lips, stretched out her thumbs to 'click' in her direction, and said with a smile, "But what I said just now is not the point."

Lewin/Casey: (⊙⊙)?

The girl took out a bottle of mana potion with half a lemon in it from her backpack, took a sip, and shivered a little: "Hiss, this thing is really powerful... Well, you two should know that in the Violet Empire How troublesome is it to convict a big lord?"

Cassie shook her head silently.

"I do know a little bit." Levin raised his hand and said proudly: "According to the Imperial Code, if you want to convict the nine lords including the royal family, you must go through a vote. Apart from the criminal family, the representatives of other families each have one vote, and the Violet royal family has two votes... Uh, wait a minute, what do you mean?"

Futaba dispersed the two elemental hands that were guessing each other in mid-air, and sneered: "If you want to sell favors or blackmail, wouldn't it be better to sell them when voting is about to start?"

Cassie's face froze: "In other words, even if the investigators find decisive evidence, as long as the Marshall leader wins a majority in the vote before conviction..."

"Then the conviction will not be established for the time being. Of course, more 'detailed' investigations will be organized later, but to put it bluntly, it is just a formality." Futaba licked the corner of her mouth and said leisurely: "Because the accused You must have already paid enough at that time, so there will be basically nothing to say~"

Le Wen shook his head vigorously, and said with a very ugly expression: "Impossible, does anyone still think that Marshall is innocent?"

"Idiot, what does this have to do with innocence." Futaba sneered, spread her hands and said, "Don't worry, I've already done what I should do, didn't I make myself look like a crazy woman just to Let that bitch Buffy Marshall lose his composure in public, his appearance is already very telling, and it is not so easy to make a comeback."

Levin and Cassie nodded silently, the expressions on their faces were still a little gloomy.

Perhaps they do not lack vision, wisdom and talent in high positions in the Fire Claws, but they have lived in that simple place for many years. Grand Duke Crystal Wolf, who has only been in the lord for a few years, will dump them by dozens of streets.

"That bitch thought she had tricked Miss Ben at first." Futaba stood up, walked to a few rows of bookshelves on the side of the room, and laughed jokingly: "That's why I was so obediently led to a dead end." Heh, he can have no contact with people, can be monitored, can be placed under house arrest, and can not send people back to his hometown... Doesn’t that tell me that there is something wrong with the place where he lives now~”

The girl smiled and took out the two large books in front of her, then swapped them and inserted them back in again. The next second, there was a soft sound from somewhere in the room.

She returned to the table again, then gently opened a drawer on the left hand side, took out an ice blue tray from it, and winked at the two people in front of her: "Magic made entirely of buzzing cores Props, engraved with more than two hundred space glyphs with directional teleportation function, this is his hole card."

"I didn't even notice..."

Cassie's eyes widened in surprise.

"It's normal, because this mechanism is very unique. There is half a magic circle at the bottom of the two books, and the other half is on the wooden shelf directly below. Before the position is changed, there is a small magic circle. To open the mechanism correctly, it must be completed within two seconds, otherwise the previously collected elemental power will overflow, and to open it again, you need to put the two books back in their original positions, and then spend about three hours to recharge." Futaba explained the principle lightly, and then smiled at Cassie: "Don't say it's you, even an ordinary great magister would find it difficult to find this thing without a clear target."

The latter nodded in frustration: "Then you are..."

"I can see, it's as simple as that." Futaba casually passed the topic, then turned to Levin with a smile: "Let me confirm again, the people Buffy Marshall brought to Salamune this time are all Familiar face, right?"

Levin nodded: "Absolutely, the guards he brought are all veterans of the Buffy Sword Knights. We have been paying attention to the movements of the Marshall Territory in the past two years, so this kind of thing can still be confirmed."

Futaba reconfirmed: "There is absolutely no newcomer who appeared within two months?"

The two shook their heads at the same time: "Absolutely not."

"Then I'm relieved." The girl grinned, and an elemental hand appeared out of nowhere and made a 'V' behind her: "In this case, what is the matter with Marshall who has no way to pass on the information and is still under house arrest in the Red Court?" It can't be stopped, and he can't find someone else to pass the song secretly during this period of time. In this case, as long as the investigation team comes back with solid evidence..."

She yawned, turned and walked out the door.

"It's all settled."

……

At the same time, Salamune Royal Quarter, Tricolor Courtyard

The emperor of the Violet Empire, Clive Bressen, was flipping through a book of minstrelsy by the small pool in the Zixin Garden. Although the temperature had obviously turned cooler during this time, this man with an unknown number of layers of constant temperature barriers The place is still like early summer, and occasionally one or two butterflies can even be seen flying past the flowers.

A moment later
"Father."

A high-pitched voice broke the silence. Clever looked up and saw a tall and handsome figure walking towards here at a fast pace. It was a human man in fancy clothes, who looked about thirty years old. , except for a lack of elegance, he is [-]% similar to Clever in both appearance and temperament. At first glance, he looks like his son. In fact...

He really is his son!

That's right, the person who came was none other than the eldest prince of the Violet Empire, Crown Prince Ribo Bryan.

"You should have heard about the meeting."

Clever nodded, motioned for Ruibo to sit next to him, and asked with a smile, "What do you think?"

"Grand Duke Fireclaw didn't rush to the imperial capital in person, but just sent an unknown consultant here, which is already disrespectful." Ruibo said without thinking, and then clenched his fists: "And that woman dared to To deceive the emperor is a serious crime! The teacher taught me to say this..."

"Heh~ Then what do you think?"

"I would like to go to Marshall with the investigation team on behalf of the royal family to find out the truth."

"You mean, seeing is believing?"

"seeing is believing."

"and then?"

"Stay on the sidelines."
