Game timeAM11:47
Salamune, capital of the kingdom, Hall of the Purple Nine

Sack Fries, the second-class deacon of the underground chamber of commerce "Mad Viper", the person in charge of the Black Mercury Transit Station, and the broker of the Marshall family's slave trade with the Northwest Territories, bowed slightly to everyone, and retreated behind Motan after finishing the narration.

For a moment, the entire Zijiu Hall was silent...

The patriarch of the Violet family and Emperor Clive Braisen leaned on the seat with his eyes closed, as if he was taking a nap; the dark elf Grand Duke Ximu Simon put down his quill when Sac fell silent, his sharp blood-colored eyes slightly Narrowing his eyes, he focused on the wet parchment in front of him; Grand Duke Fernand seemed to be trying to sink himself into the cushion, covering his mouth in shock; His bloody face was pale, and his lips were pursed into a stiff straight line; the elderly Grand Duke Dantes seemed to be calm, but he kept fiddling with his cane; the most junior Grand Duke of Crystal Wolf hung his head, somewhat His red eyes were parallel to the table; Mr. Baluoka covered most of his face with his hands folded, his burly body seemed to be shaking, and an extremely unstable pale golden energy shone slightly on his shoulders; as for the fire claw The Grand Duke's agent, a petite girl with long orange hair and sharp words, covered her mouth in disbelief, and looked at Buffy Marshall with big eyes in shock, as if she couldn't believe it was true ...

And Grand Duke Buffy Marshall, who has not sat back in his seat since he suddenly stood up and issued an angry reprimand, and who frequently appeared in Sack's "confessions", is stuck in place like a stone sculpture, hanging down like the Grand Duke Crystal Wolf. Eyes don't know what to think.

Except for Sac who had been talking before, only the young half-elf who called himself Anthony Dubs remained calm throughout the whole process. He maintained an elegant and decent sitting posture, a gentle and polite smile from the beginning to the end. cast a rather admiring gaze...

Everyone present had observed him covertly.

This half-elf who brought Sark who supposedly should have died long ago, who seemed to have an imperial decree that even Clever didn't know about, and who was full of mysteries, even though from the moment this guy appeared until now, only In less than an hour, he disrupted everyone's rhythm lightly, and directly pushed Buffy Marshall, who had almost completely escaped the crime, into the cliff.

He brought an earthquake that could even change the structure of the entire empire if not handled properly, but he was as calm as a passing spectator.

He will smile at everyone who looks at him. He is kind, decent and polite. He perfectly interprets demeanor, etiquette and dignity. Even the emperor's questioning can't make him lose his composure. He has a unique personality The atmosphere seems to have countless different characteristics, but it seems to be just an empty symbol, and after clearing the fog, it is found that there is nothing in it.

It is indescribable and inexpressible, but it has to be paid attention to.

But some people don't think so...

[It’s just pretending to be a slut, what about you #￥%! ? 】

Desperately restraining herself, the girl pouted secretly, and cursed angrily in the bottom of her heart and in the news of her friends. Although she really wanted to use the compound element array she had just mastered to smash the guy next to her into scum, Futaba still didn't Demented enough to attack at this time, and although very, very unwilling to admit it, maybe...maybe...it seems...probably...I owe this guy a favor...

The girl, who was so upset that she was almost depressed, took a few deep breaths, forced herself to calm down, and then burst into a slight smile in this strangely silent atmosphere, and waved vigorously at Buffy Marshall with the corners of her mouth up: " Hey, Grand Duke, you probably fell asleep standing up, right? Give me a reaction~"

The latter's shoulders seemed to tremble slightly, but he didn't answer.

But in the absence of professional silencers, the broken silence is usually difficult to sustain...

Bah! !

Vernon Baroka suddenly raised his head, punched the table in front of him, and stared at the Duke of Marshall with his eyes burning with anger: "Do you have anything else to say? What else do you have?" Want to refute? Buffy Marshall!"

"Calm down, Vernon." Scorpius pressed his knees hard, turned his head and said in a deep voice to the former: "We can't be alarmist, this matter is still to be discussed..."

"Fucking calm! Fucking scaremongering!"

Grand Duke Baroca, whose spirit of chivalry is much higher than that of nobility, stood up abruptly, waved his thick arms and shouted loudly: "Sakfries, who should have been assassinated, has explained everything just now, if you are not deaf The words should be heard as clearly as I heard them. How many lives have been killed by this Buffy who is enshrined with us at the pinnacle of power? How many families have been destroyed? How many tragedies have been caused? Although I am not as smart as you A clever mind that is good at calculating, but at least one thing is beyond doubt..."

"Vernon!"

Grand Duke Simon got up and scolded: "Don't forget what this place is..."

"This is a place where crimes can be fully judged! Ximu!"

Grand Duke Baroka interrupted the other party with a roar, and like an angry lion, he pointed at Buffy Marshall and said in a loud voice: "With all the good deeds he has done, even if he dies ten times, he can't be liquidated. all of these!"

"Watch your words, Vernon Baroca..."

Grand Duke Marshall finally stopped being silent, and stared coldly at Grand Duke Baroka with his gloomy eyes that were almost dripping water: "You have no right to judge me, and you don't have the strength to kill me in battle. Even your proud rock lion riding in front of my Buffy Sword Knights is just a joke. If you really want to declare war, my army will smash the gate of your Lorgar city within a month, so give me Shut up!"

The icy bright silver aura swirled around him, overwhelming the aura of Grand Duke Baroka in an instant, making this powerful knight suffocate.

"What if we add the Crystal Wolf family?"

A crisp voice sounded beside Baroka, and the invisible magic power spread slightly. Emmeline, Grand Duke of Crystal Wolf, stood up slowly, and resisted Marshall's cold killing intent together with Grand Duke Baroka. A pair of red eyes Li was full of contempt: "Will you be able to wipe out the Wolf family together within a month? Uncle Buffy?"

"enough."

At this moment, Clever, who was sitting in the middle of the long table, finally spoke. He sighed a little tiredly: "What Simon meant just now is that this is the territory of the Violet family..."

As soon as the words fell, countless Bauhinia guards appeared silently from the shadows, and fixed their sights firmly on the three people who were about to draw swords.

"Your Majesty, please don't get me wrong. I didn't intend to do anything. I just wanted to wake up that guy who wasn't calm enough, but I didn't expect that even little Emmeline would be so impulsive."

Marshall slightly bowed to Clever, then calmed down in a relatively gentle way, and slowly sat back on the chair: "I want to emphasize that I have never done something that would kill me ten times. crimes, and don't endorse every word that comes out of the mouth of this so-called 'Sackfries', who, again, I have never met."

Emmeline and Vernon also sat back with sullen faces. The former bit his lip and said nothing, while the latter just sneered at what Marshall said just now, as if he wanted to say something...

"Then let's ask this Mr. Sack."

Futaba interrupted the swear words that Grand Duke Baluoka was about to blurt out, smiled sweetly at Grand Duke Marshall who had just sat down, and then turned to the lizard man behind Motan and asked, "I'm sorry, fat lizard Mr. Ren, can you prove your identity? It’s better to be stronger, otherwise you have to call yourself whatever the duke wants you to be called.”

Ignoring the girl's ridicule, Sac just said lightly: "I heard that the workers in the processing factory were captured by you, and each of them can prove that I am Sack Frith. If this is not enough, I I can also provide some storage points and transfer stations that you don’t know about. Let’s not talk about Mercury City. In order to hide my identity, I will go to Simon’s Collar and Crystal Wolf Collar every two months. There are many small chambers of commerce there. Everyone knows me, and the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce should also store my identity information. If it is the information about me before I joined Viper, you should be able to find me in the resident list of the Nismont Adventurers Guild. By the way, I don’t want to If you run too far, my adventurer's manual is stored in the vault of a certain steam consortium in Simon's territory, if you don't plan to execute me as soon as possible, you can send someone to follow me to get it."

"Wow, that's wonderful!"

Futaba clapped her little hands vigorously, and gave Sac a thumbs up: "You are great! I will try my best to advise His Majesty to give you a thief and a happy execution."

After Sack finished speaking, he continued to remain silent, but Mo Tan replied with a smile on his behalf: "I personally prefer to be hanged. Look at Mr. Sack's stomach. He will never suffer too much pain."

"Hey! Wouldn't it be better to cut off the head? Isn't it more enjoyable?"

"Isn't it better to leave the whole body?"

"How about using poison?"

"Miss Dema, you don't know that those potent poisons that can make people die as soon as possible have some sequelae, which will affect the appearance of the corpse."

"Wow, Annie, you know so much."

"Award, award~"

Sac, who was eagerly discussed how to be killed, rolled his eyes covertly. Although he knew that he would definitely die if he exposed his crimes, and had given up the idea of ​​living a long time ago, he was so enthusiastically discussed how to die. , this feeling is indeed a little subtle.

So Scorpius' interruption made him very relieved...

"What if he is indeed Sack Frith?"

Grand Duke Hussein, who finally calmed down, coughed dryly, and said to Futaba: "How can you guarantee that he is not lying?"

Before Futaba could speak this time, Sak took the initiative to say: "Although I don't know how far the investigation has gone, you can use the evidence you have already obtained to compare with what I know. Mr. Fei is a partnership, and he knows a lot of confidential things. There are two correspondences every year. At the beginning, for the sake of safety, I didn’t keep those things with me. When the Marshall family assassinated me, it was blown up. The house destroyed most of the useful evidence, but that's not all... Also, if you can cut off Mr. Buffy's connection with his territory, I can provide a place where the slave catchers are stationed. I don't know, in fact, even Mr. Buffy himself didn't know that I had secretly investigated it before, as one of the pre-prepared trump cards."

Buffy Marshall's pupils shrank violently, and then...

"Purple Mirror."

Clever straightened his body, and said in a deep voice: "The two guards who came with Buffy are invited to visit the Mage Tower. Under the premise of this, send people to block the Mercury Court, and do it now."

"Yes……"

The ethereal answer echoed in the air, and the undisguised footsteps in the shadows gradually faded away.

Grand Duke Dantes smiled bitterly, shook his head at Grand Duke Marshall and said, "Don't mind, Buffy, you should know that this is necessary..."

"I know." The latter just nodded expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice, "Although this is just a well-designed conspiracy, I am willing to follow His Majesty's arrangement."

Grand Duke Fernand, who had been silent all this time, was stunned for a moment, and then asked sharply, "Buffy, are you really innocent?"

Grand Duke Marshall nodded: "That's right."

"But everyone doesn't seem to think so now~"

Mo Tan shrugged his shoulders with a smile, spread his hands and said: "Aside from insisting on the completely untenable position of 'innocent', you have no longer defended yourself. If this is the case, everyone should stop wasting It's time..."

"guilty."

The crisp voice echoed in the Zijiu Hall, and several people stood up before they even realized what was going on.

"guilty."

Immediately after stood up was Grand Duke Emmeline of the Crystal Wolf.

"Not guilty, too hasty!"

Grand Duke Scorpius also stood up and said in a panic: "We should at least..."

"guilty."

The majestic and heavy voice of Grand Duke Baroca interrupted him.

"Abstain... abstain."

Grand Duke Fernand stepped on the cushion on the chair, his face pale.

"guilty."

Grand Duke Simon also stood up and let out an imperceptible sigh.

"guilty."

Grand Duke Dantes also got up with his cane, and shrugged a little tiredly: "At least we can only define it in this way now."

"Uh...then let me stand up first. Since I'm not qualified to express my opinion, then...not guilty?"

Mo Tan got up and smiled, then turned her head... and then lowered her head and smiled at Futaba.

"It seems that I have no need to express my opinion."

Emperor Clever was the last to stand up, his expression unprecedentedly solemn...

"I declare that the conviction outside the imperial code of law is valid, and Duke Buffy Marshall and his family are guilty."

Everyone, including the Grand Duke Marshall, bowed together: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Then, seven days later, this crime will be tried in the Hall of the Purple Nine... Everyone, go back and think about it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
