Heart of the Castle

Chapter 61 Trial and Expulsion

The badge on Grace's palm is obviously old, but it can still be seen that the workmanship is quite exquisite. The main material of the badge is silver, and a little unknown precious metal is also mixed.The shape is in the shape of a shield, and the dark red pattern in the center of the shield forms the image of a hunter with big strides.

Li Wei didn't recognize this badge, but he still took it with both hands, and then pretended to recognize it.The string in his heart was tense, and he really didn't want the sound coming from his ear to be an embarrassing laugh.

Just when he was helpless holding the parchment, the voice of the old magician suddenly appeared in his heart, helping him decipher what was recorded on the parchment.This popular language among nobles actually belongs to a very elementary alchemy language. As a master of alchemy, Mr. Dish can interpret it very easily.

There are not too many things recorded on the parchment scroll, but it is very organized. The time and place where the incident happened are written very clearly. In just a few lines, it is written how Huck step by step changed from being one of the leaders of the refugee camp to becoming one of the leaders of the refugee camp. The only dictator in power in the camp.Li Wei couldn't help but be moved by the blood hidden between the words.

"Little guy, I don't know this badge." The old magician's voice finally sounded, and Li Wei's heart sank, but he heard the old magician continue, "There are so many nobles, big and small, who can remember Which family do those badges represent? But judging from the composition of this badge, the shield represents the responsibility and honor of guarding one side of the land. It must be a nobleman above the baron rank and owning an actual territory; The hunter should be the founder of this family, I vaguely remember seeing a similar badge before I entered the great field of alchemy...Little guy, can you ask if he is a branch of the Magic Mountain family?"

"The Magic Mountain Family?" Li Wei had never heard the name before, so he repeated it involuntarily. His voice was quite low, but it was enough for Grace, who had a very keen sense.

An ecstatic expression flashed across Grace's face. To make him lose his composure, of course, he had confirmed Li Wei's identity in his heart.

"An ancient family, he really is a child of an ancient family! It is not very unusual to recognize the family emblem of the big stride hunter. Anyone who is familiar with coat of arms can understand this family with a long history. But it is clear Knowing that the Striders are in fact a branch of the Mountain family is beyond the ordinary. It is a secret even among many nobles."

Grace desperately suppressed the excitement in his heart, winked at Li Wei, then turned to Village Chief Huck and the others, and said in an indifferent voice: "Huck, don't you plead guilty in front of Lord Li Wei? "

Ever since Grace took out the badge, Village Chief Huck's face became very bitter. He never thought that the adventurer he hired with a lot of money would actually be a nobleman.You must know that no matter whether he owns a territory or not, noble lords can get an annuity in the treasury. This annuity may not be very generous, but it is not comparable to the meager employment fees of adventurers.

But even though he knew that things were not good, Village Chief Hake was still unwilling to admit defeat. He reached out to his cronies and struggled to stand up.

"Grace, what are you rascal talking about? What are you talking about, Lord Levi? He is just a mere knight servant. I, Master Huck, am the head of a village, and my status is much higher than him! What name does he have? Judge me?"

"It's so ugly, Huck, how did your self-appointed village chief come here? Do you still want to rely on this denial?" Grace sneered contemptuously, and then raised the badge of the big stride hunter in his hand.

"Lord Li Wei's status is beyond words, but with my honorable status as the second heir of the Tully family guarding the southern border, Sir Grace, can't I still judge you, the so-called village chief?"

Village Chief Huck's obese body kept trembling, and his lips had turned black due to fright, but he was very aware of the magnitude of the crime he had committed, so he roared at the top of his voice.

"Forged, your badge is forged, has anyone heard of the name of the Tully family? It's ridiculous, Grace, you are a villain among adventurers, and you still want to pretend to be a nobleman?"

As Village Chief Hake spoke, he rolled his small eyes around in a murmur, hoping to gain the support of his cronies.However, as far as he could see, all his confidantes backed away with pale faces, wishing to squeeze their bodies into the villagers.

No one dared to question Grace's statement, and that exquisite badge has dispelled most people's doubts.Most of these villagers are honest country bumpkins. In their minds, every noble and lord is sacred and inviolable, not much less authoritative than the heavenly Father God, and they cannot be questioned at all.

The few villagers who were born as adventurers thought a little more. They knew very well the reputation of the witcher archer Grace, and of course had doubts about the noble status claimed by this senior adventurer.However, they knew more clearly that the crime of impersonating a nobleman was very serious, and even hanging was probably a more merciful punishment.Since Grace took out the badge declaring himself a nobleman as proof, there is only one way for those who want to question it, and that is to find a way to escape under his sharp arrow.

Without getting any response, Huck suddenly had greasy sweat rolling down his face, and looked at Grace with fear in his eyes. His plump lips opened and closed a few times, but he couldn't even utter a word.

Looking at the distressed appearance of the fat village chief Huck who was still smiling sinisterly just now, the ranger Hua Lun felt the sullen breath in his chest finally come out. Thinking of the miserable experience of being driven out of the camp by Huck, he couldn't help but groan. Crowd his fists, trying to suppress that kind of heartfelt joy.There was a sudden slight pain in his arm. Hua Lun turned his head and found that the eyes of the female thief Martha were also full of uncontrollable joy.

Seeing that Village Chief Huck was utterly terrified, but still stubbornly refused to plead guilty, Grace's eyes flashed a murderous intent.With a flick of his wrist, the silver fir longbow on his shoulders slipped into his palm, and then the bowstring creaked, and he had pulled it into the shape of a full moon, and the straight arrow hit it immediately.

The whole movement did not take more than two seconds. With this astonishing high speed, even close enemies would be caught off guard. Grace, the demon hunter, really deserved his reputation.

Li Wei admired in his heart, but he knew very well that his so-called adult status was definitely caused by Grace's misunderstanding.It's nothing to kill the fat head and big ears of Village Chief Huck, but Li Wei still felt that his name was not right, so he said softly: "Sir Grace, we have no right to judge the charges of Village Chief Huck. , and have no right to kill him."

"Lord Li Wei..." Grace hesitated to speak, but soon he lowered his longbow to the ground. In his mind, Li Wei, a child of this ancient family, was obviously unwilling to let his identity be exposed, so It's okay to let a guy like Village Chief Huck go.

"Huck, this parchment has written your crimes very clearly. Based on the evidence above, it is not too much to hang you." Levi walked from behind Grace, with a young face. It has a dignified expression on it.

Huck's body trembled, and he raised his head as if he wanted to argue, but when he saw Levi's indifferent eyes, he closed his mouth very smartly.

Those are the eyes of someone who doesn't take his life seriously, the eyes of someone who controls everything, the eyes of an absolute superior!

"On behalf of Viscount Lane, I now sentence you and your cronies to exile. Before the sun rises to the treetops, I don't want to see any of you again." Levi said every word He spoke very slowly, which was originally a manifestation of his efforts to control his nervous mood, but it was an extremely majestic and aristocratic tone in the ears of others. Regarding the identity of this indescribable young man, he couldn't help but sigh again. There is a new guess.

He was just expelled from the refugee camp, which is quite lenient for the crimes committed by Huck and others.However, when a disaster strikes, being kicked out often means a tragic ending. The cronies of Village Chief Hake uttered horrified cries and fell to the ground begging for Li Wei's forgiveness.

The young knight attendant looked at these ugly people coldly, handed the parchment to the ranger Warren, and said to each person who climbed up in front of him and stretched out his hands: "Think about it, during this time you have all What did you do? If I announce your crimes to all the villagers now, then I am afraid that even if you want to leave here, you will not be able to do so."

The sound of crying stopped, and the confidantes of Village Chief Hake looked at each other in horror, got up and ran towards their own house. They no longer want to stay here, but want to roll as much Take the riches that have been exploited from the villagers.

Of course, this was not an easy task. The deadline Li Wei gave them to leave was when the sun rose above the treetops, and now there was a faint light in the thick fog in the east.
