"We will definitely arrest him. Are you really so sure?"
Chu Yanke dare not accept this military order, this is not
32
You are making things more difficult for yourself. Baron Pi Ge and your family should rest in peace!
He quickly changed his words:
"Investigate as much as possible within your capabilities..."
The executioner asked the maid Toba:
"Toba, what did you find about this scene? Why did this happen?"
The maid took a deep breath, considered her words for a while, and said:
"I'm afraid it was suicide. Baron Pigge hired someone to assassinate the lord, and the executioner happened to be in the Dead Sea. The family felt guilty and blamed themselves, so they chose to commit suicide to repent."
The executioner nodded seriously:
"It makes sense. It's a very reasonable guess."
"..."
Chu Yan, Xia Nuoya, and Janet were all silent.
Chapter 17: Read Emotional Intelligence
The deaths of several nobles, including Baron Pi Ge, did not cause any trouble.
Many people suspected that Chu Yan did it, but there was no evidence, and since the executioner was present, she believed it was suicide.
The bloody murder in the entire manor ended here. No one cared, nor dared to care.
I was afraid that I would become one of those who committed suicide in such a bizarre way.
Chu Yan and the executioner returned to the lord's castle first and discussed the matter of filthy weapons in the pavilion in front of the yard.
This is a situation that Chu Yan, as a lord, must explain.
"Well, now it is up to the Lord to explain those weapons."
The lady executioner said as she sat opposite Chu Yan, her posture dignified and cultured, the way she sipped tea from the cup and saucer was elegant, which reminded Chu Yan of his guardian.
It’s just that the woman in front of him, whether it’s her mask and uniform, or her own temperament, exudes an unfathomable dangerous charm under her stern and solemn appearance that makes her difficult to approach.
She crossed her legs, waiting for Chu Yan's frank confession, and her long, slender legs in boots occasionally inadvertently brushed against his trouser legs.
“Madam Executioner, I sincerely hope that you can understand the actual conditions at the Dead Sea border.
In the past, clearing out ordinary monsters relied heavily on the nobles' household servants. Over time, casualties were inevitable, the overall reserve of troops was on a downward trend, and recruiting from outside was very difficult.
Therefore, we can only find ways to increase our military strength and transform the gifted people in the slums into a defensive force. This is urgent."
After Chu Yan explained the part about "the real dilemma of the Dead Sea", he paid attention to the other party's reaction, but unfortunately he could not observe any changes.
The pitch-black dragon-head mask covered half of the executioner's fair face. Perhaps this was part of the reason why the executioner gave people such an oppressive feeling.
When facing her, the audience does not know whether she is looking at you, and the audience can only guess it for himself.
Chu Yan had no choice but to continue his speech:
“Therefore, the plan to build a reserve force cannot be delayed. The environment in the Dead Sea is harsh, and the monsters are more powerful than those outside. We must build a defense team that can win battles and win tough battles!
The Dead Sea Armed Forces are the key to solving the problem. They can enable the weak to fight against monsters and maintain the stability of the defense line."
The maid Toba was full of complaints.
He forcibly renamed the filthy weapons as the Dead Sea Arms. Where did he learn this method of covering up one's mistake by making it more obvious?
But I have to admit that Chu Yan's words are still of a good standard.
First, clearly explain the various difficulties at hand, then explain the uniqueness and necessity of this method, and even change the name of the filthy weapon to make it sound like a regular regional weapon.
Of course, as a bystander, Toba also saw that the exposure of this filthy weapon was an accident. It was not in Chu Yan's plan at all. It was just an excuse he came up with on the spur of the moment.
In the past, Toba followed the executioner to check on the family trials of other dragon descendants, and basically left the work of explanation to the clerical servants.
The servant wrote out the manuscript, and the Dragonborn stumbled as he read it.
Although there are many outstanding people, considering Chu Yan's past reputation for laziness, his current performance is really surprising.
Toba was afraid that Tiffany would spoil him directly and pass him, so he took over the speech and said:
"Your Excellency, I have a few questions for you on behalf of the Executioner."
"Speaking!"
"Will the Dead Sea Arms cause the user to fall into depravity, causing physical deformation and becoming a new threat to the Dead Sea region?"
"Paradise City has a magic circle that suppresses forbidden power. It can even suppress true forbidden people, let alone users of the Dead Sea Arms."
Indeed, even the extremely dangerous forbidden ones are imprisoned here, and the users of filthy weapons are nothing.
Toba nodded slightly, indicating that the answer convinced her.
"The second question is, if these weapons are leaked to the outside world, it would be equivalent to the leakage of forbidden items. What should we do?"
"We will only distribute the Dead Sea weapons when the soldiers are going to deal with monsters. Once the monster clearing mission is completed, we will immediately take back the weapons and strictly manage them. There is absolutely no way they will be leaked.
If there is, it must be a rumor, it must be slander from the outside world, trying to frame the Dead Sea's defense work. This is the Dead Sea Armament specially designed to deal with monsters, it is not a forbidden item! "
After saying this, Chu Yan's expression became more solemn.
Although he was pretending to be ignorant, his expression was full of righteousness.
Toba: “…”
This Chu Yan...is really similar to Tiffany in personality in some ways.
Anyway, it counts
33
Just shut it up. At least it will sound better when you report it to your superiors.
No matter what, it was Lady Sosia who lent out her status as consul, so she could only accept whatever happened.
The maid handed the right of speech back to the masked woman. The executioner put down his beautiful legs that had been shaking gently, stood up and said:
“Okay, Lord, please continue the trial according to your own ideas, and the final results will be assessed at the end.
We will leave tomorrow morning. If the Lord still has work to do, please do as you please and don’t worry about me.”
The executioner took the maid back to her room to rest.
Janet appeared at this time and asked about the result with her eyes. Chu Yan made an "Oj8k" gesture.
Although this was good news, Janet found it strange. She was surprised:
"After the executioner found out about the contaminated weapons, he didn't say anything to you? So you approved it?"
This is like explaining the rationality of heretical scriptures in front of an Orthodox nun.
From a serious perspective, this is not a question of whether it can be recognized, but a question of whether you will be arrested after speaking out.
Chu Yan spread his hands and said proudly:
“That’s natural. After my eloquent speech, the executioner approved the initial attempt of the Dead Sea Armed Forces.
At least during my trial, those weapons can be used normally. As long as nothing goes wrong during this period, they should be able to continue for a long time in the future."
Janet heard the unfamiliar words and confirmed:
"Dead Sea Armed Forces? What is that? Aren't we talking about the same thing?"
Chu Yan corrected:
"Those weapons you smuggled are no longer called dirty weapons. As long as they are within the borders of the Dead Sea, they are called Dead Sea Arms!"
"…Is there any difference?"
"Yes, I said you are a bad guy. Isn't that unpleasant to hear?"
"The word bad guy is a compliment when applied to a taboo person."
Can't we stop worrying about these little things...
Chu Yan said helplessly:
"But in my eyes, the bad guys may be the forbidden ones, but the forbidden ones are not necessarily the bad guys. You just have a power that is easy to get out of control."
Janet had never seen anyone so tolerant towards taboo-holders. Others might just be saying polite words, but she believed that Chu Yan was speaking from the heart.
"The young lord knows that it's easy to lose control, and he can still say such things. Let's go back to calling him a bad guy. What's wrong with that?"
"If others hear you called a bad guy, they will definitely have a bad impression of you. But if I change this bad guy to a bad guy, what do you think?"
The apparent meaning doesn't seem to have changed much, but the concepts have been secretly changed.
A person who does not do good things may just be a cold-hearted person, but he is not necessarily a bad person.
But this change in name does change the first impression people give.
Janet seemed to understand why the name was changed to "Dead Sea Armed". Was it to deceive people by following the example of their superiors?
Although this cleverness is a little subtle, Janet's admiration is real:
"How can you be so clever in this regard? I thought the executioner wanted you to use your body in exchange for leniency."
These words reminded Chu Yan of the reason why he appeared here.
"How could that be? She was impressed by my ability."
......
In the executioner's room.
The maid Toba is talking to her master through the Philosopher's Stone, reporting on what has happened over the past few days.
The image from Sosia's side was projected into the room through magic.
It is naturally impossible for the executioner to appear in two places at the same time, so these days, Sosia, who was on vacation, went directly back to her own territory to relax.
It was a private beach with southern scenery. Sosia was wearing a bikini swimsuit. The material was smaller than the size of a palm, but it protected her plump and proud figure.
After listening to Toba's report, Sosia nodded and said:
"Tiffany is more restrained than I thought. She just used my identity to give that kid a perfect score for the midterm exam. It seems I wronged you, Tiffany~"
Sosia greeted the "Executioner" lady on the other side of the Philosopher's Stone.
Tiffany said:
"You think I would do anything out of line? After all, with your status, I would be more restrained.
I will walk around the castle for a while, you two can chat first."
After Tiffany left the room, Sosiah recalled the details and asked while drinking coconut juice:
"The Baron's family massacre, have you found the murderer? I ran into such a terrible thing during my search."
"The murderer...is Miss Tiffany."
"Pfft! Ahem!"
Sosia choked, and coconut juice flowed out from the corners of her red lips and dripped onto her plump bikini.
"Didn't you say that I was the only one who got a perfect score on the midterm using my identity?"
"Miss Tiffany took off the executioner's uniform when she committed the crime and said she was the one who did it."
"...It seems that she lived up to my trust in her and did a lot of extraordinary things."
Suo Xiya's head hurt. She rubbed her temples and continued to recall the details she had just explained. She asked:
"And what is the 'Dead Sea Armed Forces'? I've never heard of it before."
Toba didn't expect his master to notice the abnormality so quickly, so he had to put the weapon away.
