Successors of all mankind

That remains to be seen.

Chapter 39 I Refusal

After a moment's hesitation, the old man chose to ignore this point.

They pretended not to hear it at all.

Although he himself knew that he might just be repeating the same dead loop that countless others had repeated before.

But that's just how people are, even those who consider themselves human.

After letting out a long sigh, the old man only hoped that his biological son wouldn't cause him any trouble.

However, after teaching for so many years, I only left for a short while.

It seems unlikely that anything bad will happen.

Shouldn't it be?

A sudden, inexplicable panic gripped the old man. As if sensing his unease, a voice reassured him:

"Don't worry, our slave Nor is only this big. There's no threat that can easily defeat you or Hudson."

The old man felt slightly relieved.

His pupils then contracted sharply.

The voice wasn't from a knight, but coming from a hand?!

That voice rang out again:

"Heh heh, but as for us slaves, Nor, we don't know!"

-----------------

In the outer city of Numenor.

The captain of Team Seven, who had been living in fear, finally received his savior.

A noble baron has personally set foot here.

Upon seeing the arrival of a truly influential figure, the garrison breathed a sigh of relief.

The two men at the gate also lowered their heads unconsciously.

Only Yu Le remained sitting casually on the sofa.

A sun umbrella was also placed over their heads.

Although the sun was not scorching.

Upon meeting, the other person frowned slightly.

"Jules Robespierre?"

“Yes, I am Jules Robespierre. So, is the hospitality of Numenor too rude? I have been made to wait here for so long before someone finally comes to speak?”

The overly standard Beijing accent made the other person frown even more.

Is this really a lowly person in disguise?

Although the face really does resemble it...

The Hudson boy is pushing for a public trial against the man in front of him, demanding a general assembly of nobles.

He believed that the person who offended him was a fake nobleman!

Based on the information he received, it seemed that the person in front of him had killed Hudson's dog.

Thinking about it, he glanced back at the bodies of the two tax collectors.

It's natural to be angry when a dog is beaten to death.

So he didn't think much when he came over. That was indeed his job.

However, upon arriving at the scene, he vaguely realized that things might be much more complicated than he had imagined.

An overseas nobleman who speaks with the accent of the royal capital and doesn't sound like a nobleman at all...

What exactly is hidden inside?

"Mr. Jules, if I may ask, did you study at the Royal University?"

“No, I have my own teachers. This is also my first time visiting your land. But I didn’t expect so many unexpected things to happen.”

Yu Le didn't intend to give the other person a direct answer, because he still didn't know anything.

He tried to pull the initiative back to his side:

"So, what brings you here?"

The other person turned around and pointed to the corpses of Lord Xun and his companion, saying:

"Mr. Jules, you killed our men, openly murdered two nobles on the land of Numenor. I suppose it is I who should be asking you, what is your reason?"

"Ah, let me introduce myself first. I am Colley Bird, you may call me Baron Colley. I am one of the vice judges of the Slumdogor Court."

"According to the law, you killed a nobleman. I need a reasonable explanation from you. Otherwise, please leave."

Have they arrived?

Yu Le narrowed his eyes slightly and then said:

"I was saved by someone behind me by accident, but I unexpectedly discovered that this lord and tax collector seemed to have tampered with the magic device at settlement 386."

Upon hearing that the divine machine had been tampered with, the Baron raised an eyebrow and whistled.

“Mr. Jules, you can’t fabricate things without evidence. That’s a serious crime!”

Yu Le, however, smiled without much reaction:

“If that’s the case, I think you shouldn’t be asking me, but rather those two guys, or rather, the people behind them!”

Is this it?

The baron subconsciously glanced back at one of the tallest and largest buildings in Slave Nor.

But if that's the case, isn't this move incredibly stupid?

Would that old fox really allow such a stupid thing to happen?

The baron, deep in thought, turned back to look at Yu Ledao:

"But you still haven't answered why you openly shot a nobleman! Even Robespierre is not above our law, is he?"

"I'm not very familiar with your laws, but I think I have the right to self-defense no matter what, right?"

What do you mean?

"They wanted to kill me to silence me because they were surprised to find that their plan had been discovered by a nobleman they couldn't afford to offend."

Settlement 386 must be involved in something big, and the people behind these two guys certainly don't want it to come to light.

Since that's the case, then I'll thoroughly churn the water!

See if we can let someone they don't want to know know!

"So, I'd like to ask you, Baron, what exactly does it mean that the nobles of Nol have attacked me? Are they trying to start a war?"

The Baron accepted the hat with ease.

“Mr. Jules, the friendship between the two kingdoms is absolutely unbreakable. Nothing can affect or change that. In fact, the two princesses had a very friendly exchange not long ago.”

"This gives all our citizens the confidence that the friendship between our two nations will last as long as the friendship between the two princesses!"

"But Mr. Jules, please understand that we cannot make a judgment on the life and death of two nobles based solely on your word."

As he spoke, he turned to the side and said:

"So please come with me first."

Yu Le frowned slightly; this person was difficult to deal with.

So he stood up and said:

"Of course, but I require them to come with me. Otherwise, I'm worried you might not be very friendly to them."

He glanced at the two subservient third-class people behind Yu Le.

The baron readily agreed:

"Of course, no problem at all!"

Only then did Yu Le finally get into the carriage that he had brought.

It's very simple, with nothing luxurious about it.

The air freshener in the car smelled really nice.

They waited until they were seated in the back of the Baron's private car.

The Baron then smiled and said to Yu Le:

"The young master of the Hudson family is pushing for a public trial of you. He is demanding a meeting of nobles, and given the power of the Hudson family, more than half of the nobles will surely agree."

You're telling me this?

What does he want to do?

Or perhaps he is the one the other side doesn't want them to know?

Seeing Yu Le looking at himself.

The other party laughed even harder:

“I have a friend who is fortunate enough to possess a divine machine from across the strait. If I am not mistaken, it should be from a merchant guild under the Robespierre family.”

"So, I wonder if you could go and take a look? If it can be fixed, I think my friend would be happy to offer you any help he can."

"For example, how about vetoing this aristocratic gathering that's targeting you? What do you think?"

“After all, you’ve fixed the magic weapon Robespierre provided, so Hudson’s accusations are naturally unfounded.”

After saying that, the Baron leaned back comfortably on the leather sofa behind him.

This is the skin of a dragon beast. Although it is only a branch of the earth dragon, it is still his favorite.

Because this was not only something he had personally fought his way back, but also a rare treasure that was seldom seen in the entire slave community of Nor.

He believed he had the situation under control.

But Yu Le gave him an unexpected answer.

“If he wants to convene a noble assembly, then let him go. What, can we, the slave Nor, disregard justice and forcibly execute a foreign noble?”

"Do you dare?"

"And what does your friend's business have to do with me? Let him go find who gave it to him. Why are you coming to me? Do you think I'm the kind of person who meddles in these kinds of things?"

The Baron had just leaned back on the sofa when he instantly bounced back.

For the first time, he seriously examined the true and false nobleman before him, a person he couldn't understand.

Chapter 40 The Divine Judgment

Accepting the other party's proposal means accepting their control.

And the worst part is that accepting the other party's suggestion is tantamount to telling them that you have something to hide.

This is absolutely unacceptable for Yule, whose situation is already precarious.

His greatest reliance now is his status as a living person who has traveled through time.

He can indeed pass the test regarding the purity of the other party's genes, which serve as the legitimate foundation.

Although Yu Le didn't know how close he was to the humans these people described.

However, there is at least a 30% guarantee.

Therefore, Yule's true way out is only one thing—non-cooperation, insisting on its noble status, trying to get the other party to force it to verify its purity, and then using this as a great humiliation for the nobles to retaliate.

However, this is still very passive.

I never had enough strong cards to guarantee my safety and countermeasures...
