Ye Lan sneered, "The Holy See is merely an accomplice of Loen. The Holy See protects the rights of life, but in Loen, puppets are not considered life. Only when the puppets are outside can they receive the protection of the Holy See, but where they are most needed, they are our enemies."

But Lim didn't know what to say, so they all turned their eyes to Aesop.

Aesop's expression didn't change. To be honest, he wasn't very interested in this kind of thing. After all, it had nothing to do with him. He just asked, "You haven't told me where my puppet went yet."

Ye Lan felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Aesop say "my puppet", but he knew that Aesop was right, so he still answered.

"About a month ago, Miss Noren came here and was noticed by a very prestigious upper-class person. That person thought Miss Noren was also one of Rune's puppets, so he wanted to take her away."

Hearing this, the three of them guessed something, but still asked, "And then?"

Ye Lan raised his head and looked at the ceiling, his eyes full of longing.

"That strike pierced through the stars."

Ye Lan said softly.

"I've never seen anything so beautiful as the Armstrong Cyclone Armstrong Cannon."

Ganqiu and Kelim were also surprised. It was the first time they heard the full name of this cannon from someone other than Aesop.

"So... is that person dead?" Kelim asked cautiously.

"No, Miss Norn didn't hit him hard." Ye Lan shook his head slowly, "It was just a slight hit."

"Oh, it's not the big head." Gan Qiu nodded, and then subconsciously felt something was wrong, "Then which head is it?"

One, two, three, fair, fair! (Part 3)

After understanding the whole story, Aesop didn't say much and prepared to leave.

Ye Lan originally didn't want to let him leave, but when he saw Aesop walk to the door and just knock on the reinforced iron door with his hand, and the iron door opened, he realized that it was impossible for him to stop this seemingly ordinary guy.

Come to think of it, if he was really an ordinary person, how could he have created such an outstanding puppet like Norn?

He and I are not even on the same level...

A feeling of frustration flashed through Ye Lan's heartless mind, but he quickly cheered up and immediately caught up with the three people who had just left.

"Where are you going?" Ye Lan asked.

Aesop didn't stop, but just glanced back at him and said, "Go and solve the problem."

"To solve a problem?" Ye Lan was a little confused. "Where to solve the problem? What problem to solve?"

"That's the problem you just mentioned." Aesop said, "Isn't it that the reason this matter has become so serious is because my puppet accidentally hurt someone? Then let's go find that person now."

"and then?"

"What then?"

Ye Lan was slightly stunned: "How do you want to solve it?"

"It's not a big deal." Aesop said casually, "Wouldn't it be solved if we just had a good talk with him?"

Ye Lan's expression suddenly became as if he was choked. "You're telling me this isn't a big deal? All the puppets in Loen City went on strike because of Miss Noren. And the one who was injured by Miss Noren was the son of a duke! And that's where he was injured! Now the Vatican has sent knights, and you're telling me this isn't a big deal?!"

“It’s really not a big deal.”

Aesop was not pretending, he really didn't think it mattered. In his opinion, the only major events were those that could be recorded in history books.

For example, wars, massacres, and resistances, which have not resulted in any loss of life, are not considered big events?

But to Ye Lan, this was indeed a bit outrageous.

But what exactly does this guy plan to do? Why does he have to go find the Duke's son?

Ye Lan thought about it, and then his not-so-bright head also had an answer.

According to the laws of the Vatican, Miss Nolen was created by Aesop, so Aesop must be responsible for her actions. If he does not do something, he will definitely be implicated by Miss Nolen.

That's why he went to find the Duke's son, hoping to plead with him so that he could get himself out of this situation!

Thinking of this, Ye Lan couldn't help but clench his fists until they made a crackling sound.

In his mind, he had already imagined this guy groveling and begging for peace in front of the hateful Duke's son, and then getting himself out of it cleanly and without any responsibility at the cost of betraying Miss Nolen!

That's for sure!

"A person like Miss Noren! Why would there be a creator like you!" Ye Lan shouted at Aesop, "Why would someone like you create Miss Noren!"

Aesop thought about it seriously, and then said to Ye Lan, "This was actually an accident. I didn't want it to happen. No one told me that such a thing would require protective measures."

This sentence made Ye Lan so angry that he felt dizzy and wanted to rush forward and fight with Aesop immediately.

But when Ganqiu and Kelim heard the conversation between the two, they always felt something was strange.

"It seems...they are not talking about the same thing." Kelim scratched his head.

"I think so too." Gan Qiu nodded in agreement.

"But nothing will happen, right?" Lim was still worried. "What does Aesop want to do by going to see that person?"

"Then I don't know." Gan Qiu spread his hands, not really caring. "But Aesop is a good guy, he will definitely not do anything excessive. Besides, we are watching him."

Kelim looked at Ganqiu, then looked at himself, and his brows became more and more uneasy.

The Duke's mansion was not difficult to find; it was the largest one in Loen City.

After the four arrived, Aesop knocked on the door directly and then explained his purpose to the servant inside.

The servant took a look at Aesop and found that he was dressed very well and had an extraordinary demeanor. He must be a noble magician, so he nodded and led the four people in.

As soon as he entered the mansion, Ye Lan trembled with fear.

After all, in a sense, this is the enemy's base camp, and he is deep behind enemy lines.

But there's no way, this is all for Miss Nolen!

Don't worry, Miss Nolen, if I find out that this despicable man wants to protect himself by betraying you, I will immediately go up and die with him!

Ye Lan was so moved by himself thinking this. If the puppet could be free from tears, he would have been in tears by now.

Soon, the servant brought four people to a fat man sitting in a wheelchair with his entire lower body wrapped in gauze.

The fat man's face was gloomy and he looked very violent because of the loss of his wisdom.

He stared at Aesop intently, and then slowly asked: "Who are you? I don't know you."

"You don't know me, but I'm related to you."

"what relationship."

Aesop pointed at the fat man's lower body and said, "Your little head was broken by my toy."

The fat man was slightly stunned. He didn't react at first. He was stunned for a full half minute before he understood what Aesop meant.

"Asshole!" The fat man slammed his wheelchair, spitting out. "Are you the creator of that beastly puppet?!"

"Huh? My puppet is clearly in human form." Aesop said, "Not a beast. I'm not a Fury control."

"You, you, you..." The fat man didn't expect Aesop to dare to talk nonsense here. He was so angry that his whole body was shaking. But as he was shaking, he suddenly remembered something, and then his expression gradually became ferocious. "So that's why I know why you came to me... You want a letter of understanding, right?"

Now that the Holy See has intervened, if the Holy See does not want to pursue the maker of the puppet, he must sign a letter of understanding.

But how could the fat man understand? He wanted to tear Aesop Lianlang and that abominable puppet into pieces!

But he did not reject Aesop at the first time. Instead, he wanted Aesop to do something to ease the hatred in his heart.

He wanted to repay Aesop double for the pain and humiliation he had suffered!

"Haha, you want me to sign a letter of apology, right?" The fat man leaned back in his chair and squinted at Aesop. "Let me see what you want to say."

Aesop nodded and said, "That's exactly why I came here. My teacher once taught me that the only truth in this world is fairness, fairness, and fairness. For example, if you do something wrong, you must take the corresponding responsibility."

Hearing this, Ye Lan's heart sank. He felt that Aesop's next sentence would be to ask for mercy, and he couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Miss Nolen, your maker...why doesn't he look like you!

The fat man's smile became more and more ferocious: "So?"

"So..." Aesop said slowly, "You tried to rape my toy, which made me very angry. How are you going to compensate me?"

Everyone was stunned.

One Two Four Gunara Dark Magic!

Because Aesop's words were so shocking, everyone present was stunned for a while before they reacted.

This is so unexpected!

The Duke's son's expression changed from ferocious to... even more ferocious, even a little distorted: "What are you talking about?!"

Aesop repeated his words again: "You tried to rape my toy, which made me very angry. How are you going to compensate me?"

There was no fear in his expression at all, which made the Duke's son a little confused about where he came from.

Is this guy seriously ill?

Where did it come from?

The Duke's son tried hard not to explode, but instead gritted his teeth and said, "Let me think this through. Your puppet hurt me so badly, and you want me to compensate you?"

"Yes."

"Don't you think you underestimated me?" The Duke's son slammed the table, and the guards rushed up in unison, looking at Aesop with unfriendly faces, as if they would draw their swords in the next second.

This scared Ye Lan quite a bit, but he found that the other three were quite calm, as if they were not afraid of the scene at all.

At most, they were just helpless, but that only came from Ganqiu and Kolim. Aesop's expression did not change at all, and he even spoke slowly.

"I know you're anxious, but please don't be impatient." Aesop raised his hand to stop the Duke's son, and then said slowly, "Listen to me first, let me explain the truth to you clearly."

The Duke's son looked at Aesop coldly, already thinking in his heart that there was no way he could let this crazy person leave the mansion safely, otherwise where would his face be? But before that, he really wanted to hear what Aesop would say.

"This is what happened." Aesop pushed up the non-existent glasses on his nose, trying to make himself more like an academic magician who could convince others with reason. "My toy hurt you. That's between you and her. Is that okay?"

The Duke's son sneered twice: "Oh, are you already thinking of shirking responsibility?"

"No, I'm not shirking responsibility, but this is how it should be," Aesop said. "She is already an independent individual with her own thoughts. I shouldn't be held responsible for her actions. So, if she hurt you and you want to go after her, it has nothing to do with me."

After hearing this, Ye Lan immediately became anxious. He thought Aesop would come up with some profound remarks, but he didn't expect that he was still thinking of betraying Miss Nolen in exchange for his own safety.

The Duke's son continued coldly, "You mean, even if I caught her and skinned her, it would have nothing to do with you, right?"

He originally thought that Aesop would admit it, but unexpectedly Aesop shook his head and said, "That won't work."

This sudden "That won't work" stunned everyone present.

The Duke's son didn't react: "Why not?"

"She is my toy. If you want to break her, it must have something to do with me," Aesop replied.

"But you just said that she is an independent individual with her own thoughts and has nothing to do with you anymore!"

"Yes, she is an independent individual with her own thoughts. If she hurt you, that's her problem, not mine." Aesop said seriously, "But she is indeed my toy. If you want to hurt her, then that has something to do with me. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"

The Duke's son was a little confused. He stared at Aesop in a daze, feeling as if something was wrong, but also as if nothing was wrong.

Even Ye Lan, Gan Qiu and Kelim had confused expressions on their faces.

"You... this is not right!" said the Duke's son.

"What's wrong with this?" Aesop asked.

"This, this, this is fucking wrong!" The Duke's son was furious. "Are you fucking kidding me?!"

"I'm not teasing you. I'm just reasoning with you." Aesop spread his hands and said, "If you think something is wrong, you can point it out directly. Otherwise, you'll be the one making unreasonable arguments and making unreasonable demands. And if you make unreasonable arguments and make unreasonable demands, I won't talk to you properly anymore."

If the Duke's son had been a bit more educated, he would have easily spotted the logical flaws in Aesop's words. Unfortunately, he didn't read at all. As a hereditary puppeteer... ahem, the heir of a puppet family, just knowing how to play with puppets was enough. So, in a rage, the Duke's son refused to reason with Aesop and slammed the table... not really, but he slammed it anyway.

"You bastard, you want to play with me, right?! Tie him up!" The Duke's son ordered his men with a ferocious look on his face. "Before handing him over to the church, you must cripple this idiot... No, don't hand him over to the church, let me deal with him myself!"

The guard immediately drew his sword and rushed towards Aesop.

Ye Lan was startled. He subconsciously grabbed Aesop and wanted to take Aesop away, but he found that his movements were extremely slow and even raising his hands became very difficult.

It wasn't just him. Everyone now had similar symptoms. The guards who rushed towards Aesop seemed to have suddenly pressed the pause button. Everyone froze in place, with only their eyeballs moving.

Even with a "bang", Kelim fell from the sky.

"Aesop! You attacked me indiscriminately!"

Aesop then relaxed some of the restrictions, allowing Kelim to fly again, and then looked at the Duke's son.
