Chapter 46: Court Hearing
It's not uncommon for people who can deceive the Evil Pact to discern spells, but they can also do tricks and discern spells under the watchful eye of a full six legendary professions (the royal family also has three......
I'm afraid that's not true.
Even if the three demon gods of hell are disguised as mortals, they can't even think of fooling so many legendary professionals under the suppression of the plane.
So despite the doubts in their hearts, Farah and the others still did not raise doubts.
They wanted to see what tricks this guy would play in the courtroom.
However, when Clark opened his mouth for the first time in the courtroom, what he said shocked the whole of Rugoin once again.
He claims that "Foxhead", "Rainbow Miss" and "Horn Clark" are all nicknames for himself!
This statement, which amounted to almost an insult to IQ, was of course unanimously refuted and angrily rebuked by all those present.
However, when the scolding subsided, his words caused all the people in the court to fall into silence collectively.
At that time, this barbarian professional with a face full of flesh and a scar raised his chin arrogantly, looked around at everyone in the audience, and then said in an extremely indifferent and disdainful tone: "From beginning to end, I am the only one who appears in front of you, and the so-called 'fox head' and 'color feather' are said to exist, but who of you can prove it?" ”
As soon as the words ended, the courtroom fell silent, and after a few minutes, the entire audience erupted in an uproar, almost toppling the Arabic round ceiling of the courtroom.
The magistrate almost snapped the gavel before he could barely silence the courtroom again.
His words can be said to have just hit the weakness of the other three major forces, they have indeed never seen the so-called "Fox Head Fox" and "Colorful Feather Mister".
All the evidence they learned of the existence of these two men came only from some epistolary titles, and there was no actual evidence to prove that these two men were real living people.
And since they couldn't prove the real existence of these two people, how could the letter be explained?
The texts clearly written on the secret letter, after being deciphered by Farah and Dragognam, are indeed "Foxhead Fox" and "Rainbow Feather Mister", right?
However, Clark's defense of the letter was rather understated: "I was just a little curious about Sakaram's teachings, so I just made up a letter for myself, what?" Is it illegal to write a letter to yourself? ”
Jayhain almost blew his lungs in the face of Clark's quibble, but he couldn't refute the other party's statement, because he couldn't prove that "Foxhead" and "Rainbow Feather Mister" were real.
At the end of the trial, the king's face was almost the color of pig's liver, and his hands almost broke off the gold cufflinks on his sleeves.
However, the King's anger did nothing to help the Judgment, and even the three Guardians suddenly realized how superficial their knowledge of the Order, which had risen almost overnight.
The trial ended with a magistrate convicting Clark of "unauthorized use and learning of *** writing", and Clark was eventually sentenced to 300 lashes and a fine of 4,000 gold coins.
......
Under normal circumstances, no matter how open Lu Gaoyin's atmosphere is and how sound the legal system is, if you dare to scold the king like this, it will not end well.
However, Clark walked into the Department of Justice and turned himself in in front of everyone, and he himself was the "only" leader of another large force in the city.
In such a situation, even an arrogant Jayhain would not dare to mess around, unless he wanted a riot in the harbor area, and a riot that was generally sympathetic to the inhabitants of the rest of the city.
So, after receiving the whip and paying the fine, Clark walked out of the front door of the Judicial Hall with a generous attitude.
Well... Walked out amid the complicated gazes of the three Guardians and the hateful gaze of King Jayha.
Since then, both the royal family and the three guardians have begun to increase their efforts to gather information and intelligence on this new organization, but they have not been able to collect more complete information in any way.
They could only be sure that there were indeed two other leaders of the organization, for all the written communications they could get their hands on showed three people of different personalities giving orders to the other members of the organization.
However, they still do not have any other evidence to support this conclusion......
......
"Whew......" Farah took a breath, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, looking at Xue Hua who was still digesting this information on the other side, and couldn't help but turn his head and look at Kane.
Today's Lu Gaoyin, the complexity of its situation, is really a little chilling.
There are desert mercenaries who fully support the royal family and have been hiding in the shadows, and even how many leaders there are can only be guessed by the people's defense front.
There are also hidden cultists in the city, and even cultists who are rumored to have been involved with the People's Protection Front.
All of this had been a frozen explosive potion before, but now, the message of the Tomb of Talasya and the appearance of the King's Staff were like a fierce fire, beginning to quickly thaw this powerful potion.
I don't know how many eyes are staring at this huge cake in the open and in the dark.
And everyone wants to enjoy it alone.
As guardians, all they can do is to solve this matter in the shortest possible time, find the tomb of Ta Rasha, and declare their ownership of the tomb in the name of the council.
And to do that, the only thing they can rely on now is the young man in front of them.
It is almost impossible for other professionals to provide them with any clues after being promised heavy profits by Jie Haiyin, and the only one who can turn this stalemate around is Xue Hua at present.
Just as the carriage fell into silence, the driver's voice came from the front.
"Sir, we're here."
"Oh, okay, let's go down, it's quiet enough, and it's far away from the mage, there shouldn't be any watchers."
Farah nodded, pushed the door open, and walked down.
"Do you believe that 'fox' like that? Farad? Kane followed him, led by Sothia, and slowly got out of the car, asking as he walked.
"It's better to believe it than not to believe it, now in this situation, tsk......" Farah shook his head, a helpless expression on his face.
Xue Hua also got out of the car after Sothia, he was still thinking about some questions about the organization, but as soon as he got out of the car, he found himself standing in front of a huge three-story "wooden" building.
This made him open his mouth wide in surprise.
You know, in the desert, wood is a very rare resource!
Ordinary people are reluctant to use it to build a house, let alone a three-storey tavern!
What kind of tavern is this? Could it be the private property of the children of the royal family?
Or is it a meeting place set up by a big businessman?
"Haha! Don't open your mouth so wide, Xue, the owner of this tavern is a timber merchant who traveled the Curast route by sea and land, this guy made a lot of money in his early years, so after returning from the last trip to the sea, he deliberately left a boatload of timber and built this tavern for his wife......"
"Hey... It's just a pity, this boss is also a miserable person, less than a month after the tavern was built, countless monsters appeared in the sewers of Lu Gaoin, and the owner of the tavern and their son, who was the captain of the city guard, died one after another in the mouth of the monster, leaving only the proprietress alone, guarding this tavern alone......"
Farah took the lead while walking in front, and turned back to explain to Xue Hua, who was still in shock, but at the end, his tone was inevitably a little embarrassed.
I see, that's really unlucky......
Xue Hua also shook his head with a sigh.
But then, his expression was suddenly stunned.
Wait a minute!
Why does this plot sound so familiar?
What did Farah just say, what is the name of the proprietress of this tavern?
Atma?
