89. Allegations
"Evidence?" Sean glanced at Durune with a contemptuous smile on his face, "If you're going to be able to make evidence that the other party can't refute, I don't." ”
Du Ruan's face became even more ugly, and the murderous aura on his body seemed to be pressed towards Sean like a substance.
Alfred tilted slightly, shielding Cecilia behind him. It's just that with his action, it stirred up the atmosphere in the Jinjian Hall to become more tense: Harley was a little overwhelmed, startled by Alfred's sudden action; Old Peter, on the other hand, also stood sideways, from behind Drune to his side, his eyes fixed on Alfred.
In the hall, the only ones who didn't change were three people.
Sean's face still had that contemptuous smile; Du Ruen's body is still murderous. The last one who didn't move was Cecilia, as if she had already expected the current situation, so there was no change in her expression at all, just looking at her surroundings with a curious expression.
Seeing that Sean and Durune were still in a confrontation of momentum, and neither of them would be the first to speak, Cecilia finally sighed. She had long known that Sean's temper was not ordinarily bad, and once she confronted others, she would never be the first to bow her head, but she didn't expect that Sean didn't know how to regress in such a big thing, and he bluntly attacked a family with a strong sense of honor, and Du Ruan didn't immediately use his gloves to slap Sean's face and ask for a duel, which was already very tolerated.
"Lord Durune, do you remember the day of the Marquis of Tindes's accident?" Cecilia finally spoke.
After all, Cecilia has the status of a proper nobleman, she has received an extremely good family education since she was a child, and she is very good and impeccable in both etiquette and speech. And at a very young age, he began to try to contact and learn all kinds of ways and techniques of dealing with each other, which is also an unavoidable responsibility for the children of a large aristocratic family, and it can be said that these behaviors have become a kind of instinct of Cecilia.
It's just that because she's been with Sean for a long time, Cecilia has also learned to relax and be lazy. Over time, in the eyes of many people, Cecilia's aristocratic status was forgotten, and she was only regarded as a beautiful and delicate magician apprentice.
But instinct is an act that is engraved into the bones, and it can never be completely forgotten because of relaxation and laziness.
And usually only when Sean starts to lose his temper and is too lazy to communicate normally, Cecilia will help solve it. And the first problem she helped Sean solve was a dispute with the fat Harley, if there was no Cecilia's argument that time, Sean would not have been able to get a satisfactory reward, and of course, it would be impossible to have any dealings with Harley again.
So when Cecilia spoke very calmly, Harley suddenly shuddered.
"Was it a sudden attack, that's why you were poisoned?" Cecilia didn't wait for Du Ruen to speak, and directly pressed again, and his momentum suddenly rose to a level, and even completely dispersed the killing intent he exuded.
At this moment, Cecilia suddenly felt a little dazzling, so that everyone present no longer regarded her as an underage little girl.
"It was indeed a surprise attack." Durune thought back to the day, then frowned and said, "We only heard a scream, and when we arrived, my father was ...... Already poisoned. We didn't see the attackers, but my uncle and the magician Muders were with me from the time my father was attacked until we rushed over. ”
"Sean suffered an assassination attempt a few days ago." Cecilia spoke again, her voice was very soft, but it gave people a sense of oppression step by step, ring by link, especially when her eyes met yours, the sense of oppression was even stronger, "The opponent is a purgatory kobold." However, when Sean killed the assassin, the other party had a magical collapse reaction. ”
Mana Collapse Reaction is a proper term for magicians, and generally refers to the signs of death of summoned creatures. However, in some special cases, the Mana Dispersion reaction also refers specifically to the Forbidden Demon Zone.
"What do you mean by that?" Durune's brow furrowed, and his voice was no longer so intense.
"Fire dragon poison is a venom extracted from the rhizome part of the fire tongue dragon grass." Sean finally spoke at the right time, "And this plant can only be found in the Abyss Purgatory Plane. In other words, the person who can summon the kobold of Purgatory must have something to do with the poisoning of your Marquis Perrault. ”
"But even so, it doesn't prove that Count Mario is the murderer."
Drune's will was clearly no longer so firm, but began to waver. This can be proved by the fact that he used to call his uncle, and now he changes his name to Count Mario. But as long as Durune's inner will can be shaken, then the next thing will be much simpler, what Sean is most afraid of is that Durun's guy has a tendon, so it will be called trouble.
After all, in the game back then, Durune died too early, and no player had ever dealt with him at all.
"Count Mario, if not the murderer, is definitely an accomplice, even the main messenger." Cecilia began to launch a new round of offensive, her tone was no longer as light as before, but began to be a little aggressive, the so-called negotiation and negotiation are actually nothing more than a few means, but the most important thing is to destroy the opponent's psychological defense first, "Mudus has a black book in his hand, that book is actually a magic book, called the "Book of Demons", its main effect is to obtain summons from the Abyss Purgatory Plane through sacrifice exchange. ”
Some of the contents of this magic book were naturally mentioned by Sean to Cecilia on the way to Anrola City. But she didn't expect that she would be used by Cecilia at this time, and with her magical talent and the excellent magical insight she had shown before, Du Ruen couldn't help but be even more suspicious.
"How do you know this?"
"Coincidence." Cecilia continued, although it was a coincidence, but the meaning in the words was not a coincidence at all, but revealed a confident tone, "We have assisted the Black Cat Chamber of Commerce to recapture the materials that were stolen by the Medusa Chamber of Commerce before, and then found another conspiracy of the Medusa Chamber of Commerce outside the village of Seroda. ”
"That purgatory kobold was sent by the other party to kill his mouth. Unfortunately, we witnessed the process of summoning this Purgatory Kobold, and if we hadn't met that Mudus in Anrola City before, we wouldn't have been able to recognize each other's identity. Cecilia was still talking, her words were mixed, but the more this happened, the more Durun, who was already in a state of confusion, would believe, "Presumably, the source of Count Mario's funds should be provided by the Medusa Chamber of Commerce, right?" ”
Durune turned his head to look at Old Peter and Harley, but they both nodded, indicating that Cecilia had not guessed wrong. And after seeing Harley and Old Peter nod, Durune finally sat on the main chair in the hall like a deflated ball, his eyes were already slightly distracted, obviously from his uncle's betrayal, it was definitely a big blow.
"What ...... for?"
"Because of the lord's inheritance." At this time, silence is actually the best choice, but Sean obviously doesn't want to let go of this opportunity to fall into the ground, "Count Mario considers himself a talented man, and if he were to govern the territory, he would definitely be much better than your father." That's why he poisoned your father, forced you to go out to find an antidote, and even set up an ambush on your way back, ready to kill you completely, so that he can rightfully become the lord of the Tindes Lord. ”
Seeing that Du Ruan's gaze turned to him, Sean sneered, and the words once again turned into a sharp blade, piercing Du Ruan's heart.
"Don't forget, why did you come to me for help, and you'd rather risk a great deal than cross the Starfall Forest. Don't forget, the caravan sent by Harley would suddenly be attacked and all wiped out, but in the blink of an eye, Burwell had an extra batch of supplies exactly like the goods that Harley had lost. …… And don't forget, where are the knights who were loyal to your father in Tindesburg, and where are the former garrisons in the castle. ”
"And you, Marquis Perrault, haven't woken up yet, but Count Mario can't wait to give you a celebration banquet, and his intentions can be imagined."
Cecilia's mending knife is always the most painful.
"Mr. Sean, thank you so much for telling me the news." After a few minutes of silence, Druan's whole person suddenly became aggressive.
"I just don't want my 10,000 Pan-Continent gold coins to be gone." Sean chuckled, completely lacking the rogue temper of before, but became elegant and calm, "If you are willing to listen to my advice, then I have a way to help you win this inheritance battle." Just ......"
"Compensation is not an issue." Durune clearly knew what Sean was going to say, so he preemptively spoke.
"Then in the name of negotiating the future ownership of the liege, send a letter of invitation to Mario, inviting him to come to Tyndsburg to discuss the matter. The most important thing is that you have to show that you are tired and do not want to fight for the name of this lord, only then Mario will be fooled. The corners of Sean's mouth lifted slightly, revealing an approving look, "Of course, in order to dispel his worst doubts, you must even invite Martin and Mudus to come over." But afterwards, you have to separate Martin and Muddes from Mario as much as possible, and create a gap for us, and we will help you deal with the two assistants that Count Mario relies on the most......"
Durune nodded, and after discussing more details with Sean, Old Peter, and Cecilia, the bell finally rang the bell and sent a letter to Mario.
The time of the invitation was set for the evening three days later.
