Hearing this, a soft smile appeared on Rod's face, he stood in the center of the hall like that, letting the nobles cast their eyes on him, but he didn't even say half a word——— I have to say, the speech of the envoy of the Council of Light is indeed surprising, the incident about the mountain territory of Solagang is in an uproar on the entire continent, and these nobles naturally can't be ignorant of it, but even they don't know the truth of the whole thing, at this moment, listen to the envoy of the Council of Light, Everyone looked at Rhodes with a little more shock and surprise in their eyes. In all fairness, they didn't believe each other's words, and the relationship between the Council of Light and the Duchy of Moon was not good in the first place, and it wasn't once or twice that they smeared Moon. The second is that Rhodes has just accepted Lydia's award, although he is only a low-level baron, but everyone knows very well that this is just a political statement, and Lydia obviously uses this matter to express to everyone that she will not give up Lot. If Rhodes was really responsible for the Soragon Mountain Territory incident, would Lydia do it?

"Please go on, Mr. Envoy."

Lydia, who was sitting on the throne, didn't even change her expression in the slightest, just looked at the fat pug in front of her, waiting for him to take a closer step. Hearing Lydia's words, Danny raised his head proudly, he first glanced at Rod with disdain, and then took out a thick stack of paper from his arms and continued to speak.

"Your Highness, I can assure you that what I am going to tell is the clearest evidence and witness ............ that has been reviewed and investigated by the Council of Light," said Councillor Danny, waving his hand, and then spoke.

"Allow me to summon my witnesses to court."

"No problem."

Hearing the envoy of the Council of Light, Lydia nodded slightly, while the other party reached out and gestured to her subordinates, and soon two guards turned to leave. It didn't take long for the two guards to enter the hall with a young man——— who looked to be about twenty-seven or eighteen years old. Wearing a luxurious dress, although the appearance is quite handsome, but the gestures give people a very haggard feeling, as if they have just recovered from a serious illness. The same as the sick who have not yet recuperated.

The young man, who looked a little haggard, entered the hall under the guidance of the guards, and when he came to the envoy of the Council of Light, he bowed respectfully to everyone present before speaking.

"Hello, Your Highness Lydia, I'm Ziggy. Elonic, representative of the Alanik Foundation in the Solagang Mountain Territory. I swear by the honor of my family, and I saw the beginning and end of all that day........."

Alannick?

Hearing the name, Rhodes couldn't help but glance at him, and it seemed that he had seen this young man in the hall before the meeting began, but he had no impression after the commotion began, but now it seems. This guy's life was big enough to avoid that crisis——— but Rod didn't think that the other party was just lucky.

However, the family has caused no less trouble to Rhodes.

Come to think of it. Rod couldn't help grinding his teeth, first Marlene, and now Solagang Mountain Collar, this Aranic consortium is really afraid that he lacks a sense of existence, and he is looking for something to do for himself anytime and anywhere, if he selects model workers, these guys must be on the list, but now what Rhodes needs to care about is obviously not this problem...... Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but look at the important ministers beside Lydia, only to see that beside Lydia, one was wearing a white robe. The old man with the golden staff in his hand looked at the man in front of him with a little disgust at the moment. Of course, Rhodes knew where his disgust came from——— because this old man was the patriarch of the Shania family, one of the three major families of the Duchy of Moon, and Marlene's biological father......... Hey. Rod didn't need to think much about it, if he hadn't taken care of the face of the principality, I'm afraid that the Shania family would have started a full-scale war with the Ionic Consortium by now. Although it is said that Eletronic is also the leading consortium in the Land of Light, the accumulation of the Shania family over the years is not in vain. If the two sides really fight, it will be no less than a war between countries. …,

It's just a little smaller.

Just when Rod was thinking nonsense, perhaps sensing his eyes, the old man also looked at him, and seeing the old man looking at him, Rod also knew that Lu Dao was a little rude, he nodded to the old patriarch, and planned to withdraw his gaze. But Rod didn't expect that in the face of his return salute, the old man pressed his free left hand on his chest, and solemnly and solemnly saluted Rode, and then, the old man looked at Rod and smiled slightly, and then retracted his gaze to the statement in front of him.

This made Rhodes a little surprised, whether in terms of identity or status, he was far from being able to compete with the patriarch of the family who had the greatest influence and presence in the Principality of Moon, although perhaps because of the previous series of events, he would have a good impression of himself, but he would not return the favor to himself in public. It's not just about liking.

Thinking of this, Rhodes also found that in the crowd, several sharp eyes also swept towards him at this moment, and it was obvious that the communication between himself and the patriarch of Shania had attracted the attention of some well-intentioned people, but Rhodes didn't care about anything, but refocused his attention on the title of the young nobleman in front of him.

As the saying goes, if you want to make people believe, then it will not work to be completely true, and it will not work to be completely false, and the best way is to mix the true and the false, and the false and the true will be mixed. This lie is the most difficult to debunk, and the self-proclaimed Ziggy man. The young aristocracy of Érannick was apparently well versed in this, and his account was well organized, but not all of them were true. In this young man's statement, the appearance of the old council leader until the earthquake broke out and the Chaos Fire appeared, which was completely consistent with Rod's memory, but then there was a deviation, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he "ignored" Rod's appearance, but said that when the Chaos Fire broke out, he noticed something bad and left the Mithril Hall, and then he stumbled upon a suspicious man in black. This aroused Ziggy's curiosity, and with the help of the power of his magical equipment, he secretly followed the suspicious figure, and then saw them enter the stone temple. He then saw the suspicious figure meet the Overseer, and the two lifted the seal, and the Demon Duke awoke from the underground. Originally, Ziggy was going to leave, but just then, he noticed that the suspicious man in black and the Overseer were arguing.........

I have to say that Ziggy's level of storytelling is indeed very high. However, the more Rhodes listened, the more he frowned, because what Ziggy said was not much different from what he and others had personally experienced, but he cleverly tampered with a few key parts, which showed that this guy was not all imaginary, someone must have provided him with material——— and that person should be one of his companions who killed him from the mountain territory of Solagang with him.

But who?

Now Rhodes can be sure that 100% of the people who left the Soragon Mountain Territory with him at the time betrayed the story to the Council of Light. But who exactly? Rhodes has not received any answer to this question until now, so he did not speak, but kept his mouth shut. Listen quietly to the young man's voice.

“…………… In the end, I saw that the terrible demon was heading in the direction of the dragon soul of light, and in order to warn my country to prepare for the invasion of the demon, I did not continue to follow, but used the teleportation item to leave and return to the land of light. As for what happened next, I don't know. ”

And at this time, Zigger's narration also ended there.

"I already understand everything you said." …,

After listening to Ziggy's story, Lydia nodded, and she glanced at Rod meaningfully. Then he asked.

"So, what does all this have to do with Sir Rod?"

"With all due respect, Your Highness, at that time, I accidentally saw the face of the man in black......... That's exactly what this gentleman faces. ”

“………… Are you sure you can't be mistaken? ”

"Absolutely not, I swear by the honor of my family. And ............"

Speaking of this, Ziggy even glanced at Rod playfully.

"With such a distinctive character of this gentleman, it is difficult to forget."

Hearing Ziggy's answer, there was a slight laughter from the surrounding crowd, although they have not yet decided whether what Ziggy said is true or false, but it is certain that at least this sentence is indeed true, with Rod's outstanding physical features, ordinary people will definitely leave a very deep impression once they see him. It's like the young noble heirs in the City of Eagles, they just met Rhodes in midsummer, but when they fled for their lives, they saw Rhodes and recognized him at a glance.

Sometimes it's not a good thing to have too many features.

"I've heard your statement."

Lydia turned a deaf ear to the laughter in private, she just looked at the young man in front of her quietly, and then spoke calmly.

"But that's just your words, Mr. Erannik, and you must admit that you don't have any evidence to prove your claim."

"Your Highness, these have been confirmed by the Council of Light, and there is absolutely no falsehood!"

Hearing Lydia's answer, Councillor Danny couldn't help frowning and said coldly. The smirk that was still hanging on his face just now began to fade at this moment, and it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with Lydia's search for excuses. "After Mr. Ziggy's return, the Council of Light sent a mage to trace the scene from his soul's memory, and it was from this vision that we were able to confirm that his words were not false in the slightest. And in order to find the culprit who caused the disaster this time, Mr. Ziggy even dragged the sick body to cooperate with us in soul tracing. ”

As he spoke, Councilor Danny excitedly and angrily reached out his hand, signaling everyone to pay attention to the haggard young man beside him.

"For the sake of justice, he is even willing to find the murderer at the cost of hurting his own soul, can this still be faked?"

There are also levels of storytelling.

Although this fat councillor looked indignant and righteous, the people present were not so easily deceived. Soon, Lydia had a new question.

"So, as evidence, I'd like to be able to see with my own eyes the magical image traced back from this gentleman's soul, which shouldn't be an excessive request, isn't it?"

"It's certainly not an over-the-top request."

Speaking of this, the fat councillor still looked confident, which couldn't help but make Rod a little curious. He knew better than anyone that while it was true that the masters had a spell that could follow everything he had experienced in the souls of others, it was also based on facts. No matter how rich the imagination of this Monsieur Aranique was, it was impossible for him to keep in his soul what he had never experienced. But right now this pug is so calm......... What basis does he have?

Soon. Rod's question was answered.

"But before that, I would like Her Highness Lydia to explain why the seal of the Demon Duke, which was supposed to be under the close care of your principality, can be lifted? And what is the purpose of that man going to the Solagang Mountain Territory?! Why would he break the seal of the Demon Duke with the Overseer!? ”…,

I see!!

Hearing this, Rhodes finally understood why the Council of Light was so fearless.

Even if all their content is made up, there is one hurdle that Lydia can't get around anyway. That is, she must explain to the council why the seal of the demon duke will be lifted. As for this one it's called Ziggy. The reason why Aranik's guys are here is just to set the stage for this, and at the same time to find a way out for Lydia's excuse. Obviously, the Council of Light must have heard about it from someone and adapted it so that anyone could blame the accident for man-made. Then Lydia would not be able to blame the whole thing for an accident or something else to relieve herself——— Council of Light clearly did not intend to give Lydia any way out.

But alas, Rhodes is not easy to mess with.

"Please wait a minute."

Thinking of this, Rod smiled slightly. Then he spoke.

"I'm sorry to plan for the inquiry of the council, but......... I have a completely different opinion about what this Mr. Erannik says. ”

"What............!!"

Hearing this, Councilor Danny's face changed slightly, he glared at Rhodes viciously, and shouted angrily in a low voice.

"You are blatantly doubting the judgment of the Parliament! Slandering the reputation of the Parliament? Perpetrator?!! ”

"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in the idea of a group of old people clinging to their opinions around an old wooden table."

Rhodes glanced at the other party, and then he answered almost without pause, and when he heard this answer, the entire hall suddenly felt as if a cold wind was blowing. Silently.

The nobles' eyes widened in surprise, looking at the young man standing leisurely on the top of the hall, they had never seen anyone make such disrespectful remarks to the Council of Light on such a formal occasion, although the relationship between the Duchy of Moon and the Council of Light had already been stiff to the point that it could not be resolved, but considering the face of both sides, the nobles who were dissatisfied with the Duchy of Moon only complained in private. But I didn't expect that this young man, who had just won the knighthood, would unceremoniously give the other party such an embarrassment in this public!

For a moment, there was silence in the hall, until Congressman Danny's angry voice rang out, which broke the somewhat eerie silence.

"You, you are insulting and provocative!! I'm going to protest!! Protest!! ”

"Please be quiet, Mr. Envoy."

Lydia's statement shows that she clearly did not intend to make any correction to Rod's statement.

"This is a sacred, fair place, and we have the right to listen to all, and you have spoken here about the facts that the Council of Light has brought about. So, as a party accused by the parliament of being in the middle of this, I think we need to listen to what he has to say, don't we? ”

"This, this ..............."

Hearing this, Councilor Danny couldn't help but hesitate, I have to say that Lydia's attack point is really good, she did not deny that Rhodes has nothing to do with this matter, on the contrary, since even your Council of Light admits that Rhodes has something to do with this matter, then for the description of this matter, we naturally want to listen to Rod's statement.

It's not that Councilor Danny doesn't understand this truth, so he just hesitated for a moment, and quickly calmed down.

"Of course, no problem, Your Highness Lydia, but I don't think a criminal can say anything worthy of our study."

"This is only known when you hear it."

Saying this, Lydia nodded to Rod, and seeing this scene, Rod also quickly stepped forward. Gracefully and formally, he bowed to everyone present. …,

"Like Mr. Erannick, I am willing to swear by the honor of my family that everything I say is completely true. But until then............ I would like to have the permission of Her Royal Highness Lydia because of my statement. There is a high probability that some confidential matters are involved. ”

"No problem, Luo Qing, please speak."

"Very good, Your Highness."

Hearing this, many nobles immediately raised their spirits, if they had just listened to Ziggy's statement before, then now Rhodes had just caught their attention with that sentence. After all, Rhodes explained in full view that he was likely to reveal some secrets, and these secrets had to be told with Lydia's permission. People are yearning for gossip, seeing that Rhodes is playing so seriously, many people have already believed him a little more in their hearts——— after all, no one will be idle and have nothing to do on this occasion to perform.

“……………… A few days ago, we in the Starlight Guild had received a special order from Her Highness Lydia. ”

Seeing that his actions had attracted everyone's attention very well, Rod quickly spoke.

"At that time, there was some trouble within the Soragon Mountain Territory, as the president of the Soragon Mountain Territory Council. For some reason, he was attacked by unknown persons. As the manager of the Soragon Mountain Territory, Her Royal Highness Lydia naturally learned about this situation, but due to the particularity of the Solagang Mountain Territory. She didn't have the means to send regular soldiers to help, so she entrusted us with the Starlight Guild to enter the Soragon Mountain Territory and rescue the Old Council Leader. ”

Hearing this, many nobles nodded, after all, they were also very aware of the rules and status of the Principality of Moon, coupled with the particularity of the Solagang Mountain Territory, if this kind of thing really happened, then it would be reasonable for Lydia not to send an army, and to choose the Mercenary Guild to complete it.

“……… I won't go into much detail about the process in between. Eventually, we were able to rescue the Old Council Leader and bring him to the Mithril Hall before the Soragon Mountain Lords Council convened......... This is also stated in the words of Mr. Erannik. ”

Saying this, Rod paused, then smiled and looked at the young man with a slightly pale face not far away.

"That's right, Mr. Aranic. When you attended the Soragon Mountain Collar Meeting, the Old Council Leader did show up, right? ”

"This, this .................."

I didn't expect Rod to question him, which made Ziggy a little at a loss, but what he just said, it was obvious that there was no way to swallow it back, so he could only nod.

"That's right, the old council chief did attend the Soragon Mountain Collar Conference, but we haven't heard of him before............"

"I'm just hoping for your confirmation."

Before Ziggy could finish his sentence, Rhodes interrupted him mercilessly, and then he turned his head and continued.

"However, we are all well aware that the attack on the council elder is likely to happen again, and for the sake of caution, we have sought the help of the Overseer, and for the sake of the peace of the Solagang Mountain Lord, the Overseer has also agreed to help us find the murderer of the council elder——— but at this time, the force that saw that his plan had failed actually attacked the Holy Land while the Overseer was attending the Mountain Lord's council, and I don't know what method the Governor used, Lifted the seal that had been secured in the Holy Land, and forcibly awakened the Demon Duke. ”

Saying this, Rod's face sank slightly.

"Although Lord Overseer and I rushed back to the Holy Land in time and killed the fanatics, the Demon Duke's seal was irreversible. In order to stop the demon duke from causing further damage to the continent, the Overseer had to sacrifice his own life in order to suppress the evil demon, and I took the opportunity to escape the Soragon Mountain Territory with the remaining seal, and successfully lured it away and finally destroyed the demon ............"...,

"Nonsense!!"

Before Rhodes could finish his sentence, he was interrupted angrily by Congressman Danny, who glared at Rhodes angrily.

"Cunning sinner, even if you have an orchid tongue, you will not be able to undo the crimes you have committed! You're just talking nonsense!! This is not the truth of the matter at all! Besides, you said that there was a force that attacked the Holy Land and lifted the seal, so you can tell me, what is that force? ”

"The question............ Councillor Danny: Are you sure you want to know the answer? ”

"Of course, do you dare to say it? In front of so many people? I would like to know what kind of force dares to do such a bold thing in the Solagang Mountain Territory? ”

Saying this, Danny couldn't help but look at Rod with a smug smile, obviously, he didn't think Rod had any intelligence information, but Rod didn't need it originally.

"Can you tell?"

"Absolutely."

With that, Rhodes reached out, straightened his clothes, and then reached into his arms and pulled out a brass badge from it.

"That's what I got from those attackers............... The four-leaf clover was trimmed with gold thread and carved with the dragon's wings.................. "With that, Rhodes turned around and looked at the Council of Light's envoys, who didn't know what they were at the moment, and their faces were a little pale.

"If my memory is not wrong, this should be the Council of Light, isn't it? Your Excellency? ”
