257. Ownership of the territory?

"Get out of the hands of the Dabion Kingdom!"

"Our lord is Sean. Connelly! Get out of our territory with the people of the kingdom of Dabiang! ”

"Get out of here!"

There are more and more residents surrounding the Lord's Mansion, and the gathering of nearly 10,000 people has turned the entire center of Void City into a sea of people for a while, and even other people are constantly rushing over, at this time, those who approached at the beginning are afraid that it is not easy to turn around. But at this moment, none of the residents and merchants here complained, and everyone's eyes were focused on the lord's mansion, and the originally noisy and chaotic commotion, I don't know when the road began to become extremely neat and unified.

"We are the people of the Duchy of Lane! Get out of our territory, you Dabion dogs! ”

In the crowd, someone roared again.

But this time, the atmosphere was a little awkward, and there was no neat and uniform shouting like before.

The predecessor of Panda Ling is, after all, the territory of the Kingdom of Dabiang, and the people here have always regarded themselves as Dabiangs, and even in the more than a year since they were abandoned by the Kingdom of Dabiang, these people have not forgotten their identity as Dabiangs. Although now, under Sean's rule, there are many outsiders in the territory, but the vast majority of people are still Dabiang, so this sentence is actually equivalent to denying the past and bloodline of these people, maybe other outsiders can admit this, but if Dabiang people don't have enough courage, they can't admit this statement anyway.

Or rather, it's an insult.

Although the Miracle Continent is full of countries and even often fights with each other, both commoners and nobles have a sense of pride in their own bloodlines.

And these are the cornerstones that support a country.

Maybe in the system of those nobility. They will also pursue the purity of their bloodline and the strength of their strength. But these are too far away for the civilians, what will really make the civilians embrace is the recognition and pride of their own status, without the recognition and support of these civilians, even if there are strong people who come forward to declare independence, in the end they will not be able to escape the end of decline and destruction.

For the people of Dabian, the Duchy of Lane is still an outsider after all.

They can recognize Sean's arrival, or they can recognize Sean as a lord, because Sean has made their lives better and provided them with shelter. That's why they are proud and proud to be the people of Panda. But all this, that's all, and wanting them to forget their identity as Dabians is another problem.

At this moment, when we need to make concerted efforts, we can imagine how ulterior motives the person who shouted it is.

The original angry crowd. Begin to cool down.

"I'm from Dabiang." Just then, another voice suddenly sounded. The sound was a little slight at first. But gradually the tone of his voice rose, "But now, I'm also a Lane man!" I don't know what the nobles were thinking, I only know how I got over in the past few years, and I only know how I got over in the past few years, and I only know that I was in the most difficult and painful period. It was Lord Sean who led me out! …… If it is said that in order to become a lord of Sean, it is necessary to abandon the identity of the Dabians, then ...... From today onwards, I am a Lane man! ”

"Dabion Dog, get out of our territory!"

This shout. It smells of exhaustion, and it seems to be the result of the courage and strength of a lifetime.

However, after shouting this sentence, a flush appeared on the face of the middle-aged man who spoke, which was a relaxed look mixed with pride, joy and relief.

There was a few seconds of silence, and then someone shouted, "From today!" I'm the Lane Man! Dabion's brutes get out of our territory! ”

At this moment, being a Lane man seems to be a pride, not a shame.

Once this ripple effect unfolded, the crowd in the entire square once again became even more agitated, and the momentum, centripetal force, and cohesion were even far greater than before.

And such an inspiring shout resounded like a storm throughout the city center, and even the soundproofed lord's palace could not resist this sound. Sean, Domingo, Christina and others in the conference room can hear it clearly.

It's just that, unlike the look of joy on Sean's face, Domingo. Hasting's face was so gloomy that it almost dripped.

Domingo, who has been a superior for a long time, has long forgotten the suffering of those who live at the bottom of the pyramid. So of course, he couldn't understand how far-reaching and significant the significance and impact of Sean's appearance was when Panda Ling was living in dire straits. What he can see is that Panda Ling is thriving now, but he can't see how much effort Sean has spent on this for this prosperous development.

"Your Excellency's prestige is truly beyond the reach of the dust." Domingo sneered.

But Sean didn't seem to know that he was mocking him with this sentence, and he even nodded with a serious face, and said, "If Count Domingo can devote more energy to the development of the territory, then you can also gain the support of the entire Tinchiin people." …… However, I heard that you seem to be the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment of Dabiang, so I am afraid that you do not have much time to deal with the affairs of the territory, right? It's no wonder that I can't understand the fact that I am embraced by the people. ”

Domingo's facial muscles twitched slightly.

"But Baron Soma is a very good political officer." Sean suddenly spoke with a look of nostalgia, "I also quite appreciate his talent and ability, there is such an excellent political officer, and the people of Tinchiin do you know about Domingo. Hasting's name doesn't seem to be an important thing. ”

Domingo glared at Sean with an annoyed expression, but soon, he took a few more deep breaths, trying to calm the anger inside. In front of the executive of the Peace Society, if he were the first to act in anger, the situation would likely turn out to be extremely unfavorable to him, and in order to avoid this situation, Domingo knew that he must not be provoked by the young man in front of him.

The anger on Domingo's face had receded, and he smiled calmly: "I really hope that after the arbitration result is out." Your Excellency can still laugh. ”

"Of course." Sean nodded, "We've got a celebration after that, do you want the Earl to attend together?" ”

Hearing Sean's words, Domingo's face showed a look of doubt for the first time. A real power figure like him, and with the support of the Hasteen family, of course, he has already seen a lot of people of all kinds, including those who want to save face and slap a swollen face and call a fat man, so whether this kind of person is pretending to be Domingo can be seen at a glance, and he has always thought that Sean is dying to save face, but at the moment it doesn't look like it at all.

There was a slight uneasiness in my heart. Domingo couldn't help but turn his head to look at Christina.

The executive had been studying the two territorial deeds for more than half an hour, which clearly did not bode well.

"It's just a forged territorial deed document, does it take that long to study?" Domingo's inner turmoil finally made him speak again.

"It's indeed a forged territorial deed." Hearing Domingo's words, Christina finally nodded. He spoke in a deep voice, and at the same time threw back the territorial contract document belonging to Domingo in his hand. "It's good that I'm here this time. Otherwise, you will indeed be fooled. …… With such a professional forgery technique, you must have put a lot of thought into it, let me guess whose handiwork. …… Well, there are no more than five people in this world who can produce such a clever forgery, but considering the situation of Ting Qiyin and the rumors he has received. It's the handiwork of Eternal Night. ”

"Eternal Night?" Sean was stunned for a moment.

If you only hear this term, of course, you will not know what it means. But Sean had dealt with Elekate after all, and this forged document was indeed written by him, so when he heard the term. Sean immediately thought of the thief. But what he didn't expect was why even Christina, the executive officer of the Peace Association, would know about this person?

Could it be that Elikate of the Eternal Night is really that powerful?

But Sean's stunned expression made Christina think that Sean didn't know the meaning of the name, so she opened her mouth to explain: "Eternal Night refers to Eternal Night's Elekate." …… This guy is the honorary elder of the Thieves Guild, although it is really a bit miserable in terms of personal strength and combat experience, but if the ability of 'forgery' can also be ranked, this guy's strength is definitely grandmaster-level. …… And this kind of forgery is not only in the paperwork, but even the environment, identity, etc., he can easily solve it, just like a thief in the dark forever, so he will call him the child of the eternal night. …… Normally, though, everyone calls him Elikate of the Eternal Night......"

"It can't be!" Without waiting for Christina to finish speaking, Domingo really slapped the table this time.

Such a strong reaction naturally surprised even Christina.

"This contract document of mine can't be fake!" Domingo's face was shocked and angry, like a gambler who had lost a bet, and his eyes were bloodshot, "It must be you!" You must have colluded with him, right? The executive of the Peace Association was actually bribed! ”

"Watch your wording, Your Excellency!" Christina's eyes showed a cold glow, and the momentum on her body had changed slightly.

In the field, in addition to William and Neil, who are not good at fighting, people like Sean, Cecilia, Sein, and Domingo naturally noticed this change in aura at the first time, and even the masters of the Silver Realm could detect the change in Christina's momentum, not to mention Taylor, who was also a high-ranking golden powerhouse.

The strong man of the deputy commander of the Second Knights of Dabiang got up and stood by Domingo's side at the first moment, protecting both Domingo and Sein behind him. His eyes were fixed on Christina, looking like he was facing a great enemy, as for Sean and Cecilia, they had been completely ignored by Taylor at this moment, after all, they were just two masters of the Silver Realm, and they were not even the next golden powerhouses, so it was naturally impossible for Taylor to take them seriously.

"What? I said yes, do you want to kill people now? Domingo looked at Christina with an angry look on his face, and the madness in his eyes proved that he was not pretending, but really couldn't accept the fact that he really couldn't accept it.

This change can't help but make Neil, William, Sean and others wonder, what happened to Domingo, and actually made him unable to accept such a fact? According to their survey. The Hasteen family was obviously instructed by the Nugus family this time, so they competed with Sean for the ownership of the territory of Panda, and even did not hesitate to provoke Asuna, the marquis of Tonys.

However, this plan does have a lot of interests involved, because if it succeeds, at least the Kingdom of Dabion will be equivalent to reopening the entrance and exit of the Gap Rift, and it will also delay the agreed plan of Sean and Asuna for at least two years. However, even if Panda was not taken away from Sean, there would be no loss for either Nugus or the Hasteen family, and it could only be said that there was no change in the economic constraints of the Dabiang Kingdom at the moment.

But whether it succeeds or not, it is a very troublesome thing for Sean and Asuna.

It's just a political confrontation to disgust others, not even a conspiracy.

That's why. So even if it fails, Domingo. Hasting's not going to be able to lose his temper to this extent. It is a well-known consensus that the Peace Association has never been bought by anyone or power, and this is already a common understanding of how crazy this Domingo is. Will it be said that Christina was bought by Sean for such ignorant words?

"Your Excellency!" Sein suddenly tugged at Domingo's sleeve.

Being pulled like this by Sein, Domingo suddenly came to his senses. The look of madness on his face gradually calmed down.

Merely. Sain's somewhat transgressive move did not escape the attention of William and Sean and others.

With Sean just a clerk, not even a nobleman, he should have done so in some other way, not in the slightly intimate way of pulling his sleeves, even if he wanted to remind Domingo to calm down.

But the current situation seems to have become a little strange and special, so William and the others have everything in their eyes. But he still didn't say anything. They were still looking at Domingo with interest, eager to see what kind of crazy move Domingo would do next, of course, if they could get them to fight with Christina, then Sean definitely didn't mind at all.

"I'm sorry. Your Excellency, I just lost my temper. But what Sean and the others didn't expect was that Domingo actually apologized directly, which was really beyond their expectations, "I shouldn't doubt the fairness of the Peace Society." …… There must be other misunderstandings here, and this territorial deed document cannot be fake, because I personally determined it at the time. ”

"But the copy you took out is indeed a forgery." Christina glanced at Taylor coldly, although she really wanted to kill someone, but since Domingo had already apologized, of course she couldn't hold on, "The materials of this forged document are very consistent with the real thing, and it can even reach the level of being fake." …… However, if there is a comparison of the real thing, you can still find a lot of problems. ”

As she said this, Christina opened Domingo's contract paperwork, then took out the certificate of ownership of the territory, pointed to one of the lines on it and said, "Please look carefully at the back of this line." ”

Hearing this, even Sean and the others were very curious to come up and watch.

Originally, it was just a very ordinary line of handwriting, and there was nothing unusual except for the neat writing. But under Christina's guidance, everyone soon discovered that after this line was written, there were faint convex marks and traces of ink erosion on the back of the paper.

"Now, let's take a look at this certificate from Lord Sean."

While saying this, Christina also pulled out the supporting documents in Sean's territorial deed document, and she didn't need to look at the front situation at all, she turned directly to the back but didn't find any traces of ink erosion, and even if she touched it with her hands, she wouldn't touch any convex marks, only a smooth feeling. At this time, everyone even found that the forged one of the two supporting documents actually had some traces of slight diffusion at the royal seal, although it was not obvious, but if you look carefully, you will still find it; But on the other hand, the seal belonging to the royal family of the Dabiang Kingdom did not show any traces of diffusion, and even the seal had a layer of brilliance.

"All the papers on which the territory is certified are issued by our Peace Society, and the handwriting on them is also written with a special magic pen and magic ink, so there is absolutely no such bump and ink erosion." Christina continued, "And the seal from the royal family also has a special magical protection, and the ordinary forgery may last for a few days and then spread and dissolve into the paper like this. …… Judging from the traces, it will take at least half a year for this seal to really melt, and I judged from this that the person who forged this document is definitely a master. ”

Hearing Christina's words, Domingo already knew that he could not clear the suspicion of forgery in any case. And because of anger, he clenched his fists tightly, he couldn't figure it out, obviously the territory contract document had been kept in the manor's mansion after he got it, but why did it run to Sean's hands? And why is this document of his own fake?

Could it be that there are thieves in Hasting's Manor?

Thinking of this, Domingo's gaze was fixed on Sean like a sharp sword.

Facing Domingo's sharp eyes, Sean smiled indifferently, if his eyes could kill, he would have died hundreds of times without knowing it, how could he still live to this day?

But at this moment, Sean suddenly spoke: "Your Excellency Sean, I don't know what you mean by Fran. Do you have any impression of the name Dumoy? ”

"Fran. Dumoy? Sean was stunned for a moment, "Who?" ”

"A man who suddenly appeared in Lominen and disappeared within a few days." Sean chuckled, "It's a bit of a coincidence, when the man who claimed to be the viscount appeared, Soma. The Visor of Hastings had invited him to a dinner at Hasting's Manor, and with the Viscount's departure, there was a theft of the estate, resulting in the loss of a famous painting worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins. ”

"Does that have anything to do with me?" Sean was a little stunned.

"It doesn't seem to be at the moment, but who knows what the future will be." Sain spoke.

"Are you suspicious of me?"

"It's a big no-no to casually suspect a nobleman, it's just ...... Lord Sean doesn't seem to be a nobleman, right? Sein said with a smile on his face.

At this time, Domingo finally reacted: "Your Excellency, I now suspect that this contract document of mine was stolen by someone else. That's why I demand that Lord Sean temporarily end all dominion over the Panda Territory, and that all military operations in that territory be halted! ”

"It's ridiculous." Sean sneered, "If you want to stop my control of my territory just because of your casual lie, then can I also say that your Tinchiyin Territory is likely not to belong to you at all, and also ask to stop all your territory control, so that your Hastings family can quickly get out of the territory?" ”

"Indeed." Christina nodded slightly, "That's a bit excessive. ”

"But ......"

"So be it." Christina pondered for a moment, then spoke again, "Sean. Sir Connery is still the acting lord of Panda Territory, and I will give you three months, if you still can't find new evidence that your territorial contract document was stolen, then Shaun. Ser Connelly will officially become Lord of Panda. ”

"It's very unfair to me!" Sean frowned slightly, looking very unhappy.

But this time, Domingo no longer made any entanglement, but nodded in response: "I think it won't take three months, only half a month is enough." …… I'll immediately get Soma, who was in charge of that dinner, right now. Hastings arrived. (To be continued......)

PS: I accidentally bumped it while taking a shower, and the fingernail of my left index finger was almost lifted whole, which is simply unbearable pain in life!! At the moment, it seems that my luck has not improved. The left index finger has been scrapped, and the current code word speed is only 500 words per hour, which is simply miserable...... So what, that's it for today. In addition, for the sake of me working so hard to code words, please ask for some comfort......
