Now, Solandale is disregarding consensus in the political arena and undermining the rules of the power game.

It stands to reason that whether it is to strengthen the relationship between the royal family and the royal family, or to protect the layer of window paper that should not be pierced, Perseus should stop Solandale from continuing to speak.

But for some reason, he was indifferent to this, and just silently watched his daughter, as if waiting for her to continue.

Solandale withdrew his gaze from Lan Xian, turned to look at the synagogue, and said in a loud voice, "Unity, this is what I have learned in history, and it is also what a country or nation needs most when it is in danger. ”

"However, when our kingdom is facing an invasion from outside the sky, and the vast land and thousands of people are threatened, the various families are secretly intriguing, and I see no unity in you."

"At the first meeting, you repeatedly agreed to the execution of Chino, believing that it was the best option for the kingdom - I would admire and respect if you could hold on to this idea until the end, but you did not."

"At first, you planned to put Chino to death, but when you learned of the existence of the curse, you began to fear it again, and everyone was in danger. In order to prevent the curse from being transferred to you, you quickly abandoned the original execution plan and devised a detention plan to deprive you of your freedom. ”

"Then I would like to ask, are you doing all this for yourself, or for the Kingdom? Is this detention plan for the protection of oneself personally, or for the long-term stability and development of the kingdom? Do you really have the consciousness to give everything for the Kingdom? ”

"Tuk, tuk, tuk." The sound of crutches hitting the ground interrupted Solandale's speech, and the lawmakers looked back at the last row of the room, looking at the old man who had not been there for the previous two meetings and had only shown up today.

I saw Yuan Wen leaning lazily on the chair and said casually: "Ninth Princess, what you said is completely childish and naïve. Between families, interests come first, and the leaders of each clan do their best to seek benefits for the family, what's wrong with that? Ordinary people, self-supremacy, it is the nature of parliamentarians to protect themselves, what is wrong with this? You want to use the standard of a saint to demand from everyone, isn't it? ”

As the most knowledgeable person in the entire Dogulland, Yuan Wen's negotiation ability is naturally unmatched, and few people in the entire palace dare to argue with him head-on, and now that he has stood up to refute Solandale, everyone suddenly has confidence.

Edward was the first to stand up, and deliberately said in a mocking tone: "Nine princesses, you are the one who can make unicorns agree, we don't have your noble character, and we don't have such a sacred depth of thought. Since you think we're being selfish, why don't you set an example for us, and you'll be responsible for bearing the curse on Chino? ”

Solandale shook her head, "I can't." ”

Edward couldn't help but chuckle, his arrogant expression seemed to have the initiative: "You don't want to do it yourself, why do you want to criticize us?" There is a saying in the Far East - do not do to others what you would not do to yourself - do not impose on others what you do not want to bear. A person can be generous and noble, but he should not be generous to others and exalt others. Isn't it? ”

"I said I can't, not that I don't want to." Solandelle's eyes were clear and determined, and he didn't shy away from looking directly at Edward, "It's that I don't have the ability to carry this curse right now." ”

Without any delay, Chino on the judgment seat suddenly took over the topic: "That's right, how terrible the curse is, I think you can empathize with my experience, it means facing the hunt of visitors from all over the world, eating and sleeping at any time, and it is difficult to sleep peacefully, and it is impossible to live in fear." Putting the weak princess on her back is just a pointless addition to the dead. ”

"In fact, in my opinion, carrying the curse is the exclusive domain of those who are strong - like you, Lord Edward, if I can take the initiative to transfer the curse, I will definitely give priority to you, the dignified Trojan leader, the "Curser" of the 6th sequence, must never be afraid of visitors from outside the world, and will definitely be able to fight the curse to the end, right?"

This question made Edward unable to get off the stage, and there were questions about whether the answer was right or wrong, and his eyes wandered for a while, and by chance, he caught a glimpse of Solandale's gaze, and looked in the direction of her line of sight, and he found that Yuan Wen raised an eyebrow at Solandale, and there seemed to be a playful smile on his face.

Only then did Edward realize that he had fallen into the pit, and Yuan Wen didn't really refute it just now, but deliberately sang a duet with Solandale, dug a hole, and waited for a fool to jump in as a bird - he was this fool.

Edward's face was gloomy, and he was not ready to continue arguing with them, so he simply sat down.

Lan Xian saw that Edward was put on the table, and took the initiative to stand up: "Ninth Princess, I think your topic is a little far away. Now it is not about the character of the family or the individual, but about what to do with the Chino administrator. Whoever raised the problem and who was responsible for solving it, we've solved it – the presiding judge previously detailed the solutions we came up with. If you don't think it's right, might as well think of a more suitable solution? ”

Solandale knew that the Trojan family was not good at strategy, and Edward was born in the military and had a superficial personality, so digging a hole could make him plant, weaken his momentum, and make him dare not speak casually.

But the Hitch family, with the goldfinch as the banner, mediates between the moon coin and the political arena all day long, and scheming is their strength, but also the foundation.

As the nursery rhyme of the royal city goes: "In Huffy, greeting with a salute is a better blow in the back; In Huffy, hypocrisy is the most solemn etiquette; In Hitch, intrigue has long been a child's game. ”

These scheming goldfinchs are good at dancing with long sleeves when they come out with any child, not to mention the head of the family, Lanxian Hitch, who is also the "right hand of the king".

Even if he is well-read and knowledgeable than his peers, but to fight with someone like Lan Xian, it is boring to be self-deprecating, hitting a stone with an egg, and Solandale knows this very well.

But sometimes, you don't have to attack head-on to defeat a strong opponent.

The strongest barriers are often breached from within.

And the detention plan led by Lan Xian is the "strong barrier".

Although Solandelle was young, she did not lose at all in terms of momentum, and she faced Lan Xian and asked, "Lord Lan Xian, I have a question for you, is the main reason why you have sorted out this detention plan is to prevent the "curse" from being transferred to others?" Want to lock this "curse" with his body by guaranteeing Chino's life to ensure that the invasion of visitors from outside the sky is stable and controllable? ”

"To be precise, to prevent the existence of such a possibility." Lan Xian is very clever, and while not saying anything, he does not follow Solandelle's rhythm.

Solandelle continued, "Then can I understand that if this so-called 'curse' does not exist, there is no need to imprison Chino?" ”

Lan Xian said slowly, "First of all, this curse obviously exists - Chino is constantly hunted by visitors from outside the sky, this is the best proof of this, if he is no different from us, why do visitors only stare at him and not hunt down others?" Secondly, the concept of curses was said by your good friend Chino himself, and if you have doubts about it, you should not come and question me, you should question him. ”

"Sorry to interrupt." Chino spoke up again and said lightly, "Lord Lan Xian doesn't seem to have a good memory, I have already stated at the second meeting that the so-called "curse" I mentioned is just to concretely explain what happened to me, so I threw out the concept of "curse" to help you understand better. I never said it was a curse, and I don't know what it is. ”

Lan Xian didn't give Solandale and Chino a chance to sing and harmonize, and directly took over the topic with his keen thinking: "But in my opinion, this is a curse in the true sense." What is the curse? is a punishment. You are constantly hunted by visitors from all over the world, and you are constantly in danger, and you have trouble sleeping and eating, which is obviously a sign of punishment. If this is not a curse, is it a blessing? ”

Chino chuckled lightly and asked in a mocking tone, "Then may I ask, what did I do that hurt heaven and reason, and I must suffer this punishment?" ”

Lan Xian didn't think twice: "This question, I think you should reflect on yourself." I learned from the intelligence that you have been a lazy and cowardly person since you were a child, and with the residual reputation of your family, you barely became a civil affairs official in a border town, and since then you have been eating vegetarian meals and waiting for death - lazy, weak, powerful, incompetent... Whether in literature or historical legends, such people are often the most 'favored' objects of curses. ”

Lan Xian's words not only suppressed Solandelle's argument that "the curse may not exist", but also shook out Chino's personal black history, occupying the dual commanding heights of truth and morality, and his sharp thinking made the parliamentarians present impressed.

Lan Xian took the initiative, Edward finally had a chance to get back on the field, he felt that he could do it again, and stood up again: "As Lan Xian said, maybe the gods can't stand your laziness, so they put a curse on you, Chino Van Helsing." ”

"Thank you for mentioning his name, Lord Edward." Solandelle suddenly saw the stitches and snatched back the right to speak, she didn't give others a chance to speak, she walked straight to the judgment seat, stretched out her hand and pointed at Chino, her eyes narrowed slightly, "I have a question for everyone - is this person, is it really Chino Van Helsing?" ”

Edward couldn't help frowning: "What? You don't even recognize your best friend? ”

"The people we're talking about may not be the same." Solandale paced slowly in front of the courtroom, looking sideways at Chino, his tone as hidden as the Black Sea: "My friend Chino Van Helsing, is the polite, erudite, never insulting civilian, the first in battle, and the first in every invasion of foreign visitors, known to the world as the "Twilight Death". ”

"And the Chino Van Helsing in your mouth is the civil magistrate of Shilin Town, who eats vegetarian food, does nothing, relies on the family to ascend to the throne, and only knows how to eat and wait for death every day."

"These two people, are they the same person?"

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell into a short dead silence, and it seemed that even the sound of breathing disappeared, and the needle drop could be heard.

Immediately afterwards, Andre in the audience narrowed his eyes and subconsciously said: "Personality change..."

"Yes. Thanks for the addition, second brother. Solandale nodded to Andre, then looked at the crowd and continued, "Throughout the trial, everyone intentionally or unintentionally overlooked a key point - Chino's personality transformation. ”

"According to the judge's investigation report and the confessions of some witnesses, on the 8th of last year's "Divine Blessing", Chino Van Helsing, then the civil affairs officer of Shilin Town, suddenly changed his personality, both in personality and behavior patterns.

"The once incompetent civil affairs officer of Xilin Town, suddenly used iron-fisted means to kill a hundred people, suppressed the frivolous style of the army with the death of a captain, and forcefully cracked the smuggling case of the Mirlo caravan, found the smuggling method of salt crystal, and even with only the strength of a town, led the army to repel the invasion of the horse bandit thousand-man team against the desert fire, killed a dragon knight with giant blood alone, hid in the corpse of the giant to break through the outer blockade, captured the enemy Dadan, and was finally promoted to the current administrator of Twilight City."

"The contrast is so great that we didn't find a reason, and Chino didn't explain it, and probably because of this, everyone's focus was elsewhere, and this key piece of information was ignored intentionally or unintentionally. But do you really think this is something that can be ignored? ”

As Solandale said, this information was ignored intentionally or unintentionally, everyone was concerned about the visitors from outside the world, and the so-called "curse", and no one paid attention to Chino's personality transformation, after all, it had nothing to do with their family or their own interests.

There are also people who feel that the so-called "personality change" does not exist at all, and Chino has always been that Chino, strong and fierce, the so-called weakness, incompetence, and laziness before... It's just his disguise, just to confuse the people around him, lurking like a sinister viper, waiting for a suitable moment to rise.

But what the truth is, who knows ...

Now that Solandale is bringing it up again, it means that the question is back in the spotlight, and it must be answered.

"Click, click, click...", the sound of crisp footsteps echoed through the silent synagogue, and Solandale walked to the judgment seat and looked up at her friend.

"Administrator Chino, this is the first time I've addressed you so formally, because now I'm not your friend, I'm just a Dorguland citizen who wants to find out the truth, just like everyone present." Solandelle looked directly at Chino's amber eyes, and his voice was deep, but it hid unshakable power, "My next question, please be sure to answer it truthfully, and don't hold back—"

"You, is it Chino van Helsin?"
