"We demand reciprocity," the keeper asked. Virus's voice came from outside the field, causing everyone to look in that direction. Except for Fang Plover, everyone in the Kaolin-Ithurian delegation was there.
Xiaoyao and Mulan also waved in this direction. Fang Yu also saw Dill and Liuli, and he didn't know how the latter's game was going, he thought.
The Continental League has a long schedule, and maybe Liuli’s game has already ended, and they just have to wait for the others to return to Kaolin-Ishulian. I just don't know what his grades are. Judging from the guy's usual stinky face, Fang Pliance can't guess it.
Virus walked out of the Corrin-Ithurian delegation and continued to speak to the Keeper: "Dear Keeper of the Silver Tower, Keeper of the Great Library. We are involved in this incident. Because our contestants discovered that the selectors of the first division were involved in persecuting civilians, this incident started in the Hart Principality, and involved Ash-Lynn's past with the empire twenty years ago, and ended with Ayin Block. , all initiated by the people who came to the guild when death came to them.”
"Our contestants were just forced to stop them, and in the process they clashed with the Ayinbrok Patrol Guards. According to the Stargate regulations, it is not illegal to prevent others from violating the regulations. The Empire is also a Stargate. We are a party to the declaration, so this reason also applies within the empire. It’s just that the Ayinbrok Patrol Guards do not agree with our statement, so this arbitration will take place.”
"Then I ask for a reciprocal ruling. If our contestants prove that what they say is true, then the Ayinbrok Patrol Guards also need to prove their innocence to explain why they acted together with the people who died in the guild that day."
"I object," before she could finish speaking, a voice from the Seven Mage Family interrupted. Fang Plover looked in that direction and saw that the person speaking was a member of the Clegg family. The magicians of the Dragon family were all wearing red robes, which also showed their identity as elementalists.
The person who spoke was an elf user, a high-level profession of elemental user, similar to a title like Great Mage. Even if the speaker is not the head of the Clegg family, he is probably someone with an extraordinary status in the dragon family.
"Who is that?" Tianlan asked.
"The eldest son of the Earl of Crege," Baggins replied, "I have met this man on other occasions when I traveled with the lord in the past. Although he is not the current head of the family of Crege, his status is almost the same. This man has a gloomy mind and is deeply trusted by Duke Hawke.”
The others did not speak and listened to the count's son's reasons for his objections. That reason is not new at all. It is still an old saying from Hawke's side. It is the duty of the Ayinbrock Patrol Guards to arrest suspects and investigate old events from twenty years ago.
They may have made a misjudgment due to wrong intelligence, but they should not be tried for this. Otherwise, who would dare to perform their duties loyally for His Majesty the Emperor in the future? All in all, all the faults were caused by death coming to the guild and had nothing to do with the empire.
After hearing this, the secret keeper cast his gaze in the direction of the people present at the Death Advent Guild. There was silence over there, and he did not refute this. Fang Yu had expected this. The Death Come Guild, the Ayinbrok Patrol Guards, and Duke Hawke were colluding behind the scenes. It was expected that they would take the initiative to take responsibility.
But that's enough.
The secret keeper said, "This lady."
"Virus," Virus replied, "I understand, then I will instead demand a reciprocal ruling on the Death Advent Guild."
"If they don't object."
But there was still silence in the direction where Death Comes Guild.
The Keeper waited for a moment, nodded, opened the large dark blue book with Anji's holy emblem in front of him, and placed one hand on the page, "I declare that the arbitration has begun."
Then he read the rules to the crowd.
Those Fang Plovers were all familiar to him. After all, he had known in his mind that such a day would come to him. This is also the strategy set by Virus and Bai Xue. Since the intervention of the Dragon Knight, there are only a few possibilities left for the Empire and the Kaulin-Ithurians.
Either both parties must compromise together, or continue wrangling endlessly. But if you want to put an end to this, apart from war - then there is only one possibility left, and that is the ruling under Anji's Realm of Truth, ordering His Majesty the Emperor to send the Scroll Knights to intervene in the matter.
No matter how warlike the Oshurs are, it is impossible for the empire to conflict with the Kaulin-Ithurians over such a trivial matter, so endless wrangling seems inevitable. But Fang Yu still has a trump card in his hand, and that is Tenerik.
As long as it mentions this matter in the Silver Helmet Holy Court, it may prompt His Majesty the Emperor to intervene. Although I don’t know what Tenerik said in the end, it seems that the other party is much more reliable than imagined. With the joint promotion of him and Friston, the emperor really had an idea——
And also let Duke Hawke take the initiative to bring up the matter of the Scroll Knight.
Of course Fang Yu understood why the other party did this, but this was exactly what he wanted to see. A huge smoke bomb that had been planted since the beginning of the Hart Principality unexpectedly worked wonders at this time.
He used his hand to explore the gray crystal in his pocket, and the smooth surface of the crystal carving responded with a cold touch.
However, Tianlan and Papalar were obviously still confused. Luo Hao explained the details of the arbitration to them respectively——
Specifically, the Keeper is not the judge, but the conductor of the ceremony. They are acting on behalf of Angina's power, but they are not allowed to go beyond the laws of the world and decide what is right and wrong.
Anjina values knowledge, the laws and order of the world, but right and wrong, good and evil themselves are not within the scope of his concern, and neither are his followers.
Therefore, arbitration must be limited to the scope permitted by imperial laws and Stargate Statutes, which is why they must obtain the consent of the person being judged before conducting a trial. They do not actively conduct trials, but merely determine the truth.
But the realm of truth is the power of God after all. Under the watchful eye of God, both parties subject to arbitration will make explanations and make a contract. Once it takes effect, one party must pay the price. Anji cast her gaze on the mortal world, and not everyone could bear this gaze easily.
This is why the Realm of Truth is called Judgment.
Tian Lan seemed to understand.
But the keeper had already put his hand on the book and made the final oath, and at that moment a miracle happened. Light blue light patterns appeared from mid-air, shrouded the square, and slowly descended, like a gaze hanging from the clouds, falling on everyone in the square.
But at the moment when the blue light pattern reached his body, Fang Yu felt his body sink slightly, as if there was something in his mind. That feeling is a bit strange, somewhere between a state that can be felt but cannot be described in words.
“The realm of honesty has arrived.”
The secret keeper replied calmly.
Angina is a watcher of history and a recorder of truth, and so are its believers. Therefore, the secret keeper himself did not ask questions, but only turned his attention to the patrolling guards.
The young man then looked towards Fang Pliance and his group, restrained the malice in his heart, and simply asked: "What is your identity?"
Tian Lan spoke subconsciously: "Tian Lan's fantasy, a member of the Seven Seas Brigade."
Then she made a surprised 'Ah' sound and covered her mouth.
"Ed, the leader of the Seven Seas Brigade." Fang Plover answered, and then said to Tianlan, "As long as you speak, you must speak the truth. If the other party is trying to induce you to speak, you need to be careful to restrain your thoughts of answering."
Only then did Tian Lan realize the power of Anji's Realm of Truth and nodded quickly.
Others also said their names one by one.
After the big cat man spoke, he looked to one side of the square and felt a gaze looking in this direction from there.
But in the sea of people, it is difficult to detect the source of the gaze.
"My name is Etila Greenhill-Zhongxing," Miss Elf hesitated for a moment before speaking softly, "A member of the Seven Seas Brigade."
Among the crowd, one gold and one silver pair of eyes stared in this direction from afar. The colleagues beside her were obviously surprised and wanted to step forward, but the female knight reached out to stop them. She put her other hand on the sword and her long ears twitched slightly.
The crowd seemed to be aware of something unusual behind them. Several eyes looked in this direction and fell on these strangely dressed knights.
The girl looked at them, her cold eyes so piercing that no one dared to look at her.
There were a group of seven people there, all wearing long gray-green cloaks. There was no trace of their origins, but there was only a strange emblem on the collar -
Gray buds are spreading and growing under the shadow.
"It turns out that this is Sister Aitila's real name," Tianlan said curiously, "Sister Aitila's real name is so long, I have never heard of it before."
The big cat man grinned.
But Fang Yu always felt that the name sounded familiar. He couldn't help but look in the direction of the Seven Magician Family, because the magicians over there seemed to be making some commotion.
On the side, Jita raised her head unexpectedly——
Ming Zheng stood up from his seat. Even the snack in his hand was no longer fragrant. He was looking at Fang Plover with wide eyes, as if he was looking at some little monster.
Virus turned around and looked at her.
Both of them saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
"...The royal family of elves," the red-robed magicians of the Clegg family were making a commotion and making surprised sounds, passing the name over and over again, "The stars...which temple is she the horned one of?" Beast girl?...Why is there an elf saint here?"
But the turmoil among the magicians did not spread to ordinary people.
To most people, this was just a common name, even to that young man. He didn't expect to get any useful information from the other party's identity, this was just a fixed link.
He was about to speak again, but suddenly there was a commotion in a corner of the square. I saw a group of guild selectors wearing black and white shirts swarming in from there. The paladins guarding that direction stepped forward to stop these people and shouted to each other:
"Who are you?"
But the leading young man ignored it and shouted directly to the center of the square: "Tianlan, get out of here!"
His voice was not loud, but it immediately spread throughout the audience. As soon as Tian Lan saw the young man, he immediately said "ah" like a mouse seeing a cat. She stopped pretending to be cool and hurriedly shrank her body and hid behind Luo Yu, looking frightened.
"Dragon Knight!"
Everyone in the square gasped.
This time they recognized it. The young man who spoke was at least a dragon knight. The ability that the other party used before was the dragon knight domain.
Another dragon knight.
The knights drew their swords one after another, as if facing a powerful enemy.
But Fang Yu was more shocked than these people, because he knew this person - the regicide Halsey, the Ten Nightingale Kings. At the same time, he is also the vice-president of Twelve-Colored Iris. Forin, the talented player of Twelve-Colored Iris, is standing behind these people at the moment.
He looked at Tianlan with some confusion. How could the Ten Nightingale Kings of the Giant Tree Hill know Tianlan?
Facing a dragon knight, the secret keeper finally spoke, "Mr. Dragon Knight, please explain your purpose."
"I'm looking for someone." Halsey said bluntly.
"If the person you are looking for is in this square, please wait until the arbitration is over." The secret keeper replied.
Halsey didn't object, and looked in the direction of Fang Plover and his group and nodded.
Fang Yu looked at Tianlan, but the little girl's eyes moved around, pretending not to see, in short, she just didn't look at him.
At this time, the young man who had been impatient for a long time said, "Can we continue?" He was a little dissatisfied that he should be the protagonist, and was about to force Fang Plover and his party into a corner step by step. go.
Although he couldn't guess what Fang Yu and his party were thinking at the moment, he secretly thought that it wouldn't be much better. As a result, so many extraneous things happened, which made him feel that something was wrong.
The Keeper nodded to him and motioned for him to continue.
The young man then asked: "On the day of the incident, were you in Ayinbrok and had a fight with the patrolling guards?"
This is also a fixed link, and everyone answered yes.
He looked at Laila again, "Miss Laila, are you a descendant of the Linn family and have a close relationship with the Linn family?"
Laila turned pale and nodded slightly.
"Okay," the young man said, "I have confirmed that my identity is correct. The patrol guard received a tip that day, and evidence closely related to the Ash-Lynn incident twenty years ago appeared in Ayin Block. Miss Laila Since she has a close relationship with the Lynn family, it is not impossible that Ash Lynn’s manuscript is in her hands.”
"Although Ash Lynn's manuscript belongs to the Lynn family," he continued in front of everyone, "it is also an important evidence of the past twenty years ago, so we invited Miss Laila to assist The investigation should be reasonable, right?"
The secret keeper said nothing.
He is not an arbiter, but a witness.
"But Ms. Virus's request for reciprocal judgment on the Patrol Guards was rejected," Xiaoyao said with a pity, "The Realm of Truth is only effective for answers, but we can't take the initiative to ask questions, so we can only passively defend. Let them stand in judgment. On the one hand, it is actually very disadvantageous for Ed and the others."
"What are you worried about," Mu Lan said angrily, "Sister Ming and Ms. Virus will naturally find a solution."
There was a lot of discussion in the square.
But Fang Plover had a lot of time to spare.
The young man did not shed tears when he saw that he did not see the coffin, and continued: "You fought with the Patrol Guards to comply with the Stargate regulations, but we also obtained other information, saying that you were involved in the Ash-Lynn incident. Deeply involved. Miss Sylvide Albert Spica, your father was once a close friend of Sir Ash-Lynn and visited the Stag Principality once twenty years ago. Am I right? "
Sylvide was startled for a moment, then smiled slightly and nodded.
"But that doesn't mean anything!"
Tianlan finally couldn't help it anymore, stuck her head out from behind Luo Yu, and protested. But she immediately felt two eyes falling on her, one from Halsey and one from Fang Plover. She hurriedly lowered her head and hid again.
The young man didn't care about Tian Lan's rhetorical question and continued: "So the conflict you had with the Death Advent Guild in the Hart Principality was not because of the Star Gate Protocol, but because you coveted Ash Lynn's manuscript and planned to intervene. This is about it, right?"
"I object," Virus said immediately. "This is a leading question. I ask our contestants to explain the facts in detail."
The secret keeper looked at Fang Plover, who nodded.
The young man kept his mouth shut and didn't seem to object.
Only then did Fang Plover tell in detail what happened to them in the Hart Principality, how they met the old servant of the Lynn family, how they helped each other, and how they forged the Ash-Lynn manuscript.
Of course, he didn't tell anyone about the Star Device and the Gray Crystal. In the Realm of Truth, you can only speak the truth and cannot distort the facts - but that doesn't mean you need to say everything.
After he finished speaking, the blue light pattern showed no reaction.
The wizards whispered to each other - it was true. The eldest son of the Earl of Crege frowned and looked in the direction of the young man.
But the young man was confident, and he had reason to believe in his own judgment—the fact that the people from the Death Advent Guild were investigating the Ash-Lynn manuscript in the Hart Principality was certainly not groundless. But after the Battle of the North, they spent a great deal of money to have the magicians of the prophecy faction of the Golden Goat family make accurate predictions to determine the location of their manuscript.
After Fang Yu and his party claimed to have taken the 'manuscript' away, the prophecy wizards of Eisengreen once again confirmed that the manuscript had indeed been transferred from the Hart Principality to the empire.
After that, Fang Yu personally showed the gray crystal in front of him in a "furious" manner. With the multiple evidences added together, the possibility of misjudgment was almost zero.
And now is the best time for them to confirm the location of Ash-Lynn's manuscript.
The young man said lightly, "Maybe you thought so at the time, but people change. Maybe you changed your mind after that and found a way to take away Ash Lynn's manuscript."
He spread his hands and said, "I have a conclusive evidence to prove this, that is, who is in the hands of Ash Lynn's manuscript at this moment. If Miss Laila is innocent and you are innocent too, then the manuscript is It shouldn’t be on any of you—”
Fang Yu hesitated for a moment and nodded.
The young man noticed his hesitation, showing his surprise at catching the prey, and immediately asked: "So Mr. Ed, is Ash-Lynn's manuscript in your possession now?"
Fang Plover raised his head and replied:
"No."
The air was quiet for a moment.
The young man was obviously stunned for a moment, and immediately added: "All members of the Seven Seas Brigade, as well as Miss Lila, do you have Ash-Lynn's manuscript with you?"
But everyone shook their heads and gave a negative answer.
The square fell silent, and even ordinary people could see that the arbitration had reached its most critical moment. The magicians also stopped whispering and cast doubtful eyes in this direction.
The young man was obviously shaken, but he immediately calmed himself down and continued to ask: "Then let me ask, during the journey from the Hart Principality to Ayin Block, from the day of the Ayin Block incident to today, Ash -Was Lynn’s manuscript ever in any of your possessions?”
His voice became a little sharp, "Everyone must answer!"
"I object," Virus said. "The scope of the question is too broad. This arbitration should only involve the Aiyin Block incident. Other than that, it should have nothing to do with us."
She wasn't worried about Fang Plover, but she was worried about Lyla. She is also from a large guild herself, so she certainly understands that most of the actions behind these guilds are well-planned. If there is no real source of information, she will never go to war in such a big way.
The young man immediately retorted, "Ms. Virus, I am asking questions related to Sir Ash-Lynn's past events twenty years ago, and they should not be excluded."
The two looked at the secret keeper, who nodded.
The young man turned his attention to the Nanhai Brigade and his group.
But Fang Yu looked at him with some pity, and he said decisively, "Of course not."
"No." The big cat man shook his head.
"Me neither!" Tian Lan replied loudly.
Others also denied it.
The air in the square was deathly silent.
The young man's face became paler and paler, and he was screaming in his heart that this was impossible. All the evidence pointed to the other party concealing the truth, but even he could not question the effectiveness of Angina's Realm of Truth - unless he wanted to be there on the spot. Get a kick.
His eyes scanned everyone one by one, and finally landed on Laila. The pale-faced girl was still silent and looked panicked. The young man seemed to be grasping a life-saving straw and shouted: "Miss Laila, what's your answer?"
"I...I..." Laila stammered, "I..."
"You must answer," snapped the young man, "whether it was ever in your possession!"
Laila lowered her head and answered laboriously:
"Yes, it is……"
The young man was almost exhausted, almost feeling lucky to survive the disaster. But then hysterical madness surged into his heart, and he couldn't help pointing in that direction and shouting to the guards, "It's confirmed, catch her!"
Laila took a step back in fright and almost fell to the ground.
But Sylvide put a hand behind her to support her.
Fang Yu also took a step forward and stopped in front of the girl. In front of everyone, the secret keeper also stretched out his hand to stop the young man.
There was calm in the square, and faint blue light patterns floated above the arbitration court. There was no reaction to Laila or the young man's words - God's ruling had not been issued.
"What's going on!?" The young man almost jumped up to three feet, "Why is there no ruling!? I have confirmed that Ash-Lynn's manuscript is in her possession, and everything has been settled! "
But Fang Yu looked at him and said:
"I'm afraid you made a mistake."
"This arbitration is about whether we have violated the Stargate Statutes, and whether the motive of the Ayinbrok Patrol Guards' attack on Laila is really as pure as they said," Fang Yu replied word by word, " Sir Ash-Lynn's manuscript was in Laila's hands, so what? The manuscript originally belonged to the Linn family, and you have already determined her identity."
He paused briefly.
Then he spoke again:
"Then, according to Ms. Virus's proposal. Since Ash-Lynn's manuscript has nothing to do with us, now we have proven our innocence," Fang Yu looked at the Ayin Block Patrol Guards, especially the shocked one. The director turned pale, "Is it now the turn of death for the guild to prove itself?"
The young man's mind was in turmoil. He couldn't figure out why things went beyond expectations. The other party had obviously shown everything owned by Ash Lynn, so how could this matter have nothing to do with them? He vaguely felt that he might have fallen into the other party's trap.
But now is not the time to admit defeat, at least it is confirmed that Ash's manuscript is on the girl. He quietly wiped his sweat and continued following his somewhat chaotic thoughts, "Wait a minute, since Ash-Lynn's manuscript is on Miss Laila's possession. That at least means that the Patrol Guard's investigation of her was not without reason... Maybe it was a misunderstanding that you were involved, but the fact that Ash-Lynn's manuscript is here is enough to prove..."
Since it is no longer possible to retaliate against these Kaolin-Ithurians, at least get the manuscript of Ash-Lynn first and pick out the patrol guards.
This was the subconscious thought in the young man's mind at this moment, but he was only halfway through his words when he suddenly saw Fang Plover smiling at him maliciously.
Fang Yu looked at Virus aside and saw the iceberg goddess walking up to the stage and handing a book of notes into his hand. Fang Plover raised the note, waved it in front of the other party, and then asked Laila who was standing aside: "Laila, is this Sir Ash's manuscript you mentioned earlier?"
Laila was slightly startled, looked at the silver-gray cover of the note, and nodded slightly.
Fang Yu smiled warmly at her, then turned back to look at the young man, "Is this the Ash-Lynn manuscript you are talking about?"
As he spoke, he gently threw the thing forward, and dropped the notebook not far from the young man, landing on the edge of the Realm of Truth.
Laila sighed softly, looking a little heartbroken.
But the young man couldn't care about anything else at the moment, and subconsciously took a step forward and picked up the note. He opened it casually and saw a small line of text written on the silver-gray title page:
'My Elements and Magic, Introduction
——Another solution to the secret of the stars, Ash-Lynn, November 4, 1082. '
His eyes widened, and his hands trembled more and more. With his mind in chaos, he couldn't help but blurt out: "What the hell is this! What I want is Ash-Lynn's manuscript, which is the design of the Star Device..."
The moment he said the Star Device, he suddenly reacted, his mind was agitated, and he subconsciously closed his mouth. I wanted to change my words, but when I looked back, I realized that I had entered the realm of truth.
The other party did it on purpose!
The young man suddenly broke down in a cold sweat.
…
