"You can't just take us away!"
Outside the door of the Adventurers Association, Mengzhu and Xiao Hongchen had been twisted and taken out. Although they were a little embarrassed, they still did not confess their sins easily in front of everyone, because the development of this matter seemed to have gone beyond captured their imagination.
"Where are the defense maps? We were wronged! We have something to say!"
The little girl kept jumping back and forth while pushing back the soldiers who wanted to escort her away, and kept repeating: "We are just entrusted by others..."
"Dream Bamboo!"
Duan Qing, who was beside him, shouted in a low voice: "Stop talking...it doesn't make any sense."
"How is it possible? We don't know anything. As long as we can tell them what happened, maybe..."
"It's not that simple." Duan Qing, who was also being escorted behind him, glanced at the president of the Adventurer Association who was still standing aside: "How can such a thing... be explained clearly?"
"Then you jumped out on your own and admitted it so generously..." The little girl also lowered her voice: "What do you mean? Are we just taking the blame?"
"Don't worry, wait a moment, things will definitely turn around..."
"You guys!"
The powerful voice came to them at the same time as the twisting movements of several guards stopped. Tusker held the staff in one hand and patted the palm of the other hand: "What a lot of courage!"
"How dare you steal from my Tusker!"
"Uh, may I ask who you are..."
"You don't even know me! You are indeed a stupid little thief!" Tasker's tone rose a little: "You have offended the dignity of the nobles, I will cut you into pieces!"
"Excuse me, but I have just arrived in Tania not long ago." Duan Qing replied innocently: "Even our adventure group has not been established for a long time."
"You... you!" Tusker pointed at Duan Qing loudly, and after a while he shouted to the back: "Feriston! How do you manage your members! You are so... rude!"
"They are all adventurers." Ferriston, who had been silent for the whole time, stretched out an arm: "And adventurers are free-spirited people."
"Hmph!" Tusker snorted heavily: "So I don't understand why that guy Pamir believes in these untouchables..."
"Lord Tusker."
Frowning his brows, Ferriston suddenly interrupted the other party: "You just said...what did they steal from you?"
"The distribution of city guards in the capital of the principality... this is a secret!" Suddenly realizing that this was a public occasion, the bearded man's eyes changed and he glanced at the players around him: "How could I just tell you this?"
"Well, is that so..." Felicton lowered his head and thought for a moment, then turned to the other side and asked: "Are these people the ones you want to identify?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it is indeed this girl." Chenyu Canyue's voice came from that direction. When Duan Qing looked in that direction, that person was also looking here: "As for the other person..."
"I don't think it's the guy without the equipment."
"Are you... that soldier's companion?" Duan Qing chuckled and said, "That's a good fight."
"Hmph, stop pretending to be stupid." The answer was Chen Yu Canyue's sneer: "Just now you were provoking Brother Banli, but now you look innocent..."
"Provocation? I just want to escape safely." Duan Qing closed his eyes and shook his head: "I wonder if there is any misunderstanding between us..."
"Is there any misunderstanding? It's true that you broke into Master Tusk's home, right?" Chenyu Canfeng shook his finger: "You also wore a purple mask... Do you want to be a perverted robber?"
"It was just a temporary curtain...but when the alarm sounded, we were indeed inside." Duan Qing said: "We thought we were discovered, so we ran out, but we didn't take anything with us, and we didn't know Their family lost something important, after all..."
He wanted to make a gesture of spreading his hands, but when he raised his arms, he realized that his hands were still tied behind his back: "Well, I forgot... In short, we don't even know who Tusker is, and we don't even know who the guard commander is. Know……"
"Hey, you just don't know." Mengzhu said quietly: "The guard commander is the person in charge of the city guard. The leaders of these guards walking on the street..."
"...Of course I know this, but it's better for us to pretend not to know."
"Ah? Is that so? If you say you don't know, people probably won't believe this common-sense question..."
"Whatever, I said I'm a newbie who just created my account two months ago, but no one believes me."
Although the voice was very low, the unobtrusive appearance still allowed the people present at a close distance to clearly hear the whispers between them - Chenyu Canyue showed a strange expression, and Ferriston covered it with his hands. He covered his face, and the veins on Tusker's face that were standing opposite him were about to fall to the ground.
"Take them all away!" He roared: "I want to show them well!"
"Hey, we really don't know anything! Did you listen to what we just said!"
"It's useless to quibble, it's what you did - don't underestimate the intelligence capabilities of our Sword of Justice. We have noticed you in the past few days when you were active in the capital of the Principality, so we just did a little research afterwards and directly identified you. His whereabouts..."
"Sword of Justice? I didn't expect it to be you... was that soldier the same?"
"You're still challenging my patience, kid... It seems like you, a newbie, don't even know basic guild common sense..."
"Oh? Or should I call you 'Lord Tusker's Dust Rain Waning Moon'?"
"you……!"
"Calm down, Lord Tusker, and everyone."
In the chaotic commotion, Ferriston still calmed down the scene with his voice: "Since none of you have an accurate statement, let me follow my suggestion... let's leave this matter to Swain. How about it?"
The silence lasted for a short while, and the bearded Tusker slowly narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"
"Even if this matter is a theft case as you said, according to normal procedures, it should be handled by Swain who decides the dispute." Feriston's voice was low, as if he was narrating an ancient story: "This should be the case even if what they stole was some important... document."
"...You want them to go to court?" Tasker suppressed his voice: "And then be tried?"
"Yes." Ferriston nodded and replied, "This is the fairest way."
"Don't make people laugh." Tusker shook his head, but the expression on his face darkened: "How could the principality's sacred balance be opened because of these few little adventurers, not to mention that they may control Important information..."
"No matter how important the information is, it is not as important as human rights themselves. If you want to prove the truth, you can only stand under the sun." Ferriston's expression gradually became serious: "I have always thought so. As for my identity question……"
"I can be a guarantor for them, or an agent." He straightened his clothes, and then assumed the posture of a noble: "They are members of the Adventurers Association, and they are responsible for what they do...Yes What I should do.”
"you……"
Under the gaze of the onlookers, Tusker's eyes gradually narrowed: "Okay, okay... okay!"
"I didn't expect you to go so far. If this is the case... then I won't be afraid of you anymore!"
He waved his hand: "Guards! Go to Tar Avenue!"
"yes!"
Amidst the shouts of the guards, Duan Qing and others were pulled onto the avenue by them, and then their hands were released among the swords around them - Felix Stone, the president of the Adventurers Association, walked up with his hands behind his back. Beside them, he first looked at a few of them with gentle eyes, and then walked a few steps in front of them. What happened in the short period of time before was also seen by the surrounding players. The rumbling whispers naturally sounded among them, as if they were praying for these poor people. It’s like seeing off fellow adventurers.
"They are going to Tower Avenue? It seems like a good opportunity..."
"What's there to be envious of? The captured spies from the empire were sent to that place too..."
"So...there are already players here to become spies?"
"How do I know? I don't know them, but... Judging from their appearance, this matter must be hindered by the Sword of Justice."
"Then...they are indeed in danger."
"Yeah, it just happened to be against the Sword of Justice..."
While stumbling around, Duan Qing asked in a low voice again: "Where is Tar Avenue?"
"The most important avenue in the capital of the principality." Mengzhu answered with a hint of confusion in his voice: "Because... all the important officials and important affairs of the principality are almost gathered in that place, so there are very few people. Players can get close to there..."
Her eyes gradually focused on Duan Qing: "I didn't expect... we would actually have the opportunity to go."
"Although that's the reason." Duan Qing replied with a smile: "But it's better than being taken into a small dark room by that bearded man."
"snort!"
A cold snort sounded from near them. Duan Qing turned around and saw that Chen Yu Canfeng slowly approached them and said with a cold face: "I didn't expect that the president would be like this." To protect you...should I call you Lord Freestone's lackey?"
"Based on what I know about Ferriston in this short period of time, if this happens to you, you can also be called a lackey." Duan Qing said unceremoniously: "Because you are also an adventurer. ,Right?"
"Don't think that everything will be fine when you get to Tafa." Seeing that the sarcasm had no effect, Chenyu Canfeng began to threaten the other party: "In terms of relationships, how can you guys be better than our sword of justice..."
"Brother Chestnut and I are both regular customers of Tusker's staff. Uncle Knight has also been friends with Francis for a long time. Even that guy Swain has received a lot of help from our guild." His expression gradually became darker: " We are the sword of justice, and what we are best at is power struggle and public relations work in the game world..."
"You still don't have a chance." He shook his head and said, "It's just delaying time."
"It's not me who made this decision, but your master." Duan Qing also shook his head and said, "We are just passively accepting this series of fates. God knows how things will develop next."
"Ignorance... sometimes is also a kind of happiness." After staring at Duan Qing for a long time, Chenyu Canyue finally whispered: "Let me give you a piece of advice - it is impossible to rely on that Felixong to protect you. of."
"You will pay for messing with us."
"So when did we want to mess with you?" Duan Qing turned his head helplessly and said angrily: "We went around the house and didn't have time to do anything, so you complained. Are you on? It’s really a good king’s momentum..."
"No need to explain, Brother Banli told me all the details of what happened... Huh?"
The silence was like the cold wind in winter, slowly spreading the icy temperature to the departing team, even reaching the players who were still stationed at the entrance of the Adventurers Association. Some people first discovered something strange, and then told others about the scene they saw. Within a few seconds, everyone stopped talking in secret and turned their attention back to the team that was about to leave - to be precise. , is the front of that team.
At the intersection with the next street, at the crossroads ahead, several figures in crisp black uniforms appeared on the path that the team must pass. One of the middle-aged men with meticulously combed hair looked at the situation on the road, then walked forward slowly, pushing up the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "You..."
"Where are we going?"
The players at the rear looked at the speaker in stunned silence. After their indirect reminder, some unknown passers-by passing by the road gradually noticed the middle-aged man standing at the front: "Pa , Pa, Pa..."
"Pamir!"
"Is that Pamir?"
"Oh my God, the Speaker actually appeared here..."
"Is there another twist in this matter?"
"Sir Speaker!"
The powerful voice appeared again in Duan Qing's team - the man with the beard stepped in front of them in a few steps, his strong body almost completely blocking their sight: "You , how did you...come to this place?"
"I have some things that I want to discuss with Ferriston again." The speaker of the Supreme Council of Elnifea, the actual ruler of the principality, nodded to the guy whose voice and momentum were several heads higher than his. gave a simple response: "But Ferriston has declined many invitations, so I had to come by myself."
He looked at the other party's slightly nervous expression, then glanced at the people in the team, and then said in surprise: "Feriston... Your Excellency, why are you here?"
"Ah, Lord Pamir." The latter followed the standard noble etiquette: "I am traveling with Lord Tusker."
He smiled slightly: "Go to the tower."
"Oh?" The middle-aged man raised his brows, and then glanced back and forth: "Go to the sacred hall? Is there any irreconcilable conflict between you...?"
"No, not at all." Ferriston replied: "It's the adventurer under me who has some misunderstandings with Lord Tusker..."
"Is that so?" Pamir looked back and forth between Tusker and Ferriston for a while, and finally looked at the crowd behind him who vaguely wanted to come up to watch, but did not dare to come: "Between the adventurers and Tusker There is a misunderstanding...Does Swain need to make a decision?"
"Well, this matter is a bit troublesome. Let's move to another place..."
Just when Tusker was wiping the sweat from his face and trying to explain, the Speaker's glance suddenly settled on a certain place, and then he raised his hand to interrupt the other person's words.
"you……"
He walked around the strong body and walked up to Duan Qing: "You are..."
"Oh, Mr. Speaker." Duan Qing followed Ferriston's example and bowed slightly, then replied with a smile: "Hello."
"I am Mo Shang Qingshan."
