What happened to that matter now? This is not only a matter of concern to Mengzhu who is thousands of miles away. Players who have heard about it and are rushing to Redkar, the imperial capital, are also very interested in this issue, and even do not hesitate to use their strength. I began to look for every clue about the miracle that happened last night. The historian named Poole family and the Pamuir family, who claimed to be innocent in this incident, were quickly brought to the forefront by a group of people, along with everyone who had experienced the scenes they had experienced last night. A detail, and their statement that this incident had nothing to do with them was finally thrown aside by the players and the nobles of other empires with contempt.
Of course, the tone and attitude of the two parties seem to be very different.
"Your Excellency Historians, could the recent series of events in Redcar have been foreshadowed by prophecies?"
"Well... we don't know what these are foreshadowing. We are just faithfully recording these rumors that once circulated in the imperial capital..."
"What does this have to do with you being arrested last night? Have you already been coveted by those lawless people?"
"This, this, this... we don't know why we were arrested. If it hadn't been for that kind person who rescued us, we wouldn't know what our current fate would be..."
"Field! Did you hire someone to do it?"
"How, how is it possible? We have no enmity with the Poole family in the past and have no enmity in the recent past. Why do we want to trouble them?"
"So what do you say about last night's attack? You are also one of those people who want to rebel and assassinate the emperor, right?"
"It's unfair, it's unfair! We just wanted to take people to take revenge on the Amfleet family last night. We never expected that such a coincidence would happen - ah, no, I meant..."
Continuous inquiries continued to appear around the residences of the two families as time passed, and became more and more intense as the sun rose on February 29, 796, Fire in the Free World. The group of players who criticized the Chancellor of Finance later even had some signs of rioting. The idea of using the method of beating a drowned dog to force out some useful information was hurriedly stopped by the soldiers of the empire - even though they had already experienced this Although there are strong winds and waves, the imperial guards who remain here still uphold their respective guard duties and maintain the internal order of the city. Some of the soldiers who have experienced last night's battle are also maintaining a high degree of self-discipline. With the same ordinary emotions as before, he looked at the nobles in the city who were already in chaos with equal eyes.
In their eyes, these formerly arrogant imperial nobles have now become a group of ants in a hot pot.
"How could this happen? How could Prime Minister Caldera do such an unwise move? At least...at least they should discuss it with us, right?"
"The Ida family is actually one of the masterminds? Does Trilik already care about his son's life and death? No, no... Is everything that Volavos did true? Is that a response to what happened last night? A preview of this incident?"
"If you think about it this way, then everything that happened in the court that day might have been a big show for the emperor. No wonder the prime minister was so tight-lipped when he tried Volavos. That old guy Ida Didn’t even come forward…”
"Quick! Take back the people we sent to the Antel family! Now that they have put their feet in, we can no longer have anything to do with them!"
"The crime of killing the Emperor of the Fleur Empire is not something that ordinary imperial nobles can afford."
Sighing, he put away the parchment roll in his hand, and then the voice of Tristan Romilia came from the Hall of the Ministry of Law located in the central area of the imperial capital. At this time, the new prosecutor of the empire sat The only people on the sofa opposite the officer were Asahi Dongsheng and Gedman, two players he had just brought back from the soldiers: "After this incident, a large number of imperial nobles must have fallen from power."
"It seems that this time it's really a big deal." Holding back his tired screams and rubbing his chin, Gedman replied in a low voice: "I thought this time they were still after the previous incident. It was a small fight, but in the end something big happened..."
"Not bad! At least it's better than us coming back from death!" Asahi Dongsheng let out a burst of relieved laughter: "As for whether they are willing to give this pot to us for blacksmithing, I personally have no opinion. Anyway, ever since I entered this game, I have been taking the blame..."
"Walking doesn't mean you have to accept it, at least not this time." Interrupting the other party's deliberately protracted words, Gedman loosened the hand that had been rubbing his chin: "Even if we really become assassins of the emperor As a wanted criminal, it will take a lot of time and energy to escape from the empire's territory."
“Is it really okay to discuss these things in front of our prosecutors?”
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Tristan, who was sitting across the table, curled his lips and replied: "I hope you don't always think about doing these extra-legal things, but try to solve these troubles within the legal principles. ah."
"Within the law? No, no, no, this is not in line with the aesthetics of our adventurers." Asahi Dongsheng laughed and waved his hand: "And we have already caused you a lot of trouble. It is not good to continue to add to it. ah."
"No matter how bad the adventurer is, he will still abide by the most basic moral principles." Gedman on the side then crossed his hands and shook his head: "Being able to get us back under such circumstances has already put your burden on your shoulders. Are you under a lot of pressure? We can't continue to bother you any more."
"I'm not afraid of these troubles. I don't have any deep feelings about the future of the empire."
Grinning with the same smile, Tristan said frankly to the two players: "If it weren't for self-protection, I wouldn't be a small official in the Ministry of Law according to the arrangements of the big princes. The reason why I chose to rescue you two was purely for my selfish reasons."
"After all, I have never seen the faces and actions of those imperial nobles, and I have never easily sided with them because of their kindness." After saying this, he moved slightly closer to the direction of the two players. The smile on his face also had a strange feeling: "Now that they are standing on the edge of collapse, it's time to use some of the skills I have reserved."
"...It seems that you are not a good person." They looked at each other, and Asahi Dongsheng replied with a surprised look on his face: "I originally thought that you were a flat boat like us, but I didn't expect that you turned out to be a different person in the end. Became a crocodile?"
"I'm just relying on the instinct left in the Free City." Tristan waved his hand: "The nobles of the empire are also a group of power strugglers who make no concessions. It's just that they compete with each other. It just gave me some breathing space."
"You have forgotten your identity as a free city." Patting his forehead, Goldman said in a low voice: "Compared with the previous war between the throne holders, what happened here is more important to you. It shouldn’t be considered a big storm, right?”
"I originally came back to my hometown to enjoy some leisure time. It's not what I wanted to do. It's just that the Anfleet family has taken care of me a lot before, and I do this to repay their favor." Without showing any sign of pride, Tristan shook his head slightly: "But this is how it is among nobles. Once there is any connection with grudges, the road will start to go further and further... …whispering sound."
"Let's get back to the topic." He waved his hand, as if he wanted to drive away the helplessness lingering on his head: "Doing this kind of thing alone is not something you can just talk about. I am currently alone, so I need some... manpower."
"You need our help?"
Pointing to the tip of his nose, the surprise on Asahi Dongsheng's face became more obvious: "Really or not? The two of us?"
"I know you are in an awkward situation now, but after all, every extra manpower counts." A sincere smile appeared on Tristan's face: "As long as you nod, I will solve your problems, and then... I will give you some tasks that are consistent with your status, and give you appropriate rewards and rewards."
"This is different from the long-term benefits provided by the Adventurers Association." He pointed at the faces of the two adventurers: "Now that President Amman is suffering from the same crisis, this job can be said to be better than the Adventurers Association. It’s a thousand times better way out, if I hadn’t seen you two fall in love with me, I wouldn’t have extended such an invitation to you.”
"...This is not the first time we have received your care."
After looking at each other, the eyes of the two players, one axe and one shield, intertwined inadvertently: "But we cannot make a decision easily on matters like this."
"I know, I know, your adventure group called Qing Ling is still nominally the leader of the guy from Linyuan Duanshui, right?"
Blinking his eyes, Tristan pushed his hands: "Although I think he will probably not refuse our proposal, I will still give you a certain amount of time to consider it."
"I know what you want to imply, but we are also people who lived and died together with that man." Goldman raised his eyebrows: "Even if we follow 'alone', at least we have to go through His consent."
"As expected of an adventurer who insists on having morality, he can even put aside his supreme interests." The smile in Tristan's eyes became thicker and thicker: "Three days, I will give you three days, otherwise……"
"I will probably leave the task of detecting the wandering magician to other subordinates."
Following his gesture, the two people's eyes fell on a corner at the door of this room. One of the two guards in black who was responsible for guarding this place nodded silently, and then turned around. Walked out the door. The endgame after the sudden change in the empire also appeared under the sunshine of the clear sky with the departure of this person. The figure blending into the street did not look much different from the people of the imperial capital who were running back and forth. A group of people dressed in similar attire in black near a tavern in the north of the imperial capital also made their own moves in response to the arrival of certain news: "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, it should be that person."
"Since there is no need to investigate, then why..."
"Maybe it's just a test."
In the darkness of the alley, two or three men in black appeared to leave, accompanied by a low voice coming from an unknown source: "After all, the situation is different now. If you operate it properly, ——”
“The moment we have been waiting for may have arrived.”
On the opposite side of the street, an owner who had set up a stall there all year round nodded silently. After a while, near the ruins of the Golden Tavern, a worker who was cleaning the ground put down his broom and walked aside, sending a silent message. Later, the figure of the worker walking out of the other side of the street was also heard to a flower shop on another street. Finally, as a carriage passed by, it gradually drove towards the direction of the Landner family. One of the two coachmen driving the carriage then silently jumped off the front of the carriage and looked at each other with the other man who looked like a butler who had been waiting there early: "That's it."
"No hurry, that adult is meeting another guest."
With a somewhat relieved expression on his face, the butler then shook his head: "Let's talk about it after this meeting is over."
"...Is it an important meeting?"
"have no idea."
As if he didn't want to have too much conversation with the coachman, the housekeeper turned and walked towards the gate of the Randall family: "But let's hear that little girl introduce herself..."
"Her background is not small."
As a member of the imperial aristocracy, the Landnar family was also affected by the shock of the empire. At this time, family members and servants of all sizes were following the information and orders from the family master. He kept going back and forth to the inside and outside of the door, and from time to time there were scenes of the embers of war left over from last night's battle. His face was redecorated with an anxious yet calm expression. The butler who successfully blended into the scene just passed through the center of this busy courtyard quietly. A room completely different from those of mansions. The inconsistent little concierge then appeared at the end of the housekeeper's walking direction, and at the same time, two conversations in the concierge gradually appeared in his ears: "I just passed by this place by chance, miss, I didn't What you said is so noble.”
"Then you at least know the meaning of what happened last night, right? How much do you really know?"
"I don't know, and I don't know you either. Miss Qian Zhihe, who claims to be the messenger - are you really the representative of the Mages Council?"
"You must know me!"
The voice with the girl's special emblem suddenly became louder.
"We've met a few times in Tania! Mr. Rex!" 8)
