"Is it almost time?"
At the same moment, on the high platform of Tania Church District, low voices of conversation floated gently into the gloomy sky as the cold wind passed by, forming a sharp contrast with the bustling scene in the central square below: "The goal we were waiting for has arrived."
"I don't think things will get that simple."
Through the low sound of conversation, another figure appeared looming in the reflection of the sun. However, if passersby passed by nearby, they would be surprised that there was no one in the direction where the faint sound of conversation came from - the light of magic At the edge of the shrouded high platform, a man named Huan Meng in a trench coat was standing with his arms folded in the sky where the light was hidden. He pressed his hood and looked down at the square below. He then shook his head and put away his sigh. , but there was an inexplicable smile at the corner of his mouth: "Rather, I don't want things to become so simple, otherwise there may not be more good shows to watch."
"According to the information I have now, the show will definitely start." Crouching on the side of the high platform to check something, Asahi Dongsheng, who was also in this secret space, heard the sound and replied without looking back: "But I'm different from you. I always pursue efficiency and conciseness in my work. What I did last night was enough to break my leg. I don't want to see more accidents appear out of thin air... Let's end this smoothly. The scene is already big enough."
"After so many years of experience in the virtual reality world, the rule I have concluded is that big scenes will definitely end in big scenes."
Huan Meng, who still looked contented and stood on the edge of the high platform with his arms folded, seemed to be enjoying the situation where he would fall and lose his footing if he took one step forward. The slight fluctuations followed the path of the cold winter wind. Passing by him, an imperceptible spherical boundary zone is drawn on the surface of those layers of hidden shields: "Instead of racking your brains to think about how to survive such a grand funeral, it is better to enjoy this moment. At least we won’t live up to our boring wait for such a long time...how about it?”
"Both the shielding magic circle and the soundproof barrier are operating normally, and there is no problem with the windproof barrier." Asahi Dongsheng on the side clapped his hands and stood up: "Although we are responsible for guarding, it seems that the two of us don't need it in the first place. What effort does it take?”
"It doesn't matter. After all, the situation has developed to this point. A peaceful solution is simply impossible." Pointing to the square in the distance with his chin, Huanmeng's eyes then turned to the side, right in the middle of the high platform where they were standing. : "It's nothing more than what kind of extravagant chores they will create and what kind of drama they will perform for us."
"We have made so many preparations in the early stage and used various channels to spread the news to attract them. Even if it is worth the time and energy we waste, we will not let these people go back alive." Asahi Dongsheng also looked at the same Direction: "But now it seems——"
"Preparations here are still very necessary."
As he said these words, his eyes also fell on the figure sitting in the center of the high platform. The figure of the swordsman player who was facing the direction of the square with his eyes closed and meditating was also facing the cold wind and remained motionless. , there was also a faint sound of wind and thunder ringing around the silhouette of the body sitting cross-legged. The long sword resting between his knees trembled slightly in the agitation of wind and thunder, and the tip of the sword was pointed far away in the mid-air in the center of the square diagonally below, where one of the several floating figures was located in that airspace. Shi Zheng put down his hands that had been raised, and faced the countless principal guards and magicians of the Mages Council who surrounded his group with an innocent and helpless expression: "If our arrival scares everyone, please allow me. We apologize in advance, gentlemen."
"Who are you? Please explain your identity." The soldiers commanding the escort moved out of the way. Pamir, the Speaker of the Principality who was used to such grand scenes, still sat there without moving and just responded with an indifferent look. Addressing the intruder in the encirclement: "This is the trial venue for Prince Chris. If someone without an invitation breaks in—"
"We are indeed not invited, but we are 'relevant'
scholar. "The face shrouded in the hood cannot be distinguished. The magician who rushed here with his men answered with a sense of playfulness: "I heard that the case about Prince Chris has reached a critical moment, and it is inexplicable. The ground turned in a strange direction."
"As a representative of the Magic Empire, I can't pretend that I didn't hear it."
Slowly raising his head, the player dressed as a magician reached out and took off his hood. The face belonging to Mingyue Qingfeng then appeared in everyone's field of vision with a rebellious smile, and then It was his gesture of clasping his fists and saluting all around: "As a representative sent by the Magic Empire to participate in this trial, I have to emphasize here: Your Principality of Elnifia has invited all the major names in the Free Continent. Forces came to participate, and I even saw people from the grassland tribes from the Wind Continent among these crowds. Why didn’t we the Magic Empire be invited in the end?”
"If we want to invite the so-called Magic Empire, we first need to admit that the Magic Empire is a legitimate force that can stand on the free continent. This cannot be established in the first place." In the silent scene around everyone, it still represents Pamir, the highest authority in the principality, shook his head and replied loudly: "What's more, you are now invaders who have occupied our territory and are our enemies who are declaring war. Due to circumstances and reasons, it is impossible for us to invite you to participate in this trial. of."
"It sounds really sad." He put a hand on his chest and leaned forward. Ming Yue Qingfeng, who was floating in the sky, responded with a low smile: "Our Magic Empire has always been committed to peaceful existence, and we also hope to be able to live in an equal manner again. On this continent, the current war in the south is just our helpless resistance for survival."
"Oh? Could it be that the countless villagers who were massacred in Green Stone Village and the countless people who disappeared in Fenghua Town disappeared out of thin air on this continent?" Pamir raised his head and asked expressionlessly: "Including the crimes you committed before the restoration. Have all the evil deeds he committed, as well as the conspiracies secretly provoked in other areas of the mainland, become things that have never happened before?"
"I heard that you are holding a trial, and the trial site is the place where fairness and evidence are the most important."
Without immediately answering the other party's question, the pleasant smile on Mingyue Qingfeng's face gradually disappeared as the cold wind passed by: "Can I take those words just now as your country's accusations against our Magic Empire? What do you have? Is there any evidence that we did these things?"
"There is no need to prove these countless crimes. Everyone knows it." Pamir answered him and shook his head: "If you speak harshly on this occasion, no matter how much magic you use to arm your face, it will not deceive anyone. of clearing the heart.”
"As expected of the Speaker of the Principality, your sharp teeth and sharp mouth are sharper than anyone else." A sneer appeared on the face of Mingyue Qingfeng floating in the air: "But no matter how sharp your mouth is, you can't Telling falsehoods to be true, falsehoods to be real, it’s as if you don’t have the strength to confront our Magic Empire head-on.”
"Let us settle the matters on the battlefield on the battlefield, the people of the Principality and the Empire, as well as the residents of the Free City, and the soldiers of the Independent State - we will make you pay the due price for your arrogance. "Pamir folded his hands in front of himself, and Pamir, who was lying on his back, leaned his back on the seat: "You came to the venue this time, and you certainly didn't bring up these unrelated things just to quarrel, right? Please explain your purpose. .”
"Are you here to take the initiative to admit your crimes?" The middle-aged speaker calmly extended his hands to the left and right in greeting, drawing the attention of the participants on both sides of the circular seats to the mid-air, facing the bright moon with countless eyes. Qingfeng then stretched out his hand to stop the imminent moves of several magicians around him. He spread his hands and showed his innocent face again: "Crime? What crime? Is this what you were discussing just now?"
"Are you the culprits who used violence against Ms. Anweina and tried to pin the blame on His Royal Highness Prince Chris?" Ferriston, who was sitting in the center, asked angrily: "Fire March 7 Do you know everything that happens day and night?"
"Oh, it's the famous big one
Lu's incident. " Showing a meaningful smile, Mingyue Qingfeng flapped his black cloak and replied calmly: "Oh, of course we have heard of such a famous incident, but what exactly happened? ?Heheheheheheheh……"
"Pretend to be stupid, only laugh stupidly, and don't care about others." Whispering on the side smiled and folded his arms: "If you continue to laugh like this, we will treat it as your acquiescence."
"how can that be possible."
The innocent gesture became more obvious. Mingyue Qingfeng spread her hands and then looked around and turned around: "We are here for this matter this time. Of course we have something to say."
"Do you have something to say?" Felicton helped his eyes: "What's the defense? Do you plan to raise objections to the doubtful points raised at the trial just now?"
"No, no, no, just the opposite." She suddenly stopped showing her innocence to the surroundings, and a strange smile appeared on Ming Yue Qingfeng's face: "We surrendered ourselves."
"Regarding everything that happened on the night of March 7, I need to confess the truth, and I hope I can explain it in front of everyone in this public place."
This envoy representing the Magic Empire caused an uproar in the venue with such a speech. The principal guards who tried their best to suppress order also kept using their roars to spread to everyone in the square. In the corner, the sound of knocking on the table and the raised face of Felicity also seemed a little unnatural: "Surrender?"
"Yes, it's surrender." Nodding his head, Mingyue Qingfeng seemed to be very satisfied with the sensation caused by his words just now. Even the voice he raised again was full of pride: "I want to explain One thing: our relevant people from the Magic Empire were there that night and witnessed everything with our own eyes.”
"Oh, is it so?"
In another uniform uproar, Pamir, who was hanging his eyelids, continued to ask in a low voice: "In other words, you are not going to admit that you are the one who committed the crime, but you are the one who witnessed the crime?"
"That's what I mean." Mingyue Qingfeng, who was floating in the air, pointed out one of his fingers: "According to the information we have, the witness witnessed His Royal Highness Prince Chris breaking into the room and taking something strange. potion, and in the end - ah, that scene was really heartbreaking for those who heard it, and tears for those who heard it."
"...Is this your surrender?"
The huge square fell into silence again for a while, and was finally broken by a low question from Duan Fenglei with a sneer: "Isn't it that you want to accuse Prince Chris of being a criminal again, in an attempt to redirect the trial back to its original direction? ?」
"Of course this is surrender." Mingyue Qingfeng covered her face, and her voice was full of sorrow: "When we first heard this information, we didn't take it to heart. It's equivalent to us concealing our colleagues. The fact that we were indifferent to the crime scene allowed the truth to be obscured for so long... Oh, we really feel guilty for letting the Principality and the Imperial Investigation Team work in vain for so long."
"If this accusation is true, it may indeed determine the direction of the entire case." While the four buildings were speechless for a moment, Ferriston asked again with an expressionless face: "Please allow me to proceed in order. Question: Where was your witness at that time? What did he see?"
"My colleague was in room 513, which is opposite room 512." Mingyue Qingfeng began to talk about the surroundings of the square: "Although the door was closed and there was no movement, my colleague But for a magician from the Magic Empire, this level of obstruction cannot stop him."
"At that time, he did see something similar to a potion, which is the traces you mentioned before." Ming Yue Qingfeng, who had said this, secretly glanced at Liu Shang, who had never spoken a word since he appeared: "But My colleagues thought it was just for fun, so they didn't
I didn't take it to heart, and it wasn't until you put it on the table today that the matter was brought up again. "
"'Things to add to the fun?" As Pamir's face turned pale, Ferriston continued to ask expressionlessly: "Do you have any evidence to support this conclusion?"
"Of course."
Nodding his head, Ming Yue Qingfeng reached into his arms and took out a parchment roll under the gaze of everyone: "You should be familiar with this thing, the Speaker of the Mages Council——"
"Sir Wiggins?"
