196 Confrontation and Transition(1/2)
"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 been revealed.
caught their imagination.
"Where are the defense plans? We were wronged! We want something!"
The girl who kept jumping back and forth while pushing back the soldiers who wanted to escort her away kept repeating: "We are just entrusted by others..."
"Dream Bamboo!"
Duan Qing, who was beside him, shouted in a low voice: "No more...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 Adventurers Association who was still standing aside: "This kind of thing... How can we know clearly?"
"Then you jumped out on your own and admitted it so generously..." The 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 majestic voice came to them as the twisting movements of several guards stopped. Tusker held a 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 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 Tasker."
Frowning his brows, Ferriston suddenly interrupted the other party: "You just... what did they steal from you?"
"The distribution of city guards in 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, the person was also looking here: "As for the other person...
…”
"I don't think it's the guy without equipment."
"Are you... that soldier's companion?" Duan Qing chuckled and said, "It was a good fight."
"Hmph, stop pretending to be stupid." The answer was Chen Yu Canyue's sneer: "Just now you provoked 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 home.
Something important was lost, 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 guards. 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? People probably don't believe this kind of common sense question..."
"Whatever, I'm a newbie who just created an account two months ago, and no one believes it."
Although the voice was loud, the unobtrusive look 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.
His own face was bruised, and the veins on Tusker's face, 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 argue, it's just what you did - don't look at the intelligence capabilities of our Sword of Justice. We have noticed that you have been active in the principality for the past few days, so we just checked a little afterwards and directly confirmed your identity.
whereabouts……"
"Sword of Justice? I didn't expect it to be you... was that warrior the same?"
"You are still challenging my patience, son... It seems that 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 situation with his voice: "Since none of you have an accurate method, then according to my suggestion... we should leave this matter to Swain to handle it, how about it?"
The silence lasted for a while, and the bearded Tasker 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 important... documents."
"...You want them to go to court?" Tasker suppressed his voice: "And then be tried?"
"Yes." Ferris 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 adventurers? What's more, they may hold important information.
intelligence……"
"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 an aristocratic posture: "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 Tower 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, they 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.
Rumbling whispers naturally sounded among them, as if they were saying goodbye to these poor fellow adventurers.
"They are going to Tower Avenue? It seems like a good opportunity..."
"What's there to be envious of? The captured imperial spies were also sent to that place..."
"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 road in 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 led into a dark room by that bearded man."
"snort!"
A cold snort sounded from near them. Duan Qing turned around and saw Chenyu Canfeng slowly approaching them. He said with a cold face: "I didn't expect that the president would be so protective."
You guys...should I call you Lord Freestone's lackey?"
"Based on what I know about Ferriston in this short period of time, if this kind of thing 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 once 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 gloomy: "
To be continued...
