Linton could probably feel the location of the Flying Thunder God's mark. After locking the target, Linton also used it directly. After a "swish" sound, Linton appeared in a new place.
As soon as he landed, Linton was stunned for a moment. Looking left and right, he saw the dirty ground, the small room, and the iron fence outside. This place felt like a prison.
Looking to the side, Linton quickly saw Gasein. Of course, Gasein looked at Linton with a confused expression at this time: "How...how did you get in?"
"Of course it's magic, otherwise what else can we do?" Linton said.
"Is there still this kind of magic?" Garsain asked.
"Do you know magic? Are you a magician..."
"Okay, okay... stop talking, I'm not the one, I don't understand." Gasein held up his forehead.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Linton looked outside for a moment. It looked like this place was really a prison. There were many cells next to it, and there were many other prisoners, but no one noticed that there were so many other prisoners.
a person.
"You weren't the one who killed me!" Garsain shouted.
"Hey? Hey, are you talking too much? I'm not here at all, okay? This can also harm you?" Linton said.
"That pet of yours caused it," Garsain said.
"Pet? Oh... that's a deer, right?" Linton suddenly remembered that he still had a pet, "What's going on?"
Gaseon quickly explained the situation briefly. At this time, it was already about thirteen days after Linton left. Just yesterday, they arrived at the imperial capital of Saint Dravan City. Of course, after arriving, the princess and them
After being separated, the princess must return to the imperial city immediately. As for Garsain and the others, they have no plans. They should first find a place to stay and wait for the king's summons.
However, before they started looking for a place to stay, something happened. The fire-eating beast didn't know what happened. It suddenly became a little violent and started running around on the street. After all, it was at the foot of the imperial city. This throw
A brick can hit several high-ranking officials, but accidentally, it collides with a carriage. As a result, the horse is frightened and the whole carriage overturns.
I don’t know who was in the carriage. In short, the people who can drive in the city must be nobles with dignity, so of course the patrolling soldiers came over when they heard the noise. When the soldiers saw the fire-eating beast, of course they immediately rushed over.
Trying to control this troublesome monster, the result is as you can imagine. Can the fire-eating beast be caught obediently? So it fought back and became even more furious.
Gasein originally wanted to stop him, but the fire-eating beast didn't care about him at all. Not only that, he was also regarded as the mastermind who caused the chaos, and was then sent to this prison. So Gasein and the others arrived at the Imperial Capital
No one else spent his first day in prison.
"And what about the deer?" Linton asked.
"I don't know, this deer was running around everywhere, and before I could catch up, it was caught by a lot of soldiers and brought here," Gassen said.
"So I said, what's the use of this thing? Is it going to cause so much trouble if it's just lost in the forest?" Linton said.
"You didn't force this thing on me out of nowhere and didn't know where it went!" Gaseon said, "You also know that this thing doesn't listen to me at all. You have to keep your pet with it."
When Linton left, he asked the fire-eating beast to follow Garsain. After all, it couldn't be taken to other worlds. The fire-eating beast still had some IQ, so after Linton talked to it, the other party did follow Garsain.
I went there, but I didn’t know that I would suddenly run into a rage after entering the city. I don’t know if I’m not used to human cities or something.
"Have you heard the motto of our Mellow family?"
"Every time this starts...forget it, just say it." Gasein held up his forehead.
"You can't blame society for your misfortune. It's obviously your own misfortune. It's none of my business." Linton said.
"God TN is unlucky, it's obviously a man-made disaster!" Garsain said, "Forget it, now is not the time to talk about this. What should we do with the current situation? If this continues, our Mellow family may be deprived of our title."
"Why?" Linton asked.
"The king must be held accountable for causing such a big commotion in the imperial capital," Gassen said.
"Do you admit this crime?" Linton asked.
"No, no one has come here since yesterday, and no one has been interrogated. I can't help but recognize him," Gassen said.
Linton estimated that the fire-eating beast was making a lot of noise. The soldiers were probably busy catching the beast and had no time to guard the people inside.
"Then why are you so nervous since I didn't recognize you? You said you just wanted to stop the fire-eating beast, but the fire-eating beast ignored you. You were not the owner of the fire-eating beast in the first place, so you said you were just passing by and ready to do something brave.
You're just a person, you were arrested for no reason, maybe they will give you a reward for bravery." Linton said.
"Huh?" Garsain thought about it for a moment, and it seemed... it made sense. Yes, there was no evidence to prove that he was related to the fire-eating beast. Although he wanted to stop the fire-eating beast at the time, he didn't say anything.
This thing belongs to me. And after all, this thing is indeed not my pet, but Linton's.
"If you resist the strict rules and go home to celebrate the New Year, you will be beaten to death and you won't admit it." Linton said, "I don't believe they can still find evidence."
"The people who know about the Fire-Eating Beast are related to us. In addition to our own family members, there is also the third princess." Garsain thought for a while and said, "There should be no problem with our family members. After all, if the title is deprived of
If so, they will also suffer, but the third princess and the people of the Maple Leaf Guards..."
"Do you still want to say hello to the third princess?" Linton nodded, "Did the third princess send someone to ask about this matter?"
"There's no news either." Gaseon said, "The third princess just returned to the city yesterday, and I don't know if she knows about it now."
"Well..." Linton nodded, "Okay, you stay here and I'll go outside and take a look."
"You're leaving me right now?" Garsain said.
"Otherwise, what else can you do? Can I stay here with you? That means there is no hope of being released," Linton said.
There was nothing wrong with what Linton said, but Garsain was still a little panicked and said quietly: "I don't know if I can handle it."
"Carry it over?" Linton was stunned, "You mean... they will still torture you?"
"Of course." Garsain said.
From the looks of it, Garsain didn't seem to have any objections to this. It seems that using torture to extract confessions is quite common in this world. Linton didn't think it was strange when he thought about it. After all, the criminal investigation methods here are very low. What?
There is definitely no such thing as fingerprint DNA. How can we convict some cases? The only way is to use torture.
"Then if he refuses to admit death, will he be beaten to death?" Linton asked.
"It's possible," said Gaseon, "but this shouldn't happen here. Generally, people with no status can be beaten to death before being convicted. After all, I am now considered a person with a title. In this case,
Things must have an outcome."
"Then if you don't admit it even to death, will you continue to carry it?" Linton asked.
"Then if there is no way to prove innocence and you don't plead guilty, it will probably be a trial by combat in the end." Garsain said.
"Wait, trial by combat?" Linton asked.
"You don't even know this?" Gassen asked a little strangely.
"I've never heard of it," Linton said. "The kind of trial where you're not guilty if you win, and you die if you lose?"
Garsain briefly explained that this kind of trial by combat usually occurs in the trial of nobles. Of course, this case must be the kind of case that cannot be accurately convicted. For example, there is no way to engage in a combat trial where someone takes the stolen goods on the spot.
, but since there is really no way to convict, and there is no way to prove innocence, then in the end we have no choice but to apply for a martial arts contest.
As I said before, the level of criminal investigation in this world is really too low. In some cases, no one can figure out whether someone is really guilty or not, so this kind of trial method is developed, which is similar to "Leave it to God to judge."
.
"Must I go up by myself?" Linton asked.
"Of course you can hire someone to represent you," Gassen said.
"Isn't that invincible?" Linton said, "I will fight for you. Who can beat me?"
"You are too optimistic." Seeing that Linton really didn't know, Garsain said, "Trial by combat is said to be judged by God, but in fact, in most cases it is just a method of execution. You know who is on the stage.
Who are they generally?"
"Who is it?"
"They are generally titled knights." Gaseon said, "That is, the kind of high-level knights personally awarded by the king. They are at least star level and the best among them. Many powerful knights even use trial by combat as a kind of trial.
The way to become famous is that since the birth of the law of trial by combat, only 22 people have successfully used this law to obtain innocence, and in the past ten years, there has been no one. So under normal circumstances, unless you are desperate,
Otherwise no one would choose trial by combat."
"Oh...but so what?" Linton said.
"feed me……"
"Do you know what the master is going to teach me this time?" Linton asked.
"What is it?" Garsain asked.
"Master taught me the most powerful secret of our sect, the swordsmanship of Wei Mingliu, so I am invincible." Linton continued to open his five fingers and make a pose and said.
"Why is this sentence so familiar? You seemed to have said this last time too." Gasein held up his forehead.
"Then did I say something wrong? Have I lost before?" Linton said, "Anyway, you just apply for trial by combat and then just report my name. You should know that my reputation is
How about it, it would be more beneficial to us if they investigate."
