Scene 266: A trap

 "We demand equal judgment," faced the question of the secret keeper. Virus's voice came from outside the venue, causing everyone to look in that direction. Except for Fang Plover, everyone in the Kaolin-Ithulian delegation

Everyone is there.

Xiaoyao and Mulan also waved in this direction. Fang Yu also saw Dill and Liuli, and he didn't know how the latter's game was going, he thought.

The Continental League has a long schedule. Maybe Liuli's game has ended long ago and he just has to wait for the others to return to Kaolin-Ishulian. I just don't know what his results are. Looking at the guy's usual stinky face, it's easy to guess.

Even the plover couldn't guess it.

Virus walked out of the Corin-Ithulian delegation and continued to speak to the Keeper: "Dear Keeper of the Silver Tower and Keeper of the Great Library. We are involved in this incident.

Because our contestants discovered that the selectmen of the first division were involved in persecuting civilians, this incident started in the Hart Principality, and involved Ash-Lynn's past affairs with the empire twenty years ago, and ended with Ayin Block.

, all initiated by those who came to the guild when death came to them.”

"Our contestants were just forced to stop them, and in the process they clashed with the Ayinbrok Patrol Guards. According to the Stargate regulations, it is not illegal to prevent others from violating the regulations. The Empire is also a Stargate.

We are a party to the declaration, so this reason also applies within the empire. It’s just that the Ayinbrok Patrol Guards do not agree with our statement, so this arbitration will take place.”

"Then I ask for a reciprocal verdict. If our contestants prove that what they said is true, then the Ayinbrok Patrol Guards also need to prove their innocence to explain why they acted together with the people who died in the guild that day."

"I object," before she could finish her words, a voice from the Seven Mage Family interrupted. Fang Plover looked in that direction and saw that the speaker was a member of the Clegg family and a member of the Dragon family.

The magicians all wear red robes, which also shows their identity as elementalists.

The person who spoke was an elf envoy. The high-ranking profession of an elemental envoy was similar to a title such as a great wizard. Even if the person who spoke was not the head of the Clegg family, he was probably a person with an extraordinary status in the dragon family.

"Who is that?" Tianlan asked.

"The eldest son of the Earl of Crege," Baggins replied, "I have met this man on other occasions when I traveled with the lord in the past. Although he is not the current head of the family of Crege, his status is almost the same.

This man has a dark mind and has the trust of Duke Hawke."

The others did not speak, and listened to the son of the earl give the reason for his objection. The reason was not new at all, it was still the same old statement from Hawke's side. Arresting the suspect and investigating the old incident twenty years ago was the inspection of Ayinbrock.

The job of the Guard.

They may have made misjudgments due to wrong information, but they should not be judged for this, otherwise who would dare to perform their duties loyally for His Majesty the Emperor in the future? In short, all mistakes were caused by death to the guild and had nothing to do with the empire.

After hearing this, the secret keeper cast his gaze in the direction of the people present at the Death Advent Guild. There was silence over there, and did not refute this. Fang Plover had already expected this.

Duke Hawke was colluding, so it was expected that they would take the initiative to take responsibility.

But this is enough.

The secret keeper said, "This lady."

"Virus," Virus replied, "I understand, then I will instead request a reciprocal ruling on the Death Advent Guild."

"If they don't object."

But there was still silence in the direction where Death Comes Guild.

The secret keeper waited for a moment, nodded, opened the large dark blue book with Anji's holy emblem in front of him, put one hand on the page, "I declare that the arbitration has begun."

Then he read the rules to everyone.

Those Fang Plovers are already familiar with it. After all, he has a clear mind and has expected such a day. This is also the strategy set by Virus and Bai Xue. From the intervention of the Dragon Knight, the empire and the Kaolin-Ithurians are the only ones left.

Not many possibilities.

Either both parties must make concessions together, or continue wrangling endlessly. But in order to put an end to this, apart from war, there is only one possibility left, and that is the ruling under Anji's Realm of Truth. Ling Lingna

His Majesty the Emperor sent the Knights of the Scroll to intervene in this matter.

No matter how warlike the Oshurs are, it is impossible for the empire to conflict with the Kaulin-Ithurians over such a trivial matter. Then endless wrangling seems inevitable. But Fang Plover still has a trump card in his hand, that is

It's Teneric.

As long as it mentions this matter in the Silver Helmet Holy Court, it may prompt His Majesty the Emperor to intervene. Although I don't know how Tenaric expressed it in the end, it seems that the other party is much more reliable than imagined.

Under the joint promotion of him and Friston, the emperor really had an idea——

Moreover, Duke Hawke took the initiative to bring up the matter of the Scroll Knight.

Of course Fang Yu understood why the other party would do this, but this was exactly what he wanted to see. A huge smoke bomb that had been planted since the beginning of the Hart Principality did not expect to have a miraculous effect at this time.

He used his hand to explore the gray crystal in his pocket, and the smooth surface of the crystal carving responded with a cold touch.

However, Tianlan and Papalar were obviously still confused. Luo Hao explained the details of the arbitration to them respectively——

Specifically, the secret keepers are not the judges, but the hosts of the ceremony. They represent the power of Angina, but they cannot go beyond the laws of the world and decide what is right and wrong.

Anjina values ​​knowledge, the laws and order of the world, but right and wrong, good and evil themselves are not within the scope of his concern, and neither are his followers.

Therefore, arbitration must be limited to the scope permitted by imperial laws and Stargate Statutes, which is why they must obtain the consent of the person being judged before conducting a trial. They do not actively conduct trials, but only determine the truth.

But the realm of truth is the power of God after all. Under the gaze of God, both parties subject to arbitration will make explanations and make a contract. Once it takes effect, one party must pay the price. Anjina casts his gaze on the mortal world, and this gaze is not every

One person can easily bear it.

This is why the Realm of Truth is called Judgment.

Tian Lan seemed to understand.

But the secret keeper had already put his hand on the book and made the final oath, and at that moment a strange scene appeared. A light blue light pattern appeared from mid-air, enveloped the square, and slowly lowered, resembling a ray of light.

The eyes hanging down from the clouds fell on everyone in the square.

But the moment the blue light pattern reached his body, Fang Plover felt his body sink slightly, as if there was something in his mind. The feeling was a bit strange, something that could be felt but could not be explained in words.

described state.

"The realm of honesty has arrived."

The secret keeper replied calmly.

Angina is a watcher of history, a recorder of truth, and so are its believers. Therefore, the keeper himself does not ask questions, but only sets his sights on the patrolling guards.

The young man then looked towards Fang Pliance and his group, restrained the malice in his heart, and simply asked: "What is your identity?"

Tian Lan spoke subconsciously: "Tian Lan's fantasy, a member of the Seven Seas Brigade."

Then she let out an 'ah' sound in surprise and covered her mouth.

"Ed, the leader of the Seven Seas Brigade." Fang Plover answered, and then said to Tianlan, "As long as you speak, you must speak the truth. If the other party is trying to induce you to speak, you need to be careful to restrain your thoughts of answering."

Only then did Tian Lan realize the power of Anji's Realm of Truth and nodded quickly.

Others also said their names one by one.

After the big cat man spoke, he looked to one side of the square and felt a gaze looking in this direction from there.

But in the sea of ​​people, it is difficult to detect the source of the gaze.

"My name is Etila Greenhill-Zhongxing," Miss Elf hesitated for a moment before speaking softly, "A member of the Seven Seas Brigade."

Among the crowd, one gold and one silver pair of eyes stared in this direction from a distance. Her colleagues around her were obviously surprised and wanted to step forward, but the female knight reached out to stop them, pressing her other hand on her sword.

, the long ears twitched slightly.

The crowd seemed to be aware of something unusual behind them. Several eyes looked in this direction and fell on these strangely dressed knights.

The girl looked at them, her cold gaze so piercing that no one dared to look at her.

There were a group of seven people there, all wearing long gray-green cloaks. There was no trace of their origins, but there was only a strange emblem on the collar -

Gray buds are spreading and growing under the shadow.

"It turns out that this is Sister Aitila's real name," Tianlan said curiously, "Sister Aitila's real name is so long, I have never heard of it before."

The big cat man grinned.

But Fang Yu always felt that the name sounded familiar, and he couldn't help but look in the direction of the Seven Magician Family, because the magicians over there seemed to be making some commotion.

On the side, Jita raised her head unexpectedly——

Ming Zheng stood up from his seat, even the snack in his hand no longer smelled good. He was looking at Fang Plover with wide eyes, as if he was looking at some little monster.

Virus turned around and looked at her.

Both of them saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

"...the royal family of elves," the red-robed magicians of the Clegg family were making a commotion and making surprised sounds, passing the name over and over again, "the stars...which temple is she the unicorn of?"

Beast girl?...Why is there an elf saint here?"

But the turmoil among the magicians did not spread to ordinary people.

To most people, this was just a common name, even to that young man. He didn't expect to get any useful information about the other party's identity, it was just a fixed link.

He was about to speak again, but suddenly there was a commotion in the corner of the square. A group of guild selectors wearing black and white shirts swarmed in from there. The paladins guarding that direction stepped forward to stop these people.

And asked the other party:

"Who are you?"

But the young man in the lead ignored it and shouted directly to the center of the square: "Tianlan, get out of here!"

His voice was not loud, but it immediately spread throughout the audience. As soon as Tianlan saw the young man, he immediately let out an "ah" like a mouse seeing a cat. She stopped pretending to be pretentious and hurriedly shrank her body and hid in Luo

Behind Yu, he looked frightened.

"Dragon Knight!"

Everyone in the square took a breath of air.

This time they finally recognized it. The young man who spoke was at least a Dragon Knight, and the ability he used before was the Dragon Knight Domain.

Another dragon knight.

The knights drew their swords one after another, as if facing a powerful enemy.

But Fang Yu was more shocked than these people, because he knew this person - the regicide Halsey, the Ten Nightingale Kings. He was also the vice-president of Twelve Color Iris, and the talented player Forin of Twelve Color Iris.

I am standing behind these people now.

He looked at Tianlan with some confusion. How could the Ten Nightingale Kings of the Giant Tree Hill know Tianlan?

Facing a dragon knight, the secret keeper finally spoke, "Mr. Dragon Knight, please explain your purpose."

"I'm looking for someone." Halsey said bluntly.

"If the person you are looking for is in this square, please wait until the arbitration is over." The secret keeper replied.

Halsey didn't object, she looked in the direction of Fang Plover and his group and nodded.

Fang Yu looked at Tian Lan, but the little girl's eyes moved around, pretending not to see, in short, she just didn't look at him.

At this time, the young man who had been impatient for a long time said, "Can we continue?" He was a little dissatisfied that he should be the protagonist, and was about to force Fang Pultru and his party into a corner step by step.

go.

Although he couldn't guess what Fang Pliong and his party were thinking at the moment, he secretly thought that it wouldn't be much better. As a result, so many extraneous things happened, which made him feel that something was wrong.

The secret keeper nodded to him and motioned for him to continue.

The young man then asked: "On the day of the incident, were you in Ayinbrok and had a fight with the patrolling guards?"

This is also a fixed link, and everyone answered yes.

He looked at Laila again, "Miss Laila, are you a descendant of the Lin En family and have a close relationship with the Lin En family?"

Laila's face turned pale and she nodded slightly.

"Okay," the young man said, "I have confirmed that my identity is correct. The patrol guard received a tip that day. Evidence closely related to the Ash-Lynn incident twenty years ago appeared in Miss Ayinbrock Leila.

Since she has a close relationship with the Lynn family, it is not impossible that Ash Lynn’s manuscript is in her hands.”

"Although Ash Lynn's manuscript belongs to the Lynn family," he continued in front of everyone, "it is also an important evidence of the past twenty years ago, so we invited Miss Laila to assist

The investigation should be reasonable, right?"

The secret keeper said nothing.

He is not an arbiter, but a witness.

"But Ms. Virus's request for reciprocal judgment to patrol the guards was rejected," Xiaoyao said with a pity, "The Realm of Truth is only effective for answers, but we can't take the initiative to ask questions, so we can only passively defend. Let them stand in judgment.

On the one hand, it is actually very disadvantageous for Ed and the others."

"What are you worried about," Mu Lan said angrily, "Sister Ming and Ms. Virus will naturally find a solution."

There was a lot of discussion in the square.

But Fang Plover had a good time.

The young man did not shed tears when he saw that he had not seen the coffin, and continued: "You are fighting against the Patrol Guards to comply with the Stargate regulations, but we have also obtained other information, saying that you were involved in the Ash Lynn incident.

Deeply involved. Miss Sylvide Albert Spica, your father was once a close friend of Sir Ash Lynn, and he visited the Stag Principality once twenty years ago. Am I right?

"

Sylvide was startled for a moment, then smiled slightly and nodded.

"But that doesn't mean anything!"

Tianlan finally couldn't help it any longer and stuck her head out from behind Luo Yu to protest. But she immediately felt two sets of eyes falling on her, one from Halsey and the other from Fang Plover, and she hurriedly turned her head

Short, he hid back again.

The young man didn't care about Tianlan's rhetorical question and continued: "So the conflict you had with the Death Advent Guild in the Hart Principality was not because of the Star Gate Regulations, but because you coveted Ash Lynn's manuscript and planned to intervene.

This is about it, right?"

"I object," Virus said immediately. "This is a lead question. I ask our contestants to explain the facts in detail."

The secret keeper looked at Fang Plover, who nodded.

The young man kept his mouth shut and didn't seem to object.

Only then did Fang Yu tell in detail what happened to them in the Hart Principality, how they met the old servant of the Lynn family, how they helped each other, and how they forged the Ash-Lynn manuscript.

Of course, he didn't tell anyone about the Star Device and the Gray Crystal. In the Realm of Truth, you can only speak the truth and cannot distort the facts - but that doesn't mean you need to say everything.

After he finished speaking, the blue light pattern showed no reaction.

The magicians whispered to each other - this is true. The eldest son of Count Clegge frowned and looked in the direction of the young man.

But the young man is confident, and he has reason to believe in his own judgment - the people from the Death Come Guild investigating the Ash-Lynn manuscript in the Hart Principality are certainly not groundless. It is because they spent a huge price after the Battle of the North.

Let the magicians of the prophecy faction of the Golden Goat family make accurate predictions to determine the location of the manuscript.

After Fang Yu and his party claimed to have taken the 'manuscript' away, the prophecy mages of Eisengreen once again confirmed that the manuscript had indeed been transferred from the Hart Principality to the empire.

After that, Fang Quan personally showed the gray crystal in front of him in a "furious" manner. With the multiple evidences added together, the possibility of misjudgment was almost zero.

And now is the best time for them to confirm the location of Ash-Lynn's manuscript.

The young man said lightly, "Maybe you thought so at the time, but people will change. Maybe you changed your mind after that and found a way to take away Ash Lynn's manuscript."

He spread his hands, "I have a conclusive evidence to prove this, that is, who is in the hands of Ash-Lynn's manuscript at this moment. If Miss Laila is innocent and you are innocent, then the manuscript is

It shouldn’t be on any of you—”

Fang Yu hesitated for a moment and nodded.

The young man noticed his hesitation, showed his surprise at catching the prey, and immediately asked: "So Mr. Ed, is Ash-Lynn's manuscript in your possession now?"

Fang Plover raised his head and replied:

"No."

The air was quiet for a moment.

The young man was obviously stunned for a moment, and immediately added: "All members of the Seven Seas Brigade, as well as Miss Lila, do you have Ash-Lynn's manuscript with you?"

But everyone shook their heads and gave a negative answer.

The square became quiet, and even ordinary people could see that the arbitration had reached its most critical moment. The magicians also stopped whispering and cast doubtful eyes in this direction.

The young man was obviously shaken, but he immediately calmed himself down and continued to ask: "Then let me ask, during the journey from the Hart Principality to Ayin Block, from the day of the Ayin Block incident to today, Ash

-Was Lynn's manuscript ever in the possession of any of you?"

His voice became a little sharp, "Everyone must answer!"

"I object," Virus said. "The scope of the question is too broad. This arbitration should only involve the Aiyin Block incident. Other than that, it should have nothing to do with us."

She is not worried about Fang Pliance, but she is worried about Laila. She is also from a large guild, and of course she understands that most of the actions behind these guilds are well-planned. If there is no real source of information, she will never go to war in such a big way.

The young man immediately retorted, "Ms. Virus, I am asking questions related to Sir Ash-Lynn's past events twenty years ago, and they should not be excluded."

The two looked at the secret keeper, who nodded.

The young man turned his attention to the Nanhai Brigade and his group.

But Fang Yu looked at him with some pity, and he said decisively, "Of course not."

"No." The big cat man shook his head.

"Me neither!" Tian Lan replied loudly.

Others also denied it one by one.

The air in the square was deathly silent.

The young man's face became paler and paler, and he was screaming in his heart that this was impossible. All the evidence pointed to the other party concealing the truth, but even he could not question the effectiveness of Angina's Realm of Truth - unless he wanted to be there on the spot.

Take a shot of magic.

His eyes swept over everyone one by one, and finally fell on Laila. The pale girl was still silent and looked panicked. The young man shouted as if he had grasped a life-saving straw:

"Miss Laila, what's your answer?"

"I...I..." Laila stammered, "I..."

"You must answer," the young man snapped, "whether it was in your hands!"

Laila lowered her head and answered laboriously:

"Yes, it is……"

The young man was almost exhausted, almost feeling lucky to have survived the disaster. But then hysterical madness surged into his heart, and he couldn't help but pointed in that direction and shouted to the guards, "It's confirmed, catch her!"

"

Laila took a step back in fright and almost fell to the ground.

But Sylvester stretched out a hand behind her to support her.

Fang Yu also took a step forward and stopped in front of the girl. In front of everyone, the secret keeper also stretched out his hand to stop the young man.

The square was calm, and faint blue light patterns were floating above the arbitration court. There was no reaction to Laila or the young man's words - God's ruling had not been issued.

"What's going on!?" The young man almost jumped up and down, "Why is there no ruling!? I have confirmed that Ash-Lynn's manuscript is in her possession, and everything has been settled!

"

But Fang Yu looked at him and said:

"I'm afraid you made a mistake."

"This arbitration is about whether we violated the Stargate Statute, and whether the motive of the Ayinbrok Patrol Guards' attack on Laila is really as pure as they said," Fang Yu replied word by word, "

Sir Ash-Lynn's manuscript was once in Laila's hands, so what? The manuscript originally belonged to the Linn family, and you have already determined her identity."

He paused briefly.

Then he spoke again:

"Then, according to Ms. Virus's proposal. Since Ash-Lynn's manuscript has nothing to do with us, now we have proven our innocence," Fang Yu looked at the Ayin Block Patrol Guards, especially the shocked one.

The director became pale, "Is it now the turn of death for the guild to prove itself?"

The young man's mind was in a mess. He couldn't figure out why things went completely beyond expectations. The other party had obviously shown everything owned by Ash Lynn, so how could this matter have nothing to do with them? He vaguely felt that he

Maybe you fell into the other party's trap.

But now is not the time to admit defeat. At least it is confirmed that Ash's manuscript is on the girl. He quietly wiped his sweat and continued following his somewhat chaotic thoughts, "Wait, since Ash-Lynn's manuscript is on

Miss Laila. That at least shows that the Patrol Guards' investigation of her was not without reason... Maybe it was a misunderstanding that you were involved, but the fact that Ash-Lynn's manuscript is here is enough to prove..."

Since it is no longer possible to retaliate against these Kaolin-Ithurians, then at least get Ash-Lynn's manuscript first and extract it from the patrolling guard.

This was the subconscious thought in the young man's mind at this moment, but he was only halfway through his words when he suddenly saw Fang Plover smiling at him maliciously.

Fang Yu looked at Virus on the side and saw the iceberg goddess walking up to the stage and handing a book of notes to him. Fang Yu raised the note, waved it in front of Virus, and then asked Laila beside him: "Laila

La, is this the manuscript of Sir Ash that you mentioned earlier?"

Laila was slightly startled, looked at the silver-gray cover of the note, and nodded slightly.

Fang Yu smiled warmly at her, then turned back to look at the young man, "Is this the Ash-Lynn manuscript you are talking about?"

As he spoke, he gently threw the thing forward, and dropped the notebook not far from the young man, landing on the edge of the Realm of Truth.

Laila sighed softly, looking a little heartbroken.

But the young man couldn't care about anything else at this time. He subconsciously took a step forward and picked up the note. He opened it and saw a small line of text written on the silver-gray title page:

‘My Elements and Magic, Introduction

——Another solution to the secret of the stars, Ash-Lynn, November 4, 1082.’

His eyes widened, and the more he turned his hands, the more they trembled. In the confusion of his mind, he couldn't help shouting: "What the hell is this! What I want is Ash Lynn's manuscript, which is the design of the Star Device."

…”

The moment he said the Star Device, he suddenly reacted, his mind stirred, and he subconsciously closed his mouth. He wanted to change his words, but when he looked back, he realized that he had entered the realm of truth.

The other party did it on purpose!

The young man suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
