Developed countries have a high degree of civilization. This sentence really makes sense. The deception of the White Tower Country is comparable to that of modern society, which makes Reggie both shocked and helpless.
The top priority now was how to escape from this scam. He took out a few silver coins from his pocket and whispered to the girl: "Look what this is, take it and leave quickly."
The girl secretly took the silver coin, turned her head, and whispered to her old mother: "Maybe my brother just fainted."
"How is it possible," the old woman cried, "my son has lost his breath."
"Perhaps we can find a place to rest and my brother will get better?" The girl glanced at her mother. Her meaning was very clear, the business had been won.
"Then, what kind of place should we find to rest?" The mother looked at the girl's hand. She wanted to know the price.
The daughter secretly stretched out four fingers, which meant that Reggie gave her four silver coins: "Mom, I want to take my brother to the inn to have a rest. He should get better."
The old mother was very satisfied with the price. She nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."
Seeing that the matter was about to calm down, Reggie let out a sigh of relief. He turned around and was about to leave, but found a man coming over on a tall horse.
His clothes are also very smart and he looks like an official.
Who is this? A liar? A cheater? Or an accomplice of this group of people?
The man got off his horse, came to the middle of the crowd, and asked, "What happened here?"
The mother and daughter, who were still crying just now, stopped crying instantly. They stared at the man blankly and did not dare to say anything.
A passerby pointed to Brooke who was lying on the ground and said to the man: "This man was killed."
"Killed?" The man stepped forward and tested Brooke's breathing. Like Modesa's reaction, the man was really surprised.
"I am the newly appointed tribune. Can anyone tell me what caused all this?"
After a while, no one responded. The man looked at the old woman and the little girl and asked, "Who are you?"
The old woman did not dare to say anything, and the little girl stammered in reply: "This is my brother, this is our mother."
"Who killed your brother?"
"Yes, yes, yes..." The little girl was frightened, and her eyes turned to Reggie.
The man turned around and looked at Reggie and said, "Did you kill this man?"
Reggie smiled bitterly, he had had enough of this farce.
"Sir, can we stop this? I originally had a very good impression of the White Tower Kingdom, but now it's all been ruined by you."
The man frowned and said, "Are you a foreigner?"
"Yes, if I were a local, I would not have encountered such an encounter. Look, first he recommended a hotel to me, then he recommended a restaurant to me, and then he wanted to take me shopping. I refused.
After killing him, he died, followed by his mother and sister, and then this group of onlookers appeared again, and then even you, the tribune, also appeared. Where is this place? Is it Shazhou City or Dazhou?
Theater? Are your plays so exciting every day?"
Reggie's tone was full of sarcasm, which made the man a little angry. He frowned and said to Reggie: "What exactly do you want to express?"
Reggie smiled and said: "I think I have made it very clear. I gave this girl four silver coins and this matter can be over!"
"You gave her silver coins?" the man asked in surprise, "Why did you do that?"
"What else can I do?" Reggie said angrily, "Isn't four silver coins enough? Do you also want a share? Tell me how much you want!"
The man looked at Reggie in astonishment and raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to bribe me, or do you want to humiliate me in public?"
Reggie sneered: "Of course it's to humiliate you, why should I bribe a liar!"
"No matter what you want to do, you have violated the laws of the White Tower Kingdom! Soldier, arrest these people immediately!"
A group of soldiers rushed up and immediately surrounded Reggie and his party. Reggie was only surrounded by Modessa, Camila and Ada, but this did not mean that they were not sure of defeating their opponents, because Modessa was carrying a musket.
, Camilla also carries deadly poison, Ada can make everyone fall asleep at any time, and as long as Reggie gives an order, they can bring down these soldiers at any time.
But Reggie didn't intend to do this because he realized that he had made a serious mistake.
This tribune does not seem to be a liar. There are no lords in the White Tower Kingdom. According to the laws of the White Tower Kingdom, in a city, the status of the tribune is second only to the adjudicator and is the second-in-command of the city. Reggie obviously
Offended someone who shouldn't be offended.
It was easy to escape, even killing the soldiers and the tribune was not a problem, but Reggie did not forget the purpose of the trip. They went through all kinds of hardships to get to Shazhou City. If the incident worsened,
Not only will they not be able to buy anything, they will also completely turn against the White Tower Kingdom.
This matter had to be explained as soon as possible, but the tribune did not give Reggie a chance to explain.
"Stretch out your hands, stretch them out immediately!" The tribune took out the shackles, "I, Diasbottom, as the tribune of Shazhou City, formally arrest you!"
The soldiers also took out the shackles one after another. The corners of Modesa's eyes had drooped. This was an expression that he was about to kill. If the soldiers took another step closer, Modeza would immediately draw his gun.
At the critical moment, Camilla shouted: "Wait a minute, what crime have we committed? Why do you arrest us!"
"You have killed someone," Diaz said sternly. "Such a serious crime is enough to send you to the gallows immediately!"
"Has anyone seen us killing someone? Do you want to convict us just by your words?"
"Everyone present is a witness!" The tribune looked at the people around him and asked, "Who just saw them killing this man?"
A skinny old man raised his hand and said, "I saw it, they grabbed this man's collar."
Another person raised his hand and said: "I saw it too, they had an argument with this man!"
The tribune looked at Camilla and said: "What else do you want to say?"
Camilla sneered: "Can you kill someone by grabbing the collar and having an argument? Ask the soldiers around you, is it really so easy to kill someone on the battlefield?"
The young tribune blushed, feeling humiliated once more.
"For the sake of you being a woman, I retain the last bit of respect for you!" Dias gritted his teeth, "Now I will put you in the dungeon. If you dare to resist, I will execute you on the spot!"
"Such a loud tone, do you think I'm really scared?" Camila pointed to Brooke lying on the ground, "This man is not dead at all! Why do you arrest us! I can make him stand up and walk immediately
!”
After saying that, Camila walked up to Brooke and punched him hard on the chest. This punch hit the diaphragm. Brooke, who could not bear the severe pain, coughed hard and immediately sat up.
.
"You see! He is a liar!" Camilla shouted, "If you can't even see such a trick, what qualifications do you have to protect the safety of civilians!"
All eyes were focused on the tribune, whose face turned completely red.
This man had obviously lost his breath, so why was he alive again now?
Is this all just a scam? Did he wrongly accuse a group of good people in public?
He turned to look at Brooke's sister and asked: "Your brother is dead, right?"
"I, I..." The girl didn't know how to answer.
The tribune said with red eyes: "Tell me, is your brother dead?"
The girl didn't dare to say anything. Things had progressed to this point, and the truth was no longer important.
The humiliated tribune just wanted to regain his face, so he turned to Camilla and said: "You are a witch, aren't you? You used witchcraft on her, aren't you?"
Camilla was startled, then shouted: "Why do you call me a witch?"
The tribune said: "There is a paladin in Shazhou City. He will definitely reveal your identity. Soldiers, arrest this witch immediately!"
The trouble is big this time. The White Tower Country is a free and tolerant country, but freedom and tolerance are only relative.
They hate all aliens, and as a tribune, Dias has the power to burn a witch to death immediately.
Reggie looked at Modesa, a bloody battle was inevitable.
