"Reggie Victor, you are such a despicable person!"
Diad, who was squatting in the cage, cursed secretly: "You have a hundred ways to deal with me, but why did you send someone to attack me while I was peeing? You are so shameless!"
After scolding, he has to find a way to get out of here. Judging from the trend, Reggie is going to kill him.
After spending a night in a cage, he was brought to a middle-aged man by two jailers at dawn the next day.
Is this man Reggie Victor? He is not as young as the legend says, and he does not have the green hair as in the legend.
"Can you give me a suitable reason?" Diad was still calm, "Since you asked me to come to see you, you shouldn't kill me so unclearly."
The middle-aged man frowned and said, "Who said I would kill you? You have committed a crime, but the crime will not lead to death."
"What crime have I committed?"
"Peeing in the street."
"On the street... so what?" Diad looked at the middle-aged man with a confused look. In this era, peeing on the street is simply the most reasonable thing to do.
"Your accent sounds like a foreigner, but that's not the reason for you to break the law. You will be fined five gold coins for defecating in the street. Once you pay the fine, you can leave."
"Five gold coins for a pee, do you know what you are talking about?"
The middle-aged man was no stranger to the scene before him. This was not the first time he had dealt with a similar situation.
"All outsiders who come to Suixue City must read Suixue Laws thoroughly. This is the most basic rule. Has no one taught you?"
The middle-aged man opened a parchment, pointed to the article prohibiting public defecation on the street, and said, "We will not bully outsiders. Look carefully, I have not wronged you."
Ridiculous laws, ridiculous excuses, Diad gritted his silver teeth and said: "Emperor Suixue, I respect you very much, I didn't expect you to humiliate me in this way!"
"There may be some misunderstandings between us," the middle-aged man stood up and said, "My name is Congres, and I am the law enforcement officer of Broken Snow City. The Emperor Broken Snow you are talking about should be our lord."
"Aren't you Emperor Snow Breaker?" Diad looked Congres up and down, "I want to see Lord Victor, please take me to see him immediately!"
"Whether you can see the lord depends on your luck. If you don't pay the fine, don't even think about leaving here!"
When there is something to be said, you can put some effort into making the argument properly.
There is no need to waste your time when you have nothing to say.
If you have urine, you should pee on the street. The street is a place for peeing. In this era, this is the consensus of all mankind.
There is obviously no reason to pay five gold coins for a pee. This is pure blackmail. This is clearly Reggie Victor playing a trick on himself.
Isn't it just spending money? What's the big deal! Diad rummaged through his pockets and found only one gold coin and more than forty silver coins in total.
According to Reggie's request, Diad was only allowed to bring one servant with him on this trip. The seventy-year-old servant was still in the inn. According to Diad's guess, he could have at most two gold coins on him.
He couldn't blame his father for being stingy. Life in Partons' country was very difficult. All the gold coins in the treasury were exchanged for food on the black market. As a sold prince, Diad did not want to add more burdens to the country.
.
But if the majestic prince of a country cannot even produce five gold coins, it will definitely make the Pattons Kingdom a laughing stock. Diad took the Shattered Snow Law in Congres's hand, looked at it for a long time and said: "
You read it wrong, the fine for open defecation is three gold coins."
Kangresi was startled. He knew every clause of the Broken Snow Law thoroughly. He had already torn up the Broken Snow Law, but the fine amount on it had indeed become three gold coins.
After a moment of silence, Kangresi's expression began to become ferocious.
"You are a wizard, right?" Congres shook the parchment in his hand, "You used witchcraft to tamper with the legal provisions!"
"What nonsense," Diad sneered. "Which of your eyes saw that I used witchcraft?"
"Answer my question, are you a wizard?"
"So what? As far as I know, wizards are not considered sinners in Broken Snow Country!"
"Wizards are not guilty, and witchcraft is not guilty, but using witchcraft to interfere with law enforcement is a felony! Desecrating the laws of Shattered Snow is even more of a felony!" Congres's eyes were spitting fire, and he was irritated by Diad, "Read in
You are a foreigner, and I will give you a chance. The amount of the fine will be increased from five gold coins to nine gold coins. If you want to try again, I will directly sentence you to three years of hard labor."
Diad was sent to the cage again. He defended and protested. He revealed his identity, and also warned and threatened the law enforcement officers.
But that doesn't help, because there really isn't any sense in this place.
He spent more than twenty gold coins in the department store, most of which were on sale items with no possibility of return.
Sell the luggage, sell the carriage, or even the servants if you can't, maybe you can still collect the fine.
But at dusk, he received a desperate message. After learning that he was arrested, his slaves drove away in a carriage and took their luggage. Diad, who could not pay the fine, would face hard labor for at least half a year.
Diad squatted in the cage and never touched his lips. He even thought about ending his life. In another world, at least he would not hear the joke about the prince becoming a prisoner because of a leak of urine.
But wouldn’t the joke about the prince dying for a leak of urine sound better? Even if we can no longer hear it, this joke will be engraved on his epitaph.
After a sleepless night, Diad was about to go to hard labor the next day. He decided to bite the bullet and live. At least he would live to see Reggie Victor, pointing at his green hair, and scolding him for being shameless!
The law enforcement officers arrived as scheduled, and Diad was ready to fight to the end. But unexpectedly, Congres released him because someone paid the fine on his behalf.
Can such good things happen in the world? Who has such a kind heart? Diad cannot remember having such a loyal friend in Broken Snow City.
"This was all arranged by Reggie Victor. He asked you to let me go, right?"
No matter how Diad pressed, Kangoras refused to tell the man's name. He only gave Diad a hint: "That's a kind old man."
Kind old man? Could it be the military commander?
It must be him! The military commander knows that he is a wizard, and he is an excellent wizard. He must appreciate his talent, so he came to the rescue in times of crisis.
Diad returned to the inn and asked the innkeeper: "There is a naval commander, a very kind old man. Do you know his name?"
The shopkeeper yawned, lowered his eyelids and said, "Are you talking about Lord Doranor?"
"Do you know where he lives?"
"In the east of the city, you'd better say hello first. The military commander is not someone you can meet just because you want to."
"He and I are old friends!"
Excited, Diad turned to leave, but heard the shopkeeper shout: "Take your luggage with you, we no longer provide free food and accommodation here!"
