Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 408 Innocent?Veritaserum is enough
Although Jarvan III looked kind and peaceful on weekdays, after all, he had been fought on the battlefield for the past 30 to [-] years.

Even if he didn't have a good mentor like Xin Zhao when he was young, he might not be as good as Prince Jarvan IV at the same age, but the evil spirit he had tempered on the battlefield is still the same as before.

Newman's eyes widened in astonishment, and he suddenly raised his head to look at the king. Just a look from Jarvan III made him feel horrified and almost lost his senses.

Wouldn't he know what I did? !

But it's impossible...

Nobody knew about our secret meeting except the eight of us!
Newman immediately left his seat and took two steps back to make sure the king could see him.

Immediately afterwards, he knelt down on his knees without any sloppy movements, and his head hit the smooth marble floor heavily, making a muffled sound that could be easily heard.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged!" Newman cried out in tears, as if he had been greatly wronged, "I am loyal to the Guangshield Royal Family and to Your Majesty, and I really know the gang of guys who participated in the turmoil in Xiongdu , and have nothing to do with them, you have to see clearly!"

"That……"

Jarvan III stroked his gray beard and pondered for a moment, the expression on his face almost made Newman misunderstand that his crying had played a role.

When the king said the next thing, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave: "Do you dare to use Veritaserum to make me question you?"

"This……"

Newman froze.

Of course he knew what Veritaserum was.

The Zachary family sponsored the current warden of the prison.

Although more than 20 years have passed and the warden has left their family, it is still very easy to get some information from him thanks to his kindness back then.

Veritaserum, which has never been heard of before, sounds like some kind of magic potion at first glance, and it was Li Lin who provided it.

Newman knew that this potion could affect people's spirit, and he could only think so based on the knowledge he had come into contact with.

As long as they are injected with this potion, no matter what the interrogator asks, the injected person will obediently tell the truth without any lies.

He never expected that Jarvan III would use this to demand himself.

"Your Majesty!" Newman panicked, and hurriedly raised his head to complain: "I am 53 years old now, and I have been loyal to Demacia and the Royal Family of Light Shield since the king was alive, and I have done my duty. How can you..."

"My Veritaserum uses genetic technology, which is the same as the technology I used to heal the soldiers of His Royal Highness's personal guard who were blinded by magic. I can guarantee that it will have no side effects." Li Lin assured.

The smile on Jarvan III's face was even wider, but Newman couldn't read any temperature from it.

He is serious!
"His Majesty!"

"Why are you panicking?" Jarvan III questioned, "You seem to be very afraid of being injected with Veritaserum?"

At this time, before Newman could answer, Camilla took the opportunity to interject: "Your Majesty is joking, Lord Zachary has been ill in recent years, we can't use unknown potions blended by outsiders to use on Zachary On the adults."

"Pay attention to your words, Mr. Carter, Li Lin is not an outsider."

Jarvan IV glared at Camilla. He had long disliked these corrupt politicians, so he could take this opportunity to make things difficult for him.

"Li Lin has been conferred the title of Duke by my father, but you haven't inherited your father's title. Anyway, you should honorably call him Lord Li."

Camilla's eyes quickly shifted from Jarvan IV and Li Lin, who had a calm expression, and then stayed on Jarvan III's face for a while, before thinking of the decree from the king outside the city today.

She pursed her lips and fell silent for a while, lowering her eyes to apologize: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, Mr. Li, I was negligent."

How to do this?
If Newman had been injected with Veritaserum, we would all be confessed!

Camilla forcibly suppressed the urgency in her heart, and glanced at Clementine who was diagonally opposite her from the corner of her eye.

As everyone knows, even such subtle eye movements were noticed by Li Lin, whose thinking and reaction speed were far beyond ordinary people.

It seems that both the foreign minister and the land resources management minister are quite suspicious.

Li Lin murmured in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I also don't think it's appropriate at this time." Wallis glanced at Newman who was kneeling on the ground, and interjected unbearably, "As a veteran of two generations, Newman shouldn't be treated like this."

"Now is not the time for you to mediate conflicts, Wallis." Jarvan III said in an unhappy tone.

According to his actual thinking, he wanted to give veritaserum to all the other five councilors present except Tiana.

Compared with the Crown Guard family, other families more or less have the phenomenon of using power for personal gain, favoritism and fraud in some aspects.

Jarvan III was well aware of this, but in order to maintain the stability between the nobles and the royal family that was finally achieved through the efforts of Queen Catherine during her lifetime, he had always turned a blind eye to it.

Up to now, there have been members of these big families who participated in the Xiongdu Rebellion. He didn't think that his right-hand man, the minister who was a member of parliament, would participate in it, but he just wanted to take the opportunity to beat them.

However, Newman's reaction exceeded Jarvan III's expectations.

This old fox has never reacted so much before...

Jarvan III narrowed his eyes, and tapped the three fingers of his left hand rhythmically on the round table, just like the death knell of hell struck Newman's heart, making him even more anxious.

"Your Majesty, please think again!" Wallis begged.

The king didn't want to talk to the peacemaker, and stared straight at Newman who was lying on the ground, "Do you have a ghost in your heart?"

"My loyalty to Demacia can be learned from the sun and the moon!" Newman cried loudly, "I can swear to the sisters of the flying wing protectors!"

"Then use Veritaserum."

Jarvan III beckoned, and the servant quickly delivered a small box containing a small mechanical syringe.

"Your Majesty!" Wallis was taken aback. He originally thought that the king just wanted to warn Newman, who had been so presumptuous over the years, "Are you really going to..."

Jarvan III snorted coldly, "If you have a clear conscience, so what if you inject a dose of medicine?"

Newman was already crying at this time, and even his head was bleeding.

Clement could not bear it any longer, and begged, "Please think again, Your Majesty!"

"Please think again!" Camilla continued.

Only the Chancellor of the Exchequer Borg remained silent, no matter how much Wallis greeted him, it was useless.

"It seems that I have been accommodating you for too long, and you have forgotten who is in charge of Demacia?" Jarvan III angrily yelled, scaring several councilors and ministers from speaking again.

He has already decided that even if he is stripped of the title of Mingjun today and risks offending these great nobles, he still has to inject Veritaserum into Newman!
The king's eyes were filled with coldness, "Minister Zachary, do you do it yourself, or let me help you?"

"Since His Majesty doesn't trust me, I can only maintain my innocence by dying, and I don't want to suffer such humiliation!"

While speaking, Newman suddenly pulled out a short dagger from the skirt of his shirt, which caused a burst of exclamation in the parliament hall.

According to the regulations of Demacia, except for the king, Xin Zhao and the guards on guard, no one entering the parliament hall is allowed to carry weapons, including Grand Marshal Tiana.

Unexpectedly, Newman took advantage of his position to secretly carry a dagger to participate in the parliament.

If this guy wants to murder the king...

Tiana felt a chill in her heart.

However, even though she thought so in her heart, in reality, when it was time to perform her duties, she still had to act without hesitation.

Immediately she stood up, intending to snatch Newman's dagger and subdue him.

However, Li Lin and Xin Zhao are faster.

One of them had a battle armor attached to him, one came to Newman in a blink of an eye, and directly bent the dagger made of rune steel. The right wrist of the dagger.

After a while, the guards outside the door rushed in when they heard the movement. Under the signal of Xin Zhao, they ran over quickly and detained the Minister of Law who seemed to be in despair without saying a word.

Jiawen III's face was gloomy, and he basically guessed that Newman should indeed be related to the turmoil in Xiongdu this time, and he might be the mastermind behind it.

Otherwise, it was just a Veritaserum Potion, why would he seek death and life, but refused to tell the truth?

Obviously there are ghosts in my heart, and I dare not do this because I am afraid of confessing my accomplices!
Jarvan III rested his left hand on the armrest of the throne, propped himself up and stood up, while holding the Veritaserum syringe tightly with the other hand, he walked slowly to Newman.

Tiana followed closely beside him.

"It's easy to prove your innocence, so why go to the point of committing suicide?" The king said without any emotion in his tone, and plunged the needle into Newman's neck at once, "Proving it with veritaserum is enough."
