Warlock Royal Family

The following explanation made Ladislaus understand that this Sherlock didn't want to give him any commercial convenience, but wanted Ladislaus to remain neutral in tomorrow's trial.

The businessman Antonio, who had all his horses confiscated, was one of Shylock's competitors. His business was not going well recently, and he owed a lot of money to Shylock. This time he obviously couldn't repay the debt.

According to the loan agreement, Antonio will give Shylock a catty of meat.

When things came to an end, Antonio refused to cut his flesh, and found the captured Venetian consul Gremani for arbitration, asking him to declare the loan treaty null and void.

Gremani, who is behind bars, certainly will not refuse the opportunity to show influence.

"Since both of you have agreed to Gremani's right to arbitrate, how can I intervene?"

It's not impossible to help a businessman kill his competitor, but Ladislaus doesn't want to do it too ugly, so it's not okay for such a small benefit to let himself interfere with the acting Grand Duke's plan.

"No, no, I'm not asking you to help me, I just hope you don't discriminate against me because of my beliefs, just treat me fairly."

Sherlock took off his exquisite dark cloak, revealing a small round hat on his head.

It turned out he was a Jew.

Judaism is not tolerated in the Church of Europa, nor is it a branch of the Star Moon Devil, because the ancient god of death they worship, Jergal, claims to be the original god older than Anri Cyrek.

This attitude, of course, is very unpopular with other churches.

This nation is famous for being good at business operations, but because of their beliefs, they are greatly restricted in political life. In Shylock's view, Archbishop Ladislaus of Cyric is the person who is most likely to oppose his request .

Just don't interfere, Ladislaus naturally doesn't care, after all, that Antonio didn't pay him tribute.

Since Sherlock has given benefits and only needs to be neutral, Ladislas decided not to show his face tomorrow, because he has a lot of affairs recently.

But after sending Shylock away, Machiavelli told Ladislaus another part of the message: "This Mr. Shylock is probably not just a Jew, as far as I know, he is also a knight."

Machiavelli had also been in charge of the Florentine intelligence agency with a staggering budget, and he slowly shared with his current master a piece of secrets acquired by his old employer with money.

The next day, Ladislaus still appeared at the arbitration meeting on time wearing the dark ri archbishop dress.

The arbitration meeting was held in the big tent belonging to the consul of Gremani. Although there was enough housing in the city of Milan, the deputy grand duke still held several important prisoners in the barracks.

Sherlock seemed a little surprised, because the best attitude of a secret archbishop to the Jews is to ignore them. According to common sense, if Ladislaus doesn't want to cause trouble, he should just make excuses.

Antonio was very happy to see a figure wearing a purple power ring,

He is quite handsome, but like most rich people, he looks a little bit drunk, but Ladislaus found that the muscle lines on the arm of this drunk-looking businessman are very toned.

The unexpected appearance of Ladislaus made the Gremani consul who was sitting in the middle a little unhappy at first. The little bit of authority that he looked down upon in the past now gives him a lot of pleasure and dependence, and he really doesn't want Ladislaus Si came to make trouble, but under the current situation, he did not have the confidence to offend a Habsburg.

This unhappiness quickly dissipated, and Ladislaus saluted him with the etiquette of the consul, and stated that he was only concerned about the recent disputes between the businessmen who had cooperated happily, and had no intention of intervening.

He was convinced that Ladislaus should not have come to cause trouble, and that the Deputy Grand Duke was willing to let him try the case in order to maintain his authority and sell it for a good price.

After losing face, the Gramani Consul began to speak. He first signaled to the crowd to let Sherlock stand up.

He said to Sherlock who was standing face to face: "I have read the testimony and contract of both of you, Sherlock, my friends and I all guess that you are just pretending to be fierce on purpose, but in fact you are a A reasonable businessman will definitely show compassion at the last moment. Although you insist on punishing according to the contract, you must cut off a pound of flesh from this unfortunate businessman. In fact, when you come to me, maybe you are not only willing to Abandoning this punishment, and perhaps, because of a plea of ​​conscience, a part of his arrears might be forgiven. You see the great losses which he has suffered lately, are sufficient to ruin the fortunes of any merchant, however rich, even with a heart of stone, The half-orc, who has never known sympathy, cannot fail to feel pity for his situation. Jew, we are all waiting for your magnanimous and gentle answer."

The consul's opening remarks surprised Sherlock and Ladislaus to the extreme. Although the Church of Woking has always denied it in publicity, everyone secretly said that His Majesty Woking despised conscience the most and valued contracts the most.

What the Consul said was very inconsistent with the usual principles of the Woking Church.

Generally speaking, no matter how ridiculous the conditions are, as long as the contract is written in black and white, the spokesperson of Ms. Wojin must support the contract.

They never imagined that Antonio's wife, Portia, was lying on the consul's bed last night.

Faced with such a situation, Sherlock was extremely angry. Although he didn't know the reason, years of business experience told him without a doubt that he had already lost.

In fact, his two thousand thaler bribe last night was rejected by the consul, so he knew he was in trouble this time.

This Antonio has always been cruel and mean, has no respect for the Jewish faith, and often abuses Shylock for no reason.

Sherlock never quarreled with him, just endured silently, but for the sake of faith, Sherlock could not remain indifferent, he was just waiting for the opportunity.

A few months ago, an unexpected opportunity came. His only daughter fell in love with a friend of Antonio's. This friend named Lorenzo, like Antonio, was an extremist who discriminated against Jews. The pursuit of Miss Sherlock was only for Sherlock's. Wealth only.

Sherlock originally planned to offer some money to tell him to leave, but this scoundrel has already made Miss Sherlock so desperate that he simply refuses to disappear with a few thousand tahril.

After several rounds of negotiations, Sherlock saw that this friend's greed and shamelessness could be used by him. He knew that Antonio's turnover was not working out recently, so he planned to ask this person to pretend to elope with his daughter, and then asked him to instigate Antonio to marry him. borrow money.

The contract stated that "if you can't pay back, you will cut off a pound of meat as compensation."

Antonio was really fooled. He thought he had Miss Sherlock in his hands, and made up his mind to borrow the money without paying it back. Who knew that friend and Miss Sherlock would soon disappear without a trace.

Antonio's personality is arrogant, aggressive, and aggressive, which is not what he is expected to do in business. Of course, he doesn't pay any money. He can only use dirty means to make a fortune through the horse business.

After the failure, Sherlock will come to demand a pound of meat as agreed in the contract.

Although Shylock deeply dislikes Antonio, as a qualified businessman, of course he will not force his debtors to death, which will greatly damage his reputation.

This pound of meat is just a reference to the contract, but it actually refers to a symbiotic strange life passed down from Antonio's family. The psychic tendon can greatly strengthen the user's strength, and only a large amount of food is the price. Precious benign parasitic life.

Psionic tendons are beings with thoughts and souls, and this psionic tendon is called "a pound of flesh".

This thing is more valuable to Charlotte than others. The contract says that it is a pound of meat only for the sake of confidentiality. Confidential for different writing.

However, even though the Gremani Consul knew that Antonio had a psionic tendon called a pound of flesh, he deliberately pretended to be confused so that Shylock could not get it as promised.

Facing the absurd words of the consul, Sherlock did not remain silent but justified himself: "I have already told Your Highness what I mean. You must act according to the treaty."

At this time, several of Antonio's servants who were watching began to attack Shylock's cruelty, as if he really wanted Antonio's life.

Sherlock's servant naturally fought back.

Soon Antonio began to attack Shylock's beliefs, as if believing in Cyric or Vol'jin was inherently more moral than Jews.

Although he scoffed at this statement, as the Archbishop of Anri, Ladislaus could not refute it.

It was the consul of Gremani who went on to say: "If you don't have any compassion at all, how can you expect others to show mercy to you in the future?"

Ladislaus tried his best not to let out a sneer of "hehe", he cursed in his heart: "Grandma, the consul of the Republic of Venice, the cruelest moneylender in Europe, how dare you talk about compassion?" '

Of course, Shylock knew the true face of the consul, and he continued: "I have always obeyed the law, why do I need others to show me mercy? If you refuse my legitimate request, then your laws will go to hell! The laws of Venice are like dead letters .”

The consul of Gremani was furious. He had already expressed his attitude. This short and fat businessman is still pestering him. I swallowed an unknown number of merchant ships in Venice, and a mere psychic tendon was worth only thirty to fifty thousand talers. , Master Gremani took it as he took it.

It's just that he is now in jail and must act in accordance with the law.

Fortunately, that little bastard last night was really treacherous, and he had already thought of a loophole in the contract.

'But although this Portia is treacherous, this proposal seems to be for my authority. After all, I made her so happy last night. 'If he could hear other people's voices, Ladislaus would definitely admire this woman. An old fox like the Gremani Consul actually trusts her a little bit.

"Since you ask so, I can't help it. After all, the spirit of contract is the foundation of the founding of the Republic of Venice. In this way, you go to cut the flesh."

Shylock didn't expect the Gremani consul to back down suddenly. He was hesitant to contact the acting Grand Duke Ferdinand again.

Although the Acting Grand Duke has a reputation of being impartial and selfless, he doesn't know if he will support him in this kind of thing, not to mention that if he does so, if the consul returns to Venice, his business will be difficult. Locke is not without heels, but he can't easily make the determination to offend a consul.

Now that he can do what he wants, the damage to this relationship can be repaired after all. Sherlock asked himself that he also has a background, and he is not afraid of anything.

He took out the knife and was about to cut the flesh.

At this moment, Ladislaus noticed that Antonio suddenly showed a smug smile on his face.

"One pound of meat." The Gremani consul once again called out to Shylock, who was about to strike the knife, "No more, no less, and don't let Antonio shed a drop of blood."

Seeing the stunned Sherlock, the Gremani Consul also showed a smug smile.

"Do it, Jew, what are you waiting for?" Antonio shouted.

Sherlock lowered the knife, the psychic tendon and the host were very tightly combined, to remove it, several blood vessels had to be cut, even if the most experienced hospital knight came here, it was impossible to remove it without bleeding. Download this treasure.

He sighed, "I lost."

Sherlock asked himself that he was missing a move. Although the other party was shameless, collusion between officials and businessmen has always been a way to compete in business, so he admitted defeat and was about to leave.

Antonio, however, offered his own wife to the consul for more than forgiveness of debts.

He said in the bitterest tone: "Wait a minute, Jew, leave your money and go. The law of the Republic of Venice stipulates that any heretic who intends to murder any citizen by direct or indirect , half of his property should be owned by the injured party, and the other half should be confiscated into the public treasury. The life of the offender is at the disposal of His Royal Highness the Consul, and no one else can interfere. You just happen to fall into this one now, because according to the development of facts, it is enough Proving that you did use direct and indirect means to endanger the life of the defendant, do you still dare to say that you don’t need mercy?”.

At the same time, this bad guy praised in his heart, my wife is really too smart.

'And she has made such a big sacrifice for herself, and she must repay her well when she goes back. '

When Antonio was thanking his wife for wearing a cuckold, Machiavelli, who had been staring at his arm for a long time, suddenly understood something, and leaned over to Ladislaus and said a few words in his ear.

Sherlock turned his gaze to Consul Gremani in despair.

"Look at the spirit of our Woking believers. Although you didn't speak to me, I automatically pardoned your capital crime. Half of your property went to Antonio, and the other half went to the treasury. If you can sincerely repent, you may be able to reduce it." Give you a light fine."

"Yes, yes, I sincerely regret it." Sherlock knelt down while speaking, and took a few steps on his knees to climb up in front of the Gremani consul.

The consul of Gremani showed a satisfied smile. It’s okay to bypass this short and fat man temporarily to show his kindness. It will help restore the prestige he lost due to being captured. Naturally, there are thousands of ways to avoid future troubles when he returns to Venice. .

Just when everyone was dreaming, a silky female voice suddenly sounded: "Be careful!"

How could Shylock not know that the Gremani consul had dealt with him so cruelly, even if he knew his background, he would definitely kill the root.

While kneeling on the ground, he cast a spell.

The people in the tent suddenly fell into fear and were out of their minds.

Of course, Ladislaus was not captured by the mere "fear technique".

But he had no intention of stopping it, and suddenly pulled out the soft sword on his waist and cut Sherlock open the tent.

Except for Ladislaus, a woman standing behind Antonio did not fall into inexplicable fear, she shot at Shylock with her bow and arrow.
