A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

There was a huge square, and there was a dense crowd, but it was very quiet.

The huge statue of the gods of Aaron Landis stands on the square, overlooking the beings.

At this moment, no one spoke, all eyes were gathered in one place.

In front of the square, above the high platform, the blond teenager stood in front of the crowd, and the huge lion stood beside him.

The thick brown mane was blown by the wind, and it became more powerful.

The brown lion, the legendary mount and pet of the sun **** Shamash, the holy beast of Aaron Landis.

King Camos with two male lions fighting in the battlefield is even more respected as the Lion King.

The king of all beasts on the mainland.

The majestic appearance makes people feel awe at a glance.

When the pair of coal-like eyes stare at you, no matter who it is, they will feel fear from the bottom of their hearts, and they will tremble.

This is true of the vast majority of people in the square, especially the countless people standing below, all trembling and daring to raise their heads.

The deterrent power of this male lion is too great, and the feeling of overwhelming people is like the lion king Camos standing there, which is daunting.

It is said that Prince Garland will use the holy beast to find out the real murderer of the royal knight.

But although it is a holy beast, it is also a terrible beast.

Moreover, it is said in the rumors that the killer of the royal knight is obviously Prince Heimus, why now suddenly find the murderer among them?

Or, as rumors say, is this just a way for Prince Garland to save Prince Huimus?

Many people in the palace know that the lion named Nega was raised by Prince Gallan since childhood.

So, Prince Galland actually just wanted to direct it to find a substitute for the dead among his own group?

Many people are standing underneath, thinking so frightenedly, the more they fear the more they think about it.

Especially after Prince Garland took the male lion down the high stairs and came to them, the first row of people who watched the lion walking towards him was trembling with fear.

Especially when the big lion came together and seemed to sniff on a person quite casually, the man was almost scared and then fainted with his eyes.

And the person next to the person who was almost fainted was not much better. One by one, two battles, almost collapsed to the ground.

Everyone was frightened and frightened, but the big lion Niega looked like an excited one, swaying in the crowd unceremoniously, scaring many people dizzy and weak.

It wasn't until Gallan shouted it that it turned around and returned to Gallan.

Garran raised his hand and rubbed its thick mane, and it stood still.

Standing in the dense crowd, Gallan stroked Nega near him while sweeping his eyes from the face of the person standing here.

There are too many people working in the palace, and it is impossible to really suspend the operation of the entire palace for one day, so it can only be divided into three probes.

It was the first people standing here at the moment.

The people there include subordinate nobles, ordinary officials, servants and maidservants, and the lowest servants.

"Extend your hands."

Garland said,

"While now, the sinner still has a chance to confess your crime, if you want to continue to conceal, then, [the liar will be bitten off by the emissaries of Samash]."

[Liar will be bitten off by the emissaries of Samash]

This is a well-known proverb in Aaron Landis.

There is such a story in the ancient myth of Aaron Landis.

A long, long time ago, a person came to the just sun **** with his ability to speak eloquently, schemingly, and be good at concealing his mind. He told him the bad words of his enemies, made up the unlawful crimes for the enemies, and tried to borrow Shamash. Hand punish your enemies.

So, Samash ordered this man to reach out to himself, vowing that he did not lie.

This person walks according to words.

However, the next second after the man swore, the lion under the seat of Samash bit off his wrist.

This formed this proverb.

When the Aaron Landis accuses a person of lying, he often scolds that person-you will definitely be bitten off your wrist by the emissaries of Shamash!

As soon as Garlan's words fell, the whole square exploded.

Everyone was shocked.

Is this prince following this legend?

That is a myth!

And in the story, it was found that the person who was lying was the mount of the sun **** Shamash, but it could not be done by just finding a lion—

Now here is not a holy beast familiar with humanity, but a living fierce beast beside Samath.

If it is a fierce big hair, to see who is not pleasing to the eye, go on a mouth, let alone a hand, I am afraid that a life will be gone.

Just when everyone was in a panic, Garland spoke again.

"Extend your arms."

He said, "People who do not want to do this, I will think you are suspected of being a murderer."

Prince Garland said this, even if those people were so afraid or unwilling, they had to stretch out their two hands.

Not to mention that the people standing on the square were scared to death. The people sitting on the high platform of the square looked at each other for a while.

A superior noble could not help saying: "Prince Garland is using the power of Shamash and the lion to scare the murderer?"

If the murderer is afraid that his arm will be bitten off by the lion, he may not dare to reach out.

Is Prince Garland's idea to make the murderer show his feet because of fear?

This-still very unreliable?

Although it is a little more reliable than the method of identifying a murderer with a beast, it is only a little bit.

You know, the murderer who dared to do that kind of thing is definitely already arrogant and desperate. How can he be scared by the prince in a few words?

And just as they whispered and talked on the high platform, Garland had already started to patrol below.

When the big lion approached, almost everyone shivered terribly.

Fearing that the big lion is in a bad mood, open his mouth--

Garland walked with the Nega in the crowd, looking calm, as if taking a walk with Nega.

Others stood beside the lion's huge head, occasionally rubbing Naga's thick mane and plucking a handful of hair.

After a while, Niega was a little impatient, whispered lowly, and immediately scared the nearest man down on the ground. He glanced at the man contemptuously, and opened his mouth to Garlan Ao There was a cry.

The wailing made other people feel terrified, but the blond prince, who was on the edge of the lion's teeth exposed when the big lion opened his mouth, smiled, rubbed its mane, and whispered it a few times. Stroking its head constantly to appease it.

So, after complaining, Nega was satisfied with the result of touching the head.

He grunted from his throat, raised his mighty head, and continued to wander among this group of humans it was really annoying.

This man, a lion, walked before countless outstretched arms.

Garlan's gaze passed over these arms one by one.

Time passed like this bit by bit, but the strange and tense atmosphere still enveloped the whole square.

Moreover, with the passage of time, there have been more dissatisfaction and resentment.

auzw.com That one person and one lion waggled around the square, and everyone at the beginning opened their eyes wide, afraid that something terrible would happen, but with the passage of time, what Nothing happened.

The big lion walked around the square like a walk. He didn't look at the people around him who stretched out his hands tremblingly. It didn't look like he was recognizing the murderer. Instead, he seemed to be relaxing with Garland. Play in general.

Naturally, the noble ministers sitting on the high platform were a little impatient.

"Prince Garland did this... It would be a play for the child too."

At last someone couldn't help saying it.

"Yeah, this is the last group of people? Nothing was found at all."

"Is he just playing with the lion?"

"Is there still a need for the prince to continue? How could it be possible to find out the murderer."

Others whispered something eloquently.

"After all, the murderer is not here..."

When everyone began to have objections, the chief secretary who had been watching quietly spoke.

"Let the prince continue to do it," he said calmly. "After all, if he is not allowed to do so, our prince will not give up, will he?"

He chuckled and said: "Anyway, it has reached this point, everyone should be patient and wait to finish reading."

The Director-General smiled so gently. It sounded like he was saying good things to Garland, but in fact, he was already sneering in his heart, and he was extremely satisfied with the development of the matter.

What anxiety, wait.

Waiting for this stupid scene to finally come to an end, waiting for the ‘wise prince’ to lose his reputation.

And this is also a good opportunity to make the crime of Prince Huimus in front of so many people.

It's a double benefit.

After all, Prince Gallan himself jumped into the pit, no one could stop it, did he?

This naive little prince is much better than the troublesome Prince Heimus.

And only princes in disrepair will honestly choose to depend on themselves.

The chief secretary had a calm face and a gentle smile, and he was quite happy.

Sitting steadily on the side, squinting as if dozing right Sixiang glanced at the big director with the corner of his eye.

He vaguely guessed the thoughts in the heart of the chief secretary, his lips moved slightly invisible, and disappeared immediately. He still hung his head and lowered his eyes, as if he hadn't heard anything, and allowed the people around him to discuss and not comment on the matter.

Some people, because they don’t have something, think they won’t.

Yu even firmly believes that such a thing does not exist at all.

opinionated.

So narrow.

An old man who seemed to be asleep was squinting.

I don't know what the little prince was thinking.

That day, he once said something to his fellow nephew.

Don't underestimate Prince Garland.

The old man said to the young civil servant.

I am afraid that many people in the palace believe that his reputation is backed by King Camos and is held up by others.

But you have to remember.

That [name of sage] can be held up if you want to hold it.

Since ancient times, I do not know how many kings have tried their best to give themselves a wise name, but has anyone succeeded?

People may be easily deceived and deceived in a short time, but as long as the time is long, they can see better than anyone.

Because they can see the truth.

There are always people who are too clever and think others are stupid, thinking they have seen the truth.

The stupid person is actually himself.

…………

On the other side of the platform, the head of the Sage stood silently, staring at the back of Prince Garland on the square.

He remembered what Garland showed him in the ice cellar that day.

Garland showed him the hand of the knight whose neck had been twisted, and the nails were full of dark, clotted pieces.

At that time, Prince Garland said to him.

"This is how to find the murderer."

"What do you mean?"

"When the murderer twisted his neck, he instinctively wanted to pull the murderer's arm away, so the nails left scratches on the murderer's arm."

Gallan said, "These black pieces in the cracks of his nails were made from the flesh of the murderer who was removed at that time."

"You mean, the man who killed him should have a scar on his arm that was pulled out by his nails?"

"That's it. And because of the struggle before death, the strength must be great, and the scars pulled out are definitely not light. This is only ten days, and there must be scars on the arm." Gallan nodded. "And During this time, you blocked the palace and did not let anyone leave, so the murderer should still be in the palace, as long as you find someone with a wound on your arm..."

He glanced at the knight in the box, revealing a thoughtful look.

"Actually, it's not just this. I also found a clue on his body. It should have been pulled from the murderer before he died. Following this clue, the murderer can be slowly found out."

He shook his head and said, "However, this is too slow and time is too late, so it is still the fastest way to find people with scars on his arm."

He turned to smile at Sage.

"However, head of the Sage, you protect their remains, don't move first, after all, that thing can also be used as evidence after finding the murderer."

…………

Waking up from the memories, Sage looked up and found that the atmosphere seemed a bit wrong.

The noble ministers who had been whispering to each other suddenly stopped talking and stared down.

And some noisy squares suddenly became silent at this moment, as if all sounds were still at this moment.

Sage suddenly stood and looked at the square.

I saw that the crowds that were standing close together in the square did not know when to spread out, and there was an empty space.

In the upper left corner, the person there seemed to be afraid of getting sick and generally backed away, so there was a big circle there.

In that empty circle, the blond prince, who had been walking among the crowd, stood still.

A lion with a height of one stands beside him, staring straight ahead.

In front of this man and a lion, a person was kneeling on the ground, shaking all over.

Sage's heart tightened, and his mind became hot.

Without much thought, his body had moved himself, almost rushing to Gallan's side almost instantaneously.

Bowed his head.

His pupils shrank violently.

He clearly saw the ugly scar clearly visible on the right arm of the kneeling man—
