Chapter 108, Confession (Part 2)

In the big snowy garden, next to the frozen fountain.

The two face each other under the white statue of Jupiter, Lord of Heaven.

The one on the left is a handsome young man with white hair and a neutral appearance. He is not as handsome as an ordinary person. His silver white hair flutters in the wind. Although his face is sad, Sid’s face is still Maintaining a state called “high self-confidence”, coupled with his handsome and handsome face, the scenery in the entire light elf garden is eclipsed by Sid’s charm, and the surrounding wind and snow seems to be surrounding him. He spins, adding more color to him.

If Sid’s current state is digitized according to the character card of Dungeons and Dragons, then his charm value must be above 25 points.

The expression of the middle-aged man on the right changed slightly, and his elegant gentleman’s face flashed with surprises, leaning on the ground cane and drawing circles on the snow-covered floor. Absolutely didn’t expect Sid to doubt himself, his eyes rolled around Sid’s face several times, seeing that he didn’t seem to be joking, he had to squeeze out a smile: “Little Brother, you must be mistaken? I How could it be a traitor?”

Sid didn’t speak, he put his hands behind his back and looked at the count quietly.

“How can you doubt me?” Seeing Sid, Meckron still didn’t believe it, he looked aggrieved: “I was the first to submit the post-war report. Cha is also my proposal. I was only a deputy during the war. It was Charlie’s decision to attack Friedland. As for the logistics, I have never seen the logistics! How can you say that I am a traitor?”

“Your Excellency Meckron, you are amazing, you are really amazing, in this big play, almost everyone is serving your plan.” Sid walked to Meckron with his hands behind his back, talking to count Passed by, then turned around: “At first, Your Highness and I both believed in your investigation results very much. We both believed that Charlie was the traitor, because your conclusion was reasonable and logically correct, and there was hardly any weak spot, Your Highness and I are as you wish, suspecting that Charlie is the one with the problem.”

“It’s not difficult to understand, because among the three parties, only you are willing to cooperate with the investigation, Charlie’s attitude is very tough, he has always been like today, taking a very fierce attitude against us, Orlando count is non-violent and non-cooperative, so we have a kind of natural trust in you, which is why Cogne Castle One line.” Sid walked behind count and turned slowly: “It was right there that I found your first weak spot.”

“Are you mistaken, Little Brother ?” Meckron Count shook his head, his expression still very aggrieved: “I advised you to investigate the Cogne Castle! They won’t let you go.”

“The situation in Cogne Castle is very bad. Strange, the battle marks left there show that if there is no betrayal by the inner ghost, the castle is impossible to fall so easily, but when I investigated the interior with His Royal Highness, I found that the whole castle was cleaned up, very clean, and any traces of it have been removed. It’s been cleaned up.” Sid paced slowly, he stretched out a finger: “The situation in the castle was completely posed for us to see after the fact.”

“That must have been someone who has already taken the castle. It’s cleaned up, you have to ask Charlie about this, don’t ask me!” Meckron count said impatiently: “How do I know what’s going on inside?”

“There, I found something wrong, obviously the bloody case of Cogne Castle has passed all around, why is there still blood in the castle? There is also the pendant of the inner ring of the Worship.” Sid took the Worship out of his arms. The pendant, he said with a smile: “If it weren’t for the fact that my friend Fogg is a member of the Guardians of the World and is proficient in everything about Phantom Worship, we would have almost been blinded by you.”

“Void Worship It is absolutely impossible to teach inner ring members to discard their own tags, because that It is a symbol of their status, and they will try to take it back by all means unless they die in battle, but if they die, this mark will definitely be in a broken state. “Sid put the pendant in front of the count: “So there is only one explanation left, that is, this mark was obtained through a special channel and was deliberately placed in the castle to mislead us moved towards Xuxiao. Thought. “

“Sure enough, after leaving, His Highness and I returned quickly and saw the group of castle guards dressed up and hurried away, leaving behind an empty castle. “Sid shook his head: “On the way back, we were attacked by the devil, nine deaths and still alive, this is also your plan. “

“What nonsense are you talking about, Little Brother.” Count Mecklen smiled, spread his hands, and said very seriously: “I don’t know what you’re talking about, but if you follow what you said, everything has to be logical, what is the logic of your call?” “

“Okay, even if it takes 10,000 steps back, I deliberately induced you to go to Cogne Castle to investigate, so why did I launch an attack after successfully inducing you?” If you guys are dead, what’s the use of all the things you set up before? “

“In order to silence. A strange smile appeared on Sid’s face: “That group of people has already completed their mission, but they know too much. If they don’t silence them, when are they going to wait?” “

“! “Meckron Count’s face suffocated, and the original thought was blocked in his throat.

“You are very sure, even if you attack Your Highness, nothing will happen, because Imperial Family impossible does not leave back. Sid continued: “That’s why you said at the banquet, ‘Fortunately you went,’ because only we went, and this act of killing three birds with one stone. “

“…” Meckron count stopped talking.

“It’s all under your control so far, you’re just a little confused, after the evidence Under such a certain circumstance, why did Her Royal Highness Imperial Princess still take no action, you were a little anxious, so you communicated with the inner responder beside Her Royal Highness, that is, Sir Yehir. Sid said with a smile: “It’s an internal response, but Sir Yesil is not your lackey. He just hits it off with you. He needs to make achievements quickly, and he needs a lot of money for his breakthrough, so come from him. From this moment on the evil wolf, he is blackmailing you. “

“Yesil got a lot of money from the three of you, and as a price, he always revealed the news about the Imperial Princess, and that’s why His Highness casually said that he liked Matei.” Tea, the reason why you immediately prepared yerba mate at home to entertain her. “

“You are two unrelated things, yes, I did pay a bribe to Ser Yehir, but it’s all too common in the Holy Empire, the envoys from the Central Dynasty, Imperial Princess of aloof and remote, I just do what I like. The attitude of Mecklun Count gradually turned cold, and he turned around coldly snorted, facing Sid face to face: “Your inference? You are called the presumption of guilt, there is no evidence, your words are just a brain supplement! “

“Then let me continue to figure it out.” Sid chuckled, his silhouette drifting past the Mecklen count like a ghostly Nether Soul: “Just when you were suspicious, two bad news came. “

The white-haired boy stretched out his first finger: “One, the arrival of the Silver Hand Elf and the Cold Iron Dwarf has made things change beyond your expectations, especially the Silver Hand. Tramp, but he is Silverhand’s current patriarch Erining – Silverhand’s parent-child no matter what, you don’t know what ability these two people can do, and maybe it will expand the surprise incident of the AIA infinitely. For you who have not been in contact with the real light elf giants, a lot of uncertainties have been added, making you start to be at a loss. “

“Second, because the attack on His Royal Highness was very bad, the other two parties smelled something wrong, among them Orlando count was planning a wedding, but Charlie had already begun to suspect you, of course, He has long suspected you, but he has never been able to make up his mind. Sid stretched out a second finger: “Only this time, he seemed to really want to confess a little bit, which makes you afraid Charlie chooses either the fish dies or the net splits.” “

“hmph ~ one-sided word, if Charlie doubted me, why didn’t he come clean earlier?” And wait until this time? “The counten Meckron’s face is completely gloomy.

“Because of the supplies from Cogne Castle, it is not that none of you three have seen it, but all three of you have seen it. Sid laughed and shook his head again and again: “After the Central Dynasty supplies arrived, the three of you each took one, and then sent the supplies to Cogne Castle. Regarding this, the three of you have already reached a tacit understanding. Whoever will not speak up. “

“…” count’s eyes flashed, and he began to examine the boy in front of him again.

“This was originally the tacit understanding of the local nobles, and the Central Dynasty’s military pay has always been seven If it arrives, 30% will disappear. You should be one person and 10%, but some things have always been like this. If you don’t get on the scale, you only weigh four ounces. Once you get on the scale, you can’t stop 10,000 pounds. Our Imperial Her Royal Highness Princess is a senseless person, and her mind is full of thoughts to investigate thoroughly. Sid walked to the fountain with his hands behind his back, brushed his fingertips across the frozen pool, and said playfully: “Whether she wants to fiercely gain influence from a political point of view, or she really sympathizes with those who died in battle.” Even the soldiers and soldiers, her attitude made Charlie not dare to confess. “

“Like he said, who wants to take the risk? Sid couldn’t stop laughing: “As for why the Orlando count didn’t confess, it’s easier, he has a backstage, he’s a pro Uncle of Gellhart, he retired at worst early, he’s really not on the front line, no matter what the penalty is, It’s also difficult to really punish him heavily, so in the whole thing, he will show a non-violent and uncooperative attitude. “

“…you’re a real insight into human nature, Little Brother.” “Mecklun Count clenched the cane, and he said slowly: “It’s just used in useless places. “

count looked around, making sure no one was there, he let out a sigh of relief: “Some people always put their IQ in the wrong direction, but I want to hear you finish, say it, Little Brother , say it. “

“The development of things is going in a direction that you can’t control, so you decide to take the risk. It just so happens that Stefan Baron has a grudge against me, and you and Xuejiao have negotiated a plan to set up a game at the wedding.” , First try to separate Whitney and Fergie, that is, go to the show, and then plan to solve the Imperial Princess at the wedding. Sid slowly nodded: “At that time, everyone was unarmed and unguarded. It’s not difficult to do it. When the time comes something happened at Stefan’s wedding banquet, and it wasn’t you who did it. The responsibility and doubt will not fall.” On your head, a plan that not one drop of water can leak out. “

“It’s just that you didn’t expect that the Inquisition was actually involved and took me away, which naturally attracted the attention of Her Royal Highness Imperial Princess. The Inquisition took me away and ruined the plan, especially It is Hu Teng that the Magistrate itself is a Legendary powerhouse, followed by a group of court members who are able to fight and fight. They were originally helpers to help you achieve your goals, but they turned out to be troubles hindering this assassination. “

Sid chattered, and the rays of light called confidence flashed on his face.

“You can’t order that Phantom killer, a good one.” The opportunity was just missed, but you probably would never have thought that the Tribunal would come to trouble me because someone reported me that I might be the person they were looking for. “Sid’s mouth twitched.

“Who? “Meckron count still couldn’t help but be curious, but his eyes became more and more gloomy.

“It’s me.” Sid pointed to his nose: “I reported myself to the Tribunal. “

“WTF? ! “Meckron widened his eyes and opened his mouth.

“You are so cruel, Mr. Sid, you are so cruel, do you know that in the hands of the trial court, the innocent will also become guilty Yes, guilty can be executed on the spot? “Meckron count was shocked by Sid’s decision, and the old gentleman shook his head again and again: “You are really a lunatic. “

“I already felt the danger at that time, but what I didn’t expect was that I escaped this assassination. That night, the whole devil Legion would attack the Ritz Palace, your madness is really is beyond my expectations. Sid lightly said: “Even with Sir Yehir as an insider, you’re insane. If I’m not wrong, there must be someone who is putting a lot of pressure on you and willing to help you, except for your own reasons.” To solve Angelo’s supreme mentor, I guess it’s virtual worship, right? “

“…”

“That night was indeed a good opportunity. First of all, after a series of events, people would be tired and let go of their vigilance. At that time, Whitney and Fergie Left behind by you, all the Inquisition’s attention is on Stefan’s death. “

“According to your assumption, after the Imperial Princess accident, the Central Dynasty will naturally send people down to investigate, when the time comes Charlie has a serious suspicion, the Inquisition is concerned about the Orlando count, and Sir Yesil is It is suspected that the culprit has escaped and worshipped the false religion. The entire scene is the words of your family. There is no way to confront or investigate. Your greatest possibility is just to be punished. “Sid sighed: “You can attribute all the responsibility to foreign forces such as the Devil Worship Cult, and everyone is willing to believe this result. As long as you believe in it, your heroic status can clear your suspicions.” “

“Am I right?” The great hero famous for the evil wolf far and near, has the title of the slayer of the cult and the enemy of the devil, but behind his back is a devil believer Joseph-Mecklun count? “

Sid is finished.

“Pa! ”

“pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa~”

Crisp applause broke out in the large empty garden, and the count of Meckron couldn’t help applauding Sid.

“Wonderful, wonderful, Mr. Sid, why don’t you serialize the novel? And you want to share your brain tonic results with me here? Count slapped his palms hard and couldn’t help but pat his palms red. He laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke: “This story is closely linked with one another, and every detail has gone through. Well polished, very wonderful. “

Meckron gave Sid a thumbs up. He looked around again and saw that there was no silhouette in the whole big garden, and then said with a smile: “So, what about the evidence?” “

“Unfortunately, your hands and feet are very clean, and I can’t find any evidence.” Sid shrugged: “And even if there is, it should have been dealt with by you during this time. ”

count Hearing Sid’s voice, he calmly arranged his coat and bow tie, and even took out a silk scarf to wipe the snow off his head. After doing all this, he He said slowly: “I graduated from Academy for 40 years, and I have experienced countless things. I have met a lot of people, and I have offended a lot of people. In the past 40 years, I have learned a lot of things. “

“The most important thing I’ve learned is that every principality, every system, every system has its own rules of the game, whether it be bright or dark, first of all you You must learn the rules of the game, otherwise you will not be eligible to participate in the game. I have seen too many excellent youngsters die before they understand the rules, because they are too believe oneself infallible! “

“After learning the rules of the game, Second Step is how to play with this set of rules, just like a ball of yarn, you must first find the thread, and you must learn how not to violate various taboos , all kinds of explicit or implicit rules, you are only qualified to be a member of the poker table, you may as well think about it, can there be no justice or stability for the current Holy Empire? ”

Reaching out to hold Sid’s shoulders, Mecklen count put his lips to Sid’s ear and whispered.

“You’re too young, inexperienced, you don’t even know how to protect yourself.”

“I gave you a chance, more than once, I wanted you to live, I even kept They all deliberately pretended not to recognize who you are, the little brat who escaped under my trial five years ago!”

“I think about you and want you to live for you! Considering this level, why can’t you understand my compassion, must you bite your life saving benefactor?!”

“Sid! Do you want to die like that???! !!”
