Chapter 16 The well-behaved prosecutor lady
"Pfft-"
Because Luka's move was too sudden, the man in gray robe did not have time to react. The sword he was holding directly hit Luka's shoulder, and the blood spurted out and just splashed on Betty's face.
Another sudden change, even the men in black robes surrounding him were dumbfounded, wondering why Luka would commit such a self-mutilation behavior.
Only the gray-haired girl standing in front of Luka seemed to notice something and gave Luka a meaningful look.
Feeling the warm blood on her face, Betty's mind suddenly went blank. She had no idea why things turned out like this, so she subconsciously released her rage and lowered her raised palms.
"I told you to stop!" Luka endured the severe pain in his shoulder and continued to speak to Betty.
"We, we just listen to you." Betty bit her lip and reluctantly got out of the way.
However, the gray-haired girl had no intention of letting Betty go, and waved her hand again.
"Contempt the law enforcement of the Tribunal, provoke the clergy with words, arrest them!"
After that, several men in gray robes walked towards Betty with handcuffs in hand.
Betty and the others actually wanted to arrest him, and he suddenly became angry again and wanted to take action. Luka yelled at them several times before having him handcuffed with a sullen face.
Seeing this scene, Luka finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, Luka's heart just hit rock bottom. Because his hands were tied, he had no time to stop Betty, so he was actually ready to escape.
But the gray-haired girl's behavior towards Betty made Luka realize that this matter might not be what he thought.
If the other party was really ordered by Vilia to deal with them specifically, then they could have taken action directly, and there was no need to waste time following the rules.
Betty's actions of blocking the door and going berserk, threatening to dig out their hearts, can definitely be regarded as provocation and aggression.
However, the gray-haired girl did not directly order an attack. She just asked her men to draw their weapons and surround Betty. This was clearly giving her side a chance to stop.
Based on this alone, Luka could conclude that at least the gray-haired girl was not siding with Vilia, but was simply following the rules.
The following conversation also verified Luka's guess.
"I can go with you, but you must at least tell me why?" Luka begged the gray-haired girl in a low voice with a smile.
"We received a report and suspected that you were performing a ritual to summon demons in private."
The gray-haired girl said coldly, with no emotion in her tone, as if she was a machine.
really……
Hearing these words from the gray-haired girl, Luka really breathed a sigh of relief.
The key reason why the church's tribunal makes people fearful and dare not provoke them is that they have terrifying privileges. One of the most abused is that no matter who comes up with a "fairly reasonable reason" to report to them that someone is secretly conducting summons. For demonic rituals, the Inquisition can arrest people first and then investigate.
The original purpose of this privilege was to prevent cultists from summoning demons in the heart of mankind.
In the many all-out wars with the demons in the past, the demons often sent out monsters such as shape-shifters to develop cults in the hinterlands of mankind, and beguiled cultists to summon demons in the hinterlands of humans far away from the front lines.
This kind of covert and destructive "terrorist attack" once caused all the major kingdoms to suffer from it. It was time-consuming and laborious to send large armies to encircle and suppress them, and it was difficult to maintain strict control. In the end, they could only reach an agreement with the church to allow the Inquisition to Professionals are responsible for handling this matter, and they are given the privilege of arresting and then interrogating.
This method was extremely efficient in wartime and successfully prevented hundreds of demon summons, but in peacetime it frightened the princes and nobles.
If one day I accidentally offend the church, I may be arrested for this crime. As for the evidence...who doesn't know how to shoot an arrow first and then draw a target?
So after a fight, the church and the nobles finally took a step back. The Inquisition can retain the power to arrest people, but if no conclusive evidence can be found within a week after arresting people, no matter whether they are civilians or nobles. Everyone must be released.
Luka knew this very well, so he decided to follow the gray-haired girl.
Since the gray-haired girl who is the first-line prosecutor is not one of Vilia's people, it is impossible for the big shots in the Tribunal to attack him just because of a candidate saint. This trip is probably just seven days in prison.
Luka now even felt that this matter might not have been done by Vilia. With the character of that sinister woman, it was unlikely that she would do something that would disgust her at most.
After thinking about it, Irene was more suspicious. After all, her reputation as "Friend of Prostitutes" should have become famous in all the custom shops in the royal capital.
With her temperament as a young lady who couldn't bear any loss, it was normal for her to find a reason to report herself in anger.
"Sofia, no matter how they investigate next, you must actively cooperate with their search and don't do stupid things, don't do stupid things, don't do stupid things, do you understand?"
Before leaving, Luka solemnly gave Sophia instructions, and deliberately emphasized it several times.
He was very worried that this cat lady would take it upon herself to deceive the people of the Tribunal or try to save herself - that would be a really bad thing.
"Yes, Master..." Sofia wanted to say something else, but seeing Luka's eyes looking extremely serious, she kept silent.
The handcuffed Betty and Luka walked for more than an hour under the leadership of the gray-haired girl before arriving at the trial center located in the northwest corner of the royal capital.
Although at first glance it looks like an ordinary church from the outside, the atmosphere inside the trial house is extremely depressing and dull. There are heavily armed and silent church soldiers patrolling everywhere, as well as various open and secret sentries. You can see it everywhere, and it is so heavily guarded that it doesn't look like a religious place at all, but more like a military fortress.
Since Betty was charged with provoking the clergy, she was temporarily detained in a cell, while Lucca was taken into a dark interrogation room by the gray-haired girl and began to interrogate.
"Name?"
"Don't you know?"
"Name!"
"Viscount Lautherpee."
"You must answer your name truthfully, otherwise I will execute you according to the regulations."
The gray-haired girl still warned Luka in a cold tone, and seemed not to be angry at all because of his deliberately blind answer.
And her attitude once again verified Luka's guess.
This prosecutor lady is the type who plays by the rules and nothing will happen to her.
Chapter 17 Dungeon Interrogation
"Luca Bigdik."
Luka announced his full name for the first time in a long time.
"..."
The gray-haired girl who had always been indifferent frowned rarely when she heard this last name, but she quickly regained her composure and continued to ask for other information.
It wasn't until Luka asked everything except his bank card password and the size of a certain place that the gray-haired girl temporarily stopped questioning and began to record something in a notebook.
"May I ask, may I know your name?" Luka, who felt very bored, kept looking at the gray-haired girl.
He felt that since there was nothing to do anyway, he might as well try to have a romantic relationship with the prosecutor lady, what if something happened in the future?
If you could corrupt an Inquisition Inquisitor into one of your own, many things would be very convenient.
"Elfa."
The gray-haired girl unexpectedly gave Luka her name, and then continued to fill in the notebook.
During this period, someone knocked on the door and handed her some materials.
After about five or six minutes, the gray-haired girl finally put down the notebook, then looked at Luka and asked again.
"Luca Bigdik, do you admit that you have performed or prepared to perform a demon summoning ritual?"
"Of course not. I am a law-abiding citizen of the kingdom. I don't even go to custom shops. I often go to church to do volunteer work. You should be able to check my records..."
Luka began to talk endlessly about his various good deeds in the past to see if he could win an early release.
These things are not his nonsense, but in the past three years, when he was resting, he was often dragged by Vilia to work as a free coolie in the church, doing things such as distributing food or taking care of the orphans, the elderly and the young.
Of course, the power was Luka's reappearance, but the reputation fell on Veria, the "candidate saint."
"So, I have contributed to the Holy Spirit, and I have shed blood for mankind! The church is a unique existence in my heart, just like there are no two suns in the sky..."
"Okay, no need to say any more! Answer a few questions for me next. These questions are very important. If you want to go out, be honest."
The annoyed gray-haired girl interrupted Luka's speech, then stared into Luka's eyes and began to question.
"Someone reported that you received money from the demons. Our people just confirmed that you bought a big house and a bear slave in less than ten days after leaving the original team, and you just paid them back. More than 1000 gold coins of property were cleared from your house, how do you explain it?"
"Miss Elufa, I can swear to the Holy Spirit that if any of those gold coins have something to do with the demons, I will be an inch shorter." Luka spread his hands and shook his head as if he didn't care.
"I won all the gold coins from the "El Dorado" casino, a total of [-] gold coins. I even have tax stamps, which are placed on the second layer of the bedside table in the bedroom. The taxes due to the Kingdom and the Church are A lot of points.”
"Well, you can pass the test here. My people did find the tax stamp." The gray-haired girl nodded lightly after hearing this.
But when he heard this, Luka immediately became unhappy - you all know there is a tax stamp and you still ask, you want to defraud me!
"Also, you can only call me the censor here."
"Okay Miss Elfa."
"...Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you continue to call me that, I can punish you for contempt of the prosecutor."
"Okay, Miss Prosecutor..."
When he heard that he was going to be punished, Luka still chose those who understand current affairs as heroes.
"How do you explain that bear man? There is no mark of the slave contract on her body. How did you make her so loyal to you?" The gray-haired girl began to ask about Betty again.
"About this, it's mainly a coincidence. She and I saw each other, and that night she took the initiative to establish a relationship with me. We are in love, and of course there is no need for a slave contract." Faced with the question, Luka Tell the "truth" directly.
"An orc who was deceived and captured fell in love with you in one night? Who are you trying to deceive with such a clumsy lie?" The gray-haired girl continued to question.
"This kind of thing is normal, and it's different from person to person. I just belong to the type with special skills. If you don't believe it, Miss Prosecutor, you can try it yourself later...try asking her."
Considering that if Pi made the gray-haired girl across from him angry, she could actually skin him with torture, Luka forcefully suppressed the words "You can try it yourself later."
Although he likes to be scratched sometimes, it's not an itchy skin.
"...I will go." The gray-haired girl said calmly, and then asked a few more questions.
Luka answered fluently. Anyway, he really hadn't thought about summoning any demons. The succubus had thought about getting a few, but he hadn't started taking action yet. It didn't even count as an attempted crime.
"Okay, you don't have to worry too much. You can go out after a day or two." The gray-haired girl had already understood that Luka was falsely accused, so she got up and took him away.
"Well, I can always call you Miss Elufa now, right?" As soon as he left the interrogation room, Luka began to get close to the gray-haired girl with a playful smile.
"up to you."
It seems that because Luka has completely eliminated the suspicion, the tone of the gray-haired girl is much gentler than before.
"Really? Then can you tell me who reported me? I am a good and law-abiding citizen." Luka looked around and asked in a low voice after confirming that there was no one else near the corridor.
The gray-haired girl was silent for a moment and then spoke.
"...According to regulations, I cannot reveal the name of the whistleblower to you, especially when the other party is the daughter of a marquis."
"Hehe, thank you!" When Luka heard this, he was instantly sure that this was Yilin's fault.
After winning against her more than two months later, I had to take revenge severely.
The gray-haired girl escorted Luka slowly towards the underground cell. Luka tried to talk to him every chance he got on the way, but Elufa rarely responded, and it felt like an awkward chat.
But just as the two were about to enter the underground prison through a curve, a playful voice suddenly sounded.
"Oh, long time no see, little Elfa, you are still so cute today~"
Then, a pink-haired girl suddenly jumped out of the darkness, hugged Elfa's waist, and moved her hands up and down dishonestly.
In terms of clothing alone, there is not much difference between the pink-haired girl and Elfa, but she does not wear a mask on her face, and she also wears light makeup and long red eyeshadow.
Although the voice sounds innocent and pure, the expression on the face has a coquettish and twisted feeling.
Chapter 18 Your court is in chaos
Wo Zhuo, embarrassing? !
Seeing the sudden and exciting scene in front of him, Luka couldn't help but widen his eyes and read carefully.
"Uh-huh, little Elufa, you still need to rest more and eat more. You work non-stop every day. How are you going to get married after your development is so poor? Are you going to just find a pariah or even a prisoner to get married? Let’s go~”
The pink-haired prosecutor squinted his eyes with an expression of pleasure and intoxication. Even his legs were trembling and twisting, as if something had begun to flow somewhere.
"If you ask me, a cute girl like you, Elufa, might as well be my toy, so that we can stick together every day whether we are working or living, and we can play whenever we want during the day and night. …”
"Leyin, it's working time now. I'm on official duty. Let me go." Faced with the pink-haired prosecutor who suddenly hugged her, Elfa stopped with a look of disgust in her eyes.
"What's the matter~? With your personality, little Elufa, you won't really get angry. Even if you get angry, you will definitely act according to the rules and won't do anything to me~" The pink-haired prosecutor was scolded In the end, he became more and more excited as he talked, and the movements of his hands became bolder. Luka could not take his eyes off him.
"If you continue to talk nonsense about toys or continue to touch me like this, I will cut off your hands according to Article [-] of the prosecutor's right of self-defense..."
"The prisoner is still watching, do you want me to disgrace you?"
Elufa, who couldn't bear it any longer, let out a low cry, then drew out the long sword from his waist and directly chopped off Fenmao's arm around his waist. The speed and strength were so fast that there was no hint of mercy.
