Civilization Guardian Front

"Anyway, listen patiently to my explanation..."

Control the volume and pitch so as not to give people the feeling of bluff; pay attention to the clear articulation and not ambiguity, so as not to be regarded as a guilty conscience.

Maintain a relatively relaxed but stable standing posture, indicating that you have no intention of running away; put your hands where the other party can see them, don't hold them in front of your chest to keep them out, and don't make unnecessary small movements.

As for the face, it is enough as long as the expression of emotion is not exaggerated.

A little tension and embarrassment, but it seems that he cares about the other party, which is not a flaw.

After doing the above points, women's suspicion will gradually drop back to a safe value.

Then, it's time to attack.

"After the explanation, whether you believe it or not, or if you want to throw the glove to a duel, I will accept it."

"......it is good."

As Chios expected...

Seeing that his attitude was sincere, it didn't look like he was lying. Although the other party had sufficient evidence in his heart to convict him, Alice finally nodded after a short silence to give her a chance to prove her innocence.

well.

As long as there is a chance, Chios is sure to turn the situation around.

He began his statement in a steady voice:

"First of all, I stayed by the bonfire in the camp square last night until almost dawn before returning to the tent. At that time, the four of them had already fallen asleep because of drunkenness, and the wine bottles and pillows scattered on the ground had not been cleaned up. If you don't If you mind, you can go in and check."

After speaking, he turned sideways to make way for the curtain.

Actively cooperating with the investigation is the first step in eliminating suspicion.

"One-sided words, there is no need to read."

Alice refuses.

"The messy scene in the tent, in addition to the situation you described, may also be the traces left by you and Asuna and the others after ... having fun. Sorry, this passage alone is not enough to explain anything. "

Even so, her clenched hands loosened slightly.

Noticing this tiny detail, Chios added without haste:

"But it cannot be ruled out that the possibility of the situation as I said exists, can it?"

"Hmm..." Alice mumbled back.

"That's good."

Chios put his right hand on his chest and said with a wry smile:

"It seems that Your Excellency Alice still has a little trust in me."

"Don't be too happy, I don't fully believe your words..." Alice scowled.

"Is there any evidence that you were outside all the time before dawn?"

"Of course, please pay close attention to my clothes."

Chios took a few steps forward so that the other party could see clearly his white shirt, black velvet trousers, belt and boots.

"What do you want to express?" Alice asked, frowning.

"What I'm wearing now is my camp party attire, which smells a little of campfire smoke and ale, and while it's easy to change, it's impossible not to make a noise."

Speaking of this, in order to prove that what he said was true, Chios unfastened the belt under his right knee and fastened it again.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"The time when I wake up is after you arrive. Assuming you have never left here during this period, based on your hearing, if I get out of bed and change clothes, I should not be able to hide it from you. However, except for the boots Noises, have you ever heard any fabric or straps rubbing?"

Alice shook her head at this.

"So obviously I fell asleep wearing this..." Chios spread his hands.

"The smell of smoke is very difficult to dissipate if it has not been exposed to the wind or washed for a long time. In my case, the smell is very weak, if not completely absent, which means that I have been outdoors for a long time. "

He turned around.

"If you still feel that I'm making too much sense after explaining it to this point, I have nothing to say."

Looking up at the blue sky, the young man let out a sigh.

Immediately, he took a step forward and slowly walked towards the periphery of the camp.

"and many more!"

Alice finally couldn't help calling him.

Humph...

The corner of the young man's mouth slightly curled up with his back to the girl.

In plan.

Chapter 880 Six? Beware of the Archbishop

"After this misunderstanding..."

On the top of the sunny slope full of vines, the young man sitting on the lawn looked back from the endless field in the distance, and turned to the female knight beside him.

"I think Your Excellency Alice should have a more accurate understanding of my personality?

"Maybe..." Alice said with reservations.

She picked up the lukewarm croissant sandwich and took a small bite.

kaz...

The freshly baked bread is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the cheese sandwiched in the middle is softened by its own heat, thus wrapping the lean beef slices with a slightly woody texture, giving it a silky and dense texture.

The combination of meat flavor and fermented frankincense sublimates the overall taste to more than one level.

~~

The deliciousness blooming in her mouth made Alice squint her eyes, revealing a look of happiness.

However, after realizing that the young man next to her was staring at her, she quickly restrained her expression.

"It's true that you didn't take action against those girls, but it's a fact that you slept on the same bed with them. It shows that there are still seeds of restlessness deep in your heart, but it's just being suppressed by a sense of morality."

"Who dares to say that his heart is completely upright and kind, without any selfish desires? It is not easy to show restraint in front of great temptations, so why bother to criticize others with sage standards, even the small shadows in his heart Is it considered a crime? In the final analysis, can a person without desires really be called a human being..."

Chios sighed.

Unlike those who are always pursuing purity and living in an overly beautified fantasy world due to lack of love experience, his thinking has always been very realistic.

He doesn't believe that there is a love that is not selfish, does not ask for anything in return, and is loyal to the end.

All actions based on human nature have their purpose behind them.

For power, for money, for fame, for safety, for ideals, for self-satisfaction...

People often overlook that selfishness does not necessarily mean seeking tangible rewards.

Compared with material gains, spiritual rewards are more difficult to quit poison.

It is precisely because of this blind spot in thinking that some characters are regarded as impartial and selfless, and they are passed down as good stories for a while.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with that.

Desire is the source of power that drives people to act and pursue progress...

That's why Chios kept pushing himself and finding ways to improve his self-worth.

If the reason for not betraying is that there are not enough chips or the cost is too high, then he must make himself better and master more power so that those around him will never be able to afford the price of betraying him.

Because the weak have demands from others, they can only live on thin ice. When they make mistakes, they must humbly beg for forgiveness, shed tears for the favor of the superior, and blame themselves for being punished.

The strong are just the opposite, even if they do something wrong, they will be forgiven.

Chios can always win in the emotional world, and even if his deeds are exposed, he still retreats every time, relying on the strength brought by this endless self-motivation.

Ability and desire are relative.

When you have endless light, you can naturally bear endless darkness.

All in all, Chios' heart is at ease.

What's wrong with opening a harem based on ability?

But he will not express this thought, but will pack it in high-sounding words:

"As for the reason for going back to bed, I have also explained that that bed is a natural resting place for me as a contestant, there is no reason to give up the so-called demeanor to others, and not driving them down is the limit of my kindness. "

Chios easily defuses Alice's moral offensive and counterattacks forcefully:

"Your Excellency Alice, please think about it carefully. Wouldn't it be a torment for me to do this? Among a group of girls with outstanding looks, I suppressed my desires and fell asleep. There is nothing wrong with it, but now I can't get yours." Don't you think it's too cruel to appreciate and be blamed instead?"

"..."

Alice was so dumbfounded that she couldn't speak.

You deserve my encouragement for sleeping with other women? ? ?

He didn't give a warning, but gave him a reward. If he really couldn't hold back next time, what should he do if something happened?

At that time, wouldn't it be my responsibility to encourage this kind of thing in disguise?

I thought so, but couldn't say it.

After all, Chios currently has no criminal record.

To admit to speaking from the bottom of your heart is tantamount to questioning the character of the other party and destroying the trust between the two parties.

"Forget it, I don't want to discuss this with you anymore."

Alice, who decided not to pursue further, concentrated on the croissant sandwich in her hand.

Chios on the side smiled unrecognizably.

Getting women to give up arguing is a victory for men.

The fact of misunderstanding will make the other party feel guilty, leading to a loss of ground in future judgments.

With a debt of favor in hand, he has the confidence to be presumptuous.

Picking up his own breakfast, Chios opened his mouth and bit down with joy.

kaz...

It is worthy of being the store he chose, and the bread they make is delicious.

"Chios, before the game starts, I want to confess something to you..."

Alice's voice came to my ears.

His tone was unusually serious.

So Chios put down the half-eaten sandwich.

"Please say."

"Not long after I met you, I reported to the archbishop—Her Majesty Guinea Nila about you, including your proposed volunteer training plan in the central square, and your swordsmanship strength...At that time, I thought that you Such a talented person should not be buried, and should be valued by the church. Of course, my thoughts have not changed now. However, His Majesty's reaction makes me a little worried."

"Worry?"

"Um."

Gently patting a few crumbs off her palms, Alice raised her face and raised her hands to cover her brows, resisting the increasingly glaring sunlight.

Watching the white clouds drifting slowly across the sky, she spoke again:

"Actually, His Majesty was also present to watch the match yesterday."

"Oh?"

Chios' eyes sharpened.

"According to what you said, I believe that Your Majesty saw the process of my fight with Sir El Dorie, or it should be said that it was His Majesty's arrangement from the very beginning to let the second person of the Knights Templar come off the bench temporarily, right? "

"Sure enough, you have already guessed it." Alice nodded slightly.

"Send the two high-level knights who signed up for the competition to the eastern border overnight, and recall the front-line fortress commander to the schedule. This kind of thing can only be done by Your Majesty. And the reason why Your Majesty did this is entirely because of you."

"The Archbishop pays special attention to a volunteer soldier who was unknown before. The key lies in your endorsement."
