Chapter 329: Come Prepared (2 in 1~)
The gray transaction mentioned by the young nobles should refer to the transaction he and Antoine reached on the green-skinned head.
However, Xu Yichen didn't know what supported him, so he used this ridiculous reason to accuse a demon hunter who had just received the church reward.
After all, why can't I sell my head with my own ability to sell it?
Even if the Pastor Shangjin in front of him is related to the young noble, it is impossible to find any fault in this matter.
Unless, the Woking Church intends to break up with the Demon Hunter Organization.
To be fair, a religious organization with believers all over the world and can cause huge waves in the financial market. When facing a small organization with a total number of no more than 300 people, it is indeed possible to do whatever it wants.
But this world is a world with true gods after all. If the Wojin Church really wants to do this, even if the Wojin Goddess herself turns a blind eye, other forces within the church will not agree.
Those good and orderly gods really can't rub any sand in their eyes.
Xu Yichen looked at this slightly nervous but confident young man with a puzzled look.
As a well-educated nobleman, although the person in front of him was spoiled since childhood and had not experienced any setbacks, he could not be an idiot. He used this reason to interrupt a meeting involving three forces.
Unless he is really crazy and has been hit by some poisonous curse, maybe Antoine has poisoned him? After all, the mages have developed many magic tricks to control human thoughts and behaviors.
Maybe that fat man planned to use this method to solve this annoying sperm who has been following his butt and making small reports once and for all?
But in front of his aunt who served as Pastor Jin at the Woking Church, this sub-scheming was impossible to succeed, and Xu Yichen also believed that Antoine had the courage to provoke this young nobleman with a prominent family.
"Aunt, I have tangible evidence that there is an ulterior motive between this Demon Hunter Apprentice and Antoine." The young nobleman said in his aunt's puzzled eyes: "I hope that all sirs will allow me to bring my witnesses."
Sharira stared at her nephew with an eagle-like eyes for ten seconds. After the young man's forehead began to sweat, she said in a deep voice: "Since you insist on this, I will give you a chance to let your people come out and speak."
This is the Temple of Wealth, and Pastor Shangjin is the unquestionable master here. She does not need to discuss with anyone and can directly issue orders.
The reason why she hesitated for a moment was because she didn't know what her nephew was selling. This nephew of Sharira was the best among the latecomers of the Tablantan family.
He is not a fool with a brain filled with family honors, unless he is sure that doing so will be beneficial to himself or Sarira himself.
Or maybe both, Sarira looked at her confident nephew and decided to give him a chance.
"I hope you won't let me down, or I will reconsider your value, nephew." As Pastor Sarella spoke, Pastor Richard also picked up his shoulders, intending to see what the hell were doing.
As the footsteps approached, a man tied up was lifted up by the young noble servant. On this person, the demon hunter felt a familiar fluctuation of power.
The fellow Shadow Assassin Colin, the lucky one who escaped by chance the last time in the hands of the demon hunter.
"Since I arrived at Anthony Harbor, I felt that everything that happened here was a bit too coincidental." The youngest heir of the Taybrontan family sorted out his collar and began the performance: "In this city where natural disasters and man-made disasters follow, the small change of lords will hardly be noticed by anyone."
"In addition to us nobles themselves." The young nobles gradually found confidence in their words. He was very skilled in this scene: "After all, in the eyes of all adults, we are just shepherds, responsible for maintaining the order of the world, but we also have our own pride!"
"Please cut into your subject quickly, shepherd." Pastor Richard said impatiently: "As you said, we don't have much time to waste on these mundane things."
Pastor Shangjin glanced at Richard and said nothing. From the root, Sarella agreed with what he said, except when it comes to family interests.
"Sorry, I want to say that as the first nobles to reclaim colonies in the Far South Continent, the complete destruction of the Anthony family was a very important thing in the noble parliament." The young nobles bowed to Pastor Richard: "So I was given the responsibility of investigating the whole story by the parliament."
"From the existing information, the demise of the Anthony family is self-defeated, and collusion with chaos is not tolerated! As the acting city lord, Antoine was promoted to power in a critical moment, which is reasonable." The young nobleman spread his hands and said mockingly: "But I am a suspicious person, I am a noble myself, I understand our way of doing things, and we are not good people."
"I am more accustomed to inferring from the results. In this matter, I found that the biggest beneficiaries are Antoine and—" the young nobleman turned his eyes to Xu Yichen: "This respected Mr. Demon Hunter."
Hearing this, Xu Yichen frowned slightly, and the shadow assassin, who had been kneeling on the ground and had not spoken, smiled slightly at the demon hunter, as if he was sure to win.
Xu Yichen finally saw through the young noble's plan and cheered for it.
"From the outbreak of the chaos crisis, to Antoine becoming the lord of Anthony Harbor, to Mr. Demon Hunter getting territory, many stories happened." The young nobleman talked loudly: "For example, after Antoine took office, the treasure in his treasure house suddenly disappeared. According to statistics, it was almost worth 30,000 gold coins."
"What's more coincidental is that since then, the respected Mr. Demon Hunter and his companions have become generous." The young nobleman seemed to be sure of winning and asked Xu Yichen: "Have you recently purchased a sea boat in the port through Captain Emus Rockefell, along with the sailors and cargo on the sea boat?"
Xu Yichen replied to the young noble with a smile on his face: "That's right."
"That night, the paladins of the Temple of War were on duty in the City Lord's Mansion. I can testify that the burglary has nothing to do with the demon hunter." Pastor Richard briefly introduced.
In fact, he couldn't understand what this matter had to do with the Demon Hunter. Even if it was related, what would the consequences? After all, for the extraordinary, if such a thing was not caught on the spot, it would be a bad debt.
"You may not know that there are a large number of magical equipment in this wealth." The young nobleman respectfully said to Pastor Richard: "I can provide you with a complete list of equipment."
"After my informant reported, these equipment appeared in the hands of Mr. Demon Hunter and his companions, and played a huge role in the subsequent battle against Chaos." The nobleman bowed slightly to Xu Yichen and expressed his admiration: "I think these weapons and equipment are willing to play a role in more useful occasions, rather than being used as collections by a fat nobleman and placed in a secret room."
Xu Yichen could not deny this, after all, he didn't think about keeping it secret. I'm afraid that half of the city and the owner Antoine himself knew that those weapons were in his hands.
"What do you want to express?" Pastor Shangjin waved impatiently. Her patience had been almost exhausted. She had no concern about the game in the noble parliament.
"Sorry, aunt." The young nobleman said to his aunt politely. He was heroic at this moment, without any shyness at the beginning: "I now suspect that Mr. Demon Hunter and Antoine usurped the throne of the lord in the name of Chaos!"
This time, Pastor Richard changed his face, and even Pastor Sarella, frowned. She felt that her nephew was joking a little too much.
"Do you know how serious the charge you are?" Pastor Richard asked with a cold face. He personally led his people to eliminate the little Anthony who defected to Chaos. This is an indisputable fact.
"You know that the person you are accusing is the Demon Hunter!" Pastor Richard's tone became more and more severe. He could not allow anyone to pour such muddy water on the Demon Hunter.
This is an insult to all the warriors fighting Chaos!
"Pastor Richard, don't be excited." Pastor Sarella, the Shangjin, had already seen through his nephew's intentions at this time, although it was a little naive.
Under everyone's gaze, Pastor Shangjin said quietly: "After all, no one can compare to the demon hunters in his understanding of Chaos. Moreover, recently, some demon hunters who defected to Chaos..."
Although Sarella had not finished speaking, the meaning was clearly revealed.
In the past, no one could doubt the Demon Hunter, and no one could use the excuse of going too deep into chaos to examine the purity of the Demon Hunter.
However, now that the Demon Hunter has organized a traitor, its position is embarrassing. The dirty water basin of this young heir of Tybrontan really makes the Demon Hunter a little confused.
"Since you and your teacher appeared in Anthony Harbor, chaos erosion incidents around you have frequently occurred. Do you admit it?" The young nobles asked in a hurry without waiting for the people from the Temple of War, "The first chaos erosion, you obtained a piece of territory outside the city!"
"The second chaotic erosion incident occurred in the Lower City, and you got most of the constituents in the Lower City!" Although the young nobles used honorific words, the irony in their tone had been revealed: "What do you have to say about these benefits that we can see?"
Pastor Richard shut up his mouth for the previous accusations. At this time, he could not and should not come out to take sides.
Within the church, there have indeed been many distrustful voices in response to this incident of the Demon Hunter Organization. The style of the Demon Hunter Organization over the years has long aroused dissatisfaction among many forces.
But with the name of fighting Chaos' sharpest blade, no one dared to stand up and accuse the Demon Hunter organization, now the retribution has come.
"Of course, I am not accusing Mr. Demon Hunter of colluding with Chaos. I just suspect that Mr. Demon Hunter and Antoine secretly colluded in the chaos erosion incident and had an agreement in advance." The young nobleman looked like I was a good man and ticked back the topic: "Antoine's wealth worth 30,000 gold coins may be rewards."
"The most important thing is, do you admit that the weapons collected by Antoine are in your hands?" the young nobleman turned around gracefully and asked the demon hunter again.
"No, it's not in my hands." Without any hesitation, Xu Yichen replied calmly.
Sometimes, talking lies with your eyes open is also a kind of skill, such as the Demon Hunter himself.
If a paladin or priest had a magical technique to detect lies at this time, the green light that would appear would also represent the honesty. Anyway, the sword had been broken and the robe had been torn, and Xu Yichen felt from the bottom of his heart that he was telling the truth.
To some extent, he did not lie, but just changed his concept.
"You!" the young nobleman shouted in a piss, looking at his aunt with help.
Pastor Shangjin frowned and looked at the Demon Hunter. She was frightened by the Demon Hunter's calmness for a moment. If she released the magical technique of detecting lies, it would be likely to prove the other party's innocence.
"I have a witness!" The young nobleman, seeing that his aunt did not stand up, pointed to the shadow assassin on the ground anxiously and said, "This is a shadow assassin from the Shadow Organization. He can prove it. The person who appeared in the Antoine treasure house is now in the Demon Hunter Castle!"
"I am willing to prove that my sir, I have abandoned the darkness and turned to light and left the Shadow Organization!" Another former Shadow Assassin replied in time: "I have evidence to prove that the Shadow Organization members who have been active in Anthony Harbor are now living in his territory."
Before the others continued to question themselves, Xu Yichen said lazily: "The person you mentioned does not exist, I have never seen it."
"Then where did you get so much money!" The young nobleman widened his eyes and felt that he had been educated today.
"I'm from Seris, we have money, it's all your business." The Demon Hunter began to be shameless.
"Antoine's daughter also lives in your territory! She is mixed with a man named Marx, who is your housekeeper, it doesn't matter how you explain that you two!" The young nobleman threw out another piece of evidence, trying to increase his bargaining chips.
This time, even the Demon Hunter was shocked. He really didn't know about it, so he denied it without any pressure: "I haven't heard of this person, and I don't know that Antoine has a daughter."
"Are you willing to accept our investigation?" Pastor Shangjin interrupted his nephew and planned to regain control of the situation.
"I don't accept it, but you can send someone to see it, but the green skins appear around my territory. I'm worried that something will happen to your people." The Demon Hunter showed a sneer. When he was unreasonable, he planned to overturn the table.
