He paused briefly, and then asked word by word: "Excuse me, your Excellency, were you in the Qinglin Mountain area on May 7, 831 in the Julian calendar?"
"Ah~!" Vera, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but take two steps back, exclaimed in a low voice, and then hid behind Lorraine, shouting urgently and quietly: "What should I do, what should I do? I'm going to be killed.
I captured them for experiments. Dragon skin, dragon blood, dragon tendons, specimens... Wow, young master, please help me..."
Lorraine turned around and saw the panic in her eyes, and then realized that she didn't seem to know about this.
He couldn't help but sigh that this girl's rabbit courage was simply the shame of the dragon clan. Then he reached out to hold her and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Believe me, as long as I'm here, no one will dare to bully you.
.”
Vera looked at him pitifully and said: "Wow, young master..."
Lorraine looked at her tearful look and couldn't help but feel moved in her heart. She wanted to tease her, but when she thought about what kind of disaster it would cause if she went on a rampage and brought her mother back, she suddenly sobered up like cold water.
.
He lowered his voice and shouted: "Shut up~! They don't know anything yet. If you accidentally tell it, then I can't guarantee it. If you don't believe it, look. They seem to have become suspicious.
.”
Vera was suddenly startled, then stood on tiptoes, looked out over his shoulder, and immediately closed her mouth tightly.
Seeing that she had become quiet, Lorraine turned around and sat down. Seeing the surprised looks from everyone, she smiled bitterly and explained: "She was also there at the time and was frightened by the scene."
Everyone suddenly understood and cast sympathetic glances at Vera. They had all been to that messy place. Not to mention the hill that was flattened by magic. It was only because of the dark magic of the necromancer that it left a lot of damage there.
The skull and bones on earth are enough to scare everyone who sees it and leave a deep impression.
A trace of joy flashed in Lester's eyes, but he remained calm and said in a deep voice: "So, your Excellency was indeed at the scene at that time?"
Lorraine nodded and said: "Yes, I was indeed there at that time. Not only me, but my butler and personal attendant were also there at the time."
Leilint hesitated for a moment and said: "Because your butler said that he and your attendant both fainted at that time. I checked and found that they had traces of black magic. So..."
He waved, and someone next to him hurriedly took out a pen, ink, and a parchment roll. He was ready to record, and then nodded to him.
Lester couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and then said earnestly: "So... Your Excellency, could you please describe the situation at that time."
"That's it, let me think about it." Lorraine tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then said flatly: "No~!"
Everyone was stunned. In surprise, the scribe also poked a hole in the parchment with the pen in his hand.
Lester said in astonishment: "Can't? Why?"
Lorraine also looked strange and said, "Why should I tell you?"
There was a mage next to him who couldn't sit still. He stepped forward and shouted aggressively: "In order to ensure the safety of the empire and the peace of the people, it is everyone's obligation to cooperate with our investigation."
Lorraine glanced at him in surprise and scolded unceremoniously: "Guarantee the safety of the empire? When that dragon appeared, where were you? For the peace of the people? When she kidnapped my people, where were you?
?”
The more he spoke, the angrier he became. He stood up suddenly, tore open his clothes, revealing the newly healed wound on his shoulder, and shouted sternly: "When the Necromancer appeared and vowed to take away my soul, where were you? When
Where were you when I was fighting with him in a bloody battle?"
When the mage saw the horrific scars on his shoulders, he stopped in shock and couldn't say a word.
When the mages heard the meaning revealed in his words, they couldn't help but look at each other in shock. They were finally convinced that the young nobleman opposite was indeed present at the scene and had experienced a near-death battle.
The hall suddenly became quiet. Even the sound of a pin dropping to the ground could be clearly heard. The atmosphere was extremely depressing.
Finally, Lester coughed twice and broke the silence in the hall. Then he said: "Your Majesty, your heroic deeds without risking your own life, everyone deeply admires you..."
Lorraine waved his hands, put on his clothes again as if nothing had happened, and said calmly: "It's nothing. As a noble, it is my obligation to protect the safety of the people. There is nothing to say. Otherwise, why would I be able to work at all?"
No need to do it, everyone will give you good food and drink?"
Lester couldn't help but was stunned when he heard him talking about the nobles like this, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that although his words were a bit blunt, they were indeed like that.
At this time, this experienced old mage had already figured out Lorraine's temper and knew that he was a docile guy, and his tough attitude could only make things worse. The bishop's assistant who was thrown out was an example.
.Therefore, he also lowered his attitude,
He sighed softly, shook his head and said with a smile: "Earl, with your knowledge, it is more than enough to teach philosophy in Maple Leaf Danlin."
Lorraine smiled faintly and said nothing. But she was very dissatisfied in her heart: Master, I have five thousand years of knowledge about the history of human civilization to teach you? I am not impatient yet~!
As soon as I left, all those bastards called beast bricks were dismissed from get out of class, and they still hated me to death.
Isn’t this what is wrong with scholars? When you are not doing anything, you have unspoken rules for two female students to cultivate your sentiments and plagiarize two papers. It doesn’t matter, but the key is that you can’t mess with it.
Their rice bowl.
At that time, Bruno was burned on the rack by a group of top students because he couldn't see clearly. Galileo and Laojia were also blinded. Why? Wasn't it because they took away other people's jobs?
of.
However, for these simple-talking mages, just listen to their compliments. There is no need to explain clearly. What's more, depending on what the old mage means, there is still a 'but' to say.
As expected, Lester changed his tone and continued: "But Lord Earl, you also need to know. This incident happened too suddenly. We didn't have time to react. It's understandable that you have complaints.
.We also deeply sympathize with you for your loss..."
Hearing this, Lorraine couldn't help but feel angry. These guys were indeed not good people. They didn't even say a word of apology, but only used a light "sympathy" instead. It was really hateful.
But on the surface, he remained calm and listened quietly to what the other person said.
Lester changed his posture and continued: "Your Majesty, Earl, you must also understand our difficulties, insufficient funds and insufficient personnel, and those guys in the temple always don't deal with us. They don't see the benefits, so they hide.
From a distance, I just shouted cheers. When I saw the benefits, I rushed over and snatched them harder than a local dog fighting for shit."
Vera didn't expect the intrigues in the human world to be so powerful. When she heard the old mage's heart-wrenching truth nearby, she couldn't help but let out a low voice in surprise, pricked up her cute little ears, and spoke without a word.
Listen carefully.
Like the old man next door, Lester continued to chatter: "In order to handle cases, we often come and go in the wind and rain. Many times, we can't even go back home to have a chance to eat a hot meal.
Not much.
Despite this difficulty, my colleagues and I are still working hard and doing our part for the peace of the empire."
He looked seriously into Lorraine's eyes and said: "Your Excellency, please be considerate of us. In order to avoid this type of emergency happening again next time, can you please describe the situation at that time? Okay.
Let us analyze it and sum up our experience so that people in other places can learn from it.”
I have to say that this old mage is quite powerful. He can present facts and reason, and his sincere words will make even a stone nod his head.
Even the faces of all the mages showed moved expressions. They all looked at Lorraine and thought in their hearts: "This time this poor and unruly little nobleman should have no complaints and tell the story in detail."
Bar?"
But they were disappointed to see Lorraine yawning and sitting there listlessly, and they couldn't help but feel very angry.
Little does he know that Lorraine has heard too many words like this and has developed immunity, and has even formed the habit of wanting to sleep when he hears it. Even if he doesn't fall asleep like this now, it's already his old man's habit.
The result of his strong mental perseverance in fighting against the Sandman.
At this time, Lorraine saw that he had finally finished speaking, and then he rubbed his face vigorously, woke up, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I want to change the bad habits I developed before, but I can't help it.
It can’t be changed. By the way, what did you just say?”
Lester found that the warm atmosphere he had worked so hard to create was all gone, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. But it was hard to blame this poor nobleman with a bad temper and a bad temper.
He twitched the corner of his mouth and said patiently: "I'm asking you, in order to avoid this happening again next time, can you tell us about the situation at that time, so that people in other places can learn from it and avoid tragedies from happening."
Lorraine sighed and said: "Mr. Master, you just said it. This year's economic downturn has made life difficult for everyone. Those hateful people have been delaying paying taxes on the pretext of poor harvests.
.
I have a large family here who wants food and clothing from me, especially the half-grown cubs, not to mention a lot of food. My castle is now in such a state of ruin, and I don’t have the money to repair it.
The tax collectors don't care about our difficulties. When the time comes, they will come to our door and ask for money. If we dare to say "no", they will steal the house and the cows and rob things. They are more ruthless than the Japanese devils. Ah, what do you mean by the Japanese devils? Then
They are a group of ferocious little carrots living in the abyss of hell. There are no more despicable animals in the world than them.
The last time I went to the dragon's lair to rescue people, I ran into huge debt to buy equipment.
I was injured in the battle, and the medical expenses were exorbitantly high, and there was nowhere to reimburse..."
These people under my command are either cheating or cheating and not doing their jobs well, and when no one is seen, they sneak away to drink, fight and bewitch.
Or, they are just clumsy people who can’t do anything well. Two days ago, they even set fire to my blacksmith shop.”
"Wow~! Master, don't scold me." Vera heard him talking about herself, her big eyes suddenly filled with mist, and said, "I didn't mean it. I just want to help. I will correct it in the future...
…”
Lorraine looked back at the pitiful girl and said coldly: "Don't worry. I won't scold you, but in terms of losses, I will add interest and deduct it from your salary."
Seeing him bullying such a pure and lovely little girl, all the mages couldn't help but look at him with contempt and cursed in their hearts: This damn miser~!
Lorraine blinked and said: "Hey, where did I just say? Oh, by the way...
Seeing that he was more eloquent than himself, Lester shuddered and hurriedly interrupted him, saying directly: "Your Excellency, we all know your difficulties, but what do you want?
