Chapter 31 Penalty
Coven regarded the many eyes on him as air.
He was also looking at the 'space bag' at this time, and an idea immediately came to his mind.
Therefore, he did not make the introduction as everyone expected, but looked at the financial officer who looked gloomy and said: "I'm sorry everyone, I think it's better to wrap up the previous matters first."
"you……"
Anduin Lothar was about to point at Corwin and say something, but his arm was suppressed by King Wrynn who raised his hand first.
King Wrynn stopped his friend, and then nodded to Coven: "Okay, young man, can you tell us about this pocket afterwards?"
"Of course." Ke Wen nodded.
King Wrynn showed a satisfied and expectant smile, lowered his head to look at the debris on the ground at his feet, and then walked back to the throne to sit down.
After sitting down, King Wrynn finally showed an expression befitting his status.
His face was expressionless, and he exuded an oppressive aura.
He stared at the financial officer and said calmly: "I remember every noble and every official in the kingdom, Nabil Munster, so, do you have anything to say?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...I..."
Nabil Munster, the treasurer, finally tasted the bitter fruit of his own doing. Facing King Wrynn, he was completely speechless.
One misstep turned into an eternal hatred. In the past, I had always been fine with being less and more greedy. Unexpectedly, I was completely stumbled by this incident...
King Wrynn saw that the other party was irrefutable, so he did not want to waste time and directly pronounced: "Nabil Munster, I will take back your identity as financial officer."
"Yes...thank you, His Majesty the King..."
Nabil Munster showed a dejected look and bowed with a wry smile.
However, after he lowered his head to avoid everyone's sight, a look of joy suddenly appeared in his eyes.
He secretly cheered in his heart. He was glad that there was no more punishment on him.
Even without a fine, it seems that the king obviously still takes care of him.
That's right, after all, he is a noble, and there is no way he can compare with those mud-legged adventurers like Ke Wen.
Thinking of this, the corners of Nabil Munster's mouth couldn't help but want to curl up, but he suppressed it with all his efforts.
But he laughed too soon.
Because King Wrynn's voice sounded again: "Soldier, put him in prison and continue the relevant investigation! I want to know how much he has embezzled in total during his years as a financial officer."
"yes!"
The two guards responded, reaching out and grabbing Nabil Munster's arms at the same time.
Nabil Munster was dumbfounded.
He looked up at King Wrynn in shock. When he was dragged back by the guards, he finally came to his senses and screamed quickly: "No - Your Majesty the King, please be merciful! I am a noble! I apply to be a noble Parliament appeal! Wait, don’t drag me! Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I am willing to donate the fine! Your Majesty! Your Majesty..."
King Wrynn felt that the other party was too noisy, frowned slightly, raised his hand and waved it away.
Seeing this, the two soldiers completely lost their strength and used force at the same time to drag the struggling Nabil Munster out of the room.
The sound of screaming and crying gradually faded away until it was no longer heard. King Wrynn sighed slightly, feeling depressed that there were such officials in the kingdom.
But he quickly thought of important things, so he adjusted his mood and said to Kewen: "How about it? Young man, does this punishment make you feel fair?"
Ke Wen nodded: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"snort……"
Anduin Lothar sneered lightly, with a malicious look on his face: "Boy, don't forget, he is not the only one responsible for this chaos. Next, is it your turn to accept it?" A fair trial?"
"Your Majesty the King."
Corwin did not talk to Anduin Lothar, but stood up from his seat, saluted King Wrynn with a slight touch of his chest, and then said: "Thank you for your justice. In this case, we will not quibble about our faults."
"Although our team did not cause any casualties in this chaos, it still constituted a bad situation that disturbed the people."
"For this, we are willing to accept punishment."
"I am willing to make several 'space bags' for your majesty as compensation for the losses the kingdom has suffered during this chaos."
"I don't know..." Kewen looked at King Wrynn with sincere eyes: "What do you think?"
Everyone was stunned, and many people's heads couldn't turn around for a while.
Because what Coven said not only changed many concepts, he also blocked the definition of this chaos.
He reminded that there were no casualties, and then changed the concept of the chaotic scene into disturbing the public.
Moreover, he had just noticed King Wrynn's emphasis on the 'space bag', so he took advantage of the situation and proposed to use the 'space bag' as compensation.
He firmly believed that King Wrynn would be tempted by the 'space bag'.
And things developed exactly as Kewen planned.
King Wrynn was very moved. Grain worm
In his mind, he instantly imagined many scenes, many scenes in which the 'space bag' provided perfect assistance to the army.
But as a politician, how could King Wrynn fail to hear Coven's sneaky ideas?
But he was completely caught again.
Angry and amused, King Wrynn looked at Corwin and hesitated several times.
In the end, he could only shake his head with a smile, put his hand on his forehead, and chuckled as if he was admitting defeat: "Okay, young man, I am convinced by you."
"hehe……"
Unable to help but chuckle, King Wrynn raised his finger and pointed at Kewen, and said helplessly: "Then I pronounce the verdict, you guys uh..."
"Corwin Quinn."
Coven smiled and said the names, and pointed to three teammates: "Garken Garan, Natalie Baghdadi, and Tager."
"good."
King Wrynn nodded: "I declare that the chaos caused by the above four people, Kewen Quinn, Galkan Garan, Natalie Baghdadi, and Tager, is excusable. I use the king's I will pardon your prison sentence, but you must use the 'space bag' as compensation to the kingdom."
"His Majesty?"
Anduin Lothar was a little dissatisfied. He felt that this sentence was a bit light. After all, Kewen's actions severely damaged the prestige of the kingdom.
King Wrynn understood what Anduin Lothar meant, but he valued the 'space bag' too much, so he could only shake his head slightly to indicate that the matter was over.
When Anduin Lothar saw this, he could only step back a little depressed...
Next, King Wrynn did not ask Corwin to give him the 'space bag' immediately, but asked Corwin questions with great interest.
He was very interested in the experiences that Ke Wen compiled. After all, even he, the king, had only heard of the existence of the 'Western Continent'.
He knew nothing about the land beyond the continent at the foot of the kingdom.
Perhaps out of curiosity, or perhaps wanting to hear more information, King Wrynn temporarily put aside other matters and continued to communicate with Kewen.
…
This exchange continued until it was almost dinner time.
Although King Wrynn was very kind, he was not so friendly to the people that he lowered his status and invited Coven and others to have dinner with him.
Therefore, although the exchange with Kewen was very pleasant, King Wrynn still controlled his emotions and announced that the exchange was over.
King Wrynn left everything after that to Anduin Lothar to handle.
With everyone's respectful farewell, King Wrynn left with his queen.
The meeting hall became silent.
Anduin Lothar stared at Corwin, who was constantly making him frustrated. He felt that Corwin was annoying, but he also had nothing to do with Corwin.
Kewen once again showed a look of disgust. He didn't even look at Anduin Lothar seriously.
So in the eyes of others, Corwin and Anduin Lothar were like two children who were at odds, acting childishly in a funny way.
Finally, Anduin Lothar's stomach made a growling sound, finally breaking the atmosphere.
Under Kowen's even more disgusted look, Anduin Lothar said somewhat depressedly: "You... follow me to the military camp, and after handing over the 'space bag', leave Stormwind City!"
Ke Wen turned around and left. As he walked outside the castle, he said, "Forget it for today. We need to find a place to stay overnight in the city first. We will talk about the space bag tomorrow."
Anduin Lothar frowned and shouted dissatisfied: "What is your attitude! Can the punishment on you be postponed?"
Ke Wen said quietly without looking back: "I am hungry and exhausted. If I make a 'space bag' now, the result will definitely be a failure, so we will talk about it tomorrow."
After speaking, Ke Wen greeted the restrained Galken trio again, and then quickened his pace to leave.
Anduin Lothar once again had nothing to do with Corwin, so he could only secretly order a soldier in annoyance: "Bring someone to me to keep an eye on them!"
"yes!"
…
On the other side, Ke Wen and the others quickly walked out of the castle, but two figures suddenly jumped out and blocked their steps.
The visitors were the two old mages, one with a bald head and long beard, the other with a bald forehead.
The person who had communicated with Ke Wen was the bald old mage.
At this time, they stopped Ke Wen and others, and then the bald old mage said impatiently: "You are finally out! Please wait!"
"Is there a problem?"
Ke Wen was stunned. Listening to the other party's tone, had he been waiting for him at the gate of the palace until now?
Faced with Ke Wen's inquiry, the old mage quickly raised his hand and pointed to a tall tower not far away: "Over there! That's our mage tower. Young man, can we invite you to sit down?"
Hearing this, Ke Wen already had a guess in his mind. It was estimated that these two old mages were interested in his magic, and their curiosity for knowledge exploded...
