Chapter 2336 Imprisonment
Yeah, where's the evidence?
To handle a case and convict, the first thing to rely on is evidence. Of course, this is only a theoretical process.
If Kailan is just an ordinary citizen without any background, why bother to send her back to Dashai City from Moonlight City?
After all, she is a human being. Who knows whether it was her family that took Kailan away, or someone with malicious intentions?
But Kailan is my fiancée, and I am an elder from outside Moonlight City. I also have a group of powerful soldiers under my command, whose strength even Dasay City cannot underestimate.
In summary, the above conditions made it difficult for the envoy of Dashai City to do things, or hit obstacles everywhere. Anyway, from beginning to end, he never got through smoothly. There were also times when he went smoothly, and he gave money to Sosia, the proprietress of the Moonlight Tavern. At that time, it was quite smooth.
Faced with my question, the messenger still couldn't answer directly. He could only talk about him and try to change the topic in a direction that was beneficial to him.
But why!
Why should I listen to you chatting there, threatening me that if I don't hand over Kailan, it will cause a dispute between the two countries, and then gently comforting me, even if Kailan is handed over to them, there will be no problems. , just go through a process to confirm whether she has spied on the confidential content. If she really hasn't, then send her back completely.
Do you think I'm a three-year-old?
Just give me a stick and a sweet date, and you'll be able to do what you want?
With a sneer, I turned around and left.
When the envoy saw this, he immediately became unhappy and sent someone to stop me. At the same time, he said seriously: "Elder An Xiaoyi, you insisted on leaving without waiting for me to finish speaking. This is rude to me as an envoy. Can I Do you think your attitude towards Dashai City is the same?"
"It's up to you," I said calmly, "but at the same time, I hope you will get out of the way and don't block my way. Otherwise, I will punish you for murdering an elder in the street."
As I said that, I glanced at the faces of several adventurers, and finally settled on the envoy's face, and said calmly: "Oh, I forgot to tell you that according to Moonlight City's criminal law, anyone who assaults an elder in the street will be punished by death."
The faces of the several adventurers froze, and they subconsciously moved aside to make way for a path.
I nodded cheerfully and walked home, shaking the pocket watch chain in my hand.
At this time, the messenger's voice came from behind again: "Elder An Xiaoyi, you are protecting the criminals of Dasai City, aren't you afraid of affecting your property in Dasai City?"
Hearing this, I stopped.
The messenger continued: "Assisting criminals is also a serious crime in Dashai City."
I smiled, very easily, turned around, looked at the emissary with a proud look, and said lightly: "I have no intention of taking back my property in Dashai City. Anyway, it is in your three-acre land. , If you want to confiscate it, then confiscate it."
Seeing that the messenger was about to speak again, I said first: "I know you have other intentions with this statement. You are using industry as a metaphor for family. Yes, I do have family members living in Dashai City, but they are all under the protection of the high priest. , touching them is no different from touching the high priest. I think in your hearts, I don’t need to explain how noble the high priest is to the people."
"The High Priest is naturally extremely noble, but he is also extremely fair and will definitely not protect the families of the guilty."
I snorted coldly and said with a sneer: "Yes, I also know that it is impossible to suppress the desires of some powerful ministers with the identity of the high priest, but do you think about it, powerful ministers, why do you want more power? , why do you want to control a larger military force? I think, as an envoy, you must also know very well, yes, the only way to do it is to satisfy your selfish desires, strengthen your family, be respected by thousands of people, and even establish a new dynasty."
"Don't talk nonsense!" The messenger looked stern and said sternly.
I waved my hands, my expression remained the same, and said: "Calm down, calm down, okay, even if I talk nonsense, you can't refute the matter of satisfying your selfish desires and strengthening your family, right?"
Seeing the envoy staring at me silently, I continued: "But to build a strong family, there must be a prerequisite, it must be a family, don't you think so?"
The messenger was suddenly startled and blurted out: "An Xiaoyi! You are a threat!"
"Hahaha" my shoulders kept shaking and bursts of laughter came out: "Hahahaha, a threat? Do you really think this is a threat? Do you know the expulsioner? It's the metal puppet you mentioned that can defeat the power of the country. I'll be honest with you. Say, I have thousands of puppets like this, do you understand what I mean?"
The messenger obviously knew that I had deporters, and there were quite a lot of them, but he didn't take it seriously. He calmed down and said, "Even if you have a thousand deporters, you still can't defeat the vast army of Dasai City." .”
"Look, I think you're smart, so you're talking stupidly, aren't you?" I shook my head and said helplessly: "Don't you understand? Since I can have these one thousand expulsors, I can also have ten thousand, ten Ten thousand, or even one million. Even if the population of Dasai City exceeds 10 billion, can everyone still be an adventurer and everyone is a national force? Besides, if they are all drawn together, Dasai City is not that There is a large population, but as for me, it is really possible that there will be one million, or even more than one million Destroyer friendly troops, so my words are not a threat, but a warning, don't touch my people unless, You are prepared to pay a heavy price."
After that, I continued walking home, swinging my pocket watch chain.
Sometimes, a threat is far more effective than a hundred words of defense.
After an 'accidental encounter' with me on the street corner, the messenger from Dashai City finally gave up and took the magic airship the next day and flew back to Dashai City.
Obviously, Dashai City had expected this result, but they were extremely surprised by the background and power I might have.
At noon the next day, the guards from the adventurer base broke into the dungeon and informed me that there was a call from Dasai City.
I was having lunch when I was suddenly disturbed, and my mood immediately lost its beauty. I thought that if it were the old Duke, I would have ridiculed him, but who would have expected that it was the Orc King.
The Orc King first chatted with me for a while and made it clear in advance that these were not just polite words to get closer. He really missed my fiancée Cagalli.
After all, she is his old man's favorite little daughter. He has not seen her for so long. As a father, how can he not think about it!
At the same time, the Beastman King also revealed a piece of information to me from a few words - now, from the royal family to the common people in Dashai City, they are all under the control of the old duke. Even he, as the monarch, is also restricted. freedom of movement and freedom of communication.
As soon as he reached this point, the Orc King's complaints suddenly stopped and instantly turned into boring, homely chatter.
It seemed that the whistle that the old Duke sent to monitor his old man was back again.
