Chapter 169 169 Trial
Chapter 170 170.Judgment
Luo Ning's words were so abrupt that the nobles and knights present were shocked and confused.
They don't understand, what does this knight's game have to do with Baron Leisen of Thain?
Even Brayton, the host of the Cavaliers competition, couldn't help walking up to Luo Ning and reminding him softly: "Brother, Baron Leisen must be fifty years old. According to the rules of the Cavaliers competition, he is not eligible to participate."
At this time, Leisen, who was watching the game with great interest on the terrace, also came to the front. He thought that Luo Ning wanted to challenge him in front of many nobles.
"Luo Ning, I admit that your strength is very strong, far beyond my expectation. This is Wushanbao's blessing."
Leisen held on to the railing at the edge of the terrace and said: "But today is a festive day. Someone will definitely be injured when you and I fight, so please forgive me for not accepting your challenge."
Although he refused with a smile, he felt very contemptuous of Luo Ning's behavior.
From Leisen's point of view, Luo Ning's act was clearly a form of public revenge.
Yes, Hillwood Town and the Thain Territory are indeed at odds with each other. Leisen even lost to Luo Ning's knights, but one thing is the same and Luo Ning's arrangement would be too much for Luo Ning to settle old scores on an occasion like today. A little lower.
"No, no, no, you misunderstood me, Rayson."
Luo Ning said no three times in a row. He raised the Flowing Flame Sword in his hand and pointed it directly at the opponent. As the fighting spirit poured in, the Flowing Flame Sword flashed with blazing light. Luo Ning's expression also changed from indifferent to very serious, and even There was also a bit of murderous intent.
"I'm not challenging you, I'm judging you!"
Judgment?
After Luo Ning said this word, the nobles present were even more stunned, and many people started whispering.
The word "judgment" is too impolite to apply to aristocrats.
When Luo Ning said this, it meant that his relationship with Leisen had reached an irreconcilable point.
Many nobles who had a discordant relationship with Leisen watched all this with a spectator mentality. For example, Viscount Marvin, who did not take it too seriously, said:
"Leisen, no matter how Ronin wants to judge you, since he has publicly pointed it out, I think you should stop standing on the balcony and get down quickly."
Some nobles for unknown reasons, based on the principle of "harmony brings wealth", began to persuade Luo Ning to temporarily put aside the dispute between Hillwood Town and Thain Territory and celebrate the festival with peace of mind.
"Interesting, interesting."
Jesus' voice rang out at an inappropriate time, "I didn't expect that in order to prevent Her Highness the Princess from being bored at Wushan Castle, such a program would be arranged. It is really wonderful, wonderful, and eye-opening to me!"
"Count Jesus, Wushan Castle has arranged a comfortable bedroom for you. If you are tired, please go down and rest early."
Wiggins, who is in a wheelchair, has long been unhappy with Jesus.
His Majesty Bruno's younger brother is actually only the Earl of Moonlight Valley, which shows that Jesus' status has little weight in the Alduin royal family.
As the second master of Wushan Castle, Wiggins could not do anything to him even if he said something rude.
However, Wiggins was also baffled by Ronin's behavior, and he was quite unhappy.
Jesus sneered, "I just want to remind you that if a noble is publicly tried for slander, according to the laws of the kingdom, it is a serious crime!"
Not to mention the discussions and whispers among these people, Leisen, who was brought into the public eye by Luo Ning, started to feel a little panicked.
Could it be that Luo Ning has his evidence?
This is impossible, the other party has never shown any signs before.
Leisen felt uneasy, but his expression remained calm, "Luo Ning, you want to judge me? In what name do you judge me?"
He jumped into the middle of the square.
The fighting spirit surging in him represented his anger, "Insulting a noble, even if you are the eldest grandson of a marquis, I will challenge you to a life-and-death duel!"
A duel to the death was an extreme way to resolve disputes between nobles, but it was very common and considered a symbol of honor and courage.
"I admire your courage, Baron Leisen."
Luo Ning smiled and said: "If I lose to a senior knight, I will definitely not challenge anyone else to a duel, at least not for three to five years."
Luo Ning's words immediately caused many people to burst into laughter.
"you!"
Leisen's face turned red with anger. He roared angrily and was the first to take action.
However, McCann, who had been standing aside for a long time, stood in front of Luoning and blocked the opponent's menacing punch.
Leisen was horrified to find that the guard beside Luo Ning seemed to be no weaker than Ruidal.
When did this Shanlin Town and this Luoning have so many cutting-edge forces?
"Leisen, don't worry."
Luo Ning stepped back slightly and said loudly: "Everyone must be very concerned about the assassination of Her Royal Highness the Princess yesterday. Now I want to identify in public that there is the shadow of Baron Leisen Thain of Swamp Town behind this incident!"
Suddenly, there was an uproar.
On the terrace, all the nobles were shocked by Luo Ning's words.
Even Jesus, who had been joking and sarcastic just now, now showed a serious expression;
Even Viscount Marvin, who was not too concerned about the excitement, stopped smiling;
Even the very nervous Wiggins was a little anxious, "Luoning, what are you talking about!"
Identifying a noble to assassinate a noble is a big deal, and identifying a noble to assassinate a princess is even more of a big deal.
"What is Luo Ning doing?"
Orson's expression was serious and cold. He couldn't help but glance at Lu Lans who was sitting in front of him. The other party was still calm at this time.
"Did Lu Lans know about this in advance?"
"He should know!"
Orson thought to himself, "So, he was going to use Roning to kill Lei Sen? But this assassination of the princess couldn't be related to Lei Sen?"
Lei Sen was just a baron, and Swamp Town was not a rich place. He didn't have the ability to hire a gold-level assassin, and he didn't dare to assassinate the princess.
Faced with this accusation, Lei Sen's hanging heart was put down.
"Absurd!"
He seemed to be angry and laughed, "You want to frame me for assassinating other nobles, which is a bit credible, saying that I assassinated the princess, do I have the ability?"
"As everyone knows, my father was assassinated by the killer organization "Skull and Bones" a few months ago."
Roning looked around and his eyes finally fell on Wiggins.
"In that assassination, although my father saved his life, he lost a leg. He can only be accompanied by a wheelchair in this life, and there is no possibility of charging into battle."
Wiggins looked unhappy. The trial was a trial, why did they pull him out as an example and rub salt into his wounds?
At this time, Roning said loudly: "And on the seventh of this month, I, Roning, was also assassinated in the castle of Shanlin Town, my territory!"
This sentence was like a boulder falling into the lake, setting off a big wave.
Leisen's face changed drastically.
He had always thought that the Skull and Bones Society had not yet attacked Roning, and even thought that the assassination of Princess Blanche was supposed to be aimed at Roning.
He never thought that the Skull and Bones Society had already taken action, and the location of the action was still in Shanlin Town.
That means the assassination failed?
