A gentleman in a suit and single-frame glasses stood up and pointed at Director Willy and cursed him.

"A bunch of tax thieves! Those Imperials and traitors couldn't be caught, so they specifically targeted the street vendors of salted fish. Now they're trying to prey on a child? How come you've been going backwards for so many years?"

"When my boy was fifteen, he was still asking me for money and talking about dating. If he had been half as sensible as him, I would have felt relieved. How could you, the Consul's lackeys, have the heart to threaten such a child?"

"Chief Willy, I O you O."

Bang bang bang!

The judge nearly broke the gavel in his hand, but he couldn't stop yelling like a jury in a vegetable market, his mouth dry and his mouth dry: "Silence, silence!"

Finina raised her hand, turned to look at the jury, and said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to me. I will explain to you the true situation that happened to this young lady."

"Although you may not know me yet, I assure you, in the name of Funina Bonaparte, that everything I say is true."

As soon as the words fell, the jury's voices finally subsided.

Finnina took off her hat and waved, then put the hat on Daisy's head, who lowered her head, and walked to the center of the open court.

Several rituals took effect instantly, and Tia's voice, centered around her, spread out in all directions. The sound echoed back, instantly waking several dozing jury members.

"As you can see, Daisy Hudson was only commissioned by the newspaper to take photos of the meeting. Here is even a reply from the newspaper approving the photo shoot.

"Although the police barked like dogs that had smelled blood and recalled all the relevant newspapers that had been published, unfortunately, we still have a copy here - the article and photos published by Daisy are all normal, and the ruling meeting was fully open to the public.

"Freedom blows through the irises. Apparently, nothing in this meeting can be considered confidential. But our Governor Durant clearly doesn't think so.

"So today, we gather not to judge a child, but to judge the conscience of our times.

"When a governor uses us to shield himself, when he threatens a child with 'treason' and threatens the safety of a mother, are we to remain silent?

"Five hundred years ago, when King Ludd founded Iris, he declared: 'My sword shall be wielded only to protect the weak.

“Today, we face the same choice.

"We choose to reveal the truth here and now, not because we are not afraid of power, but because justice itself is worth pursuing!"

Casco Durant, who was watching from the jury, felt his heart skip a beat.

He came here to watch and make sure Daisy, who had discovered his plan, would shut up completely, but he found that the other party seemed to be coming for him as well.

Especially that Phonina Bonaparte!

God knows what she did, but the public court started to get so excited that she almost turned an incident of secretly photographing official documents into a scene of uprising!

OK!

If this goes on, not to mention his relationship with the Muslims, the turmoil caused by the public gathering will cause him to fall.

Durant whispered, "Do it."

The Tianfang man next to him yawned, looking confused, and said, "My lord, are you sure you want me to take action now? Have you fully confirmed the accusation?"

"It doesn't matter. Even if they guessed it, there's no evidence. The public has no memory, but if they really sent it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for an investigation, I'd be finished!"

"Alright alright."

The Tianfang man stood up, looked around, and whistled.

Durant said anxiously, "What are you still bragging about? If you keep waiting, I'll have to go to court!"

"Sir, don't worry, we need a helper..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp whistle was heard from the sky, and a "bang" interrupted Funina Bonaparte who was giving a proud speech in the center of the stage.

A bullet, a bright yellow bullet, suddenly shot out from nowhere, and there was not even any movement before that.

--boom!

The bullet hit Daisy's heart. Then came the women's screams, so shrill that they almost drowned out the sky.

The moment the bullet exploded, two elves burst out in the sparks, and one of them grabbed one of Daisy's hands.

The judge's eyes widened and he shouted angrily, "Guards! Where are the guards?!"

"I'm Skylark!"

"I am Nightingale!"

"Hello! Hello everyone! Hello judge! Hello director! Hello Mr. Archon! Hello, Your Highness!"

"Goodbye! Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!"

The two elves laughed loudly, grabbed Daisy's hands and jumped into the air, then disappeared in a flash.

The dock was empty.

Durant breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the stunned Tianfang people, and asked with a smile, "This is your helper. Really good. He took them away in a flash. Where did you know him? Can you introduce me to a few more people?"

The Tianfang people paused for a while and looked at Durant.

Snapped!

A big slap in the face.

Durant hadn't reacted yet, his face was burning with pain, and he was a little angry, but then he heard the roar of the Tianfang man:

"Help?! My helper hasn't arrived yet! Durant, why didn't you tell me that a transformed spirit was targeting you? You completely fucked up the prophet's business!"

Volume 1: Chapter 177 The Sword Points to the Ruler

The jury, which had just quieted down due to Funina's speech, was noisy again.

The crowd was packed together, pushing and shoving as they hurried out, unable to squeeze through the narrow steps of the jury box.

"Silence! Silence! Where are the guards? Everyone sit down!"

The guards were frightened as soon as they came in. They had no way of controlling the flow of people. If they were not careful, they would be trampled first.

Willy stood up and immediately said to the judge, "Move in all the police officers from our station outside. There's already a big commotion going on, and we absolutely cannot allow another major commotion to occur in the Castle District!"

"Chief Willy, I leave everything to you. I have to find out what's going on. This is the first time! I promise, I will write a thorough report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs! This matter must be thoroughly investigated, thoroughly investigated!"

——Boom!

The gavel slammed down on the table, the judge's face darkening. This time, he was clearly furious—robbery in an open courtroom! He'd thought the abuse of private power was outrageous enough, but he hadn't expected there to be another expert!

This was the first time in his 40-plus years of presiding over courts!

Although the judge did not say it explicitly because Willie was present, he believed deep down that this matter was related to Governor Durant.

If it wasn't related to him, then why would anyone come to rob an open court? Who would dare to rob an open court?

As the judge was thinking this, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps.

Scarlett held the police knife at her waist and frowned.

"Your Honor, we need an explanation. This trial is too unsafe and threatens Her Highness Eleanor. However, when we consulted the Ministry of Internal Affairs beforehand, the officials there assured us that an open court is absolutely safe and poses no danger."

This sounded like a powerful person. The judge felt a headache coming to his head - this matter was already annoying enough, and now it involved a big shot...

"——An explanation? I want an explanation! Wait, which prince are you talking about?"

"Her Highness Eleanor Moen. She is here today to observe the trial. Honestly, I'm very disappointed, sir."

"Miss, are you kidding me? Iris has long since lost its royal family, let alone a crown prince... Are you talking about Morn? Damn, Anzu's princess?"

"Yes. Her Highness Eleanor arrived a few days ago and happened to stop by for an inspection. We hope you can strengthen security checks within Mist Moon City. We don't want to encounter this kind of thing again the next time Her Highness goes out."

Scarlett lied calmly. She was not so skilled at lying before, but after half a year of experience with Tia, she had completely mastered the art of lying.

The judge felt his head was heavy and painful, and his vision was blurry and blurry.

"O Father of all creation!"

"What the hell is going on! First it was that Durant, and now here comes this princess of yours. If this matter is not thoroughly investigated, I think someone's going to lose their head!"

Just when the judge realized that the strong wind was about to turn into a storm, the person involved, Casco Durant, was still in the dark, not knowing which hero had taken action before him.

As soon as Freya and Branna started fighting, he immediately stood up and left the scene.

Back at City Hall, Durant walked quickly to his office with a gloomy face.

The hook-nosed Arab followed closely behind.

Durant slammed the table and stared at the foreigner who had just slapped him. "Abdullah! How dare you! You hit me? If this wasn't open court, I would have the power to send you back to where you came from just based on that slap!"

Abdullah sneered, "My Lord, calm down and don't be so childish. I'm here because I can make money for you, not because I want to beat you."

"Fuck you! You really are..."

Durant let out a long breath, slumped back in his chair, and said weakly, "So, what do we do now?"

"What should I do, sir? I'd like to know what you were doing before. Didn't you tell me that Funina Bonaparte was a foreigner? How come she was quoting the law more fluently than Director Willy?!"

"Also, two transformed spirits arrived in Mist Moon City, and you were completely oblivious. What were you doing?! And you, the ever-smarter one, walked right into Funina Bonaparte's trap!"

"What game?"

Durant still hadn't reacted.

Abdullah was so frustrated that he cursed, "It's this morning's drama! Now that little dwarf has led everyone to suspect your motives. The next step, the next step is to make this matter even bigger, until even the Ministry of Internal Affairs is alerted!"

"I..." Durant was speechless and said angrily, "Alright, alright. I certainly didn't notice the foreigner thing. As for the spirit transformation and spirit detection wizards in the Mage Tower, they've fled to the Empire. What can I do?"

"As for the Ministry of Internal Affairs... they can't alarm me. Willy is my man. That judge is too low-ranking. At most, the Ministry of Internal Affairs can send a few technical officers from the Alchemy Society to conduct inquiries. The problem now is how to deal with the aftermath. Where did Daisy go?"

Abdullah turned and lay on the sofa, stretched his arms, looked up and said, "Don't worry, my lord. He can't get away. I'll get it back for you."

"Don't mess this up for me again."

"This is an accident, an accident! It's just a transformation of spirits, it seems that only that dwarf can do it. I will do it for you today and silence you."

After he finished speaking, Abdullah's figure gradually became translucent, and his voice became increasingly ethereal, as if it came from the distant street outside the window.

When Duran③ Siling Qi'er⑵ turned around after finishing his work, he saw that the sofa was empty.

Durant still has confidence in the ability of this Muslim man - it is said that he is one of the youngest scholars in the Palace of Wisdom, and has participated in the development of the so-called "Destiny Star Map" of Muslims. There is a high probability that he will become a prophet of the Palace of Wisdom in the future.

The prophet of the Palace of Wisdom is not a sequence path, but a position, usually held by extraordinary people of the prophet path of sequence 5 or above.

But he didn't feel relieved for long, as several knocks on the door interrupted Durant's thoughts.

"Come in!"

The door was pushed open, and a clerk walked in and said hurriedly: "Master Durant, there is a big problem in the castle area."

"Castle District?"

"Yes! There was a public trial in the Castle District today, and a group of rebels showed up and kidnapped the suspect! Chief Willy reported this, and I saw him... It's so scary, so scary. I heard there were witches and witchcraft involved, my God... ⒉#印山^无:佚韭⒍彡②."

"I know, I know, if that's all there is to it, then don't say anything!"

Durant glared at the clerk fiercely and almost kicked him away - he was upset when he heard this!

The clerk said awkwardly, "Sir, sir, there is another important matter!"

"Speak! Speak quickly!"

As soon as Durant finished speaking, a piece of news exploded in his ears like a bolt from the blue.

"A member of the Ansu delegation, Her Royal Highness Eleanor Morn, Princess of Queen Elizabeth, was also present. She witnessed the entire attack and was horrified. Ansu's Foreign Minister, Ms. Bernice, has requested that the Ministry of the Interior conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and strengthen security checks in Mistmoon City to prevent such incidents from happening again."

Volume 1: Chapter 178: The Selection of the New King

Outside the Castle District Public Court, the crowd evacuated from the court under the leadership of the police.

Miss Fernina Bonaparte, who stirred up this storm, just withdrew her hand reluctantly, said goodbye to Director Willy and the judge, and left quickly to a restaurant not far away.

In the restaurant, Eleanor, Scarlett, Matthew and Huck were all there.

Huck bought the two girls ice cream and showed his courtesy. He said in an exaggerated tone, "No wonder you're still so dazzling next to Miss Bonaparte! It's you, the great Eleanor. Huck, the humble one, begs you to say a few good words to Her Majesty the Queen. I want to get a dog for the church next year. That old bishop is allergic to dog hair and has scolded me many times. Please transfer that old man away!"

Eleanor was at a loss as to what to do with the ice cream.

She was not used to being courted by others, especially when the other party was a little insincere. It felt like she was looking at a two-headed monster.

At this moment, Funina came over and asked in confusion, "You're all here."

Huck immediately went to buy another ice cream cone and said respectfully, "No wonder you shine so brightly next to Her Highness Eleanor! You are brighter than the sun...you are the most beautiful...I have ever seen..."

"Please go away."

Tia was very polite when she played Funina. Huck put down the cone happily.
