Lord of War

"The people of Dabion Kingdom get out!"

"Our lord is Sean Connery! The people of Dabion Kingdom get out of our territory!"

"Get out!"

There are more and more residents gathered outside the lord's mansion. The gathering of nearly 10,000 people has turned the entire center of the void city into a sea of ​​people for a while, and there are even other people rushing over. It is not an easy task for those who come here just to turn around. But at this moment, none of the residents and businessmen here complained, and everyone's eyes were all focused on the Lord's Mansion, and the original noisy and chaotic noise, I don't know when it started, it became very orderly unite.

"We are from the Principality of Ryan! You Dabiang dogs, get out of our territory!"

In the crowd, someone screamed again.

But this time, the atmosphere was a bit awkward, and there was no uniform shouting like before.

The predecessor of Pandaling was the territory of the Dabion Kingdom after all, and the people here have always regarded themselves as Dabion people. Even in the year when they were abandoned by the Dabion Kingdom, these people still remained He did not forget his identity as a Dabion. Although today, under Xiao En's rule, there are many outsiders in the territory, most of them are still Dabion people, so this sentence is actually tantamount to denying the past and blood of these people, perhaps other outsiders The author may admit this, but the Darbiones cannot admit it anyway if they do not have enough courage.

Or rather, it's actually an insult.

Although there are many countries in the Miracle Continent, and they even often go to war with each other, no matter if they are civilians or nobles, they all have a kind of pride in their own blood.

And these are the cornerstones that support a country.

Perhaps within the system of those nobles. They will also pursue the purity of blood and the strength of power. But these are too far away for the common people. What the common people really support is the recognition and pride of their own status. Without the recognition and support of these common people, even if there is a strong man who declares independence, he will eventually be defeated. Can't escape the end of decline and destruction.

To the Dabion people, the Principality of Ryan is still an outsider after all.

They can recognize Sean's arrival, and they can also recognize Sean as the lord, because Sean has improved their lives and provided them with shelter. That's why they feel proud and proud of being the citizens of Pandaland. But all of this is nothing more than that, and it is another problem to want them to forget their Dabion identity.

Shouting this sentence when we need to work together at this moment, one can imagine how ulterior motives the person who shouted this sentence has.

The originally angry crowd. Start to cool down.

"I am from Dabion." At this moment, another voice suddenly sounded. The sound was a little soft at first. But gradually the tone became higher, "But now, I am also from Ryan! I don't know what those nobles are thinking, I only know how I got here in the past few years, and I only know that in my earliest days It was a difficult and painful period. It was Lord Xiao En who led me out!... If it is said that to become a subject of Lord Xiao En, one must abandon the identity of the Darbion, then... from today, I will be Lions!"

"Darbion dog get off our property!"

This shout. Full of the smell of exhaustion, it seems to be the courage and strength of a lifetime.

However, after shouting this sentence, a blush appeared on the face of the speaking middle-aged man, which was a relaxed look mixed with pride, joy and relief.

A few seconds of silence,

Immediately afterwards, someone yelled again: "From today! I am a Ryan! Dabiang's beasts get out of our territory!"

At this moment, being a Ryan seems to be a kind of pride, not a shame.

Once this chain reaction-like effect unfolded, the crowd in the entire square became more agitated again, and the momentum, centripetal force, and cohesion even far exceeded before.

And such an inspiring shout resounded through the entire city center like a storm, and even the Lord's Mansion, which had been sound-proofed, couldn't resist the sound. Sean, Domingo, Christina and others in the conference room could all hear them clearly.

It's just that, unlike the joyful expression on Sean's face, Domingo Hastings' expression was so gloomy that he almost dripped water.

Domingo, who has been a leader for a long time, has long forgotten the pain of the people living at the bottom of the pyramid. So of course he couldn't understand how far-reaching and important the significance and impact of Xiao En's appearance had been when Panda Ling was living in dire straits. What he can see is that the Panda collar is thriving now, but he can't see how much effort Sean has spent on this prosperous development.

"Your Excellency's reputation is really unmatched." Domingo sneered.

But Sean seemed completely unaware that these words were mocking him. He even nodded seriously and said, "If Earl Domingo can devote more energy to the development of the territory, then you You can also win the support of the entire territory of Tinchin... However, I heard that you seem to be the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment of Dabihan, Mr. Earl. I am afraid that you don’t have much time to deal with the affairs of the territory? No wonder you can’t understand being ruled. The people embrace this kind of thing.”

Domingo's facial muscles twitched slightly.

"But speaking of it, Baron Soma is a very good political officer." Sean suddenly said with a look of nostalgia, "I also appreciate his talent and ability. With such an excellent political officer, Ting It doesn't seem to be an important matter whether the people of Chinland know your name, Domingo Hastings."

Domingo stared at Sean angrily, but soon, he took a few more deep breaths, trying to calm down the anger in his heart. In front of the executive officer of the Peace Association, if he takes the lead in getting angry, then the situation is likely to turn into an extremely unfavorable side for him, and in order to avoid this situation, Domingo is very clear that he must not be provoked by the young man in front of him .

The anger on Domingo's face has receded, and he said with a calm smile: "I really hope that after the arbitration result comes out in a while, you can still laugh."

"Of course." Sean nodded, "We've also prepared a celebration later, do you want to attend together, Lord Earl?"

Hearing Xiao En's words, Domingo's face showed a hint of doubt for the first time. A powerful figure like him, and with the support of the Hastings family, of course, he has seen many people of all kinds, including those who want to save face and slap their faces and call them fat. Domingo could tell at a glance that he was pretending, and he had always thought that Sean was trying to lose face, but at this moment it didn't look like it at all.

There was a slight uneasiness in my heart. Domingo couldn't help turning his head to look at Christina.

The executive had spent more than half an hour studying the two documents of the land contract, which was obviously not a good sign.

"It's just a forged document of a territorial contract. Does it take so long to study?" Domingo's inner anxiety finally made him speak again.

"It is indeed a forged document of the territorial contract." Hearing Domingo's words, Christina finally nodded. He opened his mouth in a deep voice, and at the same time threw back to Domingo the piece of land contract document that belonged to Domingo. "Fortunately, I came here this time. Otherwise, you will indeed be fooled by your Excellency. ... You must have spent a lot of thought on such a professional forgery technique. Let me guess whose handwriting it is. ... Well, it can There are no more than five people in this world who have produced such a brilliant forgery document, but considering Ting Qi’s situation and the rumors he has received, it must be Yong Ye’s handwriting.”

"Yongye?" Sean was taken aback for a moment.

If you only hear this term, you certainly don't know what it means. But Sean had dealt with Eli Kate after all, and this forged document was indeed written by him, so when he heard this term. Sean immediately thought of the thief. But what he didn't expect was, why would even Christina, the executive officer of the Peace Association, know about this person?

Could it be that Eli Kate of Eternal Night is really that powerful?

But Sean's stunned expression made Christina think that Sean didn't know the meaning of the name, so she explained: "Yong Ye refers to Eli Kate of Yong Ye. ... This guy is a thief The honorary elder of the guild, although his personal strength and combat experience is really terrible, but if the ability of 'falsification' can also be selected for grades, this guy's strength is definitely a master level.... And this kind of forgery is not Not only the paperwork, but even the environment, identity, etc., he can easily solve it. He is like a thief who is always in the dark, so he is called the Son of Eternal Night.... But under normal circumstances , everyone calls him Eli Kate of Eternal Night..."

"It's impossible!" Before Christina could finish her words, Domingo really slapped the table this time.

Naturally, even Christina was taken aback by such a strong reaction.

"This contract document of mine cannot be fake!" Domingo's face was shocked and angry, like a gambler who lost a bet, his eyes were bloodshot, "It must be you! You must have colluded with him, right! The executive officer of the Peace Society was actually bought!"

"Please pay attention to your wording, Your Excellency!" There was a cold light in Christina's eyes, and the momentum on her body had changed slightly.

In the arena, apart from William and Neil who are not good at fighting, people like Sean, Cecilia, Thain, and Domingo are naturally aware of this change in aura at the first time, and even these silver-level Any expert can detect the change in Christina's momentum, let alone Taylor, who is also a high-ranking gold powerhouse.

This strong man, the deputy head of the Second Knights of Dabion, got up and stood beside Domingo immediately, protecting both Domingo and Thain behind him. He stared at Christina, looking as if he was facing a big enemy. As for Sean and Cecilia, Taylor had completely ignored them at this moment. After all, they were just two silver-level masters. , even the next gold powerhouse is not considered, so it is naturally impossible for Taylor to put it in his eyes.

"What? I'm right, do you want to kill people now?" Domingo looked at Christina with an angry face, and the madness in his eyes proved that he was not pretending, but really couldn't accept it. such a fact.

This change made Neil, William, Sean and others all curious. What happened to Domingo that made him unable to accept such a fact? According to their survey. This time, the Hastings family was obviously instigated by the Nugus family, so they competed with Sean for the ownership of the Panda Territory, and even did not hesitate to anger Asuna, the Marquis of Tonis.

However, this plan does have a lot of benefits involved, because if it succeeds, at least the Dabion Kingdom will be equivalent to reopening the entrance and exit of the Canyon Rift, and it will also delay the agreed plan of Xiao En and Asuna by at least two days. more than a year. However, even if the Panda leader is not taken away from Sean, neither the Nugus nor the Hastings will suffer any loss. It can only be said that the current financial situation of the Dabiang Kingdom is not in the slightest. It's just a change.

But whether it succeeds or not, it is a very troublesome thing for Sean and Asuna.

This is purely a political confrontation to disgust others, not even a conspiracy.

It is precisely because of this. So even if he failed, it was impossible for Domingo Hastings to lose his composure to such an extent. You must know that the Peace Association has never been bought by anyone or forces. This is already a common understanding of the world. How crazy is this Domingo. Why did he say that Christina was bribed by Sean, such ignorant words?

"My lord!" Thain suddenly pulled Domingo's sleeve.

After being pulled by Thain, Domingo suddenly came to his senses. The crazy look on his face gradually calmed down.

only. Thain's somewhat transgressive move did not escape the eyes of William, Sean and others.

As Thain was just a clerk, not even a nobleman, even if he wanted to remind Domingo to calm down, he should use other methods instead of the slightly intimate way of pulling his sleeves.

But the current situation seems to be a bit strange and special, so although William and the others see everything in their eyes. But still didn't say anything. They are still looking at Domingo with great interest, wanting to see what kind of crazy move Domingo will make next. Of course, if they can fight with Christina, then Sean will definitely I don't mind at all.

"I'm sorry. Your Excellency, Executive Officer, I lost my composure just now." But what Xiao En and others did not expect was that Domingo apologized directly as a bachelor. This move really exceeded their expectations. , "I shouldn't doubt the justice of the Peace Association. ... There must be other misunderstandings. This territory contract document cannot be fake, because I personally confirmed it at the time."

"But the copy you took out is indeed a forgery." Christina glanced at Taylor coldly. Although she really wanted to kill someone, since Domingo had already apologized, of course she couldn't Holding on to it, "The material of this forged document is very consistent with the genuine one, to the extent that it can be confused with the real one.... However, if you compare it with the real one, you can still find a lot of problems."

While saying this, Christina opened Domingo's contract document, then took out the proof document of the territory, pointed to one of the lines on it and said: "Please carefully look at the back of this line."

Hearing this, even Xiao En and the others came together to watch very curiously.

It was originally just a line of very ordinary handwriting, and there was nothing unusual about it except for the neat writing. However, under Christina's guidance, everyone soon discovered that after this line of writing was written, the back of the paper actually had some raised marks and traces of ink erosion.

"Now, let's take a look at Lord Xiaon's proof."

While Christina was saying this, she also pulled out the supporting documents from Sean's territorial contract document. There was no need to look at the front of the document, but she turned to the back and found no traces of ink erosion, even Even if you touch it with your hands, you won't feel any bumps, only a smooth feeling. At this time, everyone even discovered that among the two certification documents, the forged one actually had slightly diffuse traces on the seal of the royal family. For the genuine one, the seal belonging to the royal family of the Darbion Kingdom did not show any signs of spreading, and even that seal had a layer of brilliance.

"All the papers related to the territory certification documents are issued by our Peace Association, and the writing on them is also written with special magic pens and magic inks, so there is absolutely no possibility of such embossing and ink erosion. "Christina continued to explain, "And the stamped imprint from the royal family also has special magical protection. The general forgery may last for a few days and then it will spread and melt on the paper like this....From the traces Look, it will take at least half a year for this seal to be truly melted, and I can tell from this that the person who forged this document is definitely a master."

Hearing what Christina said, Domingo already knew that no matter what, he couldn't clear up the suspicion of forging documents. But because of his anger, he clenched his fists tightly. He couldn't figure it out. After he got the land contract document, he kept it in the manor's mansion, but why did he go to Xiao En again? in your hand? And why is his own document a fake?

Could it be that there are thieves in Hastings Manor?

Thinking of this, Domingo stared at Sean like a sharp sword.

Facing Domingo's sharp eyes, Sean smiled calmly. If his eyes could kill, he would have died hundreds of times. How could he survive to this day?

But at this moment, Thain suddenly said: "Your Excellency Sean, I wonder if you have any impression of the name Fran Dumoy?"

"Fran Dumoy?" Sean was taken aback for a moment, "Who is it?"

"A person who suddenly appeared in Lomingn and disappeared within a few days." Thain chuckled, "It is indeed a bit of a coincidence that when this person who claimed to be the Viscount appeared, Soma Hastings The political officer once invited this person to a dinner at Hastings Manor, and after the dinner, with the departure of the Viscount, a theft occurred in the manor, and a famous painting worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins was lost."

"What does that have to do with me?" Sean was a little dazed.

"It doesn't seem to be there at the moment, but who knows what will happen in the future." Thain said.

"Are you suspicious of me?"

"It's a big taboo to doubt a nobleman casually, but... His Excellency Xiao En doesn't seem to be considered a nobleman?" Thain said with a smile on his face.

At this time, Domingo finally reacted: "Your Excellency, I now suspect that my contract document was stolen by others. Therefore, I request the temporary termination of all the ruling rights of Lord Xiao En over the Panda Land, and Stop all military operations in this territory!"

"It's ridiculous." Sean sneered, "If you are going to stop my control over my territory based on your casual lies, then can I also say that your Tinchin territory probably doesn't belong to the territory at all? Yours, also request to stop all your territorial control, and let your Hastings get out of the territory quickly?"

"Indeed." Christina nodded slightly, "This request is a bit excessive."

"but……"

"How about it." Christina pondered for a moment, and then said again, "Sir Sean Connery is still the acting lord of Pandaland. I will give you three months. If no new evidence can be found to show that your territorial contract document was stolen, then Sir Sean Connery will officially become the lord of Panda Territory."

"It's very unfair to me!" Sean frowned slightly, looking very upset.

But this time, Domingo no longer made any entanglements, but nodded and said: "I don't think it will take three months, only half a month is enough....I will immediately let you be in charge of the dinner that day." Soma Hastings is coming over here." (To be continued...)

ps: I accidentally bumped it while taking a shower, and the fingernail of my left index finger was almost lifted off in one piece. This is simply an unbearable pain in life! ! So far, my luck doesn't seem to be improving yet? The left index finger is useless, and the current coding speed is only 500 words per hour, which is simply horrible... So what, today is this chapter. In addition, for the sake of my hard work, please comfort me...
