MTL - I Like This Dream!-v2 Chapter 83

An Xu didn't quite understand how the plot unfolded.

She thought she was doing pretty well, and when Chris was going to the teleportation room, she took him there. Although the attempt to show off the map cannon to be handsome on the way failed—for some reason, the spirit core after another mutation became a cheapskate who only eats but doesn’t vomit—but she witty kept her image and successfully took Chris all the way reach the destination. The knight destroyed the ground with a big sword, and the strange beasts stopped coming out. They formed a team to clean up the map along the way, and cleared the dungeon at dawn. The NPC who gave out rewards, the Royal Knights, came.

Things don't go quite right from here.

It's fine if they didn't hand out the rewards on the spot. After the Royal Knights confirmed their identities, they actually wanted to take Chris away as if they were asking questions.

"Why did you take him away?" An Xu asked in front of them. After the battle, she stretched out her hands that were tucked into her sleeves, wondering whether this group of soldiers also belonged to the part to be wiped out.

"Lord Sullivan," the team leader said solemnly, "The Gale Knights participated in the criminal Ronald's treasonous crime, and the head of the branch, Chris, is more likely to be the culprit who put the beast into Urburg. We are ordered to arrest the escaped Rebels, please don't stop me."

"If he put the alien beast in, why would he destroy the teleportation array and clean up the alien beast?" An Xu said bluntly, "Is he stupid or are you stupid?"

"If this person is wronged, he will be innocent after the trial." The other party continued to say in an official tone.

This sentence didn't convince An Xu at all, it was Chris who convinced her, and he stopped her before An Xu couldn't help but make a move.

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Sullivan." He said calmly. "Please let me go with them. I think the court will give everyone justice."

The knight comforted An Xu with worried eyes, making her feel that maybe things should develop like this, just like every hero story that first suppresses and then rises, and destroying it will only lead to bad things. Anyway, in court, if you are not satisfied with the verdict, you can fight again at any time, An Xu thought.

She went back patiently, and saw Caleb who ran back from the chaos, and Flora and Lydia who were lucky to be safe and sound. Caleb cried and said that it's great that you're back, and it's good that nothing happened. I was so worried that I didn't think about food and drink, but fortunately, I didn't lie on her chest like I was familiar with it. This man who was good at observing words and expressions keenly felt that there was a different kind of indifference from his boss.

The sinner Ronald escaped without a trace. In order to avoid causing more turmoil, all the conspirators who met on the night of the Black Beast Rebellion demanded to be executed on the spot. Therefore, Chris, the head of the Gale Knights, is the most valuable among the conspirators captured alive. the one. After several days of private hearings, he will be tried by noblemen at the Grand Court of Urburg.

Soon came the day of the trial.

The Sullivan family has a somewhat important seat in the Grand Court. For Ansy, its best place is that it is close to the dock. She propped her head through the opening speeches that she was not listening to at all (the king said a few words angrily, the prime minister struck a few words calmly, and the justice made a scene), and then sat up straight in her seat when the interrogated person was brought in. .

Chris was wearing a yellow prison uniform, the blood was cleaned off, and the shackles on his hands and feet looked familiar, they were God's Chains of Retaliation. There was a flurry of murmurs as he walked in, and Anshu wasn't the only one whose attention had been drawn. The wrecked knight did not cast a glance at the whisperers, but took his stand in the dock, saluting the judge and the king.

"Sinner Chris Field." The judge said, "Are you a subordinate of Ronald the Conspirator, the branch leader of the Gale Knights?"

"Yes." Chris replied.

Caleb explained to An Xu in a low voice that there were three real supernatural beings in the courtroom, one was standing beside the king, one was standing beside the jury, and the remaining one was the judge himself. Thanks to these human polygraph machines, the interrogation doesn't have to become lengthy or bloody, and when it comes to the public trial part, it's basically just a formality.

"Do you know the disobedience of Ronald the Conspirator?"

"yes."

"Since when did Ronald the Conspirator begin to plan this monstrous deed?"

"I have no idea."

"So, since when did you know about this?"

"Earlier this year. I just didn't know he was going to do it."

"You don't know?" the judge asked sternly, "Did you personally participate in the deployment of the teleportation array from the Wenjialuo line to Urburg, causing the beast tide to spread in Urburg?"

"Yes," Chris said, "but I didn't know it beforehand."

Richard II snorted coldly, and the courtiers around him immediately screamed: "Omega, do you think you can shirk your unforgivable crime by doing this!"

"That's 'Echoing Man' Ford," Caleb whispered in Ansu's ear, "The supernatural power is a jester with emotional resonance. He has no title or real position, but what he says often represents the meaning of the king."

"I didn't think so." The knight replied calmly, "But I really don't know the plan to put the alien beast in Urburg, and my adjutant and I are the only ones in the Gale Knights who know that the traitor Ronald has disobedience." Heart, the rest of the regiment knew nothing about it and did not take part in the rebellion."

"You just need to answer 'yes' or 'no'." The judge frowned and glanced at him, "Chris Field, the introduction of alien beasts invaded the capital, causing His Majesty the king and many nobles to be offended, and the palace was damaged. Thousands of people died in the beast tide, can you plead guilty?"

Chris' facial lines were tense, and An Xu felt that he had clenched his teeth. For the first time since the court session, pain appeared in his eyes, and he said dryly, "Yes."

"The whereabouts of the traitor Ronald is still unknown. Do you know where he went?"

"have no idea."

"Do you know anything about Ronald the Conspirator's follow-up plan?"

"have no idea."

The justice nodded, solemnly took out a roll of parchment, and said, "Well, if there is no objection..."

"Wait a minute!"

The Patriarch of the Pu Lan family stood up, her face was haggard, and she was more than ten years older than the proud look before. She saluted the king and asked Chris, "Where are your accomplices? Where are your accomplices who caused all this?"

"My adjutant," Chris paused, "as far as I know, she died on the night of the beast tide. I don't know where the traitor Ronald went."

"Really? And what about the others?" Viscount Poulein asked excitedly, staring at the jury on the opposite side, and then quickly turned to the king, "Your Majesty! When the Royal Knights found this sinner, Sullivan Count Anna is with him!"

An Xu, who was sitting there and was shot for no reason, looked up at them.

Pairs of eyes focused on her. An Xu didn't have the fear of being noticed by big figures including the king, and still leaned on the seat without a picture. Caleb was pulling at the hem of her clothes under the table, she glanced at him inexplicably, and snatched her hem back.

"Sinner Chris Field," the judge coughed dryly, "Why did you go with Earl Anna that night?"

"Meet me on the road." Chris said.

"Is the Earl related to the plan of the traitor Ronald?"

"No."

"It seems Count Anna has nothing to do with this matter..."

"Objection!" Viscount Poulein interrupted, "Chris Field, what is your relationship with Anna Sullivan?"

"not related."

The one I knew was just Ann, Chris said to himself.

The true ability is not invulnerable, it can only judge whether the other party is lying or not. As for concealment, there are also concepts that I believe in secretly changing, which are not within the scope of real abilities.

"Then why did you save a stranger from the beast tide you brought?" Viscount Pulan said aggressively.

"I have no intention of saving her." Chris said, "Miss Sullivan is powerful, we just met by chance. Without her, the teleportation array in the palace's teleportation room would not have been shut down in such a short period of time."

This is the best way to get Ann out, and what Chris said is not a lie. His purpose was to close the teleportation array, and he never expected to meet Ann; after meeting An, he had already chosen between destroying the teleportation array and protecting An. In this case, Ann selflessly helped Chris and rushed to the dangerous teleportation room with him. Her heroism should not be stigmatized for being associated with rebel conspirators.

Chris didn't turn his head to look at Ann's face, he acted very calmly, as if talking about a stranger not worth mentioning. Now that Wang Ting would not let him go, nor would he let go of the innocent Gale Knights, this was the only thing he could do.

An Xu looked at Chris in the dock, not knowing what mood he was in.

Not a single human polygraph machine called out, so it can be seen that what Chris said was all the truth. Even though she had already known that "this Chris is not another Chris", she was somewhat frustrated when this Chris said that he had nothing to do with her. An Xu formed a team with this knight, and at least they played the book together, so it can be regarded as a temporary comrade-in-arms relationship, right? What's more, along the way, An Xu was still trying to find a good impression. Using an animal analogy, she felt that she was only about to dance the courtship dance to Chris. However, it was of no use.

Besides, didn't Chris plan to save her before? So what happened to the expression at that time? An Xu felt a little confused, and also a kind of embarrassment of being affectionate.

She lost her mind for a long time, and missed Viscount Pulan's endless pestering, the king's final decision, and the malicious titters of other nobles. Once again, it was time for the sentencing.

"Sinner Chris Field, the crime is undeniable and unforgivable!" The justice said, "But His Majesty the King is merciful, thinking that the traitor Ronald acted absurdly, and the sinner Chris is an omega, weak and ignorant in nature, Instead of the death penalty,..."

An Xu didn't understand the latter word because there was a burst of laughter in the courtroom. Loud noises were not allowed in the court, and the nobles laughed so loudly, probably because Ford, the king's microphone, was laughing up and down—you see, the king also thought it was something worth laughing about.

"What to change?" An Xu asked Caleb, and Caleb repeated it stiffly, it was a very uncommon, elegant and rare word. She frowned, letting Caleb explain bluntly.

"I'm a soldier." Caleb said with a wooden face, "It means to be assigned as a military #prostitute."

At this moment, the laughter has subsided. Nobles are well-educated people after all. It is unremarkable for an omega to become the leader of the Knights, participate in the rebellion, and finally get the punishment he deserves and return to his rightful position. Church. The impartial judge cleared his throat, and continued: "The brave and fearless Earl Anna, for destroying the teleportation array and saving Urburg from danger, hereby His Majesty rewards you..."

There was a crackling sound, and the brave and fearless Earl Anna had just finished listening to Caleb's explanation, when she lost her seat and fell off the seat.

"I don't want another reward!" She got up, pointed at the criminal in the dock, and shouted in a voice that could be called a scream, "Give him to me!"
