I really can't control myself

Chapter 77
"Didn't you just say that there is nothing you can't solve in this imperial capital?" Linton roared.

"I said most of it, I'm not the emperor, and there are things I can't handle." The old man here said.

"Has this matter already risen to the point where the emperor can handle it?" Linton asked, mainly to inquire about the specific situation of this matter. After all, Ghasain was arrested halfway, and what happened later Don't know at all.

"You shouldn't have anything to do with this, right? You raised the phantom beast?" the old man asked.

"Uh... Of course not." Linton sold the fire-eating beast in an instant, "It's just that my nephew was involved in this incident because of this unwarranted disaster, and now I'm trying to get him out."

"Your nephew?" The old man frowned. "I heard that a suspect was locked up. Could that suspect be your nephew?"

"Yeah." Linton nodded.

"That...it's troublesome," the old man said.

"What's the matter? The damage caused by the monsters is particularly large?" Linton asked.

"In terms of losses, it's another matter. The most troublesome thing is that during the process of catching the phantom beast yesterday, His Royal Highness was injured by the phantom beast, and the injury was quite serious. So this matter is very troublesome now, you I came here to ask for help, but I think it's useless, Your Majesty is furious, no one dares to touch this bad guy at this time." The old man said.

"The eldest prince is injured?" Linton had a headache. If there was no accident, the eldest prince should be the prince, and he really stabbed the big basket.

"Yeah, that kid overestimated his abilities. I heard that someone was chasing the beasts, but he insisted on going up, but he was injured."

"What about the monster after that? Was it beaten to death?" Linton asked.

"No, ran away, and now the Royal Guard is still chasing." The old man said.

Linton had a headache. This troublesome thing might as well be dead. It would be even more troublesome if he didn't want to run back to find himself.

After thinking about it, Linton said: "It seems that this matter is really serious, but it really doesn't care about my nephew. This beast can escape under the pursuit of the Royal Guard. It is definitely very powerful. Warcraft, this obviously can't be my nephew's pet, he is a country baron, how can he have such skills."

"I understand what you mean, but it's useless for you to tell me about this. I'm not His Majesty the Emperor." The old man spread his hands and said, "But someone must have brought this phantom beast into the city. This thing was discovered and reported by the guards long ago when it came into the city, so it is estimated that someone planned this incident. Of course, I also think that your nephew is unlikely to be possible. Only the nobles of the imperial capital can do this. Because they want to If you bring monsters into the city without being checked, it must be that kind of big noble."

Linton said he had a headache. Of course he knew how the fire-devouring beast came in. Isn't this what the third princess brought in?It is estimated that when the third princess entered the city at that time, the fire-devouring beast avoided it a little. After all, it would be more troublesome to enter the city if the monster was a monster. Of course, no soldier dared to check the car of the third princess casually, so it was put into the city.It always feels like the misunderstanding is getting bigger and bigger.

"Then you also think that if my nephew is not the murderer, other people should be able to figure it out. His Majesty the Emperor should not be so stupid. So my nephew should be fine?" Linton asked.

"Who knows, we have to see if we can find the real murderer. If we can't find it, we will have to find someone to carry this matter back," the old man said.

Linton probably understood that the eldest prince was injured and the beasts were causing chaos in the capital. You can't talk about this, which is indeed a blow to the royal prestige.For the sake of the royal family's face, even if the culprit is not caught in the end, it is estimated that a culprit will be brought out.So even if everyone doesn't believe that Garceen will be the murderer, he will undoubtedly become the best blamer who is caught at this time. If there is really no one to blame, then it is estimated that the crime will really be charged. Pressed on him.

Now this matter is really bad, and there is really no good way for Linton to solve it.You say the best way to solve this is to find the real murderer, but who is the real murderer?The owner of this fire-devouring beast is me, okay? Then why do you tell the emperor that I am the owner of the fire-devouring beast, but I didn’t want to let the dogs kill. Is this over?Obviously not possible.

"Well... so the only way now is the trial by combat?" Linton said, rubbing his chin.

"Trial by combat? You decide to use trial by combat?" the old man said in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Linton asked.

"This... is not a good idea," said the old man, "but there seems to be no other way..."

"How?" Linton asked.

"You know that the person who was injured this time is the First Prince, right, so if the trial by martial arts is really carried out, the person who sends the trial knight will be the royal person, the royal knight..." the old man said.

"Oh...it's the strongest one." Linton nodded.

"How do you look like you don't care at all, is your nephew strong?" the old man asked.

"My nephew will find a proxy, that's me," Linton said.

"So you're going to take the place of your nephew for a trial by martial arts?" The old man looked at Linton in surprise, "You're very strong?"

"It's not very strong, it's invincible in the world." Linton said with a wave of his hand.

"..." The old man looked at Linton speechlessly. Although he didn't speak, his eyes already told Linton what he meant.

"Hey, what kind of skeptical expression do you have, am I really invincible?" Linton said.

"Are you sure? The knights sent by the royal family, and according to the practice of combat trials, are generally titled knights, and the royal titled knights are all monster-level." The old man said, "I just read your spell, you There should be some strength, but compared with those geniuses, it is still far behind."

"It's the other way around, aren't they far from me?" Linton said, "Forget it, in short, I'm not afraid of the competition."

"Oh... that's fine," said the old man, "but before you die, can you teach me the magic before, or introduce your master to me."

"Gan..." Linton pressed his forehead, "It's alright, in short, it's alright to win the competition in the current situation, right?"

"Unfortunately, from my point of view, even if there is a [-] in [-] chance of winning the competition, it is still very troublesome," the old man said.

"Oh? How?" asked Linton.

"Don't you understand? This is a trial involving the royal competition. It is called a trial, but it should be called a sentence. Indeed, if you win, you will be innocent in this matter according to the law, but... Where is the face of the royal family? Do you think the royal family will give your family a good face in the future?" the old man said.

"Um..." Linton nodded, this was indeed a question.In the battle trial conducted by the royal family, of course, what everyone wants to see are the criminals who have pleaded not guilty.The face of the royal family will not go down, and of course it will bear grudges later. You little baron will have a chance to deal with you sooner or later.

If you think about it, this matter is not so simple to solve.Linton himself is not afraid, after all, Fei Lei Shen is in hand, who really wants to run to catch him, but the old, weak, sick and disabled at home have nowhere to run.Although most of the people in his family don't treat him very well, there are still many people he likes, such as Ghasain and Linton who bullied him, but he didn't want anything to happen to him.

"Actually, I suddenly thought of a way to solve your family's troubles." The old man here suddenly said.

"Huh? How?" Linton asked.

"You taught me the magic just now, and I'll tell you." The old man said.

"What can I do first, I'll see if it works," Linton said.

"Also," said the old man, "I believe you have the confidence to say that if you can defeat the royal knights, you should have some strength. If this is the case, you can indeed conduct a trial by combat. But you can't have a trial with the royal people. You can let If someone else comes to trial, it must be before the royal trial. In this way, before the royal court convicts your nephew, he has already been tried for this crime. If the trial by combat is successful, it is not guilty. Yes, the royal family can't find your nephew as the scapegoat."

"Oh?" Linton was taken aback, this is a good idea, "But can I find someone else?"

"Of course it can," said the old man. "Look at yesterday's turmoil, many people were injured, including many nobles, who have the right to bring a trial. If you let them go to your nephew to settle the account, then the time will come. Your nephew proposed a trial by combat on the spot, and then took the opportunity to settle the matter. If the final result of the trial by combat is innocent, then since your nephew is innocent, the other crimes of injury will naturally have nothing to do with him, including injury. The matter of the prince."

"So that's the case." Linton understood. He seemed to be spared, but he actually avoided hitting the royal family in the face. I have to say that Jiang is still old and hot. This old man seems to be an official or has done it before. Official, I know the situation in the officialdom.

"Is this a good way." The old man said with a smile, "If that's the case, you should also teach me the magic just now, right?"

"Yes." Linton nodded, "I can teach you, but I don't know if you can learn it, and my magic is not ordinary magic, it is completely different from the magic you have understood before. If you want to learn it, it is estimated that you have to start from scratch. It can take a lot of time to start learning.”

"Different from ordinary magic, learn from scratch?" The old man became serious. "What are you saying is true?"

"Of course." Linton nodded.

"Then I want to see it more." The old man was obviously a magic idiot, and he was even more excited when he heard this. "Come on, come home with me, and start learning immediately."

"Yes, yes, but let me ask a question first." Linton said, "Does your family... have anyone injured by demon beasts yesterday?"
