Dawn of the Grey Tower

Even when playing against the fake baron, Lothar didn't feel so ... absurd. That's right, when he heard the other party proclaiming his alleged crimes and the king's command to execute him, the Earl of Montenegro felt like he heard an extremely difficult joke. But this joke made him unable to laugh anyway, not even bending the corners of his mouth pretendingly.

"Your Excellency Harold, do you know what you are talking about?" Rosa did not call the other party's title, but called the blood axe grandfather's name, showing that he was really upset by this inexplicable situation.

The executioner Grand Duke did not rush to respond to Lothar's question. He knelt on one knee and took a black silk from his arms. The silk was carefully folded and the edges were embroidered with gold thread with very complicated patterns. Harold III unfolded this piece of silk and spread it on the ground in front of him. Anyone familiar with the execution style of the executioner family knows that this piece of silk has a name that is extremely inconsistent with its appearance, the executioner's shroud.

"Of course I know what I'm talking about, the kid of the Montenegrin family. And I also believe that you know that I never joke. So, why don't we all let the other party save something? You kneel down here and I will answer You have three questions, and pass on your last words to your family or friends. So the corpsemaker can relax while repairing your corpse. And you can still sleep with your ancestors. "

The executioner's words were clear. If Lothar did not accept the verdict, he might die less decently. Both the black soldiers behind Harold and the Kingdom Guards surrounded by three people have drawn their weapons at them.

"I asked the king to try." Losa did not go to ask him what crime he committed was serious enough to be executed immediately. He knew that Grand Duke Blood Axe was only the executor of the judgment. Even if Harold himself was unwilling, he had to execute the king's order. In this case, Lothar could only think of using the method of pre-king to delay time.

As for the specifics of the pre-kings trial. In fact, it is easy to explain that just like every death penalty in a territory is tried before the lord to which he belongs, every noble loyal to the secular king has the right to be tried before the king and defend himself. This is to prevent some power ministers from falsely preaching the will of the king, and it is also a kind of protection for the nobility. The king must show tolerance, so as long as it is not a felony such as treason, the nobles tried in the pre-king trials will not be sentenced to death.

"Very reasonable request." The executioner Grand Duke sighed, "But since your majesty asked me to bring this axe, you should know that he did not want to see you."

The axe in Harold's mouth refers to the weapon he just put aside. This weapon, forged to decapitate the nobility, serves as the emblem of the blood axe family and is one of the few weapons in the entire kingdom that cannot be used without the command of the king. A decree is recorded in the code of the Cangshi Kingdom, and the members of the Harold family holding the blood axe have the same rights as the king during the execution of his target.

Grand Duke Blood Axe got up from the ground, looked at Lothar held by Jack, and said.

"Losa, I know you grew up next to your majesty, but if you think you can escape the trial by relying on this ... then you are too small to see your majesty. It should be one of those three questions. I I can tell you that Your Majesty handed over the task to me in person, and he told me that he was very disappointed with you. "

The Earl of Montenegro, who had been seriously injured, heard this sentence, and he spit out a bit of blood in a sweet throat! For Lothar, although he did not bluntly thank the King Cangshi, he always respected the King as his own father in his heart. But now, Harold actually told him that it was the king who ordered him to be executed! How could this not let Lothar excited.

"Cough, I don't understand. What I did will disappoint him. I have been working hard for this kingdom ..." Lothar asked spitting out the blood left in his throat. His voice was much weaker than before.

Harold III looked at Lothar's eyes with some pity. Even if he is indifferent, he has to admit that the madman from Montenegro, a nickname belonging to Lothar, has a high reputation in the aristocracy. Although the nobles would criticize his enthusiasm for war every time he mentioned Lothar, they also have to admit that it is precisely because Lothar and his bear hunters that the law and order of the Cangshi Kingdom can be so stable in recent years .

"This is the second question." The executioner shook his head gently, and said, "The most important one of the accusations against you is that you took the soldiers and evacuated your stationed Montenegrin leader. Although we know that this is justifiable , But it is an indisputable fact that you violated His Majesty ’s orders. "

Hearing this, Lothar's face was extremely puzzled.

"What? But I received an order from His Majesty before I evacuated the army ..."

The Earl's words were not finished, but the cheese patted him on the shoulder at the same time, and said at the same time.

"It seems a bit misunderstood."

The mage's words aroused Harold's dissatisfaction. He didn't know what the gray-robed young man was in front of him. But he can be sure that the cheese is by no means the noble of the Cangshi Kingdom. So he rebuked.

"There is no place for you to talk, young man."

In response, the cheese just tilted his head, he continued.

"Although I am not familiar with the laws of Cangshi. But I think even this remote kingdom can allow glory to judge?"

After the mage said this, everyone, including the soldiers present, froze. Without him, the term glorious judgment is rarely mentioned, just like this judgment situation.

Unlike the pre-king trial, the glorious trial is a trial situation that appeared earlier in the human capital, and this trial was once described by other intelligent races as the most brutal trial situation. However, it may be based on the memory of past history. Even though it has been almost unused, this trial situation has been written into the laws of human countries as a kind of symbol.

The content of the glorious trial is simple, when all laws and rulings consider a person guilty. If the person still believes in his innocence ~ www.readwn.com ~ he can ask his friends or blood relatives as representatives to confront the arbitrator sent by the king. As long as the representative person defeats the arbitrator in the battle, he is acquitted. But one thing is that there can only be one representative. The number and equipment of arbitrators are determined by the local lord or king, that is, there is no upper limit.

"Boy, I do n’t know what you have to do with the Earl of Montenegro. But I want to warn you that the order to execute the Earl of Montenegro was given by His Majesty the King. I promise in the name of the blood axe of the Cangshi Kingdom, if you are going to conduct a glorious trial , You are going to be an enemy of all the warriors of the Cangshi Kingdom here. "Harold III's expression is very serious. From the conversation of the cheese just now, he already knows that this gray robe is not from Cangshi, but he thinks that the cheese is only A young man who knows nothing about it.

The mage put the hood down on his head and looked around at the lion soldiers around him. It is said that there are dozens of these guards with lion helmets, and even hundreds of them are not impossible. Compared with their bright armor and sharp weapons in their hands, whether it is a robe on a cheese or a Jack The coarse cloths and clothes are so weak.

But even so, the cheese still took two steps forward, looked at the executioner in front of him with no fear, and showed an unwilling smile, said.

"so what?"
