I really can't control myself

Linton could probably feel the location of the Flying Thunder God's mark. After locking the target, Linton also used it directly. After a "swish" sound, Linton appeared in a new place.

As soon as he landed, Linton was slightly stunned. Looking around, the dirty ground, small rooms, and iron bars outside make this place feel like a prison.

Looking to the side, Linton quickly saw Gasein. Of course, Gasein was looking at Linton in confusion at this time: "How...how did you get in?"

"Of course it's magic, otherwise what else can we do?" Linton said.

"Is there still this kind of magic?" Garsain asked.

"Do you know magic? Are you a magician..."

"Okay, okay... stop talking, I'm not, I don't understand." Gasein held his forehead.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Linton looked outside for a moment. It looked like this place was really a prison. There were many cells next to it, and there were many other prisoners, but no one noticed that there were so many other prisoners. a person.

"It's not you who killed me!" Garsain shouted.

"Hey? Hey, are you talking too much? I'm not here at all, okay? Can this also harm you?" Linton said.

"That pet of yours caused it," Garsain said.

"Pet? Oh... that's a deer, right?" Linton suddenly remembered that he still had a pet, "What's going on?"

Garsain quickly explained the situation briefly. At this time, it was already about thirteen days after Linton left. Just yesterday, they arrived at the imperial capital of Saint Delavan City. Of course, after arriving, the princess was separated from them. The princess had to return to the imperial city immediately. As for Garsain and the others, they had no plans. They should find a place to stay and wait for the king's summons.

But before they could start looking for a place to stay, something happened. The fire-eating beast didn't know what happened. It suddenly became a little violent and started running around on the street. After all, it was at the foot of the imperial city. A few high-ranking officials could be hit by throwing a brick. If not careful, it would He collided with a carriage, causing the horse to frighten and the entire carriage overturned.

I don't know who was in the carriage, but the people who could drive in the city must be nobles with dignity, so of course the patrolling soldiers came over when they heard the noise. When the soldiers saw the fire-eating beast, of course they immediately wanted to control the troublesome monster. The result is one can imagine. Can the fire-eating beast be caught obediently? So when it fought back, it became even more frantic.

Garsain originally wanted to stop it, but the fire-eater didn't care about him at all. Not only that, he was also regarded as the mastermind who caused the chaos, and was then sent to this prison. So Gasein and the others spent the first day in the imperial capital in prison, which was the only way they could.

"And what about the deer?" Linton asked.

"I don't know. This deer was running around everywhere. Before I could catch up, it was caught by a lot of soldiers and brought here." Gaseon said.

"So I said, what's the use of this thing? Is it going to cause so much trouble if it's just lost in the forest?" Linton said.

"You didn't force this thing on me out of nowhere and didn't know where it went!" Garsain said, "You also know that this thing doesn't listen to me at all. You should keep your pet with you."

When Linton left, he also asked the fire-eating beast to follow Garsain. After all, it couldn't be taken to other worlds. The fire-eating beast still has some IQ, so after Linton talked to it, the other party did follow Garsain. He just didn't know that he would suddenly run into a rampage after entering the city. I don't know if he is not used to humans. cities and the like.

"Have you heard the motto of our Mellow family?"

"Every time this starts...forget it, just say it." Gasein held his forehead.

"You can't blame society for your misfortune. It's obviously your own misfortune. It's none of my business." Linton said.

"God TN is unlucky, it's obviously a man-made disaster!" Garsain said, "Forget it, now is not the time to talk about this. What should we do with the current situation? If this continues, our Mellow family may be deprived of our title."

"Why?" Linton asked.

"The king must be held accountable for causing such a big commotion in the imperial capital." Gaseon said.

"Do you admit this crime?" Linton asked.

"No, no one has been here since yesterday, and no one has been interrogated. I can't help but recognize him," said Gassen.

Linton estimated that the fire-eating beast was making a lot of noise. The soldiers were probably busy catching the beast and had no time to guard the people inside.

"Then why are you so nervous since I didn't recognize you? You said you just wanted to stop the fire-eating beast, but the fire-eating beast ignored you. You were not the owner of the fire-eating beast in the first place, so you said you were just passing by and ready to do something brave. You are just a person, but you were arrested for no apparent reason, and maybe they will give you a reward for bravery," Linton said.

"Huh?" Garsain thought about it for a moment, and it seemed...it made sense. Yes, there is no evidence to prove that he is related to the fire-eating beast. Although he wanted to stop the fire-eating beast at the time, he did not say that the thing was his. And after all, this thing is indeed not his pet, but Linton's.

"If you resist, you will be severely punished. If you go home for the New Year, you will be beaten to death and you will not admit it." Linton said, "I don't believe they can still find evidence."

"The people who know about the Fire-Eating Beast are related to us. In addition to our own family members, there is also the third princess." Gasein thought for a while and said, "There should be no problem with our family members. After all, if the title is deprived of If they do, they will also suffer, but the third princess and the people of the Maple Leaf Guards..."

"Do you still want to say hello to the third princess?" Linton nodded, "Did the third princess send someone to ask about this matter?"

"There's no news either." Gasein said, "The third princess just returned to the city yesterday, and I don't know if she knows about it now."

"Well..." Linton nodded, "Okay, you stay here and I'll go outside and take a look."

"You're leaving me now?" Garsain said.

"Otherwise, what else can you do? Can I stay here with you? That means there is no hope of being released," Linton said.

There was nothing wrong with what Linton said, but Garsain was still a little panicked and said quietly: "I don't know if I can handle it."

"Carry it through?" Linton was stunned. "You mean... they will still torture you?"

"Of course," Garsain said.

Looking at Garsain, he didn't seem to have any objections to this. It seems that using torture to extract confessions is quite common in this world. Linton thought about it and felt that it was not surprising. After all, the criminal investigation methods here were very low. There was definitely no such thing as fingerprints or DNA. How could some cases be convicted? I guess the only option is torture.

"Then if he refuses to admit death, will he be beaten to death?" Linton asked.

"It's possible," said Gaseon, "but this shouldn't happen here. Generally, people with no status can be beaten to death before being convicted. After all, I can be considered a person with a title now. This case Things must come to an end."

"Then if you don't admit it even to death, you will always carry it?" Linton asked.

"Then if there is no way to prove innocence and you don't plead guilty, it will probably be a trial by combat in the end." Garsain said.

"Wait, trial by combat?" Linton asked.

"You don't even know this?" Garsain asked a little strangely.

"I've never heard of it," Linton said. "The kind of trial where you're not guilty if you win, and you die if you lose?"

Garsain briefly explained that this kind of trial by combat usually occurs in the trials of nobles. Of course, this case must be the kind of case that cannot be accurately convicted. There is no way to compete in a contest where someone has stolen something on the spot, but if you really can't be convicted and you can't prove your innocence, then you have no choice but to apply for a contest.

As I said before, the level of criminal investigation in this world is really too low. In some cases, no one can figure out whether someone is really guilty or not, so they have come up with this kind of trial method that is similar to "Leave it to God to judge." .

"Do you have to go up by yourself?" Linton asked.

"Of course you can hire someone to represent you," Gassen said.

"Isn't that invincible?" Linton said, "I will fight for you. Who can beat me?"

"You are too optimistic." Seeing that Linton really didn't know, Garsain said, "Judgement by combat is said to be judged by God, but in fact, in most cases it is just a method of execution. You know who is on the stage. Who are they generally?"

"Who is it?"

"They are usually titled knights." Gaseon said, "That is, the kind of high-level knights personally awarded by the king. They are at least star level and the best among them. Many powerful knights even use trial by combat as a kind of trial. The way to become famous is that since the birth of the law of trial by combat, only 22 people have successfully used this law to obtain innocence, and in the past ten years, there has been no one. So under normal circumstances, unless you are desperate, Otherwise, no one would choose trial by combat.”

"Oh...but so what?" Linton said.

"feed me……"

"Do you know what the master is going to teach me this time?" Linton asked.

"What is it?" Garsain asked.

"Master taught me the most powerful secret of our sect, the swordsmanship of Wei Mingliu, so I am invincible." Linton continued to open his five fingers and make a pose and said.

"Why is this sentence so familiar? You seemed to have said the same thing last time." Gasein held his forehead.

"Then did I say something wrong? Have I lost before?" Linton said, "Anyway, you can just apply for trial by combat and then just report my name. You should know that my reputation is How about it, it would be more beneficial to us if they investigate."
