Chapter 258 Accusation I
The dead silence in the Purple Jiu Hall lasted only two minutes. Except for Buffy Marshall, who was completely unprepared, the other eight lords, including Emperor Clairvaux, had already Futaba has finished digesting the 'information', and the mercury core sitting in the first place on Clairvaux's left Fernand stood up from the chair awkwardly (no mistake), looked at the Archduke of Marshall directly opposite him with flickering eyes, his hands holding the parchment were trembling...
"Controlling two members at least There is a four-digit large-scale slave-catching group, which operates more than three times almost every month. I will also hire black adventurers to cooperate with the operation, and have direct contact with more than ten large-scale bandit groups such as the notorious [Meat Mincer Group], [Miasma Group], and [Tainted Blood Group] in the empire, and the two groups united with the Holy Religion. The most wanted criminals, the Necromancer ‘The Voiceless’ Euro and the Pain Warlock ‘Ghost Fire’ Lavender, are directly related to each other. A relationship...Buffy, is what this says true?"
Fernand stuttered as he read two paragraphs, his high-pitched voice a little distorted. He was trembling like chaff, and his pair of goldfish-like brown pupils were wide open, as if he might faint at any time.
“Of course it’s not true!” Duke Marshall stood up excitedly, poked the parchment in front of him with the same content, and laughed exaggeratedly: “Two ships with thousands of people. Slave-catching group? Mine? Haha, do you think this is realistic? Not to mention why I would do such a thing, if the Marshall family has indeed controlled two unscrupulous teams for more than ten years. For a long time, they have to move several times every month. Is it possible that you can't find it? You know that the Buffy Sword Knights only have a size of 1,500 people. To be blunt, I believe everyone here. There will be detailed information and lists of the 'Buffy Sword Knights', the 'Mercury Guards' and the 'Ice Veil Wizards' in their study, right? What do you think, Archduke Fernand?"
Mercury core Fernan was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook his head in panic: "How could I have..."
"Okay, okay, this is not something shameful, my friend "Buffy shook her head with a smile and shrugged calmly: "Although we have always been united under the banner of the empire, necessary preparations and precautions are also indispensable, although this kind of thing usually doesn't happen. Let's put it on the table, but it is not a shameful thing to put some ears and eyes on each other. I also know the basic information of the Fernan Attack Team, the Lightning Brigade and the Mercury Ranger Chapter~"
Archduke Fernand smiled dryly, then shook his head and sat down: "You are right, Buffy."
"Of course I am right." Archduke Marshall calmly sorted it out He then turned to look at the orange-haired girl who was still smiling: "If Chief Xiluo is as well-informed as Archduke Fernand, then he will definitely know the specific military configuration of our Marshall Territory. If I really With frequent mobilization of manpower to do things like... ah, slave hunting, there is absolutely no reason why everyone here can't receive the news. In other words, you think that the fictitious slave catching group is actually composed of civilians without any fighting ability. Or composed of ordinary soldiers?"
Futaba shook his head slowly: "Civilians and ordinary soldiers do not have enough strength, courage and loyalty to do such a thing."
The Grand Duke of Marshall then sat back on the chair. He looked at the picture in front of him with a half-smile that had frightened him a minute ago, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "In that case, Ms. Futaba, if you are willing to admit that This thing in front of us is just a little joke, and I will be happy to forgive you for your unfounded accusations against a grand duke."
Futaba smiled: "You are stupid for dreaming."< br>
Everyone present was stunned, and then they all subconsciously looked at the girl with a small figure, delicate face, and elegant temperament.
"I'm sorry." Buffy Marshall's face became a little gloomy, and her voice gradually turned cold: "What did you just say?"
Futaba smiled again: "Silly. ~”
Including Vernon Baroka, who still didn't fully believe the Grand Duke of Marshall, and Emmeline, who had a good impression of Futaba, everyone present looked unhappy. After all, they were the top nobles of the empire like Marshall. Futaba was, at best, just the agent of a lord who was on the same level as them. He was not qualified to publicly insult a lord on such an occasion, especially in front of so many lords.
“Boom!” Marshall slammed the table and shouted loudly: “How dare you...”
“You just talked about the military configuration and dispatching issues in the territory. Right?" Futaba interrupted the other party's words with a sneer, her eyes filled with actual malice, and she shook her little hand: "Okay, then I will briefly say three points~"
The Grand Duke of Marshall snorted angrily but still gracefully: "I'm all ears, but...if you can't tell me why..."
"Okay, okay, I understand, hanging at the stake and beheading. Ling Chi is buried alive in a car, he pulls out nails and pokes eyes, whatever you like, okay~" Futaba rolled his eyes impatiently, and then extended a middle finger: "First of all, first of all, don't think that the things on this paper are... All, in fact, it can only be regarded as a highly compressed directory by this girl at best, so please be sure not to speculate on the information I have based on the above stuff, otherwise your pig kidney face will definitely be swollen to the point of explosion. ~”
Marshall's heartbeat suddenly accelerated by half a beat. He felt a slight chill on his back, as if he saw a long-planned and well-prepared plan gradually emerging.
"This leads to the second point. I know exactly where your slave-catching teams came from." Futaba calmly stretched out the middle finger of his other hand and pointed it at the person in front of him. The Archduke of Marshall shook his head: "The reason is actually very simple. Those lackeys working for you behind the scenes are indeed well-trained and highly capable elites, but they are not members of the three regular legions led by Marshall~"
The Grand Duke of Marshall clenched his fists: "Absurd! Do you think if I recruit troops on a large scale, win over those desperadoes, and secretly raise a team of thousands of people, everyone here will not notice it?" I know everyone is paying attention to each other..."
"Watch each other to see if each other is developing obscenely, of course I understand." Futaba nodded leisurely, and the two raised middle fingers were still facing each other steadily. Looking at Buffy Marshall's face: "Well, I won't lie. In fact, those slave-catching teams are members of the three legions under the command of Archduke Marshall."
Archduke Simon frowned slightly: "What you said Clearly inconsistent.”
"Yes, but if you add a 'before' to this sentence, it will be logically logical~" Futaba shook her index finger at Duke Simon, and then quickly changed her middle finger to point at Buffy Marshall again: "What I said is right, scum~"
Marshall twitched his lips: "I don't know what you are talking about."
"Okay, let's discuss you later. It's an intellectual problem." Futaba pushed up his glasses with two fingers cutely, and said loudly in an extremely cadenced tone as if he were standing on a stage reciting: "The number of this slave-catching team was very small at the beginning. But as time goes by, your three legions continue to change their blood. Those veterans who are loyal, greedy, threatened, humane, or have been manipulated leave their original army for reasons such as retirement or death. establishment, and then was transferred to a new job, and continued to serve their lord conscientiously~"
The girl finished the above words in an extremely artificial and disgusting tone, and then playfully said Buffy Marshall blinked: "Am I right?"
"Nonsense!" The latter categorically denied it and said coldly: "In the end, you are just speculating. Is it true? An absurd and specious inference can prove that the so-called 'slave-catching regiment' does exist? I am not the only one with a permanent army in the Marshall Territory. Everyone here meets those conditions, so in the end, this is nothing more. It’s just a stupid slander.”
"Don't be anxious."
Futaba shrank back as if afraid, and timidly pointed at his middle finger: "I haven't finished talking yet~"
"I I don't want to listen to your nonsense anymore." Buffy narrowed her eyes gloomily and said sternly: "Give it to me now..."
" Penelope said softly. A name was read.
Buffy frowned: "What are you talking about..."
"Roger Jorkins." Futaba ignored him and just continued to read in her crisp and sweet voice: " Oliver Kist, Dennis Bagman, Ludo Corrievi, Gramplan Malkin, Ernie Finnegan, Baro Sinista, Louie Aragog, Millicent Flint, these name Do you remember all the words? If not, I can memorize many more~"
Buffy suddenly felt a chill that made his hair stand on end, even though he didn't know who these names belonged to. , what it represents, but he knows very well that every sentence of the girl in front of him from just now is completely consistent with the facts, and it can be said that there is no error at all!
But at this moment, he could only hold on to the huge sense of crisis and pretend to be relaxed, shaking his head, and said in a deep voice: "I have no idea what you are talking about, little girl."
"Okay, then I will explain it in more detail." Futababuki He whistled and looked around. After finding that everyone was listening attentively, he cleared his throat and said loudly: "Roger Jorkins, former member of Buffy's Sword Knights, intermediate armed knight , quit riding five years ago after an anti-bandit operation due to 'relapse of old injuries' His hometown is the small town of Hamilton in the Marshall Territory. His home is at No. 17 Whitestone Avenue, Jiaoye City. However, this honorably retired knight has been returning to his hometown once every six months in the past five years. Watching his wife's weird behavior once, it's better than him in Knight He was several times busier when he was in the group, and what was very interesting was that every time he went home to see his wife, he would bring back a large amount of gold coins. The amount was far beyond what a mid-level knight could pass through any conventional channel. The income that can be obtained.”
Grand Duke Crystal Wolf blinked thoughtfully: "You mean..."
Grand Duke Dantès, who guessed the former thought, shook his head slightly: "This doesn't mean anything."
< br>"Agree." Grand Duke Hussein also Echoing, he raised his eyebrows at Futaba: "There are so many ways to make a lot of money, little girl~"
Buffy Marshall just smiled slightly and sent a group message to everyone, 'These two have already put it together. I said everything I wanted to say' look.
“Of course this doesn’t mean anything.” Futaba also smiled, her two slender white middle fingers still facing the Grand Duke Marshall’s face steadily: “But if someone like Roger Knight What if there is more than one? What if there are hundreds or thousands of such examples? What if some people who were supposed to die fighting or walking around all day were seen at various accident scenes? What if these people have several secret dens covered by the official property of the Marshall family? What if I have similar evidence? How many are there? ”
After a period of silence that was very long for Buffy Marshall...
Grand Duke Baroka was the first to raise his head from his contemplation and looked at the man with the same identity as himself with a livid complexion. middle-aged man: "If this is really the case If so, then maybe the theme of our meeting should be changed."
"Vernon, you don't really believe this little girl, do you?" The pale Archduke Marshall tried his best to say something. He laughed dryly and turned to look at the man who inherited the Baroka surname. The One-suji Knight: "Only based on her one-sided words?"
Emmeline, who had a good personal relationship with Vernon, shook her head and whispered: "If this Miss Futaba really has some control over If it's 'evidence', then her words may not be just one side. "
"Emily, young Duke Emmeline Christo!" Buffy glared at her, her grace and elegance from ten minutes ago were gone: " I thought you would be smarter!”
The latter stared at the grand duke of his uncle's generation in front of him with neither humility nor arrogance, and said solemnly: "It's just a possibility. I don't believe her, at least not until I figure out the truth of the matter!"
< br>"Okay, please be quiet."
Emperor Clairvaux, who had been silent since the confrontation between Futaba and the Archduke Marshall, stood up and gave Emmeline a tired and stern look. He gave Buffy another warning look, and finally focused on Futaba after both of them fell silent. After sighing, he picked up the parchment in front of him and slowly said: " This is the real purpose of your coming here, or the real purpose of Duke Fire Claw, right?"
Futaba smiled: "Yes"
"That's what it is. The epidemic is actually not that serious, and it has nothing to do with manpower, right?”
"Yes."
"You have been cheating on me from beginning to end, right?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Then Needless to say~”
Futaba suddenly laughed, she laughed unbridled, her branches trembling with laughter, only the two middle fingers that were firmly locked on Buffy Marshall were raised steadily in the air...
"Of course it is. In order to make this make me unhappy...Pfft, no no no~ It’s to make this angry scumbag irrecoverable~"
