Chapter 181 Ivester, I am disappointed in you (two in one)

To be honest, when Lin En suddenly saw a large group of people appearing in front of him, he was a little confused.

In his opinion, today's public inquiry should be more serious.

Unexpectedly, Senator Black led a group of people directly to the door of his prison.

The reason why Lin En made such a scene was actually to give a warning to those who wanted to murder him secretly.

That's why it looks so bloody and murderous.

Although judging from the results, the effect may be better at this moment, Lin En is actually unwilling to expose his brutal side to certain people.

For example, Eleanor, who loves to cry, is now sobbing.

Fortunately, her brother was safe and sound in the end, otherwise she would have almost fainted.

For example, Tia, who was standing on tiptoe at the back of the crowd and trying to look over, looked pale and nervous.

After meeting Lin En's eyes, even Tia herself didn't notice that a hint of relief flashed across her eyes. Then she looked away coldly, which seemed quite deliberate.

Only Yvist breathed a sigh of relief.

Not only that, when she saw Lin En's tall, muscular body covered in blood, a hint of blush appeared on her face.

I never expected that my cute and well-behaved dog would have such a wild side.

I've really grown up in every sense of the word.

The pink tongue gently swept across the corner of the lips, and a hint of heat flashed in the eyes.

Except for Ivester and her group, others, such as Princess Silina and Senator Black, showed unprecedented disbelief.

Especially the fourth prince Joshua, who looked as if he had eaten a dead fly, and his previous ease and carefreeness disappeared completely.

It was as if I had seen something from the Arabian Nights.

You know, in this world where supernatural abilities and divine factors determine everything, people's own physical strength is the most insignificant aspect, and few people will specifically hone their skills.

Most people gain power through the nature of their supernatural abilities and the enhancements brought by divine factors.

Once they abandon these, even if the evolution of their life essence makes them stronger than ordinary people, this strength is limited.

At least under the condition of restricting extraordinary abilities, even a fifth-level legend would be drowned in the back-and-forth charging of the army.

After all, two fists are no match for four hands.

This is a truth recognized by everyone.

But now, the terrifying record of one against more than thirty people was presented in front of everyone.

Even if your subconscious mind chooses not to believe it, the bloody facts are right before your eyes.

You know, judging from their physiques alone, all the prisoners who died at the hands of Lin En were muscular men.

Even if one person throws one punch at a time, it would be enough to beat someone of Lin En's physique half to death.

It was hard to imagine that they were all killed by the black-haired boy in front of them.

What kind of terrifying power is hidden in that seemingly frail body?

And where did he learn his fighting skills? For a moment, everyone was silent.

“.”

Seeing that everyone still looked as if they had seen a ghost, Lin En couldn't help but shook his head.

After making brief eye contact with Yvestre to reassure her, and casting a comforting look at Eleanor, Afia, and Tia at the back of the crowd, he jumped down from the pile of corpses.

The moment he landed, four members of the Mandated Punishers appeared at the door, ready for action. They seemed to be wary of the extremely dangerous guy in front of them.

Seeing this, Lynn couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Relax." He spread his hands helplessly, "Actually, what happened here was not what I wanted. Someone wanted to murder me."

"Also, before the congressman's questioning begins, could you let me take a shower? I'm covered in blood and it's a bit sticky and uncomfortable."

After moving to a clean interrogation room, Tia stood in the least noticeable corner of the crowd, looking a little distraught.

At this moment, her face was pale, as if she had just experienced some shock to her worldview.

A few minutes ago, when the cell door was opened, after seeing that Lin En was safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief without even realizing it.

Then Tia subconsciously turned her gaze to Xia who was standing next to her.

At this moment, everyone was in an unguarded state, and Xia didn't know that he had hypnotized Lin En and learned some inside information.

Therefore, the truest thoughts in his heart were revealed on his face very clearly.

It was an expression mixed with regret and remorse.

It was as if he was regretting why the guy didn't die in the prisoner riot in the jail.

Tia's heart instantly sank.

No matter how I tried to make amends for Brother Xia before, what happened at this moment was reflected in my eyes so vividly that it could not be explained or reversed.

The only possibility is that the guy was telling the truth when he was hypnotized.

Besides, this should be something that is taken for granted.

It's just that Tia doesn't want to face the reality.

And now, the facts were before her.

The brother Xia whom she admired, who was as dazzling and righteous as the sun, the brave man who once saved her from the abyss of despair, was actually a terrible character who would hire killers in secret.

Especially since the person the other party wanted to kill was the guy she felt extremely indebted to.

For a moment, Tia's face turned pale, and she clenched her white fingers tightly. Her slender wrist hidden under her sleeves trembled slightly, revealing her inner turmoil at the moment.

Why? Brother Xia, why you? In a corner where no one knew, Tia closed her eyes in pain.

Then she realized something again.

With the fighting power that guy just displayed, and without any supernatural powers, is it true that he is not even as good as Brother Xia in a fight?

No.

Even if he will be defeated in the end, he will never win easily, and may even end up in a situation where both sides suffer losses.

I believe anyone with a discerning eye can see this.

The tragedy that happened in the cell yesterday was entirely one-sided abuse by Brother Xia.

Tia originally thought that Xia was too strong, and Lin En had been deprived of the divine gene, so he was unable to fight back.

But now it seems that she was extremely wrong.

Brother Xia was not abusing a weaker person with unequal strength at that time, but was facing an equal opponent who was equally powerful but chose to endure it.

What on earth could make a man like him willing to be beaten like that by Brother Xia and not fight back, and even firmly guard the secret of that night? The answer is simple.

It's yourself.

For a moment, Tia was in great confusion.

She took a deep breath, trying to ease the dizziness.

"Tia, are you okay?!"

Xia was the first to notice the abnormality and subconsciously wanted to reach out to help her.

However, Tia seemed to be suddenly enraged, and shook off Xia's hand excitedly: "Don't touch me!"

The next second, after seeing the astonishment and shock in Brother Xia's eyes, she suddenly realized what she had done and shook her head in despair: "Yes, I'm sorry, I just..."

It's really bad.

I actually called out to Brother Xia subconsciously.

Tia's body swayed slightly.

In fact, this was not an overreaction on her part, but the result of suffering a series of shocks to her worldview and the collapse of her aspirations and dreams in a short period of time.

For Tia, who has lost her memory of the past twelve years, the only person she cares about is Xia.

She regarded him as her role model, and her whole world was occupied by the figure of the brave man.

But now, everything seems to have shattered like a dream.

no.

It's no longer suitable to stay here.

Feeling the various looks from the crowd, as the Saint of Silence, even though she was about to collapse, she understood that she needed to maintain the dignity of the church first.

"Senator Black, and all Your Highnesses. I just felt unwell, so I may need to leave first and return to the church to rest for a while."

After receiving nods from Councillor Black and Princess Silina, she bowed reluctantly and then hurriedly left the underground prison.

Lin En was still washing her body, and she thought it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to leave quickly.

Otherwise, who knows what will happen to upset her.

As he watched her gradually receding back, Xia seemed a little at a loss, with a hint of embarrassment and anger in his eyes.

He didn't know what was going on.

Why did Tia, who had always been around him, become so strange now? Sensing that her subordinates seemed to be in a bad mood, the eldest princess, Silina, slowly came over and whispered something to comfort them.

However, Iviste glanced at Tia's back, frowned slightly, and didn't know what she thought of.

Ten minutes later, Lin En washed herself clean and changed into new clothes.

Not only that, unexpectedly, they also recovered the items that had been confiscated from the members of the Mandated Punishers, including the witch lady's parchment and Pines' playing cards.

It seems that I have been acquitted?

There was a look of understanding in Lin En's eyes.

Now that things have developed to this point, the next direction is very obvious.

According to what Tia said yesterday, Senator Black, who represents the Imperial Parliament, will raise two challenges to him.

Although she remained silent about the second challenge, if it was just a matter of solving the case within a limited time, Lin En thought she could still give it a try.

Even though there are all kinds of resistance in the process.

With this in mind, he slowly walked into the interrogation room under the supervision of the Punisher.

"sit."

Unexpectedly, Councillor Black, who was sitting across from the interrogation table, was unexpectedly affable.

But Lin En was well aware of the irreconcilable conflict between the two forces, and it was impossible for him to easily trust the guy in front of him.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Lin En looked calm and slowly sat down.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

He glanced at Yvestre, Afia and the others without leaving a trace.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

Although Her Royal Highness was very calm and even winked slightly in response, Afia and Graya behind her seemed to be hesitant to speak.

It's as if I feel guilty about something.

Seeing this, Lin En couldn't help but frown.

However, Councillor Black on the other side of the table knocked on the table first: "Now that everyone is here, I will get to the point."

"Lynn Bartleron, I am here to represent the Imperial Parliament and announce the punishment imposed on you in the case of the limb grafter."

Lin En retracted his gaze: "You say."

Councillor Black nodded. "First of all, after a day of investigation and verification at the Mandated Punisher headquarters, we have temporarily ruled out the possibility that you are the limb grafter who committed the crime."

“.”

Of course, Lynn knew that this would not be all, and she waited quietly for what would happen next.

"Of course, it's only temporarily ruled out." Councilman Black coughed. "Your suspicion has not been completely cleared yet. Therefore, after leaving the Substitute Punisher Prison, you are not allowed to leave Glostin without special reasons. Your daily activities are also limited to the western part of the city. You need to report to the Substitute Punisher headquarters every Sunday evening."

This condition was a bit excessive, but it was within Lynn's acceptable range.

The bigger one may be yet to come.

Thinking of this, he waited silently.

After confirming that Lynn was aware of this condition, Councillor Black flipped through a few pages of the notebook in his hand and said, “Then the second point.”

"After returning to the imperial capital, His Majesty handed the Night Punisher over to the Third Prince to take care of. I'm sure you already knew this."

Lynn nodded but said nothing.

"The parliament has received a report that the Third Prince did not inquire into the specific matters within the Night Punisher and registered the entire organization under your name."

"That is to say, you are currently the acting leader of the Night Torturers."

Lynn was also very clear about this.

It’s not that Ivester was trying to shift the blame or to trick him, but she didn’t expect these people to use this as an angle to attack her.

After all, he had just returned to the imperial capital for two days, and normally there would have to be a welcoming ceremony. It was really a bit too much for the Imperial Parliament to make a fuss about this.

Of course, if it were just this, Lin En could actually accept it.

Councillor Black continued without pausing, "As the leader of the Night Torturers, after learning about the Limb Reattacher case, not only did you not lead your Night Torturers to investigate the case as soon as possible, you also had the time to attend Her Highness Silina's dinner party, and even watched the thirty-sixth case happen, causing an extremely bad impact on the people."

"This is a serious malpractice."

"The parliament is very angry and has decided to impose a small punishment on you as a warning to others."

"First, impose a fine of 50,000 gold coins on Lynn Bartleron. The money will be used to comfort the families and descendants of those who died at the hands of the limb grafter. Second, sentence him to three weeks of compulsory labor."

As Councilman Black listed the punishments one after another, Lynn gradually frowned.

It’s not that these punishments are too harsh.

It was because none of the fines hit the mark, and he even felt a little confused! The Imperial Parliament must have lost its mind to think that a fine of 50,000 and some bullshit compulsory labor could cause him any serious damage.

This is so weird.

After a moment, as Councilman Black slowly spoke out the last, painless punishment, the topic seemed to end there.

".The above is the punishment imposed by the parliament on you for your dereliction of duty. I hope you can get the Night Punisher under your control as soon as possible and solve the case as soon as possible, so as to live up to the expectations of His Majesty and the people."

The atmosphere suddenly fell into silence.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin En slowly raised his head and said, "And then? Apart from these punishments, do you have anything else to tell me?"

I thought things would go as Tia said, and I would be harassed by the Imperial Parliament and ordered to solve the case within three days.

Unexpectedly, the other party never mentioned this matter from beginning to end.

At this moment, his expression was cold.

At this point, how could Lin En not guess what had happened? He glanced at Yvesette behind Councillor Black, trying to get a response from her.

However, the other party just smiled lightly, as if he didn't care at all.

Seeing her like this, Lin En clenched his fists tightly, and a gloomy look appeared in his eyes.

At the same time, the words of Councillor Black came to my ears.

"Do you think that the punishment imposed by the parliament on you is lighter than you thought?" He gently closed the notebook in his hand and put it back in his pocket. "Yes, that is indeed the case."

"It's just that your actions in Orne City didn't offset your merits and demerits. Instead, someone paid the price for you."

"This price also includes the atrocities you committed against the Mosgra family in the Council Hall that night."

"Lynn Bartleron, this is the imperial capital of Glostin, not the border."

“Sometimes, one has to learn humility.”

As he spoke, Councilman Black finally smiled for the first time that day.

At this moment, the fangs from the Cortes family and the Imperial Parliament were finally shown.

“.”

Lynn lowered her head in silence.

As if she didn't want to see Lin En continue to struggle with this, after all, she had always been fulfilling this obligation. Yvesette opened her mouth and said, "You..."

However, before she could get the words out, Lin En's frightening look blocked her words.

Then, he suppressed the emotions surging in his chest: "So, what is the price?"

"A commission."

"A commission related to the Tomb of Heremus."

"Due to the special nature of this mausoleum, some scholars have suggested that it be stored as a high-sequence sealed object. Therefore, after a unanimous vote by the Imperial Parliament, it has been decided to entrust Her Highness Ivisette to handle this matter."

"And Her Highness agreed to this proposal yesterday."

As Councilman Black's calm words slowly fell, Lynn felt the six words "Hermes Mausoleum" constantly echoing in his mind, and his blood seemed to lose its temperature bit by bit.

At the same time, an electronic prompt sound suddenly rang in my ears.

[The plot deviation of the S-level plot character "Yvestre Roland Alexini" has been reduced to 10.07%. 】

After the questioning, everyone left.

Unexpectedly, the first person to leave the interrogation room was Lin En. He was walking in front of everyone else, with his head down and no one knew what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Eleanor behind him became a little worried and subconsciously wanted to call him.

However, this action was stopped by Ivisette.

After shaking her head, Her Royal Highness quickened her pace and came to Lin En's side, then gently held his warm hand.

"Today is the day you are released from prison, be happy."

While scratching Lynn's palm with her little finger, Yvesette took the initiative to comfort him, which was extremely rare.

On normal days, he should have been the one coaxing her.

Because Yvesette also knew that what she did would probably make Lynn angry.

However, this action not only had no effect, but even ignited the anger in his heart.

The next second, Lin En ignored everyone's gazes, tightly grasped Yvisette's slender white hand, and walked quickly towards the corridor.

"Slow down. You're hurting me!"

Yvesette frowned slightly and raised her voice.

However, Lynn turned a deaf ear to it.

Finally, after arriving at a deserted place, he could no longer hold back the emotions surging in his heart. He raised the hand holding Yvesette's and pressed it hard against the wall.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with unprecedented gloominess and anger.

"Yvesette, I am very disappointed in you."

(ps: Please vote for me!!!) I recommend this great new work, the quality is unmatched, brothers, please check it out!
