I Like This Dream!

An Xu didn't quite understand what the plot was about.

She felt that she was doing pretty well. If Chris wanted to go to the teleportation room, she would take him there. Although her attempt to be cool by setting off a map cannon on the road failed—somehow, the spiritual core mutated again and turned into a stingy person who only eats without vomiting—but she wisely maintained her image and successfully led Ke Rhys made it all the way to his destination. The knight destroyed the ground with his big sword, and the alien beasts stopped popping out. They teamed up to clean up the map, and cleared the dungeon at dawn. The NPCs who handed out rewards, the Royal Knights, arrived.

Things go wrong from here.

It was fine that no reward was given on the spot. After the Royal Knights confirmed their identities, they actually wanted to take Chris away as if they were launching an army to accuse them.

"Why take him away?" An Xu asked, standing in front of them. After the battle, she stretched out her hands that were shrunk in her sleeves, wondering if these soldiers were also part of the group that needed to be brushed off.

"Sir Sullivan," the team leader said seriously, "The Knights of the Wind were involved in the sinner Ronald's conspiracy. Chris, the leader of the branch, is more likely to be the culprit who put the alien beasts into Urburg. We were ordered to capture the escaped The rebels, please don’t stop me.”

"If he let the alien beasts in, why would he destroy the teleportation array and clean up the alien beasts everywhere?" An Xu said rudely, "Is he stupid or are you stupid?"

"If this person is unjustly accused, he will be cleared after the trial." The other party continued to say in an official tone.

This sentence did not convince An Xu at all. It was Chris who convinced her. He stopped An Xu before she could not help but take action.

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Sullivan." He said calmly, "Please let me go with them. I think the court will give everyone justice."

The knight's comforting eyes with a bit of worry persuaded An Xu, making her feel that maybe things should develop like this, just like every heroic story that suppresses first and then rises, destroying it will do bad things. Anyway, when it comes to court, if you are not satisfied with the verdict, you can always fight again, An Xu thought.

She patiently went back and saw Caleb, who was running back from the chaos, and Flora and Lydia, who were lucky enough to be safe and sound. Caleb cried and said it's great that you are back and everything is safe. I was so worried that I didn't think about food or tea. Fortunately, I didn't lay on her chest and moan like a child. This person who is good at observing words and emotions keenly felt that his boss had a different kind of indifference.

The criminal Ronald escaped without a trace. In order to avoid causing more turmoil, all the conspirators met on the night of the Black Beast Rebellion demanded to be executed on the spot. Therefore, Chris, the leader of the Knights of the Wind, was the most valuable among the conspirators captured alive. of that. After several days of private interrogation, he will undergo a public trial by the nobles at the Ulburg Court.

The day of the public trial soon came.

The Sullivans had a seat of some importance in the court, and to Ansu its best feature was its proximity to the dock. She supported her head to endure the opening speech that she was not listening to at all (the king spoke a few words angrily, the prime minister calmly rapped a few words, and the official said a few lines). When the person under trial was brought in, she sat upright in her seat. .

Chris was wearing a yellowed prison uniform, the blood stains had been cleaned off, and the shackles on his hands and feet looked familiar, they were the chains of divine punishment. There was a flurry of murmurs as he walked in, and Ansu wasn't the only one whose attention was drawn. The knight in distress did not cast a glance at the whispering people, but stood in the dock and saluted the judge and the king.

"Sinner Chris Field." the officer said, "Are you a subordinate of Ronald the Conspirator and the branch leader of the Knights of the Wind?"

"Yes." Chris replied.

Caleb explained to Anxu in a low voice that there were three real superpowers in the court, one standing next to the king, one standing next to the jury, and the remaining one was the prosecutor himself. Thanks to these human polygraph machines, interrogations don't have to become lengthy or bloody; when it comes to the public trial part, it's basically just a formality.

"Do you know the disobedience of Ronald the Conspirator?"

"Yes."

"When did Ronald the Conspirator begin planning this appalling evil?"

"I have no idea."

"So, when did you know about this?"

"Earlier this year. I just didn't know he was going to do it."

"You don't know?" the officer asked sternly, "Did you personally participate in the arrangement of the teleportation array from the Wengaro defense line to Uburg, causing the beast tide to spread in Uburg?"

"Yes," Chris said, "but I didn't know about it beforehand."

Richard II snorted coldly, and the courtiers beside him immediately screamed: "Omega, do you think this can shirk your unforgivable crime!"

"That's 'Yes Man' Ford," Caleb whispered in Anxu's ear. "The supernatural power is a jester with emotional resonance. He has no title or actual position, but what he says often represents the king's meaning."

"I didn't think so." The knight replied calmly, "But I really don't know about the plan to put the alien beasts into Urburg, and the adjutant and I are the only two people in the Knights of the Wind who know that the conspirator Ronald has some disloyalty. The other members of the group knew nothing about this and did not participate in the rebellion."

"You only need to answer 'yes' or 'no'." The officer frowned and glanced at him, "Chris Field, attracted strange beasts to invade the royal capital, causing His Majesty the King and many nobles to be offended, and the palace to be damaged. Hundreds of people died due to the beast wave, can you plead guilty?"

Chris' facial lines were tense, and Anxu felt like he was clenching his teeth. For the first time since the trial began, a shadow of pain appeared in his eyes, and he said dryly: "Yes."

"The whereabouts of the traitor Ronald are still unknown. Do you know where he has gone?"

"have no idea."

"Do you know anything about Ronald the Conspirator's subsequent plans?"

"have no idea."

The official nodded, solemnly took out a roll of parchment, and said, "Then, if there is no objection..."

"Wait a minute!"

The head of the Pulan family stood up. Her face was haggard, more than ten years older than her previous proud look. She saluted the king and asked Chris: "Where are your accomplices? Where are your accomplices who caused all this?"

"My adjutant," Chris paused, "as far as I know, she died on the night of the beast wave. I don't know where the traitor Ronald went."

"Really? What about the others?" Viscount Plan asked excitedly, glaring pointedly at the jury box opposite, and then quickly turned to the king, "Your Majesty! When the Royal Knights found this sinner, Sullivan Count Anna is with him!"

Anxu, who was sitting there and was shot inexplicably, looked up at them.

Pairs of eyes were focused on her. Anxu showed no fear of being noticed by important people including the king, and still leaned on his seat without a posture. Caleb tugged at the hem of her clothes under the table. She glanced at him inexplicably and snatched the hem of her clothes back.

"Sinner Chris Field," the officer coughed dryly, "Why did you go with Lady Count Anna that night?"

"We met by chance on the road," Chris said.

"Is your lordship related to the plan of the traitor Ronald?"

"No."

"It seems that Count Anna has nothing to do with this matter..."

"Objection!" Viscount Plan interrupted, "Chris Field, what is your relationship with Anna Sullivan?"

"not related."

The one I knew was just "Ann," Chris said in his mind.

The true power is not invulnerable. The only thing it can judge is whether the other party is lying. As for concealment, and the secret substitution of concepts that I believe in, they are not within the scope of judging the true power.

"Then why did you want to save an unknown person from the tide of beasts you brought?" Viscount Pulan said aggressively.

"I have no intention of saving her." Chris said, "Miss Sullivan has powerful powers and we just happened to meet. Without her, the teleportation array in the palace teleportation room would not have been closed in such a short period of time."

This is the best way to get Ann out, and what Chris said is not a lie. His purpose was to close the teleportation array, and he never expected to meet An; and after meeting An, he had already chosen the former between destroying the teleportation array and protecting An. In this case, Ann selflessly helped Chris and rushed to the dangerous teleportation room with him. Her heroic deeds should not be stigmatized by the accusation of being associated with treacherous men.

Chris didn't turn to look at Ann's face. He acted very calmly, as if he was talking about a stranger who was not worth mentioning. Now that the royal court would not let him go, nor the innocent Knights of the Wind, this was the only thing he could do.

An Xu looked at Chris in the dock and didn't know what he was feeling.

None of the human lie detectors called out, which shows that Chris is telling the truth. Even though she already knew that "this Chris is not that Chris", she was still a little frustrated when this Chris said he had no relationship with her. Anxu formed a team with this knight, and after all they had played together, they could finally have a temporary comrade-in-arms relationship, right? What's more, Anxu was trying every chance to gain her favor along the way. Using animal metaphors as an analogy, she felt like she just had to do the mating dance in front of Chris. However, it was of no use.

Moreover, didn't Chris intend to save her before? So what happened to the expression at that time? An Xu felt a little confused and a bit embarrassed.

She was distracted for a long time and missed Viscount Plan's insistence, the king's final decision, and the malicious snickers of other nobles. When he came to his senses again, it was already time to pronounce the verdict.

"The sinner Chris Field's crime is unquestionable and unforgivable!" the prosecutor said, "But His Majesty the King is merciful and thinks that the treacherous Ronald is acting absurdly, and the sinner Chris, as an omega, is weak and ignorant by nature. Avoid the death penalty and change it to..."

An Xu didn't understand the last word because there was a burst of laughter in the courtroom. Noises were not allowed in the court, but the nobles laughed so loudly, probably because Ford, the king's microphone, was laughing so hard - you see, the king also thought this was something worth laughing about.

"Change it to what?" Anxu asked Caleb, and Caleb repeated it with a stiff face. It was a very uncommon and elegant word. She frowned and asked Caleb to explain plainly.

"Working for the army." Caleb said with a wooden face, "It means being sent to the army as a prostitute."

At this time, the laughter has subsided. The nobles are educated people after all. This strange thing that an omega became the leader of the knights, participated in the rebellion, and finally received the punishment he deserved and returned to his rightful place is not in good taste. Hall. The impartial judge cleared his throat and continued: "The brave and fearless Count Anna destroyed the teleportation array and saved Ulburg from danger. Here, His Majesty the King rewards..."

There was a crackling sound, and as soon as the brave Count Anna finished listening to Caleb's explanation, she fell from her seat without being able to sit firmly.

"I don't want any other reward!" She stood up, pointed at the criminal in the dock, and shouted in a tone that could be called a scream, "Give him to me!"
