The 551st Chapter Cover up (5k)
In the silver banquet hall, when Michelle took out the second document, it was already silent. The black-haired boy sat on the seat sinking like water, while on the main seat at the end, the expression of the mother goddess was extremely stiff.
This dinner with Roja was held in her mind to bring the two closer together, but as Michelle kept speaking and throwing out evidence, the mother goddess was shaken violently, because she was the most What I am afraid of is that everything Roja has shown is a scam.
If it is just sad and sad, then it can be tolerated, but giving hope, making it think that it has regained the love of the child and depriving it, this kind of practice is unbearable for the mother god.
"Mi, Michelle..."
The fearful woman reflexively called out the name of her right-hand man, trying to stop him from the next words, but Michelle was already determined at this time.
The elf patriarch understands that if he wants to kill the hypocritical traitor in front of him, he must do his best, otherwise in the face of the indecision of the mother god, Roja is likely to escape once again. It's just as difficult as going to the sky.
Thinking of this, Michelle ignored it, opened the file in front of everyone, stared at Roja and said loudly:
"Your Excellency the King, according to our information, you and Archangel Lamia have secretly sent more than 20 private letters in the past year, and they all passed through the Savior's control area."
"Is there anything strange about that?"
Facing Michelle's accusation, the black-haired teenager asked calmly, and then said:
"The angel race is still a neutral race today. The letters I have passed through the Savior's territory do not violate any laws of the Mother Goddess. As for the secret transmission, isn't the reason in front of me?"
https://
"What do you mean?"
"The meaning is very simple."
Staring at the condescending Michelle, Roja also stood up, and his voice seemed to suppress endless anger and resentment:
"For a long time, some people have been monitoring my every move, although I know that this kind of behavior is not the original intention of the mother goddess, but this kind of monitoring really makes me very uncomfortable, so I use a special channel when writing letters. , isn't it natural?"
Hearing Roja's words, many ministers who knew that they had been monitoring the king's choice for a long time couldn't help but look away, and the mother goddess in the main seat looked at the elf patriarch on the side in surprise.
Although the mother goddess has indeed kept the intelligence department's attention on the movements of the king's elector for a long time, there has never been an order such as surveillance, let alone such a strict measure similar to the treatment of prisoners.
"Michelle? What the hell is going on here?"
"Lord Mother Goddess, I would like to state that the surveillance of Your Excellency the King Elect is not my own opinion, but because it has seriously threatened our safety, so I have to do it. The evidence is the documents and reports in my hands. ."
Under the gaze of the mother goddess, the middle-aged elf patriarch said so, took out one of the many documents and held it up high, facing the crowd with his backhand, while showing it while staring at Roja and said with a smile:
"Your Excellency the King, I'm afraid you didn't expect it. You have always been negligent."
"Negligence? Lord Michelle, I don't know what you're talking about."
"It's nothing, I just want to tell you that your letters are not completely confidential. The reason is very simple, because you have the habit of writing letters on envelopes."
When he heard Michelle say this sentence with a smile, Roja's golden pupils shrank slightly uncontrollably. Unlike the patriarchs of various races who had not yet understood, the black-haired boy had already guessed something, and Michelle then revealed the answer.
"It's convenient to put the envelope under the letter paper? You can put the letter in and send it immediately after writing, but unfortunately, this leaves part of the letter's handwriting on the envelope as a trace, which means... ...Even if we don't open the seal of the letter, we can still see some of the content through the marks."
really!
Looking at the confident Michelle on his face, Roja's heart sank to the bottom, and the mother goddess and other clan chiefs on the main seat showed a sudden look.
I have to say that in this era when espionage and intelligence departments have not yet developed vigorously, many people do not pay attention to pure physical forensics that do not require magic power, so they have no vigilance in this regard at all. Roja’s The ancestors were clearly such people.
Relying too much on the power of magic, thinking that as long as the letter is sealed with self-destruction, it is absolutely safe, but they do not know that with the simplest method, Michelle and others can see part of the content of the letter, and now they have become enemies. The most powerful weapon.
Roja, who clenched his hands tightly, maintained his face with all his strength, while Michelle on the other side became more and more aggressive. He looked at the expressionless boy and continued:
"Through our collection, we have roughly obtained some of the contents of twelve letters, including the 'Sun King' that you and Archangel Lamia talked about. In the letters, you admired him a lot. As for In this incident, what you and Lamia planned is a standard defection!"
"..."
In Michelle's loud voice, the venue couldn't help but be silent. In front of the high evidence, the patriarchs of the various clans on both sides of the table looked at Roja's eyes that were increasingly unfriendly, and the mother goddess at the front had an abnormal expression. paled.
Looking at Roja on the side, the expression on the black-haired woman's face was very stiff, as if she had not yet reacted from the shock and disappointment brought by the news, the whole person actually seemed a little rigid, for a long time.
After that, the mother goddess turned her head and asked in a hoarse voice:
"Is what he said . . . true?"
"..."
Listening to the mother goddess's gentle but sad question, as if the sadness was greater than the death of the heart, Roja's heart tightened for some reason, and suddenly felt a sense of guilt, and at the same time, his heart became anxious.
With such a tone, the black-haired boy naturally knew that the mother goddess wanted a negative answer now, but now that the evidence is conclusive, and Michelle came prepared, Roja was saddened to turn over and rashly denied it. Once refuted again, Roja's image will become a scum full of lies, and the mother goddess will probably be completely disappointed in him.
damn it! The former election king is too pitiful! What the hell...wait for it!
Roja, who was anxious in his heart, suddenly shrank his pupils, and then the expression on his face gradually changed. After thinking for a while, the black-haired boy suddenly looked at the woman on the side, and bowed slightly:
"Lord Mother Goddess, although you are probably deeply disappointed with me now, I still have to say that these things were not done by me, and I have no knowledge of them."
"What nonsense!"
Hearing Roja's words, Michelle across the table sneered, and the patriarchs of all ethnic groups present were silent, and everyone looked at the boy with distrust, just like looking at an actor with poor acting skills.
Obviously, in the face of a series of evidence, it is no longer feasible to deny it empty-handed. Even the mother goddess had a disappointed look on her face after hearing his words. However, what Roja said next made it worse. She was taken aback.
"Lord Mother Goddess, I know that it is impossible to gain your trust with words alone. In order to prove the authenticity of my words, please use the spell of checking lies on me."
"!"
When they heard Roja's words, the vast banquet hall fell silent for a moment, and everyone cast an incredible look at Roja, and the reason was very simple, because the spell of discerning lies was used on others. It's very rude behavior.
As long as you live a long time in this world, then no one can avoid lying. Some lies are more inclined to good intentions. It is unnecessary and disrespectful to distinguish them completely. Generally, such spells are only used when dealing with criminals. There is no doubt that it should not be used on king pickers.
On the other hand, the power of the spell to verify lies is different depending on the user. If it is used by the mother goddess, I am afraid that no one in the world can tell a lie, and this also means that Roja has absolute confidence.
On the main seat, the black-haired goddess widened her eyes and stared at Roja for a while, while on the opposite side of the boy, Michelle frowned deeply.
"Lord Mother Goddess, is there any problem?"
"No, no, but... do you really want me to use this spell?"
Looking at Roja, the mother goddess asked such an uneasy question, obviously hesitating about the boy's request, but Roja nodded again without fear.
Seeing this, the mother goddess gradually became firm after hesitating for a while, and Michelle, who was opposite, didn't know what to say. The elf patriarch, who was confident in his investigation results, did not think that Roja could pass the lie detector, but the young man did not know what to say. The candid attitude made him feel uneasy.
But in any case, after Roja accepted and the mother god agreed, no one could influence the ceremony, and as the mantra boiled, the figure of the woman with black hair and golden eyes was also changing, and her jet-black hair turned into Silver white, and the pupils also shone with crimson brilliance. In just a short moment, the image of the mother goddess has changed greatly, and her body is also floating in the air.
Seeing the mother goddess like this, Roja's mind reflexively appeared like Alyssa, and after incarnating as the master of Yinyue, the atmosphere around the mother goddess seemed to be a little colder, looking at the boy's eyes There was a little more oppression, and in the light of the spell, she asked a question faintly.
"Roja, answer my question, did you write the letter Michel said before?"
"No, the letter of surrender that Lord Michele said was not written by me, and I don't even know its content."
"!"
As soon as the boy's voice fell, the floating woman was startled, and then she trembled with excitement, because the mother goddess could be sure that what entered her ears at this time was not a lie, but the absolute truth, and Or supplemented to eliminate all possible truths.
The mother god's question was whether the letter was written by Roja, but the young man added that he didn't even know the content, which eliminated a series of possibilities such as ghostwriting by others, and the attitude can be said to be quite sincere.
"It's the truth."
With such a conclusion, the woman with silver hair and red eyes showed a rare smile, and all the guests were shocked, and then they became extremely confused.
The letter was not written by the elector, but who wrote it? Is it forgery?
The ministers who thought so turned their attention to the Highland Elf Patriarch at the front of the table, causing the situation in the venue to reverse for a while. Of course, Michelle could not admit this result anyway.
"Impossible! Lord Mother Goddess, we have compared and verified these handwritings, and we can be absolutely sure that they were written by the king chooser. This matter is absolutely true, and all the personnel of the intelligence department can testify for me! I am willing to my Loyalty oath!"
Facing everyone's questioning gazes, Michelle's face was already flushed. He stretched out his hand to caress his chest, asserting his innocence with all his might. Hearing the words that bet on his own quality and the numerous witnesses, everyone present also All doubts were dispelled.
For a time, the patriarchs of various clans began to wander about who was lying between the two.
In theory, it is impossible for both parties, but if you think about it carefully, it seems that everyone has a chance. For example, Michelle gave up the [Loyalty] Origin Quality, or Roja had some ulterior motives to escape the lie detector.
Such a thought made everyone hold their breaths and simply waited for the judgment of the mother goddess. On the main seat, the woman with silver hair and red eyes was also caught in a tangle. She first looked at the minister on the left, who had been loyal to her for a long time. , and looked to the right, the child that he had always loved the most in his heart, was suffering for a while.
No matter who lied among the two, it was a serious blow to the mother goddess, and from past experience, it was Roja who deceived her more than likely.
Looking at the young man not far away, the mother goddess's red pupils flashed a lot of complicated emotions, but in the end she didn't say anything, just silently fell back on the seat, her hair color and pupil color gradually returned to normal.
"Lord Mother Goddess?"
"Sit down... don't talk about these things anymore."
As if feeling tired, the mother goddess said this with a low tone, and hearing such an order, both Roja and Michelle could only sit back in their seats, but the mood of the two was completely different. different.
Looking at Roja, who was safe and sound on the opposite side, the elf patriarch clenched his fists tightly, obviously unwilling to this result, while on the other side, looking at the mother goddess who bowed his head in a depressed mood, Roja did not have much joy in escaping death in his heart, Instead, there was an inexplicable sense of guilt in his heart.
Denying these accusations and saving his life is undoubtedly right, and there is no need for any guilt, but the look of the mother goddess who looked at him just now made Roja a little uncomfortable.
It was a feeling that it seemed to have guessed something, but gave up the investigation in order to protect Roa, and in fact the mother goddess did take this matter over.
Picking up the utensils again, the black-haired woman started to eat silently, and seeing the mother goddess's actions, many ministers present immediately followed and started to taste the food again, disguising what kind of discussion, the banquet hall was full of , but everyone is already absent-minded.
In the second half of the whole banquet, neither Roja nor the enemy on the opposite side spoke again. Both of them knew that attacking each other again would cause the mother goddess to be unhappy. Seeing this situation, the patriarchs of all clans could only beat the drums wildly. End in this whitewashing peace.
After the dinner, the patriarchs of the various clans ran away immediately, and Michele also gave Roja a cold glance and left, the black-haired boy was unmoved by this, but just when he wanted to walk out of the door, a waiter But he suddenly walked to his side and whispered such news.
"Lord Roja, please stay, the Mother Goddess wants to see you."
-------------------------------------------------- -------------
At the top of the tower, between the thrones, the woman with black hair and golden eyes stared at the many cities in the night outside the floor-to-ceiling windows without saying a word, while behind her, the black-haired boy stood silently, following her gaze. out the window.
After getting news from the waiter and following him here, Roja immediately found the mother goddess standing by the window, but the mother goddess who made him come did not speak to him immediately, but looked out the window and wondered. What, seeing this situation, the guilty Roja didn't know how to speak, so he could only stand stupidly with him.
Fortunately, many of the races under the mother goddess are haunted at night, so some of the city clusters outside the window are quite lively, diverting some of Roja's attention, otherwise the black-haired teenager may feel the air is extremely depressing.
In this appreciation, Roja's mood gradually calmed down, and after an unknown time, the voice of the mother god finally came.
"Starting tomorrow, I'm leaving here."
"Hey?"
Hearing the sudden announcement of the mother goddess, the black-haired boy who was admiring the night scene couldn't help but froze for a moment, and looked to the side suspiciously.
"Mother God, what do you mean..."
"You have seen it when I brought you here, the war has already begun."
"..."
At the reminder of the mother god, the black-haired boy opened his eyes slightly, and fell into silence for a while, but his heart was quietly vigilant.
The start of the war is not good news for Roja. Let’s not talk about the peace era. In the life-and-death environment of war, the value of him who can change the strength of the two sides will continue to rise, and the purpose of the mother goddess is also ready to be revealed. .
Are you trying to force me to choose a position? Or let me follow her, forcibly tied to the chariot? Or is it... obliteration?
Thinking of these possible Roja's faces gradually became solemn, staring at the back in front of him and waiting for the mother god's order, and at the same time prepared for self-mutilation.
The seal of the Mother Goddess is indeed strong, and Roja must be difficult to break free for a while, but using Shia's blessing of [Life to Death] may not be without the possibility of success.
The young man who had prepared in every way thought about waiting quietly, but what he didn't expect was that after a long silence, the mother goddess who turned her back to him let out a sigh, she turned around, golden pupils There was no calculation, but the reluctance and nostalgia for separation, and then said something that surprised Roja.
"...I decided, you stay."
