In the dragon conference hall.
In the middle of the dimly lit hall is a round table with chairs lined up outside the round table, but in the depths behind is the bottomless darkness, as if you are in a monster lair. At the top of the round table is a huge black flame-like armchair. It is more like a bed than a chair. On both sides of the edge are black barbs that bend upwards, like a The upper and lower eyelashes of a huge eye.
On this dragon chair, which is spacious enough for four or five people to lie down, there is a graceful and graceful figure lying sideways. This is a young woman in a scarlet robe, with black flowers on it, and the robe is extremely long. , dragged to the ground under the dragon chair.
This young woman looks like she is in her early twenties, or in her early thirties. She has the pure aura of a girl, her white and delicate complexion, and the charm of a mature young woman, but her half-open eyes are full of With endless golden light, with a very plain and calm indifference, it seems that nothing will disturb her, and she seems to see through everything.
Beside her dragon chair, the former old woman stood respectfully, looking down at her feet, with a humble attitude.
Sitting on the seats on both sides of the round table were figures with different postures, their whole bodies were hidden in the darkness, only the outlines of their bodies could be seen. Some of them are petite, like six or seven-year-old children, less than half a meter tall, some are burly, with two sharp black bony spurs protruding from the back, like some kind of armor, and some lie on the table like a pool of mud , extremely thin.
"Everyone." A stalwart figure at the bottom right of the dragon chair crossed his fingers, propped his elbows on the table, and rested his chin with his thumbs. His pale golden eyes slowly swept across the crowd, and said in a low voice: "This time" "Dragon Thorn Chapter" was lost and stolen, the truth has been investigated clearly, the saint "Hailisa" stole the "Dragon Thorn Chapter" and gave it to a good friend in the outer wall area, although the "Dragon Thorn Chapter" has been Recover it back, but how to rule the Holy Maiden Hailisa, the old rules, vote to decide. "
"Chichi!" A little girl less than half a meter tall giggled and said, "Patriarch, the saint Hailisa is your daughter, and she committed such a thing this time, how do you think the verdict is?" ?”
The stalwart figure glanced at her, and said indifferently: "I said, from the day Hailisa became a saint, she is no longer my daughter, but the saint of our dragon clan. She bears the burden of our dragon clan. All the hope and responsibility of rising, every word and deed, you have the right to correct."
The little girl giggled and said, "Blood is thicker than water. Although you said so, patriarch, Xiao Ni wants to hear your opinion on this matter. How do you plan to punish her? Stealing the secret technique of "Dragon Thorn Chapter" For outsiders, fortunately, it did not fall into the hands of the Yan and Yi tribes, otherwise our dragon tribe would suffer a big loss, and the hundreds of years of painstaking efforts of our ancestors would also be in vain! "
The figure of Wei An gave her a cold look, and said indifferently: "My proposal is to imprison her in the Dragon Prison and let her reflect for three years."
"Patriarch, your punishment is unrealistic, isn't it?" Another thin young figure next to him chuckled and said, "If the saint is imprisoned, who will complete the task assigned by the wall master? Our Sylvia Who will guard the giant wall's territory in the barren area?"
The little girl grinned and said: "The patriarch still loves his precious daughter. Imprisonment for self-reflection is a good way to say it. It's not so much a punishment as a protection. The dragon worms in the dragon prison don't dare to approach her and let her be there." Staying for three years is simply a blessing!"
Wei An's figure said indifferently: "I called you here this time to discuss. If you have any ideas, just say it. You don't need to discuss my point of view here. If you are not satisfied, just express your own ideas. In the end, everyone will vote and win votes." Most execution, this rule, do you want me to repeat it again?"
"The patriarch is right. What do you two say about the patriarch's words? What do you mean? Don't you just want to severely punish Hailisha?" Another figure hidden in the darkness yawned and said, "You are talking about Before the punishment, I think it's better to talk about the so-called evidence. Stealing the "Dragon Thorn Chapter" and passing it on to outsiders is a big taboo in the clan. The saint would not be ignorant of such a thing. Personally, I don't believe it. She would do such a stupid thing. "
The little girl looked at her, giggling, "What do you mean, are you doubting the investigative ability of the Dragon Guards, actually questioning the veracity of the evidence? Do you mean that someone framed our saint, who has the power to do so?" How dare you?"
"Whoever wins has courage." The figure hiding in the darkness said with a smile.
The smile on the little girl's face was slightly reduced, she glanced at him, then turned to look at the figure of Wei An, and said: "Patriarch, you can show some people the evidence, otherwise this meeting, I don't know when it will be discussed .”
The patriarch was silent for a while, and said to the old woman next to Dragon Mother: "La Ruina, tell me."
"Yes." The old woman nodded respectfully, glanced at the beautiful woman on the dragon chair next to her, took a step forward slowly, and said in a low voice: "I report to the Speakers, after investigation, on the secret skill scroll of "Dragon Thorn Chapter", there are The smell of Miss Helisa! In addition, in the reaction of the person who received the "Dragon Thorn Chapter", it was also confirmed that the one who handed him the "Dragon Thorn Chapter" secret skill scroll was none other than Miss Hailisa. "
She paused and continued: "The dragon guards we sent have investigated the identity of that person. He is a pawn sent by the monastery to the dark church in the outer wall area. The dragon guards have searched for his residence and found him from the place where he lived. A handkerchief." As he spoke, he took something out of his sleeve and handed it to the table.
It is a small children's handkerchief with purple flowers on it.
"Chi Chi!" The little girl couldn't help laughing when she saw the handkerchief.
The rest of the people all stared slightly, and recognized that this was the handkerchief that the saint used when she was a child, and it was by no means a forgery!
"After investigation, when Miss Hathaway led the dragon generals to arrest that person, Miss Hailisa also appeared on the huge wall there, and there is still Miss Hailisa's smell there, so it is not difficult It is speculated that Miss Hailisha was about to meet that person, but the dragon generals led by Miss Hathaway took the lead and arrested him." The old woman said slowly.
Everyone had different expressions, and some people had a glint of special meaning in their eyes.
"The guards stationed in the secret skill building once said that when the "Dragon Thorn Chapter" was stolen, they had seen Miss Hailisha appear there. "The old woman said in a low voice: "According to all the evidence, Miss Hailisha is the most suspected, and she cannot be shirked!" "
"Have you asked the saint about this matter?" A thin old man looked up at her.
The little girl giggled and said, "Even if I asked, she wouldn't admit it, would she?"
The old woman whispered: "I asked, Miss Hailisha said that she did not steal the "Dragon Thorn Chapter", she said that the reason why she appeared on the giant wall was because Miss Hathaway told her that stealing the "Dragon Thorn Chapter" "The person was there, so she rushed over. As for the handkerchief, she also answered, saying that it was dropped nine years ago when she left the inner wall area and sneaked to the outer wall area. "
"Let me just say it." The little girl smiled and said, "No one will admit to being caught in such a big matter."
The thin old man ignored her and continued to ask the old woman, "Does she have evidence to prove herself?"
The old woman shook her head, "No."
"The saint has always been alone and lived alone. There is no evidence to prove it. In my opinion, there are too many problems in this matter." The figure hidden in the darkness before said: "The saint also said , It was Miss Hathaway who asked her to go there. This time the matter was exposed, the saint was punished, and the person who benefited the most was Miss Hathaway. Then, why should we not doubt that this matter started from the beginning? In the end, it was all planned by Miss Hathaway?"
