Chapter 162 The Truth

Havanak's nod of confirmation caused a little uproar in the small council of only a few people.

Because Bion, Palestine and Florrick, the consultant, knew some general news in advance, they seemed relatively calm after hearing Havanak confirm that Duke Vansampel had fallen. After discussing with each other for a few words, they quickly accepted the current situation.

They are now discussing how to come up with a statement that will make other nobles and the people accept this information before the sun rises tomorrow. After all, as mentioned before, the fall of a duke is not a trivial matter that can be easily exposed. When the news is completely spread, it will inevitably cause a huge fluctuation. They must now consider how to minimize the impact of this fluctuation.

But at this moment, Ms. Liara Porter suddenly began to speak out fiercely against Havanak's accusation.

"What a joke! Saramala VanSample is a duke, and no one can accuse a duke of corruption so casually! Sheriff Havanak, I hope you understand what you are saying, this is a very serious accusation!"

The discussion was interrupted by Liara's stern questioning, and Havanak responded angrily.

"Madam Liara! I swear by the honor of the commander-in-chief of the Watcher Corps, the Supreme Security Officer of the Upper City, and the Wall Master of Baldur's Gate, I certainly know what I am talking about!"

"Although as you said, this is a very serious accusation, but these are all bloody facts! The truth has been firmly displayed in front of you. There are witnesses behind me, and my guys have already controlled the scene. If you don't believe it and want to collect evidence, you can go at any time, or do you think I will joke about such a big thing?"

"You! You have no right to do this! Who gave you and Palestine the right!"

"Who allowed you to bypass the Council of Four and act alone, who allowed you to ignore the rules and regulations of Baldur's Gate, and let you do such disrespectful things to a duke!"

However, Palestine and Havanak responded fearlessly to Liara Porter's rebuttal.

Palestine: "Duke? No! Since she completely betrayed Baldur's Gate and betrayed humanity, she is no longer worthy of the title of Duke! Everything she has done is her own fault!"

Havanak: "Also, you actually think that my behavior is a contempt for the rule of law in Baldur's Gate? Damn it! If it weren't for my respect for the judicial process of Baldur's Gate, I would never have convened a high table meeting as soon as the incident occurred, but would have chopped off her head directly on the spot!"

"Palestine! Havanak! You guys!"

"Bang!! Enough! Maybe Havanak, Palestine and Noshir did not follow the process this time, but now Baldur's Gate is in danger, and no one can deny the contributions these warriors have made to Baldur's Gate!"

"Don't you understand the situation we are facing now? Are we still like shrews here? Are you arguing endlessly? Enough! Open your eyes and look at our current situation! "

"Our real leader, Grand Duke Ravengard, has long disappeared and is now missing."

"Duke Sterme is seriously ill, and now she has no ability to bring us together again."

"And Duke Porter has stopped focusing on politics a few years ago. Ms. Liara, you have now taken over Duke Porter's responsibilities. In terms of status, you are indeed higher than all of us present, so I understand your concerns."

"But now is an extraordinary moment, and extraordinary measures must be taken! Since such a tumor has been discovered, it must not be left alone!"

Bion Wantblade slammed his fist on the table and interrupted Liara's accusation loudly. He understood why Liara was so excited, but he couldn't let her drag down Baldur's Gate at this moment!

Bion Wantblade's strength and the toughness of the other two senior figures forced Liara to calm down. She didn't expect that she was in a high position, but she couldn't get any advantage in this meeting.

Liara Portal, although she has the title of Burning Flame, and has been in charge of Fort Belurion for the past 20 years, and has been the local autonomous lord, she should be very powerful and should be able to control the situation here.

But this is not Chult, not Fort Belurion that she has always ruled, and her current identity is just a senior officer who was airdropped to Baldur's Gate.

The reason why she hurried to participate in this meeting was entirely because of the instructions of Duke Portal, who needed her to confirm and consolidate her position in this meeting. Originally, she planned to show her strength and show her true foresight and majesty in this meeting, so as to completely control the process and direction of this meeting in exchange for the respect of others.

But now the issues discussed in the meeting forced her to play the role of an unreasonable shrew, because she represented the interests of Duke Portal behind the scenes.

Although the Duke of Portal and the Duke of Van Sampler had no political alliance, as both were dukes, if Van Sampler's property could be easily ransacked today, the same fate might fall on the Duke of Portal tomorrow. As the real person in power, she had to consider this possibility.

Beorn, Havanak and Palestine, after all, the three of them are not the real supreme power. They are just a temporary team formed in the absence of real high-level leaders in Baldur's Gate. They cannot empathize with the Duke's class. , that’s why he could accept this kind of deviance so easily, which in Liara’s opinion was a serious act of deviance.

But now, if the matter is really as clear as Havanac and Bion said, then there is no point in her continuing to mess around. After all, the reason why she spoke out against it was not to offend Duke Vansample, but just Because of his class status, the Duke's attitude must be made clear.

This time may be a special situation, but she cannot allow such special situations to happen continuously. However, although Bion's words were tough before, he actually gave such a guarantee in his words.

Her goal has actually been achieved. Since she has achieved her goal, she only needs to go down this step and the meeting can continue to be held normally.

——

"Beheading first and reporting later does not mean respecting the system and process, haha...but Bion is right, now is indeed an extraordinary moment."

Liara, who was so excited that she stood up, slowly sat back down after saying this. After a short silence, she continued.

"In the name of Duke Porter, I will tolerate your disrespectful behavior this time only."

"At the same time, if things are really as clear as you say, then please provide evidence, not just witnesses. What I need is solid evidence."

Havanak sneered when he heard this.

"This will convince you, Nohill, it's time to produce the evidence you mentioned."

Nohir, who stood aside and watched a group of senior officials tearing apart each other, finally regained his sense of presence at this moment. He nodded to Havanak, and then took out the small bag from his waist. That metal box.

At this time, everyone in the hall began to look at Nohill, and Nohill also began to introduce the items in his hands.

"This is a hell mystery box, a trophy we found in the Duke's Mansion. According to the intelligence obtained during the operation, I know that although it does not record the specific crimes of Duke Vansample, it does contain information about El Tori some time ago. I believe that this is enough to prove that Duke Vansample has an affair with Hell, and the things recorded in it should also alleviate your doubts. "

As Nohir spoke, he took out the bottle of collected devil's blood, opened the bottle cap, and then slowly poured the blood inside into the rune grooves on the surface of the box.

Following a period of regular shaking, more than ten seconds later, the box suddenly made a clicking sound, and then suddenly expanded in Nuo Xi's hand, revealing some gaps, and the gaps were still emitting red light.

Nohir stepped forward and placed the box in the center of the table, and then a real magic projection suddenly began to appear in the hall.

The person in the projection is none other than the former Supreme Observer of El Toldur, Tavis Craig. He looked very young at the time. The scene in the projection was an office-like place. Young Tavis Sitting in front of the desk, a little devil squatted on a metal box on the desk, while Tavis himself was writing his crimes on a piece of golden parchment with a quill.

"I am known to the world as Tavis Craig, the High Watcher of Eltoril.

I hereby swear to my lord Zariel, Lord of Avernus of the Nine Hells, that I will always abide by the contract contained in this oath.

At this moment, at this moment, I swear my eternal submission to Zariel.

Put her above all things, regardless of life or death, until eternity.

With humility and fear, obey her for a long time and forever, throughout life and after death.

I already understand that the object that carries out punishment is called the Yang of Conspiracy, and will be called the accompanying Yang from now on.

As the supreme overseer of Eltoril and its territory, I surrender to Zariel all the land under the light of the Sun, and all those who are bound by the oath to defend Eltoril. People were also confiscated.

I further understood that this punishment will be extended for a full fifty years. When that time is up, Panyang will bring Eltoril and his sworn defenders back to where they came from... If this is what Zariel wants willing.

——————The entire appeal is my eternal oath. "

Beorn: "Tavis Craig! It's him! That bastard was the one who invited Duke Ravengardgard to meet in Eltoril some time ago! What did he say for the sake of peace between the two countries? ! This meeting was a conspiracy from beginning to end! He is the real mastermind!"

Florrick: "This thing was found in Duke Vansample's palace. It is indeed enough to prove that Vansample has an affair with the devil. If we had not discovered this conspiracy, would Baldur's Gate also suffer?" The same fate as Eltoril?”

Palestine: "Is that bastard also in the city now! Nohir, did you find that bastard Tavis when you were exploring the underground of the Duke's Palace!"

Liara: "That guy is definitely still here! No, we have to catch him! It's too dangerous to let such a dangerous person wander around Baldur's Gate!"

Havanak: "Not only that, there are other members of the Vansample family. His second son and third son are still in the city. Maybe Tavis is hiding in one of them. They must all be captured." stand up!"

The whole hall was in chaos because of this shocking information. Everyone's mind was filled with countless questions. One clue was clear, but more questions emerged. But in the end, everyone's eyes turned to Noshir.

"Please take your time. After all, I'm here and I'm not going anywhere."
