The witch thought I am a Demon God

The transaction has been completed, and Ivita and Mrs. Alice signed a long-term cooperation contract. There are two contracts in total, with each party holding one.

Ivita said curiously: "How many cities have successful coups by aristocratic factions to make the Republic of Florocana so angry?"

Mrs. Alice said worriedly: "It doesn't matter in a small city."

"The coups planned were all in several big cities. Among the top ten cities, in addition to the coup in the city of [Palvega], there were six other cities where coups had taken place, and the coups in four of them had been suppressed. .”

"These people should have made an agreement to take action together on a certain date to prevent the cities from learning of their conspiracy in advance."

"But the city councils of the tenth-ranked [Cameron] city and the seventh-ranked [Sachs] city have unilaterally declared themselves banned by the noble assembly."

"Furthermore, the newly formed Parliament of Nobles has declared that it will join the Baron Alliance headed by Viscount Winchester."

"They also declared that, for the latest period, the commercial trade in the city would be stopped, and the guild system would be abolished, and all citizens would be revoked from the city."

Lady Alice explained: "In Ambrose's spacious western territory, there are mostly cities, towns and villages, while the eastern territory is in the complex form of mountains and plains, where there are mostly baronies. It is these barons They organized themselves and formed Viscount Winchester's party."

"Fortunately, the Three Viscounts Alliance, which is responsible for guarding the eastern border of Ambrose, has been maintaining neutrality and will not join the city or Viscount Winchester."

Ivita was silent.

Because his territory is Ambrose's guardian of the west, and the third viscount is Winchester's guardian of the east.

They all guarded the key mountain passes into Ambrose from the outside world.

However, I heard Griffin say that the mountain road to the east is wider than the mountain road in his own territory, and there is a vast plain where the Three Viscounts Alliance is located, which is the most important road for the Ambrose Independent Viscount Kingdom.

Ambrose's problem is no longer a matter of one day or two.

The economic structure and even social structure of the country's east and west sides have become seriously divided.

This civil strife was already destined to happen.

Everything is ready, the only thing missing is an incompetent and heirless monarch.

And the dead current Grand Viscount, the Mortal King of Ambrose, is this person.

I just don’t know what role the old witch’s beloved disciple played in it. Is she really innocent and was framed, or is she really the murderer of the Grand Viscount?

Ivita tapped the table. "Two of the top ten cities are controlled by nobles. The council of Ambrose City should be very anxious, right?"

"Of course, and if it weren't for your help, Palvega would have been controlled by the nobles." Mrs. Alice picked up the teacup handed over by the servant and took a sip of the tea with sugar and milk, "But I think, The guild forces in those two cities will overthrow the noble council sooner or later."

Ivita didn't know much about the situation in those two cities, so she didn't comment.

Although he and Mrs. Alice have not known each other for a long time, because they have experienced common hardships, their relationship at this moment is like a year-long friendship.

Ivita nodded, "How should I say?"

Lady Alice said: "Because of the support from the Ambrose City Council and the Republic of Flocana, they will soon go to those two cities. The aristocratic councils in these two cities are originally rootless, and they are How long can it last?”

"I see." Ivita frowned. "Then Viscount Winchester is too anxious to do things."

"This sudden coup he planned seems to have strengthened his momentum, but it has made everyone in all cities feel in danger. Even neutral cities want to oppose him for this."

"However, he couldn't get much benefit from it."

"It is unlikely that cities will fully unite. After this incident, major cities may be forced to respond."

Mrs. Alice suddenly smiled and said: "Iveta, you also have to worry about yourself."

"Me?" Ivita asked strangely. "Why should I worry about myself?"

Lady Alice nodded, "Well, that's you. Even if we didn't deliberately publicize it, things can't be hidden. The Ambrose City Council and Viscount Winchester will know what happened in Palvega."

"I'm afraid you will soon be forced to make a choice between the two parties."

Ivita pursed her lips and remained silent.

In order to remain neutral, he had already ignored a letter from the Ambrose City Council and Viscount Winchester.

But at that time, he was still irrelevant, and no one would pay attention to a small role.

This time such a commotion in Palvega will probably attract the attention of both parties again. I wonder what the attitude of Ambrose's city council and Viscount Winchester will be this time.

Ivita said: "I understand. If there is nothing else, I will take the first step."

Before he left, Lady Alice suddenly said to Ivita: "Lord Ivita, there will be a public trial of traitors in Parliament tomorrow."

"The court needs thirty of the most respected and respected people in Palvega to serve as a jury to participate in the trial of traitors. You are also invited. If you agree to participate, I will send someone to inform you tomorrow. , and take you to the court of Palvega.”

Mrs. Alice said: "Of course, you can also refuse, that is your right."

"You young people are more lively."

"Tomorrow's court will bring the most powerful people from Parvega, including outsiders, big businessmen from the Noble Merchant Republic, captains from the Merchant Republic of Belisarius, and lawyers from Forocana. them."

"In addition, the main criminal Lord Prower will be tried in court."

Ivita was about to refuse. He wanted to return to Baron Moro, because God Pan had said before that there would be many big shots passing through his territory recently.

Moreover, he has to go back and take charge of the work of the territory to see if he can increase the natural magic power.

But after hearing the three major republics, Ivita became energetic.

He had heard many people talking about these three republics before, but he didn't know what the people in these three republics were like.

Since he wanted to collect laws, he naturally had to travel around the world and see everything.

"Then I can stay in this city for one more day." Ivita replied.

This is considered agreed.

Mrs. Alice was not surprised to hear that Ivita was about to leave. She just came to this city for business.

After returning at night, the servants informed Ivita that Griffin Knight and Demon Hunter Black Wolf had finally sobered up.

Ivita noticed a detail, that is, Griffin Knight woke up first, and he seemed to be refreshed after just a short sleep.

The extraordinary heart's ability to digest alcohol is indeed powerful.

After Griffin and Hei Lang sobered up, they still vaguely remembered what Ivita had taught them, so their expressions were not very good and they felt a little nervous, for fear that Ivita would continue to lecture them.

But after Iveta returned to the house, she just stayed in the main hall for a while, and didn't even look at the two people standing aside with pens and pipes straight.

Griffin Knight hesitated to speak several times, but in the end he did not speak.

Before Ivita returned to the bedroom, she threw the bag containing thirty gold pounds to Knight Griffin. Knight Griffin said in surprise: "My lord, this?"

Iveta turned her back to them and said: "Tomorrow you go to the market in Parvega, use these gold pounds to buy food, and then return to the territory with the convoy."

"From now on, our territory will use grain to pay wages."

He still remembered the curse that the Duke of the Forest placed on Ambrose, and the price of grain would definitely rise in the future.

Therefore, he wanted to purchase enough food to survive the famine years in advance.

After saying that, Iveta left here and returned to the bedroom.

The two faced each other, wondering what Iveta's attitude was, whether she was angry or not.

Griffin said to Black Wolf: "We shouldn't have drank so much yesterday."

"Next time we'll have a drink when we don't have any official business."

Black Wolf shrugged. "Yesterday it was you who got me drunk together in order to show off in front of those ladies and young ladies."

"I was still quite sober."

"I thought you could find one or two girls who were attracted to you yesterday, but I didn't expect that you got drunk later."

"No one wants to be intimate with an alcoholic. Didn't you drink for nothing?"

Griffin Knight left the place with a dark face.

Black history.

The next day, in the morning, Black Wolf and Griffin took four apprentices to the market to purchase, and then prepared to return to the territory.

And Ivita and the old witch went to the court of Parvega.

The court in Palvega was an open-air hall, which was already filled with relatively wealthy citizens who had nothing to do.

These citizens are basically middle class and even wealthy businessmen who do not need to sell their hard work and wisdom to make money.

Therefore, they were very interested in trying these traitors.

Anyway, idle is idle.

Sometimes, watching a court decision is almost like watching a drama.

Anyway, this can be considered part of public entertainment.

Ivita, on the other hand, was led by someone arranged by Mrs. Alice to where the jury was sitting.

The seat where the jury sits here looks very ordinary, with just thirty wooden benches, but there is a small table in front of each wooden bench, and there are even some simple fruits and water on it.

However, everyone in this row of seats is older, middle-aged and elderly.

It seemed strange for a young man to sit in Ivita.

When the old witch saw Ivita sitting in, she also found a chair and sat on it. The person leading the way looked embarrassed when she saw this, and stopped talking several times.

He walked around the old witch, wanting very much to say, this is not your seat.

The old witch finally raised her head and looked at him. The man leading the way showed a relaxed expression. Who knew the old witch said: "Why are you dangling in front of me? I'm not a beauty! I'm dizzy, get out of here." "

The person leading the way looked at Ivita with a troubled expression.

Ivita is also ashamed, what is the old witch doing sitting on the jury seat, and you are not invited.

At this time, the other jurors did not speak, but looked at this change curiously.

Mrs. Alice came over, noticed this, and said to the guide: "Add another stool here."

It's not a big deal.

It's just a seat.

Lady Alice didn't want any ugly conflict with Ivita, so she immediately proposed a solution.

This small matter before the trial was resolved in an instant.

Iveta secretly praised this, Mrs. Alice's ability to deal with things is still very good.

Ivita has been worried about what trouble the old witch will cause again. Except for facing herself, this guy basically goes his own way.

Fortunately, the trial started soon.

The mayor, of course, appeared as the judge of this important court. He wore a serious judge's uniform, which was overall gray and complicated and looked like a kind of cloak.

He loudly announced that the court was officially open, and everyone present stood up.

This seems to mean that everyone present respects the judge's decision.

Ivita stood up as the Romans did, and found that the old witch was still sitting there, looking around curiously, and quickly pulled her up.

Bishop Palvega, who was sitting next to the judge, stood up temporarily. You are still sitting. What's going on?

However, probably for Iveta's sake, the people around didn't say anything.

The trial process was very fast. In this era of Ambrose, the law had not yet been divided into civil law and criminal law, and the process was relatively simple.

However, due to process, these people were still hired lawyers.

The public attorney appointed by Ambrose offered almost no defense to those involved in the rebellion before pleading guilty.

So one after another people came up, and the judge immediately announced that they had betrayed Ambrose and Palvega, and then asked the jury to make some symbolic decisions, and then sentenced them to death that day.

Ivita sighed, and on the paper handed to her, she wrote her opinion on the list of all the criminals currently in court - agreeing to the death penalty.

It seems that this court is still relatively primitive, different from what I thought before coming here.

Next to him was a wealthy businessman wearing a white robe and sleeveless jacket. He had a sapphire ring and an emerald ring on his hand, and a silver brooch on his chest. When the wealthy businessman heard Ivita sigh, he said: "Disappointed?"

"That's about it in Ambrose's courts."

“Judges and lawyers are superficial, but these two parties usually are represented by city officials or even employees.”

"The jury and this court are more like witnesses."

"Look at the audience who applauded for the death penalty. Do they like the law or the excitement?"

"The right to judicial proceedings is the most primitive right of independence for all citizens, but the people in this city do not cherish this sacred right."

Iveta was stunned for a moment and said to the wealthy businessman beside her: "Excuse me, where are you from?"

"I'm from the Merchant Republic. I'm a fur trader. My name is Margo Li." Margo Li smiled and said, "But I haven't returned to my country for four years."

"I have heard of you, Lord Ivita."

"If you were in an aristocratic commercial republic, you would definitely understand the majesty of the law."

"The lawyers and the courts there are absolutely not for show."

"There, the law is the king of the republic!"

Ivita nodded.

At this time, the guards escorted Lord Proul up, but unlike the prisoners who looked defeated, Lord Proul had an evil smile on his face for some reason, as if he was about to see a good show.

Margery's face became strange when she saw the two lawyers behind Lord Prol. He whispered to Ivita: "Those are the lawyers from Frocana."

"It's really weird."

"They are such troublemakers, they even take this kind of case. Lord Ivita, just wait and see the good show."

The old witch suddenly looked up at Lord Proul and frowned, "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with that guy. There is something extra on him, and I can't tell. There is something wrong with that old man."

Lord Prower was escorted to the trial seat by the guards. He suddenly whistled and shook his head. "Why are you planning to give me the death penalty today?"

"Hahaha……"

"I'm afraid you can't give it."

The mayor, who was the judge, looked at him with a dark face. He slammed the table to silence the noisy citizens around him.

The mayor sneered. "Here, you actually talk back. I will sentence you to death immediately."

Two of Frocana's lawyers spoke. "Please wait a moment. Our Lord, our employer, has not broken Ambrose's law."

"You can't give him the death penalty."

The whole audience became noisy again.

Ivita frowned, is this okay?

Is it a plea of ​​not guilty from the very beginning?

The mayor sneered: "Three days ago, this man led the army in the city hall and wanted a coup. Many people saw it, and you still want to deny it."

"In addition, he hired assassins from the Little Brotherhood to kill people on the street."

"This is what many people have seen."

"It was even witnessed by Lord Ivita with his own eyes. Such an obvious act of treason has not violated Ambrose's law?"

Frocana's two lawyers remained calm. "We have sufficient evidence to show that Lord Prower was actually coerced into doing the above things in his name."

"This is Lord Prowl's testimony."

"We also have witnesses who can be invited to testify. They can prove that Lord Prower was coerced by Viscount Winchester and the local nobles of Palvega throughout the entire process."

"My lord is also a victim."

"He is also a sufferer!"

"Like many of the victims here, he was persecuted by the nobles. He will imitate our Lord Ivita in the future and help the city council of Parvega!"

"We have sufficient evidence to fully demonstrate that your Lordship is the victim."

After those so-called witnesses came on stage and turned the truth around.

The mayor's face turned completely dark.

Iveta didn't expect that such a thing could happen.

In the past, because the defense lawyer gave up the defense, many things could be sentenced to death immediately as long as they went through the motions.

Only when we arrived at the Lord's place, and after several twists and turns by Frocana's lawyers, did things take a turn.

The old witch chuckled. "Let me just say that Frocana's lawyers are very good."

"Last time, thanks to them, I was acquitted on the spot in court."

"Don't think they act recklessly, but in such an extremely serious case, they can only act in such an extreme way. They will treat a dead horse as a living horse, just in case it is finally explained."
