Besides, the reason she is currently bestowing all kinds of favors on Diaz and me is to control me and make me contribute to the upcoming big event. Oh, I'll do my best. Anyway, my life has always been lived for various people. So, living for Her Highness Isabella for a short period of time is not a big deal...what's wrong with that?" Corneille felt that Melusina seemed to be looking at him with displeasure, but through the veil, he could not judge her mood from her expression. "Mr. Corneille, you belong only to Dias, and here, men should be loyal," said Melusina. "?" After a few seconds, Corneille realized that Melusina was probably imagining him selling his body and fooling around with other witches, and he burst out laughing. Melusina's excessive fantasies and excessive concern, or rather, her gentle desire to control and preach, made him slightly unhappy, but they were friends and he could use her, so he chose to tolerate it. "If that prince wants to keep a lover, there are many better choices than me. And I will not marry a woman who cannot bring help to Dias, or who threatens Dias more than the benefits." Cornelius said calmly: "In addition, even good friends will each start their own families, taking most of their energy away from friendship and investing it in family time. Diaz and I weren’t always together, so to say it was ‘only for him’ is neither accurate nor appropriate to describe our friendship.”
In Melusina's perception, Corneille was very cold at the moment, so cold that she lost the courage to continue speaking. She nodded silently, returned to her room, and secretly vowed that if her good student asked her for a potion to make an unrequited love come true, she would do her best to make a potion that could melt Corneille's cold thoughts. Corneille wrote a letter to Isabella, dropping salt water on it to express his gratitude. Isabella replied the next day, hypocritically expressing her willingness to mediate the conflict between him and the Count of Marseille. At the end of the letter, she attached the address and asked Corneille to take the black double-headed eagle brooch in the envelope as a token of trust and contact the other party. On the afternoon of June 6, Melusina used teleportation magic to bring Corneille to her destination, the Balance Palace next to the Merida Court, which was also the headquarters of the "Judgment" field. Because it was adjacent to the Supreme Court, Corneille stopped and watched for a while, hoping to "catch" Dr. Cecil. Unfortunately, he only saw Count Marseille and an unfamiliar witch. Count Marseille saw his expression change, and Corneille appeared in the Libra Palace with a swagger, representing the episode that Count Marseille disliked the most- Corneille's rapidly rising military value attracted more forces to join the game and also forced Isabella to make a choice. Despite this, he still came over gracefully and extended his hand to Corneille. Although it was only a low-probability event, Corneille was worried about Count Marseille's extraordinary abilities, so he asked Melusina to put a pure love shield on him in advance. He shook hands with Count Marseille, but the magic was not triggered and their hands separated as soon as they touched. "I was going to write you a poem," said the Count of Marseilles. "I'm afraid you're not going to write it now." "No, I'm already writing it, and I'm about three-fifths done." "Is it hatred that makes you do that?" Corneille laughed. "No, it's too stupid for people at our level to act based on our emotions. Just because we are enemies now doesn't mean we will be enemies in the future," said Count Marseille. "With Mr. Don Rodick here, I'm afraid it will be difficult." "I didn't see Count Don Rodick, but a serial killer and a crazy woman." Count Marseille said: "I have to admit that the sounding of the death knell has reduced my chances of winning from 90% to around 70%, but in order to be safe, I am willing to eliminate the last 30% of hidden dangers:
You can take her out as No. 96. We will stop all hostile actions and give you certain compensation - it's not that I admit that she is Tang Rodick, but I want to return to the Federation with a clean resume. If I continue to fight with you here, I will suffer greater losses. I am a republican, and in the context of the confrontation between the royalists and the Triple Alliance, we were destined to be opponents sometimes and allies sometimes. Why go to bat for a dead hero?" "If it's for profit, I might betray him. The one standing before you now is a warrior." Corneille gestured to say goodbye: "Don't act like a big shot and play a grand narrative. Now, you are just a 'Mr. Congressman'. Let us end this story in Waite." Chapter 81 Judicial Transactions Corneille walked into the Libra Palace. The security procedures here were meticulous, and they even specially arranged male employees to check the more private parts. The reason they are super sensitive is because the realm of "judgment" played a big role in expelling the former realm of "justice". After Sabina led the remnants to establish the "White Order", she launched three terrorist attacks on Merida, two of which were aimed at the Libra Palace. Therefore, the number of witches in the Libra Palace is beyond imagination, and they all wear strange costumes: They wear helmets, but the helmets do not cover the entire face, exposing the nose and the part below, and each of them has flaming red lips; They wore grey leather armor, but the leather armor was made into a corset style, and the area that should have been protected was only a black dress with lace pleats; Their hems were shorter than the average length of Waite's dresses, and covering their legs were garters made of an unknown material that shone like a mirror but was unexpectedly soft. Corneille couldn't figure out what this kind of defense could protect against. It looked more like a hobby. Then, he used his subjective feelings to evaluate the opponent's strength and found that there was a very obvious gap: There is a group of people whose strength should not be underestimated, while there is another group that makes him wonder whether there are too many people entering this field through backdoors. The witch who received Corneille was dressed similarly to her colleagues in the hall, but her uniform had a golden scepter pattern and seven diagonal cross stars. The former represents that she is the branch of the scepter in the field of "Judgment", and the latter represents that she has a record of seven kills (witch criminals). "Josephine K. During working hours, please address me as Ms. K." The witch introduced herself like this and welcomed Corneille with special etiquette: she sprinkled a bunch of grapes with salt, put them in ice cream, and handed them to Corneille. Corneille ate without hesitation, followed by a slice of cured ham and a small glass of wine. After he finished all of these, K took Corneille to his office. The office maintains a barrier of up to five layers. K explained that if the barrier was less than five layers, Sabina would be "sanctioned" the moment she touched her. Of course, the five-layer barrier cannot ensure that the witches can survive the hands of the former King of the Forest, it only allows the victims to sound the alarm. "Let's talk about the terms. I want to keep Dr. Cecile, Cecile Claudia Galen," said Corneille. "Okay, there are two things you need to do." "I only ask one thing of you." "Her Highness Isabella acted as an intermediary and guaranteed your integrity, which enabled us to have basic trust in you. This is the basis of cooperation, so you owe her a favor. Now, through a deal, she's transferring the favor to us to end our investigation into her tax evasion." Gao Naiyi raised his eyebrows: "Can you find out more about the King of the Forest?"
"Normally not, but that's another issue." K said: "Taking into account the matter of Ms. Galen, I think we can make two requests of you." "If I can do that." "The first is that after the fall of the King of the Forest in the World, chaos is inevitable before a new king is chosen. I hope you can assist us in maintaining law and order as our temporary employee." "Contract," said Corneille. "Please write down in detail what will be done, the limit of violence, the target and the scope of collateral damage in the contract." "The contract has been drafted. You can read it later and sign it after confirming that it is correct." K said: "The second thing is that I hope you can help investigate the 'Imperial Power Killer'." "?!" "Her Highness Isabella is a foreigner, and even once was a man, but she is now a king of the forest, and a suspected murder plan against her is something we cannot ignore." "The clues are already there. According to Count Don Rodic's memory, the person who framed him was related to the 'Imperial Killer' plan," said Corneille. K shook his head: "Mr. Corneille, you must first prove that No. 96 is indeed Rodrigo Don Rodic, then her memory can be accepted as a clue." "So, what do you need me to do?" "Some investigations are illegal for us to conduct, but since you have the 'emperor's privilege' and are a foreigner, you can do whatever you want," K said. "Wait, the 'Emperor's Privilege' is a continuing protection order?" “Because it can only be used once a year, it is generally believed that those who are protected by the ‘Emperor’s Privilege’ are very close to Her Highness Isabella. No one wants to offend that princess. After all, she is... like a teenage girl, unpredictable. " Corneille thought to herself that the low EQ version was that Isabella was an oversized bombshell whose actions were driven by her emotions but who possessed great power. If you mess with this kind of person, the consequences will be unimaginable unless you are prepared to kill her. Nevertheless, after the contract was finalized in the Libra Palace, Corneille, grateful (for Isabella's help) but very cautious (for her teaching of Dias), wrote another letter of thanks. Perhaps because she felt that she had a favor to offer, Isabella threw aside her politeness and reserve and asked him and Diaz to come to her country villa and not to break the contract. In order to keep it secret, they still used Melusina's teleportation magic (Corneille recharged her teleportation times) to teleport directly to the country villa, where a noble from Heches had been waiting for a long time. Isabella herself announced that she would stay in the palace because of the weather. After a few hours, she knocked her head in annoyance, remembering that she seemed to have invited guests today, and sent someone to inform Corneille and the others. In the past few hours, Diaz has reached an agreement with the noble of Hequese, who is also an ally introduced by Isbella, and both parties are excited. Dias was excited because he felt that Don Rodick's suffering was about to end, while the other party was excited because he wanted to completely put an end to Count Marseille in Waite. "It turns out that the struggle between nobles can be carried out in this way." Diaz's eyes were stained by the gloomy sky and turned gray: "No, when I was kicked out of the house, I should have thought that there is no family affection in the struggle for power." He turned to look at Corneille: "Otherwise, the one who is with me now is not Pierre." "You're wrong, Diaz."
"I'm not surprised at all that Pierre said that. Don't worry, I won't bother you with such boring questions as 'I and that woman fell into the water, who would you save first?'" Diaz said: "I just hope that you can be a neutral spectator, and when we decide the winner, the winner will naturally come with the loser's blood to share the victory with you." Corneille said with some sadness: "Dias, there won't be such a day, I promise. This world... this world is more beautiful than you think." On June 6, the "Trial" field took over Dr. Cecil's case. After Cecil agreed to give up part of his ill-gotten gains and threw in a few scapegoats to take the blame, the "Trial" field announced that it had reached a legal deal with Dr. Cecil. Cecile went to the Supreme Court to close the case with a proud look on her face, and hugged Dias and Corneille who came to greet her. "What about me?" Melusina pointed at herself. Cecil was a little disdainful: "You are neither a handsome guy nor a strong man, what is there to hug?" Melusina kicked Cecil's butt and whispered, "I'm glad you're back." "Okay, you dare to kick my butt, wait and see how I deal with you!" After Cecil made the threat, he looked at Dias: “As much as I want to say, I’m going to take a month’s paid leave to heal my heart that has been hurt by the endless complaints. But you spent so much effort to protect me, not just to let me rest." Dias nodded: "Aunt Cecil, Mr. Don Rodick is in a very bad condition. Please listen to Pierre for details. I have an appointment with the new guard officer today." "Where are the original dog-men?" "A lot has happened, doctor," said Corneille. The foursome disbanded, and Melusina accompanied Dias to meet the new guard officer, who was also from the Gray Claw clan and was asked by Polly to take over the shift. Corneille took the doctor's private carriage back to the university town, describing in detail what had happened in the past few days. After listening to him, the doctor asked a question: "Corneille, are you sure that Mr. Don Rodic's memory has not been tampered with?" Chapter 82 Plan "There are also doubts in his account, but that is a secondary issue." Corneille said: "First, we have to help him win the 'resurrection match', give him a legal identity, help him partially complete his revenge, and then explore his memory." "What if the enemy uses this to accuse him of being a fake? Would that be a potential danger?" "This may make Mr. Tang Luodick sad and angry, but it will not affect the overall situation." "Corneille, are you hiding something from me?" asked Cecil. "The doctor is the one. How many things have you hidden from me?" The two looked at each other in silence. When the carriage reached the destination, Cecil went into the bathroom without waiting for Corneille to move. He said angrily, "If you dare to peek, I will castrate you." "First, the doctor does not have the power to castrate me; second, the doctor does not have the charm to seduce me into voyeurism." Corneille's calm answer earned him a piece of soap thrown at him. The doctor packed up her things and headed for the forest. On the way, she asked, "Is Ingrid reliable?"
