The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 126's

For the sake of this water jade smuggling operation, the Debs clan had paid a very high price. Bernard orders his third brother to take responsibility for this affair, and the Lanseer brothers are the right and left hand men of his brother.

Standing in the middle of the meeting room, Linley remained calm. The Shadowmouse, Bebe, was also quietly standing on Linley's shoulder.

The man and the magical beast just stood there as if nothing had happened, silently watching everything. Although he saw the pleading display that Bernard had trained on him, Linley did not react in the slightest.

After a while…

The sound of heavy chains could be heard. Two golden-haired men in shackles entered the meeting room, under the escort of the palace guards. These two men were shackled by feet and hands as well. Just by judging from the thickness of those iron-footed feet, the shackles must have weighed one or two hundred pounds.

Such heavy shackles were used decisively to unite those fighters with powerful strength.

"Leader of the Milord clan. ”

Upon entering the discussion room and seeing Bernard kneeling on the ground, strange smiles appeared on their faces. They actually called Bernard with respect.

Standing to the side, Linley understood.

Most likely these Lanseer brothers were the two main leaders in the smuggling operation who most likely had secret relations with the Debs clan.

"Klan Debs will be in trouble now. "Linley just silently watched.

Looking at the two shackled golden-haired men, Bernard reacted with confusion. "Eh? Lanseer and Langmuir [Lan'mu'er], why are you two imprisoned by His Majesty? Didn't I give you two 100,000 gold coins a few months ago and tell you to go enjoy life? "

The two golden-haired men were startled for a moment, then they laughed.

"Leader of the Milord clan, are you kidding?" Lanseer laughs.

Next to him, Langmuir chuckled as well. "What, clan lord leader, do you still think that you can lie and hide? Forget . You may also admit your mistakes. ”

An expression of anger appeared on Bernard's face. He suddenly got up, looking at Lanseer and Langmuir angrily. "Lanseer, Langmuir, my Debs clan has raised you and cultivated you since you were a child. You both should know very well how I've treated you. ”

“That's right, you've treated us very well. But the two of us have also risked our lives for the Debs clan for many years now. “Boy brother, Lanseer, said coldly.

Bernard's anger grew. With trembling hands, he pointed to Lanseer's brother. "You two completely forgot about help and violated justice. True, you two have been working on behalf of the Debs clan for so many years now, but all along, you have been acting corrupt to obtain the money belonging to the clan. After that incident half a year ago, considering that you two have been working for us for so long, you know, I saved your life and even gave you 100,000 Gold Coins and told you to go home and enjoy your life. But ... But you ... Not only are you not grateful, you have now participated in smuggling? And after being caught, you desecrated the Debs clan? "

Lanseer and Langmuir were completely off guard, and they looked at Bernard in confusion.

"We ... are we corrupt? You ... You gave us 100,000 gold coins? ”Lanseer and Langmuir were completely flabbergasted.

Bernard's anger exploded, he suddenly turned around and knelt in front of Clayde. His tears streamed to the ground, he said, "Your Majesty, these two are nothing more than a pair of insatiable wolves. When they were young, I saw that they were two pitiful orphans and I took them, and then gave them an important position. But they only acted to shovel the wealth of my clan into their own pockets. Even so, given the years of affection between us, I saved their lives and even gave them 100,000 gold coins. This could be considered very kind and generous to me. But now? Now they actually came here to desecrate and frame my Debs clan. They want to destroy the Debs clan! How cruel! Your Majesty, my heart is broken. Heart's broken!"

Seeing Bernard's pitiful cry, many nobles in the meeting hall did indeed begin to wonder if Lanseer and Langmuir were actually framing the Debs clan.

"Bernard, you .. you ..." Lanseer and Langmuir were so angry that their faces turned red, but they could not say a word.

How many had these two brothers sacrificed for the Debs clan?

They were even willing to get involved in clan smuggling, precisely because they were both not afraid of death. If not for the fact that this time, the bid from King Clayde was too attractive, they would not have betrayed the Debs clan.

But everything Bernard said was now wrong!

"Oh? Is there an event like this? "Clayde glanced at Bernard.

Clayde could sense that Bernard was ready, for otherwise he would not have suddenly come up with all these lies. If he were to investigate it, it was likely that he would not be able to find any flaws.

"Hrmphs. It was a pity that Third Brother Bernard jumped into the river. We couldn't even find the body. Otherwise, with Third Brother in front of him, Bernard would have said nothing. "Clayde was furious.

Water jade smuggling.

The water jade mine was part of the kingdom's national wealth. That said, it was part of Clayde's fortune.

Illegal mining and water smuggling means stealing from him, Clayde. Of course, Clayde would feel very angry.

But Bernard's third brother had jumped into the river to commit suicide, while Bernard seemed ready for Lanseer and Langmuir's betrayal.

"Bernard, I will not unjustly accuse an innocent man. "Clayde said solemnly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! ”Bernard's face filled with tears.

But Clayde announced coldly, “However, I will also not forgive someone who has betrayed the interests of his kingdom. Based on the intelligence I have, it seems that the person in charge of this smuggling operation is your Third Brother. ”

"My third brother?" Bernard looked at Clayde doubtfully.

Clayde looked at Bernard coldly. "What, you got something to say?"

A wounded expression on his face, Bernard said, “Of course I know. Your Excellency, I really don't know why you said what you just said, but over a year ago, I'm afraid, My Third Brother left the Fenlai Kingdom and started doing tour training tours to various other countries. A few days ago, he sent us a letter. ”

Clayde's gaze was getting colder.

His men personally reported that while they were in the process of capturing third brother Bernard that the man, who was being seriously injured, had chosen to throw himself into the river. They couldn't find any trace of him.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You must give justice! "

Bernard stared intently at Lanseer and Langmuir. “You cannot believe the lies of these two despicable men and cast aspirations in the hearts of clans loyal to the kingdom. ”

"Bernard, you! You are! ”The angry and anxious Lanseer brothers do not know what to say.

Clayde suddenly got up, looking at Bernard coldly. “I have already said that I will not unjustly accuse an innocent person, or forgive a person who has betrayed the interests of his kingdom. Based on the evidence I have, there is at least a suspicion that your Debs clan has betrayed the kingdom. The guard! "

Bernard's face changed. "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I am loyal and loyal to the Kingdom! ”

"Bernards. "Clayde smiled at Bernard.

Bernard lifted his head, staring at Clayde with a pity, as if he were a child looking at his parents.

"Whether your clan is loyal or not is a question that will only be solved with evidence. I'll give you a chance. I'm not going to exterminate your clan immediately. ”

In his heart, Bernard heaved a sigh of relief. What he feared the most was that the Debs clan would soon be annihilated. “Luckily, I found the ashes and the remains inside the secret room. It gave me a chance to prepare. ”Since that day, Bernard has been preparing. He had actually made some level of preparation.

"Guard, escort Bernard and the successor of the Debs clan to Blackwater Prison. As for the case involving the Debs clan smuggling operation, let Right Premier Merritt [Mei'li'te] investigate. "Government Clayde.

Soon, the two guards took Bernard away.

"Your Majesty! I believe in His Majesty's wisdom! "Bernard called Clayde, even when dragged.

That night, Greenleaf Street became a very energetic place.

Footsteps and screaming did not decrease. Hundreds of knights directly surrounded the house of the Debs clan, which frightened all the members of the Debs clan present.

"What are you doing? What the hell are you doing? Do you know where this place is? ”Second grandfather Kalan, second uncle Bernard, immediately shouted to the palace guards.

The leader of the knights said coldly, "Do you dare to defy His Majesty's orders?"

But this second grandfather only raised his head proudly. "His Majesty's Government? Who knows if you mistakenly claimed that you got an order from His Majesty? Talk up! What do you want?"

"Second grandfather, what's going on outside?"

Now, many members of the Debs clan had rushed over.

Even Alice and Rowling had already dressed and rushed over. In the Yulan continent, after the engagement ceremony, the fiancee usually begins to live with her fiance. But generally speaking, only after the wedding ceremony would the two of them enter their bridal room.

Sure oes…

There are also cases of people sharing a room before the wedding, as long as both are willing.

"Sister Alice, what's going on outside?" Rowling held Alice's hand.

Alice was confused too. "I'm not sure. ”

The hundreds of people in the Debs clan residence all flowed out, and most of them looked perplexed. Only the core members of the clan who knew the truth about the smuggling operation began to feel fear.

This Debs clan smuggling operation is of a very large scale.

Just to carry out the operation, they had used several tens of millions of gold coins. If they succeeded, the profit would be several hundred million gold coins. What the mind of the Debs clan elder, was once enough.

But it looks like this one operation proved problematic.

"Sister Kalan, what's going on?" Rowling asked Kalan as well.

Kalan shook his head, showing he did not know.

The palace knight army had gathered outside the manor. Their leader, the knight captain, after seeing so many members of the Debs clan present, pulled the command tablet from his clothes, shouting in a bright voice, "His Majesty ordered that, since the Debs clan was suspected of being involved in water stone smuggling, the leader of the Debs clan as well as his successor had to be immediately imprisoned in Blackwater Prison. ”

Instantly, the faces of every member of the Debs clan changed.

The faces of the core members of the Debs clan turned increasingly pale, even paler. But Alice, Rowling, and the rest of the clan were simply astonished and confused.

A few guards stepped forward and grabbed Kalan.

"Take him away!"

The leader of the knights shouted.

At this moment, Kalan felt as if his limbs were already soft. He let the guards march towards the gate. But as soon as he reached the gate, he suddenly woke up and, turning his head, frantically called out, "Second Grandfather, Alice, you two must save me, must save me!"

Letting Kalan scream as much as he wanted, the palace guards emotionlessly escorted him to the prison.

Alice, Rowling, and the other members of the Debs clan could only watch as Kalan was taken away, unable to help. Their clan was very strong, right, but how could they fight against the king?

By the next morning, news that the Debs clan was allegedly involved in water jade smuggling had spread throughout the circle of the nobles of Fenlai City. Many of Fenlai's nobles paid special attention to the matter.

What's more, the case is being handled personally by the Royal Right Premier of Fenlai, Duke Merritt.

Inside Duke Merritt's palace.

Lord Duke Merritt was already over seventy years old, but as a strong enough warrior, he looked as if he was only in his mid-life. Her golden short hair was slippery and shiny.

Currently, Duke Merritt was sitting on a chair. He casually turned his gaze on his guest from the Debs clan – granduncle Kalan's second, Nimitz [Ni'mi'si].

"Lord Merritt, our clan must have been unjustly accused. I hope, sir, that you will become only for our clan. ”

As he spoke, Nimitz took out a book from his side. "Lord Merritt, I know you love collecting scriptures. This sacred manuscript was issued by the Radiant Church more than three thousand years ago. That's a little rare. ”

"Oh, the scriptures?"

Merritt accepted it casually, but as he flipped through it, Merritt suddenly realized that inside the courtyard, there was a flat card. Flat cards produced by the Golden Bank of the Four Kingdoms. Magicrystal card!

A smiley look appeared on Merritt's face.

Nimitz carefully observed Merritt's reaction. Merritt closed the scripture, placed it to the side, then smiled. "Nimitz, you should know that apart from the scriptures, I'm also a fan of sculptures. A while ago, when I saw 'Awakening From the Dream', I really liked it. During your clan's engagement ceremony, I saw it was Alice. Oh, he looks a lot like the person on the statue. I wonder .. if it is possible for me to have a private chat with Alice. ”
