Chapter 353: Confession

Andoleka slowly raised his head and looked at Ethan who was sitting opposite him.

At this moment, his heart was extremely complicated. He knew that humans would never let a half-orc like him live, but he still had a glimmer of luck for the man in front of him.

Because the great swordsman's ruling method was extremely gentle, and he was a real pragmatist.

This can be seen from the fact that he silently solved the sanitation problem that lasted for hundreds of years.

In fact, he solved more than just a sanitation problem.

Although he was just a small pharmacy owner, he could clearly feel the various changes in Maro since he took office.

The streets became clean and no longer had the stinking smell of the past.

I heard that some sewers would be built for civilians to discharge domestic sewage.

Prices also became stable. After he sent several speculators to jail, there was no more arbitrary price gouging.

Public security also became better, whether it was theft or robbery, there were fewer.

To be honest, the security team was also much fairer than before, at least there was no such thing as protection money.

The most important point is that he tried to resolve the conflict between nobles and civilians.

The abolition of many noble privileges has prevented the casual killing of civilians on the streets in Maro City.

All this shows that he is indeed loyal to the civilians.

And such a person is naturally worthy of the trust of the civilians.

Of course, he is not a human, nor a human civilian.

But he wants to be a human, and wants to be a civilian under the rule of such a leader.

Andoleka wants to, very much, and dreams of becoming an ordinary civilian in Maro City.

The civilians in Maro City after the change.

He looked at Ethan with red eyes and asked with a sob: "Can I trust you?"

The people who accompanied Ethan in the interrogation were stunned by this.

This half-orc has not spoken once since he entered the prison, and he has not uttered a groan even when he was severely tortured.

But now he actually spoke on his own initiative.

And from the meaning of his words, he already has the intention to confess.

The Great Sword Saint is really amazing. He didn't say anything, but just sat there, and this stubborn alien actually spoke on his own initiative.

Ethan was also moved. He had followed the rules for a long time and had been frustrated for a long time, but he finally earned a good reputation.

It was also his good reputation that easily opened the mouth of the orc.

Otherwise, imagine if a person who knew he was going to die would speak?

Of course, although the other party had spoken, there was still a long way to go before he was willing to confess.

Ethan was very clear about this.

He also knew that if he just made a promise to the other party, it might not necessarily make the other party confess.

Therefore, he smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter whether you trust me or not.

But I want to tell you that when I encounter a problem, I prefer to solve it from the root.

Based on my understanding of your tribe, I noticed that you are more inclined to orcs.

And you almost always work for orcs.

But you look more like humans, but you have never considered leaning towards humans.

I think the fundamental reason for this problem is that humans cannot accept you. If you appear among humans, you will definitely die.

But among orcs, although your treatment is not very good, at least you can survive.

In other words, if this root problem is not solved, neither us nor you will have peace.

For me, I don't really care about your life or death, nor the life or death of your wife and children.

I only care about the inclination of your tribe.

Now, I will give you two Choose.

First, you keep talking tough, I will use my own method to find all the orcs lurking in Maro City, and then kill them all.

Second, tell me what I want to know. I want to have a good chat with your person in charge, and then we can work together to find a way to completely solve the current dilemma facing both of us.

So, you choose!

However, before that, I want to remind you.

I am very busy, my wife is about to give birth, and there are a lot of things waiting for me to do.

The parliament also has a lot of things waiting for me to deal with. I can come here because I want to do something, but I can't come all the time.

I don't have time to waste here with you. If you can't make a decision immediately, I promise you that I will never appear here in the future.

And your decision will also determine the fate of the orc tribe. "

Andoleka fell into silence immediately.

He didn't expect the other party to be so big.

At this moment, he was struggling inside.

He wanted to agree, but he was afraid that Ethan was just talking nonsense about the situation and eventually hurt everyone.

But if he didn't agree, it seemed that there was no way out.

For a moment, he was stunned.

The entire interrogation room was strangely quiet.

Ethan did not disturb the other party's thinking, but just sat there quietly waiting.

Of course, although he gave the other party a chance, he could not wait forever.

About 5 minutes later, Ethan saw that the other party was still hesitating to make a decision, so he pressed his hands on his knees and slowly stood up.

Then he walked towards the door without saying a word.

When the others saw him, they naturally followed him quietly.

One of the prison officers saw that Ethan was about to leave, so he trotted in front of Ethan and opened the door for him.

Ethan smiled at the prison officer to express his gratitude, and then walked out of the door firmly.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the door, he stopped abruptly.

Because...

"Our leader is Madam Champs-Elysees!" Seeing that Ethan was about to leave, Andoleka's anxious voice came from behind.

When they heard Madam Champs-Elysees, most of the people present changed their faces, and they looked as ugly as they could be.

Papalia, who came with them, had a face that was so gloomy that it could condense water.

Who is Madam Champs-Elysees?

The widow of a count.

However, she has a nickname: "Public Lover of Maro"!

The most famous lady in Maro City.

In fact, her name is not limited to Maro City, even the imperial capital has her legend.

It is conceivable how many people have slept with her brother!

When Ethan heard this name, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

Then he slowly turned his head and said calmly: "Thank you! You have won a little right to live for your race."

After that, he continued to move forward.

The prison officers also hurried to follow.

When they arrived at a place far away from the interrogation room, the prison officer who had just opened the door for Ethan asked with a worried look on his face:

"Lord Ethan, are you really going to release those orcs?"

Ethan did not answer this question. Now he did not trust anyone.

And he knew that the other party did not care about the orcs at all, so he was even more reluctant to talk about his true thoughts.

He just ordered: "Keep an eye on him and don't let him get into trouble.

Then let him explain everything he knew.

In addition, their wives and children are still detained separately, but they are allowed to see each other every day,"

After saying that, Ethan walked quickly out of the prison.

As soon as he got on the carriage, Ethan ordered Embiid to find the sheriff and ask them to arrest the Lady of Champs-Elysees.

Why let the sheriff go instead of sending his own people?

Of course, it's because the sheriff belongs to the parliament, which is public, and his own people belong to him.

How do you know if Lady of Champs-Elysees is a master at that time? What if she hurts his own people?

Of course, if she is really a master, if it really doesn't work, he should take action himself, and he still has to take action.
