Master of Thermodynamics
Chapter 374: Turn your hand into the cloud
Baron Manisco looked at Renault suspiciously:
"Your Excellency Renault, after we got the crossbow arrows, we checked it many times, and even hired some of the most skilled blacksmiths. After careful inspection, we didn't find any difference in the materials of the arrow clusters..."
Renault snorted:
"Baron Manisco, the processing and manufacturing of weapons is an extremely rigorous science. Even if the raw materials used are exactly the same and the processing methods are different, the final product must be very different."
"In the eyes of true insiders, this tiny difference is as obvious as the stars in the night..."
Manisko was choked and speechless.
The meaning of Renault's words is very obvious: you and the master blacksmith you are looking for are very laymen, with poor vision, and there is no difference between them.
However, Manisco’s city palace is quite deep. Although he was ridiculed in public, he remained calm, without a trace of shame on his face, he said humbly:
"That's it, Lord Renault, it seems that you are not only a powerful wind superhero, but also a master blacksmith with amazing skills. Can you show us what is the difference between the arrow clusters?"
Renault glanced at Manisco and dropped four words:
"as you wish!"
Renault is well aware of the nature of people like Manisco. Don't look at this guy who behaves very submissively at this time. If he can't produce strong evidence, Manisco will immediately transform into the most ferocious dog, biting desperately. Yourself.
He turned to Grumm behind him and said:
"Go get 10 crossbow arrows..."
Grum nodded and left the meeting room quickly.
When entering the Duke’s castle, according to the rules, they all unloaded their weapons, so Grumm had to take a crossbow bolt and had to go alone.
Baron Manisco was taken aback:
"Your Excellency Renault, I also have a crossbow arrow here from the scene of the assassination of Baron Maher. It can be used as a comparison..."
Renault shook his head and rejected him:
"A crossbow arrow is too few to see the characteristics of the crossbow arrow manufactured by the Haichao Chamber of Commerce."
At this moment, another noble with thick eyebrows and eyes suddenly interjected:
"Your Excellency Renault is right. It is more appropriate to bring a few more crossbow arrows. The crossbow arrows provided by Baron Manisco may be imitations..."
The "counterfeit" rhetoric is definitely deliberately spilling dirty water, which is clearly a tactic of drawing money from the bottom of the tank.
Who knows if the crossbow arrow you took out at the beginning really came from the scene of the death of the Knights of the Earl of Nordrad? What if you secretly found someone to build it?
This is also looking for a way out for Renault. If Renault's proof fails, you can use the excuse of "counterfeit" to argue.
What's more interesting is that, regardless of the result of the identification, Renault can beat him back, slander Baron Manisco for imitating the crossbow arrows and frame Renault.
Renault sighed secretly when he heard it, it was so vicious...
The person who came up with this method is really shameless...
He also noticed that the nobleman who said "the crossbow arrow is a counterfeit" seemed to be standing next to Miss Alietti just now, that is to say, this is probably her instruction.
With Renault's understanding of the black-bellied girl Arrietty, this idea must come from her little head.
As for why she spoke through the mouth of other nobles, the reason is very simple. She is the granddaughter of the Duke, who cares about her own image and naturally can't save face and do such despicable things.
After trying to understand this, Renault couldn't help but slapped his lips.
Tsk tsk, this little girl looks pretty and lovely, but she didn't expect there to be more bad water in her belly than anyone else...
It seems that I have found a very good ally. In terms of conspiracy and trickery, it is estimated that not many people are her opponents...
This time Baron Manisco could no longer remain calm, he said angrily:
"Mr. Stuart, your Excellency the Duke said just now that if there is not enough evidence, any wild speculation is slander..."
At this moment, a pleasant female voice suddenly sounded:
"Baron Manisco, my grandfather's original words are,'Any wild speculation is slander before the investigation results come out. Please don't tamper with grandfather's words at will..."
It was Arrietty's voice.
There was an instant chuckle in the conference room, and even the Duke of Castro himself touched his beard, and a faint smile appeared on his old face.
Baron Manisko's face flushed red, and if it wasn't for important things to do, I believe he must turn around and go, as far as he can go.
Despite the hostile relationship between the two parties, Renault could not help but sympathize with Baron Manisco.
This Nima slapped her face too hard. As soon as she finished speaking with her front foot, someone slapped her back foot on her face, seamlessly connecting, without even giving you time to breathe.
Originally, Baron Manisco had a clear upper hand, but after a few words from Alietti, many people actually had a strange illusion that "Baron Manisco was the one at a loss."
His experience fully shows that it is absolutely a headache to be stared at by the cunning and witty little girl like Alietti.
Fortunately, Grum's return rescued Baron Manisco from the huge embarrassment, and everyone's attention immediately focused on the crossbow bolt he was holding.
Renault stared at Baron Manisco and said with a smile:
"Baron Manisco, please allow me to cut open the crossbow bolt you provided."
Baron Manisco said quickly:
"Your Excellency Renault, please..."
Arrietty took a step closer, looked at Renault flickering in her beautiful eyes, and asked softly:
"Your Excellency Renault, are you going to cut off the crossbow arrows? What kind of tools do you need? I can get you..."
Renault took the 10 crossbow arrows in Grum's hand, and took the crossbow arrows brought by Baron Manisco from the wooden box, and smiled without raising his head:
"Miss Alietti, thank you for your kindness, I don't need any tools..."
The Duke in the crowd glanced at his granddaughter with thoughtful eyes.
Renault stretched out a finger, approached the cluster of crossbow arrows, and said confidently:
"Because the power of the wind element itself is the sharpest weapon..."
As soon as the word "weapon" was uttered, a clear wave of magic energy appeared on his finger.
Standing next to the Duke, Vasilite, the extraordinary, instinctively stepped forward and stood in front of the Duke.
When the nobles in the conference room heard the "power of the wind element", their faces appeared expectant. Although many people present were knowledgeable, they had never seen the extraordinary display the extraordinary power of the wind element. Can you be curious?
The room was so quiet that needles fell, and everyone was watching Renault.
Renault's fingers quickly passed between the 11 clusters of arrows, and the screaming sound instantly sounded.
"Ziz...Ziz...Ziz..."
The sound was extremely harsh, and it was so unpleasant that people could not wait to cover their ears. The nobleman beside Renault hurriedly backed away, trying to stay away from the source of his noise.
After 2 seconds, the screaming suddenly disappeared.
Renault said indifferently:
"All right!"
The nobles looked at Renault inexplicably, and didn't understand what the lord had done, because the crossbow arrows in his hand were still very intact, and no change could be seen.
Renault shook his wrist slightly, and the 11 arrow clusters suddenly broke away from the wooden shaft, plummeted, and landed on the carpeted floor.
"Boom boom..."
The nobles immediately shifted their sights and locked the cluster of arrows on the ground.
The next moment, there was a neat gasp from the crowd, everyone was dumbfounded.
I saw that 11 clusters of arrows were all broken into two halves, and the sections were as clean as new, as if they had been cut apart by the sharpest blade in the world.
After witnessing all this, they didn't know where, just now, the powerful wind element supernatural master, actually used the power of the wind element with his bare hands to split all the arrow clusters into two.
Renault stepped back, pointed the broken arrow cluster with his right finger, and said loudly:
"As you can see, the arrow cluster manufactured by the Haichao Chamber of Commerce has a neat and dense cross section, while the arrow cluster provided by Baron Manisco has a large number of small holes in the cross section."
After a pause, he looked around and made noises:
"So I said, the texture of the arrow clusters is different!"
Baron Manisco showed incredible expression, he rushed forward, picked up a few clusters of arrows that had been split, and checked it over and over several times, his face gradually turning gray.
Others also gathered around, vying for the arrow clusters on the ground.
Almost in an instant, the arrow clusters were swept away. Those who snatched them were happy, while those who didn't **** them looked at the arrow clusters in other people's hands with envious faces.
This is a cluster of arrows broken open by an extraordinary person of the wind element with his bare hands. It is definitely a very good souvenir and collection. You can show it to your own guests in the future and brag about what you have seen today.
Behind Renault, Grum's eyes widened in shock, and then he realized something and hung his head quickly, not wanting others to see his expression.
He can use his own head as a guarantee. The crossbow arrow that Baron Manisco took out is definitely his own. But why does it become like this after it is cut open?
Did Lord Lord quietly replace the crossbow arrows?
This is impossible, in full view, it is absolutely impossible to drop the crossbow without being noticed.
So, what did Lord Lord move?
However, Grumm was surprised, his head lowering was still a bit slower, which was clearly seen by Miss Alietti.
The black-bellied girl swallowed, her eyes spinning back and forth between Renault and Arrowhead.
