Perus threw out the crystal pendant

"Jingle bell!"

The crystal necklace symbolizing the status of the sheriff of Hattis is thrown at Hanina's feet.

"I've wanted to go out for a long time, to see the borders of the Empire, to see the people who are fighting there!"

At this moment, Perus felt a sense of relief in his body, and then, a familiar feeling suddenly came to his heart, and in a trance, a faint divine power flooded around his body.

"Huh?" Hanina's eyes flashed, and she looked at Perus in surprise, "The holy power has been recondensed?"

Perus was also stunned, the feeling he was familiar with just now would not be wrong, it was the feeling of the condensation of holy power! He lowered his head and stared at his hands with an incredulous face.

He tried to feel the Holy Power again, but he couldn't respond.

"Holy power is not that simple!" Yarman's golden eyes suddenly dimmed, he turned around and took two quick steps and disappeared into the darkness, "Go find your lost faith, my friend." ”

Perus stared at the vanishing position of Yarman.

"Take care of yourself. Hanina instructed, stooping down to pick up the crystal necklace that Perus had thrown away at her feet, glanced at Tabor lying on the ground, and walked to the side path.

"Baron Lill has been let go by me, and he may go to the imperial capital to find his cousin, who is Duke Nick's assistant. Just as Hanina's figure was about to disappear into the darkness, Perus suddenly reminded.

"At this time, none of this matters, the case in Tyre will be closed soon, and in a few days someone will come forward to take the blame, even the Prime Minister of the Empire will not be able to stop it. Hanina was stunned and said casually.

"It seems that the guard department also has its own plans. Perus shook his head bitterly.

"I didn't know it beforehand, just two hours ago," Hanina turned sideways, she stopped in the middle of her sentence, and then looked at Perus with her eyes steadfast, "but everything we do is for the Empire. ”

"I hope!" Perus shook his head, crouching down to untie the rope from Tabor.

Lying on the ground, Tabor had been listening to the conversation between the three of them, he looked at Hannina who was leaving, and said in a dry voice, "Where are we going?"

"Anku Fortress!"

......

......

Inside the study of Duke Nick, the Prime Minister's official residence.

Pedi lightly placed the hammer on the weapon rack.

The smell of paper and ink in the study is very strong, but the ink and paper in this world are all natural, and they smell a unique natural fragrance.

Duke Nick was still flipping through the papers, and there were at least twenty candles densely lit on the candle lamp next to his desk, which made Pedi, who had just entered the room, ask a dizzying smell.

"Father!" Pedi walked over to Duke Nick's desk and stood.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Duke Nick was serious about his work, and he didn't react until Pedy called him, he looked at Pedi, quickly closed the document he was flipping through, and then stood up.

"Go sit on the couch, it's late, but we're going to talk for a long time. ”

Duke Nick said as he walked over to the coffee machine in the study to light the fire, while Pedy walked to the reception couch with confusion and leaned back.

"I didn't bother you by calling you so late, I wanted to talk to you a few days ago, but you didn't come back..."Seeing Pedi trying to explain, the Duke waved his hand and said, "I like to live alone outside when I'm your age, even if the environment is poor, so you don't have to explain anything." ”

Pedi was speechless for a moment, Duke Nick had never loudly reprimanded his children, at least not Pedi had ever seen them, and he was always able to communicate with his children from different angles.

The look of nostalgia on the duke's face flashed, and then he said with a serious face: "But today we must talk about it, because I need to know a little bit about the situation. He stared at his second son and said in a playful tone: "Some people want to use your mouth to help him send me some information, but you don't seem to cooperate with him very much!"

Pei Di was slightly stunned when he heard this, "What?"

Duke Nick smiled and asked, "I heard that you are investigating the case of the assassination of Baron Gordon Eyre?"

"Yes, I wouldn't take on this case if I had the choice. Pedi replied earnestly, and the whole case began to be recalled in his mind.

"So, how is the investigation? Has the murderer been found?"

"What do you mean by this?" Pedi tried to help his father fiddle with the cup, but was refused, "If it's a direct murderer, I think I have a goal..."

"But—" Pedi didn't know what to say for a moment.

"But what?" Nick looked at his son with a smile on his face, the wrinkles on his face prominent, "Do you want to say that even if you catch this murderer, it doesn't make much sense." ”

"Yes!" Pedi nodded, "This is no ordinary murder, I suspect there's something bigger involved, well... There's a group called the Tower of Dawn that's planning something, and if I'm not mistaken, they're even able to influence the decisions of the higher-ups of the Guards. ”

"Oh?" Duke Nick was not surprised, he nodded and said, "I want to hear about your investigation in the past few days, the more detailed the better." ”

Pedi glanced at his father in surprise, and looking at his father's serious eyes, he began to organize the wording: "On the morning of the 14th of this month, my adjutant Sergeant Owa suddenly walked into my office......"

Pedi began to tell the story of the case in the past few days.

Duke Nick walked over to his desk and brought a piece of paper and a pen, he listened carefully while making coffee, and sometimes when he encountered something important, Pedi would stop, he would ask a few questions in detail, and then write and draw on the paper.

In this way, the two fathers and sons asked and answered one after another, which lasted for more than an hour.

"Is it Sir Gus El himself who has repeatedly asked for his own command to capture the magician witnesses at the 'House of Warriors'?" asked Duke Nick, staring at a piece of parchment that he had written densely.

"Yes, I persuaded him, and his assistant advised him, but he insisted on going, he probably trusted Hanko, and if Hanko had no problem, the old sir was safe, at least no one could do anything to him at the 'Warrior's House'. Pedi nodded.

"Who suggested that Hanko go with him?" asked Duke Nick again.

"It should be up to the director to decide, and Hanko's line has always been under his own control. ”

"It's weird. Grand Duke Nick stared at the paper in his hand in deep thought.

Pedi subconsciously asked, "What's strange?"

"Do you think that as the chief of the security department, it is necessary to go and arrest a witness himself? This is a witness, not a murderer! Moreover, I don't know if it is a useful witness. Archduke Nick's eyes were deep, "It's just such a coincidence, Hanko assassinated him." Moreover, Hanko used to have the opportunity to do it sometimes, but why at this time?"
