A hotel closest to the ruins of the Sheriff's Office in Tyre was rented out by Hanina to serve as their temporary office and resting place.

Anyone in the hotel who had nothing to do with the security was cleared, even the innkeeper, who was so happy that he was smiling as he held a small bag of gold coins.

After returning from Baron Lear's estate, Pedi first inquired about the results of the investigation at the scene, and after receiving the answer that was still being investigated, he said to Hanina and Perus, "It seems that we still have time to rest." ”

After that, he didn't wait for the two of them to reply, and walked in a random room.

"Oh, our Sheriff Pedi looks exhausted. Perus shrugged, his face no longer showing the humility and respect he had just had.

"Don't underestimate him, Perus, his power is even purer and stronger than mine, and you—" Hannina shook her head, "the power has long since left you. ”

Perus said coldly, "That's because of the faith I fought for before, and I was been..."

"Perus!" Hanina interrupted, "no one can choose their own fate, not even His Majesty the Emperor, the war for the throne thirteen years ago... Forget it, what's the use of talking about this, it's been so long!"

"It seems to me that it happened yesterday, sir. Perus muttered.

"That's not your fault," the wrinkles on Hannina's face huddled together.

"Yes, we are not wrong, but my faith has collapsed, so the Holy Force has left me. Perus smiled ugly, "Aren't you the same? ”

"But I remain steadfast in my beliefs. Hannina said coldly.

"Really?" Perus sneered inwardly.

"I know you're laughing at me. Hanina seemed to be able to read Perus's thoughts, "The divine light will prove my word, and you, long since been corrupted by a comfortable life." ”

"At least the rotten life makes me feel real!" Perlus stared at Hanina, who lowered his voice, "Tell me, is this case of the military department the work of the 'Radiant Force'?"

"No!" Hanina immediately shook her head, "The Radiant Force will not assassinate anyone in the Empire. ”

"But—" Perus was visibly skeptical.

"No, but. Hanina interrupted Peruus, "I know what you want to say, although Baron Gordon Ayr has the opposite philosophy and organization, the 'Radiant Power' will never assassinate anyone in the Empire, not even by order of His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Gordon Ayre's philosophy is correct, it is long overdue for orcs and humans to engage in meaningful peace negotiations, look at the elven kingdom, look at the dwarven kingdom, they get along well with humans. Perus retorted, "Your set of dogmas made hundreds of years ago should have been abolished long ago!"

"You are no longer one of the twelve council members of the 'Radiant Power', your words have no effect, your most wrong decision back then was to quit the organization, and now..."

Hanina shook her head and sighed, her face full of helplessness.

"You have forgotten the original purpose of the Radiant Power that our ancestors founded. Perus shook his head.

"You don't understand anything!"

"I have no intention of arguing with you, sir, there are some issues that we talked about ten years ago. Pelous looked at Pedy's room, "Maybe I should learn from Sir Pedi and give myself a good rest." ”

With that, he opened the door to a nearby room and stepped inside.

Hanina sighed as she looked at the back of Peruth, who could be counted as half her disciple.

Ten years ago, Peruz was a brilliant paladin, one of the youngest twelve council members of the Radiant Power. But it all stopped with the war on the throne ten years ago, that damn order, and that shady massacre.

The predecessor of the 'Radiant Force' was the most powerful legion of mankind 300 years ago, the Holy Radiant Legion, which was disbanded by Emperor Danediv VI 200 years ago due to a failed coup d'état.

Subsequently, all the senior generals of the legion were exiled.

Immediately afterwards, Danediv VI re-organized a Legion of the Iron Guard, which was later led by the Church of Divine Radiance, under the framework of the Legion of Divine Radiance.

The high-ranking generals of the Holy Radiance Legion, exiled to the fortresses of Anku and Coron, have returned to their hammer after a dark time under the leadership of a paladin named Fistre.

They put aside their noble status as paladins and joined the lowest troops, willing to become cannon fodder at the forefront of the battle, fighting against orcs and barbarians.

They vowed to wash away their shame and prove their loyalty by expelling every enemy of the empire with their holy powers!

However, the empire at the time did not recognize their organization at all, turning a blind eye to the contributions they made to the empire. It was not until a hundred years later, when the twelfth emperor of the Danediv family ascended the throne, that the legitimacy of this organization was officially recognized.

Ten years ago, the leadership of the Radiant Power violated their dogma and joined the Empire's internal struggle, taking part in a war for the throne in the same way that the Holy Radiant Legion had made two hundred years earlier.

However, unlike 200 years ago, this time the 'Radiant Power' is the victor.

At the time, Pelus was a member of the board of directors and was vehemently opposed to this approach, but no one cared about his opinion, he was only a newcomer to the board of directors at the time, and she remained silent at that time when he looked hopefully at his teacher Hanina.

Later, Perus withdrew from the 'Radiant Power', and when the Council announced their decision, nearly half of the entire organization had made the same choice.

However, the coronation of His Majesty the Emperor Laubert has reinvigorated the battered 'Radiant Force', and in just ten years, the power of the organization has spread throughout the empire, but at the same time, they have also completely become the sword in the hands of the imperial family.

......

The next morning, just after dawn, Pedi was woken up by Harus, and by the time he walked out of the room, Hannina and Peruth were already in the lobby of the hotel.

"The people who attacked the police were clearly looking for something. Tepu reported on the side, "Although the scene has been processed, that trace of earth elemental magic has not escaped our detection, this is a kind of exploratory magic, the principle is to use soil and space to interact with each other..."

"Sir, you just need to tell me the results of the investigation. "Hanina clearly has no interest in magic at all.

"They found what they needed at the police station, but they didn't find it. Harus added from the sidelines.

"Is this good news?" Perus glanced at Pedi who came down from the second floor, "Those two so-called witnesses, how is the background check going?"

"A blacksmith and a magician's apprentice who lives in the blacksmith's house. One of the agents brought by Hanina replied, "According to the analysis of the case investigated by Sergeant Owa earlier, the blacksmith is most likely the one who forged the dagger. ”
