Chapter 36: The Betrayer

Relying on Jacqueline's mediation, the tense situation between the two sides barely eased, and the battle did not break out.

Jacqueline proved that Donald did work with the craftsmen, and that they had just arrived in Corta a few days ago and saved the priest on the way, which helped Donald and the others clear their minds of a lot of suspicions.

Of course, there are also Donald's worries about Julia's presence and the reason for hurting her, and there are also the apostles of the Craft and Forging Sect who know that they are invincible and want to find an idea under the stairs, if they can live, who wants to die?

After all, Corta is not Demingham, and the temple of the Craft and Forging Sect is not here, there is no dominance-level powerhouse here, and the three Awakening Levels are really going to make trouble, as far as Corta's current situation is concerned, the Craft and Forging Sect is indeed unbearable.

"I just want to get my stuff back, and I can tell you the contents of the inscription that I left outside to keep things safe...... To share with you, I have only one condition, I want to participate in your actions, and you also want to share information with me, don't be in a hurry to refuse, the three of us, all of us are awakened level, and we just destroyed a blood castle near Beruye before, you can go and verify, our combat power can definitely help you do many things. ”

The fact that the battle did not break out does not mean that Donald can cooperate with these big bosses, and looked directly at Jacqueline, judging from her previous performance, she still has a certain say here.

"Wait a minute, we need to discuss it. ”

Although Jacqueline was tempted to say yes, this was Corta, and most of the information was in the hands of the apostles who belonged to the Craft and Forge Sect beside her, so it was difficult for her to speak directly.

Several people gathered in the utility room on the first floor of the workshop to discuss.

"I'm against it, I can't trust these strangers, Knight Captain Jacqueline, you should also understand how serious the situation is now, our sect's reputation in Corta depends on the truth of this matter, and the content of this drawing on this drawing is obviously the batch of firearms that we have been tracking down recently, as well as these books...... I was skeptical that there were apostatists in the sect before, but now it seems to be true!"

Holding the drawings in his hand, he knew that he had been a little sensitive recently, and he was even overreacting to any external emergencies, but this was largely because he was carrying too much pressure.

"According to them, a few weeks ago they cleared the Blood's castle in the mountains near Beruye, and if this is true, then it is impossible for them to commit a crime in Corta after a few days' journey, Captain, I request that I go back now to check the actions of those men. ”

Jacqueline was about to speak, but an apostle next to her said directly, his opinion was actually contrary to his captain's.

"Francis, you ......"

The captain looked at the young man he called Francis, his expression was a little strange, and the act of refuting the opinion itself was fine, but this person, if he remembered correctly, had a stricter attitude towards the aliens than himself, and now he actually offered to consider letting them participate in the action.

"I think it's feasible, just like the gentleman just said, if these three people can become our helpers, their combat strength can undoubtedly provide us with a lot of assistance, Captain Luther, didn't you just say that the situation is serious, do you want to watch Corta's problem continue to spread? I can be responsible for communicating with these people...... In fact, what they handed over to Uncle Craftsman was an unfinished space ring, which I saw with my own eyes, which is why they were so nervous and irritable, can you understand?"

Jacqueline finally chose to tell the story of the space ring, which can undoubtedly increase the credibility of Donald and the others, if they have bad intentions, there is no need to use the space ring as bait, right?

"Hmm...... Okay, I'll agree to cooperate for the time being, Francis, you go back and verify what they said, and use the communication circle within the sect, as fast as possible. ”

The space ring still has enough weight, Captain Luther thought for a moment and then said,

"If they do anything out of the ordinary, I'll stop the operation immediately, and even though we need to use extraordinary methods in extraordinary times, that doesn't mean we have to abandon our principles and make compromises. ”

"Then I'll go first. ”

After receiving the answer, Francis left the utility room directly, and after going out, he glanced at the Donald and the others gathered next to him, and his steps kept accelerating.

When he arrived at the door, he found a girl with a long sword waiting for him outside.

"You're in such a hurry, where do you want to go?"

Donald's voice rang out behind him, and Anthony, who was beside him, looked the man up and down, and turned his head sideways to tell Donald the result.

"I'm going to ask the Muslims to verify what they just said, this is to confirm your identity, what do you mean?"

Looking at the girl in front of him who exuded an awakening-level momentum, Francis dodged his eyes, gritted his teeth secretly, and continued.

"Verify our identity...... It's a good excuse to leave, but before that, I have a question for you, where did you go yesterday morning?"

Donald narrowed his eyes and approached him.

"What do you outlaws want to do? This is Corta, not a place outside the law where you once lived!"

deliberately amplified the voice, and as expected, several people who were still discussing in the utility room immediately pushed the door and walked out, looking at them suspiciously.

"Captain Luther, I wanted to verify their identity, but they stopped me, what these people just said about destroying the Blood Clan's castle, I suspect that they made it up to deceive our trust!"

As soon as Francis said this, Luther, who was already hostile to Donald and his party, immediately frowned, and he naturally trusted his team members more than these outsiders.

"You're pretty good at biting back, but can you answer my previous question first, where were you in the early hours of this morning, and why did you appear among the few people who infiltrated the workshop in the second-level inscription I placed at the back door of the workshop, the image recorded by the Scout Eye?"

That's right, when Anthony was looking at the scout's eye, he clearly saw a team sneaking in through the back door of the workshop late last night or early this morning, and one of them looked at least eight points like the man who was in a hurry to leave.

If Anthony was a little uncertain before, and now seeing that this person is actually preparing to leave early, it can be said that he is nine times out of ten.

"I don't understand what you're talking about. ”

At this time, it is natural to not admit it.

"Okay, you don't understand, then I'll explain to you well, I came three days to find a craftsman to build an object, because it is very important to me, so before leaving, I arranged a second-level inscription around the house in all four directions that can record the image of everything that happened around me in a certain period of time - Scout Eye, is it very annoyed, regret why I didn't think to check the situation around the workshop at that time?"

Donald said unhurriedly, not so much explaining to Francis as to the people next to him to understand.

So all eyes turned to Francis.

"I was sleeping at home in the early hours of yesterday morning, and what you said was recorded by the Scout Eye...... Just with a mouth, it's not what you want to say?"

He could only hope that their inscriptions were disposable, and that they could not be re-watched after having seen them.

"Yes, Your Excellency, since you said that there is a recorded video, can you take it out directly?"

"Of course it's no problem, the scouting eye is at the back door of the workshop, you can call up the content at any time, this gentleman, take a look with us, if you really admit your mistake, I will not only apologize to you in person, but also give you 100 gold pounds in compensation!"

Donald glanced at Anthony and nodded in an imperceptible motion, and Anthony quickly retracted the step he was about to take and turned his body to where Francis was.

"Captain Luther, are you just watching these aliens slander me?"

Francis set his eyes on Luther, who avoided him, Luther did not think that the Donalds would make up meaningless lies to deceive him at such times, his personality was indeed a little radical, but that did not mean that he was a fool.

"Francis, it's just a confrontation, just prove your innocence, and we'll let that gentleman fulfill his promise...... What are you worried about?"

Captain Luther was inconvenient to question his teammates, but Jacqueline didn't have so many restrictions and asked directly.

"It's simply unreasonable, I Francis can swear to the king of blacksmiths, I have absolutely no ...... Dirt waves!"

Raising his hand seemed to be declaring his loyalty to his faith, but the next second, his palm slammed to the ground, and the ground around him bulged in an instant, like a wave pushing towards all directions.

If you don't leave now, when will you wait?

However, Francis couldn't help but underestimate Donald, who had been prepared, and Lilo didn't care about these waves of earth at all, and she didn't even draw her long sword, and shook these layers of soil back in a flash.

Bigby strikes the palm!

Donald didn't give any chance, and the Bigby Assault Palm, which was used with his energy shaping talent, no longer simply pushed forward, but rushed directly into the dirt waves, and grabbed Francis who wanted to take the opportunity to escape.

Anthony, who was already halfway through the race, stopped at the same time.

"Why, in front of so many people, you still want to run?"

He threw the man directly on the ground in the center of the workshop, and the crowd immediately surrounded him.

"Francis, why are you doing this?"

Luther looked at his team members in disbelief, Francis's escape just now was enough to prove that what Donald said before was true, he was involved in this murder!

There was no response, and Francis, who knew that he could not escape, just sat on the ground and did not look at the people around him.

"Heh, it seems to be a hard bone, a few people, my treasure is at stake...... You don't mind if I interrogate him, do you?"

Donald glanced around the people in front of him, there was no objection, from the moment Francis betrayed, there were no more of his companions here, nodded in satisfaction, and turned his head to look at Lilo.

An undead breath can soften all the hard bones, and it is clear that Francis is not a person who sees death as his home.

"It was the robbers who told me to do this, and they said that if I brought them here, they would give me a good reward......

"He's not telling the truth!"

Stephanie directly interrupted Francis's speech, and Francis's current state could not withstand the probing of her talent.

"It seems that the lesson is not enough ......"

Donald no longer kept his hand, and his mental power controlled Francis's hands, floating in front of him, and then said,

"I'll give you 10 seconds to answer my question. ”

“1!”

The nail of the thumb of the right hand was forcibly pulled out directly from the flesh of the fingertip by mental power.

Donald had never liked this kind of torment, but today he really didn't have the patience to reason with this Mr. Francis.

"Ah~ I really don't know, I ......"

“2!”

This time it's the right index finger.

"Wait, you wait a minute, I'll ......"

“3!”

The middle finger of the right hand.

Ten fingers to the heart, this is only the third nail, Francis is already curled up on the ground in pain, but his hands are still raised in the air.

Donald stood in front of him, just his eyes down, the coldness in his gaze clearly visible.

“4!”

Right ring finger.

I said...... I say!"

"5...... When you finish, when will I stop. ”

At this point, the tip of his right finger was already a blur of flesh and blood, and the people next to him listened to Francis's wail, but Julia turned around under Stephanie's care.

"Francis, those who turn away from the faith deserve the harshest punishment in the world, and you should know this very well in the doctrine. ”

The most hated by the major sects is undoubtedly the people who have betrayed the faith, and the more determined the faith, the more they hate this type of people.

"I didn't turn my back on the faith, they told me that if I helped them find it, they would help me to move up the ranks in the sect, and then I would be able to serve the king of blacksmiths better...... I didn't expect them to kill, I was also coerced!"

Francis is still trying to justify himself.

"Where's the ring!"

Donald didn't care about those things, he just wanted to know where the spatial ring was.

"It was taken by the robbers, and after they had killed people, they searched the workshop for a while. ”

"Where are the robbers?"

"Hiding in the sewers in the middle of the city, but I don't know exactly where. ”

Tremblingly answering Donald's question, this time Stephanie didn't give a reminder that Francis was telling the truth.

"Is it true that the bandits who have been operating between the cities of Corta and Delchimo lately, causing panic and killing?"

Jacqueline clenched her fists, the target of her appearance here was them, the Church of Dawn got information, the group of robbers had recently lurked in Corta, she had been looking for so many days without finding the slightest trace, it turned out that they were all hiding underground!

"No, those robbers told you that you could take you to the next level in the sect, and you actually believed it? Don't you know that you need approval from within the church to improve your position in the sect, you ......?"

Halfway through his words, Luther's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and the rest of the words were choked in his throat.

He saw Francis's eyes, and a thought suddenly and uncontrollably appeared in his mind that sent chills down his spine.

If those robbers didn't lie to Francis.

Does that mean that the Craft and Forge Sect has people in the branch of Corta who support the bandits?
