This is a great opportunity, a chance for her to complete the salvation of her soul. It can also be said that she is atoning for her sins, and she is using practical actions again and again to make up for the damage caused to Caroline Swift, the eldest daughter of Viscount Darlington. At this time, when the idea of atonement shifts from the eldest daughter Caroline to the second son Francis, she hopes that she can help this once depraved, young noble child realize her dreams.

"Listen, I have more important business for you to do. So, you can't go. Isabel's tone was unmistakable.

"Your Excellency, isn't it important to fight the county vigilantes of Westmoreland? I can't think of anything more important than dying in battle. Perhaps, Francis imagined this too seriously.

Isabel shook her head and whispered, "Don't worry, I'm not going to fight. If I took off my monk's garment and took off my mask, who do you think I am? ”

With such an explanation, Francis Swift's eyes lit up, nodded and said, "I think you are the Privy Counsellor of His Highness. ”

"I'm sorry, but I was originally a privy counsellor at the Duke's Court of Richmond. Francis, am I the only one? ”

"By the royal decree of His Majesty the King, Miss Isabelle, daughter of Sir Augustine, who is the magistrate of the county and the captain of the guard."

"Well, that's a good point. So, I led 10 of His Highness's guards to Westmoreland County to assist my father in hunting down the thieves, right? ”

Hearing her say this, Francis smiled and nodded and replied, "Yes, Your Excellency, your explanation is too good. ”

Isabel just smiled and said, "Find 10 Black Friars for me." Let them take off their monks' robes, take off their masks, and restore their appearance as guards of the Duke's Palace. ”

Francis nodded and walked briskly out of the clergy's quarters, and Isabel watched him go, then turned back to the clergyman's quarters and sat neatly in front of Peter MacDonald, the leader of the Highlander mercenaries.

In the past, McDonald spent the time in a state of despair and the illusion that he could survive before he died. At this moment, when he saw that the black friar under the silver mask was still seated, he knew that he had half a hope of getting out of the church alive.

I couldn't tell what kind of face Isabel was behind the mask, but her tone made people shudder: "So, McDonald, you plan to trade all your treasure for your life?" ”

If it weren't for the two legs tied, it is estimated that Peter would have fallen to his knees in front of Isabel. Then she fell down reverently before the "saint" black friar, stared at the black friar's feet with tears in her eyes, and carefully kissed her right instep with her own lips. Just as the ancient Egyptians lay on the ground in front of their masters, sniffing or kissing the earth; Like a Persian who is close to his own king, he prays while lying down in front of the king, touching his face to the ground as if he were facing a god.

McDonald hurriedly replied, "Yes, sir." You will remember that the Bible says: 'I will give you the treasures of darkness and the treasures of secret, that you may know that it is I, the Lord God of Israel, who have nominated and called you.'" ’”

At this time, Isabel remembered several newly soiled graves in the church cemetery, and deliberately said: "Treasures in the dark? Hidden treasures? McDonald, the Lord Jesus Christ told you a long time ago: 'Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth bites and rusts, and thieves dig holes to steal.' 'Really? ”

"My lord, how do you know that all the treasure we have looted is on the ground?"

"For the Lord Jesus Christ has spoken long ago in the Bible."

"My lord, allow me to kiss the instep of your right foot as a sign of my respect and submission to you."

Isabel sneered and just said, "Your treasures are all in those new graves in the church cemetery, right?" ”

McDonald nodded hurriedly: "Yes, sir." If you don't believe me, I can dig it up for you. ”

"No, the Black Friars will find your treasure." Isabel stood up, turned to look at Thor with the dagger in hand, and then made a quick slash between her right index finger and her neck.

"Your ......, sir," McDonald could finish his sentence when he felt a hand covering his mouth. Immediately, he felt that his neck was bearing a sensation that he had not felt since he was born......

Isabel watched as MacDonald's neck was cut with a dagger by Saul, and a large amount of blood spurted out of it, and then walked out of the empty church to the cemetery south of the church. At this time, Francis greeted him: "Your lord, your horses and 10 Black Friars are all ready. ”

She nodded, glancing at the 10 Black Friars who were standing on the other side with their horses on the other side, looking new from head to toe. Then he said to Francis: "Go to the cemetery behind the church, and have the graves of the newly soiled earth be dug up, and the treasure of the highlanders is in the cemetery." ”

When Thor came to the church gate after completing the task given by the chief, Isabel smiled faintly as she took off her mask and said, "Go to the cemetery and dig up the treasures of the Scots, and bring them all back to the station." ”

Isabel dressed herself up and dressed herself in a quasi-lancer cuirass and a cloak painted with the coat of arms of the Duke of Richmond before the 10 Black Friars who had already been prepared. After glancing at the crowd, he said, "Brothers, this time not only the Scots have been completely cleared, but also a large amount of gold and silver treasures left by the Scots, are you happy?" ”

The black monks laughed and said, "Your Excellency, we are very satisfied, very happy. ”

Someone replied, "Your Excellency, this time we can make a fortune again." ”

Someone else shouted: "Your Excellency, when will there be such a task that can kill the highlanders and make a fortune?" ”

After Isabel quieted the crowd, she glanced at Francis and the others, who had found the treasure in the cemetery in the distance on the left, and said to the black monks, "Believe me, it will be soon." Now, we're going to get the other brothers back safely from Westmoreland, understand? ”

"Yes, Your Excellency."

"The Blackfriars never abandon a brother. All the brothers of the Blackfriars are like a knight's sword that can cut off the heads of all the Highlanders, and no one can stop the attack of the Blackfriars! Honor, courage, dedication! ”

"Honor, courage, dedication!!"

Before leaving, Francis came to her with his deputy: "Your Excellency, I will let Thor go with you." ”

Isabel nodded, smiled and said, "Francis, hide all your treasures when you go back, and tonight we will have a dinner that is richer than Christmas dinner!" ”
