Chapter 401: An Unavoidable Conflict
Lagunov is an executive who never sloppily when it comes to getting things done.
After knocking the goblins back, he didn't order a break.
Came all the way to Hogburg, really to arrest Jarrow?
No, just the day before yesterday, he received a secret order: investigate the current situation of the castle, and if the target is in the same stream as the evil thing, take it on the spot!
Hogburg seems to be part of the kingdom, but in fact, it became independent thirty years ago, but few people know about it.
This kind of thing, the heretical inquisitor should not be involved, but there is a rumor that makes people have to pay attention!
It is said that this city has long been controlled by evil creatures, and everyone in the castle is full of evil things, and if it is true, they will send troops to crusade against it!
In Lagunov's view, it is purely imaginary, but Hogburg is too mysterious and makes people a little uneasy.
In any case, it is necessary to come to inquire about the truth: "Thank you two for leading the way, a little heart, and I hope to accept it!" β
Hogburg is relatively closed, coins, Sines, and other things are not in circulation, or rather, money is not needed at all!
They are all doing things for the castle, and the remuneration they get is all material rewards.
And the only few shops in the castle, such as the barber shop and the pharmacy, are all public, and they all serve the general public free of charge.
In the eyes of the guards, two 5-denomination Sines are no different from waste paper!
"Inquisitors are on official business, so you'd better leave it alone! Tell me, where are those little ghosts? β
No matter how good your temper is, anyone who hears this will get angry: "Hmph, no matter who you are, if you come to us, you have to abide by our rules!" β
"Please say what you mean, otherwise, you better go back!"
The guards are not weak, much stronger than Lagunov's people.
understood that he was looking for trouble, how could he give a good face, and surrounded people on the spot: "I'm sorry, it's my person who said the wrong thing, I hope you forgive me!" β
"Hello, my name is Lagunov, and I was ordered to arrest a young man named Jarrow, and I hope to make it convenient!"
"Sorry, we don't have anyone you're looking for, so please go back!"
Speaking of which, what else can Lagunov say.
It was impossible to leave, and just as the two sides were about to fight, Eden sent someone: "Everyone, my lord has an invitation, please come with me!" β
On the Jarrow side, the client's arrangement was quite thoughtful, and the meals delivered were very tasty, and Charles ate bowl after bowl.
But he doesn't have much of an appetite!
Jarrow is not a professional and has not achieved much in academic research.
It was quite difficult for him to understand the cause of the fog and even how to solve it.
Fortunately, the dark magic he possesses can help somewhat.
After much trying, he finally confirmed one thing: the dense fog inside and outside the castle did not spread from the misty swamp, but was man-made!
It may be a failed top-secret experiment that caused such a result, or maybe it was a duel between masters that changed the climate and environment.
In short, whatever the reason, you have to pay attention to it.
In order to figure out the problem, Jarrow borrowed a few history books.
After reading it, he was quite surprised that the history of Hogburg was even older than the kingdom!
This unique castle has been built for more than 600 years.
According to the book, at first, there was no thick fog, but from the third lord of the castle, the thick fog has appeared!
The legendary third lord of the castle, named Dracula, was recognized as an earl by the most powerful empire of the time.
Nominally, the castle belongs to the territory of the empire, but due to the decline of the empire, it cannot be controlled at all.
And the fog only began to exist after the last visit of the Empire!
According to the speculation of well-known politicians, the two sides did not negotiate, which led to the breakdown of the alliance, and the empire was angry, so it made a "good show"!
Having said that, this legendary figure called Dracula has always been young during his 66-year reign, even if he eats too many supplements, he shouldn't be like this, right?
Wait, could the fog have something to do with him?
"Strange, why isn't there much written about the earl? Is it because it's too old? β
Feeling that he should find more books to read, Jarrow was going downstairs to find someone, so that he would not die, and the Inquisitor of Heresy had found him!
Although Charles's injuries have healed for the most part, he is short of qi and blood, and he must recuperate for at least five days before he can recover.
Fortunately, Wheat understands some pharmacology, and he only drank the decoction once, and his complexion improved.
If you keep drinking, you can recover in less than three days.
Of course, the premise is that during this period, you can't come nonsense!
Lagunov's men, with a rather tough attitude, went straight to Jarrow as soon as they greeted Eden.
As soon as Charles heard the sound of neat footsteps, he knew they were coming: damn it! They still found it!
"Jarrow, you stay here, I'll go out and meet them!"
"You? You're all like this, let's lie down honestly! β
"They're coming at you, and if you get out, you'll be taken! Don't worry, I'll be guarding the door! β
Wheat hadn't left yet, and when she saw Charles coming downstairs in a hurry, she was about to step forward to stop her, but was stopped by Jarrow: "Don't worry, he'll be fine, remember to give him more medicine!" β
In the beginning, the existence of the Inquisitor did contribute to the stability of society, and the conflict between ordinary people and magicians was alleviated, and they contributed a lot.
However, with the change of generations of rulers, the purpose of the organization gradually deviated from its original intention.
In the eyes of many, the Inquisitors of the Inquisition today are the wild dogs that someone unleashed.
It was up to the owner to beat the dog, and even though he didn't want to have contact with them, Eden agreed to the request: If I can't even get through such trouble, how can I do it for me?
And just like that, Lagunov's men came menacingly.
Before they could get there, they frightened the resting horses: "Don't be afraid, I'm here!" β
In order to force them back, Charles first used [Hardening], and then used [Fearless Fury] and [Intimidation], a combination package that really shocked people!
"Little brother, we're not here to find you, let that kid come out, otherwise, don't blame me!"
"Three times and twice to find trouble with us, the reason is that they are all so arrogant, do you really think we are easy to bully?"
"Come on! If you want to fight, I'll be with you to the end! β
Giving people the appearance of being strong, in fact, they are just being strong.
Stay in front of the door and do not move, because you dare not move, if you do, you will be ruined.
With Lagunov's eyesight, he could see that he was bluffing.
Knowing that the black ant shield in his hand was more dangerous, he didn't come directly: "Little brother, you have been by his side for so long, you should know how dangerous he is, right?" β
"If not, do you need me to tell you?"
"Okay, then you can tell me what crime Jarrow has committed that you need to do a lot of work! By the way, don't talk about any trumped-up charges! β
Charles was dragging his feet, he was waiting for Eden's men to show up, but unfortunately no one would come.
Lagunov had been prepared for a long time, and in the face of his questioning, there was no pressure at all.
When he enumerated them all, Charles's face was extremely ugly: Jarrow had indeed done what he said, but how could he say it from their mouths, but it had changed?
Hmph, the guy who only reverses right and wrong in black and white!
What I hate the most is people like you, look at the tricks!
"It's horrible! Little brother, I'm getting more and more interested in you! Can you tell me, how did you develop this skill? β
The lack of magic can be made up for with weapons and equipment, but the body is not good.
The more sophisticated and high-end the equipment, the more demanding the requirements for users.
If you want to practice to get a good body, for ordinary people, it is not enough to rely on hard training alone, and if the amount of training is excessive, it will be counterproductive.
In the face of the magic attacks of hundreds of people, Charles still seemed to be a nobody, and even swept several people away with one leg, in Lagunov's opinion, he was an anomaly!
The last time we met, he didn't have this kind of strength, why did he suddenly become stronger?
"It's useless to talk too much! Annoying flies, give me death! β
Charles didn't use the Black Ants, not because they were soft-hearted, but because they knew that the protective barrier that got in the way could resist magic.
That kind of protective barrier can't defend against physical attacks, so he decisively rushed to kill it.
One after another, his subordinates fell, how could Lagunov let him mess around: "Terrible little brother, the farce should be over!" β
After all, he graduated from a military academy, so how could he not understand some fighting skills.
In his opinion, every move of Charles has too many flaws, and it is not difficult to subdue people!
It's just that Jarrow is in the house, how can he see that something happened to his companion: "The person who dared to touch me asked me?" β
"Oh no, turn on the wall magic!"
Cut, it's that kind of magic that gets in the way again!
In that case, burn all those who fell to the ground!
Just as Jarrow was about to go on a killing spree, Wheat ran out: "Stop fighting, if you keep fighting, what will this street be destroyed?" β
As she shouted, the guards who had been waiting nearby for a long time appeared one after another.
With them intervening, Jarrow had no choice but to give up, snorted coldly, and helped Charles back to the house: I'll let you go for the time being! Sooner or later, I'll settle accounts with you...
As the top person in charge of the operation, Bobo will not arrive for a long time, not because he is on the wrong path, but because something is delayed.
Yesterday afternoon, at the edge of the Misty Swamp, he encountered a large black snake.
Touching the melon along the vine, he unfortunately encountered a detachment: "Demons? Looking at you, it must be the one who attacked the magic train some time ago, right? β
"I'm sorry, that little ghost is ours, you don't want to take him!"
Tokhtar didn't want to deal with people, he just wanted to wait quietly, Jarrow walked out of the swamp, but he was too annoying, so he taught a lesson, and regarded it as a way to pass the time.
But Bobo's ability is not small, even if he can't beat it, he has to hit a dozen, and as a result, this fight will be fought until dark.
If it weren't for that, Jarrow who was lucky enough to leave the swamp would have been caught by one of them!
"Cut, that woman is too fierce, my injuries will take at least three days to heal, I hope Lagunov can do good things for me!"
