"Captain Harvey," one of the guards opened the door and walked in, "it's your dinner. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The guards placed several plates on the table in the prayer room, while Locke sat in a daze.

The guard glanced at him, then walked over to the guard outside and said a few words before walking in again.

"Captain Harvey, the Grand Prosecutor has something inconvenient to come and tell you directly. Now the aristocrats are staring at them. The Grand Inspector asked me to tell you that you can eat and stay here for a few days, and everything will give you a satisfactory answer. ”

Locke Horan looked up at him, "What? Can those nobles still manage our crusaders? ”

"No, it's not." The guard shook his head, and he simply stopped here to talk to Locke.

"I'm Sergeant Cassian Gramm, one of the Inquisitors, and I'm responsible for keeping you safe here for this time."

The tall and strong Master Chief reflexively went over and closed the door, "Because of my position, I know a little bit about this. Of course, the Grand Attorney has instructed me to tell you, and I will forget everything I have said when I leave this room. ”

Master Chief Gramm gave Locke an apologetic look.

"Members of the Council of Nobles, they have returned from the Kingdom of Stormwind. They are holding the kingdom's laws against us, making us surrender power and control over the army. ”

"They have a series of territorial and rights claims against us; They made us surrender the power of the kingdom, and all the lands we had now conquered, as were divided in the kingdom in peacetime, were to be given back to the lords, and the lands without lords were to be restored to the hands of the noble councils. ”

"They want us crusaders to pledge allegiance to the Council of Nobles until a new heir emerges from the kingdom."

"This matter was categorically rejected by our crusaders." Master Chief Graham was a little indignant, "We all know what these nobles are like, and everyone knows what they want to do when they come back at this time." ”

"And these nobles are threatening to ban us! Say we are an illegal military organization! Not recognized by the kingdom, the Knights of the Silver Hand, who are said to dominate us, have long been dispersed. ”

Master Chief Gram laughed angrily, "We are on the front line in the fight against the Scourge! For the sake of the kingdom's recovery, we will stick to this broken continent day and night, and fight the undead day and night! And now, we turned out to be an illegal organization! ”

Locke also had an indignant look on his face, and he felt that he was not worth it.

"In this regard, the Great Lord Mograini has already planned for a long time. Our Knights of the Silver Hand also have an identity, they are all members of the Brotherhood of Light. Although the Knights of the Silver Hand have been disbanded, we can continue to use the Brotherhood of Light brand. The Brotherhood of Light is a legitimate organization of the Light recognized by the Kingdom, and our current Crusaders are a subordinate military organization of the Brotherhood of Light. ”

"Therefore, the Council of Nobles has come up with other conspiracies!" Master Chief Graham sighed.

"They are holding down the laws of the Kingdom past and trying to make us retreat. On the other hand, it also co-opted officers and soldiers in our army. Many have become minions of the Council of Nobles, both openly and secretly," Master Chief Graham sneered, "How many resist the temptation to become a hereditary nobleman?" ”

"And this time, they took the opportunity of you to leave with the army without permission, and instigated those old-fashioned priests in the Brotherhood of Light to censor your actions. Check if you have violated the will of the Light, or if your faith is pure. On the other hand, in the name of the kingdom, the noble council began to investigate whether you were guilty of treason, etc. ”

"High Lord Mograini, Grand Prosecutor Ethanlien, and General Abidis, they are not convenient to come and see you. Their every move is monitored by those nobles, and this is also the need to avoid suspicion. This time, the Council of Nobles wants to make our crusaders bow their heads and recognize their legitimate administration of the kingdom of Lordaeron. ”

"How many of them are there?" Locke couldn't help but look at Master Chief Gram and asked.

"Who? Those aristocrats? Master Gramm, confused, asked, "Viscounts." ”

"Can I trust you?" Locke suddenly looked at Master Chief Gramm.

Master Gram was stunned, and his face softened. "I'm Ethan Lien, Grand Attorney's subordinate, Captain Harvey, do you think I can be trusted?"

"Very well," Locke nodded, looking at Master Chief Gram with a cold glint in his eyes, "why don't you send someone to kill them!" ”

"This...!" Master Chief Graham looked at him in surprise.

"Wouldn't killing them be a hundred?" Locke said calmly, "It's a special time, find a way to kill them, and then push them to the Disaster Undead!" What's more, this is a special time for our crusade, and anyone who stands in our way will have to pay the price of blood! ”

"This is treason!" Master Chief Graham still looked at Locke in surprise, "Do you know the consequences of killing a kingdom nobleman?" ”

"They are nobles who have been canonized by the king, who would dare to do that?!"

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, and Locke didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.

However, Master Chief Graham immediately calmed down, and there was something inexplicable in his eyes. Perhaps, Locke's words made him have something in his heart that he had never felt before.

"It's too late now, and if they're still on their way, then we can do something." Master Chief Graham shook his head, "Now, they have reached Gadar, and if they die during this time, then think about it, who is the most suspicious?" ”

"Captain Harvey, I have said what I should have said, and I have said what I should not have said." Master Chief Graham stood up to say goodbye, "I hope you can stay here quietly for a few days, this storm should soon subside." If there is any news, I will convey it to you. ”

"Okay, thank you very much." Locke stood up to say goodbye, "I remember you, Master Gram, and you will benefit from today's words." ”

"Thank you very much." Master Chief Graham saluted and left the room.

In the days that followed, the days were flat, and no one else came except for Sally who had come a few times for work.

Just as Locke was getting used to the peaceful life of the little house, some unexpected people arrived.

On this day, Locke was doing push-ups in his room, venting his excess energy, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Locke had no choice but to get up and simply clean up.

"Hello, Captain Harvey." Outside the door, a middle-aged man with Mediterranean hair was standing outside, wearing a black patterned aristocratic robe and a brooch with the symbol of a noble family pinned to his chest.

"I am Viscount Noctis White, the current Speaker of the Council of Nobles." The bald man stood outside with a smile on his face, and he pointed to the table in the prayer room and said, "Won't you invite me in and sit?" ”

"What do you want to say, Viscount White, I'm sorry I'm messing up in the exercise room, you also saw it, it's been a long time since I cleaned up and it's inconvenient to entertain guests." Locke smiled, rejecting his request.

Is that what you are doing?

Okay, I remember you.

Viscount White touched his head with his hand, and then he smiled and said, "This is not the place to talk, we better keep it a secret." ”

"It's easy!" Locke shouted directly to the guards standing on either side, "Guards! Viscount White and I have some things to talk about that need to be kept secret, and I hope you can stay out of the way for a while! ”

Viscount White suddenly became embarrassed, and he touched his smooth head to hide it.

The guards saluted and opened the place, walking as far as they could to look at them.

"Okay, now it's fine," said Locke, standing in the doorway, with a slight smile, "I'm sorry, I can't get out of this room, or I'll be guilty of treason!" So you can only stand at the door and talk to me. ”

"Alright then!" Viscount White straightened his face, and he was no longer polite, and went straight to the point. "If you can help us to take over the kingdom, then in return. We will promote your title to the lowest viscount, the hereditary viscount! Do you understand? We are the Council of Nobles, we have this right, we now have the right to govern the kingdom! ”

"The army we control, and you can be the supreme commander! In the future, you will still be a candidate for the Generalissimo! ”

"Of course!" Viscount White touched his smooth head and looked at Locke with a deep expression, "It depends on how you choose?" ”

"You're going to be our friend? Or become our enemy!? ”

"If you choose to become our enemy, then we will spare no effort to attack you in this investigation and trial! Knock you out completely! Eventually, we will still accept your Crusaders' armies and lands. ”

"If you choose to stand with us."

Viscount White took out a blank piece of paper from his bosom and took out another ring and dangled it in front of Locke.

"On this piece of paper, it says that you have become a viscount, and this ring is the coat of arms of the noble council." Viscount White gestured to Locke with these two things, "As long as you agree, I will press this coat of arms with your name." In this way, you will become the new viscount of the kingdom, and you will also have a huge share of the future distribution of territories! ”

"How?!"

Viscount White looked at Locke with a smile.

Good luck for you, boy.

If it weren't for the fact that the council wanted to control the kingdom and had to have an army to support it, how could such a big benefit be handed over to you?

In this way, I will give you such a large benefit, and your Fifth Legion, as well as the army of the Silver Pine Forest, will be loyal supporters of the Council in the future.

In his opinion, this is already an extremely generous treatment. He couldn't think of anything else that Locke could refuse. Although paladins have their own beliefs, there will always be those who will betray their faith and join them for profit.

Paladins are also human.

And now, there are already quite a few paladins who are ready to move, and not all paladins have such noble qualities. They will be tempted by all kinds of temptations, first of all, the family is a hurdle that cannot be overcome.

"Are you done?" Locke looked at him with a smile.

"I'm done! So, what about your answer? Viscount White looked at Locke with a smile, and he was even ready to reach out and shake Locke's hand cordially.

"My answer is no!"

Locke playfully looked at the stunned Viscount White in front of him. "Need I repeat it again?"

"My answer is no!"
