"Gotcha! Get! Get! Gotta be!" The sound of footsteps came from the other side of the intersection, and Barrett, who heard the sound, knew that it was the guards in the city who were coming. However, if in the past 'Ulrik''s guards were only late, this time they have been delayed for quite some time.

It seems that this dispute in the diocese is probably a headache for the administrators of Ulrique! Looking at the big cap of the leader emerging from the corner of the road, the corners of Barrett's mouth began to turn up slightly.

Although he did not know why the church was so active. But Barrett knew that Ulrike could not be ignorant of the church's intentions. You must know that 'Ulrique' is the home of those local snakes who have been operating for many years. Their intelligence network can be said to be spread all over the three religions and nine streams, and any disturbance in the city will not escape their observation. And there were more than two or three participants in the operation on the part of the church, and it was inevitable that there would be some clues left after the consultations—and in this case, if the Garfield family did not know anything, their rule would probably be coming to an end.

In such a situation, the administrators of 'Ulrik' tend to be cautious when dealing with matters related to the church. I'm afraid that the other party will find some opportunity to cause an unmanageable situation. So after receiving today's news, those guys are probably going to hold an emergency meeting to discuss the appropriate response!

Barrett didn't even have to see it to know that the so-called meetings were not so much about discussing appropriate responses as they were about passing the buck to each other—a situation Barrett had seen many times during the test, and the court nobles liked to repeat such mistakes for decades. Of course, those 'cabinets' are not stupid, and in the end they can always compromise with each other to come up with a result. It's just that after a lot of real noise, they often have missed the best time to solve the problem.

Of course, this time they were not facing a very urgent time, and the time spent would naturally cause too serious consequences. However, during this period of time, Barrett informed the Boreham Merchant House and Malkin Mansion in the city of everything that happened here through the Church of the Notary Lord, which he had befriended.

Immediately afterwards, the men of these two parties had already arrived at the scene of the incident before the guards arrived. And their arrival also made Barrett more confident about dealing with the interrogation of the city guards in the future. But what Barrett didn't expect was that the Malkin steward would come in person.

At this moment, the middle-aged man in charge of this annual drama. He was spitting in front of Barrett: "Boyham, you have to remember that no matter what those guys ask you and your companions, you don't answer. When the time comes, you'll have to take care of everything with the two professionals we sent. ”

After saying this, Steward Malkin beckoned back, and soon two men in black dressed in woolen fabrics came to Barrett. The two men had different mustaches. Looking at Barrett with a serious expression, there was a hint of flattery in his eyes.

'Professionals? In other words, these two are the litigants in the game! However, it seems that the litigants of this era are far from being as eye-catching as they are in a certain period in reality! Despite this disdainful comment in his heart, Barrett still maintained a warm smile on his face: "Then please leave it to the two of you." ”

With the arrival of the city guards, this conversation between Barrett and Steward Malkin had to come to an end. The two litigants took over the task of communicating with the city guards together with the representatives sent by the church, but the blood-stained parties were isolated aside.

Barrett could tell that the leader of the City Guard had been trying to find an opportunity to get close to the player, but each time he was blocked by a few of the people who were negotiating with them. At this moment, it is different from my companions who are looking at the Western scenery. Barrett sighed in his heart: 'Sure enough, there is someone behind the scenes! If we didn't have these people in front of us today, we would all be annoyed to death. ’

After discovering that his efforts were not working, he realized that it was impossible to make any breakthroughs here. So all he can do now is to close the team, and as a participant this time, Barrett and his party have to go back with them according to the law.

But now there is another difficulty in front of the city guards, that is, how to get those stunned guys over. After the members of the church arrived, those guys inevitably broke out and hurt people after recovering, so they simply knocked them out and tied their hands and feet.

Of course, the city guards did not have medicines that could quickly revive the unconscious, but it was a pity that they did not bring those medicines with them when they traveled this time. So after some action, they naturally gave up this plan when it didn't work.

But it's also impossible to carry someone. Although it can be carried by dignitaries, there are important people who are willing to do not. Barrett and his entourage must be unwilling, after all, there is no reason to let the party that has just done it do such a thing. They don't shoot the players with a grudge. Do you take the opportunity to carry someone's back? And the guards are reluctant to turn their backs on people in order to maintain their image. As for the church members present, it was even more impossible. In the end, I borrowed a flatbed truck from the temple of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce church to pull these unconscious guys away.

When they got to the place and woke them up, these grumpy and rude guys weren't ready to cooperate with the investigation at all. At first, he constantly emphasized his VIP status from the Kingdom of Lucia, and then he continued to loudly threaten the personnel handling the case. It's a pity that the case-handling personnel who are specifically responsible for interrogating them are court nobles who have managed to climb to their current position. This kind of person can be regarded as easy to catch a suspect in the same class as himself. What's more, these guys in front of him don't look like they have an aristocratic status.

This kind of experienced old man is very aware of the weaknesses and weaknesses of the other party, and at the same time, the status and occupation of the nobleman are not afraid of the other party's retribution - to use a saying that sounds inappropriate but is more appropriate to the status quo, "the two devils are more powerful than the devils". Unlike those in the same group who are completely depraved or go to other paths. They were the first and easiest to enter the system, after tasting the long-lost rights. In order to ensure their status and the opportunity for further promotion, they work harder at work. And when dealing with suspects who are also court nobles, they will never miss this opportunity to perform, with their unique advantages.

To some extent, of course. The nobleman of the court and the Lucian in front of him were comrades in a trench. However, in the current situation, the first thing for them is to know first-hand about the incident. And even if they are true allies, those who can be cheated by the other side are unlikely to have a good temper.

After some reasonable use of the existing legal regulations to threaten and intimidate, the Lucia brute, who had been arrogantly clamoring to take revenge on the players, had to lay down his own underwhelmed head. But at this time, they still refused to admit their mistakes. Can be under the intimidation of the iron fist of further **. The guy who faced the man who recognized the lie magic trick gritted his teeth and admitted his previous actions.

On the other hand, the cross-examination that players have to face is controlled by the two professional lawyers. Although this approximates the way of marionettes. It makes the players feel very uncomfortable. But compared to the public servants who are about to get angry in front of them, it should be considered very good.

Also in the town hall, the paladin of the Church of the 'Lord of the Notary' placed a replica of the image of the time rewind in front of a man with a golden wavy hair. The handsome man in silk clothes was really ugly at the moment. However, in the face of the representatives from the church standing in front of him, he was so angry that he could only hold all his dissatisfaction in his stomach and did not dare to vent.

"All right, two gentlemen. My client should have completed his task of cooperating with the official investigation. It's time to leave, too. The lawyer who said this blinked his eyes, "I don't think you two want to invite my client to stay for dinner!" ”

Although the two bureaucrats in front of them wanted to put Barrett and his party in the prison cells of the guardhouse, the two lawyers, who were well versed in the laws and regulations, did not give them any chance. Of course, if you are facing a group of powerless ordinary people, these security guards in the guard center can naturally ignore the so-called rules and regulations. But these are all iron walnuts with backing behind them. If you bite into it, you'll definitely knock out a lot of teeth.

So in the end, Barrett and his entourage were still under the gnashing expressions of the bureaucrats and were seen out of the gate of the guard. The carriage prepared by the Boreham Merchant House had been waiting here for a long time at this time. As soon as he returned to the mansion, the Ovaltine knights of the Bolim family had already walked back and forth in the mansion a few times.

At the moment when he saw Barrett and his party, the other party only opened his mouth: "Don't worry about today's matter, we can't buckle any basins to your heads in those cabinets." ”

Players who heard this had a happy smile on their faces. Even if he knew that he had the support of two forces behind him this time, even if he had left the city guard that looked like a tiger's mouth, the hearts of the players had never been completely put down before that. Because through Barrett's introduction, they knew the tricks that those court nobles would perform.

However, the attitude of the knight in front of him directly indicates that the Boreham family, and even the fiefdom nobles to which Borem belongs, will carry all the secret targets of those court nobles - that is, the players have not been abandoned because of possible trouble. Although again, players knew before that the possibility of such a scenario was very high. However, it is still a little difficult to feel at ease if someone does not say it in person.

"There's something I'd like to ask Knight Ovaltine about something." Barrett, with a relaxed face, suddenly asked.

The Ovaltine knight touched his goatee and glanced at Barrett: "If you want to ask anything, just ask!" Of course, I can't guarantee that I will answer it. Something, after all. As Barrett Kid, you can't touch it yet. ”

"Of course, I know that my current identity does not have access to all the secrets of the family. Besides, if I were to ask about that, I wouldn't be there with my teammates. As he said this, Barrett motioned to Ovaltine's companion behind him. And there's no fear that this will cause a rift in the party - after all, the unique identities between the players make them never care too much about it. And if it is an aborigine, it is even more aware of the importance of the other party's family secrets, and will never take half a step beyond the thunder pool on this issue.

Barrett's performance made the Ovaltine Knight feel quite satisfied: "If that's the case, then you can ask!" ”

After organizing his language a little, Barrett asked, "Knight, did you notice that the Church was acting too aggressively this time?" Is there some conspiracy behind this? ”

"If you ask something else, I probably don't know. But this time, we couldn't know more about the trouble for those cabinets. If anything, the Church's actions this time have something to do with Barrett and you......" Knight Ovaltine began to tell the secret behind it, which was not a secret.

After all, about the question of the 'Scarlet Hand'. The Pan-Continental Church Union has 'consulted' with the royal side of Nohan many times. The two sides had a full exchange of views and enhanced their understanding. While the talks were beneficial, both camps had reservations about the outcome. Naturally, after finding this incident, the churches, who had been holding their breath for a long time, naturally began to attack immediately.

Barrett, who heard this, immediately frowned: "Behind those guys who sneaked in before Boreham's collar. Not only foreign powers, but also the shadow of the royal family. ”

"That's right! Moreover, the organization that incorporated them was a chamber of commerce led by the court nobles called 'Ignatius'. Although on the surface, they mostly cooperate with foreign nobles, but behind the scenes, they are already under the control of the royal family. Speaking of this, the expression of the Knight of Ovaltine did not look like he had much respect for the royal family - it could be seen that the royal family's behavior in recent years had made the knight class in the kingdom a little dissatisfied. After all, there are some things that should never be done. (To be continued.) )
