21 Absurd farce

A scream broke the silence of dawn and woke up many in the riverside estate. Then, as if prepared, several cries of terror rang out one after another.

It seems that something terrible has happened.

Bernie woke up, and after opening his eyes and looking at the unfamiliar curtains, he got up and gave a hache, and then looked sideways at a sleeping figure in the corner of the room.

Drugged, stuffed, and planted.

The process that happened last night was roughly similar to what he had guessed, and while he was "asleep", someone secretly opened the door and stuffed people in.

Now the step has come to plant the stakes.

It was just to his surprise that the person they stuffed in was not a woman, but a man......

Walking over to the man in the corner, Bernie crouched down and patted the other man on the head.

Then, as he opened his eyes dimly, he said in a serious tone, "Who are you?" How did you get to my room? ”

In the corner, a boy who looked to be twelve or thirteen years old, had been slow to wake up, but he was a little unhappy when he heard this.

"Who are you, this is my home, how could it be your-"

Halfway through his speech, he reacted suddenly, and hurriedly got up from the ground and looked around, his originally annoyed expression suddenly gloomy.

"Which bitch is that dog mongrel!"

He cursed and walked out of the door, just as a servant came and knocked hurriedly, and bumped into the boy and came out of it, full of horror.

"Master Clifford, you ......"

"What am I, get out of the way!" The boy pushed the other man away, "I want to see who took me-"

Halfway through speaking, he jerked his head up at the manservant.

"Who called you here?"

"Nobody called me over, young master, it's-"

"What are you doing so early without anyone?"

The boy questioned as he looked at Bernie in the room, "Disturbing our guests?" ”

"No, young master, it's the other deacons who are in trouble......

"What's going on?" The boy continued to question.

"This ......"

The servant's face hesitated when he heard this, but the young man already glared at him impatiently, and stepped forward to check it out for himself.

"Is there someone else in some of the deacon's rooms?" Bernie, who walked over, then asked.

"Yes, Lord Deacon."

The servant hurriedly said, "And they are still ...... They also ...... Let's see for yourself. ”

Bernie nodded.

The deacons' rooms were not far away, and they had reached the scene of the crime within a few steps, and Bernie saw some absurdities.

Covering their hips and wailing, screaming in fear, dying and even dying......

These weren't a few church deacons, of course, but some guests who had come to the feast. In contrast to them were the gloomy or pale faces of the other three new deacons, except for Bernie.

There were still some blood stains on the floor of their room, and as the people gathered around them stared blankly, they silently showed what had happened last night.

"Someone is persecuting us, Deacon Bernie!"

A new deacon, who was quite familiar, screamed when he saw Bernie, his own man, and exclaimed with a sad expression:

"There's no one else, just us, just us—uh, why are you okay?"

He suddenly noticed some different details about Bernie than they did, and he was a little stunned.

"God's blessing." Bernie said, this is not a lie, he has a talent for immunity to poison, and it is strange to be hit.

"It seems that we have encountered an evil temptation. Deacon Theodore, what the hell is going on here? Bernie then asked.

He also came from the investigative team, but only some core personnel knew Bernie's specific identity, and the others only knew that Bernie had been in the church for a short time, but his promotion was very fast, which was highly valued by Bishop Rhodes.

Therefore, Bernie's unconventional appearance made the conjecture that they had previously guessed, that someone was persecuting them, and that they were descended from Rhodes.

But it is an indisputable fact that he was framed by the fact that he was shaken, so in the face of the suspicious eyes of the people around him, the deacon named Theodore began to tell the story of last night.

Roughly after coming to the room after the banquet and eating supper, he suddenly had a dream that made him ashamed in his deep sleep, only to wake up and find a person lying next to him.

"I believe Deacon Theodore is innocent."

After the new deacon finished telling his "story", an old man standing there not far away who was trembling and a little unsteady said with a complicated face: "Someone must have done something to do this, I fell asleep after eating supper, and I don't know anything......

Apparently, he was the one who lay next to him last night.

The other people were basically in a similar situation, and they met some old and ugly ones, which made Bernie secretly wonder why the one in his room was a beautiful little boy?

Is there a difference in treatment for this kind of thing......

However, after hearing the situation, no one suspected that these deacons were "drunk and disorderly".

However, the onlookers still looked at them very strangely, this kind of look made several parties annoyed and ashamed, imagine if the news spread, even a little desperate.

However, the atmosphere did not last so awkwardly, because immediately after that, there was a sudden and terrible cry from upstairs.

The second floor where they were located was the guest room area, and the upper floor was the private residence of the Cambore family, and when they heard the noise, people immediately guessed that there must be something going on within the Cambore family.

The guests hurried in that direction, but the staircase was blocked by a guard, and they could not go up at all without the consent of the host.

So they could only stay on the second floor, listening to the rush of footsteps and many panicked shouts upstairs.

For a while, what happened above became a matter of concern.

Victimized deacons are then given the opportunity to deal with their own problems.

For example, immediately inform the church of what is happening here, reassure the other half of the victims, wait for the church to question, and prepare the rites of repentance and cleansing for the victims.

The deacon, Theodore, even wrote a letter to Bishop Rhodes directly using the Help-Seeking Relic to explain what was happening here.

But before they could finish their work, a hurried figure ran down from the direction of the third floor, and begged the deacons to go up and help.

Although they were still too busy to take care of themselves, it was good to have other things to relieve their embarrassing situation, so several deacons eagerly went upstairs.

Bernie and them, on the surface, were serious, but in fact quietly observed what was happening at this time.

Grief-stricken victims, gossip-filled bystanders, panicked servants, and the solemn and strange demeanor of some of the core members of the Cambore family on the third floor.

"Father was ...... last night Hit hard and in dire need of treatment. ”

Seeing the deacons coming, the young nobleman named Livay Cambore, the heir of the Cambore family, said in a trance: "We have sent someone to ask for help from Vice-Bishop Victor, but it will take some time. If any of the deacons have a way now, I hope to help him as soon as possible. ”

In fact, if the body is not too fragile, it does not need to be treated by a transcendent person at the bishop level, and ordinary potions and healing holy water can do the trick.

So one of the deacons hurried into the room, while the others asked for details.

It's just that this kind of thing seems to be very embarrassing, and the young nobles are obviously reluctant to say more.

But since they all happened at the same time, I think the situation is similar to theirs.

Hence the outrage that some people have expressed in this regard.

"Not only the blasphemy of the clergy, but even the old earl did not let go, such an evil act, they must be the species of poisonous snakes, the conspiracy of the devil!"

"Maybe the person behind it is a believer in the devil, and we must investigate this matter strictly!"

"That's right, it must be investigated!"

……

They were very indignant, but the young nobleman next to them was quite bitter about it.

If the victims were only a few of the deacons of Rhodes, the whole thing would have gone smoothly.

Because he has a perfect pot thrower with ample preparation-

A while ago, Bishop Rhodes's widespread trial affected many people, and the son of one of his chefs was sanctioned and died in the trial.

If it's a normal person, then it's really nothing. But the chef was a hidden heretic.

The young aristocracy had already discovered this.

But because he thought that he might be able to use this heretic to achieve something within the family, he pretended not to know.

So when he reached a deal with Bazel, he suddenly thought of that guy.

So what happened last night was actually prepared by the pagan chef and his wife, who was the head maid.

During this period, he just secretly guided it, and it wasn't even a guide, but he just "inadvertently" said some words of reminder.

So under normal circumstances, after this incident, even if the church investigates, it will only investigate the chef, and not him.

At the same time, even if he was interrogated, he was not very afraid.

On the one hand, there is the covert protection of the local church, and on the other hand, he has certain means of resisting transcendent questioning.

He didn't even think about it when it came to damaging the reputation of the entire Cambore family.

Because the current head of the Cambore family is his father, not him, and there are some mismanagement problems, which is also his father's responsibility.

So, everything is complete.

If nothing had happened to his father......

Why does this error occur?

Did the servant eat the wrong meal?

Or did the cook think that he couldn't escape the punishment of the church, so he simply pulled a big man on his back?

Or is there someone else in this?

The young nobleman had no idea why, but he understood what the consequences would be.

There were many tacit understandings between the nobility and the church, including ensuring that the lives of the nobles were safe from evil.

And if a nobleman of the earl level dies in a situation where someone is obviously poisoned, then the matter will escalate to a serious incident in the diocese, and it will be fully investigated by the diocese.

It was a completely different level of attention than he had imagined that his father would fall to his death.

And if he is fully investigated, can his actions be hidden?

If he can't hide it, will his church allies still be able to keep him safe?

Or, if he is investigated, will those people treat him as an ally or as a ...... Hidden trouble?

The young nobleman's expression was a little uncertain because of this, listening to the noise coming from the room, but it was different from the previous mentality, hoping that his father would survive and not die.

Bernie, who was watching from the sidelines, noticed the change in his demeanor, so he secretly mocked. But he wasn't in the mood to pay attention to what this man was thinking.

Or maybe he didn't even pay much attention to the physical condition of the old earl in the room.

On the surface, Bernie was mixed in with the crowd like a bystander, seemingly waiting seriously with the others outside the room for the outcome of the situation inside, but in fact his mind was no longer there.

Instead, it was transferred to the world of black fog.

In other words, it is a player who is already level 10 corresponding to the Black Mist World.
