Verse 535: Der Spiegel (2)

At 5 o'clock this morning, the old white head of the Hagelberry family heard the news of his cousin's death from the military.

Poor Kades, may his Lord have mercy on him.

Hagelberry could only do the same, and unlike the beliefs of Kaedus, he could only bless his cousin with the salvation and death of a human being, though more often than not, it was only an extravagant hope.

But according to the messenger of the military, it was a blessing that His Excellency had done the final purification for his cousin, and the elder Hagelberg thanked him with great heart,

As Jon and Link of the Svensson family, the young representatives of the military today, walked down the hall, Hagelberg could hear the argument going on inside.

He was very curious about the number of church representatives standing outside, many of whom were members of the Church of Love.

As the group of three was entering the hall, they saw an old church lady passing by them, and when they entered the hall, Hagelberg turned his head and saw the assistant priest of the Church of Love.

What's going on.

Hagelberry glanced at the hall in curiosity.

It is a good thing that His Majesty Mannheim sits there without joy or sorrow.

The Prime Minister, His Excellency Poole Sanders, whose waist circumference is longer than his height, is weeping, which is also a good thing.

Beside him, sat his wife, Isabella Alan, her eyes red and she looked like she had been crying for a long time, and it was a good thing, and Hagelberry wanted to give a standing ovation to this hero who could make the Iron Rooster family cry.

It was supposed to be the Rondo assistant priest of the Goddess of Harvest and the iron rooster of the Alan family who quarreled before.

"Hello, Your Majesty." The assistant priest was already standing in the middle, and he saluted His Majesty: "Is there anything you need to ask me?" ”

His Majesty Mannheim signaled that someone would ask the priest in his place, and that he was sitting a little crooked to-dayβ€”his left hand resting on the armrest of the throne with his elbow, and his chin resting on it.

It's a bit of a faux pas, but considering that Your Majesty is Your Majesty, no one will take this little rudeness to heart.

"When did Lord Marlin come to you yesterday night?" The questioner was Sgrim Alan, who was also red-eyed, the contemporary head of the Alan family.

He also seemed to have cried, which forced Hagelberry to prick up his ears in the hope of hearing some pleasant stories.

As for Lord Marin...... Hey, what else is Lord Marlin worried about, that's a legendary mage.

"I don't know, we were handing out black bread at nineteen o'clock, I asked Mama Ailian, she said that when Your Excellency came, she checked the bread bucket and confirmed that there was only one piece of bread in it, at that time, it should have been about nineteen thirty o'clock in the evening, if Mama Ailian's words are different from me, it should be that she is too old and forgetful."

Q: Where is Lord Marin? This made Hagelberry a little curious, and he glanced at the two young men of the Svensson family and saw that they were communicating something.

Well...... The military knows about this puzzle?

This made old Hagelberry even more curious, what kind of dumb riddle are you guys playing.

"Have you seen any contact with a carriage since His Excellency Marlin left?" Lord Sgrim continued his question.

"No, I was in the mansion, and at that time Lord Marin brought back the ashes of Lord Caedus, and I held it and put it in Lord Caedus's bedroom, and when I came out, I heard that a carriage was burning on the road, and by the time I ran out, the carriage had burned to a shelf." This assistant priest of the Church of Love answered with reason and reason.

"Thank you, Mr. Priest." Seeing that he couldn't seem to ask any valuable information from the mouth of the assistant priest, Shi Gram turned his head to look at the court mage after speaking: "Your Excellency the court mage, you are proficient in the technique, do you think this is the flame of the technique, or the fault of natural ignition." ”

"It took less than half a minute for the whole carriage to burn to ashes from the beginning, which is obviously an unnatural fire, and I can't do it at this rate." The half-step legendary court mage replied in a cold tone, looking like he didn't want to get involved at all.

No one dared to accuse this lady that it was she who saved Mannheim at the cost of her inability to rise to legend when Her Majesty was young with her.

So Sgrim closed his mouth again, and then seemed to look at the church side unwillingly: "Why hasn't Marlin come yet!" ”

Hagelberry raised his eyebrows - the carriage, on fire, dead?

The old man thought about it, and finally asked his old friend around him without shame: "What's the matter?" ”

"You don't know that last night there was an accident in the carriage in which Prime Minister Sanders's second son and Sgrim's second daughter were riding, and the two young men and the gray-robed guard who was responsible for their safety died." Hagelberg's old friend, Halfling Thomas Sixfinger, replied in a low voice: "The scene is extremely rich in fire elements, and at least the one who does it is the foundation of the legendary spellcaster. ”

"Then how did this matter get to His Excellency Marin, just because he was at the scene of the incident?" Hagelberry asked in surprise - this Alan family and the Sanders family are afraid of dying, just because Lord Marlin is nearby, they believe that he is the murderer?

What are you kidding, even if he kills him, can you still let him pay for his life?

"Who gave you courage! Call the name of the Venerable Duke of Farol, the husband of the Queen of Farol! Sgram! You audacious transgressor! "Someone from the church stepped forward, and it was the assistant priest from the Goddess of Harvest church before.

"He's now a suspected possible murderer!" Sgrim yelled.

"Sgram! You're slandering the Chosen Champions of the Three Churches! You are slandering the legendary mage husband of the legendary shaman, Lady Maya! I'll give you ten seconds to reorganize your language! Otherwise, I'll report everything you say to church! "Mr. Priest is also very short-tempered.

Then, without accident, the conversation between the two sides broke up unhappily, and everyone's majesty waved his hand, and with his actions he shut up the two who were about to flip their lips.

Hagelberg muttered as he saw His Excellency Lagerlof Dendel of the Mage Tower walk in, and he saluted everyone in the hall with a mage salute: "The on-site investigation is over, Your Majesty, we have overturned the previous conclusion, the murderer is not a legendary mage, because there is no reaction of the spell casting material at the scene, but a large number of psionic reactions are left in a certain position, which also proves why the fire element is so rich." ”

"Legendary psykers? I remember that Lord Marlin was not a legendary psyker. Someone said this, and Hagelberg glanced at the person who said this, and saw that it was His Excellency Mendel Eriksson of the Church of the God of War.

With the members of the church speaking, the hall was a little lively, Hagelberg stood there expressionlessly, in fact, his heart was already happy - the death of Sgrim's second daughter and Sanders's second son, the two families obviously have no suitable candidate to continue the marriage, what will these two families do next, it will definitely lead to reverie, the problem now is that the murderer should be a legendary psyker and not a legendary mage, everyone knows that Marin is a legendary mage and not a psyker, so It can be regarded as indirectly clearing the suspicion of Lord Marin...... Are these two families messing with something that shouldn't be messed with?

Legendary psionics, this is a rarer existence than wizards.

Hagelberg thought as he saw His Majesty's Mannheim most important dwarf messenger enter the hall.

"Your Majesty, the honorable Prince Marin is here."

With the roll call of the dwarf messengers, Hagelberg saw Lord Marin walking into the hall wearing the priest's robe and wearing a sword.

"Wait a minute, how did his sword get in?" Someone asked, "Guard! Took his sword! ”

"This is the reward of the Lord of Justice, do you want it?" Lord Marlin smiled and unbuckled the clasp and threw the sword sheath to the big mouth, who hurriedly took the sword, confirmed it, and returned it to Marin in shock.

"Forgive me for being blind, Your Excellency." The believers in this just God almost knelt down.

With his words, there were originally some guys who were ready to move and immediately closed each other's stinky mouths.

Lord Marin carries the sword of the Lord of Justice...... Hagelberg gasped, what His Excellency did made the old man of Hagelberg understand one thing - the so-called people who come are not good, and those who are good do not come, I am afraid that something will happen today.

Thinking of this, Hagelberg shrank into the crowd, and at the same time noticed that his old friend Thomas was also squeezing in.

What are you doing here?

It's too cold.

The two old friends completed a communication with their eyes.

"Your Excellency Marin, where were you at about 7:30 p.m. last night?" His Majesty Mannheim finally opened his mouth at this time.

"I happened to be sending His Excellency Kades home at that time, and Mama Elaine of the Church of Love, and His Excellency the Priest who was sitting there could testify for me." Lord Marlin's answer was very cold, sounding as cold and unforgiving as a cold wind.

"Have you ever seen a carriage?" Lord Sanders asked.

"Do you think I haven't seen a carriage?" His Excellency Marin's rhetorical question made the vast majority of the audience laugh.

"Lord Marin, please don't change the topic of Lord Alan, last night, I and Lord Alan's child were killed, and we have reason to suspect that you are the murderer." Prime Minister Sandney's question made Marin seem to be silent for a moment.

Then under Hagelberg's gaze, the Prince of Farol smiled and nodded.

"So those two little crumbs are your children." His Excellency Marin replied.

Hagelberry wiped his forehead in the crowd.

Twenty years old? A legendary mage, and a legendary psyker?

Never before has old Hagelberry felt that there was a gap between people so truly.

The scene was chaotic, and almost everyone didn't care about what Marin said, but confirmed their position - if the next fight started, it was not a question of who was the enemy and who was the friend, but how to stand so as not to be affected.

This is a very fatal answer, and I can't ask for it.

"Do you hear that? He's a murderer! Guardsman! Schram laughed loudly, his eyes filled with tears: "Guard! ”

None of the guards stood up, and their master, Mannheim, leaned on the throne, looked at Lord Marin and asked, "Lord Marin, those are just two children, why did you kill them?" ”

"Two children, let me restore what happened last night." Marin shook his head, and as he spoke, the points of light of the elements began to gather in the hall, and time traveled in a different way?

Although Hagelberg did not know the true effect of this spell, it was clear that Lord Marin did not expect to kill the nobles in front of so many members of the church.

With the complete arrangement of the elements, it seemed that the lights in the hall were also insufficient, and everyone saw the view under the night, and saw the carriage stop beside Lord Marin, and when a piece of black bread that could bounce off the ground was thrown out of the rolled down window, the head of the Elan family and Prime Minister Sanders, who were still abusive, were silent like chickens with their necks choked.

And when the coachman pressed his hand to the holster, and when Lord Marlin picked up the little piece of black bread, Hagelberg already understood why something had happened, and Lord Marin could stand up and scold them, but finally picked up the bread and ate it...... This murderous intent can be seen by anyone.

Insulting a legend, no matter what kingdom it is, is a crime that is dead and alive.

There is no need for a trial, the legend takes matters into his own hands, and to kill is to kill.

"Your Excellency! Why! Can't you scold my child! He did it wrong! Can't you spare his life! "Prime Minister Sanders' questions were bloody, and his wife had fainted.

"You're Prime Minister Sanders, how old are your children?" Marin asked a rhetorical question.

"Nineteen." Prime Minister Sanders replied as he wiped tears from his eyes.

"Nineteen years old, do you know, I was on the front line yesterday afternoon, fighting against chaos for a whole afternoon, those young people who died in front of me, they were only eighteen or nineteen years old, and there were a few, obviously less than seventeen years old, your second son is a child, then they are also children, everyone is a child, why fate has divided their life path, they died on the battlefield, in the end there is only a handful of ash and a box to represent that they have been in this world, and your child, but can sit in the carriage, He was so generous with his fiancΓ©e, and threw a piece of black bread at the serf on the side of the road, reaping the rightful thanks, and showing his kindness to his lover. ”

Speaking of this, His Excellency Marin laughed loudly: "My education made me understand that even a piece of black bread soaked with sand is food, and it should not be wasted, but you and the children of Shi Gramqing don't understand, this is not to blame, because they are not on the battlefield, I don't know that yesterday afternoon, my field rations were just a bowl of wood stem soup and half a piece of black bread, the kind of sawdust with bread added to it, it is very hard, it can only be soaked in soup and eaten, none of those children complained, They just ate their last lunch and died generously. ”

At this point, the whole hall was silent, and Hagelberg recalled his past words and deeds, and was relieved to find that he did not seem to have shown a wasteful appearance in receiving His Excellency Marin, and then had the illusion of the rest of his life.

…… No, it's not an illusion, it's the aftermath of the catastrophe.

Because Hagelberg saw the Paladins of the Lord of Justice walking up, led by the local Grand Knight Captain, the young man was recognized as having a bright future.

And now, the young man knelt down on one knee behind Marin and said in a deep voice: "Dear Excellency Marin, just as you think, we have found dozens of books and correspondence in the homes of sinners Sanders and sinners Sgram, and the evidence of their crimes is clearly written on them, as well as the sinners in charge of transactions and actions, all of which have been seized, and the inquisitors of the church are recording confessions, and I believe they will be sent to you soon." ”

With that, the two paladins behind him came to the hall with the ledger and the letter and put them on the ground.

"You have done a good job, get up, and tell everyone that you don't have to do this when you see me later." After Marin finished speaking, he looked back at everyone's majesty: "Your Majesty Mannheim, do you need to take a look?" ”

The hall was dead at this moment.

And Hagelberg stepped on the step in the spirit of watching the excitement - our Lord Marin, this is about to kill people and exterminate the race.
