Chapter XXV. Siegel Attorney General

"Ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine, well, the last one."

Villefort first gave Wu Xin the flying squirrel robe, and then counted the hundred silver tulers to Wu Xin one by one, and then said in a very unkind tone: "You guy, why do you still look unhappy after winning money?" ”

Wu Xin really wanted to vomit, and he was very uncomfortable when he used it for several free spells in a row.

Delia never walked away, allowing Wu Xin to borrow her power, and falling immediately after the battle would compromise the integrity of victory, she knew that Wu Xin needed victory and the resources that victory brings.

Villefort said quietly: "This rag is said to make the wearer not afraid of bows and arrows, but I think it is definitely useless against an elite-level longbow, so don't be too complacent." ”

That said, it worked on the longbow of the stalwarts class.

There were quite a few French apprentices around, so Villefort introduced the treasure in this way, and in response Wu Xin leaned close to his ear, as if he had cursed something.

Villefort scoffed, and replied loudly, you lucky islander.

They are very careful to ensure that the relationship between the two sides remains hostile to outsiders.

"Well done!"

"The French lose money and lose people."

As soon as Wu Xin turned around, the Spaniards greeted him one after another.

"Hey, little warlock of England, when are you going to give me a drink?"

"Hey, don't you want to be like this, don't you like the little white face?"

Do you believe that? What a silly girl. ”

There were also several Spanish female trainees who laughed at Wu Xin.

Wu Xin has built up a certain reputation after defeating Belcourt twice in a row, and at least in the apprenticeship, he is already considered a first-class combat force.

"If I have the chance, I will definitely get close to you." Wu Xin said insincerely to the Spanish girls.

"Let's go, let's go see if there are any geese in the cafeteria." Wu Xin then waved to the other apprentices in the English group, indicating that he wanted to treat him again.

The English trainees let out a burst of cheers, and Serhira, who had just practiced with Delia, replied loudly to Wu Xin: "It doesn't seem to be a wild goose, but a big ship entered the harbor this morning and brought a lot of bacon and cheese. ”

"Okay, everyone is going to eat today, I'm in for a treat." Wu Xin wanted to say something more to Delia, but the young priest had already left alone.

"You don't know yet, the big ship that entered the port in the early hours of this morning brought news from London, His Majesty the King has arrested Bishop Fischer and thrown him into the Tower of London, it seems that His Majesty has made up his mind to abolish the queen." Seymour's words surprised Wu Xin, it turned out that her uncle was arrested, no wonder Delia's mood was so bad. "But don't worry too much, even if Bishop Fischer refuses to give in, he will be exiled at best, and there is no record of the kings of England publicly killing bishops. His Majesty the Pope will definitely find him a diocese to be a bishop again, and it is not impossible to give him a large diocese, after all, the loyal and righteous cannot but be praised, and he may have the possibility of becoming a cardinal archbishop in the future. ”

"I hope so." Wu Xin was not very sure of Seymour's words.

The other English trainees did not have these feelings, and they gave Wu Xin a burst of enthusiastic cheers, even when the sea lanes were not blocked by the Barbary pirates, the bacon and cheese from the mainland were very precious on the island, these top ingredients can play a role in the role of nutrients, and have a certain maintenance effect on the samurai's body.

In today's increasingly fierce war at sea, the price has skyrocketed, and it is by no means a food that the knight trainees can afford.

"What was your last arcane? Fireball? "Seymour hasn't seen many arcane arts, but the one Wu Xin just cast is too common.

Wu Xin was worried about Delia in his heart, but he couldn't think of a way, so he could only cooperate with Seymour to boost the morale of his own people: "The fireball technique is a third-level arcane art, with a range of damage, and it can only be used by a fifth-level spellcaster, and my one is called a second-level fireball, which is a first-level arcane art, and can only deal with one enemy." ”

Although Wu Xin's words were different from what he expected, Seymour was still very excited, and he suddenly hugged Wu Xin: "New arcane!" You're a second-level warlock?! ”

After thinking about it for a while, Seymour knew that there was no possibility of secrecy, so after he got Wu Xin's permission, he clapped his palms and signaled everyone to pay attention, and then told the news to the trainees of the other English groups.

"Cesare is a second-level warlock! The arcane that just burned Bordos to the crying dad and called the mother is called the secondary flame ball. ”

After listening to Seymour's explanation, the other English trainees who came to understand one after another let out a louder cheer.

On a balcony next to the playground, two people were watching the cheering English group trainees.

One of the tall knights was none other than the number two of the Knights, Attorney General Siegel.

A very thin and withered man beside him was accompanied by him, and he still maintained a bowing posture, which formed a great contrast with the tall Siegel, like a dwarf and a giant, and his voice was also thin and soft: "Your Excellency the Attorney-General, I am really sorry, I have sent the two strongest men of the knight's apprenticeship to Belcot, but he still can't win. ”

Attorney General Siegel was a little puzzled, and he asked d'Artagnan: "Do you see clearly?" Did he end up using a fireball spell? The d'Artagnan brothers? ”

This short, withered man was d'Artagnan, who was famous in the knightly apprenticeship.

He was referred to as "brother" by Seegal Attorney General, indicating that he was also a formal knight, and all knights called each other brothers, which does not indicate that he was similar to the Attorney General.

'You would ask such a stupid question, and you deserve to be the attorney-general.' ’

D'Artagnan was cursing in his heart at this time, he had long been against it.

After Wu Xin defeated Kevant Siegel, he was originally going to give a piece of territory to the English group, so that Wu Xin could be paralyzed.

However, Siegel Attorney General insisted that he send Belcourt to humiliate Wu Xin.

Attorney General Siegel, though he was a seasoned young man, had almost worn out that instinct in the years of officialdom struggle.

It was evident in the Battle of Rhode Island, and although he played a little role, he was far from the performance that the second man of the Order should have.

Both the Spaniards and the Italians complained about him, but because of the support of the chief of the regiment, and the fact that he had no credit and hard work in that life-and-death battle, he finally retained his position as chief prosecutor.

This time it was even more obvious, Wu Xin defeated Belcot, not only learned from the combat experience, but also once again made clear the hostile attitude, and will not relax his vigilance in a short time.

Not to mention, this will allow Wu Xin to strengthen his position in the English group and get the attention of the Spanish group.

However, when answering, d'Artagnan's head lowered: "The fireball technique is a third-level arcane, he can't get it so quickly, I think it should be a second-level fireball, a first-level arcane spell system." ”

"It turned out to be just a secondary flame ball, this Belcot is really useless." Attorney General Siegel was rather annoyed, but he eventually nodded as if nothing had happened. "Oh, that's nothing. It's not your fault, this kid has been raised by one level, and he should be the power that has awakened recently. However, even if there are a few first-level arcane arts, it is nothing, let him be proud for a few days, just enough for us French lads to have the same hatred. ”

D'Artagnan was unimpressed by Seegal's words as chief prosecutor, and he knew that the trio he had sent out, except for Belcott, a mage, were strong and middle-class, and the other two were all stalwart warriors, and they were not inferior in strength to Kevant, who had an official knighthood.

It's just that there is no backstage, so I have never been able to "accumulate merit" to become a knight.

Of course, he wouldn't say that.

Chief Prosecutor Siegel stroked his hair again, hesitated for a long time, and decided that he must kill Wu Xin's prestige: "You go to find a good hand who has nothing to do with the Knights, don't be afraid to spend money, you must be powerful." ”

He decided to make Wu Xin suffer a little, but he still didn't have the intention to kill.

But d'Artagnan deliberately pretended to be misunderstood, and he said in astonishment: "Looking for an outsider is his life? However, the Master of the Corps has said that we should cherish our limited strength, and this year, only two spellcasters have joined the Knights. The Chief Leader is desperate for a new spellcaster. ”

Siegel originally just wanted to humiliate Wu Xin, but d'Artagnan's words made him angry: "Just a knight apprentice, can't Lord Ben decide his life and death?!" Have you forgotten who has been sheltering you and promoting you, and who has brought you to where you are today, and now I, Siegel, can't be your boss of d'Artagnan? ”

D'Artagnan continued, "But there is also the Knight of Cassano, who protects this little warlock, he is a powerful warrior close to the level of protector.........."

"Bastard!" D'Artagnan continued to tease Siegel's most sensitive nerves.

He jumped up and slapped his d'Artagnan brother hard. "What is Cassano, what's wrong with the high level of the samurai, even if he is stronger than me, is he stronger than the head of Eli Adam, and he still wants to turn the sky upside down as an Italian?"

"No, no, no, Your Excellency the Attorney General, I never meant that, who knows if those rumors are true or not, even if they are true, when his master died in Buda, didn't he see him die together, where can this kind of scumbag who is greedy for life and afraid of death compare to you as the Chief Prosecutor." D'Artagnan knelt down in fear. "The most important thing is that I am just a dog of yours, and I will bite whoever the adult wants me to bite."

"Hmph, you know best." Attorney General Siegel felt a fire of jealousy in his heart that needed to be vented urgently, and he then asked Wu Xin's background: "Have you investigated this Cesare Sibbo's background?" Why did Cassano come to support him? And what about his historical and linguistic talents, as you told me last time? ”

D'Artagnan had been waiting for this question for a long time: "I have repeatedly checked the documents of the garrison and the church, and he is indeed just an ordinary Englishman, and his ancestors have not produced warlocks. Maybe Cassano could change the documents of the guard, but the documents of the church would definitely not be a problem. As for the historical talents, I have confirmed through a few priests who support us, and they do not exceed the range of senior enthusiasts, perhaps the library of his city has a larger collection of books, and he is more studious. His ability to speak several languages can only be attributed to his extraordinary talent, and those who have spoken to him say that although he can speak French and Latin, he is very stiff, and he must have learned it recently. ”

D'Artagnan was indeed inducing Siegel to do so, but he also did the necessary reconnaissance.

Wu Xin's linguistic talent after crossing over was like this, he was only able to use various languages without any literary brilliance, which misled his enemies.

D'Artagnan's investigation is detailed, and the reason why d'Artagnan, who was not from an aristocratic background, was able to become his spokesman was because of his ability to do things.

"There are no powerful warlocks in the ancestors, it is very rare for him to be able to use two-level arcane arts, at most three levels is the limit, this kind of spellcaster, the ability is average, but they are all timid and afraid, when they eat subsidies, they rush fast, and when they use him, they can't see people." D'Artagnan's words are not nonsense, and they are certainly not the truth, and the main reason why spellcasters have formed such a style is that the casting materials are too expensive. "Mages can also rely on diligence and talent to improve their strength, even if the bloodline of a warlock is pure and powerful, he still has to rely on various treasures and ancestral power that stimulate bloodline, except for a few big nobles, how can any other force have a warlock inheritance."

"Then we do yo, let's teach him a lesson." Despite this, Siegel Attorney General still did not move to kill, "In the future, the subsidy will also be deducted from him." ”

However, Meredi had already anticipated her lover's reaction, and with a corresponding plan, d'Artagnan said the most important words: "He has no weaknesses in other aspects, except that the merchant named Sherlock who sent him to the island should have a close relationship with him." After he got the management of the English group, he worked with the merchant on the manure business. ”

"Manure?" Attorney General Siegel did not understand the meaning of these two words.

"According to the Sherlock to the merchants in the town and the landowners in the village, it came from the East, a technique for processing manure into fertilizer." D'Artagnan himself didn't know what manure was all about, he just read it from the book. "He dug several big pits in the town, saying that he wanted to ferment the manure and spread it in the fields, so that he could increase food production, and the fertility of the land would increase, so that he would not have to fallow for a third of the year every year."

"Ridiculous! Mixing feces into food is clearly a conspiracy of the Mother of Plagues! Attorney General Siegel jumped at once. The believers of the Mother of Plagues are not heresies who may be saved, but the kind of heresies that are to be eradicated as soon as they see them, the most abominable of heretics, the believers who are close to the devil and demons. ”

"That's right, Attorney General Siegel is really reactive, and I thought about it for a long time before I understood what was going on." D'Artagnan patted the ass very naturally. "After careful investigation, I found out that there was indeed something wrong with this Sherlock, and he never went to the church in the town for so many days after he came to the island. And Cassano and Cesare also go to church surprisingly infrequently. ”

"Then why don't you arrest them right away! This is a crime that should be burned at the stake. "Even if it is his own friend, if he becomes a cultist who spreads the plague, Chief Prosecutor Siegel will kill his relatives in righteousness, not to mention that Wu Xin is his enemy in the first place.

"That's right, although this Sherlock's current bad deeds are very obvious, but he is good at agitation, and he also promotes a method called test field, that is, to use it in a small area first, prove feasible and then promote, and many of the gentlemen and landlords in the town have been bewitched by him." D'Artagnan had already made a move, but most of the squires felt that Shylock's plan was entirely feasible and the risks were manageable.

In the final analysis, there is a real need for more food production on the island of Malta, and it is the greatest justice of any plane to eat.

"What a cunning! It seems that not only the Plague Lord, but even a follower of a certain Devil Lord may have been involved in the planning. "The Attorney General feels a great responsibility on his shoulders." At this point, the captain of the Cassano garrison, who was in charge of the island's security, had an unshirkable responsibility, or at least a dereliction of duty, and even a more terrible possibility. ”

D'Artagnan tilted his head lower: "I will do my best to carry out your instructions, and I will look for eyewitnesses and related physical evidence among the villagers of his secret sacrifice to the devil and the mother of plagues, and I think there will be progress soon." ”

In fact, d'Artagnan is not going to carry it out, but is already doing it, and of course it is not the instructions of the Attorney General of Siegel, but the orders of others.

He also only carried out the man's instructions and made Siegel think that this was his own instructions.

Siegel was satisfied with the thorough investigation and solution: "Let's do it, hurry up, wait until the chief of the clan and Cardinal Picromini come back together, and then it will be inconvenient to execute or exile Cassano, we have to focus on the overall situation of the Knights." ”

d'Artagnan nodded abruptly, "I see." ”

"If things are done, I won't treat you badly." Siegel waved his hand, signaling d'Artagnan to leave.

D'Artagnan, who had been kneeling on the ground, dared to get up, and he asked again: "By the way, do you want to inform Cardinal Gonzaga." ”

Siegel hesitated for a moment and waved his hand: "No need, His Highness the Cardinal's time is too precious, and he is Italian, and the main target this time is Cassano." ”

D'Artagnan bowed again and walked out of the room step by step: "Yes, everything is up to you. ”

"Alright, let's take care of it." Attorney General Siegel smelled a scent and had no intention of saying more.

Villefort slowly withdrew from the room.

At this time, Segal's lover Meredi walked in with a cup of milk tea.

Their eyes intertwined, and Villefort nodded naturally to Meredi.
