Chapter 91: Security
"Uncle Joel, Aunt Elisa, and Aven, are they all right?" Lucien asked quickly and with concern, not suppressing his emotions.
And this kind of performance is the most normal performance of an ordinary person after hearing Natasha's words!
Although Lucien had already killed Jensen and the knight squires who were guarding the prison, and made the Silver Horn lose the ability to execute the pledge, he did not dare to rescue him directly, so as not to expose his true purpose, so after leaving the ruins, he had been worried that Joel's family would be affected by the battle and die, so at this time, the emotions were sincere and appropriate, and would not let anyone doubt them.
Natasha was a little embarrassed, she liked to charge ahead, she didn't care about the identity and safety of the princess and countess, and directly followed Camille to find the conspirators in the Black Forest, and then rushed into the underground ruins with Camille for the first time, fighting and chasing the cultists, and the matter of saving the pledge was just handed over to another knight who followed, but fortunately, the ending was not bad:
"When I returned, I confirmed that all the hostages, including your uncle's family, had been rescued. We encountered it very suddenly, and the cult retreated in such a hurry that we didn't have time to hurt them. ”
"Then I'm relieved. Lucien showed a tired but satisfied and happy smile, this rescue operation is completely walking a tightrope, every link is a little wrong, it is the result of being burned at the stake or being dug into the heart, and finally succeeded, in addition to the advantages brought by information asymmetry, there is also a lot of luck component, I just hope that I will not encounter this kind of difficult and high-risk thing again in the future, "What about Uncle Joel and them?"
Camille replied to Natasha: "They have been severely traumatized physically and mentally and are being treated by the church, as well as inquiry. ”
"Don't worry, Lucien, they are the victims, the church just wants to ask something about the keeper of the 'Silver Horn', hehe, Aunt Camille, the sword you raided the 'Silver Horn' High Priest caused such a big reverberation in the ground, almost stunned these weak poor people, I don't know when I will become a knight. Natasha added.
Due to Lucien's timing, the sound of Camille's incarnation tide crashing on the ground and "Homanz's choking" were only two or three seconds apart, and they were completely the same sound echoing in the sealed cell's in-depth ears.
Lucien asked curiously, "What is the Silver Horn?"
"It's the group of villains who kidnapped your uncle's family and threatened you, they are believers in the devil, they call themselves the Silver Horns, you have to be careful of them in the future. Natasha explained: "Their white spoon minds have been completely blinded by the devil, and in the previous pursuit, as soon as they were discovered, they would immediately shout 'Return to eternal and unchanging silence' and blow themselves up, giving us no chance to be captured alive." ”
Speaking of this, Natasha still has a little heart palpitations, although she has benefited from the mixing of the two best bloodlines and her own talent, she is only one step away from the knight in her twenties, and she also has a lot of combat experience, but she Bi Jing is a noble princess, and she has never encountered too much danger and such a cruel and shocking thing.
It is precisely because of this emotional influence that she will say so many words to Lucien to relieve her inhibitions.
"Didn't you catch those bastards?" Lucien asked with concern and hatred, feeling that his acting skills were very good.
Natasha raised her head slightly, her suppressed emotions dissipated, and she became proud: "I grabbed a priest with a silver horn, and then through some means, I knew that part of the purpose of their white spoon was sealed, and the right hand of an evil and powerful creature was sealed in the depths of that underground ruin, but unfortunately it had been taken away by them. ”
In pursuit, Camille, Almorton and Gosett let the two high priests "escape", and the others didn't even see the backs of the cultists, and some watched the priests and priests blow themselves up, and only Natasha captured one alive with her strong strength, which made her feel a little proud in her heart.
Lucien raised his heart: "I don't know what other purposes of Lu Dao are, why do they want to find out your information about Your Royal Highness Princess?" ”
The priest did not know what to do, they were all acting according to orders, as if only the high priest knew it. It really seems like a big conspiracy. Natasha touched her chin.
Camille added coldly: "After the end of the pursuit, the church has notified the bishops, priests, and vigils left behind, and arrested all the problematic recruits of the intelligence department, and I believe that I can learn something from them." ”
"And what about the kidnappers who followed me?" asked Lucien knowingly.
Natasha pointed outside, "Maybe he got a warning from the 'Silver Horn' and escaped early." Okay, Lucien, I just wanted to thank you on the way, the strength of the 'Silver White Horn' is beyond expectations, and if they don't destroy their White Spoon plot in time, I am afraid it will cause irreparable damage." Hehe, when you told me, I actually only half believed it in my heart, but after investigation, I completely believed it. ”
"This is my glory. Lucien replied politely.
At this time, Camille's expression suddenly froze, and after nearly a minute, he said to Natasha with a serious face: "All the information agents who have gone wrong point to Viscount Stuart, and Viscount Stuart committed suicide before the bishop and several earls rushed over. ”
Things changed a lot, Camille didn't care about Lucien next to him, and directly told Natasha.
Viscount Stuart is the highest head of the duchy's intelligence service, a knight-to-be.
Natasha subconsciously waved her right hand to the side, and the armor arm made a crisp and pleasant metal collision sound, and then she squinted her eyes, with a lazy smile and a dangerous momentum, and said: "Maybe there is a real mastermind behind Viscount Stuart, who could it be?
After finishing speaking, she remembered that this was the guest room where Lucien lived, so she put on the armor and gloves that shimmered with the cold light of milky white metal, and waved her hand to Lucian: "Things are more troublesome than expected, I have to go back to Latasha Palace to deal with it." I will tell the church about your stimulation of blood and blood strength, as I agreed before. ”
After a pause, Natasha said slightly apologetically: "But you are only the strength of a quasi-knight, according to the legal code, it is difficult for me to canonize you as an official knight, grant you a knighthood, and if the matter is spread out, don't enter may just be jealous, but the remnants of the Silver and White Horn' will definitely be able to guess that it was you who informed, so as to take revenge madly." ”
"This will put you in great danger, and the Principality's intelligence service and the church vigil have suffered serious losses this time, and I am afraid that they will not be able to provide you with reliable protection in the short term. ”
"In a few months, when the effects of this matter have faded, I will give you a manor under the pretext of something else. ”
"Your Royal Highness, this is too precious...... Lucien subconsciously refused, because in his heart, Aalto is not a place for him to settle down and establish a home, and it is better to give money or material rewards in comparison.
Natasha waved her hand and said very seriously: "As the head of the Violet family, as an earl, I have never been stingy, as long as my 'knights' have contributed and have merit, I will definitely give equivalent rewards and encouragement." Fair rewards and punishments have been the cornerstone of the Vaorit family for more than a thousand years, and Lucien, you can't let me lose this good virtue. ”
"And if you hadn't gotten the information in advance this time, I'm afraid it would have been difficult for the Silver Horn to suffer such a serious setback, hehe, although your intelligence deviated very far, but fortunately caught up. Lucian, how did you determine the location?"
Lucien knew that sooner or later he would ask about this, and quickly said the reason why he had thought of it a long time ago, that is, from the "Ball of Vision", he saw a small bird called "Silver-throated Turtledove" flying outside the hut by the ranger, and this kind of bird, most of the people who went to the Melzer Black Forest to pick up mushrooms, the most common location of Itozhi Dao is the forest near the remnant vein of the peak of "Kapko", of course, seeing the "Silver-throated Turtledove" does not mean that the remnant vein of the peak of "Kapko", it is possible in other places, such as this time.
Natasha nodded, put on the helmet but did not pull off the mask, and the whole entry looked even more heroic: "That's it, in a few months, I will find an excuse to give you a manor, as for the excuse, Lucian, you hurry up and compose a piece of music that I like." ”
"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this great reward, Your Highness the Princess. Lucien had no choice but to thank him.
Natasha took a step forward, stepped out of the ledge, and suspended in mid-air, although she was not a knight, but the "Blood Dragon Armor" had its own ability to fly.
Before flying away with Camille, Natasha suddenly turned around: "As a quasi-knight, how can you not have a knight's sword, Lucian? ”
"Hehe, in fact, it is difficult for you to move forward on the road of knighthood, music is what you need to work on, Lucian, you must not be confused, a young and handsome musician is very popular with girls, even if you don't pursue it, you have the initiative. ”
"Ha, the silver moon is dreamy and beautiful tonight, I wonder if you are interested in walking and admiring the moon together?"
"......" Lucien watched her figure fly into the darkness with Camille, and felt that this guy was really in danger of hurting his friends.
After making sure that Joel's family was safe and that the possibility of suspicion was slim, Lucien finally relaxed completely, and the deep exhaustion from the depths of his soul could no longer be suppressed.
"The most important thing is to find out the location of the headquarters of the Magic Council from Mr. Rhein as soon as possible, and when I have the ability to leave Aalto, I will quickly find an excuse to go out, the city with a strong church is too dangerous. With the joy of the matter being settled, Lucien pondered the matter of Ming Yu before falling into a deep sleep.
