Aalto Golden Cathedral.

"What? You demand the execution of the Night's Watch Captain 'Joker'?" Cardinal Gosse, although he had expected Natasha's angry reaction after checking Lucien's physical condition, had no idea that Natasha would be so aggressive and tough.

Natasha's silver-purple eyes were crystal clear, like a dream, and her tone was very serious: "Yes, the clown must be executed." ”

As a cardinal, Gosse was very able to maintain a warm and loving expression, and he said in a kind tone: "Your Royal Highness, Mr. Evans has no problem, there is no death, no paralysis, no disability, why should you pursue it urgently? And it may not have been done by a clown, Mr. Evans may have seen the wrong person at that time, and it is very likely that the cultists of the Silver Horn were pretending." ”

"Bishop Gosse, if you think Lucien has misidentified someone, then let the Joker come forward and accept his identification and questioning, and at the same time use the polygraph of the gods, I think this should make sense of everything. "Natasha is imposing, which has caused a great sense of oppression to Gosse, after all, everyone is also a high-level.

In the face of Natasha's proposal, Gosse was silent for a short time, because both he and the head of the Inquisition had reason to believe that the Joker had done it, and if the Joker was caught lying in full view of the nobles, and the Joker did not follow the normal procedures to hurt an upper-class figure, then the prestige of the Church would be dealt a big blow.

After a while, Gosse continued to say in his kind voice, "Okay. Let's assume that the clown did it. But why would he do this? Obviously, Mr. Evans may have something to do with the evil character of the 'Professor' in the purification sequence. In order to prevent evil from encroaching on the Duchy of Vaorit, Aalto and the nobles, the Joker will take the risk of temptation. ”

"But is there any evidence? Is there real evidence?" Natasha stepped forward, her eyes full of majesty, "Bishop Gosse, this is not the late stage of the Dawn War, and this is not the time when people at the night vigil suspect who the magicians are and who they suspect is related to the magicians, so they can be arrested and interrogated slowly based on suspicion, or directly probed and examined. Today, he could have almost killed Lucien Evans because of his imaginary evil. Is it possible to kill a nobleman tomorrow because of the same suspicion?"

"I don't think any nobleman wants to live in such an environment of trepidation. I don't want to worry about whether a church night watchman will suddenly break into my house and arrest or kill myself with no shadow evidence!"

"Powerful knights may not worry about themselves, but they are also afraid of similar things happening to their wives and children!"

After a few harsh, aggressive words, Natasha's voice grew louder: "Bishop Gosse. On behalf of all the nobles of the Duchy of Vaorit, I demand that the clown be executed. Deter all the night watchmen who dare to break the agreement between the church and the nobility!"

If only it had been hundreds of years ago. There is no need to listen to Natasha's "unreasonable" request, Bishop Gosse thought helplessly, but the confrontation between the North and the South, the rise of the Magic Council. The status of the aristocracy, which itself represents a strong force, has increased rapidly, and when they are united, they can already confront the church on some issues and influence the decisions of the church, and this matter does offend the bottom line of the nobles.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, you are a pious nobleman, and you handled it very well before. And Mr. Evans is not a big deal, and the clown, even if he is guilty, is not yet to the point where he needs to be put to death. Gosse's tone softened, first trying to soften Natasha's hardline stance with her pious beliefs, and then throwing out a low-key, mutually acceptable solution, "It's better to let the inner court of the Inquisition try the Joker and give him the punishment he deserves." ”

Natasha drew a cross on her chest: "Only the truth endures." ”

Then she solemnly said, "I am a devout believer, so I don't want to see a crazy guy like the Clown in the Night's Watch destroy the relationship between the church and the nobility." ”

After speaking, she looked directly at Gosse with both eyes, and passed on her strong will:

"If the clown doesn't die, all the nobles can't be at ease!"

Gosse was silent for a while and said, "Your Highness the Princess, I will convey your request to His Excellency the Cardinal, to Bishop Almorton, after all, I am not in charge of the Inquisition, and only they can make decisions." ”

Natasha nodded: "I believe that His Excellency the Cardinal and Bishop Almorton understand the seriousness of this matter, and I am waiting for the final result." ”

............

In an ordinary villa in Aalto.

The Joker is scrutinizing the information he has gathered, trying to find clues that Lucien Evans has a close relationship with the Professor.

Suddenly, the door was slammed open, and the battle priest Juliana walked in in a panic and anxious: "Captain, quick, run away!"

"Juliana, what's going on? Calm down. The clown looked up and looked at Juliana with that funny smile.

Juliana took two deep breaths: "Captain, the Inquisition has decided to execute you, run away!"

"What?!How is this possible?!" Even the fifth-level knight with an amazing will, the clown couldn't help but be surprised and asked, as if he had a feeling of being abandoned by the whole world. I have worked hard for the Lord, for the Church, and for the Inquisition to fight evil and eliminate darkness, but I will be executed by the Inquisition?!

Juliana didn't know if this secret hiding place had been revealed, so she could only make a long story short: "Captain, at the 'Return Concert' that ended an hour ago, Lucien Evans fell seriously ill in the center of the stage, and was confirmed by the Bishop of Cossell that it was an illness caused by his previous injuries that had not healed, so Natasha was very angry, and no longer compromised, and with the support of the entire aristocracy, she demanded that the church execute you. And judging from the news that Captain Lund ventured to reveal, the church has backed down and is ready to secretly arrest you and then secretly execute you in exchange for the satisfaction and non-publicity of the nobles. ”

"Kill me...... Kill me?" the clown whispered to himself unacceptably, his voice filled with frustration, despair, and confusion. In stark contrast to the exaggerated smiley faces.

Juliana thought he didn't believe it, and quickly explained: "Captain Lund had a bad relationship with us before the Melzer Black Forest incident, and later he was very estranged from us on the surface, so the Magistrate chose him when they recruited the Night's Watch to gather information and arrest you. As soon as he accepted the mission, he took the risk of revealing it to me, and asked me to tell you to escape, leave Aalto, hide somewhere else for a while, and then come back under a different identity. There are several adults in the Inquisition who sympathize with you!"

The clown's whisper to himself stopped, and he stood as if he had lost his soul. Just when Juliana wanted to urge him again. Suddenly he burst out laughing:

"Haha

There was a lot of madness in the laughter.

"Captain, you're all right, are you?" said Juliana worriedly.

The laughter stopped abruptly, and the clown said in an unusually calm tone, "I don't have anything to do, I just think it's very funny." A musician who has a close relationship with evil magicians. A princess with deep roots in the Magical Council. He was able to force the church to execute his most devout and faithful dark guard. This is the church of the magicians. Or is it the Church of the Lord?How can Lord Salde, Lord Amorton, and Lord Gosey, condone and allow such a thing to happen?"

"Captain, don't care what the big guys think, I trust you. Minsk believes in you, Captain Lund believes in you, many of the Night's Watch believe in you, and two of the three adults in the Inquisition sympathize with you! I believe that light will eventually triumph over darkness, and the divine will defeat evil!" Juliana said with a little excitement, as if she was also stimulated.

The clown shook his head: "Juliana, you don't have to worry about my emotions being out of control, how can I control the bloodline of the fifth level without extraordinary will? I will hide well, and then find evidence, testify against Lucien Evans in front of everyone, and return to the inquisition openly." Hehe, it would be best if you could kill Lucien Evans in front of Natasha with your own hands, so that she could watch it but be powerless to recover. ”

"Captain, don't be reckless, Lucien Evans must have a lot of protection and ambush around him at this time, maybe he wants to lure you forward and kill you completely!" Juliana hurriedly reminded.

Although she knew that it was not difficult to control her emotions with the will of a clown and would not make stupid mistakes, she also understood that the bloodline of the dark nature was more or less a little crazy.

The clown's funny smile turned to the window and sneered, "I know the way." Because Lucien Evans was injured at the beginning, others don't know, don't I understand? I don't have time to make a heavy hand, with his knight's self-healing ability, even if he doesn't use medicine, he can fully recover in two or three days at most, and it is impossible to get rid of it for a long time and become a serious disease. He simply took the opportunity to force Natasha to put pressure on the church. How could such a character not prevent me from escaping and taking revenge on him?"

"I'll investigate carefully, and this time I'll catch his tail!" the Joker's eyes were cold on his comical mask.

............

Inside the villa.

"Lucian, are you really sure that the clown will be let go on purpose?" Natasha said a little confused, and then humorously quipped, "Don't tell me you used a crystal ball for divination?"

Lucien looked at her in surprise: "Hey, how do you know the way?"

Then Lucien laughed and said, "Actually, it's just a simple reasoning. Natasha, your position is too tough and demanding, whether it is the cardinal or the head of the inquisition, it is inevitable that they will sympathize with the clown, so it is normal to deliberately leak the news to let him escape. And judging from the case of Salvador the Codex Bearer, and the number of surviving Night's Watch in the Black Forest of Melzer that you confirmed, there are many people in the Inquisition who hate the professor as much as the Joker, and they are likely to have a close connection with the Joker. ”

The tough stance and demands were discussed by the two before.

"I see. But this is only psychological reasoning, and there is no real evidence to back it up, and the cardinal and the Inquisition are very serious about similar matters, so there is a good chance that the Joker will actually be executed, making it difficult for your plan to proceed. Although Natasha admires the Joker's determination and actions to fight evil, she absolutely cannot bear to hurt her friends, and in this regard, she has always been not soft and hesitant, she knows very well which side she should be on, and will not do unnecessary kindness and kindness.

Lucien laughed, "Even if he is executed, there are still so many night watchmen who are aroused by anger and sympathy, and they will definitely not let the professor go." ”

Moreover, "he" should not let go of such an opportunity, if "he" finds something, Lucien thought to himself. This is the important purpose that the clown temporarily added after his temptation and the basis of all the reasoning just now.

"I hope so. Natasha smiled, "That person's information has been given to you, I'm here to help you cover it up, go and come back quickly." ”

............

Viscount Crane, Archon of Aalto City Hall, an old man who did not stimulate his blood but was still energetic in his fifties, his black hair was neatly combed, and his green eyes were as deep as a lake, full of the majesty of a superior person.

After listening to Lucien Evans' concert in the Chant Hall, he returned home with great excitement, unable to sleep for a long time, and had to look at the books he had collected in his living room.

As the clock ticked by, Klein put down the quaint book in his hand and prepared to sleep in his bedroom.

When he took off his coat, changed into pajamas, and habitually arranged his clothes in front of the dressing mirror, he suddenly saw a mysterious person with a black hood and head reflected in the mirror, and he seemed to be on the other side of the mirror, and said in a hoarse and difficult voice:

"Hello, Mr. Sage, long time no see. ”

"Professor?" Klein blurted out in shock, and then subconsciously activated the mage armor, it seems that he has finally become an official mage in the past few years.

He was the original magic apprentice sage, and because of his close relationship with White Honey (Sylvia) and her father, Natasha had information and information, but he never blamed or exposed him.

Crane cautiously turned back, only to find that there was no one behind him, but the black-robed mysterious man was still reflected in the mirror.
