Chapter 69: Investigation
"Blengue has joined the Dark Templar Paladin?!" Tarrant exclaimed.
Ryan nodded, his heart heavy, "We've confirmed that he's joined the Dark Temple Paladins. ”
The Paladin, it's hard to describe what kind of organization it is, it can only be described like this, when the world has the first light at the same time, the darkness will come into being behind the dawn, if the paladin is compared to this light, then the Dark Temple Paladin is darkness, born with the light.
Paladins who swear allegiance must adhere to all virtues and justice, under the almost cruel code, it is inevitable that some people choose to give up and leave the protection of the Lord God, this is an irreversible betrayal, no matter which god they believe in, as a Paladin, as long as they betray or make a mistake, they will be punished by the Lord God, they will be deprived of the Holy Knight's holy status, become sinners abandoned by the gods, and never return to the faith.
With the first paladin who reneges on the faith, there will be a second, Third, when the number of this group continues to increase, an organization is naturally born, they call themselves the paladins of the Dark Temple, they used to have the most glorious aura, they used to be heroes in the eyes of the people, they used to be the apostles of God in the mortal world, but at this moment, they are a group of people without faith, they are a group of people without good and evil, rich combat ability and tenacious will to resist create their extraordinary combat effectiveness, even without divine grace, without protection, they are still excellent warriors.
The unbearable and tortured they endured in the practice of the Paladin, after becoming the Paladins of the Dark Hall, they have intensified their demands for repayment, and they are the most depraved angels.
On the Redstone Continent, the Dark Temple Paladins are one of the few organizations that cannot be defined as good and evil, and they once exterminated an underworld group in Komohe, killing all of its members simply because they collected protection money from a newsboy who had fought the Redstone Balance Emissary in the Forest, in order to eat the rabbit meat of the forest. They treat their lives as a joke, an organization that is unpredictable at will.
The paladins are full of disgust and hatred for this organization, and it is a depravity that must not be tolerated, and Blengue will join the Dark Temple Paladin, is he really willing to sink...... Tarrant couldn't believe that Blenger, who had been a dragon-patterned paladin for nearly twenty years in his forty years of life, would choose to betray, "He killed his wife?"
Ryan nodded again, "It's true, their servants saw with their own eyes, Blenger stabbed his sword into Daisy's body, she died instantly, and then Blenger escaped from the house without explanation, and did not go back. ”
"They have always had a good relationship, and everyone in the group knows that Blengue loves his wife very much. ”
What Tarrant said was the truth, Blenger was called Mr. Model, and Ryan couldn't understand it, it happened too suddenly, maybe there was a hidden secret, he couldn't comment too much, and only said lightly: "Maybe what we see is just a superficial phenomenon." ”
"I hope ...... To be able to investigate this, he was my teacher, the direction of my paladin career. ”
"You? ”
"I hope to do my part in this matter before the map is delivered, and besides, clearing out the Psionic Monsters requires the use of the army, and adventurers alone are not enough, and my personal ability will not play a big role in the cleanup process. Who's following up on Blenger's investigation?"
"His teammates, you know. ”
Tarrant had seen it a few times, and had a general impression that he was unfamiliar, a dwarven defender, a mage, and a priest, all of whom did not know their surnames, "I can't name them, where are they now?"
"I guess they have already set off, they haven't been here since Blenger's accident, they are all freewheels, and only obey Blenger's orders. ”
In the eyes of those three teammates, Blenger's prestige was even higher than that of Captain Ryan, and Tarrant sighed, "Okay, I'll try to find them, I'll go first." ”
After Ryan nodded in approval, Tarrant walked out of the office, and there was a difficult problem in front of him, and there was no place to start, so he had to go to Blenger's house first and find the witness.
Blenger's house was in the Hongdu district, a relatively concentrated residential area, although the place was not large, but it was well decorated, and under the careful care of his wife every day, it seemed to be in order, and the garden in front of their door was full of flowers, forever lingering with fragrance, all of which made the house a happy cottage, and an unacceptable tragedy happened here.
Tarrant rushed to Blenger's house, where a man dressed as an official was standing in the garden at the door, looking down and writing something on a clipboard, not like a soldier or an army person, and Tarrant stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?"
The man stopped writing and looked back at Tarrant, "Who are you, Auditor of the Aunt Government?"
"Investigator of the Sheltered Light, what are you doing here?" The auditor is the commissioner who accounts for the property, and there is always no good thing where they appear, inheritances, divorces, disputes, etc.
"Hello knight, I am an auditor sent by the government, and this house is already owned by the Empire. ”
"What?!" Before Blenger's affairs were over, his assets had been transferred to the imperial treasury, and Tarrant protested: "This is too much, the truth of Blenger's case has not been determined, how can you confiscate his residence!"
"Sorry knight, this is a decision from above, I'm just a clerk", the auditor was numb to his daily work, for him it was just a procedure, he didn't dare to take an interest in the story of the owner of the house, he didn't want to know the consequences of doing so, he just wanted to do his best to get the job done without delaying his lunchtime.
"Its owner may be back!" Tarrant reminded loudly.
"Knight, the owner of this house no longer has dominion over it, he no longer enjoys the rights granted to him by the Empire, and since he has no heirs or other heirs, the Empire can confiscate all his assets, which is fully in accordance with the procedure. ”
"You should treat a hero like this, who has devoted his life to the service of the empire and the people......"
As if he hadn't heard Tarrant, the auditor went through the door and said, "A set," he touched the sofa in the hall, "a cowhide sofa, an ironwood dining table......" and jotted it down on his clipboard as he spoke.
Tarrant wanted to pick up this guy and throw him down the sewers, but he knew that doing so would not help Blenger's affairs, the imperial system was too cold-blooded to care about Blenger's contributions, damn it, the lives and property of adventurers were not guaranteed!
Tarrant stepped through the door, the hall was furnished and placed as it had been when the hostess had been there, and there was no sign of an accident, and he walked through the side door, which was a piano room, where Daisy liked to play the piano, and where she would sit when she was bored at home alone.
The ground next to the piano was dyed a large dark red, vaguely showing a lying body print, the furniture was not damaged, it should be Blenger entered the piano room, Daisy, who was playing the piano, got up to greet her, but Blenge suddenly stabbed his long sword into Daisy's body, and there was no other superfluous movement.
The servant was probably standing in the hall and saw the movement at the door of the piano room, and the servant ...... Tarrant asked the auditor in the hall, "What about the servants here?"
"Dismissed, the Empire will not continue to employ them. ”
"Where did they go?"
The auditor looked up and said mockingly, "Knight, I'm just a clerk. ”
The following is that he doesn't know anything, just follows the procedure, and really doesn't know why the empire accepts these cold-blooded animals. Let them represent the empire, and it will make humanity more and more indifferent, and everyone will only care about their own tables and purses.
Tarrant left the house and headed for the borough, where he had to find the sheriff, Carrod.
Siant's Sheriff's Office is located in the Hall of Shingon, which is home to most of the administrative functions of the Empire, and it occupies an area several times larger than the Light of Shelter, and the pillars on the periphery alone are enough to stun the people in the countryside, and the Hall of Shingon is guarded by the Royal Guard, and is the core institution for the proper functioning of the Empire's power.
At the entrance of the Hall of Shingrums, a guide sign is placed, and Carrod's office is on the second floor of the Hall of Shingrums, and Tarrant walks through the dense crowd in the hall to the second floor.
The door of the sheriff's office was open, there was a commotion inside, Tarrant walked to the door, there were four people sitting inside, judging by their clothes, they were all wealthy people of the upper class, they were talking about what property around Carrod, the four voices were mixed together, and as a result, nothing could be heard clearly, Tarrant squeezed over and greeted Carrod, "Hello, sir." ”
Carold immediately recognized Tarrant, "Hello knight, what's the matter!" He was loud enough to penetrate the murmur of the four men.
Tarrant wanted to get close to the sheriff, but the four people tightly surrounded the sheriff, for fear that their affairs would be delayed, and they quarreled to deal with their affairs first, Tarrant could only say simply: "I want you to help me check a person's address!"
"No problem!
The four people around couldn't help but interject excitedly when they heard this: "We came first, why should we solve his problem first!"
The sound shook his eardrums, and the sheriff pressed down helplessly, "Be quiet, be quiet, you speak slowly, I will take care of your property issues, Tarrant, you go to the clerk next door, and say that I authorized it." ”
"Good. "The sooner you leave that environment, the better.
Tarrant walked next door, and behind a large desk sat a short man, dressed in a decent uniform, "Clerk, yes?"
The man looked at Tarrant and struggled to make out, "You are...... Tarrant, defeat the heroes of Wensley. ”
The face was ordinary, and Tarrant couldn't remember where he had seen it, "You are?"
The clerk stepped forward and shook hands warmly with the hero, "You may not have an impression of me, but I followed Chief Carold to the exhibition hall that night, and I recorded your deeds, which is great." "His enthusiasm was not contrived flattery, but the kind of embracing of heroes by ordinary people.
Tarrant couldn't remember the situation that night, it was too chaotic, and he didn't have the energy to look at the people around him at that time, so he could only laugh dryly as an answer.
The clerk held Tarrant's hand tightly, "You are such a humble person", he understood the dry smile as modesty, and was full of respect for Tarrant, "What can I do for you?"
"Yes, I would like to inquire about the address of a man who is a servant and used to work in Blenger's house. ”
"Blenger", the clerk realized, "is his next target, yes, only a hero like you can catch him, this villain has already eliminated the three adventure squads that are chasing him." ”
