Chapter 196, open the door and check the water meter!
At the end of April 793 in the continental calendar, Roland contacted the panda in a private chat.
"Have you been free lately?" he asked.
The panda was stunned for a moment and said, "If you have something, just say it, don't ask me if I'm free." If it's a serious matter, I'm sure I'll be available. ”
"We've found the suspect behind this necromantic outbreak. Roland said, "I'm going to arrest him in two days, will you go with you?"
"Of course!" Panda smiled, "Of course I won't miss this kind of thing!"
So he discussed it with a few friends and found someone to help "substitute for the class", and he hurried back to the castle to sleep well, adjusted his state, and then set off for the Republic of West Winglyka to meet Roland and others.
The meeting point is in the capital of the Republic, West Winglaika, which is known as the "City of Killer Whales", where flags are flown everywhere with tigers and whales - the ancestors of the West Vanlyca people started fishing and hunting, although several countries have changed here, but the worship of tigers and whales has always been one of the hallmarks of their culture.
In West Bun Leka, the names of the ten chambers of commerce, probably four will be related to beasts, four will be related to the big guys in the sea, and the remaining two may be others. And people's names tend to be the same - "Tiger" is the most common name for West Bunlyka men, "Will" is the next most common name, and as for the various nicknames "tiger" and "whale", the usage rate is equally high.
In terms of nicknames, this is even more pronounced. If you shout "Brother Tiger" in the tavern of West Lyka, at least six or seven strong men will come towards you, and if you shout "Big Whale" on the docks, there will be even more sailors.
Panda: The person they are looking for this time is also called Tiger.
However, unlike other "Tiger", he is not called "Tiger", but by "Tiger".
In the entire Western Continent, there are many people with the surname "Tiger", but the most famous is the Tiger family, a famous family in Western Brulyka. This family is one of the real power factions of the Republic of Western Winglyka, long before the establishment of the Republic, they were a marquis, and they were the top among the marquises, and even if it were not for the establishment of the Republic, they would probably have been dukes a long time ago.
In the entire Western Continent, there will be no more than twenty ducal families. The Tiger family of West Winglyka is recognized as having a duke, but not a duke.
The patriarch of the contemporary Tiger family, named "Gretel Don Tiger", "Don" is a middle word commonly used by Western Winglyka nobles to symbolize their status. And this Mr. Gretel, in general, few people dare to call him by his name, and they all call him "Tiger XIV".
This method of salutation is also one of the commonly used honorific titles for nobles. For example, Count Tara Khan can be honored as "Count Tara Khan V", and if he is related to someone of similar status, he will be called "Tara Khan XI" - the latter refers to the generations after the Tara Khan family became a nobleman and established a family name.
Of course, there are some nobles who are not suitable for this name, such as the contemporary King of Terrela, His Majesty Zion Terrela.
It's not very convenient to call him "Terrella's XX generation" - the history of the Terella family is too long, dating back to the Second Age, and it has been arranged from generation to generation...... No one knows for sure how many lives there are.
In contrast, it is more convenient to be called "Zion I" - it means that he is the first patriarch of the Terrela family to be named "Zion".
A similar title is, of course, the king of the Ellanz Kingdom, Catalina I.
"After our investigation, this necromantic outbreak has a lot to do with Tiger XIV. "There was a sign at the door of a very secluded tavern that said "closed", but inside the tavern there were twenty or thirty priests, including pandas. Speaking at this moment was none other than his friend, the Templar Roland, who did the most decent job of the priesthood among the time-travelers.
"What kind of relationship is there?" asked a gray-haired paladin.
As can be seen from the badge on his chest, he is a holy warrior of the god of light. In West Winglyka, the Church of the God of Light has a great influence, and the "Sage" Jager is an idol who is worshipped by countless people.
That said, the Church of Light doesn't actually have a good relationship with West Lyka officials - most churches don't have a good relationship with the government, especially the more powerful ones.
Roland replied, "We investigated for more than a year, and finally, we found traces of his connection to the necromancy. ”
"What?!" more than one paladin stood up, and some had divine flames flashing in their eyes, as if they were about to knock on the door as soon as the news was confirmed.
"Everyone, don't be impatient!" Roland's voice raised slightly, because of the barrier of the magic array, he was not afraid of being heard by people outside, "Since our Church of the God of Order has summoned everyone over, of course we want to solve this matter. But we have to do it clean and beautiful, so that no one has anything to say. You can't let this escalate the contradictions – don't you think it's right?"
The paladins hesitated for a moment, then sat down again.
Next, Roland showed evidence - it was a magical video in which the gray-haired, unusually senile-looking Tiger XIV was using a crystal ball to contact someone he didn't know. After contacting, he opened the drawer, took out a bottle of gray-green magic potion and drank it, his spirit immediately improved much, and the whole person looked a lot younger.
"We've found the remnants of that potion. Roland took out a sealed crystal bottle, and despite the seal, the panda could still clearly feel the strong necromantic aura coming from the bottle.
That's pretty much a real hammer.
And that's not all. He also used the magic circle designed by Eric to eavesdrop on a communication between the two parties.
In that passage, Tiger XIV made it clear that he would continue to cooperate with the other party to accelerate the necromancy outbreak in order to complete the experiment.
Well, that's all right......
So everyone stopped talking nonsense, and set off one after another, and under the leadership of Roland, they rushed directly to the Tiger family.
"Everyone, don't be impatient!" Roland's voice raised slightly, because of the barrier of the magic array, he was not afraid of being heard by people outside, "Since our Church of the God of Order has summoned everyone over, of course we want to solve this matter. But we have to do it clean and beautiful, so that no one has anything to say. You can't let this escalate the contradictions – don't you think it's right?"
