Volume 1 Money Empire Chapter 0041 The Perverse Cardinal
"Sorry, we don't have a staff member named Font. "Court No. 1 gave a convincing answer.
A young man named Wundt poses as a member of Court No. 1 and goes to Clark to inquire about the lawsuit, and eventually goes to the cemetery to use supernatural powers to obtain some information.
However, the first court quickly gave new leads. "Mr. Alkmaar has a liaison with our First Tribunal named Wundt. ”
Cybertron quickly went to a building where the Alkmaar family liaison provided by the First Tribunal was located, as a paladin, it was impossible to meet a big man like Alkmaar, but he was sure that it would not be difficult to meet a liaison, and if the final result of the investigation was related to Alkmaar himself, Cybertron would report the matter to the Holy See, and the Holy See's Cardinal Altoth in Blott would intervene and inquire about it.
However, when he arrived, he was disappointed to learn that Font had been sent elsewhere by the Alkmaar family to deal with some problems with the family business, and was not in Blotter.
"And when will he be back?" asked Cybertron.
"Maybe three days, maybe four days, even longer, you know, business is always a little bit complicated, you can't give you an exact time, you have to solve the problem. The staff replied. "Don't worry, Lord Paladin, I'll let you know if Mr. Fonte returns. ”
"I hope that the fact that I have come to Mr. Fonte today will be kept secret for me, and that I will not tell him personally, and that you will only need to inform me when he returns, and I will come to him myself. Cybertron replied coldly to the arrogant staff. "The majesty of the Holy See is no small matter. ”
Everything will have to wait until Font returns before he can continue his investigation, but another thing has come to light, and the rest of the paladins who had made their way to Elwyn's Forest got the news.
"Cybertron, we heard that something incredible happened in the Elwyn Forest last night, some hunters were attacked by hordes of beasts, and only two of them came back alive. ”
Herds of beasts attacking hunters, the action of the druid's natural forces, why a druid would attack those hunters, Cybertron asks for information about two hunters who have returned alive, and he has to go to investigate.
Cybertron was shocked when the paladin said the names of the two hunters, one of whom was not unfamiliar to him.
Downing, the young man he had seen in Shining Gold, had been threatened by supernatural forces and had killed the Iron Raven Badge wizard named Kaposo, and Cybertron thought it was all over, but now it doesn't seem that simple.
Now these things are linked together and form a powerful point, not only one occult power owner wants to kill the young man Tangning, they have accomplices, but also different types of occult power holders, including wizards and druids.
Cybertron had to investigate himself, but first he had to go to another victim to find out about Downing's whereabouts.
Lucas was lying in bed, with palpitations, because what had happened to him in the forest had left him with some sequelae, and he was always restless, so he took some medicine to help him rest.
A servant pushed open the door. "Mr. Lucas, there is a paladin of the Holy See who wants to see you. ”
Paladins of the Holy See? Are they crazy, I don't believe in those things, Lucas is a staunch materialist. "Get the damned paladins out of my place. ”
Cybertron got the servant's answer, but he had always been stubborn, and he had to investigate the matter. "Well, please tell Mr. Lucas that the attack on the forest is not so simple, there are some things he cannot imagine, and I must talk to him as soon as possible, or Mr. Downing will be in danger. ”
Hearing that Downing would be in danger, Lucas took it seriously. "Okay, let him in, I'll give him a cup of coffee. ”
Standing in the room, Cybertron greeted Lucas. "Mr. Lucas, I have deep sympathy for your injury, but I must know the inside story of the forest, and I hope you will tell me everything you know. ”
Lucas was a little worried. "You say my good friend Mr. Downing is in danger?"
"That's right, I'm sure it has something to do with him, and some people are taking revenge on him. ”
"Well, I'll tell you everything I know. For the safety of Downing, Lucas told the story of last night without reservation.
"Are you sure you'll be able to find out who wants to do my good friend bad?" Lucas finally found it a little incredulous that the beast's attack was a premeditated murder.
"I swear, Mr. Lucas, rest in peace. ”
Leaving Lucas's residence, Cybertron went to Downing's residence, the night was hazy, but the person he was looking for was not at home, but he didn't put it off until tomorrow, night is the best helper in murder, and murderers will choose to act at night.
After coming out of the dining room and saying goodbye to Taylor's parents in a friendly way, Downing took Taylor into a carriage and headed to his lodgings.
"I'm so nervous that if I let my parents know that you run casinos and brothels all over town, I'm sure my father will leave without mercy. "Taylor now knows Downing's identity.
"So I have to find a business as soon as possible. Tang Ning pondered, looked out the car window, his eyes noticed the figure in front of the apartment, he raised his vigilance, his body was hot, it was a supernatural power owner, seeing the dazzling bronze sword badge on the chest of the person at the door of the apartment in the dark night, the matter about the forest seemed to have been exposed, and he was targeted by the Holy See.
Originally, they thought that the Holy See's reaction would not be so fast, but that incident Tang Ning was sure that they could not suspect that a young man who did not have any signs of supernatural powers in any way was thanks to the grouper potion.
The car stopped in front of the apartment, and when he got out of the car, Downing looked at the paladin who seemed to be frozen, the face so familiar, it was Cybertron, the paladin who had been in the town of Shining Gold.
Cybertron saw the carriage stop and someone coming down, and the man was looking at him, and he walked over and held out his right hand, which was already frozen and unconscious. "Mr. Downing, we meet again. A smile spread across his face.
Tang Ning pretended to be surprised, did not choose to shake hands, and sent a big hug. "Man, I didn't expect to see you here, what a surprise. ”
Cybertron shivered with cold, thinking that this was not an accident, and if your life was not in danger, I would not stand here in the cold wind.
Taylor Swift looked at the Paladin. "Honey, your friend?"
Cybertron didn't suspect himself, he should have heard that he had survived the Elwyn Forest, so he came to inquire about the fluctuation of supernatural power in the forest, and he enthusiastically introduced it to Taylor while thinking about how to deal with this paladin. "Yes, we met in a small town, it was unbelievable. ”
After introducing the two of them, Downing briefly recounted how the two met in Shining Gold and how Cybertron picked up a life from the face of death. "Cybertron, what kind of danger did you encounter that time? ”
Cybertron didn't want to mention things about those supernatural powers in front of ordinary people, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better, so he entered the apartment with a few perfunctory words.
"Mr. Downing, I am asking you something about the Elwyn Forest, which I suspect has something to do with heresy, and is aimed at you. Cybertron stood his judgment with his hot coffee.
Downing grimaced him. "Who hates me so much that he would commit that horrific murder? ”
"Think about it, are there any enemies?" said Cybertron, hoping that the young man would be able to provide some useful information.
"Enemy?" Downing looked down and pondered, he already had a strategy to deal with it, since this paladin was so persistent, it was better to let him cause some trouble for Alkmaar.
"I remembered that my uncle had told me that he had a business enemy, Alkmaar, but that was a long time ago. Downing said Alkmaar's name in horror. "I don't think AZ Alkmaar will deal with me for this. ”
"Mr. Downing, could you introduce me to your uncle, I would like to inquire about something more specific. "Cybertron thinks he's got some eyebrows.
"Sorry, my uncle has passed away. "Downing apologized to Uncle Anubarak in his heart for having to put you on your back in the name of death for the sake of the plan.
"Well, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to remind you of those sad things. Cybertron felt the need to continue asking.
Tang Ning deliberately pretended to be angry and lowered his voice. "You mean to say that AZ Alkmaar took his grudge against my uncle?"
Cybertron did not deny it. "Think about the things in Shining Gold and the things in Elwin Forest, it's very likely, but that's just my guess, and I think you'd better try not to go out these days. ”
After reminding Downing, Cybertron left, originally thinking that the incident in Shining Gold Town was just the officials who were reported to be down to take revenge on Foster, and Downing got the necromancer's robe just by accident, but now it seems that their target is Downing, not Foster, which means that the incident in Shining Gold Town is not unrelated to the matter in Elwin Forest.
It seems that this matter needs to be investigated secretly, but the Alkmaar family's reputation in Blott City is a problem, and his dukedom must be reported to Cardinal Artot, so that Artot can communicate with higher law enforcement agencies and the Holy See and obtain permission.
Tangning looked at the departing paladin and grinned. "Good luck with AZ Alkmaar, another player has been added to the game, a paladin who is stubborn and loyal to the Holy See. ”
"Damn, Tangning, you've got to close the door, I'm going to freeze to death. Taylor, who came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe, complained.
Back in the Holy See, Cybertron informed Altot of the incident, and Altot refused mercilessly. "Cybertron, I can promise you anything, but I will never promise you this, Mr. Alkmaar is a big man in Blotter City, a duke, his reputation is recognized by everyone in Blott City, he is a good man, he will never do such a stupid thing as using supernatural powers against a business opponent, and only the opponent's nephew. ”
