He was desperately waiting for him to leave!
Realizing this, Ian narrowed his eyes almost into two slits.
The light of the fire danced through the gap, and it wasn't until a long time later that Ian quietly closed his eyes, turned and stepped over the gap in the space to return to his room.
He couldn't find the hidden enemy!
But he knew that this enemy would eventually reappear!
The night passed, and the next morning, Ian got up early and went to the room where the two ladies were. After a night of searching, he didn't find any clues, and since Orivia and Martina were the masters of the church, he decided to share the news with the two ladies so that they could take precautions so that they wouldn't be caught off guard.
However, what he didn't expect was that when he followed the maid's guidance to his destination, he found that there was another visitor in this room besides himself.
It was an elder in a rich red robe, and Ian, who had been in the church for a while, recognized his identity at a glance.
"Enoch Holy See?"
Hearing Ian's whisper, the old man turned his head, gave him a kind smile, nodded slightly, and said hello. Immediately, Ian saw Orivia pointing to the chair next to him and gestured to him: "Ian, you came just in time, sit down, something happened in the city yesterday and it has something to do with you." ”
"Something to do with me?"
Ian frowned slightly, his heartstrings moved, and he was not polite, so he stepped forward and sat down: "What happened?"
"Three people were missing in the city yesterday. Martina replied with a serious face, "Two of them are high-ranking members of the Eastern Regions Apothecary Guild, Polly and Rogge, the two judges who impressed us in the Apothecary Apprenticeship Competition. ”
Polly mysteriously disappeared on his way to the dungeon, where the two guards who were escorting him are still unconscious. Rogge disappeared after the game, and according to his wife, he neither returned home nor hung out at the nightclub he frequented. ”
"Of course. Miss Knight paused, and then said in a more serious tone: "If only these two people are missing, it may be nothing, but with the addition of a third missing person, this matter suddenly becomes very troublesome. ”
"Who?"
"Master Klin from the Imperial Capital Apothecary Headquarters. Orivia sighed lightly, and then the knight's words continued, "You also know the hypocritical old man. He was almost the third in the entire Apothecary's Guild, and the disappearance of such a man made Grand Duke Fran almost turn his hair gray. ”
"That old guy is missing too?"
Ian was slightly shocked, he was very impressed by this cunning old man, but he didn't expect to hear the "bad news" of the other party the next morning.
He couldn't help frowning, realizing that his next arrangement might be affected somewhat, because the status of that old man was beyond his imagination, such a person had disappeared, and it was still during the holding of the Imperial Academic Exchange Conference, it was absolutely impossible for the high-ranking people in the Eastern Regions to ignore it.
"Yes. As he expected, Miss Knight smiled wryly after nodding, "Master Kling has not returned to the Apothecary Guild until now, so His Excellency has not slept all night. ”
She turned her head to look at the old man beside her, and continued: "This morning the Holy See of Enoch received an envoy sent by His Excellency the Grand Duke, and it was the messenger who brought us this news, and it is said that there are people around the Grand Duke who think ......"
“...... Does anyone think that the disappearance of these three people may be related to me?"
Ian let out a sneer, almost crying and laughing in the bottom of his heart.
"At first, it was just those two judges. ”
Orivia shrugged her shoulders: "But they feel that the disappearance of these three people has a certain connection, and it just so happens that two of them have a relationship with you on the surface, and with the help of some people, it is not surprising that they will come to such a conclusion." ”
"You know, in the eyes of those in the know, there are all kinds of versions now. ”
"Okay. Ian pouted: "That means that I have now become the number one suspect in this incident, as soon as I step out of the Red Lotus Church, the guards in the city will directly pounce on me and tie me up, and escort me to the gray-haired Grand Duke, is that what you mean?"
"Almost. Orivia nodded elegantly: "Although we can testify to you, you also know that 'Orivia' has no right to speak, and due to some rumors some time ago, Martina's testimony may not be so easy for them to believe." ”
Isn't it that easy?
Ian found that his head was a little painful, after such a legendary scandal, even if Miss Knight had the image of "sincerity", but the words she said probably still could not escape the distortion and distortion of those who cared.
If that's the case, then all he can do right now is three options.
The first one is to be pressed directly by absolute force. This is the stupidest choice, and you will definitely be treated as a "big devil" afterwards.
The second, with his ability to come and go freely, ignores these and goes directly outside the circle. Of course, the consequence of this is to be "convicted", to be on the Empire's wanted list, to become a street rat that everyone shouts at, and finally evolves into the result of the first option.
The third is to find out the real murderer and prove his innocence, so that the clowns who want to jump up and down have nothing to say.
"Looks like I have something to do before Harris comes back. ”
"You don't need to worry too much about it. Hearing Ian's self-teasing, Orivia couldn't help but laugh out loud: "After all, they don't dare to offend the majesty of Crimson. If we claim that you have not left the church in the name of 'Crimson', then they will not dare to convict you arbitrarily without any evidence. ”
"But what if Crimson is issuing a very different oracle?" Ian said with a meaningful look as he looked up at Orivia.
"Huh?"
The rest of the people present were stunned and immediately frowned.
"Lord Ian. The old man, who had been silent all along, frowned: "What are you trying to say?"
Ian didn't answer, he still stared at Orivia, not saying a word. It wasn't until a moment later that Miss Merchant came to her senses and asked with a solemn expression, "Ian, what did you find?"
