CHAPTER XXXI

Finishing the questioning, Roy walked out of the room amid friendly thanks and goodbyes from the clerk and several Lulian officials.

Standing on the covered bridge leading from the main building of the barracks to the barracks wall, looking into the distance, it was already evening, and the clouds on the horizon were like torn cotton wool, half like fire and half like ink in the reflection of the setting sun.

Downstairs came the sound of wheels and horses' hooves.

Roy turned his head and saw several worried noble lords walking out of the main building, and after a brief conversation, they each got into a carriage and drove out of the camp.

Roy watched them thoughtfully, and did not withdraw his gaze until the sound of the wheels of the carriage disappeared outside the camp gates.

Among these richly dressed nobles, he recognized Mrs. Joyce at a glance. The other nobles who walked beside Mrs. Joyce, whose names he could not name, had also seen them at the ball of Archduke Adolf. All of them were big names of Lourien's fame.

And these people are here at the same time, apparently for the attack that just happened.

Just as he was thinking, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.

"Is the inquiry over?" Avery asked as he walked over to Roy's side and glanced at the clerks and criminal law officers who were discussing in the window.

Faintly, he could still hear the officials pointing at Roy.

"It's amazing, he single-handedly repelled four Knights of Glory. ”

"I heard that the two people we caught are also his credit. Doesn't he look like he's twenty-five?"

"What twenty-five, at most twenty-two!"

"If you look at his identity documents, he is also a nobleman. Leo Ferdinand, look at the coat of arms, not the Ferdinand family in Sinasili. ”

"I'll see, hmm. If I'm not mistaken, this is an old family from the time of the Romance Dynasty, and it has not been heard from for a long time. I didn't expect that there would be such a powerful child. ”

"It's not surprising, haven't you noticed, there are many family heirs who have not been heard from before. All appeared. ”

“.......”

"Looks like everyone is curious about you. Avery laughed, "The Ferdinands, is it the Blackmane Lion family of Baginia?"

"Oh?" Roy asked, somewhat surprised, "you know?"

Leo's name and identity were prepared by Austin for Roy.

The family of Count Ferdinand, the black-maned lion of Baginia, is very old. One of the families who migrated to the Land of Redemption in the Final War. During the Warcraft War, he rose in the Baginian Plain in the middle of the continent, and later submitted to the Roman family, and was one of the founders of the Roman Dynasty.

During the Romance period. The Ferdinand family is full of talent. Not only was there three gods of law and five paladins, but he was also trusted by the successive Caesars of Roman, and was in charge of almost every affairs inside and outside the palace, including security guards.

But by the middle of the Romance Dynasty, this originally prosperous family had a sharp decline due to the death of several core members in accidents or diseases. Even when it comes to childbirth, there are problems. Newborns either die prematurely or are sickly.

Even if it barely grows. There's no talent either.

By the end of the Romance Dynasty, the empire was in turmoil. The descendants of this family lost the protection of the royal family, unable to protect their territory, and gradually sold off the family business, and finally disappeared from people's sight.

Later, when Austin was investigating the truth of the final battle, he found out that the Ferdinand family. It turned out to be a member of the Apocalypse Alliance, one of the Goldfinch family.

Through Guò's search, he found the last heir and took him to his domain.

This man was Austin's chief guard during his lifetime, and after his death he was transformed into a lich. Always by Austin's side. When Roy came out of the battle, he also came on the field at the end.

And since the death of the last Ferdinand's direct heir, the Blackmane Lion family has come to an end. The family's heraldic books and noble certificates have remained in Austin's hands until now.

When preparing for Roy's return to the Redemption Continent, Austin chose the Ferdinand family as Roy's identity cover.

For one, everything is in Austin's hands, and it couldn't be easier to fake an identity. If you put aside Roy's own bloodline, and only look at the heraldic books and identity documents, this can even be said to be true. Even if it is a heraldic institute, it must be admitted.

Second, the physiological characteristics of this family are black hair.

And, as a member of the Apocalypse Alliance, the Ferdinand family's Chinguise crest, will help Roy reach these people who have never given up on finding out the truth for hundreds of years.

The invasion of the demons has already made Austin feel that the truth of the final battle may not be far away.

What Roy didn't expect was that Avery also knew about this family that was drowned in the long river of history. This was unexpected.

"I've heard of it before, but this time, I read your testimony before I went to look through the heraldic encyclopedia. Avery confessed.

Roy smiled and didn't speak.

It's also easy to understand that as the deputy head of the knights of the Muni City Guard, it would be too dereliction of duty if he didn't even know the identity of the person he brought back.

"It's been a long time since I've heard from the Blackmane Lion family," Avery said, "and you're ...... Is it to live by being a mercenary, or is it ......"

"Mercenaries. Roy pulled out his mercenary nameplate.

This mercenary nameplate was originally registered in the mission hall of Edin City, only the number and rank, and other personal information is completely confidential.

Especially after he shook Medin City with a new magic pattern, his mercenary information has been raised to the SSS secret level, and even the high-level officials of the mission hall have no access to it.

"Level 3 mercenary," Avery looked at Roy's mercenary nameplate a little speechlessly, and smiled bitterly, "You must not have done this seriously." ”

Indeed, since being promoted to a third-level mercenary in Medin City, Roy has never taken on a mission. If there are no tasks, there will be no points. The level of the mercenary has always stayed in place.

In Avery's opinion, with Rio's strength, even if he takes on some tasks casually and does them leisurely, he will be at least a mid-level mercenary above level five in a year.

And he is only a third-level mercenary now, obviously not really relying on this profession to eat.

Roy was a little embarrassed. Turning his head to look at the camp gate, he changed the subject and said, "By the way, I saw several great lords of Lulian just now, are they here for this case?"

Avery nodded.

"Did the two men confess," Roy asked. "Who instructed them to do that?"

"It's the Barnes & Nobles. Avery said solemnly, "Do you know this family?"

Roy nodded and said, "I've heard of it." ”

"Originally, I shouldn't have told you about these things, but that's what General Fano meant," Avery said, "and you've heard of the Bano family, you should know." This family has always been obsessed with retribution. After all, you captured these two people, and you killed five of them, and we are afraid ......"

"Revenge on me?" Roy's eyes narrowed slightly.

Avery nodded: "There are many strong men in the Bano family, and its heir, Little Bano, is still the commander of the Fifth Legion. The power is huge. If they want to be against you, I'm afraid even we won't be able to protect you. ”

"Oh?" Roy snapped and turned his head. A look of disapproval.

Avery smiled wryly. Young people have such strength, and they are naturally arrogant. It's normal not to listen. But what he didn't know was that out of his sight, a cold light flashed in Roy's eyes.

"Could it be that they are the murderers of Tie Xiaomao?"

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

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

In the west of Munich, a Romanesque castle sits on a lakeside hillside.

The castle covers an area of more than 1,000 acres. The outer part is a quiet and dense woods, and in the center is a large flat and open meadow, which looks like a huge green carpet when viewed from the air.

The main building of the castle is located in the center of the green carpet. Detachments of heavily armed guards. Cruising back and forth. Above the high wall, the arrows of the huge armor-piercing crossbow shimmered with cold light. As far as the eye can see, this beautiful castle with a strong literary atmosphere is like a well-guarded fortress.

In the study on the third floor, Barnes & Noble's face turned pale. Next to him, seven or eight nobles sat or stood, all with different expressions. And in front of him, five knights, covered in blood and stains, stood with their heads bowed.

These five people are the five murderers who escaped in the South Gate attack.

After a long time, Bano slowly spoke: "So there are twelve people, two were caught red-handed, five were killed, and just a few of you ran back?"

"Yes, sir. The Glory Knight at the head said stiffly.

"Hmph!" Barnes & Noble snorted, got up, strode up to the five people, looked over one by one, looked back one by one, and finally gritted his teeth and scolded: "Waste!"

The five of them lowered their heads and didn't dare to say a word.

"General Barno," said the Marquis of Ashley, who was sitting on the sofa beside him, as he stood up, "and we should do our best to come up with a countermeasure." ”

He walked up to the five men, waved his hand, and motioned for them to go out, and when he saw that the door of the study was closed by Barnes Noble's knight, he turned back to Barnes and said, "Since the man has been caught, Adolf will soon know that we did the ......."

"What if you know?" Barnes Noble motioned for his attendant to pour a glass of wine, and drank it dry, his eyes flashing, "Could it be that what we are doing, Adolf didn't know about it before? Hmph, didn't he just attack a dwarven food convoy?

"But don't forget, Your Excellency," said Marquis Ashley, "that we used to target the dwarves, and Adolf could turn a blind eye because we had not offended him. Now that we are doing it in the city of Muni, we have committed his taboo. If we don't give an explanation......"

Bano waved his hand and sneered: "Confess, in the past, I may have given him Adolf a little face." But now, I need to give him an account?"

He paced back and forth a few steps, looked at the Marquis of Ashley and said, "Don't forget, Lord Chancellor and Edward have completely turned their faces now. We can't get along with Adolf at all. The reason why he turned a blind eye was because we weren't the only ones who were fighting those alien ideas, and he couldn't afford to be angry!"

"And now, since he has captured our people and taken advantage of them, do you think he will give up?" Barneau sneered, "Hmph, I'm afraid he's thinking about how to deal with us right now! Besides, even if he wants to let go, our competitors will push him in the back. ”

The aristocrats all nodded their heads and exchanged ears.

The Marquis of Ashley pondered for a moment and asked, "Your Excellency, what do you ......mean?"

"He's not arresting my people!" Barnes & Noble said lightly.

The nobles looked at each other, and their faces were indescribably wonderful. After all, sacrificing a Dragonmoon Mage and a Knight of Glory was nothing to the Barnes or Noble. As long as he bites to death and doesn't admit that those two people have a relationship with him, even Adolf can't do anything.

This kind of unreasonable style of play, the Barnes and Noble family has always been good at.

However, after all, this is a matter of face. You can not admit it, but anyone with a discerning eye knows what is going on. If those two people are publicly tried and hanged, it will be a slap in the face to the Barnes and Noble family and to their own people!

Besides, what will the people below think when they see it?

"This ......," the Marquis of Ashley frowned.

"I know what you're worried about," Barnes & Noble said, "but if they want to move our people, they have to figure out if they can afford it." Before that, I'll give them a warning...... Hey, a little mercenary is also involved in such a storm, and he shoots to kill our people, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead!"

With that, Barnes & Noble said to the attendant, "Let the Black Snake in." ”

As soon as they heard the name, the nobles were shocked.

After a while, everyone only felt that the temperature in the study seemed to have plummeted by more than ten degrees, and then a flower appeared in front of Barnes and Noble silently.

"Find the mercenary and kill him. Hang his body on the wall of the south gate......!" Ask for a commuter pass!. WEIXIN opened, looking forward to communicating with everyone, private account: pangzi_72 public account: ctao0202...... (To be continued......)
