Chapter 375: Calculation
The man did not stand up immediately, but said in a hoarse voice: "The subordinates are incompetent and willing to be punished." ”
Hamilton sighed, stood up, picked up a page and looked at it carefully: "What has Jafar Nasser of the Northern Temple been up to lately?"
"His first target was our suspicion, but since Barry, the great merchant, was blown to nothing two years ago, and her daughter, Lady Maya, and the Pretender were wiped out in Gaukan City a year ago, he has shrunk like a frightened bird.
I heard that in order to settle this matter, he paid a great price and has fallen out of favor in the Northern Temple.
Even if he wanted to retaliate, he probably wouldn't have enough energy to reach for his claws.
However, more than three months ago, just more than half a month before the start of the Southeastern War, he suddenly disappeared for two days, and his Harris met with more than a dozen business alliance officials.
It's just that...... It's just that the racial characteristics of our people are too conspicuous to find out the specific list of people and the content of their conversations. ”
"Hehe, there are many dioceses there, the factions are chaotic, and the beliefs are complex, and the temple left a lot of hidden dangers in order to quickly recover it and end the war as soon as possible, in the end, it was in a hurry.
Over the years, the Northern Temple has relied on the divine water produced in the New World, and has cultivated a lot of holy knights and even sacreds in the open and secretly, although the potential of this short-lived industrial product is limited, but there are also some miracles.
Everyone knows that they have long since separated from the Sanctuary, so it is not surprising that you have not heard much there.
Are there any other suspicions, any doubts about the life of Kant?"
"No, this person is so ordinary as if he was meant to be like that, he only became a team leader in his 50s, his qualifications are dull and mediocre, I can't imagine anyone who would spend so much effort and time to cultivate such an incompetent spy.
But what is certain is that he is by no means a spy of the steppe people, and according to the details restored by the divine inquisitor, the steppe people did not know that there would be this explosion at all, and everything was a coincidence.
Even his sudden transfer to Brando City was a temporary order, and it turned out that he had received an order to go to Villadi City. ”
"That's interesting...... I'm afraid you won't find anything out of the appointment. ”
"Yes, we lost three people for this, and in the end all the suspicions pointed to the Stanton family in Caloster City, but this is not logical at all, as if it was forcibly implicated.
Other clues lead us to most of the empire, and then disappear into thin air, and like that Kant, no one can find out how a few big living people suddenly left a heavily guarded city.
The enemy is hiding too deeply, as if they are taking us in circles, and every time they feel a clue, they will be cut off immediately.
If it weren't for the fact that they were all brothers who were born and died, I would have suspected that there was an inner ghost. ”
After thinking for a long time, Hamilton finally had no clue, and Hamilton said to the man: "Forget it, you have worked hard, go back and rest early."
Soon someone will come to you, tell the brothers not to resist, save the information, and give it to them. ”
The big man was a little excited when he heard this: "My lord, you must not hand over the information that your brothers have fought so hard to hand over to those southerners for nothing.
They will definitely take advantage of the topic and cling to you.
My lord, please give me another chance, as long as it takes a month, no, half a month, and I will definitely find out the result.
It was Jafa, and it must have been done by the remnants of the Red Skull Thieves.
Melissa and the others must not be allowed to put their hands into the Templars again, otherwise the brothers will not be able to see His Majesty Charles even if they die. ”
The man burst into tears, obviously moved by his true feelings, his eyes were blood-red, and the blood vessels in his forehead were bulging, as if they would burst open in the next moment.
Hamilton walked to the man's side, even though the other party was heavily armoured, but under his hands he was like a weak child, and it didn't take much effort to help him up from the ground.
He slapped the man's shoulder a few times: "Look at what you look like now, crying and crying, the group of hell devils left a full twelve knife cuts on you back then, and your blood is about to drain without shedding a single tear."
Could it be that after staying in the gentle country of the imperial capital for a few years, the former bloodthirsty demon king has become a sissy.
Alas, I'm also at fault, your forte is not an investigation in the first place, and I have delayed you all these years.
Go back and take a good shower and get some sleep, it's no big deal.
It's good to take that group of southern barbarians if they want, I have been promoted to the fifth rank, so I have to start preparing for the assessment of the Holy Knights, and it is better to change to a cleaner place.
Brothers will not die in vain, your sacrifice is in the eyes of everyone, and even they dare not slander you.
It's just that don't be so impulsive in the future, and think twice about everything here, which can be regarded as leaving us a spark of revival. ”
The cartel restrained his emotions and said angrily, "This is Detalena, those Southern Barbarians will never be able to conquer this city of heroes.
Rest assured, my lord, the brothers will not embarrass you.
Even if you peel off this skin, we will give you an explanation, those southern barbarians won't get anything, it's a big deal. ”
With that, the cartel pushed the door open and left, his heavy footsteps falling on the wooden floor.
Watching the man's back disappear at the end of the corridor, Hamilton's face was a little gloomy, as if there was still a trace of guilt, but it quickly disappeared.
At this time, the servant reported that the second prince Oss was originally and was waiting for tea in the living room.
Hamilton said coldly: "Then let him wait, a useless waste, just say that I am a guest." ”
That night, the Hamilton Paladin, the supreme leader of the armed forces of the Wardsmann Empire's General Temple, walked out of his humble mansion in the imperial capital.
Instead of riding a horse, he chose to walk, and instead of wearing a full suit of armor, he wore an ordinary Templar's uniform, his neckline unbuttoned, and his hair a little unkempt in the cold wind.
As a pivotal figure in the imperial capital, he was quickly recognized, and even two or three reporters with a keen sense of smell rushed over and left the scene on the negative of the camera.
With no retinue and no horseback riding, this is one of the safest places in the world, although it is not forbidden for ordinary people to enter.
In this way, he walked step by step to the gate of the temple, and all the knights and samurai who met him knelt down on one knee in front of him and saluted, and then helped him maintain order along the way.
It wasn't until he reached the main hall of the temple that he turned back and waved kindly to the people around him, as if saying goodbye, and then stepped into the main hall where Melissa was working.
In the uneasy and puzzled eyes of all the clergy, he smiled and said, "I'm Paladin Hamilton, and I heard that there was a recent investigation into my malfeasance, so I came to cooperate. ”
At the same time, the manor where the knight Cartel, the title of the Imperial Temple, lived, was seized by the Paladin Arthas, and the Cartel and others refused to cooperate with the investigation on the grounds that Alsace's procedures did not meet the regulations, and a fierce dispute broke out between the two sides.
Eventually, Arthas became enraged, killing three Templars, including the Cartel, and taking the rest prisoner.
However, the dozen or so boxes full of information that were found in the subsequent search were well documented and reliable, and even the whereabouts of each gold card were clearly recorded, not to mention the dozen or so death certificates signed by Hamilton himself.
It was simply a slap in the face to them in Alsace.
The greater irony is that after a closer inspection, no problems were found in the Imperial Capital General Temple, but instead the clues traced involved more than a dozen large families with great reputations within the Southern Temple, and the focus was on notorious figures such as Jafar Nasser, the Holy Knight of the Northern Temple.
While there is no direct evidence that the bombings were linked to these families and bigwigs, the boxes are filled with detailed evidence that the big families don't seem to be that innocent in the dark.
Although the Southern Temple didn't want to be too involved and cause too much turmoil in the current situation, under the majesty of the Holy Domain, it had no choice but to take over the case and continue to investigate and touch these powerful families.
Although the news of this unexpected infighting was blocked by the Southern Temple, there were still rumors of this unexpectedly unwinding strife circulating, and Hamilton's rash surrender was simply the most obvious evidence, which was discussed by the entire imperial capital.
Because of the death, he is still a knight with a meritorious title who has always had a good reputation, which has caused dissatisfaction and resistance among most of the priests and temple knights in the Imperial Capital General Temple.
The Southern Temple, including Archbishop Melissa, had to settle down, and in the following moves, they eased up a lot, giving up a lot of benefits that were originally inevitable.
And the paladin Arthas, who led the team to handle the case, was transferred back to the Southern Temple again to hide it because of his improper handling and too tyrannical action.
Poor Arthas didn't realize that his impulses had been exploited until a month later, but killing his colleagues was a hard fact, and all his efforts to go further were in vain, and instead became a stain on his life.
But for the next few years, he could only honestly shrink to Southern Theological Seminary as an instructor.
This is already the most forgiving end, not even a punishment, if he is not from the old family Bedford, if it is not for the joint guarantee of several archbishops and holy knights, what awaits him will be to deprive him of all glory and spend the rest of his life in the secret prison of the temple.
There are also discerning people who have seen Archbishop Melissa skillfully downplay his presence in this matter, considering that she and the forces represented by the paladin Arthas are not the same, perhaps this also contains some kind of secretive flavor.
And the fifth-level awakened paladin Hamilton was a blessing in disguise, not only completely cleared the suspicion from the Brando City bombing, but also successfully passed the assessment of the holy domain, promoted to the holy knight, and completely entered the upper echelons of the temple.
