A banquet, a skirmish, and a retreat at a critical moment made the illegitimate son of the Igor family lose face. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Aristocrats can be proud, they can be arrogant, they can look at no one, and as beings who are born with a sense of nobility, they can take these qualities for granted. But the aristocracy must also have enough courage, enough responsibility, and the determination to stand up at critical moments.

Because in their education, the glory of the territory and the family is more important than life.

If at that time, this bastard chose to rush forward and fight for his life, even if he lost, everyone would be impressed by him, but he didn't, but retreated, like a Shiba Inu fleeing with his tail between his legs, retreating.

This time, there were a lot of people attending the banquet, and basically all the nobles and big merchants of Ilmasu City came.

Excluding those with ulterior motives, most of the nobles and merchants wanted to weigh up what the future lord of the Rose Collar was.

After all, these times are too dangerous, they need to make choices, they need to determine whether their leaders can keep them safe, and the results can only be described as 'big disappointments'.

Sometimes the message is delivered very slowly, only one or two people know about it, but when some people want it to circulate, it is transmitted very quickly.

The next day, the news that the future Grand Duke of Rosecollar was a cowardly boy had begun to spread throughout the city of Ilmasu, and after people expressed their disdain, they were more worried, worried about the future of Rosecollar.

Then, the news that Eliade, the Minister of War, stormed the Rose Castle, clashed with Madame Merry, and left in a rage, circulated among the nobles.

Urgently, the Grand Duke's Council began, and the bastard attended this important meeting for the first time, and although he did not speak or make any decent decisions during the whole process, he appeared wearing the cloak of the Blood Feather Dragon Raven that symbolized the Grand Duke of Rose, which already said a lot.

Madame Merry's final decision is still very simple, the Rose Collar is still the Rose Collar of the Igor family after all, and the title of Grand Duke of the Rose belongs to Igor after all.

That night, Count Milou-Monroe also entered the Château de la Rose, and asked to see his own sister, Madame Merry, but to no avail. After returning, he directly sent his son Nat to Beicheng, and externally said that he would manage his family's property in Beicheng.

Although, it is a personal understanding that he is afraid of the revenge of the illegitimate child after he gains power.

For a while, this made many people move, many people had ideas, and many people made choices.

And the real careerist suddenly found out that this illegitimate child seemed to have only appeared for a day or two, and the opportunity that had been waiting for a long time had finally arrived......

As the top commander of the patrol battalion, Victor was woken up at midnight.

At that time, he had just been exhausted from the tossing and turning of a beautiful maid in his new possession, and fell into a deep sleep, but was awakened by a violent knock at the door.

He knew one of his subordinates, a young man named Upton, in fact, the two were still a little related, and Upton's sister did a lot of effort on Victor in order to get him into the patrol camp.

Otherwise, this little fool would not be able to blend in the patrol battalion to this position at this age.

However, Victor vows that if the other party does not give him a satisfactory explanation, he must let the other party know how serious the consequences of disturbing his boss's rest are.

However, after Upton stammered to explain what had happened, Victor was so grim-faced that he climbed into his riding boots without saying a word, and while arranging his clothes, he called for the groom to take his mount out.

Upton led the way, Victor followed, and they galloped to the Uptown, stopping outside a nobleman's estate.

The perimeter of the manor was surrounded by armed patrol battalion soldiers, armed with torches, sharp-eyed and cold-armed, and would look at everyone who cast their gaze as if they were looking at a fugitive.

When Victor dismounted, a group of patrol battalion soldiers had already surrounded him, but when he saw that it was his highest commander, he immediately saluted and left.

Victor didn't bother too much, just casually threw the reins in his hand to Upton and walked directly into the manor.

At the entrance, the heavy smell of blood was already blowing in his face, and the ground and walls were puddles of blood, and the blood was so red and dazzling under the hanging magic lamp.

Victor rubbed his nose and looked at the ground a little strangely, there were no corpses, but the traces of dragging on the ground were very obvious, as if the murderer had dragged these people somewhere after killing people.

Without the need for guidance from others, he followed the direction of the blood, and when he entered a hall, he was stunned by a single glance.

It was a large living room, with tables, chairs, benches, candlesticks, silver plates, and discarded food, but all the miscellaneous items had been swept aside, leaving a large open space in between.

Dozens of corpses were arranged in a strange circle that resembled a magic array, and if you looked closely, those corpses had been killed by a sword, and there was still fear and despair on their faces.

And in the center of this strange formation, an old man in a black straight dress knelt on the ground, his hair was meticulously groomed, his arms stretched, and he was held high into the sky, as if to greet something.

It's just that his eyes have been gouged out, blood is dripping down his cheeks, and he can't see clearly what his expression was before he died.

Other than that, he had no other injuries all over his body.

All around, there were quite a few soldiers from the patrol battalion, and they rummaged through the hall, as if they wanted to find some clues, but as for the formation of dead people in the center, no one dared to move.

Seeing Victor's arrival, a man with a tall figure and an extremely calm bearing walked up to Victor's side and opened his mouth: "Sir, we are in big trouble now." ”

Victor glanced at him lightly, then turned his head to stare at the old man, and said after a while: "Viscount Wijnal-Ott, the patriarch of the Ott family, a good old man who starts a business, but spends at least half of his income every year to buy food to help the poor.

Last night, I greeted him at the banquet in the Rose Castle and chatted a few words, but I didn't expect to see him die here today, really, really ......"

The calm man paused slightly before saying, "Chief's Day." ”

"There's nothing to mourn about, what we have to do now is bring this damned murderer to justice. Victor waved his hand, as if waving away his distractions, and then said, "Tell me, what have you found?"

"The deceased, Viscount Wiener-Ott, and his two wives, three sons, and servants, were eighty-three.

Preliminary inspection, the murderer should be a master of swordsmanship, after he or they rushed into the Ott Manor, directly launched the massacre, and after slaughtering everyone in the entire manor, there was still time to drag everyone into the room and put it in this position.

The discoverer was a clerk under Viscount Ott, who, at the request of the Viscount, sent the sorted accounts here at night, only to find that the gate was open, and when he entered, he found all this in front of him, and then found the patrol camp. The calm man introduced the basic situation before saying:

"The brothers have searched all around, but they have not found any useful clues. ”

Victor didn't look back and asked, "What about you, what do you think about this?"

Victor was able to sit firmly in the position of the highest commander of the patrol battalion, naturally not only relying on Upton's new tenderness, he clearly knew that a good man and three gangs, he needed really capable subordinates, such as the calm man in front of him.

When the calm man heard this, he didn't talk nonsense, and directly took a torch and threw it into the magic array.

The flames burned like a prairie fire, and they actually converged in mid-air like life, forming a giant snake that roared up to the sky, roaring, as if it was about to devour heaven and earth.

Victor's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "This is ...... Chaos Serpent Apophis!"
