Early the next morning, the Frontier Knights were assembled in the halls of the mansion at their request. The discipline of the knights www.biquge.info is very good, and even if no one comes forward to manage them, they still stand in line and are neatly arranged.

The egret summed up the clues last night and went to bed very late. However, in the morning, she was woken up by an angry Lulu. The egret didn't even know where it had offended her, so she got up to wash with a wry smile. While the Frontier Knights were gathering and waiting, they came to the hall with the others.

"The Frontier Knights, the 3rd, 7th, and 25th Brigades are here to report!" The leading knight who spoke was the deputy head of the Frontier Knights. The commander of the regiment could not easily leave the barracks without an order, and the dispatch of the deputy commander was enough to prove how much the Frontier Knights attached importance to the incident of the Blood Sacrifice Cultists.

This is also inevitable.

Most of the Frontier Knights come from cities or villages in the border region. The occurrence of such a massacre of the inhabitants of the villages in the border areas will certainly attract the highest attention. This is not only related to the overall security situation of the Divine Radiance Empire, but also closely related to the safety of themselves and their families.

Although this was the first time that the Blood Sacrifice had occurred in the border area, these knights had heard of it before. If it continues to happen, I don't know how much impact it will have on the border areas. So the knights are all puffing up, hoping to find the murderer and get rid of this filthy cancer.

The Egret's gaze first surveyed the knights. Their eyes were clear and serious, with the unique spirit of the Divine Radiance Empire's faith. If there is a blood sacrifice among them, the egret is hard to believe.

"Let's start with the first village. Seventh Brigade, what day did you find out about the bloody sacrifice in the village?" asked the egret.

The captain of the Seventh Brigade stood up and replied meticulously.

"It was five days ago. ”

"Did you also come up to patrol the other few days before?" asked the egret.

"Yes. The time of our inspections is basically fixed. The arrival time at the village is 3 p.m. every day, and there is basically an error, and it will not exceed five minutes. The captain thought for a moment and said seriously.

"So a few days before the incident, during the inspection, was there anything unusual?"

"Anomaly?" the captain frowned, questions like this were actually the most difficult to answer. What is normal in his eyes may be suspicious in the eyes of these big people who have come from the investigation, but as far as he is concerned, he really doesn't know what is worth noting.

Seeing the captain's hesitation, the egret reacted and simply changed the way of asking questions.

"Tell me what happened to you during your inspection a few days ago. ”

"We have always arrived in the village at 3pm. At that time, it was a lively time in the village, and it was not a big village in itself, and if you looked at the past, you could almost see the whole picture. If your Excellency is referring to the presence or absence of Blood Priests or outsiders, I can answer you right now. Nope!"

Egret always wanted to find out the different situations of questioning, but the captain felt that the other party did not trust, so his tone became anxious.

However, a young team member behind the captain had a hesitant expression. He wanted to open his mouth slightly, but then put it away again, as if he felt that his words, even if they were spoken, would have no intelligence value.

However, the white egret's eyes are very sharp, and he doesn't want to let go of any clues now, even if it is a guess, it is much better than a blind man touching an elephant.

The egret immediately opened his mouth to the young team member. "You seem to have something to say?"

"Uh, I'm sorry sir. I seem to be thinking about it. ”

"Then tell me what makes you want to go wrong. Egret continued to encourage.

The young team hesitated for a moment, then spoke. "That's right, I was thinking that people died in the village, and the day after the funeral, they were slaughtered by the Blood Priests. In this way, it is as if you have been spurned by the gods. ”

"Watch your words!" said Marianne, who drank instantly. Her expression was a little angry, as a pious knight of faith, Marianne could not listen to any words of suspicion or resentment towards the gods. "You should go back to the religious institute and copy the holy scriptures! Your faith has already appeared a flaw in your heart!"

"I'm sorry, Marianne. This kid has just joined the Border Knights, and these days he is a little uneasy because of the blood sacrifice incident, I will urge him to go to the religious center as soon as possible to participate in the teaching. The captain was taken aback by Marianne, the knight's unstable faith was a big problem, and he hurried to help the young knight speak, afraid that Marianne would spread the scope of the problem. "Don't apologize yet!"

"It's the captain! I'm sorry, Your Excellency Deputy Master Marianne!" The young knight, of course, knew that the captain was protecting his shortcomings, and glanced at his captain gratefully, and apologized to Marian gratefully as requested.

Marianne raised an eyebrow and stopped pursuing.

Now is not the time to make a big fuss. The most important task is the recourse of the Blood Sacrifice Cultists. As for the serious beliefs of the Frontier Knights, well, the instructors at the religious center will help them correct their attitudes.

"Alright, what about the third team, your village is the second to be slaughtered, what have you found?" continued Marianne de Egret.

The captain of the third team shook his head. "The situation was almost the same as that of the Seventh Team, who only learned about the attack on the day they noticed the change, and there was no abnormality before. ”

The captain of the 25th team also said: "It's the same situation on our side. ”

Didn't even notice the anomaly before it happened? Didn't even do anything out of the ordinary? Was it really done overnight? Did Marianne misjudge the way the Blood Rites did the crime, or did the Blood Rites have the means to speed up the progress of the Blood Sacrifice?

But there are so many things that don't make sense here.

Killing so many people overnight and completing the blood sacrifice is simply not enough time. Moreover, Marianne's understanding of the Blood Sacrifice Cultists is almost the most than that of the Holy Radiance Empire, but she is burdened with the blood hatred of her hometown being washed in blood, and this aspect should not be untargeted. The most important thing is that if there is a new means to speed up the time of the Blood Sacrifice, these Blood Sacrifice cultists will definitely not commit such a small crime. If three days can be shortened to one night, this group of guys will definitely not risk being prolonged for a long time and being detected by Shenghui and slowly carry out the slaughter.

They will inevitably complete the blood sacrifice in one time and on a large scale. Don't want the desire of human beings to increase their strength, in the records, sacrificing 100 people with blood can turn an ordinary person into a warrior like a full-fledged professional, and the physical strength can be comparable to that of a demonic creature of the same level. Even with all kinds of disgusting side effects, there are definitely many people who rush to it!

The egret pondered for a moment and continued, "Aside from the village, have you encountered anything unusual on the way?"

Several knight captains looked at each other and shook their heads at the egret. The captain of the twenty-fifth team, the last village patrol team, said, "There is one more thing, but I don't know if it is an abnormal situation. ”

"What?"

"That's right, on the day of the blood sacrifice in the village, we came across a team of corpse collectors belonging to the city of Findori on the way to the patrol. Although there is nothing wrong with it, it is relatively rare to go to the city of Findori in the afternoon. The captain frowned and said, "It stands to reason that in order not to affect the normal appearance of the city, the corpse collectors are only allowed to travel in the morning, and if they travel during the day, even if they arrive in Findori City, they will not be allowed to enter." ”

Lulu almost rolled her eyes, and after listening to it for a long time, she was talking about some useless situations. "It's strange that the corpse collector is traveling during the day, what are you paying attention to, no wonder you haven't found any trace of the Blood Sacrifice Cultists!"

This was said unceremoniously, and it made all the Border Knights look ugly. Although they didn't want to admit it, it was a very dereliction of duty to have such a big thing happen in their area without noticing the slightest sign, and Lulu unceremoniously pointed it out, making them all feel a little embarrassed.

The egret's expression twisted together, as if thinking about something. Seeing that she couldn't ask anything new, Marianne waved her hand and told the border knights to stand back for the time being.

"How the hell do these guys do it?" Lulu said with a hammer slamming on the table, her mouth indignant, "Something that is impossible to do in any way has just happened." Can these guys still control time?"

"Is there really any new technology that you have mastered? just these idiots?" Marianne was also a little puzzled, the current situation was completely unreasonable.

"Idiot?" Egret was a little concerned about the word, "Why do you say that, Doni said that blood sacrifice is a relatively high skill, and it should exist for people with some knowledge. ”

"What skills can a blood sacrifice have? With a little brain, follow any Blood Sacrifice Sect disciple for two days, and you can complete the Blood Sacrifice by yourself. Marianne said disdainfully, "At most, it is difficult to form the ratio of corpse bones and magic crystal liquid, and if you know the proportion, it is not difficult to complete it at all." ”

Doni was stunned for a moment, "But what about that black vat, it is not common to produce materials that absorb life force, these are also prohibited circulation materials of the major empires, how can they be made without a certain technology." ”

"Black Market!" Fiona suddenly reacted, "You can buy these materials on the black market! As long as you find the manager of the Shenghui Black Market, you can check the transaction records!"

"Stupid, how can there be a record of someone's identity on the black market!, do you think it's an official deal!" retorted Lulu, who had been involved in the fight against black market trading and knew about black market transactions.

"You're stupid, even if you don't have an identity record, but the process of trading is face-to-face! The manager must remember what the person who buys the materials is like, and if he didn't have the ability to do so, he wouldn't have been appointed as the manager at all!" Fiona said unconvinced.

Listening to the discussion of several people, the egret had an idea in his heart.

"It's really a place to explore. Marianne, you and Fiona work together to find out what is going on on the black market manager's side. ”

"Lulu, Doni, the three of us together, to find out the recent sales of magic crystal liquid, now the information is more complicated, I have a hunch, these Blood Sacrifice cultists will definitely make another move in the near future, we must find these guys before that!"

"And then, one of them is slaughtered!" (To be continued.) )
