Chapter 36: The Witch Who Reveals Her Identity
Through Uncle Raul's narration, Murray has a more detailed understanding of the current situation in the Sun Empire.
Such a powerful country in the western continent, in fact, has been full of contradictions from beginning to end, between the Holy See and the royal family, between the royal family and the local lords, between the local lords and the Holy See, there are open and secret contradictions between the three parties, and many contradictions have long been deep-rooted, almost irreconcilable, which has created the endless internal struggle within the Sun Empire today.
Of course, whether it is the Holy See on the theocratic side, the royal family on the imperial side, or the lords who have private rights in fiefs entrenched in various places, they do not want to tear their faces directly.
After all, the Sun Empire still has many enemies around, and once the forces within the Sun Empire start a war, they are undoubtedly giving others a chance.
Therefore, the parties of the three powers came up with a way to fight behind their backs, that is, to support gangsters and use the power of the people to restrain their opponents.
The gangsters that exist in Viscount Lane's territory naturally have the support of divine power and imperial power behind them.
Among them, the Sunflower Choir is supported by the local church, which is naturally a gangster supported by the theocracy in Viscount Lane.
The other tavern guild has a deeper backer, the royal tavern guild, which occupies the entire empire, which is more powerful, and is naturally backed by imperial power.
There are two gangsters who control the underground world, which divides the power and influence of Viscount Ryan to a certain extent.
Murray figured out the intricate relationship, looked at Uncle Raul and said, "In other words, Viscount Lane raised the Bad Boy Brotherhood just to be able to snatch control of the underground world and fight against divine power and imperial power?"
Uncle Raul nodded: "Yes, it is precisely because of this that Viscount Ryan must choose a trustworthy person to control the Bad Boy Brotherhood, and Jack, the bastard son, is undoubtedly the best choice." ”
After hearing this, Murray said with some annoyance: "Well, then I'm really unlucky to let me bump into such a guy." ”
Uncle Raul also felt a little helpless at this time, feeling that Murry's luck was too bad to meet the illegitimate son arranged by Viscount Lane.
The most important thing is that Jack seems to have a conflict with Murray, and the two of them have battled wits and courage many times in Downtown.
Thinking of this, Uncle Raul suddenly asked a little strangely: "You have encountered him many times before, why did you kill him this time?"
Faced with Uncle Raul's question, Murray suddenly didn't know how to answer?
Yes, he and Jack have encountered more than once, and each time it was a battle of wits between the two sides, but this time he killed Jack.
I began to think about how to make this lie come true, how to make Uncle Raul believe it?
As the two of them fall silent in the grocery store, Murray struggles to figure out how to explain how to fool Uncle Raul.
There was a loud bang in the backyard, followed by a flurry of noises that made the entire grocery store shake.
The one big and the one in the grocery store looked at each other, and then quickly rushed to the backyard to see what was going on in the backyard?
When the door to the backyard was pushed open, two figures stood opposite each other in the small courtyard, and they were two women who were both wearing black velvet and running.
Uncle Raul turned his head angrily and roared at Murray, "Little bastard, didn't you say she was your cousin? ”
Murray spread his hands a little helplessly, and then replied unceremoniously: "But Uncle Raul, you have been lying to me, Aunt Shanna, she also seems to be a witch, right?"
Two witches with beautiful faces, black velvet robes can't hide their graceful figures.
Both of them had a strange magical aura rising from their bodies, and they also did not use any auxiliary mechanical devices, and even Qianqianyu did not hold a staff in her hand.
But when the two of them stood there facing each other in the air, the magic elements around them jumped excitedly, which showed the strength of their own magic.
The temperament of the two women is different, although they are both witches, but the temperament of Salia is obviously more youthful and lively, while Aunt Shana reveals a more calm and elegant temperament.
Seeing the tension between the two women, Murray couldn't help but pat Uncle Raul in front of him and asked, "What should I do now?"
Uncle Raul turned his head and said angrily, "You ask me, who am I going to ask, why didn't you tell me beforehand?"
Murray replied with an innocent face: "I, I don't know, besides, you didn't tell me that Aunt Shanna is also a witch." ”
After a pause, Murray asked with some surprise, "But, since both of them are witches, why do they do it when they meet?"
Uncle Raul turned his head and shouted directly: "Okay, don't ask questions, hurry up and find a way to stop the two of them." ”
Hearing Uncle Raul's roar, Murray did not hesitate at all, and rushed out of the door, said to the flower garden in the small courtyard, and said to the two people standing in the air: "Don't, don't do it, this is a misunderstanding, please don't do it again, otherwise this big night, if the military police or the church guys are attracted to it, it will not be a good thing for all of us." ”
After Murray suddenly rushed out and said this, the two women standing in the air stopped almost at the same time.
The aura around them gradually dissipated, and the exciting magical elements surrounding them also calmed down, and the black velvet robes on their bodies disappeared in an instant.
The moment their feet hit the ground, the two of them returned to their usual appearance almost at the same time, the big sister next door and the kind aunt.
But at the moment when the eyes of the two met, they turned their heads to the side almost at the same time, and "hummed" to each other in unison.
But before the humming of the two landed, there was a sudden sound of "rustling" footsteps outside the small courtyard.
The two witches, who had already returned to their usual appearance, put on black velvet robes again almost instantly, and disappeared into the small courtyard out of thin air.
Seeing the two witches chasing down the people who were secretly observing, Murray looked at Uncle Raul, who was still standing in front of the back door of the grocery store, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Uncle Raul, I think you can close the shop early today." ”
Uncle Raul quickly turned around and shouted as he walked back to the shop, "Then what are you still doing in a daze? ”
Watching Uncle Raul, who walked into the grocery store, grabbed a gun and two boxes of ammunition, and then rushed out of the grocery store.
Murray licked his lips excitedly, then reached out and slapped his palm on his chest, as the machinery on his chest began to work.
Then he drew a very ordinary flintlock pistol from his waist, and with the force under his feet, he jumped out of the courtyard of Uncle Raul's house, and ran down the dimly lit street.
The night is always intoxicating, especially after sunset, when darkness covers the city as night falls, and the killing begins in earnest.
Whether it's Uncle Raul and Aunt Shanna, or Murray and Salia, they don't want to see the previous scene of the confrontation between the two witches being spread.
Therefore, the guys who lurked in the dark and saw the movement in the small courtyard before must be cleaned up tonight, and they must not be allowed to see the sun tomorrow.
