The egret was the first to go and the first to come out. He sat in a trance on the stone steps at the entrance of the church www.biquge.info his pen.

Coming in the back are Ilian, Dhoni, Nina, Lulu, and Fiona. Dressed as a knight of the Holy Radiance, he walked around the church.

Like the egrets, Lulu and Fiona vomit a mess.

Fiona was even paralyzed, she had seen the inform, but she had not been to the scene. The visual stimuli here are too great for her to bear.

Marianne still has a bland expression, bland and chilling. "If there are no further details to explore, then the bodies of the villagers can be buried now. ”

"How can you be so calm!" Fiona screamed suddenly, startling everyone with a loud voice. "There! There..." she couldn't say the rest of the story, and her whole body was trembling.

"Cruel, isn't it?" said Marianne. "It's hard to understand a greenhouse flower like you, isn't it?"

"You!" Fiona struggled to her feet, but her legs went limp.

Nina held her up and silently shook her head at Fiona, telling her not to continue talking.

"Blood Priests. Dhoni pondered for a moment before speaking. "There is no record of such simple and evil villains in the ancient books, and I do not remember any doctrine that would make such a desecration against the human body. ”

"What a damn bunch!" Lulu relieved her breath, "I'm going to kill them!"

"In short, we must first summarize our existing clues and circumstances before we can make a judgment. Egret, Egret?" said Doni, pushing his glasses. However, the egret still sat there, not responding.

Maybe the impact of this scene is indeed a bit big, looking at the egret sitting there as if in a daze, everyone did not bother, but looked at each other, silently making room for the egret.

Marianne didn't leave, she sat down next to the egret. After a quiet period of more than ten minutes, he slowly spoke: "The first time I joined the Knights, the mission I participated in was to deal with the Blood Sacrifice Cultists. ”

"Can you imagine the reaction of a female knight who has just turned 16 and picked up a sword for the first time when she saw the scene?" Marianne laughed to herself, "I was much worse than you were at that time." ”

The egret seemed to react to Marianne's words and turned to look at Marianne. "How did you recover?

"Slow down?" Marianne smiled, "I've never slowed down. The first village slaughtered by the Blood Priests was my hometown. ”

When these words were spoken, the egret's entire expression froze.

"I have the same nightmare every day. In my dreams, I watched my parents, my brothers, my sisters, my friends, my home, all my own, tumbling in that big round vat. I could see their wailing expressions, hear their howls of pain, and be questioned by them every night. Why didn't I go and save them. ”

"Over the years, my nightmares have not stopped once. Egret, you asked me how I got over? I'm sorry, I can't answer you. ”

"This is the origin of the wrath of the wrath?" Egret laughed to himself, "Sure enough, compared to you, I, the so-called Knight King, am like a simple child. Perhaps, then you are better suited than me to be..."

"Enough!" said Marianne, whose tone turned cold, "win or lose, or be in a state of mind." You are already in that position, and you have to take up the burden that you should bear. Besides, you will lose your qualifications as a knight. ”

The egret fell silent, and he looked into Marianne's gaze, as if for the first time a feeling called responsibility welled up in his heart. This kind of responsibility is not just a simple responsibility for things. It's a feeling of expectation, a prayer.

He looked at Nina, who was looking at him worriedly not far away, Lulu who was gritting her teeth and saying something fiercely, Fiona, who was looking ugly and became very quiet, and Illion, who was holding himself up, and Doni, who was frowning.

He had a lot of companions. He didn't have any of them to bear it. He is also the backbone of these partners.

The Knight King is such a sustenance.

"Whew. Egret exhaled, "I'm sorry, I'm a little sentimental." ”

Marianne rolled her eyes and said insincerely. "So, I'm most annoyed by you knights raised in greenhouses. ”

Seeing Marianne smile faintly, the egret laughed too.

"Okay, let's get together and synthesize the information. ”

"The incident happened three days ago on the night. The priest of the Holy Radiance had already checked the scene, and this was the closest time he could tell. This is a border village, very close to the border post, and patrols pass through this village every day. It stands to reason that if there is anything abnormal, it will never escape the eyes of the border knights. ”

"When did the Frontier Knight arrive in the village?" Dhoni asked.

"Afternoon, every afternoon. After the incident, it was also discovered by the border knights in the afternoon. ”

"So, the Blood Cultists arrived in the village after the afternoon, almost in the evening. After committing the crime, he left the next day before the Frontier Knights came to patrol the next day?"

"But it doesn't make sense. This kind of killing project can't be done in a few days. "So it's impossible to do it in one night." ”

"Is it the same with the other two villages?" asked the egret.

"Not bad. Because the situation in the border villages is almost all the same. It is close to Ambra, and there is a lot of business between the two countries. Therefore, the patrols of the border knights will also be carried out every day, in addition to preventing invasions, in fact, it is more about catching smugglers. Marianne replied.

"Could it be a caravan coming and going?" said Fiona suddenly, "The Blood Rite Cultists disguised themselves as caravans and infiltrated the village. Take advantage of the simplicity of the villagers to hide, then suddenly commit a crime, and then leave. This will allow you to move on to the next village to commit the crime. ”

"It can't be. The caravan will be registered. There are also many tests to be done. If the Blood Cultists had done it disguised as a caravan, it would have been impossible for them to go without traces on the way. The smell of the Blood Sacrifice Cultists is very strong, and there is no reason why the border knights can't find out. ”

"Maybe the Frontier Knights and the Blood Rites have teamed up. Fiona pursed her lips, her hard-earned clue rejected by Marianne, and her face was unhappy.

This is a bit excessive, most of the people accompanying Shenghui here are members of the Border Knights, and when they heard Fiona's words, they were all angry, and even two of them drew their swords and wanted to go up to fight Fiona!

"Stop talking nonsense. The egret sighed helplessly and reached out to stop the angry knights. The face of the knight king is still very large, and even if they are dissatisfied, these knights are very obedient and put away their swords.

"How many days does it take for such a crime to be committed?" asked Marianne.

Marianne thought for a moment, "Three days, at least three days." ”

Three days, but only one night?

Judging from the reaction of the border knights just now, the possibility of colluding with the Blood Sacrifice cultists is very low. The caravan's words, Marianne was right, the patrols to prevent smuggling were so frequent, and this group of Blood Sacrifice cultists had killed people again, drank such a disgusting liquid, carried weapons, and smelled huge all over their bodies, it was impossible not to be detected.

However, judging from the results of its own inspection, it is clear that the incident occurred only one night. This does not match what Marianne said about three days.

"Three days is a necessary time for the magic in the black vat to ferment. Only during that period can Blood Priests drink liquids to increase their magic power or battle qi. Marianne saw the egret's doubts and explained.

Egret was stunned for a moment, if there is this premise, then the necessity of three days is absolute. If this group of guys can do such a disgusting thing, they will definitely not let themselves leave without gain.

"One more thing. The environment of the village, the drying up of these plants, the blackening of the ground, is it formed slowly, or is it achieved overnight?"

"As soon as the liquid in the black tank is completed, it will absorb a large amount of life force, producing a liquid with an energy-boosting effect. I guess it was that moment. Marianne responded.

"This group of people has a way of avoiding the absorbed life force, or they don't care and just replace the lost energy with the formed liquid. "They should have a certain amount of knowledge, and this method of absorbing life force is not something that can be done simply." ”

"The tank. Speaking of this, the egret's expression was a little unnatural. "Is that a special item?"

"Judging by the fact that these people have left it without hesitation, this thing should not be a precious item. ”

That's right. The egret was a little distressed, just having seen the scene, there were too many things that were difficult to explain.

Three villages have been killed one after the other, and each one is basically the same. The day before it was fine, but the next day the whole village died. The ritual of the Blood Sacrifice Cultists is at least three days, that is, two days must be concealed. Moreover, there must not be any anomalies yet.

"There's no way to know exactly how these guys do it. The egret didn't have a clue, "Let's go back to the city first." ”

After looking at the people at the scene, even Marianne and the others, who had the most stable faces, needed to ease down for a while, and the words of the egret to go back and settle down at this time were really in line with people's hearts.

The decision was upheld, and the group returned to the train and headed for the border city, Findori.

This is the closest city to the border, and more than a thousand of Ambra's knights are placed in the city's military district. Egret and the others lived in the noble mansion, and for their arrival, the great nobles here vacated the entire mansion to house His Royal Highness Illian and His Royal Highness Nina.

No one is in the mood to participate in the dinner party. Even Nina went back to her room early to rest. She had to be with Fiona, who was a little emotionally broken, and if she was accompanied, she might be a little better.

The same goes for Lulu, who accompanies her with Marianne. Although she looks like a violent woman, when it comes into contact, Marianne is a delicate guy. After a few sentences, Lulu became a common enemy, and went back to her room with Marianne to rest.

Egret and Doni, both of whom were still puzzled in their hearts, searched for some criminal records about the Blood Sacrifice Cultists, and came to Egret's room. Let's explore the clues. (To be continued.) )
