Chapter 437: An Order That Must Be Executed
Maffeo resisted his discomfort and tried not to look at the bloody scene, because it would always make the Kazan in him want to move. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info So he turned his head away and looked at the trembling guards in the distance. At this moment, he actually felt that those guys were pitiful and ridiculous. The Duchy Guards are no match for the Delos Empire in terms of fighting ability or fighting will, and even in the face of monsters that cause harm to the town, they can't show the slightest courage.
Dominic snorted disdainfully, such an ending was not what he wanted, and it became a pity that he couldn't send that guy to the gods with his own hands. Evie, on the other hand, calmly walked up to the pretender's shattered body, looking at the blood all over the ground, and a hint of pity flashed in her eyes. "Do you want to say goodbye to them, Evie?" said Dominic, hesitantly.
"Just to fulfill the obligations of a priest. Evie replied.
"Then hurry up, the Duchy's guards will be cleaning up the scene in a few moments. And we don't think there's any time to rest, and I'm sure those guys will talk to everyone involved in this fight. You know, to get a little more detailed, both the Order and the Town Hall do that. Dominic reminded that he himself was only unhappy with this approach.
Evie raised her right hand, ready to bid farewell to the pretender who had been shattered by the explosion. One might say that he is to blame, but the priesthood will never judge a purified soul because it is contrary to God's will. "May you rest in peace......" Just as she was about to release the light that enveloped the body of the pretender, a shout from the knights of the principality interrupted her. "Wait, cleric!"
Evie stiffly stopped what she was doing, and then looked over - she saw the knight Lobach standing not far away, with a blank face. "Knight?"
"Don't touch the dead pretenders, it's an order of the Duchy!" Lobach said.
"This won't have an impact on your investigation!" Evie was still trying to accomplish her goal.
"Priests, think carefully about the consequences of what you do!"
"But......" Evie was about to say something, but Golantis' voice interrupted her. "Since it is an order of the principality, then we will definitely obey it!"
"Lord Golantis?" Evie looked at Golantis in surprise.
Aside from the polite words that were ostensibly used to deal with each other, Golantis never said a word to the guys in the Duchy again. She walked over to Evie and whispered. "The Bishop has agreed to the principality's decision, so don't do anything that will embarrass both parties. ”
"Is that really right?" asked Evie.
"When it's all over, you're ready to get out of here. While you may have heard many people say that Queen Skady was an empathetic monarch, you should know that she doesn't have a lot of real power. Golantis kept his voice to a minimum, and it would be devastating for any of the guards to hear such words.
"I see. Evie whispered.
Maffeo and Camilli, who had thought of leaving at the end of the day, were in a situation where they were extremely distressed, because it was clear that everyone present had to be questioned before they could leave, on the orders of the Duchy. So the guards stepped forward to stop the two who wanted to leave, and in such a situation, rash action would obviously only put themselves in a disadvantageous situation. Camilli stopped, not taking a single step, for she also wanted to know the secrets of the impostors
Maffeo gritted his teeth, but Camili swallowed his anger back into his stomach at the gesture of his eyes. The guards seemed to think they were all right, but Maffeo suddenly drew his broadsword - and at that moment the scene began to become tense. The guards raised their weapons, and Camille tried to stop Maffeo while the clergy watched from the sidelines.
"What are you doing, Maffeo?" asked Camille anxiously, trying to stop Maffeo.
The corners of Maffeo's mouth curled up and he spoke. "If only these guys could show such courage when facing the forces of the Delos Empire. He smiled disdainfully and threw his greatsword on the ground. "Make no mistake about it, gentlemen. I was just thinking that it would be too weird to be talking with a big sword on my back, and it would make me look a little more "harmless", wouldn't it? I'm a ghost swordsman, and I'm one of the suspects in killing Count Damian's daughter. ”
"Do you know something, ghost swordsman?" Lobach walked up to Maffeo and glanced at the great sword lying quietly on the ground.
"Oh, interesting, it looks like you're a freak too?" said Maffeo, raising the corners of his mouth, the ghost swordsmen always perceiving each other in such a timely manner.
"I'm asking you questions. Lobach ignored Maffeo's almost provocative words.
"What is in front of you now is a great opportunity. Maffeo deliberately set his gaze on the shattered pretender, and Lobach followed Maffeo's gaze, a puzzled look on her face. "What do you mean?"
Maffeo smiled, "The answer may be within your reach, and I don't want to waste time, so I think the sooner the conversation starts, the better." ”
Lobach silently withdrew his gaze, then waved his hand and motioned for the guards to lead the two men in front of him to the conversation room in the town hall. "They're not prisoners, so you have to be respectful of anyone present who participated in the confrontation with the Pretenders, you know what to do!" she added to the guards.
"Yes, Lord Lobach!"
Standing outside the blockade, Warhammer who had everything in his eyes whistled and said his own assessment of Lobach. "A puppet who obeys orders. ”
"What are you talking about, Warhammer?" Blackburn asked.
"I think you should understand why we all have to stay away from politics. Do you see the knight? Do you think she's doing well?" said Warhammer, grabbing Blackburn's neck.
"Anyway, I feel like you're on the wrong track. But obviously, Maffeo can't do anything drastic, so it looks like we'll have to wait. Blackburn gently pulled away Warhammer's arm.
"If it were me, I'd create a puff of smoke in place and leave there like a ghost. Warhammer spread his hands.
"That's you, Warhammer, that's you. Blackburn waved his hand helplessly.
Lobach picked up the greatsword that Maffeo had thrown in place, and handed it to his guards, telling them to return it to Maffeo at the end of the conversation. At least at this point, they don't do anything too much. Despite the fact that the order had to be carried out, the guards still maintained that respect for them after removing the pretenders.
"Queen Skady, I hope you don't blame me......" Lobach muttered as he looked at the town hall.
In order to restore order to Huttonmar as quickly as possible, the Duchy's guards disposed of the impostor's corpse. The nobles who gave orders were like that, unwilling to leave matters to the clergy, even if they were left to unprofessional guards. Either way, the bodies of the impostors will eventually be sent to Huttonmar Cemetery, and some superficial work will have to be done to cater to Queen Skady and the people of Huttonmar.
While dealing with the shattered body of the Impostor, a family coat of arms falling from a severed arm was noticed by Lobach. She walked over and picked up the coat of arms, and the moment she saw the lines on the coat of arms, her expression became solemn. "The ...... of the Damian Family"
