Chapter 50: The Night of Murder (1)
When he was buried, except for Charon and Illya, only Wall and Renault remained, and the rest were asked to leave.
"Wall, Renault, it's time to go. ”
Hearing Charon's order, Renault opened the top lid of the coffin with one hand, and Wall took out a turquoise glass bottle and sprinkled the unknown liquid in the bottle on Ente's body.
In just a moment, Ente's skin glowed white, and his body turned into a little light, and the breeze blew and completely dissipated into the air.
Illya covered her mouth and watched in amazement, she didn't know what was going on, and was about to ask, when Charon's voice gently drifted into her ears.
"After Odin, there is no family cemetery for the Del family. After the death of each head of the family, he will choose to be buried in place. However, the corpse of the Great Knight is very valuable, and in order to avoid being used by some evil forces with witchcraft or experiments to tarnish the glory of Del, the body is usually photogenicized and decomposed with purified water. ”
Illya opened her mouth, but didn't say anything after all, every head of the Del family seemed to be just a tool to promote the prosperity of the family, and after death did not enjoy the glory they deserved.
After Ente's body was decomposed, only a set of clothes was left to lie quietly in the coffin, and Charon nodded at Renault, signaling that the coffin could be buried.
Renault put the wooden coffin into the hole he had dug, and out of respect for the previous head of the family, he did not use the strength of his fighting spirit, but just filled the earth with a shovel.
After all this was over, Charon said to Illya: "Illya, you go back and rest first, my brother still has things to do." ”
"Renault, you escort Illya back. ”
"Yes, sir!"
When Charon's identity changed, whether it was in terms of title or attitude, he and Renault had changed, not because he was unkind, but as the head of the family, rules and majesty were more important.
"Brother, you must be careful. ”
Illya followed Renault empathetically, leaving Charon and Wall alone in the dead graveyard.
"Wall, have you found all the hiding places of the rats?"
Charon's eyes became sharp, in the past, this suppression trial allowed the family master to adapt to the sudden acquisition of the great knight power, but Charon did not plan to rely on the Black Ring.
Not to mention that the more the Black Ring is used, the faster Odin's will will reappears, and another important reason is that he wants to improve his strength through this trial.
Entering the new year in half a month, the 18-year-old junior knight level sounds like he has a bright future, but this is far from enough, what he needs is not potential, but real strength that can be felt.
Wall whistled to the sky, and a small black dot in the sky slowly grew larger, and an eagle flew down at great speed. Before the eagle arrived, a wave of air swept in advance, blowing Charon's bangs away.
Wall stretched out an arm to the side, and the eagle adjusted the angle of his wings to cushion the descent, but when the two talons grabbed Wall's arm, they still pushed Wall's arm down considerably.
Wall relaxed the strength of his hands, just afraid that the impact would crush the talons, these unruly fellows were good messengers, but they often didn't know what to do, and they were bruised all over their bodies.
Opening the wooden tube tied to his claws, Wall took out a few rolled notes from it and opened them to show Charon, "Young Master, the shadows that other forces have fought in Peter City, as long as they were exposed some time ago, have found them. ”
Charon memorized all the locations reported on paper, a dozen locations in total, involving sixty-seven transcendents, "Very well, you go and prepare a carriage for me, and go to the farthest place, from the outside in, tonight is the time when my hunt begins." ”
Wall nodded yes, and turned to leave to arrange the matter, and the entire cemetery became empty, except for Charon and the many tombstones
Czech neighborhood in Peterstadt.
If there are dark corners everywhere, then the Czech neighborhood is the most chaotic part of Peterstadt, where drugs, human trafficking, gambling, and murder competitions can be found here if you are willing to spend money.
The federation has begun to democratize the rule of law, but there are always some corners where there is a stain, these illegal businesses are run by gangs, and behind them often stand nobles, or there are people in power as an umbrella, as long as they do not show off, do not reach out to the natives for no reason, then their existence will be protected to a certain extent.
In a gloomy tavern, with only a few sparse customers pouring fine wine, it seems that business is not very good.
But this is just the appearance, the real business of the tavern is a killing competition, the venue is below the tavern, although it is not a large-scale competition, there are still many people who come to watch every day, and there are more than 200 tickets sold after ten games a day, and the cost to pay is only a few low-priced slaves, which is almost equal to profiteering, which can be called the industry of gold absorbers.
A slave only plays one game a day, and if he loses, he is dead, while if he wins, he can eat normal food and continue to wait for another game tomorrow.
Matthew is a rookie in the last few days, and his five-game winning streak has made all the viewers remember him, he came from the Flying Wing Kingdom, was defeated and captured and sold into slavery, and he was a good product that the tavern owner only found the other day.
Inside the gloomy dungeon, cramped cells huddled together, smelling sour and stinky.
The tavernkeeper, the organizer of the murder contest, endured the feeling of vomiting, went to a cell and admonished: "Matthew, wait until you are fighting Basque, I have drugged him with food, and when the fight reaches a certain point, the effect of the medicine will kick in." You've got to be a little bit worse in the early stages and come back at the end so I can make more money. If you don't do what I say, you know the consequences. ”
The man huddled in the corner of the cell stood up, chains on his hands and feet thumping with a cold sound, "I see. ”
Seeing Matthew's interest, Hobie moved his fat body and left, the Basque hap is ten consecutive championships, gets a week's rest, eats and drinks enough, and is full of energy, Hobie doesn't think Matthew can win, so most of the audience must think so.
However, there must always be accidents in the game in order to earn enough eyeballs, those guests who bet on the Basque Country can lose their money, and he, the bookmaker, can earn more.
Looking at the back of Hobie leaving, a cold glint flashed in Matthew's eyes, "Dog mongrel, when I leave, it will be your death!"
After Ente's death, the city of Peter was sealed off layer by layer, and Matthew, who knew the virtues of the Del family, immediately came to the dark area of the city, set fire to the yard where the slaves were held, disguised as a slave and escaped with other slaves, and was captured by the situation.
The heads of these slaves who managed them have been "tragically" killed, and who else will remember them like pigs and dogs.
Sure enough, this kind of place is the safest, but there is only food that dogs don't want to eat, and the environment is dirtier than the pigsty, even if he wins five games, the treatment will be slightly improved.
In addition to trying to escape from this cage, the second thing Matthew wants to do now is chop the mongrel Hobie into meat sauce.
However, he did not have the opportunity to do these things until the Del family had cleansed the city of Peter, and sometimes he was proud of his wit, and he could not endure what others could not endure so that he would not die in aggrieved form.
Now is not the time to talk about this, wait for him to have a ridiculous "life and death struggle" with humble ordinary people, and the waste that can be poked to death with one hand is actually asking him to spend time to cooperate.
