"Can anyone explain to Benjue what happened?"

Faced with the lord's man's arrogant question, Lutga took a step forward and asked unhurriedly-

"Mr. Lord, I should have asked this question. Can you explain what's going on here?"

"Huh? I heard you right. No matter how you look at the tragic situation around you, it's your masterpiece, right? ”

"That's right, knocking these people out is indeed what they did. But I did this for the sake of the safety of everyone present. ”

"What do you mean, young man......?"

Rutega waved his hand and replied without humility or arrogance.

"Mr. Lord, we are knights who belong to the 'Imperial Guards Knights-Legendary Blade', and we are responsible for maintaining the peace of the Empire. Recently, I received a secret report that the venue run by you is suspected of human slave trafficking and the abuse of banned drugs. ”

Mostly.

In fact, Lutga's heart was already flustered, his stomach hurt so much that he almost cramped, and on the surface he still had to put on a confident posture.

As for whether this place is run by the lord, of course, Lutega does not know, he is just guessing.

Of course, this is not unfounded speculation, you must know that less than half an hour after the incident, the lord personally arrived at the scene with a large group of men, and the speed of the response was too fast, no matter how you look at it, it is not just a coincidence - that being said, this cannot be regarded as evidence.

Now Lutga had no choice but to put on some big hats on the other party, and while carefully observing the lord's reaction, he racked his brains and continued.

"After entering the scene and witnessing the abnormal mental state of the adults present, it is reasonable to conclude that they have fallen into some kind of dangerous drug poisoning. Out of desperation, he cured it and took a slightly rougher approach to control the scene. ”

"Oh...... In other words, young man, you broke into Benjue's place and injured important subordinates and customers, and Benjue still has to thank you?"

"Thank you, thank you, you're welcome...... But later, even if you don't come to us, we plan to visit us in person and ...... to you, Mr. Lord. That is, the person in charge of the operation of [Paradise], to know some details about these 'drugs'. ”

As he spoke, Lut flashed the container in his hand.

"I thought you were going to say something...... You say it's a banned drug? Haha, it's a joke! It's just a generic drug. After all, [Paradise] is such a place, and it is natural to have these things! What kind of abnormal mental condition do you have to say? The customers are just in high spirits and have a lot of fun! Even the 'Blade of Legends' can't just rely on some rumors in the market to challenge the authority of the nobility! Stinky boy...... Don't keep kicking me in the face. ”

"Dare to ask your lordship...... What are the materials of these so-called 'kitsch'?"

"Ben is a lord, not a pharmacist. Even if there are any troublesome things in it, Ben Jue doesn't know anything! Now Ben Jue just wants to arrest a few of you lawbreakers who destroy property and wantonly hurt people!"

The lord's answer was as expected by Rutega. After all, there is no evidence, and it may become very difficult to continue to delay time under this excuse.

I have to say that this is the evil result of my own mistakes. If they had followed Stein's advice, they might have escaped.

However, Lutga could not let go of the 'abnormal behavior' of the previous nobles in any case.

Because of the situation of Fang Cai, it evokes some old memories of Lutga.

Eight years ago, in the imperial capital of Zessertorel, in the midst of what was known as the 'Bloody Suppression', some Imperial soldiers went into a frenzy and pointed their weapons at innocent people.

At that time, the abnormal mental state of the rioting soldiers was very similar to that of the nobles before them—they did not feel fear or pain at all, but blindly beaten, violated, and killed...... At that time, Lutga had to kill a large number of his compatriots, including some friends who called him brothers.

At least in Lutega's mind, these people are not dangerous people who will commit violence against the citizens. But their crazy actions and figures at that time are still etched in Lutega's mind to this day.

"Hey...... Rutega, what to do?"

Stan asked softly.

There are two options that can be thought of.

First, forcibly break through. With the power of the 'Elven Blessing', it should be a breeze to sweep away the ordinary soldiers present. But this will undoubtedly leave a bane. Attacking the territory's private soldiers would make Stan's and Luka's position in the Order very dangerous.

Second, if they are captured, the three of them will be arrested by the lord, and Raqi will be ...... again In any case, the latter must be avoided, and Rutega does not want to let Lachi, who looks indistinguishable from "Flora", fall back into the fire pit. Although this is just his own willful private feelings.

"Hahahaha...... Okay, okay, that's almost the end of the monkey show -- Stan Elrond, Luca Miruda...... And Rutega Crusnier. ”

"What-!?"

The lord unexpectedly called out the names of the three men, which startled Lutga's heart. It turned out that from the beginning, their identities had been revealed. This means that from the imperial capital to here, the route he decided at will has been completely mastered.

"Uncle, you know a lot!" Suddenly, Stan laughed fearlessly, "If you know who we are, of course you should know how much we are capable of!"

"Shi, Senior Stein!"

"What are you afraid of Luka, and then I'll think about it slowly! Now find a way to slap your ass and flash people!"

With that, Stan draws the long sword from his waist, and the blade silently ignites the flames of the red lotus, threatening the soldiers in all directions.

Stan, however, stared at the flames of the sword and frowned.

-- It's so weak that the firepower of the 'Holy Spirit's blessing is less than 30% of the usual.

"Oh, in the 'enchantment', you can still use flames, it seems that it really lives up to its reputation...... But don't get carried away with the watchdogs of the royal family!

As soon as the words fell, the flames condensed in the sword body dispersed with the wind, turning into an extremely ordinary knight's long sword that was only beautifully shaped.

"How can it be ......!

"What's the matter, watchdog, isn't the proud 'Holy Elf' at home?"

"Luca!"

"No, no, Stan-senpai! I'm ...... I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's some kind of special enchantment that cuts off the connection between the 'elven realm' and the 'present realm'......"

"Cut! No wonder I didn't notice the aura of these guys just now!"

- Oops!

The corners of Lutga's eyes swept over the two of his companions, and sweat beaded on his forehead.

Although he has retired, he knows that the strength of the Legendary Blade depends on the blessing of the Holy Spirit. Unlike the real Legendary Blade eight years ago, the young ones were still far from reaching the heights of 'Saint-level warriors'.

If they seal the "magic skills" that are comparable to elemental magic and the physical enhancement brought by the elves, they are just warriors who are stronger than ordinary soldiers, and they cannot resist the violence called 'quantity' head-on.

"Hahahaha, aren't you surprised? I'm afraid that the wine bags and rice bags in the imperial capital can't even dream of it! The killer weapon that he relies on has turned into scrap copper and rotten iron! As long as Ben Jue has this will, he can wave his troops at any time and take the imperial capital in one fell swoop!"

The lord confessed in a loud voice that he had been looking for a solution to the Legendary Blade since he had probably been looking for a countermeasure to the Blade of Legends. Speaking of which, some small-scale rebellions around the imperial capital in recent years may have been bait to lure out the 'Blade of Legends' for research. And the bad comments of the 'Blade of Legends' among the people may also be part of the preparations.

"Uncle, is it really good to tell us all this honestly?"

"It's nothing good or bad, because Benjue changed his mind just now, since the matter of 'medicine' has been revealed, and after letting you live, it will only leave trouble, so please die here obediently......"

After the lord finished speaking, his eyes revealed a cruel killing intent, and with a wave of his hand, he was about to order the surrounding soldiers to swarm up.

Not good, very bad.

Rutga could even sense the unidentified malice coming from the shadows. Something, is trying to prevent itself from returning to Celia.

Looking back, since he was recalled to the imperial capital, his actions have been like marionettes.

And after leaving the imperial capital, he deliberately chose a dangerous route to avoid people's eyes, but the result was counterproductive...... Perhaps his whereabouts have been predicted for a long time.

However, if you think about it deeply, the thieves before and the Laki behind them have also become quite suspicious.

In the city he passed, he happened to encounter an interracial girl in distress, and she also looked exactly like his fiancée, who had been dead for many years. And in order to rescue her, he had to step into this special building and witness a crazy dinner party.

As if the timing had been right, the lord and the army he brought with him blocked the 'Holy Spirit Blessing' and cornered several people at the same time.

- Can it really be said to be a coincidence? Or is it trapped in a clever layout? Who would set up a game to frame a nobody like themselves? What's the point?

Rutga couldn't answer a series of questions, and he didn't have time to think deeply, because the soldiers around him, and the sharp weapons in their hands, were gradually closing in on him.

"Rutega Crusnier?"

And at this juncture, the melodious voice played like a musical instrument sounded in vain.

From behind Lutga, I saw the girl, who was squeezing the long collar that Lutga had put on her with her hand. She lifted her face to the young man standing in front of her, looked up slightly, and smiled beautifully.

The smiling face, exuding a brilliance that was so beautiful, instantly made everyone present, including the lord and his soldiers, feel as if they were frozen.

"Hmm...... Answer: You're Rutega Crusnier, aren't you?"

"Ahh......h In the ...... of Lower Rutega Crusnier"

Lutga forgot to think and could only respond instinctively.

In retrospect, before she could introduce herself, the girl didn't know who she was until a few seconds ago, until the lord called out Lutga's name.

"Hmm...... Alice's father?"

"No, that's right. The eldest daughter's name is Alice. ”

"Hmm...... That's right...... Found you. Finally, I've found you. It's you, great. ”

The girl whispered a short sentence of unknown reason, and then slowly felt the azure 'magic crystal' from the pocket of the long coat that originally belonged to Lutga.

Time - stood still.

This is not an illusion, just the moment the girl named Ratchi holds the blue gem in her hand, the world around Lutega seems to be stripped from the troubles of the world, and falls into a permanent and peaceful stillness.

The desperate situation that had left him desperate a moment ago seemed to have become indifferent.

"I've got you, my beloved lover. ”
