Chapter 213: Bloodline Tracing (3)
In the smoke-filled bedroom, Mr. Strons was once again circling the wolf's head, muttering obscure incantations.
Jo stood in the corner of the room, watching Mr. Stergens every move with relish.
"I wonder if Mr. Dom is Siac's own son?" Joe suddenly remembered the question: "Tsk, that's funny, Hey, Marquis of Seaark, why did you raise Shodick?" β
Snapping his fingers slightly, Jo muttered to himself, "If the ex-wife of the Marquis of Seeak really died of illness because of him, then Shawdick shouldn't have lived until now!" β
Mark turned his head to look at Joe, shocked by the lawlessness contained in Joe's words.
He flattened his mouth and muttered in a low voice: "Officer Qiao, you are also from a noble background, isn't this an unspoken rule of the aristocratic circle?" β
"The lady cheated and became pregnant, and her husband could not prove whether the child was his own...... Even if you have doubts...... For the sake of decency, or for the glory of the family, he will also do his best to raise this child. β
"And if a male nobleman has an illegitimate child outside......"
"This is a betrayal of the family, this is an infidelity to the wife. The only thing he can do is secretly fund ...... If the bastard is not too stupid, if he is successful in his studies, and this male nobleman is also in a high position and has enough power in his hands, he will find an excuse for this bastard to be trained by his side when he becomes an adult. β
Mark Police Academy shrugged his shoulders: "For example...... Personal secretary? After a few years of training, he will be released to become a powerful official...... Even, through marriage, let him become a part of the family. β
"This is the unspoken rule of aristocratic circles."
Mark shook his head lightly and pouted, "Interesting, isn't it?" β
Joe's eyes widened, staring straight at the Mark Police Academy. He's really, it's the first time he's heard of anything like this.
It's funny.
The mistress of an aristocratic family can keep unethical and illegal products in her home with peace of mind; And the male owner, who has also committed immoral acts that violate ethics, can only secretly raise and cultivate his own blood and bones......
"It's funny." Joe pointed to Mr. Sterns, who was busy with his work, "So, like the secret technique that Mr. Sterns is using now......"
Mark Police Academy said in an extremely resolute tone: "If Mr. Sterns's ability is leaked, half of the female nobles in the Metland continent will join forces to offer a bounty to kill him, right?" β
"Wow!" Joe's eyes widened and he looked at the Mark Police Academy in shock: "Then, I will definitely not learn this secret art...... Poor Mr. Sterns. β
Mark shrugged his shoulders, and there was a sentence that had already reached his lips, but he couldn't bear to say it - this evil ritual should not exist in the world in the first place.
That terrible evil force has come again.
The space in the bedroom was shaking, wriggling, and the walls of disgusting things like blood vessels were coming out, wriggling and swaying like living creatures. The air is filled with a crazy chaotic atmosphere.
Mr. S. Sterns breathed this suffocating breath with great comfort, and his strength was rapidly increasing.
He took out a jug of sterling silver, sprinkled a jar of wolf blood on the sterling silver tray containing the wolf's head, and recited the last secret phrase aloud.
As before, the wolf's eyes erupted with black-red mist, and in the changing light and shadow, the figure of the Marquis of Syak appeared very clearlyβhe was sitting in a brightly lit study, holding a teacup, and sipping tea with a gloomy expression.
He occasionally looked up and muttered a few words in a low voice.
But the angle of the picture in the light and shadow is limited, and it is impossible to see who he is talking to.
The light and shadow lasted for a minute, and then the wolf blood and wolf head melted at the same time, turning into a fist-sized cloud of black-red smoke and flying up.
With a heart-rending wolf howl, the black-red smoke squirmed rapidly, turning into a translucent wolf shadow the size of a thumb, with a black-red body and flickering eyes, suspended in front of Mr. Strons.
Mr. Si Gengs breathed a sigh of relief, he straightened his waist, his eyes flashed with a sparkle, and bowed to Qiao slightly: "Young master, it will lead us to the Marquis of Seeak......"
After a pause, Mr. S. S. Sterns said in a deep voice, "I can sense that he is not far from us, just to the west of us, less than ten miles away. β
Mark Police Academy looked at the wolf shadow suspended in the air a little distractedly.
This unbelievable secret technique...... If it is used to investigate cases, it seems to have a lot to offer. Their Crime Investigation Unit has a number of wanted felons at large, if they can use this secret technique......
The Mark Police Academy shuddered, and quickly suppressed his dangerous thoughts.
Hell, if you use this kind of secret technique to investigate the case, not to mention killing a wolf in the Ruhr City Zoo every time, it will be difficult for the church to explain it...... That money-hungry fat man has such a big appetite that the entire Ruhr police station is not enough to fill it.
Joe rubbed his palms vigorously.
He looked at the small translucent wolf shadow and smiled very happily: "Marquis of Seeak, it's really alive...... And, it seems, he's living a very comfortable life. Haha, so to speak, his sons and daughters are suspected of treason! β
In the room, everyone looked at Joe.
Joe held his head high and said loudly, "Take Mr. Shawdick, Mr. Dom, and the other gentlemen, and their children, all of them." Then, taking them with us, we went to visit the Marquis de Siac. β
After a moment of silence, Joe looked at Lan Mujian: "Marquis of Seeak, he is already, 'old'...... Are you sure about dealing with him? β
Qiao squeezed his eyes at Lan Mujian, and his tone focused on the 'old'. He wanted to ask Lan Mu Hibiscus if the Marquis of Siak still had the strength to resist after being poisoned by his 'years'.
Lan Mujin was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
The 'years' poison is a chronic poison, and before it is launched, it only silently soaks into the marrow of a person and corrodes his vitality. But until the toxicity completely erupts, the Marquis of Seeak's combat power will not be weakened in any way.
On the contrary, because of the continuous erosion of the source of vitality, Marquis of Seeak will have a kind of 'return to the light' performance, and in the last days of his life, his strength will gradually return to its peak state, and his combat power will be greatly improved.
Joe frowned, and he looked at Tooth and the few family elders present: "Siyak was able to escape with the Wall Chapter, and they were indeed attacked by heretics...... Well, we can be sure that he colluded with heretical treason. β
Joe kept the word 'treason' on his lips and firmly charged the Marquis of Seeak with this crime.
"The Marquis of Seeak is a force to be reckoned with...... What's more, there are heretics of unpredictable strength around him? Qiao shook his head: "The family members who came out with me this time have already lost so many people...... This time, we can't force it. β
Lan Mujin took Salian's letter of instruction and sneaked out of the Daisy Hotel with the help of shadows.
Half an hour later, the Royal Knights who Salian had left in Ruhr City, as well as a group of elite soldiers led by Lieutenant General Otto, and the senior inspectors of the Ruhr Regional Supervision Office, rushed to gather near the Daisy Hotel.
On October 18, 1379, at nightfall, Joe and his brigade scattered into the streets and alleys of the night.
In Joe's vicinity, thousands of elites in civilian clothes, like workers who had just gotten off work, mingled with the bustling flow of people on the street, silently following Joe's side.
The translucent wolf shadow curled up in Mr. Sgens's sleeve, and kept making a small wolf moan. Mr. Stans's spirit is tied to it, following the direction it leads, guiding the vast team closer to the goal.
Ruhr City, west of the old town hall, is home to an old residential area.
The oldest mansion here was founded by the earliest pioneers of the Ruhr city, and is at least hundreds of years old.
The original owners of these mansions, whose descendants are now largely the leading figures of the Ruhr city. For the family's ancestral home, it is naturally a holy place in the hearts of these descendants. Generations of repairs, additions, and countless financial and material resources have been invested, so that most of the mansions in this area are comparable to the royal palaces in scale.
Fort Bucher is such a mansion in size comparable to a palace.
This is a five-pointed star fortress surrounded by an artificial river up to 200 feet wide and covering an area of nearly 1,000 acres. The towering granite city wall surrounds the fortress, and the city wall is lined with guard towers and arrow towers, and a large group of private soldiers in black uniforms roam back and forth on the city wall, and the defense is extremely strong.
Little Caesar, the commander of the Second Regiment of the Royal Knights of the Deren Empire, squinted his eyes and looked at the heavily guarded Buchel Fort, and said in a deep voice: "Joe Rong Wittu, can you be responsible for everything you say?" β
Little Caesar, who is burly, blond and blue-eyed, handsome and has an outstanding temperament, turned around, stretched out his finger and gently poked Joe's chest, and he said very seriously: "On the orders of His Highness Salian, I will fully cooperate with all your actions...... But that's not a reason for you to be reckless. β
"The Butcher family, do you know what this family means in Ruhr City?" Little Caesar frowned and stared at Joe fiercely.
Joe shrugged his shoulders: "I'm responsible for everything I say...... The Marquis of Seeak did not die, he colluded with heresy and faked his death to escape...... He's in this Butcher Fort right now. As for the status of the Butcher family in Ruhr, what does this have to do with me? β
Joe lowered his head slightly, looking at little Caesar, who was a few inches shorter than him: "Or, are you scared?" Don't dare to go on? β
Joe was also a little apprehensive in his heart.
He was afraid of the Marquis of Seeak's own combat strength, the heresy of the Marquis of Seeak's collusion, and the possible henchmen and subordinates around him, and he was afraid that the subordinates of the Wittu family would suffer too heavy casualties, so he transferred Caesar Jr. and Lieutenant General Otto and others.
Now he was only glad that he had brought these people in.
Otherwise, look at the 50-foot-high walls of Fort Bucher and the nearly 1,000 sentinels on the walls...... The hundreds of subordinates around Qiao alone, if they are tough, they are purely to deliver food to people!
Little Caesar's face turned red all of a sudden, he gritted his teeth and stared at Joe fiercely, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "We need a battle plan...... Plus, we need more troops! β
