Raphael asked, "What's the situation?"

Jack reported.

After Decora and Sorrenzo followed Brooke, they separated to avoid being dumped or discovered, and Sorrenzo quickly went to the high wall at the exit of the Temple of Light, hiding his body and staring at the exit, while Decora still followed.

Brooke got into the carriage at the Santo Square, and Decora had to call a carriage to follow.

Brooke's carriage had only traveled a short distance when a carriage crossed with Brooke's carriage, and Brooke jumped into another carriage.

Decora couldn't see it because of the angle, although he was suspicious, but he couldn't be sure, so he could only follow the carriage that Brooke had been riding in and went outside the holy capital.

As Sorrenzo was coming down from the high wall, he saw what Brooke was doing, so he hurriedly called a carriage and followed.

Brooke was probably just cautious about getting used to his surname, and after leaving the Holy Capital, he went all the way to a small town near the Holy Capital.

There are a lot of people in the town, and Brooke always plays tricks like entering a store and going out through the back door, like entering the bathroom of a tavern, changing his clothes, but he seems to do it casually, and doesn't seem to really think that anyone will follow him.

Sorrenzo, who was experienced, followed him to death, and finally he saw Brooke enter an alchemist's mansion.

Seeing that the house was defenseless, Sorenzo climbed over the wall from the back of the house and entered the house.

There are not even servants in the house, which is normal, and the alchemists in the small town are likely to have poor alchemy skills and live a relatively poor life.

Reining his breath, Sorrenzo leaned to the window of the living room of the house, where he heard the conversation inside.

A strange old man's voice said, "My lord, aren't you embarrassed for me? I can't unlock your spatial ring." ”

Brooke's voice sounded, and said: "This is my family's ring, it is very important, there is no dispute in our family, the patriarch died suddenly, and he didn't have time to calm the spiritual imprint, and asked the master to help." ”

The alchemist said, "I really can't do anything, it's useless for you to kill me." ”

Brooke said: "I heard that there is an alchemist in this town who has unlocked the space ring, which is a gem of a thousand gold coins, don't lie to me, unlock them and it will be yours." ”

The alchemist said, "Oh, no one really knows anything about unlocking the spatial ring, but maybe, I can give you some clues." ”

Brooke said, "Okay, tell me the clues, and the gold will be yours." ”

The alchemist said: "There used to be an alchemist living here, but then I don't know why, it seems that I was appreciated, so I went to the Holy Capital, and it is said that I joined the Alchemy Guild, my lord, I think the alchemist you are looking for may be him." ”

Brooke said, "Don't you know his name?"

The alchemist seemed to think for a moment before he said, "It should be called Horn, yes, that's the name." By the way, my lord, I haven't heard of untying the ring, but I've heard that Horn has a strange habit of communicating only with people who know alchemy, and once someone put a sword around Horn's neck, as if he wanted him to do anything, but he didn't agree. ”

Brooke's extremely serious voice rang out: "How did I not know... Oh, and that kind of thing?"

The alchemist said, "What's the solution, Horn is this temper." ”

Brooke seemed to be silent for a moment before he said, "It's okay, I can't force Horn, and others don't want to force him." ”

The alchemist said, "My lord, I don't understand what you are talking about. ”

At this point, Jack finally said, "When Sorenzo heard this, he left softly. Now he's going to investigate Horn's situation, and if he finds out, Sorenzo won't do anything and will report back to the adults. ”

Raphael got up and sat down, frowned, and said, "This thing sounds a little weird, but it's true, except for the necromancer, probably the people of the Alchemy Guild are most likely to unlock the ring's brand." ”

Lucia said: "It doesn't matter what alchemy guild he is, my lord, we can just get Horn in, even if he is not afraid of death, he will not be able to withstand our torture." ”

The Alchemy Guild is actually not small, but it is not powerful.

At the beginning, the Alchemy Guild was able to be established because of only one thing, that is, the sharing of alchemy technology, if you want to get any technology from the Alchemy Guild, you must pay the corresponding level of technology.

Alchemy, it is really varied, there is everything, the Alchemy Guild is so strong, but the force of the Alchemy Guild is very low, and even the orderlies in the union are just alchemists who rely on equipment to fight.

Few strong people are attached to the alchemist, just as it is almost impossible for the nobles to be attached to the poor.

Fortunately, the Alchemy Guild has a good relationship with the Magic Guild, and now it has a good relationship with the Mercenary Guild, and it also has a good relationship with many chambers of commerce, so it is not something that can be easily offended.

Raphael said, "Let's see who Horn is." ”

The Alchemy Guild will pay attention to it very little, even Raphael, because there is no benefit, most of the alchemists of the Alchemy Guild have signed an agreement with the Alchemy Guild, and the magic products they make are only sold to the Alchemy Guild, and the Alchemy Guild will sell them uniformly and wholesale them to various forces.

After a while, Sorenzo came back and said as soon as he entered the door: "My lord, I found out, Horn is a member of the board of directors of the Holy Capital Alchemy Branch. After Brooke went to find Horn, he obviously hit a wall, and Brooke probably went to the alchemist. ”

Under the branch president of the Alchemy Guild, there are three council members, and the position is not low, but usually everyone pays attention to this branch president at most, and will not pay attention to the other members of the Alchemy Guild.

Raphael hesitated: "It's not easy." ”

Lucia said: "My lord, let's do this matter, you don't have to worry about it, we can find an alchemist to test it." ”

Raphael rolled his eyes and said, "What to try, go, find some masters from the Inquisition, arrest Brooke, don't have any scruples, tell him, if you dare to resist, you will be killed." ”

Lucia was surprised, "My lord, is this all right?"

Sorenzo didn't care, the head should be like this, he hadn't seen Glasius afraid of anyone before, so he immediately went to do it.

Raphael added, "Lucia, go and get me Brooke's information." ”

A moment later, while Raphael was looking at the materials, Brooke was also brought in.

Brooke, as a powerful Divine Light Warrior, was pressed by two referees and knelt in front of Raphael.

Strength is not equal to status, at most it is easier to get ahead, this is more obvious in the court, many ordinary referees are very strong, the reason is very simple, many of them were heretics before, strong, but have no status.

Brooke has already taken five forbidden circles, these special forbidden circles all contain several toxins, which can definitely have a huge impact on his actions, if he dares to resist, as long as the forbidden circles can delay his movements for a second or two, he will definitely die.

Cold sweat was running down his forehead, and Brooke said nervously, "My lord, I didn't do anything, you see, when they brought me here, I didn't resist." ”

Raphael took a stack of materials, grabbed Brooke's hair, stared at Brooke's eyes with deep eyes, and said: "Resist? Hmph, even if you are very strong, can you resist the Inquisition? Brooke, I find that you are very wrong, you are not even Joyla's cronies, and even your family is not very supportive of Joyla, but Joyla actually sent you." ”

Brooke exclaimed, "My lord, that was before, when Your Majesty came to the Holy Capital, my family expressed its devotion to the Most High God in a very positive way. ”

Raphael laughed, "Joyla made some promises to your family, didn't you? Tell me if you made you a senior faculty member?"

Damn, you don't want my life, do you?" Brooke thought for a moment and decided to threaten Raphael, saying, "Yes, my family has an earl, very old, and has a lot of influence in the southeast of Lordaeron. ”

Raphael pulled open the map of the wall and asked, "Where?"

Brooke said, "It's at the end of the Zhuonu Mountains. ”

The southeastern part of the Lordaeron Empire, near the Drownut Mountains, is the area where the Holy Light Church has the greatest influence.

Raphael saw that the territory was between the Oran Empire and the Lordaeron Empire, and the Brooke family's territory was like a flower heart, bordering the territories of many other nobles in Lordaeron, the largest of which was the Dukedom of Cairo in Joyla.

Raphael smiled and said, "Well, yes, it's powerful. Did you tell the family that you were going to be the chief judge?"

Brooke said, "Of course!" As soon as he got the news, he was in a hurry to report back to the family, but he didn't expect that with Joyla's support, there would still be an accident at the meeting.

Even the ancient Earl family can't produce a few Divine Light Fighters, right?" Raphael added, "It seems that you are the most promising junior of your family. ”

Brooke hurriedly said: "Yes, my lord, our family has paid a lot of price this time, and almost all the masters have followed His Majesty to the Holy Capital!"

Raphael said in surprise, "Oh, so you also have quite a few subordinates available in the Holy Capital?"

Brooke sensed that something was wrong and said, "Hell, they're all almost dead, but it was so messy at the time, it should be... I don't think there's anything special going on. ”

It's just that he himself doesn't believe it.

Raphael laughed, "Brooke, what the hell did Joyla call you for?" Otherwise, maybe your family will be ruined. ”

Brooke frowned, but did not answer, he did not dare to guarantee that Joela had such thoughts, what if it was really just a coincidence? Then his family's efforts were not in vain? Anyway, his territory was powerful, and he was an ancient nobleman, but he had 20,000 elite soldiers.

Raphael looked at Brooke's expression, and said, "You must think that your family's strength is good, and it is impossible for Joyla to risk being questioned by many subordinates to deal with your family?"

Brooke said: "Your Majesty is a very trustworthy person. ”

Raphael said: "Is it a condition to promise you to be the chief referee from the beginning?"

Brooke gritted his teeth and decided to do as he said, his current confidence was greatly affected, and he felt that there was nothing wrong with a famous and powerful bystander analyzing it, as long as it was vague and people didn't know the specific goal, so he said: "No, Your Majesty said that he would fight for a very good trading port for our family in the Lordaeron Empire, which is the one on the Sanlangia River." ”

Raphael walked to the map, touched his chin and looked at it, and after a while, he pointed to the northeast of the Lordaeron Empire and smiled, "No, no, Brooke, don't joke with me, it should be this port." ”

For the first time, Brooke felt that Raphael was a little unfathomable, and this matter, whether it was Joyla or his own family, would never be revealed to the outside world, and he said in shock: "My lord, how do you know?"

Raphael pouted, this was too easy for him to guess, this port on the map is not a large inland port, but a large seaside port, which is bordering the Ryan Empire, and the competition here must be very fierce.

If Joyla hadn't calculated Brooke's family, it wouldn't have been this port, but it would have been this port.

The aristocratic promise that Joira said, Raphael finally understood, this does not mean that the aristocracy does not count if he promises, what should be done, and the person who promised will do it, but if there is a trap in it, then as a participant, please keep your eyes open.

Just like the promise he made to Joyla at the beginning, the Inquisition would listen to her, but it was not necessarily hers, but there were similarities.

Raphael said, "Say, Brooke, don't hide it, it's not good for you." ”

Brooke's body trembled slightly, and he fought fiercely in his heart, he paid such a big price, as long as he told the situation and the wise men in the clan, I believe that they could see through it, Joyla's promise is still valid, so that the family must still be able to take advantage of the situation to develop! Presumably Raphael may not dare to really kill himself, he gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, Your Majesty just wants me to get your support." ”

Raphael's face was gloomy, and Lucia hurriedly said, "My lord, leave it to me, I promise he will say it." ”

It's just that this girl's eyes are so excited? Raphael shuddered and said, "Lady, how can you do such a thing, let Sorrenzo come." ”

Brooke's whole body trembled as he was dragged down, and he cried out miserably: "My lord, you can't do this to me, I haven't done anything, Your Majesty will know." ”

Raphael ignored it, lay down again, and waited patiently while running the magic veins while enjoying the massage.

It wasn't long before Sorrenzo returned, and this time Decora followed.

Decora walked up to Raphael and said, "My lord, I asked." ”

Raphael said, "What about people?"

Decora said, "Since this is all the case, of course I will kill it, but, my lord, is this appropriate?"

Raphael said to Lucia: "There are some scourges that don't have to be kept, they must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise they may give others a chance to write a legend, hehe, this bastard, from the very beginning, I can feel the hostility towards me in him, I don't have to care about Joira's face, I don't have to care about anyone's face, as long as someone puts his hand into the inquisition, cut it off, understand?"

This is also for other people.

Sorrenzo said: "If the Inquisition had been so tough, would it have aroused hostility from everyone. ”

Raphael laughed: "Aren't there any hostilities towards others now? Why do you always use the method of installing people? It's because we're so close." How many people are there in the Inquisition? There are no less than 200,000 people in the whole continent, are there any low-level fighters in these 200,000 people? Except for some internal affairs officers in the large branch offices, almost all of them have high-level strength, hmph, who dares to touch us! Therefore, you have to figure out that unity and closeness are the most important thing, and everything else is a trivial matter. We're the Inquisition! Just like Brooke, just give him a crime, and don't involve his family, that's the proportion. If his family is not satisfied and complains to the Holy See, then find an internal clerk who will be in charge of the matter. For all other normal matters, just follow Joyla, and remember, on the surface, the Inquisition will always only support the Pope, and this position must be clear!"

Grasius never so simply stated the principles of the Inquisition, he was only a man who relied on his handle and his own strength to suppress the Inquisition.

Raphael, on the other hand, not only gave their family hope, but also made it clear to them the advantages of the Inquisition.

Although Lucia and the three of them also knew that the inquisition should be united, they were still a little at a loss in the face of various supreme sect leaders' indications, but now, they had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

The eyes of the three of them lit up, and they said, "Understood, my lord." ”

Then Sorenzo said: "My lord, Brooke doesn't know much, but he just said that His Majesty told him the clues and asked him to follow it, but he wanted to use this matter to try to involve the adults, saying that he had some vague ideas, but he didn't form a plan." ”

Raphael sighed, "Brooke doesn't know much about it, and it's really strange. Okay, let's go find Horn together and know his whereabouts?"

Decora took out a magic teleportation array, asked a few words, and said, "My lord, he is attending a private banquet on the top floor of the Chico Hotel. ”

Raphael said: "Lucia, De Cora, Sorrenzo, come with me, I will go and meet this Horn in person, this can be regarded as a face-saving right, right?"

Lucia covered her mouth and smiled, all the giants of the inquisition were gone, and the face was big, and it was estimated that the timid would be directly scared to death.

The four of them, dressed in ordinary clerical robes, arrived at the Chico Hotel.

The people in front of the hotel are all nobles and some high-level clergy of the church, it is very lively, the bulletin board at the door says that the top floor has been rebuilt, the best alchemist, the best magic circle, the safest banquet hall on the mainland, and the royal noble enjoyment.

The use of royal words to show dignity is not taboo by the royal family, let alone the holy capital.

The people in the Inquisition usually wore face masks when they were out on business, and they were now, so no one knew them.

Entering the hotel, in the luxurious reception area, Lucia lifted the corner of her cloak so that the director of the reception area could see the mark of the Inquisition's blood-red angel.
