1340. Investigation
The Benton family in Luyinte City is considered a wealthy nobleman if it goes back a few decades, and the family has thousands of lords' private armies.
Some people say that the old Benton found out that Lord MacDonnell had the idea of defecting to the Green Empire, and some people said that Lord MacDonnell had the idea of defecting to the Green Empire, so the lord army was disbanded on the spot, and some people said that Lord MacDonnell incorporated this army.
The Benton family did not choose to join Lord MacDonnell's rebel army, and they could not have too many lord armies if they wanted to live under the nose of Lord MacDonnell in Ruynt City.
This is how the Benton family survived from the Battle of Talapakan with a neutral stance.
If anyone thinks that the Benton family has been hollowed out, they are very wrong.
This aristocratic family can last for hundreds of years in the empire, and the family is destined to hide some secrets.
The history of the Benton family can be traced back to the founding of the Grimm Empire, when the ancestor of the Benton family was a great swordsman in the original Duke of Newman's Constructed Swordsmen.
Wounded in battle, he returned home, and later settled in the city of Ruyinte.
Hundreds of years have passed in a flash, and although the Benton family has not had a highly talented swordsman over the years, there are people in each generation who can become a swordsman, so the Benton family has been able to continue.
……
The old servant who guarded the Benton family cemetery was not a master of seclusion.
He is just a valet who dares to live in the cemetery, and he lives in the cemetery because he basically doesn't have to do any work here, which is far more comfortable than in the manor, and the time is basically in his own hands, and he lives more casually.
In order to avoid going wrong, these gravediggers also arranged a pacification circle around the cemetery guard's hut, although this magic circle can isolate all sounds and light outside the barrier, but it can have a strong sleep aid effect, which means that if someone is affected by the pacification circle at night, they will soon fall asleep.
The group of tomb robbers did not think of it in any way, although they put the grave keeper to sleep, trying to steal the coffin without knowing it.
But it was a dirt dog that accompanied the grave keeper to guard the cemetery that spotted them, and then barked in front of the grave keeper's house.
The grave robbers tried to sneak into the grave keeper's house and stab the old servant to death, but the first thing the grave keeper did when he walked out of the door was to release a magic flare into the night sky, and the gravediggers fled the cemetery in a hurry.
The knight guards of the Benton family, who arrived later, found that the body of the Earl of Benton had been stolen and immediately reported it to Allen. Minister Benton.
The news also reached Karrie before dawn. Decker's ears.
Jiali. Decker wanted to deal with it himself, but remembering that Surdak had attached great importance to the necromancer last night, he personally ran to Ruyant Castle and reported the news to Surdak.
……
Hear Carrie. Decker recounted the details of last night, and Surdak sat on the sofa and took a cup of milk tea from the maid.
He was very interested in Carrie. Decker said, "I guess you haven't had breakfast yet, so just come along with me for a bit." ”
"Okay!"
In the dining room, the maid brought a warm white towel.
Jiali. Decker sat down in his chair, wiped his face with a towel, and wiped his hands again, and then learned Surdak's movements, and tore up a wheat cake and put it in a large bowl. Decker was a little confused, and then the maid held a large pot of hot broth and placed it on the table.
Seeing Surdak's signal, he poured the milky white piping hot broth on it, boiled the pieces of meat and piled them up on the scones, and Surdak added a touch of fine salt to his bowl.
Then he held a huge soup bowl and used a silver spoon to bring the soup cake to his mouth.
Jiali. Decker was not a picky eater like Samira, and ate a large bowl with Surdak.
Thea walked in from outside and said to Surdak, "The magic caravan is ready. ”
Surdak sees Karry. When Decker had finished eating, he stood up and said, "Then let's go out of the city and go to the cemetery!" ”
When I walked to the door of the restaurant, I turned to Carrie. Decker asked, "Has Samira returned?" ”
"Not ...... yet" Carrie. Decker replied.
Surdak instructed Thea: "Send someone to Mukuso to call Edgar and ask him to come to the guard camp in Ruyin City immediately to organize the daily work, and his one-day vacation is over." ”
Thea immediately ran out at a brisk pace again.
Jiali. Decker said a little unnaturally, "I'm sorry, chief, but I didn't manage the guard camp well. ”
See Karrie. Decker looked a little depressed, and Surdak put his hand on the shoulder of the tall female warrior and said to her with a smile:
"What does this have to do with you, I just think this matter is probably not as simple as it seems, and then you and Samira will investigate this matter, and if necessary, you can call Gulitum over at any time."
Saying that the two had already walked down the steps of the castle, Surdak took the lead in boarding the magic caravan and instructed the coachman:
"Let's go to Benton's cemetery first."
The coachman swung his whip and made the magic caravan circle around the pool in the front courtyard before heading towards the gate.
Just as the carriage was about to leave the courtyard, Thea hurried after her, and every step she took was on a wave, as if something was carrying her forward.
This is the water magic of the Cana clan, 'Riding the Waves', and Thea is very skilled in using it.
When Thea got into the carriage of the magic caravan, the coachman raised his whip again, urging the two Guborian horses on their way.
……
In the early morning of Ruyin City, there were very few magic caravans on the streets, and Surdak's magic caravan galloped all the way out of the city, all the way north, to the cemetery in the south of the Benton family's territory.
At this moment, there were thousands of lords' private troops gathered around the foot of the cemetery mountain, and these lord's army soldiers were eating breakfast.
Surdak saw Alan from afar. Benton rested on the steps with a tired face, and he stepped out of the magic caravan and came to Allen. Benton was in front of this time Alan. The Earl's cronies woke him up and reminded him in his ear, "Your Excellency, Suldaq Archon and Chief of the Guard, Calry. Mistress Decker is here. ”
Allan. Benton woke up with bloodshot eyes, exhaustion and anxiety.
Surdak immediately walked up, reached out and patted his arm, and comforted him: "Don't worry, this time I will personally watch this matter, and I will definitely find out the ...... of the matter."
Allan. The Earl of Benton looked grateful.
"Did your people find any clues?" Surdak to Allen. Benton asked.
Allan. The Earl of Benton shook his head, his expression dark.
