Surdak walked towards the cemetery, along the stone steps to the cemetery halfway up the mountain, the old servant of the Benton family who guarded the tomb sat at the gate of the cemetery with a somewhat depressed expression, this place has been surrounded by the knight guards of the Benton family, from the faces of the knights can not see any excited expressions, Surdak knows that they have been busy for most of the night, and this group of knights has not gained anything.

Jiali. Decker and Thea were accompanied by Surdak, followed by a squad of Constructed Knights.

Surdak walked to the old servant who was guarding the tomb, and the corpse of an earth dog was lying in front of him, the neck of the earth dog was pierced by a sharp arrow, and the wound had already congealed with the exposed blood, and it could be seen that the old servant guarding the tomb had a deep affection for this earth dog, and he sat at the door of the cemetery, his eyes staring directly at the body of the earth dog, and he did not say a word.

Surdak walked to the side of the earth dog, and was a little surprised to see that it had no hair on its body, and its skin was full of wrinkles, it looked like it had been shaved all the dog hair on its body, revealing a very ugly body, and on its exposed skin, there were actually surging lava veins, although it could not feel any fire elemental breath, but Surdak knew that its body must be mixed with a trace of hell dog blood.

This is supposed to be a hunting dog that was crossed by Cerberus with the local Terra dog.

Surdak took out a dagger and cocked the sharp blade to its mouth, and the sharp teeth were indeed more demonic.

The old servant of the tomb guard looked at Surdak in surprise and asked in surprise, "My lord, do you know the Neroa Hound?" ”

Surdak shook his head, grazed the dagger on the earth dog, and then inserted it back into the scabbard before saying, "I just feel a trace of demon breath on it." ”

"No wonder it can resist the pacification circle......" said Karry. Decker said as he stood in Surdak.

"Karrie. Decker, you take someone around the cemetery and see if they can find some clues. Surdak commanded her.

Jiali. Decker turned very dryly, and groped his way to the perimeter of the cemetery with the Constructed Knights.

Surdak vs. Allen. The Earl of Benton said, "Can you let your men take me to the grave of the old Earl of Benton?" ”

Allan. Benton had been following Surdak all the time, and when he heard Surdak say this, he immediately walked to the front and personally led Surdak in the way.

Surdak then began to ask the old servant about the previous night, and the old servant who was guarding the tomb replied almost the same as that of Karry. What Decker said was not much different.

Surdak walked to the front of the tomb and found that the grave where the old Earl Benton had been buried yesterday had been re-excavated......

Surdak was a little surprised that the gravediggers had put the earth dug up from the tomb on a piece of linen, and the grave was dug very neatly, and the grass around it was not damaged much, just enough to move the coffin out.

The gravediggers even wrapped the tombstones in linen, apparently trying to restore the tomb intact, so that they could steal the coffin and probably go undetected.

There were only a few simple footprints around, and it was impossible to tell if it was the gravediggers.

It's a pity that Tiger and Bernita didn't follow Surdak back to Ruyint this time, otherwise Bernita could have relied on his keen sense of smell to track down the tomb robbers.

Surdak asked the old servant again about the linen on the tombstone, and after confirming that it was all done by the gravedigger, he nodded slightly.

Seeing that Surdak actually attached so much importance to this tomb robbery, the Minister of Logistics, Alan Lee, who had lost face. Benton, too, showed a grateful expression at the moment.

Who would have thought that on the first night after the funeral, someone would sneak into the cemetery and steal his father's body and coffin, which would simply make the Benton family lose face......

Jiali. Decker returned from the outskirts of the cemetery with the Constructed Knights, and found nothing new.

They were all soldiers who had returned from the battlefield and were still inexperienced in this kind of eucalyptus investigation.

Before leaving the cemetery, Surdak continued to comfort Allen. Benton, saying that this matter will definitely be followed up by the Luyinte guard battalion, and it is impossible to let these gravediggers go unpunished, which is simply a provocation to the noble circle of Luyinte City.

……

On the way back to the city, Surdak sat in a magic caravan and said hello to Gally. Decker and Thea asked, "Why do you think these gravediggers are digging up the grave of the Earl of Benton?" ”

The lush scenery on both sides is constantly moving backwards from the car window, and the forest road here is very quiet.

This large tract of land was the domain of the Benton family.

Jiali. Decker leaned against the side of the carriage, her arm in the window, she frowned and thought seriously for a moment, and said, "Maybe it's to get some valuable funeral goods in the coffin." ”

Surdak shook his head and denied Karry. Decker guessed this, and said: "They spent so much effort, not only used the primary magic circle, but also prepared to restore the tomb, it seems that they don't want people to know that they have dug up the coffin in the tomb, I don't think it's that simple." ”

"I want to go to that cemetery, can you still find that cemetery?" Surdak to Jiali. Decker asked.

Jiali. Decker nodded, and said with great certainty: "Of course, Samira and I had just been to investigate the night before yesterday, and although the cemetery was a bit far away, I must have remembered the road. ”

Surdak sat up straight, reached out and pulled the rattle, and the coachman pulled the magic caravan to the side of the road.

Surdak pushed the carriages away and jumped out of them.

The Constructed Knights from behind followed, and he took the reins of the horse from one of the Constructed Knights, and turned it to Gallie, who then jumped out of the carriage. Decker said, "Take me to see it. ”

Jiali. Decker stepped onto another horse and rushed to the front of the line.

……

Surdak didn't expect that the so-called civilian cemetery would be built so far away from the city of Ruyint, and it would take half a day to ride a horse.

For the poor people in the city of Ruyinte, if they want to come to the cemetery to pay respects to their relatives, even if it takes a whole day by horse-drawn carriage, they will miss the time to enter the city and spend the night outside the city.

The dense forests along the road are almost all red pines, and when they reached the civilian cemetery, a black locust was planted around it.

The cemetery is very clean, and each area is divided very neatly, the tombstones are all unified ordinary stone tablets, in addition to the name of the tomb owner, there is a short epitaph, the whole cemetery is very standardized, and the cemetery keeper at the door is also very conscientious, seeing someone enter the cemetery, not only came out to greet him, but also accompanied the whole process, and introduced the whole cemetery area to Surdak.

Surdak jumped off his horse, tossed the reins to the Constructed Knight behind him, and walked into the depths of the Tombstone Forest.

He found a flat stone slab behind each tombstone, presumably to seal the tomb......

It's just that the power of holy light overflowing from his body, there is no sign of dissolution in this cemetery, because he can hardly feel the death qi here, and large areas are empty, and the breath of death, the residual soul breath, or the negative emotions such as resentment and hatred, cannot be felt in this cemetery at all, as if someone has completely washed this place with a great purification technique.

If it weren't for Karrie. Decker said that this was the cemetery, and Surdak had a hard time believing that the cemetery was for civilian use.

Except for being a little far away from the city of Ruyint, there are no other drawbacks.

"Whose territory is this?" Surdak asked, since the city hall did not have the expense, the only answer was that the land was most likely private territory.

The grave keeper, who had a shovel in his hand, replied respectfully to Surdak:

"This is the domain of Viscount Du Wei, and he also manages this cemetery, this Viscount often supports the poor people in the city, and has a good reputation in the city of Ruyint."

Surdak stopped and replied confusedly, "Oh? ”

He had never heard the man's name in the town hall.

After walking around the cemetery, Surdak greeted Garry with little interest. Decker said, "Let's go." ”

"Don't look at it again?" Jiali. Decker wondered that Surdak had walked so far and had just walked around the cemetery before going home.

The moment Surdak walked out of the cemetery, he looked back as if looking back at the grave keeper, but his gaze swept over the entire cemetery, and then he said:

"Forget it, there's no need to look at it anymore."

“……”

Jiali. Decker guessed that Surdak had found the answer, and she still didn't see what was wrong with the cemetery......

……

In a mansion in the aristocratic district of Luyinte City, dozens of nobles gathered in the hall.

On the table in the center of the room, a somewhat thin middle-aged nobleman stood in the center, his eyelids painted with heavy smoky eyeshadow, even his lips were blue and purple, and he was wearing a noble dress, and all eyes in the hall were focused on him.

He held a golden cane in his hand, the handle of which was inlaid with a ruby at one end, and the light that pierced through the gap between his fingers dazzled the people around him.

His eyes became a little gloomy and negative, but he said in a metallic voice:

"I often wonder, what is the meaning of human life?"

His gaze looked around, and then continued:

"We were born nobles, we grew up in a privileged environment, and enjoyed a life of luxury, year after year, day after day, until we grew old, and then we lay down in coffins, and our descendants buried them in the dirt, and our names were engraved on the tombstones, until our descendants also lay down in the cemetery, and finally the words on the tombstones were covered by the grass, and we were completely forgotten by the world."

Tomato is free to read

He sighed and continued:

"This is an ordinary life that many nobles will experience."

"And we are now facing a crisis that we have not seen in so many years, and it has even affected the foundations of all the nobles of Ruyette."

"Yes, all of us here ......"

"I don't know if you share my worries, the profits of our shops are almost squeezed to the point where they can only sustain the workers, the price of the crops produced in the estates outside the city has been limited, and a large area of land in the abandoned mining area has been cut in half by a road, and now he can split this land in two, and it may be cut into four in the future...... Eight petals! ”

"I'm in favor of helping the poor when we can, but that doesn't mean that we have to reduce the income of our nobles, or that we should donate the land that is rightfully ours......"

"So we can't continue to be silent, we have to rise up and resist, for the sake of the family, and also draw a wonderful stroke for our own life."

After the middle-aged nobleman finished speaking, he poured the red wine in his hand into his mouth, and then stepped off the podium with an elegant attitude.

The nobles in the hall were deeply touched at this time, and everyone talked about the recent changes in the family, and the turnover of the local nobles continued to shrink due to the influx of merchants in the city of Luyint.

Everyone was originally trying to find a way to resist this group of foreign merchants, but now Viscount Du Wei suddenly stood up and loudly appealed that these were all caused by the new policies implemented by Suldak Archon, and called on everyone to unite against Suldak Suldak together.

"Dewey, what are you going to do?" Someone asked loudly from the audience.

"I'm going to reshuffle the whole city of Ruyint......" Viscount Du Wei shouted as he sat in his place, holding his glass.

His friends around him laughed loudly, as if he were just a joke.

Some nobles even said directly and loudly: "He has 100,000 lord troops in his hands, and so many big lords to support him, and he also holds the ganbu plane in his hands, all of us here, even if we take out all our strength, it will be difficult to confront his lord army!" What's more, behind him is the Marquis of Luther, you don't know that just three years ago, the Luther Legion single-handedly stabbed the entire Talapa Darre! ”

Speaking of the Marquis of Luthor behind the Suldaq Archon, the nobles in the hall fell silent for a moment.

Archduke Newman has been devoting himself to the war between the Bednar Legion and the Warsaw Plane in the past few years, and has always let go of the affairs of the Bena Province, in fact, it is because the lords of the main war faction have left the Marquis of Luthor in the City of Bena that his legion has been in a state of being ready to go out at any time, and in the past few years, he has won many battles in the large and small plane wars in the Bena Province.

Today, the Marquis of Luthor has become a banner of the main battle faction in the province of Bena.

Anyone who knows anything about Surdak knows that he will most likely become the successor to the Luther Legion in the future.

That's why Surdak was so strong in Ruyin City, and even sent the chief of Nathaniel to the town of Hatangada on the Gampu plane, and the Marli family didn't even dare to let out a fart.

"We can fan the poor and launch a city-wide protest, and I am going to organize a city-wide march in the middle of this month, and this time I invite you to come, precisely to use your influence to mobilize those around you to participate in this march......

Viscount Du Wei said loudly to the nobles in the hall.
